Souvenir, huh?

Yeah, it's real old.

The fella I bought it from said maybe 400 or 500 years.

I just wouldn't count on that if I were you.

You enjoy yourself, corporal.

Thanks.

Next.

Marine corporal, just returned from Vietnam,

R and R.

Still had his travel orders

and his airplane ticket stub in his pocket.

Blanks!

They are blanks!

Leo Price came up with a bright idea

to smuggle something in.

But the plane came from Saigon.

Civilian plane, had some soldiers on it,

all he had to do was buy a ticket.

But first, he had to forge travel orders and dog tags

and get from Macao to Saigon.

He sure went to a lot of trouble.

Not enough.

Somebody was waiting for him on this end.

I thought... I knew he had the plates.

But obviously he did not, Mr. Madrid.

Where are the plates, Mr. Madrid?

Precisely!

Gentlemen, 10 weeks ago another nation

succeeded in creating a set of perfect plates.

And this time, it's our currency that's under attack

by the government of Peking.

It's brutally simple.

They'll flood the international market

with counterfeit $20 bills.

Now, as long as we cannot identify them as counterfeit,

we have no other choice but to honor them.

You said that the plates were stolen in Nanking.

Commander Nicholson has followed the tortuous path

the plates have taken since Nanking.

Well, it's, uh, been a pretty bloody path

all the way across most of Southeast Asia.

Somehow the plates reached Macao.

Nine days ago, Steve. I was there.

Jua Perdeda had the plates,

Leo Price killed him,

and the plates vanished again.

So did Leo Price until today,

and the rest you know.

One million, two-hundred and fifty thousand.

That's what the Russians are offering.

Then my government will pay one million and a half.

We must have those plates.

There's no question about it.

We know they're due to arrive here.

But we don't know how, we don't know where,

we don't know when.

But this much we do know:

The bees are all gathering.

Good news?

The news we've been waiting for.

Mikhail Ivanovich Toptegan.

He's known as Misha.

He'll be arriving representing the Soviet Union.

And Wo Fat, Chinese People's Republic.

Who was the last one to have the plates?

She was.

Nicole Fleming.

I suppose there are arrangements to be made,

personal effects.

Personal effects?

Is that why you came here, Miss Fleming?

Leo Price had a number of dubious achievements

in his life, but he didn't have a sister.

You told us to go over Leo Price's effects.

I thought it was a waste of time.

But if that's counterfeit, it's a beauty.

It appears that I misunderstood

what you told me in Peking

when you denied the existence of the plates.

Yes, it's...

It's an extraordinary piece of work.

It's chanced to find its way into my hands.

I have already notified

the Kremlin of their existence,

so that should satisfy your first question.

Conceded, the plates exist.

Steve, Farlow cracked the code

and Chin translated it from Chinese.

We still haven't got much, though, just a piece,

a couple of word fragments. Sounds like, um,

Z-I-L-M-A.

Ah, but you're too late.

Whatever it is, I guess they already took it off.

Who took it off? MAN: Commander Nicholson,

your Navy intelligence officer.

His launch stopped us at the breakwater.

You had better talk to Zagore, the third engineer.

He is the one Commander Nicholson wanted to see.

Zagore?

That's him.

Nicholson's got the plates.

Looks like he's going in business for himself.

Every cop in the western world

must be looking for me right now.

And now, my dear Misha, you were saying?

I was saying $2 million.

Why, Steve?

I wanna know why.

Nicholson was working on the case in Macao

when the plates were there.

That's when he must have gotten the idea.

I know that, Steve, but I wanna know why!

How do I know why? Greed, avarice?

All I know is that's where he met Nicole Fleming.

You were at the academy with him.

You knew him well.

Why couldn't you have anticipated it, Steve?

That man was screened and tested, loyal for years.

And now we discover he had a price after all.

Heh. A woman.

Are you finished?

No, I am not finished.

Now, he knew he'd be discovered.

He knew we'd comb this island

and close it tight around him.

There was no way for him to avoid a chase.

Exactly. Exactly.

But he didn't plan it that way.

After Wo Fat found out how the plates were arriving,

and Nicholson knew that we would probably crack it too,

he had no choice.

No choice?

Do you realize that if his plan hadn't been interrupted...?

It would have worked his way anyway.

And no one would have known about his part in it.

The president is waiting for word right now.

Where do we go from here?

I'm gonna press them hard, all of them.

They don't trust each other, none of them.

And that can be our most effective weapon.

Hello. Yes.

Commander Nicholson on the phone, sir.

This is Jonathan Kay speaking.

Hello, Nicholson.

I'll make this fast, gentlemen.

I have the plates, and the price is $2 million

and amnesty.

No bargaining, please.

I want a simple yes or no now.

The answer is yes. $2 million and amnesty.

Amnesty?

When can we have them?

You'll hear from me later.

Yes, Steve, amnesty.

My first duty is to bring those plates

back to Washington,

and I'll deal with the devil if I have to.

She just sits there,

doesn't talk to anyone,

like she's waiting for something to happen.

What about the Russian?

He hasn't been around today.

They must have done all their talking last night.

You waiting for Ron?

I beg your pardon?

Commander Nicholson, USN.

You remember him, from Macao?

Sorry.

He's running pretty hard now.

But that was supposed to be your job, wasn't it?

Mr. McGarrett, I do not have a job.

No, not anymore.

Commander Nicholson is doing it all by himself.

Amnesty plus $2 million.

You know something?

You'll never see a nickel.

I appreciate your concern.

I really do.

Oh, it's nothing.

Your message said that it was urgent, Mr. Madrid.

It is.

I know who has the plates.

You do?

And of course, you would be willing

to share this knowledge for a price.

You've always been very fair with me.

My information's always been reliable.

But not necessarily valuable.

But this time it is.

I'll tell you.

Pay me what it's worth.

It is worth nothing, Mr. Madrid.

I already know

that Commander Nicholson has the plates.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

Poor Mr. Madrid.

Always too little, always too late.

But you don't know where the plates are.

You don't know where Nicholson is.

Do you?

No, but, uh... But I know... Mr. Madrid,

you must realize that men of your ilk

are fortunate to survive.

But my patience is not endless.

But you need me.

Most assuredly, sir, I do not.

And I suggest that you never attempt

to contact me again.

It could prove to be very painful.

Here you are, sir.

Ah, yes,

there are many things I shall miss here

after I've gone home.

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.

Shouldn't I be?

That depends.

There is a complication.

It seems the Americans have matched your offer,

2 million plus amnesty

for Commander Nicholson.

Amnesty?

Two million plus 500,000.

Dear Misha,

I knew you would rise to the challenge.

Dear Nicole,

I now consider the bidding closed,

and your commitment a binding one.

Do we understand each other?

You have no right to do this to me.

You... You have no right to do this to me.

I wasn't doing anything.

You didn't catch me doing anything.

Sit down, Mr. Madrid.

I was just watching. That's all I was doing.

It's a public place. It's not a crime.

Sit down, Mr. Madrid.

Okay, Chin.

Mr. Madrid, you're a little man.

You're playing a game

that's too big and too fast for you.

Now, in Macao, you were on the inside.

All that has changed.

Nobody needs you here.

You're just a small nuisance.

A hurdle in everybody's way.

Look here, McGarrett... I'm not finished.

Now, they're gonna run right over you.

I'm surprised they haven't done it already.

Maybe it won't be as easy to get rid of me as you think.

Oh? Then they've tried?

Who? Wo Fat?

Now, we know you were in contact with him in Pinang.

We know he's here in Hawaii.

Where is he, Mr. Madrid?

I have no association with that man at all.

None.

You mean, not anymore.

All right.

I have a suggestion for you.

Be careful, very careful,

because Wo Fat does not like

to leave loose ends walking around.

He doesn't need anything from me at all.

Nothing.

As a matter of fact, he...

I'm told, never mind by whom,

that Wo Fat doesn't need anything from anybody.

He's, uh, very confident.

Goodbye, Mr. Madrid.

Hello.

Who?

It's for you.

Thank you.

Hello.

Keep an eye on the girl,

I'm going to see if I can tap the phone.

You have exactly 30 seconds.

It will take no longer.

Three million dollars. Final offer, Miss Fleming.

I accept.

Good, we'll consider the bidding concluded.

There will be no further negotiations

with anyone else.

You do understand me, Miss Fleming?

I do understand.

You have a firm deal.

And what about Commander Nicholson?

The commander will not be a problem.

I promise you that.

Wiki wiki.

Sorry, they just broke the connection.

Nicole.

Get away from me or I'll scream.

Nicole, please. I'm warning you.

But I have to talk to you, just for a minute.

All right!

No, no, no!

It's not fair.

It's not fair what you're doing to me, Nicole. It's not fair.

Bye.

She's in a cab, Steve, by herself.

Look like she's heading downtown.

Stay with her, close.

And so your little bird is trying to fly away, hey?

Well, she's not my little bird, colonel.

And I'm afraid she's not yours either.

Well, at least you know she's not going to meet me.

Oh, I know that, colonel. I know that for sure.

Oh, you're trying to worry me.

You've got a lot to be worried about.

Oh, really? Such as?

You were a stalking-horse, colonel.

She's making the deal with Wo Fat.

Do you know if I were in your place,

that's precisely the kind of thing I would say?

Rocking the boat, I think you call it.

A rather basic psychological maneuver, I'm afraid.

Or maybe I'm telling the truth.

Well, you know, I hadn't actually considered that.

Considering the lady in question,

I would if I were you.

I'll take the express elevator,

you keep an eye on this one.

Just lookin'.

Shh, shh, shh.

Be quiet, speak slowly, tell me what happened.

She trapped me.

I was listening in the other room

on the earphones,

and it sounded like she went out.

And when I came in here... Yes!

She was waiting for you.

All right, Kono.

Yeah. Put out an APB, right.

And get back to the hotel just in case.

We're getting down to the wire.

Where do you think she ran?

Before Nicholson was, uh, crowded into exposing himself,

she was probably gonna handle the whole deal.

But now that Nicholson has blown his cover,

he's probably handling it himself.

She doesn't trust him, Danno,

not with that much money involved.

Nicholson told Jonathan Kay he'd make the deal

with our side.

Maybe Nicole is right.

Nicholson will try to deal with the highest bidder.

No. No, that's her style.

Nicholson has more to gain from us than anyone else.

Money and amnesty.

Right.

I know him. He's no fool.

Our way is the way he wants to go now.

It's the only way he can collect the money

and keep on living.

Well, that's the way Nicholson wants to go, but...

But I don't think she'll let him.

Nicholson wants amnesty, but Miss Fleming

couldn't care less about anything except money.

Oh, Ron, I'm sorry.

I never meant for you to have to run.

And I never thought you'd have to kill that sailor.

If Wo Fat and McGarrett hadn't found out,

heh, it would have gone so smoothly.

But we have the plates, don't we?

Ron, the world is full of little people.

I want to be somebody.

Listen, from now on, it's first cabin all the way.

That's if we get there.

Oh, we will. The hard part is over.

Show me the plate. I want to see it.

Ooh-whee!

We've got it. We've really got it.

Uh-huh. Heh-heh.

That's all ours.

And the other?

Safe and sound, just the way we set it up.

Nothing can stop us.

Yeah, all I have to do now is contact McGarrett again

and arrange to collect that $2 million.

Yeah, it'll be a relief to get it over.

Misha offered two and a half million,

and then Wo Fat contacted me.

He offered 3.

Nicole, that's not what we talked about,

what we agreed on before I went out to the boat.

I'm only telling you what they said.

That's shopping around, going for top bid.

I can't afford it anymore, you know that.

I know, darling. I know. Look, I need that amnesty.

You don't know McGarrett like I do.

If I don't get that amnesty,

I'll never get off this rock.

Oh, Ron, don't worry.

That's not gonna be a problem.

Now, we're all set, you and me.

All right, doc. Pull the sheet back.

That's him.

Ron Nicholson, Navy Cross.

All right, doc, let me have it.

Four shots right to the abdomen,

very close, small-caliber ammunition.

I can tell you more later.

Soon as you can.

Get the forensic boys out here.

I want them to go over it with a fine-toothed comb.

Che Fong's gang is standing by.

Steve.

Pearl City, Rentell's Rent-a-Trailer.

Look at that, Danno.

Women's shoes.

Yeah.

I'll keep them searching.

Maybe we'll come up with something else we can use.

We won't find the plates.

She's got them.

Tar, fresh tar, minute gravel content.

Matches the tar we took from the tire tread

on Nicholson's trailer.

Che, look, there are roads being resurfaced all over the island.

Can't you do better than that?

Well, that's all I can get from his clothes.

Still checking the engine, air filter, carburetor.

Okay.

So he drove somewhere, and he got out.

Then he drove back to the beach to meet her.

Think he made a drop?

Makes sense.

You deliver the goods to Wo Fat in person,

you run the risk of not walking away.

All right, the highway division gave us this.

Their crews are tarring on Highway 90

out by Nanakuli.

And over by Ewa Beach.

There's a new road being put in at Waipio and 99

about here,

a section of Kahekili Highway near Kaneohe

about there,

the, um, Waikiki Heights street expansion program

in that area, and Koko Head,

the area by Kawaihoa Point.

That's it.

Well, that's half of the island.

Well, let's narrow it down, Danno.

I checked with, uh, Pearl City,

Rentell's Rent-a-Trailer,

Nicholson clocked just under 59 miles.

We found the car up here.

Thirty-one miles

from the trailer rental place to Lanikai.

That leaves, uh, 28 miles.

Let's figure half of that for a radius, 14.

Hold that, Danno.

All right.

That'd be the area.

Well, that leaves out Nanakuli and Ewa Beach.

And Waipio, which leaves, um,

Kahekili Highway, Waikiki Heights,

and Koko Head,

but that's stretching it a bit.

We're searching for two plates the size of a $20 bill

hidden somewhere in that area.

It'd take us weeks to find them. We've only got hours.

Time is squeezing tight, Danno,

but not only on us.

What do you mean?

Our friend Colonel Toptegan

may be ready to help.

I trust I have not kept you waiting.

That's all right. You're paying for it.

I admire directness in a woman.

I gather you had no particular difficulty

in persuading Commander Nicholson.

No difficulty at all.

Will he be joining us?

I'm afraid not.

Uh-huh. Then we can begin.

I followed your instructions carefully.

Have you received notification?

Yes, paid in full,

$3 million deposited to my Swiss account.

Now for your part of the bargain.

Miss Fleming, and the other plate?

The instructions are in the briefcase.

A detailed map, I've drawn the route.

Precisely where to go.

You'll find the back plate waiting for you.

It's been a pleasure, a real pleasure.

I'm afraid I shall have to extend

the pleasure of my company

until the other plate is more securely in my possession.

I never promised you personal delivery.

That was not our agreement.

Dear lady, I understand your position completely.

Will you let go of me?

However, I must consider the other possibility,

that your wish to take flight at this point

is prompted not by thoughts of personal safety,

but by thoughts of still greater wealth.

That's not true. We made a deal.

Come, now.

How am I to know that you haven't been tempted

to make a similar deal with one of several bidders?

It's possible.

Another $3 million for the other plate.

If you don't let me go, I'll scream.

And bring the police down upon me,

possibly even Mr. McGarrett?

Do you think that I would hesitate to kill you

just because this is a public place?

Look there, Miss Fleming.

And there.

Their instructions are precise.

If you do not accompany me now,

then alone, you will not move

more than five steps in any direction.

Shall we go?

Lost your appetite, colonel?

Only for the moment, Mr. McGarrett.

It can be a very expensive moment

for both of us.

You will forgive me, but I am not in the mood

for polite conversation today.

It's today or never, colonel.

I don't understand your meaning.

How is the weather this time of year in Siberia?

I understand your meaning.

All right, Wo Fat is getting the plates.

Now, if he takes them back to Peking,

they'll be used, and that's bad for us, very bad.

But it's gonna be bad for you too.

And it's gonna be quicker than you think.

I'm aware of that, Mr. McGarrett,

painfully aware.

Regardless of the differences in our systems,

we both wish to retain them.

You've become a very prosperous nation.

You've got a lot to lose.

Am I correct in assuming

you are making a proposal?

You can't win, but you don't have to lose.

If you tell me what you know now,

there may be a chance for both of us.

Mr. McGarrett, my position is a delicate one,

one which my superiors in Moscow

must not know about.

They won't. I give you my word.

All right.

Much of the information that you and I have is the same,

identical information gathered from different sources.

But we're playing on my ground now,

and I have the resources to move and move quickly enough

to block Wo Fat.

If?

If... If you help.

I think I can.

What is this?

If I knew that, Mr. McGarrett,

I should not need your help.

Colonel Toptegan got that from Nicole Fleming's desk.

Directions?

Probably a map.

Danno, take a look.

This road was just tarred.

By Odowan Temple.

The perfect setting. How imaginative of you.

I'm delighted that you like it.

It's most fortunate

that you are not still playing games of deception.

I told you it was here.

You see?

I wasn't so easy to dispose of after all.

If this is some machination of yours, Miss Fleming...

It isn't, I swear.

She doesn't tell the truth very often,

but this time she is.

I'm not here for her, or for you,

or for anyone except myself.

What do you expect to accomplish, Mr. Madrid?

You didn't want me. Nobody did.

You all tried to push me out,

but I couldn't let that happen.

You were all so smart, but I was smarter.

It appears that I underestimated you,

Mr. Madrid.

I guess we'll have to make an adjustment

in our arrangements after all.

Now, just put down the briefcase.

All right.

At last, Mr. Madrid,

you may name your price.

You already made your deal with her.

Obviously, that is no longer valid.

Miss Fleming and I will settle our accounts later.

Right now, let us discuss your demands.

My demands?

Just put down the briefcase.

Three million dollars.

You don't seriously think I could trust you now?

Payable however and wherever you wish.

I'll make my deal with the Russian.

He respects me.

Listen to the man, Tony.

He can make you rich.

Don't you try and tell me what to do.

Tony, take me with you.

Don't leave me here with him.

Please.

How long do you think you would survive

with her as your faithful companion?

He's right.

Tony, he'll kill me.

All right, you can come with me as far as the city.

After that, you're on your own.

Hold it!

Hold it!

McGARRETT: Freeze. A million dollars.

It's worth a million to you.

It's worth Murder One.

Book her.

You want Wo Fat?

Madrid shot him. He's in there.

Let's go, Danno.

Must be hit badly.

Yeah. Yeah, that makes him even more dangerous.

Danno, I want an APB out on Wo Fat,

roadblocks at every intersection within a mile,

double the airport and harbor watch.

Get H.P.D. out here,

search every foot of this place,

seal this rock.

McGARRETT: Colonel.

Tell me, do you come down to the airport

to say farewell to all visitors to Hawaii?

Only some, but all colonels from the KGB.

Ah... I know,

it's purely an honorary title.

The plates?

Safely in Washington.

Ah. And Wo Fat?

Oh, who knows? Probably in Peking.

Then everything is precisely as it should be.

Well, Mr. McGarrett,

a pleasure.

Truly a pleasure.

Do svidaniya.
