Room 702.

Oren here.

Our friend arrived from Hong Kong on schedule.

In the copter now.

About five minutes.

Good.

The helicopter arrives in minutes.

I'll get an ambulance.

Forget it. Get him in the car.

Anything?

I'm just starting.

From the angle, it came from somewhere up there.

Kono's checking it out.

Get the story here, Danno.

A man is shot, wounded, maybe killed,

and you don't notify Honolulu Police or Five-0.

Why?

I'm sorry.

I'm not authorized to tell you anything.

Not authorized?

I'm under orders to say nothing about the incident.

Whose orders?

All right, never mind.

I know who, and I think I know where to find him.

Get me Mr. Kavanaugh at the Honolulu General Hospital.

Hold it right there, Mr. McGarrett.

Get me Kavanaugh, and get him fast.

Good morning, McGarrett.

Good to see you again.

Okay, Mr. Kavanaugh, drop the glad hand.

Why the freeze-out at the heliport?

Just a little accident.

You don't expect me to buy that, do you?

Try. Not a chance.

Hey, McGarrett, back off.

This does not concern Five-0.

Now, is that right? That's right.

Well, since you're still new out here, Mr. Kavanaugh,

maybe nobody's told you. What?

That not even United States Intelligence

can cover up a shootout

and tell me it's none of my business.

Now, I wanna know what's going on,

and I wanna know now.

All right, McGarrett.

His name is Shepard.

He's a British subject.

He spent the last 10 years in Red China.

He's a freelance newspaper reporter,

among other things.

Meaning he was working for you.

For the last couple of years.

Sounds like amateur talent.

I wish I had a few more just like him.

He dug us up a map showing the exact location

of every missile silo Red China has built

or is planning on building.

And he was bringing it here?

And he was bringing it here.

Obviously some Chinese agent

found out about it somehow and tried to kill him.

So here we sit.

Waiting for him to tell you

how he was carrying the information, huh?

We know how he was carrying the information.

Then what's the problem?

The map is here.

He memorized it.

It's all in his head.

Yes?

Dr. Forbes wants to see you

in his office right away.

Tell him I'll be right there.

He'll be right there.

Thank you.

Shepard is still alive.

Did he talk?

He's still in a coma.

We must make certain that he never regains consciousness.

How? The whole wing of the hospital's been sealed off.

We'd never get to him.

Then we shall have to find a less conventional way

of disposing of Mr. Shepard, shan't we?

Though the bullet didn't actually penetrate the skull,

it did crease it, so to speak,

causing this severe lineal fracture,

which explains the coma he's in.

In itself, the fracture's not necessarily serious,

but there's a distinct possibility

Mr. Shepard has sustained a brain contusion,

which is causing intracranial hemorrhaging.

I think we'd better find out.

How?

A cerebral angiogram is a possibility.

The one sure way to know is surgery.

Isn't that pretty risky?

It's hardly relevant

if it's the one way to save the man's life.

What are his chances?

I'm not in the habit of quoting odds, Mr. Kavanaugh.

Tell me this: is it possible

he'll regain consciousness without an operation?

It's unlikely. Is it possible?

Yes. Then we'll wait.

The longer surgery's...

I said we'll wait, doctor.

Then I must tell you I can't accept any responsibility

for what may happen.

No one's asking you to.

Kavanaugh? What?

What about the guy who shot Shepard?

What about him?

It's Five-0's job to find him.

Be my guest.

You're not interested?

Let me put it this way: no.

There are 800 million Chinese Reds.

One of them shot Shepard. That's good enough for me.

I got other problems. Yeah.

Such as how the Chinese knew about Shepard, for instance.

Has it ever occurred to you, Mr. Kavanaugh,

that somewhere along the line

your, uh, outfit has sprung a security leak?

Yes, McGarrett, it has occurred to me,

and it is my guess that Shepard did something

to blow his own cover.

Amateurs usually do.

Yeah, but your men and only your men

picked up Shepard at Honolulu Airport

and ferried him by chopper to the heliport.

Look, McGarrett, he blew his own cover,

and any enemy agent watching the airport

would have seen our copter pick him up.

Well, I'm sure that he'll apologize to you

for any inconvenience he caused you, Mr. Kavanaugh...

if he ever gets the chance.

I'll pick you up in about an hour, darling.

Okay, Mom. Aw.

Your girl's getting to be

a fine little sailor, Mrs. Forbes.

Thank you.

How is he now?

Kavanaugh,

if you don't let me operate immediately,

you better find yourself another doctor.

Oh, hold it, Forbes. Hold it, please.

Nurse, do you mind?

This is too big, it's too important

for me to decide whether you should operate or not.

Maybe I should, but I'm not.

Then who is? Washington.

Washington?

Jonathan Kaye, Chief of the Pacific Area.

I'll have word for you within the hour.

Kavanaugh... One hour, Forbes. That's it.

Doctor, for you.

Hello.

David, you've got to come home right away.

Janet, what is it?

Don't ask questions, just get home.

Janet? Janet?

And I assure you, doctor...

As I've already assured Mrs. Forbes.

Your daughter has not been harmed,

nor will she be, unless of course...

Unless what? David.

What kind of man are you

to involve innocent people in a thing like this?

A 9-year-old child.

What you refer to rather contemptuously

as "a thing like this" may well become a question

of my country's survival.

If my methods of pursuing that end revolt you,

so be it.

I'm not interested in winning your approval, doctor.

Only your cooperation.

As for the child, she is,

as you say, innocent.

But so is any weapon that a man may choose to use,

whether a bomb, a gun, or a scalpel.

What are you getting at?

I feel you're being deliberately obtuse, doctor.

I want Mr. Shepard dead.

You're appalled, and understandably so.

But, uh, consider the alternatives.

If Mr. Shepard dies

without regaining consciousness,

your child will be returned to you unharmed.

On the other hand,

if you don't agree with the terms...

Won't pay the ransom, so to speak.

Well, then... JANET: No!

No.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Forbes,

but I'm just as much a victim of this situation

as you, your husband, and the child.

I know a little about your particular discipline, doctor.

Brain surgery is such a delicate matter.

I couldn't.

I can't, I can't.

Come, come.

Don't tell me that you've never lost a patient.

And you'll lose more in the years ahead,

perhaps enough so that Kyle Shepard

will become just a name among names

of the people you tried to save and couldn't.

What if I'm not allowed to operate?

However you accomplish it, doctor,

Mr. Shepard is not to regain consciousness.

One thing more.

You're wondering if you can trust me to keep my word.

I assure you, you can.

I would genuinely hate to harm your child.

But more important, in my profession,

a man cannot afford a credibility gap.

He must keep his promises,

if he wants anybody to believe his threats.

Forbes?

Yes? This is Kavanaugh.

I just talked to Jonathan Kaye in Washington.

His decision is to operate.

Forbes?

Forbes, did you hear me?

Yes, I heard you. I'll be right there.

What am I going to do?

There's only one thing you can do.

Operate.

Are you out of your mind?

He can't operate on Shepard now.

He has to. Do you think Wo Fat

is gonna let him off the hook

because another surgeon takes over?

That's right. Wo Fat said as much.

That's tough.

Kavanaugh...

I want someone I know will try to save Shepard.

You know, you really amaze me.

Do you think he could kill a man?

Do you think he would knowingly let a man die?

Why do you think he told us about the kidnapping

if he didn't intend to do everything to help Shepard?

Now, you have the top neurosurgeon in Hawaii

right here waiting to operate,

and if you don't use him, you're the one who killed Shepard.

Shepard had better live.

Hello. It's for you.

McGarrett.

Yes, Danno.

All right. I'm on my way.

Meet me at the chopper pad.

What's that all about?

Danny Williams got a lot of bits and pieces

from a lot of witnesses.

I'm gonna sift it out with him.

You still got that cockamamie idea

that it's somebody on the inside?

Why not?

Wo Fat seems to be pretty well informed.

He obviously has a pipeline right into this hospital.

Well, young lady, it shouldn't be long now.

We'll soon have you back,

skipper of your own little boat.

And that's the room the gunman fired from?

We found the spent shells.

And according to the witnesses,

my car is about where Kavanaugh's was this morning?

That's right.

Shepard stepped off the chopper

with two of Kavanaugh's men,

then three of them started for the car,

and when they got about here,

Shepard looked up and saw the gunman.

Only he didn't see him. Not from here.

Wouldn't have been possible.

That's right, but why did he stop?

What did he see? What made him panic?

Take Kavanaugh's position over by the car.

I'll be at the hospital.

Yeah?

Forbes is just starting.

Okay. I'll keep this line open.

What is it, McGarrett?

I think I dug up Wo Fat's pipeline.

Who?

Your man Ralston.

Ralston?

Or you.

Take your pick.

All right, all right, now, listen.

When Shepard saw you and Ralston

waiting for him in front of the car, he panicked.

Why? Only one answer.

He recognized one of you as a red agent.

You've really gone into orbit, haven't you, McGarrett?

Okay, then you tell me how Wo Fat knew

that Shepard hadn't talked, that he was unconscious

and that Dr. Forbes was gonna do the operation.

You've had this wing sealed off

since you brought Shepard in here.

Only you and your men have been allowed to come and go.

Well?

Uh, Ralston...

He's been in the far East until six months ago.

Hong Kong, Vietnam, maybe even inside China.

Yeah.

Maybe, just maybe,

Shepard found out that your man Ralston

was working both sides of the street.

Now maybe Shepard would have told you if he had the chance,

but when he stepped off that chopper and recognized Ralston,

he figured he was walking into a trap.

You're guessing.

Yeah, I'm guessing,

but it's worth guessing.

A child's life is at stake.

If... If Ralston is feeding information to Wo Fat,

maybe we can keep that child alive.

I just can't believe any of this.

Come on, Mr. Kavanaugh.

Behind that cloak and dagger of yours, you can...

You can believe anything.

Now, you can't tell me that you don't believe

that Ralston could have sold you out.

Hold it. I'm gonna put him on ice.

Now, wait a minute. I got a better idea.

Get him out of the hospital. Turn him loose.

We'll dog him.

Maybe he'll give us a lead to Forbes' daughter.

There's no question about it.

The Chinese know every move we've made.

How do you figure it?

You, Sanders and Gamble were not briefed on Shepard

until five minutes before we left to pick him up.

So?

There are only two men in the Hawaii office

who had advance information on him.

Myself... and Tyler.

And Tyler drove the car this morning.

Right.

I want you to go back to the office.

Use any excuse you can.

Watch him.

If he makes a phone call, tap in on it.

If he leaves, follow him.

And keep me posted.

Okay, chief.

He's dialing the operator.

Brother, if I could only read lips.

Most fortunate turn of events.

Kavanaugh suspects, of all people,

his own Mr. Tyler, and our Mr. Ralston

has been appointed to watch the gentleman.

Chung has some lunch for you.

You're still not afraid of us, are you?

Would you like some lunch?

Are you sure?

I'm not hungry.

Very well.

You mustn't be frightened.

It's very important not to be.

I knew a little girl once.

It was a long time ago, or so it seems now.

It was a time of great fighting in my country.

I tried to keep her from being afraid,

her mother and I,

and I don't think she was.

Or perhaps, I just want to think so.

Then one day, during the fighting,

she ran into the street and...

Do you play chess?

Sometimes.

Really?

My mother taught me.

Your mother. Now, that's very interesting.

So few women play chess.

They seem to have no grasp for it.

Come, I'll play you a game.

Do you like chess?

When mother lets me win.

You enjoy winning.

Don't you?

It's important.

It's necessary.

Somehow, I... don't always enjoy it.

Matt? Kono.

Fine. And you? Good.

Look, one of your operators just placed

a long-distance phone call from number 819-855.

I want the ticket on this.

Well, how soon?

Well, get on it. I'm on my way to see you.

It's like an oven in here.

Hello?

It's Kono, for you.

Kono? What do you got?

Did you see him? What's he got? What's he got?

Hold it, Kono. Hold it.

Ralston made a call from a public phone,

placed it through the operator.

Long distance? That's what Kono thought,

but they can't find a ticket.

He's, uh... He's with a, uh,

phone company special agent right now.

Kono, listen... He probably wanted assistance

from the operator on a local call.

Phone company doesn't keep a record of that.

Then we're dead.

Maybe not.

Wait a minute. Kono? Kono?

What about a, um...?

A call to a mobile unit,

or a marine call to a boat? What about that?

There'd be a ticket on that, wouldn't there?

Well, get it. Find it. Get on it.

Something's wrong.

There's trouble.

Cardiac arrest.

Looks bad.

He's dead.

Sanders, seal off that room.

Nobody leaves.

I'm sorry.

I did my best.

All right, he's dead.

There's nothing I can do about that,

but I can do the next best thing.

Shepard's body goes into the recovery room.

This entire staff goes through post-operative procedures,

just as if he had survived surgery.

Then I'm gonna get word to Wo Fat through Ralston

that Shepard will be talking before the day's over.

And what about Forbes' child?

Now, McGarrett, stop kidding yourself.

You too, Forbes.

There's not one chance in a thousand

that child is still alive!

That's not true! Doc, please, stop it.

You know that never solved anything.

Yes?

McGarrett, it's for you.

McGarrett.

Yes, Kono. Yes.

Good.

Yeah, give it to me.

Yes?

What name?

Pick up Danno and meet me there.

Yes, I'm on my way.

Ralston made a marine call to a boat

owned by the Island Marine Sales and Rental Company.

It's called the Sea Gypsy. It was rented by a man

by the name of Oren Bates last week.

Now, I need some time.

How much?

Doctor.

If Shepard hadn't died,

how much longer would this operation have taken?

Hour and a half, two hours.

I want those two hours.

Negative.

Now, look!

Now, you listen to me, Mr. Kavanaugh.

If you feed Wo Fat the word,

that Shepard talked,

I'm gonna feed him the word that you lied.

And if you don't think I will, you just try me.

Now, do I get those two hours, or don't I?

All right, two hours. Not a minute longer.

Okay. Now keep this room buttoned up.

You can take it back up.

Put these out right away, please.

Yes, Mr. Ralston.

Glen, I thought you were with the boss.

He asked me to come back here

and put out a few reports for him.

Welcome to the chair corps.

I'll be in the code room.

We were playing chess.

She became thirsty,

so I gave her a gentle sedative.

She feels the strain.

And I so wanted her to win.

Without her knowing it, of course.

Mate.

Take it down a little.

No. No good.

You can take it back up.

Yes?

Just a minute.

It's Ralston.

Don't. I can't stall him.

For god's sake. Two minutes, Forbes.

It's not gonna make any difference.

Hello, Glen.

Just thought I'd check in.

Tyler hasn't budged from the office

and he's made no calls.

How's Shepard?

You can relax now.

Oh?

We all can.

Forbes came through for us.

They just took Shepard into Recovery, and, uh,

Forbes says we'll be able to talk to him tomorrow morning

at the very latest.

I'll be back in the office later.

Wait for me.

I'm sorry, Forbes.

I... I mean it. I'm sorry.

Sanders.

See that Shepard is taken into Recovery

and see that these people are kept under wraps

until I tell you they can be released.

Can we track the area here once more?

Hold it.

Third slip from the end, down here.

That's it.

Hm.

It's difficult to believe that Dr. Forbes

would deliberately gamble with his child's life.

Shepard is going to live.

You and Oren know what to do with the child.

Well, what did you think I was going to do

when we found the child?

You can't. You'll tip our hand.

If Five-0 raids that boat,

Wo Fat will know we used Ralston.

I need Wo Fat on his way back to China

so he'll dismantle those silos.

McGarrett. McGarrett?

Yeah.

You're not going in without me.

All right, Kavanaugh.

Chin Ho will pick you and Dr. Forbes up.

And no matter what happens,

stay out of my way, you understand?

There he is.

Uh, permission to come aboard and inspect the ship?

All right.

What? Coast guard.

Three of them on a boat over there

are making some sort of inspection.

Could be we're next.

What do we do?

Take her in here.

Uh, good afternoon, we're examining vessels

to determine compliance with federal boating laws.

May we come aboard?

I was just gonna cast off.

Safety check. Won't take a minute.

What's in there?

Cold storage?

Uh, yeah.

Mind if we look?

Okay.

Back.

Take it easy. Nobody gets hurt.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Uh, thanks for not moving in till Wo Fat left.

I said I'd wait.

A couple of his friends back there,

but as far as they're concerned,

the coast guard just, um,

stumbled onto a kidnapping.

Coincidence.

H.P.D. will handle them. Now, what about Ralston?

Well, he's my problem.

I'll have to smile at him for a year or so,

and then I'll handle him.

Well, we finally got squared off.

Maybe we can get along together from now on.

Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that.
