[ phone rings ]

Hello?

Yes, this is
Professor dobs burke.

Who?

Herbert southwood, professor.

I think you've been waiting
To hear from me.

I've been waiting a week
To hear from you.

Just what exactly is the delay,
Mr. Southwood?

Have you --
Have you got the articles?

Have you got the money?

Yes, I've got the money.
What's taken you so long?

Those bones have been around
For a long time, professor.

What's a few more days?

I've only got a few days left.

You want them right now?

Of course, I want them ri--

Why do you think
I came all the way down here?

Well, come and get them
And bring the cash.

Where?

Got a pencil?

Okay.

Mr. Southwood?
Mr. Southwood?

[ click ]

Oh, no.

Oh, no.
No, no.

Dobs burke,

Professor of anthropology,
Wessex college, boston.

Why did you
Pick up the necktie?

Reflex action.

In a sense, we both deal
With related exhibits, sir.

We do?

Deceased beings.

Of course, there's a difference.

Yours are far more recently
Deceased than mine.

Only if we're lucky.

Now, what about the necktie?

As I said,
It was purely instinctive.

I came into the room,

Observed the anthropological
Find on the floor,

And immediately began
To examine its clothing

In order to determine its age.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. What is its age?

Second half of the 20th century.

Just by looking at the tie, huh?

What are you doing here,
Professor?

I had an appointment
With the deceased.

He was to deliver to me the --

Dan.
His name is southwood.

Herbert southwood.
Here's his driver's license.

You say you had an appointment
With southwood, huh?

That's correct.

What for?

For the purpose of his turning
Over to me the skull,

The bones, and the teeth
Of sinanthropus pekinensis.

Of what?

Peking man?

Exactly, sir.

Oh, you've heard of the fossils
I'm alluding to then?

An incredibly valuable find

From which it was possible
To commence a definitive study

Of the origins
Of oriental civilization.

I remember reading
An article about them.

They, uh --
They disappeared

Shortly before the attack
On pearl harbor, didn't they?

Well, you're a well-informed
Man, mr. Mcgarrett.

I like to read,
But if I recall correctly,

They've never been
Recovered.

Well, now you're less
Well-informed.

They have been recovered,

And I was to have received them
This afternoon.

From southwood?

Yes.

Well, where did he get hold
Of them?

That I cannot tell you.

I attempted to elicit such
Information from mr. Southwood.

But his only response
Was to assure me

That if I provided the money,
He would provide the fossils.

How much money?

$80,000.

Where were you able to raise
That amount, professor?

I'm authorized by the government

Of the people's republic
Of china

To agree to any terms
In order to recover the fossils.

They consider them
Their property, you know.

So you're --

You're acting on behalf
Of communist china?

Mainland china?

With the approval
Of the state department, yes.

I see.

[ door opens ]

Yeah, dano, what do you got?

Doc's report.
Pretty routine.

Male, caucasian,
Approximately 27.

Of course, professor burke
Determined all that

Just by examining the necktie
He was strangled with.

[ chuckles ]

Incidentally,
It was his own necktie.

Steve, this part could be
Interesting.

Oh, yeah.

"Pallor of unexposed
Portion of skin

"Together with peculiar style
Of haircut

"Suggest recent term
In penal institution

Or other confinement."

Yes, that could be very
Interesting.

Let's find out.

Get his name, description,
Photograph,

And prints on the wire
To the fbi in washington.

It's in the works.

This southwood
Was only 26 or 27,

What could he
Know about peking man?

Those bones disappeared in 1941,
He wasn't even born yet.

Man: that's right, steve,
Burke's authentic.

And what he's doing
Has the full approval

Of the state department
And the department of defense.

He's one of the top dogs
In the old bones business.

The big boys in peking
Asked for him personally.

They want those fossils
Back where they came from.

And we want them to have
Whatever's rightfully theirs.

So get on top of it, steve.
Give him any help he needs.

What would you like me to do,
Jonathan,

Get my men out there
With shovels?

I'm trying to dig up a killer
Not a bag of old bones.

This is not just a murder.

It could have political
Consequences.

I don't read you, jonathan.

Steve, burke's acting for
The people's republic of china.

He was making contact

With someone whom he believes

Was about to deliver
Those fossils.

Now, that man was murdered.

You know how sensitive
Matters are right now.

And how easily they can feel
They've been insulted.

We've got to find that killer,
Steve, and...

And?

Let us pray that he doesn't
Turn out to be chinese.

So long, jonathan.

[ hangs up ]

Dano.

Doc was right.

Southwood was released from
San quentin three weeks ago.

One to five for armed robbery.

I think I'm going to round out

My anthropological education.

The major discovery
Of the fossils

Was made in 1927

In chou kou tien,
About 30 miles south of peking.

Now, the digging continued there

Until the japanese invasion
In the '40s.

Uh, cream, sugar?

Sugar, please.

Now, there was a company
Of u.S. Marines

In the process of leaving
China at the time.

And the head of the peking
Union medical college

Asked them if they would

Take the fossils with them
For safe keeping.

So the bones
Were carefully packed

And assigned to a squad
In the marine company.

Did the bones ever leave china?

We don't know that.

The baggage train was captured,
And the marines dispersed.

The crate disappeared.

After the war, of course,
The search commenced,

But until now, nothing.

Professor, the man who offered

To turn the bones over to you
For $80,000,

How do you know
He wasn't a fake?

He described the crate
And its contents.

Southwood described it?

Yes. You see,

The crate was specially marked
When it was turned over

To the marines to make sure
It was quickly spotted

Once it reached
The united states.

He knew that.

Couldn't he have read about it
Somewhere?

Not unless he had access
To the diaries

Of the director of the
Peking union medical college.

And the young man

Was not articulate
In the chinese language.

You tested him?

[ scoffs ]

Mr. Mcgarrett, you don't agree
To turn over $80,000

Entrusted to you
By the government of china

Without a certain amount of,
Uh, detective work.

-dano.
-yes, steve.

I'd like a list
Of southwood's cellmates

When he was in san quentin.

I'm on it, steve.

Is chin there?

Yes, he is.

Put him on, and you stay on.

Chin, steve.

Yeah, steve.

Chin, see if you can get a list

Of the marines
Who were in that squad

That carried the bones of
Peking man out of china in 1941.

Now, one name on both those
Lists should be the same.

I'll bet on it.

-steve.
-yeah.

On the nose.

Sergeant raymond e. Parmel,
United states marine corps.

He was a member of the detail
Transporting those bones,

And he was also in a cell

With herbert southwood
At san quentin.

Had to be.
Now, what else about parmel?

Let's see, discharged
From the service in '45,

He's 52 years old.

1948, he pulled seven
For armed robbery.

1952, he was involved in
An unsuccessful escape attempt,

Ended up with 20 years more.

A year ago, he was transferred
To san quentin.

And here's the kicker, steve.

Yeah, tell me. He's dead?

[ chuckles ] No.

Ten days ago, he tried
To break out of prison again.

This time, he did it.

So he's on the loose, huh?

Probably on the loose
Right out there in honolulu.

Come in, mr. Parmel.

Are you acquainted
With my nephew?

Yeah, we were roommates
For a while on the mainland.

Under whose auspices?

Auspices?

-the state of california.
-hmm.

Was the food good?

It was better in the marines.

-sit down. Sit down, please.
-thank you.

Some tea, perhaps?

Yeah, thank you.

Was my nephew robust?

He wasn't hurting any.

Told me
To get in touch with you.

For what reason?

He said you're pretty good
At arranging things.

What matters you need arranged,
Huh?

I need a young lady in her 20s.

Will she be haole?

Yeah, and american.

She has to have documents
To prove who she is

And what she wants.

If you can arrange that,
I'll fill you in on the details.

I can arrange it. What details?

San quentin's sending
Descriptions

And mug shots, steve.

We'll get an apb out on parmel
As soon as they get here.

Thanks, chin.

All right, gentlemen,

What are the assumptions
Up to this point?

The bones are in honolulu
And parmel knows where.

He's been waiting 34 years
To come and get them.

But why escape?

He only had two more years to go

Before he was eligible
For parole.

And where does southwood fit in?

Maybe getting ahold of the
Fossils is a two-man operation.

He thought
He could trust southwood,

But southwood
Decided not to wait,

Tried to make a deal
Ahead of time.

Parmel found out.
It was in the newspapers.

Yeah, realized that he had been
Double-crossed and busted out.

Yeah, and he came here
To kill southwood.

That makes sense.

So parmel is here,

Professor burke is here,
Peking man is here.

It won't be long
Before somebody tries

To get all three
Of them together, huh?

Okay.

I've asked professor burke
To come see me about it,

But in the meantime,
Let me ask you something.

Are we missing a bet, gentlemen?

What bet, steve?

Just suppose

That parmel is not the only man
In that marine squad

Who knows where those bones are.

He was a member of the squad,
The detail, certainly,

But other men might
Know what they were guarding

Or where they were stored.

Let's see, let's see
Where those other men are,

The ones that survived the war.

Find out if they know anything.

-computer time, huh?
-right.

Steve, professor burke is here.

Oh, show him in, please.

-professor.
-mr. Mcgarrett.

-sit down, won't you, please.
-thank you.

Has anyone else
Made contact with you?

No, sir, not yet.

I'd like your assurance

That you will notify us
Immediately if anyone does.

Do you expect someone
To approach me?

-I'm absolutely convinced of it.
-who?

Man named parmel.

Raymond parmel.

With knowledge of the
Whereabouts of the peking man?

That's my guess.

Professor, I realize
The temptation will be great

To make an kind of deal
He might suggest

In order to gain possession
Of those fossils.

I would like to
Impress on you, though,

That this man
Is a suspect in a murder.

And a recent escapee
From san quentin prison.

Now, whatever your inclinations
Might be,

It is absolutely imperative

That you call me the moment
He makes contact with you.

Is that understood?

Thoroughly, sir.

Professor, I won't
Keep you any longer.

Here's my card.

I'll expect to hear from you
As soon as you're contacted.

You will, sir. Bye.

Bye.

Danvers, joseph f.,

Sergeant major,
United states marine corps,

Stationed at parris island.
Who's he?

He was in parmel's squad
In 1941.

Hmm.

That makes
Six accounted for.

Two of them
Are still in the service,

Three have been discharged,
One was killed in action.

That leaves
Six unaccounted for.

Maybe danvers can remember
Some names

Or some things that happened.

Pack your bags, dano.

You're going to parris island,
South carolina.

Right.

[ ringing ]

Hello.

Yes, this is professor
Dobs burke. Who's this?

My name's not important.

Just think about me as being
Peking man.

What do you know of peking man?

The one thing you want to know.

You know where the fossils are?

More than that.
I can deliver them to you.

-you want to talk?
-yes.

Good.

You meet me at the base
Of the aloha tower,

2:30 this afternoon.

And you bring $25,000.
It's a down payment.

How do I know
That this is authentic?

If it isn't, you don't pay.

Aloha tower, 2:30.

Professor?

Yes?

If you really want
To see those bones,

Don't talk to any cops.

Don't even go near any cops.

Any cops,
I'll know about it.

You'll never see peking man.

You got that?

Yes. Yes, I've got it.

[ hangs up ]

You better not have yelled cop.

Who are you?

You keep asking me that.

I'm the guy who telephoned you.

No, I haven't notified
The police.

I'm glad to hear that.

Did you bring the down payment?

How do I know you're able

To, uh,
Turn over the fossils?

What's this?

Read it.

Pretty good description
Of the shipment?

The crate, the markings,

Distribution of the skulls
And bones in the crate.

It's perfect.
Where are they?

Where's the money?

Aren't you going to count it?

You're not going to cheat me.

It's not your money.

Besides, you're so hot
For those bones,

You're not going to do anything
To screw it up.

What do I do now?

Go back to your hotel.

When you hear
That telephone go "Bing,"

I'll give you the word.

Williams, hawaii five-o.

Cops, huh?
Looking for someone I know?

Maybe.

Who?

Peking man.

What man?

Peking.

What outfit was he in?

Company b,

First battalion, fourth marine,
Sergeant parmel's squad.

You came a long way
For nothing, buddy.

There wasn't anybody
By that name in parmel's squad.

What do you remember
About the trip out of china

In november, 1941?

B company was located
In tongzhou.

About 6:00 that morning,

We got orders to move south
To tientsin,

Where a couple transports
Were waiting.

The japanese
Attacked the supply train

Around 2:00 the next morning.

Lieutenant groves
Came out yelling

For parmel to get those crates

And move them down to
The transports on the double.

What crates?

The ones that were
Consigned to us

For a special shipment.

How many were there?

Three, I think.

Okay, go on.
What happened then?

Then, we did it.

You did what?

Got the crates on the transport

And moved them all the way
To honolulu.

When was that?
Do you remember the exact date?

Well, let's see.

Two days before pearl harbor,
5 december.

Okay. And what happened
To the crates then?

Well, once we dropped hook,
Parmel, and crowe,

Ed crowe,
Another member of the squad

And a buddy of parmel,

Told us to send the crates
To pearl harbor.

And that's the last
I seen of them.

Two days later,
The stuff hit the fan,

Most of us were shipped out.

So that's, uh,
All you can tell me?

That's all I know.

Okay, sergeant major,
Thank you.

You've been a big help.

-hey, wait one.
-what?

Peking who?

Man.

There was a sydney man

In the second squad.

No, wrong man.

Thanks anyway.

Sunyako, you are an artist.

No, no,
I am an entrepreneur.

I employ artists.

You are very punctual,
Young lady.

May I introduce
Miss summerville?

Hi.

Yeah.

Yeah, she'll do just fine.

Oh, no, sir.
No, mr. Mcgarrett.

No one's tried to contact me.
No one at all.

It's, uh,
Rather disappointing.

As a matter of fact,
I'm planning to --

What's that you say?

There is every reason to believe

That those bones
Are in honolulu.

Perhaps somewhere
At pearl harbor.

I'm going to conduct a search.
I'd like you with me.

Mr. Mcgarrett, I'm --

I appreciate your interest
In my problem,

But I'm packing my bags
Right now.

As a matter of fact,

I plan to catch the first
Available flight home.

I could use your help,
Professor.

Mr. Mcgarrett, forgive me,

But I just don't have the heart
For another wild goose chase.

I see.

Very well, professor. Thank you.

Chin.

-yes, steve.
-check the airlines.

See if professor burke has
A reservation for the mainland.

Right.

I think his name is dobs.

Steve.

You're sure of that, lieutenant?

Okay. Thank you.

No good, steve.

There've been three searches
Of old barracks at pearl harbor

In the last five years.
No bones, no trace of them.

But they were sent there.

We have sergeant major
Danvers' word for that.

There must be some record,
Some trace somewhere.

That was the time
Of the pearl harbor attack.

A lot of tings got lost
Or destroyed.

I don't care how many searches
Were made of pearl,

We're going to make one more.
Come on, let's go.

Frank.

Steve, this is chin.

Yeah, go ahead, chin.

I checked the major airlines.

No reservations in the name
Of professor d. Burke.

Put a tail on him
Right away, chin.

Right.

Well, that clinches it.

Burke is lying.
Parmel has contacted him.

Peking man
Is about to change hands.

[ band playing marching music ]

No, nothing so far, danny.

Is this something, sir?
B company, third battalion.

Let's see.

It sure is. Thank you.

Come in.

Steve.

What do you got?

Listed articles of government
And personal equipment.

Clothing and supplies
Assigned to supply shed d

Pending disposition
To appropriate persons

And destinations, by order
Of sergeant r.E. Parmel

For lieutenant g.G. Groves.

Parmel.

Description of articles --
Miscellaneous.

What does that mean, colonel?

By then b company
Was spread out over the pacific.

So it must have been equipment
That never caught up with them.

Where is supply shed d?

Just where you'd expect
In the corps, right after h.

[ chuckles ]
Let's go.

Corporal scott.

Open up.

Sergeant major,
Start the search.

Steve.

I found parmel's footlocker,
And, uh, jones and grady.

We've got reports on them.
They were killed in action.

Colonel, have you got something
To cut this lock with?

Sergeant major,
Bolt-cutters, please.

Parmel, jones, and grady.

Oh, thank you.
Dano.

Go ahead.

The peking man.

Think so?

Then how come he's got
A bullet hole in his head?

From graves registration, sir.

Thank you.

Graves registration confirms

Your father's burial here,
Miss crowe.

Of course,
You knew that already.

But these formalities
Must be gone through.

Oh, I understand.

Now, you're requesting

That your father's remains
Be exhumed and transferred

To the westland society
Of southern california

At long beach for reburial.

Yes, please.

Well, I don't see why
Your request should be denied,

But there is a certain amount
Of paperwork.

Verifications,
That sort of thing.

But if you'll just leave me
Your name and address

And where
I can get in touch with you

Once I receive
Official approval.

[ band playing marching music ]

I think we can assume that
Those footlockers

Contain the remains
Of a united states marine.

Probably killed
On the attack at pearl harbor.

Wait a minute.

That doesn't make sense.
Why didn't they bury him?

Let's put ourselves
Inside parmel's head.

He's got a crate
Containing some rare

And extremely valuable fossils.

Now, if he can hold onto them
Until after the war,

They could be worth
A lot of money.

Then the question is how is
Parmel going to hide the fossils

Until he can dispose
Of them himself?

Okay, how about the footlockers?

One belonging to him,

Two to men in his squad
Who are dead.

So he shoves the fossils in
The footlocker, burns the crate.

There's no crate, there's no way
To trace the fossils.

The two dead marines
Aren't likely to come back

Looking for their footlockers.

But that brings on
The next question.

Why aren't there any fossils
In the footlockers?

My guess

Is that he was
Going to do exactly that.

Put the remains of peking man
In those footlockers,

And then he got a better idea.

Have we got
Parmel's service record with us?

Yeah, right here.

Let's see, date of enlistment,

First assignment, reassignm--

B company, first battalion.

Returned honolulu
5 december 1941.

Reassigned 9 december --

9th of december, 1941.

That's two days
After pearl harbor.

To company a, first battalion...

And placed in charge
Of burial detail.

Does that suggest anything
To you, gentlemen?

It sure does.

The remains of the corpse
In those footlockers --

Was switched. Switched.

And peking man is now buried

In the grave of that marine
Under his headstone.

Buried there at the direction
Of sergeant parmel.

Let's go find out.

[ phone ringing ]

Yes?

Okay, professor,
We're almost ready to move.

You have the fossils?

I've always had the fossils.

Right about now, I'm about ready
To let you have them.

Where? When?

Right now,
I'm going to tell you where.

The westland society's
Crematorium,

Long beach, california.

-crematorium?
-that's right, professor.

Unless you're there
With the rest of the $80,000

When I tell you to get there,

Those old bones are going
To be cremated to a cinder,

Flown out to sea, and dumped.

I'll be there.
Just tell me when.

You just sit tight.

When I tell you, "Go,"

You're going to have 36 hours
To get to long beach,

Pay me what you owe me,
And collect your bones.

So you just sit there
By your telephone, professor,

Because that meter
Starts ticking

The second I say, "Go."

[ click ]

[ hangs up phone ]

Chin, anything on burke?

Still keeping quiet, steve.

Hasn't made a move.

That means those bones are
Still in the ground somewhere.

What about the apb on parmel?

Nothing. He's playing it
Very cool, very careful.

Well, he's had 34 years
To plan his moves.

But how's he planning
To dig up those fossils?

He can't just drive a u-haul
Into a national cemetery

And dig up a coffin.

No.

But there is
One way to do it.

[ snaps fingers ]

You do it in broad daylight,

In front of witnesses,
And at government expense.

You just say, "Please."

-legal exhumation?
-you guessed it.

Chin, I wanna
Know how many requests

Have been made
In the past few weeks

For exhumation for the purpose
Of reburial elsewhere.

Now, one of those graves has
The bones of peking man in it,

And I'll bet --

I'll bet you

That that's how parmel plans
To get hold of them.

Steve, there have been
Three requests for reburial

Since the 18th of this month.

The names are rodzinski,
Crowe, edgarton.

Crowe?

Hold it, chin.

Danvers mentioned a crowe,
Ed crowe, a corporal.

Assistant squad leader.
A buddy of parmel's.

Chin, would that be ed crowe?

Edward andrew crowe, steve.

That's the one.

Was he killed in action?

Yeah, steve.

Strafed from the air
On december 7, 1941.

Has the exhumation request
For crowe been approved?

Yeah, steve,
His daughter's expected here

Sometime this afternoon
To sign the final papers.

All right, chin,
Listen to me carefully.

You stay right where you are
Until the lady shows up.

When she leaves, tail her.
Don't let her out of your sight.

She may lead us to parmel
And to the bones.

Okay.

Dano, have che
Get ed crowe's dental records.

I'd like a comparison

With the teeth in that skull
We found in the footlocker.

On my way.

Something's wrong.

-what's wrong?
-I don't know.

I was supposed to sign the final
Papers this afternoon,

But when I went, the guy said
There'd been a hitch.

-what kind of hitch?
-I don't know.

Something about a relative --

What relative?
That's bull!

Ed crowe grew up
In an orphan asylum.

I knew everything about him.

Che.

The man was crowe, steve.

The dental chart confirmed it.

Dano, call manicote.

Get an exhumation order
In the works.

Good work, che.

Okay, steve, the veterans
Administration okayed the order.

You can dig.

Only, steve,
It had better be the fossils.

They're not exactly
Enthusiastic about it.

Open it.

Peking man never wore
A g.I. Uniform.

Those are ribbons
From the korean war.

He switched grave markers on us,

And that rainstorm last night

Washed away any chance we might
Have of spotting the switch.

Steve, professor burke is here.

Professor.

Mr. Mcgarrett, I thought
I explained to you

That I was abandoning
My investigation.

And leaving on the next
Available flight if you recall.

Surely, you could have
Found one out of hawaii

In the last 36 hours.

Here they are, steve.

The lady is
Jo ann summerville.

She posed as
Corporal crowe's daughter.

And I think you know
Maro sunyako.

Oh, I do indeed.

Up to your old pursuits,
I take it, sunyako.

Pandering, forging.

I resent the inference.
Unless you're arresting --

I resent being herded in here

And forced to stand about
With common criminals.

Well, right now,
I am only interested in parmel,

And you three are the only ones
Who can help me find him,

And that is exactly
What you are going to do.

Or, so help me,

I will find ways to put you away

For a long, long time.

Now, is that understood?

Are we ready to cooperate?

Was that parmel?

Yes.

Chin...

Come with me.

May, slide in here.

Keep an eye on the professor.

Greetings.

All right, I got your message.
What's it all about?

Freeze.

Where's the rest
Of your platoon?

Out digging foxholes
In the alley?

You're under arrest, parmel.

So, I'm under arrest.
What happens now?

You'll be tried
For the murder of southwood.

You go back to san quentin
To finish your sentence.

Which is life.

What do I get for killing
Southwood? More life?

Professor, let me clue you in.

You still want those bones?

Of course I do.
That's why I'm here.

You'd better have a nice,
Quiet talk

With this thickheaded cop here.

I'm the only guy who knows
Where those bones are.

Where they are is where
They're going to stay.

Unless I walk out of here
With $80,000 in my pocket

And a full pardon.

Mr. Mcgarrett.

Get him out of here.

Mr. Mcgarrett. What --
Do you know what you're doing?

Go home, professor.

All right.

Hello, operator?

I want to place
A long-distance telephone call,

State department,
Washington, d.C.,

Person-to-person
To mr. Jonathan kaye.

202-655-4000.

What do you want
With jonathan kaye?

Jonathan, the man
Is a convicted killer,

A prison escapee,
And a suspect

In another murder
Here in honolulu.

He's also the only person
Who knows where peking man is.

I know where peking man is.

He's buried
In the national cemetery.

But you don't know where.

No, I don't know where,
But maybe I can find out.

How?
By opening every grave there?

I don't know yet, jonathan.

There have already
Been protests.

When you opened that grave
The other day,

It hit the wire services.

Veterans' families have been
Sending telegrams

To their congressmen.

They think you're going to dig
Up every grave in the cemetery.

Steve, I understand
Your problem.

Do you?

And you've got
To understand ours.

We've got to weigh the relative
Value and importance of parmel

Against our developing relations
With china.

Which you've obviously
Already done.

I think it's been
Done without either of us.

One man

Against the foreign policy
Of the united states?

Jonathan, I don't give a damn
About communist china,

And I will not bargain
With parmel.

Be reasonable, steve.

Look,

Suppose I make
A bargain with you?

What kind of bargain?

I'll give you the rest
Of the day.

I've got to fly out of here
By 10:30 tonight.

Find peking man by that time,

And parmel gets
What's coming to him.

Otherwise,
I'll have to follow orders.

Okay, you've got a deal.
By 10:00 tonight.

This is the grave we opened.

Now, how do we find
The right one?

Any ideas, suggestions,
Notions, hunches?

Well, aren't they numbered,
Steve?

Doesn't the corps
Have a record?

It's inaccurate, chin.
We checked the record.

About 15 years ago,
Graves registration

Began a rearrangement
Of the cemetery.

They moved about
A quarter of the plots,

And then the plan was abandoned.
All we've got left is a mess.

It can't be very far
From the grave we dug up.

I mean, shifting markers is
Kind of conspicuous, isn't it?

It could have been done
At night.

Could we dig up one or two
In the same area?

Chin, right now
They'd be on our backs

If we dug up
A handful of weeds.

All right, gentlemen,

Every grave in that cemetery

Has the body of a serviceman
In it except one.

Now, what's different
About that one,

And how do we find
That difference?

Put your minds to it.

What's in that coffin

That is not in
Any of the others?

Steve, how about asking it
The other way?

What's in all the other coffins

That isn't in the one
We're looking for?

What?

Belt buckles, buttons,
Shrapnel, maybe.

Dental fillings, dog tags,
Rings.

Metal. Metal.
I think you've got it, dano.

There is no metal in peking man
Or on him.

-jenny?
-yes, sir.

Get me marine headquarters
At camp smith, please.

No. Next one.

Stop.

-what have you got, che?
-hold it, steve.

Now, very carefully,
All the way around the edges.

Now dead center.

Steve, this coffin has metal all
The way around its perimeter.

Probably nails. No other metal.

And nothing in the center?

Nothing.

Jonathan, that's it.

All right, steve.

Dig it up.

Open it.

Hold it.

What are you talking about,
Jonathan?

Steve, I want
This casket sealed

And sent back
To washington with me.

-mr. Kaye, we have spent --
-hold it.

My orders are to have
The contents examined and tested

Under government supervision
In washington

And its proper ownership
Established.

Doctor, I'd like you
To come back with me.

What about parmel?

He's all yours, steve.

Book him, chin.

If peking man
Really is in there,

How old would you say he is,
Steve?

500,000 years,
Give or take a few thou.

I think we put
A new record on the books.

Yeah, could be the oldest
Missing-person case in history.
