The evidence went right down The old esopha-grass.

Ha ha ha.

Hey, sports fans,

Biological phenomena we all know And love, huh?

Let it be done.

You can't do it With that, man.

[ blows out candle ]

Inhalation.

Inhalation.

To inhalation.

And peristalsis.

Come on now.

To peristalsis.

Mmm. Don't spill.

Hey, I can think Of another one, man.

We close in three minutes.

Oh, fat chance, baby.

It'll take bink just that long To find his mouth again.

Hey, don't go away, Baby doll.

We're just three country boys, Wouldn't hurt a sand flea.

Don't kid me. I know who you are.

You're football players From the college.

That's right.

We're the ones that make That team worth watching.

We're the big three.

Big deal.

You know who This fine upstanding

American blue blood Sitting right there is, huh?

That's senator Anthony scofield's

First and last-born son.

I'm going to give you A break, baby.

How'd you like to kiss A tight end?

Two minutes.

You got to teach me Your method, kim.

Smooth. Smooth. Ha ha ha!

Drink up.

Hi, there, baby doll.

Just a little kiss, And then we'll say good night.

Hey.

Kim!

[ tires squeal ]

Kim.

Uh, bink, he's bleeding. Help me get him --

He's bleeding Really bad, man.

Will you help me get him Into the back seat?

What are we going to do?

Take him to the hospital.

We can't! What are we going To tell them?

That he got stabbed.

How are we going to Tell them what happened?

He got stabbed by somebody In the bar.

That's what we tell them -- A local.

Alex...

Would you get The screwdriver?

You got that, kim?

Some local character stabbed you Outside the bar.

Kim! Hey, bubba! You got that?

What's up, steve?

It seems that alex scofield Was involved

In a stabbing last night.

The senator's son?

The same.

How serious?

It wasn't young scofield,

But one of his buddies, Stabbed in the abdomen.

A kim hughes -- A student at the university,

An athlete, I think.

Scofield, avery, and hughes --

Football players Known as the big three.

Temporarily it's the big two,

Thanks to someone outside The makai lagoon club.

Get on it. See what h.P.D. Has on this one.

Any witnesses?

No, and the assailant Is still at large.

Quite a loose end, Wouldn't you say?

You're good at loose ends, Danno.

Let's move on this.

It's a request From the governor.

Heat from upstairs, huh?

You read it right.

Flight 572 from Washington, d.C.,

Now arriving at gate 12.

Yes, senator. Yes, sir. I understand perfectly.

I'll handle it Just that way.

How long will you need The car?

A day. No, two days. No more than that.

Yes, sir. No, that's very good.

I'll keep you informed. Yes, I understand.

I'm staying At the hawaiian regent.

Hey.

Bink avery?

Uh, yeah.

Five-o.

Uh...

Hey, look, man, I got places to go.

If you got any questions, Why don't you ask

One of the 450 cops I talked to last night?

Well, we cops have this thing About the horse's mouth.

It won't take long -- Five minutes.

Drink?

Your father briefed me On what you told him

On the phone today, alex.

So I know what Really happened last night.

The important thing is What did you tell the police?

Nothing that would upset you.

I need a precise answer, Alex.

This escapade could have Serious political consequences

For your father If it's not handled properly.

Did you tell the truth To the police?

No.

Are you sure?

I told you no.

Okay. What did you tell them?

Exactly what did you Tell them?

That kim was carved up By some local

Outside the makai lagoon club,

Somebody that kim had hassled There a couple nights before.

Description?

Local type, medium build, 5'10",

Dark hair about down to here.

Facial features?

No. You see, It was too dark last night.

Never really noticed The other time.

Are you sure you didn't give Any kind of precise description?

You see how it all Happened too fast.

And what about a weapon?

What kind of weapon Did you say he had?

Screwdriver.

7-incher.

Yellow handle.

And if I had known You were coming, hal,

I'd have baked it In a cake.

Is this kim's blood?

Naturally.

So the police find The screwdriver

On the man who fits The description you gave,

They'll have their case.

That's it. There's nothing else.

I'll be in touch.

Hey, wait a minute.

Don't you want to hear The details

Of what Anthony scofield's son did

To drag you all the way Out here?

No. No, it's the lie We have to deal with now.

What really happened is just Something ugly in the past,

Something that needs A little paint job.

Touch ups are really Your specialty,

Aren't they, hal?

Only because there's such A large market.

There's where it happened.

I feel like putting a rope Around this spot

And charging admission.

A lot of blood.

Probably Nine-tenth's alcohol.

Look where the trail Leads to, duke.

Must have gotten stabbed Back there,

Gotten into Scofield's car here.

But from the stains,

It looks like The car was parked

In the middle of the lot.

Hughes might have staggered.

Maybe his buddies managed To stop the bleeding

Long enough to get him In the car.

What seems to be Your complaint, miss?

Oh. Well, uh...

I'd rather talk To a doctor about it.

We have several Departments here.

State your problem, or I won't Know where to send you.

Well, uh...

I...

Steve.

Yeah.

Checked out scofield and avery. Their stories matched.

But their description Of the guy who stabbed hughes

Just doesn't give us anything.

Neither one could come up With any details?

Well, the attack Was completely unexpected.

It's not unusual.

Just not very helpful.

We've got virtually nothing To go on, chin.

[ snaps fingers ]

Chin, I'll tell you What you do.

Get over to that hospital.

The guy who can give us The best description

Is the guy who was assaulted, Right?

Yeah.

Now hughes should be out Of surgery by now.

You get with him and start With "How do you feel?"

And keep asking him questions.

Okay.

Thank you.

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Malano.

It's a real honor From what I hear.

So talk fast. I sunburn easy.

I need a patsy,

Somebody to take An assault rap --

Young guy, early 20's, Local type,

5'10", medium build,

Long hair, good with a knife.

That's it?

I could get you A couple hundred.

Just get me one -- Hungry, but smart.

Somebody who knows when To open and shut his mouth.

Charges will be dropped, Of course.

Immediately.

No problem.

Five-o is a problem.

They got their nose in this?

Nobody gets his commission Till the law is satisfied

And mcgarrett is smiling.

Mcgarrett.

A razzle-dazzle cop gets lucky Once or twice

And he shakes them up Clear to washington.

Your man can handle mcgarrett?

Just stay close to a phone.

Well, there was damage To a major artery

And, naturally, To abdominal tissue,

But he's a big boy -- A lot of muscle, vitality.

The problem's going to be Keeping him off a playing field

Long enough to get The stitches out.

What about the weapon?

It doesn't look like A knife wound.

It was something thin, A little blunt.

Maybe 5, 7 inches long.

Unusual for this type Of stabbing.

The only thing I find usual

About any kind of stabbing Is the mess.

[ mumbling ]

Hold it.

How long has he been talking?

Since he started coming out Of the anesthetic.

What has he been saying?

I haven't understood a word.

Local kid...

Stabbed me.

Local. Some local.

Hair type...

Not caucasian.

Stabbed me.

What did He look like, kim?

Stabbed me.

Kim.

Some character.

Local.

Thank you.

[ telephone ringing ]

Hello?

The guy's name is matsui, David matsui.

Burned-out building On obua,

Side entrance, 20 minutes.

What time Do you come on duty?

About 3:00.

Cops.

Asking questions about The haole gutted last night.

Say, miss. Miss.

Thank you.

Are you an employee here?

Yes.

We'd like to talk to you.

We're from five-o. Can we have your name, please?

Lani okano.

Were you working here Last night?

Yes.

Do you remember these people?

I waited on them.

When did they leave?

Around closing.

And when did you leave, Miss?

Something bothering you, Ms. Okano?

You seem nervous.

Did you see what happened In that parking lot last night?

Please, just let me go.

Please.

Oh, god. I feel sick.

Think you'd better come along With us.

Hey, bink.

Yeah.

Want to give me a hand?

Yeah.

Hey, alex, I think We may have a problem.

Why?

You know the choker I always wear,

The silver one With my name on it?

Well, I lost it, I think, Last night at the beach.

Don't worry about it.

Well, I thought I should go And take a look around --

No, no. You don't go down To that beach.

You just trot down to the store And get yourself another one.

You see, everything's Being taken care of.

You're forgetting Who you've been using

For your insurance All this time -- scofield.

It means you can afford To be stupid.

It means we all can.

I hear kim's okay.

Yeah. I don't know how long I can take this.

Take what?

Well, every time I think About last night,

I get dizzy.

Then don't think about it.

Mr. Matsui?

Yeah.

Mr. Matsui.

What did malano tell you?

He just said you needed me Really bad, really fast.

You got a record?

Oh, I've been known To pull a few knives

On a few people Who deserved it,

If that's what you call A record.

I need a person who can Convince the police

That he stabbed someone. No charges will be pressed.

You probably won't Be in custody 24 hours.

How much?

$5,000.

Okay. Fill me in.

It happened last night -- Late --

Outside a bar near ala moana.

You don't remember anything About it because you were drunk.

Here's the weapon.

I suggest you handle it A great deal

Between now and your arrest.

And, uh, when does that happen?

Any moment -- the police have Your description.

And, uh, one more thing...

Steve.

Yeah, danno.

This is lani okano.

She waits tables At the makai lagoon.

I think she's got something.

Won't you sit down?

Try and relax.

Nobody's going to hurt you.

Thank you for coming in.

Have you worked At the club long?

Uh, about three months.

You like that kind of work?

I-I need the money.

I see. Are you going to school?

Uh, typing courses...

Whenever I can Save enough to go.

Take it easy.

Just relax.

Do you know a lot of people Who go to that bar?

No.

What did you see Last night, lani?

See the stabbing?

You know, By not saying anything,

You're practically Telling me you did.

Who did it?

Someone you know?

Don't be afraid to tell me.

You're trying To protect someone?

Someone at the bar, maybe?

Please, please. Take it easy.

Lani, who stabbed kim hughes?

I did.

What did you say?

I did.

Lani, do you realize What you're saying?

That's a very serious Statement.

Yes.

They raped me.

They what?

They raped me.

Yes, governor. Yes, governor, I understand.

I will keep you posted, Most assuredly.

Thank you, sir.

The governor just called. He's worried.

Maybe he should be.

Politics Is a dirty business.

The press Is stoking this one

With every hot little detail They can find.

Okay, we've got two versions Of the story, gentlemen --

One, a simple stabbing Outside a bar.

The second,

The stabbing of one Of the three alleged rapists

By their desperate victim.

Now let's hear some arguments Pro and con.

The bloodstains.

Yeah.

What bloodstains?

In the parking lot Where kim was stabbed.

They led to the middle Of the lot,

Not to where cars Are normally parked.

What about the weapon?

She can't remember What happened to it.

Under the circumstances, Why not?

That would prove She's telling the truth.

Why would she lie?

Okay, gentlemen, let's ask Ourselves that question.

Why would she lie?

Danno, check her credibility.

Background, friends, Previous employers.

Then go out to the beach The girl specified.

Look for details That might match her story.

Chin, you pick up Bink avery and alex scofield.

Bring them in.

See if their story Has changed since yesterday.

I don't have to tell you This is a tough one.

No syndicate, no mainland Connections, no masterminds --

Only three Drunken football players

And a frightened Little local girl

Who was suddenly pushed Into the limelight.

Gentlemen, I want the truth.

Good morning, hal.

Morning.

I suggest you dry off And have a look at this.

You're no doubt due For a five-o interrogation.

What is it?

A picture of your friend From the zanzibar.

Be sure bink sees it After your trip downtown.

Then destroy it. I'll see That kim gets a copy.

You're a genius, hal.

Truth and justice will never Be the same with you around.

Just stay away From the ropes at five-o.

If mcgarrett Backs you into a corner,

He'll keep you there.

Right. Okay.

[ electric crackling ]

Thank you, ed.

Sit down, please.

Which of you Is alex scofield?

I am.

So you must be, uh, Bink avery.

Right.

Both of you, along with Your friend kim hughes,

Have been accused of rape.

I assume you've been apprised Of your rights, correct?

Mm-hmm.

Do you want to modify the story You gave to the police?

Unh-unh.

Do you know a girl By the name of, um, lani okano?

O-k-a-n-o?

Never heard of her.

At least, Not before all this.

She works at The makai lagoon club.

Well, a lot of people work At the makai lagoon club.

She claims to have Waited on your table

The night of the rape.

I sure don't remember.

You don't remember The description

Of the man who Stabbed kim, either?

I wouldn't say that.

Oh, now you remember?

Your initial description Was rather vague.

It could fit Any number of locals.

He was slight build, Thin face,

Narrow forehead, Small beard...

Eyes were kind Of close together.

He was wearing a work shirt And some kind of blue jeans.

You like that better?

That's very good.

Is that about right? Is that what you remember?

Oh, yeah, That's the guy.

Why did you wait Till now to tell us?

Why couldn't you have Described him before?

I guess what they tell you In psych is true --

You remember something better If you sleep on it.

I couldn't remember Worth beans yesterday.

You have all the answers, Don't you, mr. Scofield?

Did sleeping on it Jog your memory?

Uh, well, I --

I don't think Bink sleeps, period.

I mean, he doesn't remember Worth beans any day.

Ask his professors.

You always Answer for him?

No, not always.

It's a good thing I'm a jock, you know?

All right, chin, Take them to your office.

Get a description on paper.

Notify h.P.D. And get out an apb.

Then you both can leave.

And I may want To talk to you again,

So hang loose, gentlemen.

Why hasn't joe Picked you up yet, daddy?

You'll be late for work.

How can I go to work

When this Is on the front page?

How can I show My face down there?

Mama, I --

I want you to stay Around the house

And help me today,

Just as if none Of this ever happened.

Eat your breakfast

And start sweeping The garage,

So everyone will know That you're still

The same as you always were.

Then maybe They'll forget quicker.

Just delivered for you.

How are you Feeling today?

Okay, thanks.

Good.

He fits Five-o's description.

Let's take him. There he goes.

I'm going after him. Call for a backup.

Car 43 to central. Spotted suspect.

We are pursuing.

Halt! Police officer!

Halt! Police officer!

Police! Come on, It's all over!

Come out of there! Come on!

Okay, let's go.

[ telephone rings ]

Mcgarrett.

Oh, good. Good.

Take him To the lineup room.

I'll be there As soon as possible.

Where are you now?

Yeah, I got it. Thank you.

H.P.D. Has nabbed a suspect In the kim hughes stabbing.

Get a warrant, danno. Search the place.

See if you can come up With a weapon.

Try the dresser, too, Pete, huh?

All right, you can wait In the hall, mr. Scofield.

Step up to the marks, please.

I want you To try to identify

The alleged assailant.

That's him -- the guy In the blue scarf.

That's the guy.

Mcgarrett please.

Yeah, che, What have you got?

No other fingerprints?

What about blood type?

I see.

Well, that makes it Rather simple, doesn't it?

Okay, thank you.

The screwdriver found In matsui's apartment

Is covered with matsui's Fingerprints,

And with blood the same type As kim hughes'.

How did kim do On the mug shots, chin?

Made a positive I.D. No problem.

Can it be that the girl Is lying?

Steve, Lani okano is clean.

She has no political ties, No reason to lie.

Logically, her story Still makes more sense.

Nobody at the bar remembers Seeing matsui there,

And no matter How mad the guy was,

Why would he take on hughes

With two other football players Standing right there?

Yeah, that's three Against one, isn't it?

I have trouble With that screwdriver.

A tough like matsui?

Switchblade, maybe, But not a screwdriver.

But you would expect A screwdriver from somebody

Groping around a car seat Looking for a weapon.

I wonder How many phone calls

And meetings they Had with each other

Before they got That story straight.

Oh, boy, it's neat, Gentlemen. It's neat.

And I'll tell you something.

It's just a little scary.

Because if and when A lie can be twisted

To make it look Like the truth so neatly

That even our legal system Doesn't pick up on it,

That's scary. That's terrifying.

Who's that washington dude

That always seems To be one step ahead of us?

Uh, zimmerman.

Hal zimmerman, Attorney at law.

Probably got his start Stuffing ballot boxes

On the precinct level.

The trouble is, he's smart. He knows what he's doing.

Lawyers like that Are pros at closing mouths

And doing it With laundered money.

So what's our next move?

We don't Have one yet, danno,

But bink and alex do.

If they're guilty of rape

And think they've Gotten away with it,

Sooner or later they're Going to tell somebody,

And I want to be the guy That that person tells.

Okay.

Let's keep an eye On those two

For the next couple Of days.

Duke, you and chin Get on it.

Danno, you hang loose in case They come up with something.

Mr. Mcgarrett.

Yes?

Hal zimmerman.

Oh, yes, mr. Zimmerman.

I'm sorry to come in here Unannounced,

But my plane back to washington Leaves within the hour.

You're finished so soon?

You're a fast worker, Counselor.

No, no. You are.

I wanted to thank you

For your thorough handling Of this thing.

It doesn't take much to set off Political fireworks these days.

Looks like someone Was trying to do just that.

Are you calling An accusation of rape

Mere political fireworks?

It's not unusual, Mr. Mcgarrett.

That's politics.

Is it?

I've seen far dirtier tricks Than this pulled off.

I bet you have.

Well, thank you again, Mr. Mcgarrett.

Oh, I'll suggest To senator scofield

That he try your islands

Next time He has a few free days.

I'll look forward To that.

There are a few questions I'd like to ask him.

Good day.

You're going to tell them You lied.

Tell who?

The police. I'm taking you down there.

Daddy.

We're going to get This thing forgotten.

I won't. I won't.

You do what I tell you.

Do you know what you're Doing to your family?

I can't go to work.

Your mother can't even Walk down the street.

You're going To tell them you lied

So people will stop Talking and looking,

So we can go on.

What about what happened?

Don't you care What really happened?

Let me tell you Something about caring.

I care about you and me

And the rest Of this family.

I care about keeping food In the kitchen...

And keeping that damn car.

And seeing us go on, Maybe even better than before!

And now we can't.

Not with what happened.

Get your purse. We're leaving.

What do you make Of that?

Look, she's got Just as much right

To say something today As she had yesterday.

I'm not saying she doesn't, Mr. Okano.

Well, get whatever It is she has to sign

So she can take back What she said.

Ma'am. Ma'am.

What are you asking her for? I'm her father.

Ma'am, are you sure you wish To retract your statement?

Yes.

Duke?

He's headed your way.

I'll check out The jewelry store.

Steve, word just in from h.P.D.

Lani okano has retracted Her statement,

And guess who isn't pressing Any charges against matsui.

I knew it.

I knew it. Of course.

Matsui was brought in And bought off,

And that was the deal -- The perfect whitewash.

No charges are pressed, Matsui is off the hook,

And our three football heroes Walk away clean.

You talk about collusion.

And the girl...

It must be an absolute Nightmare for her.

[ telephone rings ]

A scarring nightmare, Danno. Poor kid.

Mcgarrett.

Got a hot one, steve.

Bink avery just walked Into a jewelry store

And bought himself a choker Made of silver links.

A choker?

Yeah. Shopkeeper says bink knew Exactly what he wanted.

Says he had one, Only he lost it.

And get this --

An hour ago, bink was Searching for something

On the beach where the girl Says she was attacked.

Good work, chin. Stay on it.

It seems our friend bink Lost a choker,

And it could Have been the night

He and his friends staged That little beach party.

Worth a try, danno.

Let's get some men Out there

And see what We can find.

Any luck, chin?

No, nothing so far.

We covered The area twice.

It wouldn't be hard evidence Even if we did find it.

The old man. Sure.

Chin, the other morning When I was here,

There was on old guy On this beach

With a metal detector.

You know, one of those Dime detectives.

Maybe the reason We can't find the choker

Is because he already did.

Grab some of those guys And start asking questions.

Someone may know Where he lives.

Okay.

Go away.

I got nothing you want

And I don't want nothing You got, so leave.

You tell them to leave And they come in anyway.

Must be either cops Or muggers.

Williams, kelly, Five-o state police.

Cops.

Put it away before You set my machine off.

You must get quite a lot Of use out of this thing.

Going to make me A rich man some day.

When the world Runs out of forks,

I'll be rich.

The strip of beach About a mile up the road --

You find A silver choker there

A couple of days ago?

What's a choker?

A short chain of links. Makes a very small necklace.

Nah.

Worth anything?

Quite a lot right now.

Nah.

You sure?

I get lucky enough To find something

Worth real money maybe About once every two years.

No, sir, I didn't find No, uh...

Choker.

Choker. No, sir.

All right. Sorry to have bothered you.

Two guys didn't know The rules of the game.

Finders keepers. Yes, sir.

Finders keepers.

And losers weepers.

It's not Going to happen, man.

I'm standing there watching, And the guy was so sunk...

Get over there And sit down.

Mcgarrett.

Steve, we found it -- A lost choker.

Good work, danno. Good work.

Now our two friends are over At alex scofield's place.

Pick up a warrant In case we need it.

I'll meet you there.

I want you To call the police.

Call the police.

I'd be glad to.

Call them and tell them You lied.

Tell them What really happened,

What you did to me.

Call!

But they'll listen to you.

Remember?

I'm just a nobody.

But you're a big Football player

And some rich senator's son.

You're a somebody.

They'll listen to you.

Now call.

Call or I'll pull This trigger.

[ knock on door ]

Five-o. Open up.

You just lost The ball game, sweetheart.

[ knock on door ]

Five-o! Open up. We've got a warrant.

Tell them what you Did to me!

Put the gun down, lani.

No!

You're not going to solve Anything with the gun.

Tell them!

Put the gun down, lani.

They don't Have to tell us anything.

Hey, man, can't you guys Get that gun away from her?

Chin?

Lani, look what we found.

Do you remember this?

It fell off him that night.

You bet it did.

Danno.

Recognize this, bink?

It matches The one you've got on.

Let's go. You're both under arrest.

That thing's not evidence. It doesn't prove anything.

It was found on the beach

In the exact location The girl was raped.

It's not his.

It's got his name on it. Is that yours, bink?

Don't tell them anything!

You might feel better.

Why don't you Get it off your chest?

Shut up.

I can't, man. I told you I couldn't.

Why not? You've done it before.

It's different.

How?

It's different, man. We did this!

You bet you did it. Now book 'em, danno.

We didn't do anything.

We did it, man.

What's the matter With you?

Why aren't you listening? This is being taken care of.

They're going to get A smart lawyer,

But we've got a smart d.A.,

And I guarantee you

That we're going to do Everything possible

To put them where They'll never do that

To anyone again.

Now, will you make Another statement?

Yes.

Thank you.

Come on.

I'll get you Something to eat.
