(grunts softly)

All right, 16 chairs. That all good?

I actually told Kamekona to
cook for at least 20 people.

Okay. All right, uh,
I'll grab a few more then.

All right, thank you.

- Hey, boss?
- Yeah.

(clears throat) Um, I remember
when my sister passed away.

You know, holidays are a little bit...

You know, 'cause
-'cause sometimes you feel like you got

a handle on things, and you-you
don't really have a handle...

No. Okay, what I'm trying to say is,

just that, this morning,

you know, when you
mentioned that you weren't up

for the annual football game

- that we usually do...
- Yeah.

Just got me thinking that,
um, you know, if you feel like

tomorrow might be a little bit too much,

you let me know, and I'll pull the plug.

I appreciate you, man. I'm good.

(knocking)

(clears throat)

- Hey.
- Hi.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Huh.

You, uh...

- (Eddie whines)
- Mold.

(sighs)
- What?

Mold. I got mold.

Looked under the sink. I got mold.

Called an expert, comes over.

Long story short, I
need a place to stay.

Six, seven days... a week, tops.

Have we done this before? You had mold,

and you came, and you stayed?

I don't know. I mean, we
live in a-a tropical climate.

You ever consider
maybe you're the issue?

No.

No, I didn't consider that.

I was gonna stay in a hotel...

Okay, good. You can do that.

But then I thought, why would I do that?

Why would I waste all that cash

when my best friend's got an extra room?

JUNIOR: No, your-your best friend

doesn't have an extra
room. I'm in the extra room.

Yeah, well, you could sleep
on the couch a couple days.

- Eddie's couch.
- Eddie's a dog.

Dog goes where you put him.

- He's just a dog.
- (Eddie whines)

Hey. Eddie, don't... He doesn't...

- It's your couch.
- (whines)

Look,

of course you're welcome in
my house, all right. It's fine.

I'm just saying, if I'm gonna run

a hostel for team members,

- I'm making a chore wheel.
- (phone ringing)

'Cause I'm not picking
up after the two of you.

Okay.
- McGarrett.

(sighs) Yeah.

No, we're on the way. On the way.

Thank you.

- Hey, what do we got?
- Let's take a little walk.

Victim's name is George Parks.

According to his son, Preston,

George came home a day
early from a business trip.

Gets on the phone with his son

when he gets in because he thinks

there's intruders on the property.

JUNIOR: Why didn't he call HPD?

Well, apparently,

that was the advice
that his son gave him,

but, uh, George had other
ideas about how to deal

with the intruders. He went and got

a 12 gauge from his gun cabinet.

DANNY: I take it that didn't

- work out so well?
- It did not.

At 11:30 p.m., George Parks was killed.

- (grunts)
- COD was blunt force trauma

to the back of the head.

Having not heard from his
father, Preston gets worried,

he drives to the house...
That's where he sees the body...

- Calls 911.
- STEVE: Okay.

So what happened?
He interrupt a robbery?

Yes, uh, but not the
kind you would expect.

(Hawaii Five-O theme song playing)

- Synced and corrected by ChrisKe -
-- for www.addic7ed.com --

Well, this is a first.

They took the tree.

They took the tree and nothing else.

The thieves didn't even
go inside the house.

The boot prints indicate a crew of four.

And they were smart about
it. They spray-painted

those security cameras, ergo
no footage from last night.

DANNY: But why would you steal a tree?
I mean, you got

all this nice stuff
inside the house, I assume.

- W-Who would take a tree?
- Don't look at me.

It's not just a tree. It's a koa.

It's highly valuable,
and judging by the size

of its trunk here, I'd say
it's worth upwards of a million.

- Dollars?
- They're very scarce.

The state restricts logging,

which just pushes the
price up even more.

Yeah, that's why koa wood picked up

- the nickname "Hawaiian gold."
- DANNY: All right, let's put

the ridiculous price of this
tree on the side for a second.

Obviously, you couldn't see
this thing from the street.

So I imagine whoever did this
has been on the property before.

Have you, uh, started looking into staff

or, uh, extended family?

Yeah, I wish it was that simple,
because according to the kids,

George had hundreds of
parties and fundraisers here

over the 50-plus years
he lived at the house.

Okay, so half the island
knows about this tree.

TANI: Yeah, and it's a really good thing

Thanksgiving happens every year,

because I don't think we're gonna

make it home in time for this one.

All right, so CSU's still processing,

But so far, no forensics
to help us I.D. our killers.

All right, look, in the
meantime, you don't steal

something like that without a plan
in place to move it. So let's see

- if we can find potential buyers.
- (phone ringing)

- On it.
- Yo.

Uh, it's my mom.

Go ahead.

Hello?

What? When?

All right, ca... calm down, Mom.

All right. Let me call you right back.

She all right?
- My parents' house just got robbed.

- Go. Take Tani with you.
- You sure?

- We have a case.
- It's fine. Lou and Quinn can jump on.

Just go look after your parents

and call us if you need anything.

Make sure he calls, all right?

- Yeah. Come on.
- Let me know.

STEVE: Look, guys,
we know the last thing

you probably want to do
right now is answer questions,

but the bottom line is, whoever did this

knew that your father
was gonna be out of town.

Okay? So, besides the three of you,

who else knew his travel schedule?

DARREN: Better question is
who didn't know?

Dad always attended

a trade conference in
Singapore over Thanksgiving.

He would give the ground crew

and house staff five days off to,

to be with their families.

- I'm sorry, I just...
- No, it's fine.

Was that something he did regularly?

Let the staff go away, uh...

Uh, yeah. He's been doing
it since we were kids.

So, um, over the years,
you're talking, like,

50 to 100 people who knew he'd be gone.

Okay, well, we're
gonna need those names.

- Yes. All right.
- And also, anybody else you

can think of. Extended family or friends
who had access to this place.

Your father and I were only
gone for maybe 30 minutes.

We went by the market
to pick up a few things,

and when we got back...

- Look at this mess.
- JUNIOR: It's okay, Ma.

All right?

Where's Dad?

He's at the hardware
store to get some supplies

and n-new doors.

Dad doesn't know I'm here.

(sighs)

He told me not to bother you.

- To let the police handle it.
- Okay. Mm.

Mrs. Reigns,

why don't you walk us
through what was taken?

Uh, not much in here.

Just an old laptop.

Natano's radio.

Wait, but they didn't take the TV

or the DVD player.

Did they get your jewelry?

It's worse than that.

LANA: They also took your dad's cigar
box, with all his valuables.

YOUNG JUNIOR: Just promise

you won't tell my dad.

Uh, Mrs. Reigns,

I promise you we're
gonna do everything we can

to get your property back.

Thank you.

Right, Joons?

GROVER: I've been sniffing
around the black market

for koa wood.

- Mm.
- Come to find out there's some guy

who sells trinkets made of the stuff.

He's operating out of some
tourist trap in Waikele.

- Okay.
- He goes by the name

of Lolo Joe.

- Ah. Sounds reputable.
- Oh, yeah.

Thing is this: when everybody
else is out of koa wood,

this cat always has cords
of the stuff lying around.

- Is that right?
- Mm-hmm.

Why don't you and Quinn
go pay him a visit?

Yes, sir.

TANI: Okay. Thanks, Duke.

Yeah, keep us posted.

Okay, bye.

All right. HPD's canvassing pawn
shops for your parents' stuff.

Joons, you know, that...

that look you had on your
face at the house, um...

Do you think you know who did this?

Yeah.

No one outside my family
knows my parents' stash spot...

except for my hanai brother Owen.

I didn't know your
parents took someone in.

Yeah. He was my best friend growing up.

We were eight years old and...

he'd turn up to class
wearing the same thing

three days in a row.

Come to find out that, uh,
his mom had been arrested

and he was living by himself.

An eight-year-old.

I told my parents. They took him in.

He lived with us for about a year.

Then his mom got sober
and demanded that he move

back in with her. Maybe it wasn't him.

Burglars, they...

They typically look for
hiding spots just like that.

No, no. This was a
targeted smash-and-grab.

Whoever did this knew exactly
what they were going for

and where to find it.

You want to know the worst bit?

I'm the one who showed it to him.

(laughs softly)

We were about, like, uh, 11 years old,

and I was bragging about
my dad's Purple Heart.

You know, I grabbed it, pulled
it out, waving the thing around

like-like it was some sort
of trophy or something.

I was such... an idiot.

My dad had put it

in a box because it was so
painful for him to look at.

Owen must have seen

the other things in the box.

Like my dad's gold watch that he got

when he was pensioned

from his construction job.

He must have gone for the watch

and just grabbed everything
else because it was there.

Well, the thing is,
addiction is genetic.

I dodged that bullet,

but I'm-I'm guessing
Owen wasn't so lucky?

(quietly): No.

All right.

Take it you don't know where he lives

or hangs out these days.

No.

But I know where to start.

♪

GROVER: Well, look-y here, Officer Liu.

This is a damn smorgasbord
of koa wood, isn't it?

Thought this stuff was
supposed to be hard to come by?

- Like finding water in a desert.
- Yeah.

Or a mailman at a dog park.

LOLO JOE: Can I help you with something?

Or are you just practicing
for open mic night

at the Laugh Emporium?

- Everybody's a critic.
- Mm-hmm.

Uh, we're with Five-O.

We're looking into the illicit

koa wood trade here on the island.

When it comes to that sort of thing,

everybody tells us
that, uh, you the man.

What's this really about?

GROVER: You know, somebody stole

a whole koa wood tree

from a private residence last night.

And then they killed the owner.

So we figure you may
know something about it.

LOLO JOE: All right, look.
I didn't know anybody was gonna die.

But yes.

Some guys approached me and
said they were coming into

a big supply of koa.

I didn't get their names,

but I am supposed to meet
with them in about an hour.

Where?

(siren wailing)

(quiet chatter)

Stay on that door.

- Five-O!
- OFFICER: Breach.

OFFICER 2: Go around back!

QUINN: Four dead. Chainsaws.

This is definitely the
crew that stole the koa.

Yeah, but the wood's still here.

What were they killed for?

- Hey.
- Hmm.

Heard we got something.

Sure did. For starters, we
identified the men in the warehouse.

Three of them have records,
including for B and Es.

The fourth guy, a
Daniel Malapit, is clean.

However, up until six months ago,

he was working as a gardener for,

- you guessed it, George Parks.
- Malapit knew

the tree was there and
how much it was worth,

so he puts together a crew to go get it

- when he thinks Parks is out of town.
- QUINN: And there's more.

CSU found George Parks's
blood on one of our dead perps.

Okay, so the gardener and his crew
killed Parks. Who killed them?

GROVER: Well, unfortunately,
ballistics came back

inconclusive, because the
gun used in those murders

wasn't in the system.

Okay, so fresh off of this robbery,

all these guys are taken out,

but whoever killed them,
for whatever reason,

decided to leave all
the valuable wood behind?

Well, actually, not all the wood.

When CSU was processing,

they discovered that one section

of the koa tree was
missing, so I compared

these images from CSU

with this old photo of the
tree, and check this out.

The section that was taken
has this large cavity in it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here,

and say that, uh, that
ain't no coincidence.

Which got us thinking...

what if this hole was
being used as a stash spot?

So maybe it wasn't actually
about the tree itself,

but what was being hidden inside of it.

And maybe that's why someone
was desperate enough to

- track these guys down and kill them.
- It's a theory.

All right, let's CSU back
to look at that tree again.

Make sure we're not missing anything.

DANNY: And if you're right about

the stash spot of it all,

the only way I'm hiding something
valuable in a tree is if it's on

- my property.
- ADAM: Which leaves

our victim, George Parks.

- And his three kids.
- (knocking on door)

Junior. Long time.

Mrs. Ocampo, is Owen home?

Oh, now you're police, so
it's Mrs. Ocampo, is it?

Owen's not here.

Go ahead. See for yourself.

When was the last time you saw Owen?

He came over about
three or four days ago.

I gave him a hundred dollars to score.

He brought back 50 bucks of crap.

Go ahead, Junior, say it.

You and that family of yours

always thought you were better than us.

Did he tell you how they
took my son away from me?

JUNIOR: That would be how you

remember it. Doesn't make it true.

TANI: Look, you don't want us here,

and frankly, the feeling's mutual.

So why don't you just tell us
where did Owen score? Who is his dealer?

If I knew that, I would've gone myself,

instead of giving my son
the chance to rip me off.

So, uh, that's everything.

I got better things to do
than talk to cops all day.

Do you even care
that Owen might be in trouble?

Owen's always in trouble.

When you see my kolohe son,

tell him he owes me 50 bucks.

Well, I'm ready to crown
her mother of the year.

Joons, I'm s... I'm sorry, I was
just trying to lighten the mood.

No. Don't apologize. I appreciate it.

You know, it's just...

seeing his mom again
is... Takes me back.

You know, when Owen used to
live with us, he was doing great.

We were in Little League together.

You know, he was doing great in school.

But with a mom like that...

he never stood a chance.

Well, your family was there for him.

You did what you could.

Tani, I can't tell you how many times

I tried to get Owen into rehab.

He turned me down every time.

To the point where I just,
you know, I stopped offering.

Maybe that was my mistake.

I mean, you never gave
up on your brother.

Here's what I know about addicts...

you can keep trying all you want.

But until they're ready to take
responsibility for themselves,

no amount of help is
gonna get them clean.

(phone chimes)

Speaking of Koa...

I texted him a picture
of the bag of happies

I saw on the table.

I thought he could show
it around the clinic,

see if anyone knew where it came from.

Boy, did he come through.

"Check Ala Moana Beach Park.

The guy under the park
shelter sells the stuff."

Hi.

What's that?

What does it look like?

This is highly suspicious behavior.

- What's going on?
- It's a coffee.

I'm bringing my landlord
a nice cup of coffee.

Okay. You're not getting the guest room.

And you don't have to have the
coffee. I just came here to tell you

that we are looking
into the Parks kids...

Alibis, phone records from last night.

- That's all.
- All right.

Do me a favor, just take it
easy on the caffeine, all right?

You know you get all jittery
and stupid when you drink

- too much coffee.
- Hey, guys, we just caught a break.

CSU was processing the koa tree

and found an earring lodged in
the lower section of the trunk.

DNA on it popped for a Jane
Doe cold case from 15 years ago.

Is this gonna be disgusting?

- Yes.
- "Jane Doe, age 15

"to 20, murdered and dismembered.

"Some, but not all

"of the body parts were
found in burial sites

in Pupukea-Paumalu Forest Reserve."

So, they chopped her up.
ADAM: Uh, it turns out

the head was the only part
that was never recovered.

So it's possible we just
found what was inside that tree.

Yeah.

♪

(indistinct chatter)

Okay, wait. Hold on, hold on.

Are you good?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Junior.

Beat it.

How is it, brother-man?

You know, it's been, been a while

since we hung out and stuff, bro.

Yeah. No, no, don't do that,
okay? You know why I'm here.

J... man, I'm, uh...

I'm sorry. Okay? I... I was hurting,

- and I didn't...
- Where's the stuff you stole?

Where'd you pawn it?

Oh... it's the spot on Mokauea.

You were my brother, man.

My parents took you in.

How? How could you do that?

My dad's Purple Heart?

No-no-no-no, I-I wouldn't,
I wouldn't sell that.

It's still in the, in the
cigar box. I got it.

Yeah? Where?

Um, it's at the motel I'm crashing at.

I can take you there.

Empty your pockets.

Do it.

What's this? What's this?

- Hmm? Yeah.
- No! Stop!

Get up. Get up.

See, we spent this whole day trying
to find your ass before HPD did.

Forget about the robbery. Having
that stuff right there can send you

- away for a long time in Halawa.
- I know.

- Yeah, you know?
- I know.

Well, you don't act
like someone who knows.

You act like someone who doesn't care

if they live or they die, man.

You have two options.

You come with me and I turn
you in for the robbery...

or you go to rehab.

My brother works for a rehab clinic.

There's a spot there for you.

But you have to agree to go today.

Just say yes.

All you got to do is say yes.

ADAM: Hey, credit where it's due.

Whichever sibling killed our Jane Doe

was smart to hide the head
in a state-protected tree

on private property.

Well, why hold on to the head at all?

Was the killer keeping it
for some kind of sick trophy?

Well, think about it practically, right?

A teenage girl is probably not
gonna have prints in the system,

but she's gonna have dental records.

QUINN: Well, that would
explain why you'd want

- to keep the skull close.
- Right. And it would've worked

if the... chainsaw people
didn't come around.

- All right, so, 15 years ago,
- (door opens)

Darren, Preston and Olivia
were living at the house

at the time of the murder.

Tell you who I like for this thing.

I did a little deeper dive
into Larry, Moe and Girly's

phone records.

Boy, I got a story to tell you.

(lock buzzes, door opens)

All right, Preston, we're
gonna get right to it,

because we already know you lied to us.

Lied to you? About what?

Well, for starters, your timeline.

You said that when your
father didn't answer the phone,

you went right to his place.

And when you got there, you called 911.

Problem is, there's 45
minutes between the last time

you tried him and that 911 call.

Yeah, that kind of strikes me as odd.

- Yeah.
- I mean, that time of night,

no traffic on the road...

- Mm.
- And you live

maybe 15 minutes away from
your father's house, tops.

Now, I ain't no math major, but, uh,

that sounds like 30
minutes missing to me.

So what happened in that
half an hour, Preston?

GROVER: See, I think that left you

just enough time

to get over to that warehouse

and kill those guys

- who stole your father's...
- Whoa, whoa. W-Wait, I didn't...

What? Who do you think
you're talking to?!

You needed to get at that
tree so you could grab

that skull you stashed there

- 15 years back.
- Skull?

- What-what skull?
- This one.

It's amazing what sniffer dogs can find.

GROVER: Yeah. Found this, too. See that?

One of her earrings.

Tell us who she was.

(sniffles)

(shudders)

Her name was...

was Lena.

Lena Schmidt.

She was a backpacker.

From Germany. Okay?

I met her at-at a beach
party, and I brought her home.

GROVER: This poor

young woman, who'd been sleeping
in tents and youth hostels.

Until along comes little Richie Rich

with just the thing to impress her,

his daddy's huge estate.

Anyone else at the house?

No.

My dad was out of town, and so...

none of the staff were around.

Liv and Darren were...

(exhales) at the movies.

So, with just you and Lena then,

guess you decided to
have a little party.

Huh? A little drinking.

Drugs, too, I imagine.

Yeah.

We were just messing around.

And then... and then I...

I just... I-I jokingly...

I pushed her into the pool,

and then, uh, she hit her head.

And I... I didn't mean for it to happen.

But you did mean

to cut her body into little pieces

and scatter her around the forest.

Just so we're clear.

(exhales)

I panicked.

And...

(sighs)

That kind of scandal, I...

didn't want my mistake
to ruin my father.

And so I...

I took care of the problem.

GROVER: "Problem."

I guess that's one way to put it.

We're not done, Preston.

We're gonna need you to walk
us through the last 15 hours.

And don't leave out any details.

(lock buzzes)

Well, did he buy it?

Oh, he bought it all right.

Surprised it worked.

This one here's a regular Meryl Streep.

Oh, yeah?

Where'd you get this idea anyway?

Hamlet, tenth grade English.

And shout-out to Noelani
for supplying the prop.

Hmm. So did Preston give up the location

- of the real skull?
- Oh, yeah, yeah.

Since he thought we already found it,

he didn't think twice about
telling us where he tossed it.

In the Ala Wai Canal, off McCully.

I'm gonna get CSU on it.

Have them take the
skull out of the water.

All right.

Uh-oh, I know that
look. What's up, Lou?

I don't know about
you, but I don't think

I'm buying this kid's confession.

He went right to the waterworks
as soon as he saw this thing.

That kind of reaction?
I mean, look at him.

Do you really think this
kid is the kind to go around

chopping up backpackers, and
then spreading their parts

all over the island
like Johnny Bodyseed?

One, thank you for the
vivid imagery, and two,

I'm inclined to agree.

But the question is,

if Preston didn't do it, then
who is he protecting, and why?

OWEN: I couldn't sell a Purple Heart.

Your pop, man, h-he...
he was so good to me

back in the day.

I'm sorry... for everything.

It's all about what you do next.

All right?

(van door closes)

(engine starts)

I'm proud of you, Joons.

These letters...

they have military stamps.

They're from Afghanistan.

Did you write those to your dad
while you were stationed there?

No, I've never seen them before.

These are the remains of Lena Schmidt,

including the skull that CSU
just pulled out of the canal.

Problem is,

your guy that confessed,

he and Lena's cranium

are telling two very different stories.

Is that so?

Well, by all means, elaborate.

Well, Lena was definitely wounded

and quite possibly unconscious

after the fall your suspect described,

but that's not what killed her.

Here's where her head
struck the lip of the pool.

GROVER: Mm-hmm.

But these three depressed fractures...

Here, here and here...

On the other side of the
skull, that's what killed her.

So this was no accident.

This was cold-blooded murder.

I didn't make Preston
Parks for a murderer before,

and I still don't.

And besides, if Preston was guilty,

he would have known the cause of death.

So the fake skull
wouldn't have fooled him.

Then why confess to a
murder you didn't commit?

Unless you're covering for
someone else in your family.

I know you wanted to talk to the family,

but I'm afraid Preston isn't here.

Frankly, I'm worried. He
hasn't been answering my calls.

Oh, that's 'cause, uh, he's with us.

- Why?
- Lena Schmidt.

Who?

The woman who was
murdered here 15 years ago,

that's who.

I'm sorry, what?

Oh, stop it. Preston already
confessed to the murder.

But we don't believe his confession

'cause he didn't even
know how the girl died.

But we think you do.

- Olivia?
- Not now, Diane.

You want to do this in front
of Diane and the whole family?

Or you want to get 'em
out of here? Your call.

Diane, take everyone outside, please.

Absolutely. Come on, guys.

- Let's give them some privacy.
- How dare you.

Coming in here with
these preposterous lies.

It's bad enough that
our family Thanksgiving

was turned into a wake.

- And now this?
- Oh, this is just the start.

DARREN: That's enough.

Get out. If you want
to say another word,

you can say it to our lawyers.

PRESTON: Damn it, just tell the truth.

For 15 years,

you let me think that I was a murderer.

That I was responsible,
that I killed her.

When I pulled her out of the pool,

I thought she was dead.

Help!

(echoing): Lena...

I was a mess.

You said that you would take care of it.

It's gonna be okay.

So you just gave me some pills

and you sent me to bed.

But she wasn't dead...

was she?

Instead of calling an ambulance,

you just... you just finished her off.

You sound insane.

Why... why would we do that?

GROVER: How 'bout we begin with the fact

that all of you here were
drinking and using illegal drugs.

QUINN: Plus, there was the
potential manslaughter charge

on deck for Preston

- if she didn't survive.
- GROVER: And if she did,

well, that leaves this family

wide open for a multimillion dollar

civil suit from Lena's
family back in Germany.

ADAM: All of which would damage

your father's good name and fortune.

Not to mention your inheritance.

PRESTON: I thought you did this
amazing thing for me.

That you put yourself
on the line to cover up

for my stupid, horrible mistake.

So when they picked me up today,

I confessed to protect you.

Now that I know the truth,

I'm done. I'm done.

She could have lived,

but you killed her.

You killed her.

GROVER: All right, turn around

and face the fruit salad.

You're under arrest for
the murder of Lena Schmidt.

Let's go.

(zip tie tightens)

GROVER: What do you say, Duke?

How'd it go with that warrant
at Darren Parks's house?

Found a dismantled AR-15
stashed in the garden shed.

Ballistics already linked
the bullets to the warehouse.

Did you get the real
timeline for last night?

Yeah, Preston did come straight here,

saw his dad's body in
the grass, like he said,

but he also saw the
tree theft in progress.

That's when he texted the sister.

QUINN: She told him to follow the truck

at a distance, see where
they were taking the wood.

When Preston got there,
he gave Olivia the address,

then came back here to call 911.

GROVER: Meanwhile, Darren
heads over to the warehouse

and shoots those guys up.

Then he hooks back up with
Olivia, and they both go

to dump the skull in the Ala Wai.

Well... (sighs) doesn't seem like

the Parks family has a lot
to be thankful for this year.

- (drill whirring)
- _

For you.

Your mom's things?

Yeah, my partner's getting them now.

Who did this?

Couple of nobodies, Tweakers.

Thank you.

Of course.

New doors look good.

Yeah, glass is double-paned.

Nice, nice.

(clears throat)

I saw the letters.

You told me not to write
you from deployment.

Said you didn't want to know
what was going on with me.

But now I find out that,
uh, this whole time,

you got my C.O. to write you.

You were keeping tabs on me.

Look, I know you're not big
on telling people how you feel,

but these letters, they,
uh, they tell me plenty.

And I can see you've read
them a bunch of times.

You know what this says to me?

Says to me that me and
you still have a shot.

So I'm never gonna stop trying to
make things right with you, Dad.

And I know you're mad
at me for what I did

at the parole hearing, but
I just want... just, like,

let me explain to you...

I wasn't angry at you.
I was angry at myself.

I realize that now.

You were able to forgive.

I was not.

I won't make that mistake again.

Okay.

Okay.

(crying)

I'm sorry.

(exhales)

I'd invite you over
to stay for the meal,

but your mother and I
never got around to cooking.

Ah, nah, it's okay... Uh, it's okay.

I think I, uh, I know a
place where we can all eat.

- Oh.
- For free.

(chuckles) Even better.
- Yeah.

Mom.

Princess, wow, everything
looks fantastic. It's amazing.

You doing all right? It
looks like you got a lot

of cooks in the kitchen here.

What, are you crazy?

There's only one cook here:

- me.
- All right.

- I'm assisting.
- And I'm supervising.

And I am tasting.

STEVE: Okay, well, as
long as you're cool,

I'll let you guys stay at it then, okay?

You're gonna love what
we're cooking here.

And because it's Thanksgiving, hon,

and because you're 'ohana,

I'm not gonna send you a bill, okay?

- Oh. Until next month. (laughing)
- Ha!

That's, uh, it's very
touching, thank you.

What?

Aw. How lucky are you?

You get to hang out with
this very good boy for a week.

Yeah, well, he's the only one
who doesn't drive me completely crazy.

Hey, did you, um,

did you end up connecting

with Lena Schmidt's family in Germany?

Yeah, I ended up talking to the father.

He kept saying how relieved he was

to finally be able to get
some closure to this thing.

So am I gonna get to
meet your family today?

Uh, no, no.

My, uh, my ex has the kids this year.

Is she your ex?

Because I keep getting
conflicting reports.

Huh. Worse than high
school, these people.

- (laughs)
- Yeah, she's my ex,

but we're, I don't know, I guess
trying to maybe work it out,

- just give it another shot.
- How's that going?

Uh, well, she's not here.

Well, maybe I'll meet
her next Thanksgiving.

- Yeah, maybe.
- JUNIOR: Hey, everyone,

these are my folks.

(overlapping greetings)

Mr. and Mrs. Reigns, what a pleasure

- it is to finally meet you both.
- Pleasure is ours.

Oh, nice to meet you.
Thank you, Commander.

Oh, please call me Steve, and thank you,

guys, for coming by. I
know it's been a rough day.

We were, we were sorry
to hear about the robbery.

Appreciate that.

I mean, we're just lucky
Junior was able to sort this all out.

Yeah, well, Junior has

a habit of doing that, sir.

Junior, you want to, uh, you want

- to get your folks something to drink?
- Yeah.

Listen, while I got you
guys here, you should know

that your son is one of the finest men

I've ever had the honor of working with.

- Somebody raised him right.
- Thank you.

- TANI: Hi.
- Hey.

Special delivery.

Mrs. Reigns, here is all your stuff.

Ni'ihau shell necklace included.

Honey, you have no idea what
this means to me. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, hey, guys, why don't you, uh,

come on over and meet Junior's parents.

- Aloha.
- Aloha. Nice to meet you.

It's so good to see them here with you.

I take it your talk went well?

- Yeah. Yeah, it went great.
- Good.

Hi. How are you? Nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Yeah, you covered that today.

No, no, um, not just for today,

for everything.

I don't know if you remember,

but exactly a year ago today,

you gave me a pep talk

before I went to my folks'
place for Thanksgiving.

Since then,

things between me and
my dad have, you know,

been up and down,

mainly down.

- Mm-hmm.
- But you

have been the constant in my life.

Thank you.

Where else would I be, Joon?

Yeah.

Well, I, um,

I know I've been so distracted

with-with my dad and everything.

Y-You know, other things in my life

have kind of taken a back seat.

I just wanted you to know

that I'm looking forward
to... changing that now.

- That sounds good.
- Yeah?

Uh-huh.

(both chuckle)

Let me ask you a question:

Is there actually gonna be any food left

when it's time to sit down
to eat with these nice people?

- Not if I can help it.
- (chuckles) Unbelievable.

Hey, Renee and the kids will
be here in about ten minutes,

and, uh, big brother, Chef Percy,

is gonna make an appearance.

- Oh, good. He bringing dessert?
- Damn right.

- Kouign-amann all around.
- That's right.

GROVER: I think it's really
nice that you're offering

to let Danny stay here while
they're working on his place.

Lou, come on. You know as well as I do,

there's no mold in that man's house.

- Why, Steve McGarrett.
- Huh?

Whatever do you mean?

First of all, he's got the
worst poker face on the planet.

- Yeah.
- And, second of all, I get it.

It's been a, uh, it's been
an interesting year for me,

between Joe and Mom.
He's worried about me.

He wants to keep an eye on me, I get it.

Nice when you got a lot of friends

that actually give a damn about you,

- ain't it?
- Yes, it is.

Speaking of poker faces,

you better work on yours.
The man is a detective.

He's eventually gonna know
that you know that he's lying.

He doesn't have to
figure it out tonight.

- (chuckles)
- ADAM: Hey, Steve.

- What are you looking at?
- Hey, catch.

What do you say, play a
few downs before we eat?

- Let's go.
