Original subtitles

Go, now, go.

Hyah!

I saw it happen before, Frank.

Down in Texas, up in Wyoming.

Everywhere.

They just chewed up the small ranchers.

One thing a cowpoke couldn't ride out.

So they sold their ponies, and give up.

Not you, Hody.

Look at you. You rode it out.

You came here.

So did they.

Hi, Frank.

Put them in the pen, Hody.

Don't you think I know

how you feel about this place?

Hey. Hey, I'm not just a wheeler-dealer

from the mainland.

Frank, I've taken the trouble

to find out things about your people.

Frank, I'm offering you a fair deal, brudda.

Don't you brudda me.

Maybe you not remember, man,

I told you get off my land.

Frank!

I told you to pen the steers.

They'll hold.

Who's boss around here?

And I told you to get.

Frank.

Look, Frank.

Frank, I'm not trying to embarrass you.

But you still owe wages

for last year's roundup to the paniolas.

It's paniolo.

Maybe you'd better stick to cowboy.

All right, all right, Frank,

but that doesn't change the fact.

Maui's changed, man.

You're scrounging to pay taxes

for everybody else's property.

Sell now or this whole thing

will be taken away from you later.

No haole gonna take my land from me.

Nobody. Never.

There is a way.

About those IOU's.

I hear Harry Pawai is holding the big one.

Harry know I'm good for the money.

The note says, "To the bearer on demand."

That means any bearer and $800.

That still don't get you my land.

Yeah, it'll get me a lien and a public auction

and a good chance, Frank,

that you'd get a lot less out of it

than I've offered you.

Harry Pawai never sell you

or nobody my note.

He didn't want to

but Harry's got his own problems.

Let me see that.

Harry Pawai sell my note.

Hody.

Tell him get in his car and drive out of here

or I'll kill him.

You already did.

McGARRETT: All right.

Lay it out for me.

We set up a 24-hour stakeout

at the warehouse here

and six teams of H.P.D.'s finest

with warrants ready to hit them.

They move, we move.

Good. Looks like all the bases have been touched.

All right, gentlemen, thank you. Keep me informed.

Hey, what are you doing up so early?

Going out.

Nice day.

I've got a feeling you're gonna spoil it.

No, not too bad, Danno. Not too bad.

Do you know him?

Yeah.

Uh, Lester, uh, Cronin.

Real estate. Land developer.

Been in the islands about a year.

He's got no problems we know of.

We know of one now.

Last night, a secret New York grand jury indicted Cronin

and three public officials.

Fraud, bribery, the works.

That will mean extradition.

I've touched base with the attorney general on that one.

He's signing the papers now.

Pick him up, Danno.

Frank.

Frank, listen to me.

Go back to the ranch after the airport.

If anybody asks, I was away all day,

at my daughter, Dorothy's.

I'll be back from Honolulu in the morning.

Don't do it this way.

Oh, we go to the Maui police.

We tell the story straight to Chief Kubota.

Ben knows us.

It was an accident.

Chances are, you get short time.

I'm not taking any chances.

The only way I keep my ranch is staying there.

But what happened to Cronin was an accident.

So is this.

Flight 47 from Maui

now disembarking at Gate 12.

Five-0 calling Central Dispatch.

Central Dispatch. Go ahead, Five-0.

This is Williams. Can you patch me through to McGarrett?

Okay, Williams.

Yeah, Jenny? Line 1?

What do you got, Danno?

Not Lester Cronin.

His secretary said he was scheduled to leave

on the 8:45 morning flight and return on the 6.

When is the next flight due in from Maui?

Nine thirty-five. Long wait.

Looks like Cronin is still there.

Better get over to Maui, Danno.

Ask Chief Kubota to have him picked up.

Right, Steve.

Where do you come from?

I was just in town on some business.

Thought I'd drop by.

It's not too late?

Yes.

Come in.

What do you want?

Pa?

Caused you a lot of pain to say that, huh?

On the ranch, you used to call me makua kane.

Pa.

Don't have the same music in it,

like makua kane.

No respect either.

How's my moopuna?

All right.

Too late to see him?

Well, he's asleep.

No, I'm not.

Hey, baby, hey.

Hey, paniolo.

Hey, yeah, paniolo.

What's cooking down on the ranch?

Sheep for luau?

Hey, you ain't no paniolo,

you're a sheep man.

Bang!

Oh! Good shot.

You got me, paniolo.

Where, Mr. Sheep Man?

Right in the hipa chops.

Hey.

Yeah.

When are we going riding again?

It's been so long.

I told you, Bud, your grandfather hasn't time.

When, Grandpa?

Soon.

And we'll go riding up into the hills?

Way, way up.

You say good night to your grandfather, Bud.

Good night.

Aloha.

Grandpa, is it up there, really?

What?

Ka palekani wahi.

Ka palekani wahi.

You bet, brudda.

Why you keep him away from the ranch?

Away from me?

Why you tell him lies?

Ka palekani wahi.

The safe place.

You talk about lies?

That is not a lie.

Worse. Because you believe it yourself.

What do you believe?

I don't believe in fooling a kid

with old-time superstitions.

Or making promises you can't keep.

I'll keep them.

The ranch is his when he's old enough.

When he's old enough,

it won't be there anymore!

Pa,

while there's still a chance to get something,

sell, get out.

What I'm gonna do, huh?

Where I'm gonna go?

Come to Honolulu.

Like you?

A lot of good it did you.

You marry a haole.

You think like him and then he goes out on you.

It doesn't make any difference now.

It's too late.

Not for me.

Pa, the handwriting is on the wall.

How can you turn your back on it?

How you can turn your back on me?

Because I couldn't look at the pain any longer.

Pain.

Who lives without pain?

I'm fighting for my land.

I was born there!

My father was.

His father was!

You were!

They're gonna have to kill me to get my land away from me.

You know something?

I wished you loved me as much.

All right, Pa, what do you want?

I could use some money.

You still owe me.

I know.

You'll get it all back, what I owe you,

and the 800 I need now.

Eight hundred?

Where would I get that kind of money?

You can find a way.

For the ranch.

For the ranch.

After all we've just said.

A simple answer, daughter, yes or no.

No.

If anybody asks,

tell them I was here all day since morning.

Why?

Just say, "My father was here all day."

Is that too much to ask?

All right.

Mahalo.

Steve, no sign of Cronin himself but here's what checks out:

He landed yesterday at the Kahului Airport

on the morning plane.

He was ticketed to leave on the evening flight, as we had it.

And nothing in between?

He rented a car at the airport.

All right, Danno, ask Chief Kubota

to put out an APB on Cronin and the car.

Oh, we had a bit of luck there.

I don't know where he is now

but I do know that yesterday morning,

he was up in a town called Kaeleku

up in the ranch district.

Got a parking violation at 11:04 a.m.

So someone got a parking ticket

outside my saloon.

His name is Lester Cronin.

Yeah, you said it.

I also said, he was seen coming in here.

Well, lots of people come into Harry Pawai's place.

Around 11:00 in the morning?

Look, you're from Five-0.

If I knew anything, wouldn't I tell you?

I don't know.

Head towards the beach.

Williams to, uh, Maui Central.

Go ahead, Williams.

Patch me through to the Chief Kubota.

Go ahead, Danno.

Ben, no sign of the car yet or Cronin.

Right now, we're over Keke Point.

Checked Kaanapali, Napili Bay,

Lahaina, Wailuku, nothing.

How's it look on the ground?

Nothing here yet.

I've had patrol cars out

on Highways 37, 8, 9, and 40.

Kahului Airport to Makena, come up empty.

Getting late, Danno.

You'll be losing light soon.

Uh, looks like we'll have to keep

the copter through tomorrow.

Our best bet for now, Danno.

See you soon.

That's all today.

Hey, Frank,

cleaned up everything like you told me to.

Change, man.

You can't go in town smelling like that,

not even to Harry's.

Harry?

Sure.

You know, Saturday, like always.

What are you gonna say to him?

I'm not gonna say nothing.

Let him do the talking.

Frank, you know what you're doing?

Sure, man.

Sure, brudda.

Hey, brudda.

Hey.

How goes it?

Like the Texarkanans say,

"easy like a rocking-chair horse."

Brudda.

Yeah, go on.

You started floating pretty early today, huh?

Aloha, Harry.

What's new, Harry?

I don't get it, Frank.

What?

I expected you to come busting in here

and break a chair on top of my ka po'o.

What are you talking about?

Cronin was gonna tell you yesterday.

Cronin?

I never seen Cronin.

Well, he headed for your ranch.

Oh, I wasn't at the ranch all day.

I was in Honolulu.

I was at the ranch and nobody showed there.

What was Cronin gonna tell me?

Frank...

It's about that IOU of yours.

I sold it to Cronin.

You what?

I-I couldn't help myself. I...

I needed the cash.

Why you didn't come tell me?

Well, I know how tough it's been on you, and...

You my long-time friend.

Well, like I said, I...

I couldn't help myself.

I needed the cash.

And besides, where were you going to get 800 bucks?

From my daughter.

That's why I went to Honolulu.

Oh.

Now I feel even more worse.

It was bad enough as it was.

I was so ashamed of myself.

I even... I even lied to that haole

that came in asking about Cronin.

What haole?

Name's Williams.

A cop from Five-0.

Nothing here either, Bill.

Let's try inland again.

Wait a minute.

There might be something down there.

I haven't got the fancy equipment they got

over in the medical examiner's lab on Oahu.

But I manage.

Have a look, Mr. McGarrett.

You know, my father gave me that

my first year in medical school.

It still does the job.

Take a look, Danno.

It's tiny slivers,

part bark, part wood, still green.

I found them in the head wound.

Still green?

That can't be part of a late model auto

but it could be part of club.

My thinking too.

I'd say that Lester Cronin was dead

before the car went over the cliff.

How about another talk with Harry Pawai?

Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks, uh, doctor, and take good care

of your microscope.

Harry.

Yeah, but who's that driving with him?

Mr. Kuakua, my name is McGarrett.

I'm with Five-0.

Frank, I'm... I'm... I'm sorry. I...

McGARRETT: Do you know a man by the name of

Lester Cronin?

Yeah, I know him.

He was found dead in his wrecked car.

We thought maybe you could help.

How?

Harry tells me he was on his way here, Friday.

That's the day he died.

Frank, I-I wasn't trying

to make trouble, believe me.

Mr. McGarrett, I never see Cronin.

I'm not at the ranch all day Friday.

Hody.

Yeah, Frank?

Cronin here Friday?

No.

Harry also said that he was, uh,

trying to buy this ranch.

Oh, he not the only one.

I got plenty offers.

But I understand he was pressing.

My land is not for sale.

I tell him so.

I tell everybody.

It's no sale!

Cronin had a way of, uh, forcing sales.

Now, take that IOU of yours.

What are you getting at?

Why, I was just checking information I've been given.

Hody tell you, he's not here Friday.

Well, then you didn't see him?

Like I say, I'm not at the ranch all day Friday.

Where on Maui were you?

No place on Maui.

I go Honolulu, visit my daughter.

Anything you want to add?

No, sir.

Frank, no hard feelings.

Mr. Kuakua.

Yeah?

Cronin was found with his personal belongings intact.

His wallet, watch and his ring.

The only thing missing was a piece of paper

he started out with, your IOU.

McGARRETT: No, we're just checking his whereabouts

last Friday, Mrs. Owens.

I told you, he was here.

In this house? All day.

We hadn't seen each other in a long time.

We sat around, had beer.

Talked.

At night, we watched the TV.

I can tell you the name of the movie.

Any of your neighbors drop in?

No. Why are you giving me a hard time?

I don't mean to give you a hard time, Mrs. Owens.

Well, you are.

I'm sorry.

You keep asking me

the same questions about my father

but you won't tell me why.

Steve. Come in, Danno.

You say you work at the, uh, coffee shop

at the Ilikai?

You also said Friday was your day off.

Well, it... It's...

It's not my regular day off.

But when my father came here early that day,

I... I phoned the hotel and told them

I was staying out.

Like I told you, Mr. McGarrett,

I hadn't seen my father in a long time.

According to our information and your time card,

you checked in at 8:55 a.m.

and then out at 5:10 p.m. Friday.

Your father wasn't here at all Friday,

was he, Mrs. Owens?

I'll radio Maui to pick him up.

Yeah, and tell Ben we're on our way.

Why did you lie, Mrs. Owens?

I don't know.

He's my father.

I never did much for him. I...

I wanted to do that.

You promised tutu kane. I heard you.

But you broke it. You told on him.

But I couldn't help it, Bud. You could. You could.

It's your fault.

Pa?

Makua kane.

Frank, will you listen to me?

Just once, will you listen to me?

You haven't even got a chance.

Nobody cares.

Those hills belong to Lio Kane and me.

This horse is over 17 years old.

Goodbye, old friend.

Frank, there ain't no place to go no more.

Not even up there.

They'll hunt you down.

What you got with you, two days' food

and an old cutting horse?

You crazy old coot.

Frank.

Hey, Frank!

Frank.

I'm sorry.

You are, huh?

Kind of reminds me of a story Frank tells.

The one about the missionary and the Hawaiian.

The missionary says

to the Hawaiian, he says... He said,

"Kneel, pray, and keep your eye on heaven."

And by the time the Hawaiian looks down,

his land is gone.

Do you suppose that that missionary was sorry too?

Where have you been, Hody?

Oh, I've just been around, Ben,

until I phoned you.

Harry, here, he...

Didn't even charge me for the phone call.

For old time's sake, eh, brudda?

Where's Frank?

Hody, we checked the ranch.

His horse is gone,

a rifle's missing from the gun rack.

You said you had something to tell me.

Yeah.

Okay.

Mr. McGarrett too.

I would have told Harry while we was waiting

but who knows

what Harry believes in these days.

Frank didn't kill Cronin.

Didn't even hit him.

Frank, he...

Grabbed the IOU and shoved Cronin.

Cronin fell and bashed his head

on a tree stump.

Accident.

Why didn't you two come to me, Hody?

I could have helped you.

Well, I figured, Ben.

But you know, Frank, he...

His mind set like a mule.

And I... I don't have to tell you

how he felt about the ranch.

He didn't want to take any chances

so I just went along.

You know that makes you an accessory, Hody.

I can't help that.

You can't turn your back on a friend.

Let's go, Ben.

Have to wait till morning, Steve.

Okay. Start out first thing.

It's rough up there. Even jeeps couldn't make it.

I want to take him alive.

Can you get me a few good horsemen?

Sure.

I need a tracker.

I'll get you the best, Charlie Latea.

You're sure going to a lot of trouble

to find out where Frank is.

All you have to do is ask me. I...

I know where he's headed.

Where, Hody? Where is he?

Ka palekani wahi.

He rode up in there.

All right, gentlemen,

I want something clearly understood.

Frank Kuakua is not a killer.

I want him alive.

He's got a rifle with him, right?

What if he starts shooting?

What are we supposed to do?

McGARRETT: We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Okay, Charlie.

Tracks stop here.

Yeah.

Looks like he took to the shelf.

Yeah, that old man sure knows what he's doing.

Danno? Danno, can you read me?

McGARRETT: We lost him for the time being so keep searching.

Will do.

A little treat for you, kane, huh?

As a true friend,

I take joy in your pleasure.

Down there, Bill.

Danno, you read me?

Yeah. I spotted Frank Kuakua

but by the time we got down,

I lost him in Kemo Gorge.

McGARRETT: Well, you pinpointed the area anyway. Thanks, Danno.

Charlie, the shortest way to Kemo Gorge.

Not short enough.

By the time we get there,

pick up his tracks,

it'll be dark.

Don't strain your eyes looking for a campfire.

That old man knows what he's doing.

Yeah.

He camped there last.

Looks like his horse has gone lame.

He can't get far now.

Mahalo.

Aloha.

McGARRETT: Joe, stick with the horses. We'll go on foot from here.

McGARRETT: Frank!

Hold your fire.

McGARRETT: Danno, move out. I could nail him from here.

No, Danno. I said, move out.

We'll handle this without you.

Moving out.

Let's go.

Frank, listen to me, please.

I'm not speaking to you as a cop.

I'm not just looking to take you in.

I understand how it is with you.

I understand how it is with your people.

Now, I know it's your land.

I feel ashamed of what's being done here

in the name of progress

but we can't turn back the clock.

Frank, I can't promise you

that you can keep your ranch

or any part of it.

But I can promise you a fair trial and a...

A recommendation for... For leniency.

You have a daughter

and a grandson who love you.

You have so much to live for.

But what you're looking for up here, Frank, it's gone.

It's pau.

Frank, will you come down with me?

Put your rifle down.

Please, come down.

Do you hear me?

I hear you.

McGARRETT: Are you coming?

I'm coming.

McGARRETT: Hold your fire!

You all right?

He finally made it.

Ka palekani wahi.
