Hello, Jase.

Vince. Yeah, Vince.

How did you, uh... How did I find you?

Luck. Pure luck.

It's been a bad winter in Seattle.

I thought I'd split.

You know, just kind of find

a nice, warm part of the world.

You know, to thaw out.

I wasn't even thinking how you used to live here.

Then yesterday I'm stopped by a red light at Nuuana,

and I... look up...

and who should be crossing the street,

right in front of the car?

My old friend, Jase.

Six years, I've been looking for you everywhere.

Suddenly there you were.

Could I sit down?

Oh. Yeah, Vince.

You got to hear this.

It's a wild story.

I never got any of the dough.

Madge got it all.

Oh, you're right.

I was, uh... stupid.

I was wrong. Uh...

I shouldn't have listened to Madge.

I know that.

OH, she... She really had me going.

She told me she loved me.

She was just using me

to double-cross you and the others.

You never were very bright, Jase.

Yeah.

You, uh... You kill me,

you're gonna get nothing, Vince.

Madge got everything. Every dime.

Madge.

She's the one you want.

Uh-uh.

Madge.

Bemis.

The phone. I gotta use the phone. Oh.

What happened to you...? Give me a dime.

What happened to you?

Give me a dime.

Wh... What happened to you?

You're the landlord.

You gotta have a dime.

Oh. All right. All right.

Operator.

Operator. Operator,

give me Hawaii Five-0, fast.

This is an emergency.

McGARRETT: Yes, this is McGarrett. Hello?

Hello?

Operator.

Operator...

I want to make a long-distance phone call to...

Is anything wrong, sir?

Hello? Sir?

Mr. McGarrett? Yeah. That's right.

I'm Al Bemis, the landlord.

I... I'm the one that called you.

Tell me what happened.

I told you on the phone.

Well, uh, tell me again, Mr. Bemis.

Well, like I said...

this guy in number 25...

Doesn't he have a name?

Who knows?

Well, what name did he register under?

Register?

A place like this? You got to be kidding me.

It's a state law.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Well, like I told you on the phone,

this guy in 25, he comes stumbling up to me,

and he's got blood all over the front of his shirt.

Hear any shots?

I don't hear nothing in this place.

Then he hung up on you, and he got the operator again,

and said he wanted to call long distance.

Danno. To where? Well, I didn't hear that,

'cause that's when I ducked into my room to call you.

Where's his room?

I-I'll show you. Right... Second room on the left.

Right over there.

What do you got, Steve?

So far, a nameless rummy trying to make a phone call.

He might bleed to death.

H.P.D. has got a half-a-dozen cars

cruising the neighborhood looking for him.

Check the clothes.

Looks like he lost a lot of blood.

Steve.

Could have gone right through him.

Mark it for identification and get it down to Ballistics.

And, Kono, better get a lab crew over here.

Maybe we can raise some fingerprints.

It'll tell us something.

Get an APB out on the guy.

That manager, or landlord... Whatever he is

out there will give you a description.

And alert all emergency hospitals or, uh...

Steve.

Any place the guy can get himself patched up.

Operator... long distance.

Seattle.

T-t-talk to... Toomey Walsh.

Toomey.

T-O-O-M-E-Y W-A-L-S-H.

No, I don't know the number.

Or the address.

Get it for me, will you?

Yeah, I'll hold on.

But hurry.

Hundreds, 50s, 20s, tens.

Four-thousand nine-hundred and twenty bucks worth.

And he didn't have a dime for a ph... For a phone call.

Look at these tens.

Silver certificate.

In fact, they all are.

Government withdrew them from circulation.

Yeah, at least, uh, four or five years ago.

Danno, check out this, uh, currency with the FBI.

I have a hunch it's running a temperature.

Yeah.

Yeah, operator, that's the guy.

Will you call it for me...

and ring me back?

Jase.

Hey. Hey, Jase?

Oh, my...

Oh. Let me see. No.

W-what happened? Never mind.

You need a doctor!

No. Oh.

No doctor.

Listen... I got...

Listen, I gotta... I gotta talk to this guy... Mm-hm.

In Seattle.

No, please, just let me get the doctor.

Shut up and listen.

After I talk to this guy in Seattle...

I'm gonna leave you here.

And I want you to forget everything you heard.

Understand?

Oh, please, let me... Understand?

I don't want to make any trouble for you, Lila.

Not you.

Hello.

Toomey? Toomey Walsh?

This is Jase.

Jase Gorman.

Jase? Yeah.

Toomey, you gotta listen to me.

I'm gonna tell you something...

and you gotta believe me.

McGARRETT: After the guy left the rooming house,

within a half an hour, H.P.D. had cruised every street

within a two-mile radius.

The guy lost a lot of blood, so if he's on foot,

he's got to be someplace within this area.

Oh, Steve... H.P.D. had just come up

with a make on the guy from fingerprints.

Hm. Jase Gorman.

Yeah. Born and raised here.

Convicted in Honolulu ten years ago for manslaughter.

Served three years, Oahu State,

and was given a pardon for saving the life of a guard

some other cons cornered, were gonna kill.

He had left the islands as soon as he made the street,

and took a job in Seattle.

That it? That's it.

Okay, you and Kono see if you can turn up

any friends he might have had.

If he's still alive,

he must be holed up with somebody he can trust.

Steve? Yeah?

Remember the, uh, Bannister case

in Seattle about six years ago?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, Governor Bannister's son...

He was, uh, kidnapped and murdered.

And nobody knew he was dead

until after the governor had paid $500,000 for his release.

McGARRETT: Were these the serial numbers of the Bannister ransom?

Right. Case was never closed,

kidnappers never found,

and none of the ransom money ever recovered.

Until now.

What do you mean?

That dough we found under the mattress

is part of it.

Wow.

Toomey... I want you to hit him hard.

Hit him real good.

Be seeing you, Lila.

No. No.

Now, don't go getting soft on me, Lila.

Look, I can't let you go like this. I can't let you...

You heard what I told Toomey.

The cops find me here,

you'll be up to your neck in real trouble.

I don't care about that.

Well, I care. Now, get out of my way.

No, please.

Please. Lila.

Jase! Jase!

Lew? Toomey.

Guess who I just got a telephone call from.

Jase.

Ha, you heard me. Jase Gorman.

Now, you pack a bag and get here as quick as you can.

Now, we've got some unfinished business to take care of...

in Hawaii.

What about reissuing that list of serial numbers

to the banks? Maybe later.

Right now, let's see if we can get some faster action.

Kono, Chin, get on the phone to every bank in Oahu.

Tell 'em to be on the lookout

for any $10 silver certificates.

What about the 100s, 50s, and 20s?

Silver certificates only came in 10, 5s, and 1s.

Were there any 5s and 1s in the Bannister ransom?

No.

Okay, gentlemen, get on it.

Danno, come with me.

You?

Yes.

You made a phone call.

And then you tried to leave, and you caved in.

Yeah, I remember.

Now, listen...

you've gotta let me get you a doctor.

Doctor means cops.

I ain't talking to cops

till Toomey and Lew take care of Vince and Madge.

I know this guy who's a doctor.

I mean, h-h-he was a doctor.

A-and he would fix you up, and he... He won't

ask any questions.

And what's his price for not asking questions?

Oh, Jase.

Forget it.

I can get money from somewhere to pay that man...

I said forget it.

It's not too late.

I could get him. He could fix you up.

And then...

Well, we could go away together somewhere.

Stop it.

Stop dreaming.

Get me a drink. I don't have any...

That'll do it. Just get me a drink, and I'll go.

I told you, I don't have anything.

Then go get something.

Oh, Jase.

Please, Lila.

Please.

Boy... that Madge... Whoever she is

she sure must have had you drooling to talk you into...

Will you shut up... and go get me a bottle?

Okay.

Yeah, okay, I'll go get you something.

Lila...

Whatever happened?

How come...?

How come you and me, we...

We could never...

I don't know.

It was just one of...

One of those things, I guess.

I'm sorry.

Okay, so the rummy's name was Gorman. So what?

I still don't know any more about him

than what I already told you.

I never saw him with nobody.

Never said a word to him before last night.

To me, he was just a... A tosspot flopping in number 25. Period.

Any idea where he did his drinking?

Oh, in his room probably.

That's where most of 'em do.

Hey.

I... I just remembered something.

I saw the guy on the street once,

maybe a week ago, maybe longer. I don't know.

But anyway, he was coming out

of one of those dives on the next block.

I don't remember the name of it, but the...

The bartender's name is, uh...

Yeah, I'm Oliver.

McGarrett, Five-0. This is Danny Williams.

Can I pour you fellows anything?

On the house. No, thanks.

Do you recognize this man?

What do you want him for?

Do you recognize him, or don't you?

Comes in now and then.

Alone?

Yeah. Sits on that corner table over there.

Doesn't talk to anybody except...

Except who?

Look, fellas,

I don't want to make any trouble for anybody.

Well, give me a for instance.

Lila.

Lila?

Lila Daniels. She works here... nights.

She a B-girl?

B-girl?

Look, fellas... please.

I run a respectable joint.

Does she hustle drinks?

Well, um... but she never hustled this guy.

She'd sit and talk with him sometimes

when things were slow.

But she never drank with him.

I asked her about it once.

And?

She just said that she knew him from way back.

That they were old friends.

Where do we find her?

She comes to work at 7.

Before 7...

where do we find her, Mr. Oliver?

She lives on Bailey Street.

3334.

Mahalo.

You got to hand it to Vince. You really do.

Sitting back for... six years.

Watching us sweat and scramble

hunting for Madge and Jase.

Hey, you remember... a time

when we were sure we had Madge staked out in Denver?

And then, bang!

All of a sudden, she wasn't there anymore.

Vince must've tipped her.

Sure, he did.

A lot of things add up now.

Things we were too stupid to see.

Six years.

Man, oh, man, Vince must have busted a gut

trying to keep from laughing out loud.

Do you know where he's staying in Honolulu?

Ah, you know Vince.

He always liked to keep in touch.

Don't bury it. I'll be using it tonight.

Who is it?

Valet.

Just a minute.

You have some cleaning, ma'am?

Yes. I'd like them back as soon as possible, please.

Yes, ma'am. Thank you.

Mm-hm.

Vince?

Hi. Hey, baby.

Any news?

No.

Anything on the radio or the tube?

No.

Fix me a drink, will you?

Mm-hm.

It's kind of like waiting for the other shoe to drop,

isn't it?

Cockroach roost he was living in,

it'll take 'em weeks to find his body.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm not worried about it.

Not worried about it at all.

I just wish it were all over.

Just a little patience.

Do me a favor. Just one little favor.

Yeah?

Don't ever say that to me again...

because I've been patient for almost six years now.

I have been very patient and very scared.

Madge, come on, take it easy, will you?

I know how it's been.

No, you don't.

You don't know how it's been at all.

You haven't been hiding out for six years.

You haven't gone to bed at night

dreaming about the money you couldn't spend.

And you haven't wakened in the morning,

and wondering if today was the day

that Lew and Toomey would find you and maybe kill you.

Come here, will you?

Not now.

All right, look, I know it hasn't been easy.

But we're walking away with the whole bundle

instead of splitting it with Toomey, Lew or Jase.

That's worth it, isn't it?

Ask me when I've spent some of it.

Madge! You just wait a minute.

Now, we both agreed we're gonna give this dough

some time to cool off, didn't we?

Yes.

All right, I... I told you

it would take five or six years, didn't I? Huh?

Yes.

Look, we're here for some fun, remember?

Ha, ha, ha.

You need a drink.

Oh, I'm sorry, Vince.

It's just...

running into Jase like that. It was scary.

That was beautiful.

It was like an answer to a prayer.

They're gonna find his body,

they're gonna discover the money in the room,

and they're gonna think

that that's all that's left of the Bannister dough.

You hope.

No, I know.

I know. You give a cop... any cop

half a reason to... close a sticky file,

and they'll slam that file shut so fast

it'll wake half the people in the next county.

I'll drink to that.

There's still Lew and Toomey.

Toomey and Lew stopped looking for you and Jase long ago.

When they read the paper, they're gonna come

to the same conclusion the cops did.

Come on, give me a little smile, will you?

Check the back, Danno.

Steve.

It's Gorman.

Yeah.

There's a pulse. Get an ambulance.

Gorman.

Gorman.

Gorman?

Who are you?

McGarrett, Five-0. Who shot you, Gorman?

Lila get back with that bottle?

Gorman, who shot you?

Nobody you'd know.

Why did you hang up on me this morning?

I had a better idea how to take care of...

Vince and Madge.

Vince and Madge? Who are Vince and Madge?

McGarrett... Lila...

She didn't know anything about this.

Who are Vince and Madge?

Vince is smart.

Real smart.

He might even beat that rap on the Bannister kid.

Him and Madge won't get away from Toomey and Lew.

Dead?

Yeah.

Did you get anything out of him?

Not much.

But I have a feeling that unless we move fast,

we're going to have a couple more murders on our hands.

Problem is...

I don't know who's gonna kill who...

or why.

Yeah, and I want you to request the medical examiner

and H.P.D. Homicide to list, uh, Gorman as a John Doe.

Right.

No address, no cause of death.

I want an airtight lid on this.

And no mention of the rooming house he stayed in either.

If the guy who shot Gorman...

finds out he lived long enough to get out of there and talk,

he won't be around long.

Kono there?

Yeah, Steve.

I requested an APB on Lila Daniels.

Get down to that gin mill where she works

and stake it out, in case she turns up there.

Maybe she can tell us

who, uh, Vince and Madge, and Toomey and Lew are.

On my way, Steve.

Danno... you wait here for the lab crew.

Yeah?

Oliver?

Who's this?

I-it's Lila.

Oh, hi.

Hey, look, Oliver, I-I... I've got to see you right away.

See me?

Yeah, yeah, talk to you.

But... But I can't come to your place.

Why not?

The police might be watching.

Police?

Are you in some sort of trouble?

Real. What?

Look... not on the phone, huh?

Where are you?

Will you come?

Hey, look, Oliver. Oliver, I've gotta talk to somebody.

You're the only person that I can trust.

Oliver?

Okay, Lila.

All right. Now, look, will you please be very careful,

make sure you're not being followed?

Sure.

Okay, look, I'm at the Ruga Market parking lot,

at Alahala and 12th Street.

Will you please hurry?

Look, I didn't do anything!

Let me go!

Lila Daniels?

Oliver told you where to find me, didn't he?

"Well, if you ever need a favor, just look me up."

That's what he told me. Lousy pig.

Okay, Kono.

Sit down. We'll talk about it.

Hold it right there, Lila.

After Jase Gorman picked up the, uh, ransom money,

he turned it over to this Madge woman?

Yes.

And he never mentioned her last name

on the phone to Toomey Walsh?

No.

How about Vince's?

And he never mentioned their last names to you

at any other time?

Never.

You sure, Lila?

Well, yes.

Then, so far as you know...

the five people involved

in the kidnapping and murder of that boy

were Jase Gorman, Toomey Walsh, someone named Kelso,

and Vince and Madge,

whose last names you don't know?

That's right.

All right.

All right.

Uh... go ahead.

Well, Jase, uh, thought that he and Madge

were double-crossing the rest of the gang.

But what he didn't know is that Vince and Madge

were playing him for a patsy.

They kept the money.

And he told this to Toomey Walsh on the phone?

Poor, stupid jerk.

Jenny, would you have Kono and Chin come in, please?

Listen, I want to tell you something.

Jase was a good man.

I mean, I know that sounds ridiculous

after what I just told you, but...

Well, he... He wasn't bad.

I-i-it was just that he was...

He was a sucker for anything in a skirt.

Except you.

Except me.

And you knew nothing about this kidnapping and murder,

or this double cross, until last night?

No.

Well, I-I mean... I knew that there was

something wrong with Jase

when I saw him again after all those years.

I mean... you could just tell. He...

He had a look in his eyes like...

Like he was scared.

And well, I mean, I guess I knew that he was on the lam, but...

he never said anything.

And you never asked?

Oh, no.

Why is that, Lila?

Well, if... If I'd asked him something like that...

I never would have seen him again.

And you didn't want that, I suppose?

Because you were in love with him?

Everybody's got something wrong with them.

Yeah. Come in.

Would you wait outside for us, please?

Anything?

Yeah.

Couple of guys named, uh, Toomey Walsh and Kelso

are on their way in from Seattle

to kill a Vince and a Madge.

No last names. That's all I've got.

So get on the phone, call the airlines.

Ask 'em to check their passenger list

on any Seattle-to-Honolulu flight

they've had since early this morning.

It's about time. Come on, let's get going.

Okay. Just give me about, oh,

five minutes to comb my hair

and straighten up a little, okay?

Snap it up, will you?

All right.

Madge!

What?

Come in here.

What?

Where'd you get this?

In the jacket I sent to the cleaners.

It was in the pocket, and I took it. Why?

You spend any of it?

And what if I did?

This is part of the stuff I left in Jase's room.

Well, how was I supposed to know?

Why don't you ask?

Because I'm sick and tired of asking you

for every nickel I spend.

Look, how much did you spend?

Twenty-five dollars, for these.

Where'd you buy...? Oh, for crying out loud, Vince.

The money's cold.

It's been over six years.

You told me that yourself.

Now, stop worrying.

Okay.

All right. Look, uh...

if you're gonna have a nervous breakdown

every time we spend some of this money,

let's just forget it.

I'll tell you what, we'll just paste it end-to-end

and use it in the bathroom.

All right, all right, well, forget it.

There's no harm done.

From now on, we keep that money on ice

till we get out of the country.

You understand?

Yes, I understand.

You're sure?

Okay. Thanks.

No Walsh, no Kelso

on any Seattle-Honolulu flight so far.

All right.

All right.

Who haven't we heard from so far?

All but one. Pacific Airways.

It's just possible

they may be traveling under aliases.

So far as we know, Danno.

There's no warrant out on either one of them.

They're both clean.

But... if you're right,

and they are traveling under aliases,

we're really in trouble.

Yeah, Jenny?

Yeah, good. Good. Pacific Airways.

Yeah, hello.

Yes?

They are?

A.T. Walsh and L. Kelso

are on the passenger list of 502?

What?

Are you sure?

All right.

Yeah, thanks very much.

What's wrong?

Flight 502 arrived on time, 2:30.

That was 10 minutes ago.

Look, I know you're flying blind.

If I had a description, I'd give it to you.

If you find one of the stewardesses from the flight,

let me know, will you, please?

Okay. Thank you.

Anything?

Kono and Chin had no luck

with the cab and rental companies.

Same thing with airport security.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Two guys, and the only thing we know about them

is that their names are Walsh and Kelso.

What time do you have, Danno?

Two fifty-five.

Well, that means the plane

has been on the ground for 25 minutes.

If they had only hand luggage,

they could be long gone.

Get it.

Yeah, Jenny?

Thank you.

Yes, Mr. Nolan?

Uh, could you hang on a minute, please?

Manager of the Waikiki branch, First Hawaiian Bank.

About a deposit he just got.

Four $10 silver certificates.

No, no. Put him on speaker.

Mr. Nolan, this is McGarrett.

Could you give us the details, please?

That's all the luggage we have.

If you gentlemen are checking in,

just leave your car keys with me.

The desk will inform me of your room number.

You check us in.

Mr. Vincent Ryan's room, please.

It was a woman who made the purchase.

Just today, in fact. Probably a hotel guest.

The money was deposited by the man who runs the gift shop

in the Hawaiian Village Hotel.

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Nolan.

It's a slim one, but let's try it.

Anything?

Walsh rented a car from the Airlines U-Drive.

I got the license number. You want an APB put out?

We may not need it. Let's go.

Mr. Morgan and Mr. Hollister?

That's right.

Welcome to the Hawaiian Village Hotel.

Room 319, please.

There's a Mr. And Mrs. Vincent Ryan

registered here, but there was no answer.

Check on that rented car

with the parking lot attendant.

Put 'em on the bed.

Thank you.

I'm gonna try them again.

Vince or Madge?

Yeah. That's right.

Is that all? No last name?

No. No last names.

Will you hurry, please? It's urgent.

Yes, sir.

Hello?

Hey, Vince.

Who's this?

Toomey.

I bet you're surprised, huh?

Yeah.

Where are you calling from?

Right here.

In Honolulu?

In the hotel.

I got to thinking after I got your postcard,

I'd better get over there, get some sun...

Vince, you want a drink?

Before old Vince soaks it all up.

Who is it?

Toomey. Toomey Walsh.

Hey, Vince?

Yeah. Sure.

How about getting together for a drink?

Great.

Now, what's your room number?

Ten thirty-one.: Why did you tell him?

Be right up.

Uh, Toomey, wait a minute, will you?

I just got in.

Give me a few minutes to clean up, will you?

Sure, Vince. No hurry.

Oh, by the way... Lew sends his regards.

If you think Toomey Walsh is here for a vacation,

you've got rocks in your head.

I tell you, he knows something.

And I'll tell you something else,

five will get you ten Lew Kelso's in town.

All right, all right.

Let's say Toomey's not here for a tan.

Lew's with him.

In that case, we better deal with 'em right here and now.

Or for the rest of our lives, we'll be running and hiding.

Here, you take this.

You wait for 'em in the bedroom.

There's a Vincent Ryan, Seattle.

Could be it.

Yeah.

Anything?

Yeah. The car is here.

Kelso and Walsh are in room 319.

Okay. Check them out.

We've got a Vincent Ryan in 1031.

Hold that elevator.

Come on, children. Hurry up. Come on.

I really don't know why we had to change rooms.

I was happy with the other one.

I don't care if your mother did stay here.

Oh, Jen, where's your little case?

Oh, you're impossible. Just a minute.

Come on.

If Toomey's telling the truth, no sweat.

If he's looking for trouble...

let's see that he finds it.

Right with you, Toomey.

Hey. Hey!

Hey, what is this?! Who are you guys?

Spread 'em. Spread 'em!

Hold it! Take them, Kono, Chin.

McGARRETT: Open up!

Hold it!
