We lucked out, baby.

That sure was a good handgun.

It was worth about $200 or $300, I bet.

Come on. Let's go.

[ engine turns over ]

You take it easy now.

[ indistinct conversations ]

Officer, keep the crowd back, Please.

Ma'am, you want to move on?

What do you mean I assaulted him?

You know, he shot me. He was trying to rob my store.

I've been robbed six times.

Sir, I checked the alley out. No gun.

Nothing?

What difference does it make? I've been shot!

Manny, take a look.

The one on the top Came in this morning --

Attempted robbery, Chinatown bakery.

They look like hk slugs -- 9mm german automatic.

They are. Polygon rifling.

The one on the bottom is From the files

Of senator korasu's Assassination.

Get five-o on the phone.

No possibility of error?

They match perfectly, steve.

The gun used this morning killed Senator korasu six weeks ago.

Who's got the gun now?

I don't know. There's no trace of it.

We've got to find it, you know.

Robbery suspect's on hold, Emergency receiving.

Proprietor of the shop Is there, too.

Okay. We'll be here, keoni. Keep me informed. Thank you.

Kimo, lori, put those files Aside for the moment.

We got our first lead On senator korasu's murder.

Now, that handgun That killed him, an hk 9mm,

Is back on active duty.

What do you got, duke?

Photos h.P.D. Took Of the robbery suspect --

The punk called tanami.

Interesting.

Okay.

Kimo, here's the file On senator korasu's murder.

All that was Before I signed on, steve.

Yeah. That's why I'm handing it to you.

I want a fresh start.

The gun was stolen from the home Of, uh, roger bancroft

Just before the senator Was shot to death.

Now, you can start At bancroft's place.

You got it.

Duke, uh, you and lori question

This tanami character And the shop proprietor.

What's his name? Sunada?

That gun's got to be somewhere.

Any case we develop Hangs on our finding it.

Another harmless handgun, Huh, steve?

Yeah.

Yeah. Guns everywhere. It's frightening.

50 million to 60 million Of them out there,

Owned by a nation Of handgun lovers,

And every one of them capable Of death and destruction.

Mm. Missed.

Pull.

Oh, no, no.

As you track leading,

Your arm and shoulders Are frozen,

A single unit as you pivot.

Dad, if you get off my case, I just might zero in.

Try it again, elliot.

Pull.

[ gunshot ]

That's the ticket.

Mr. Bancroft, A gentleman to see you.

Thank you.

Mr. Bancroft, I'm jim carew, Hawaii five-o.

Oh. Pleasure. This is my son, elliot.

Mr. Carew.

Uh, we're looking into the Senator korasu killing again.

Oh, again? We've been over this Same ground over and over again.

Uh-huh. Well, we might have Some new ground to cover.

An hk 9mm was used In a robbery today.

Dad's missing gun? You mean you found it?

Unfortunately, no.

Just the bullet that was fired.

However, it is the missing gun.

It's a rare item.

It seems to me it would be Relatively easy to track down.

We're certainly trying, Mr. Bancroft,

But you must understand

That there are millions of Stolen handguns in circulation,

And they pass them around Like chocolate drops.

There seems to be A demand for them.

Why do you suppose my hk Is the gun in question?

Well, like you said, It's a rare piece.

I don't suppose there are more

Than a half a dozen of them In honolulu.

And add that to the fact

That the gun returned to action In the hands of a thief.

Well, mr. Carew, we've been Over this gun theft before

With h.P.D., with your people.

I don't know what else I can tell you.

Yes, I understand that, sir. You see, I'm new on the case.

I-I promise I'll take up As little time as possible.

I-I wonder If I might see your den.

Sure.

It's that way.

I see you keep An open, friendly house.

Oh, yes. My son has lots of friends.

I've gone over the records Pretty thoroughly.

The file indicates the thief

Probably knew your property Inside and out.

That's implicit.

Whoever it was knew how to skirt The outside alarm system,

And he knew his way To the gun cabinet.

Do you, uh, keep these unlocked?

Yes.

If somebody wanted to steal A gun, he'd break the glass.

Yes, I suppose so. This does Make it easier, doesn't it?

Uh, there's, uh -- there's Where the hk 9mm was, huh?

Yes.

You know, mr. Bancroft,

If, um -- If you keep guns around,

You do have an obligation To keep control of them.

These are unloaded, of course?

That goes without saying.

I keep all my ammunition Under lock and key.

This picture here --

Uh, do you think this young man

Has ever been a visitor In your house?

-no. -no.

His name's tanami.

Doesn't ring a bell.

-okay. Uh, I wonder if I could Have a look around outside. -sure.

Now, that'd be the late senator Korasu's residence there, huh?

Yes. He was outside the house When he was shot.

You were close neighbors.

Well, physically, yes.

Yes. I'm told that you weren't Exactly on the best of terms.

No secret, mr. Carew.

We were Violent political enemies.

The gun-control law He was gonna introduce --

Elliot, don't interrupt.

It goes deeper than gun control.

It's korasu's whole mentality --

Government regulation,

Interference in a citizen's Private rights --

The worst disease afflicting Contemporary society.

You know what he did A week before he was shot?

He came to my house uninvited

And said he was going To bury me alive.

You should have heard The threats that he made.

Elliot, I can speak for myself.

Uh, the thief could have Come up this way

And, uh, then he wouldn't Have tripped off

That front alarm system.

If he was half-monkey.

Well, if my gun Was korasu's undoing,

Then the loss of the gun Is worth it.

Oh, I-I don't mean that Literally. Of course not.

But a man has a right To keep a gun.

-you police -- -it's a constitutional right.

See, I can't get Any police protection.

I've had an expensive Alarm system installed.

I've subscribed To a private security guard.

And still I'm burglarized.

Violent crime Is going up, up, up.

Yes, it certainly is, Mr. Bancroft,

And that's mainly due to the Easy accessibility of handguns.

Good day, sir.

Uh, he had a gun on me.

That's why I tried To protect myself.

Mr. Sunada, we know There was a gun.

We just can't find it.

Uh, did you notice anyone At the rear entrance?

No, I didn't see anybody

But that smart punk In the room down the hall.

He's getting all the service!

Do you realize I'm charged with Assault with a deadly weapon?

You know, I have to pay hospital Bills, hire an attorney,

While this thief gets everything Free at the public trough?!

[ laughs ]

You're looking for a gun? This is hysterical.

I didn't have any gun.

I went in there to buy A birthday cake for my girl,

And this creep drew a knife.

I don't know who shot him, man, But, uh, you got no case on me.

[ laughs ]

Attempted robbery is minor

In comparison With a murder charge, tanami.

What are you talking about, man?

Something more for you To laugh about.

That gun was used by the person Who murdered senator korasu.

As of now, you and whoever was Backing you at the rear entrance

Are our prime suspects.

Do you want to cooperate?

[ laughs ]

I don't know anything About a gun,

And I'm gonna say it again, Okay?

You got no case on me.

[ laughs ]

Hey, man!

You know, I'm gonna sue this Pastry cat for assaulting me.

[ laughs ]

I'll find you, robber.

A gun! A gun!

I see you, robber.

Oh, my god.

Hey. Hey, kid.

-I see you, robber. -kid! Hey, kid!

Give me that gun! Don't do that!

Taki!

Lana! Taki!

No! No! No!

That's another 9mm slug, steve,

But whether it was fired From the same hk

We'll have to see Down in ballistics.

How about the girl?

Lodged against her spine. They're trying to extract it.

Yeah, well, I'm not waiting For any ballistics report.

It's a 100-to-1 shot It's the same gun.

Ekg, please call The page operator.

Ekg, please call The page operator.

Find it, doctor?

Well, see if we got A match, gary, huh?

Taki, my son, we know You didn't mean to do this.

Where did you hide the gun?

We just want to find That gun, son.

Dr. Smith, Call nuclear medicine.

Dr. Smith, Call nuclear medicine.

How can a child get hold Of such a terrible thing?

How?

Because the guns are Out there everywhere,

And all this pointless pain And suffering

Could be prevented.

I'm sorry.

I hope and pray that your Daughter will be all right.

Who's your friend?

Steve, this is taki.

Hi, taki.

[ elevator bell dings ]

Lana.

Your daughter will recover, Mrs. Mccullough.

-thank god! -she'll be fine.

Thank god, lana.

God, everything's gonna be All right, lana. Thank god.

See that?

Your little sister's Gonna be okay.

That's right.

You're gonna be Back on the beach

Playing together pretty soon.

Taki, everybody knows It was an accident.

But we don't want it To happen again, do we?

No, sir.

We want to find that gun And get rid of it

Before someone else gets hurt or Even killed with it, don't we?

Will you show me Where you left it?

I'll show you.

Good. Come on.

You think this is Where you left it, huh?

Uh, yeah.

There.

I put it in there.

No gun here, son. Are you sure you left it here?

Yes. I put it in there, Then I ran.

Well, somebody beat us to it, Somebody scrounging,

Or maybe somebody saw you Stash it.

Okay.

Come on. I'll take you home.

I'd like a record Of the bank's deposits.

They're gonna spring tanami.

Spring him?

That's right. They say they can't hold him.

-no hard evidence. -no hard evidence?

What do they need to prosecute,

A signed confession With his lawyers present?

Yeah, something like that, Steve.

We do our job, and we have To stand by helplessly

While the d.A.'s office decides If he'll prosecute or not?

And if it does decide to pursue The case and gets a conviction,

The court will dismiss it With a slap on the wrist?

-duke? -yeah, steve?

Stay on his tail. Dog him. Don't let him out of your sight.

Hey, bro!

Hey, I knew They'd cut you loose.

-thanks for the clothes, huh? -sure.

But you shouldn't leave me In the alley like that, rolly.

I thought you were dead.

I did you a favor, jack.

They wouldn't have cut you loose

If you weren't so lucky That I picked up my hk.

[ chuckles ]

You, uh -- you still got it?

Yeah, by some freaky luck.

Had to get rid of it.

When I went back to get it,

This kid picked it up And shot a girl with it.

Then he dumps it in the trash And splits.

-funny, huh? -[ laughs ] Yeah.

Let -- let me see it, huh?

Why?

I said let me -- Let me see it, huh? Come on.

Why?

Careful, man. It's loaded.

Dismantle it and throw it In the pearly deep.

You got that?!

[ tires screech ]

Hey!

Hold it.

Hold it! Hold it!

Come on back here.

Okay. Where's the gun?

What gun?

Mister, we have enough charges Against you to glut the courts

For the next 15 years,

Beginning with the murdered Senator korasu.

Now, where's the gun?

I didn't murder nobody.

Yeah? How about tanami?

We were -- we were struggling For the gun.

Yeah? And the girl An hour or so ago?

That was an accident.

Sure. They're all accidents, Aren't they?

But it was no accident That you got this money, huh?

Only one person in the world

Would pay that much For this devil's handgun.

Who was it?

Who was it?

You want to take the rap For him, pal? Who was it?

I think I hear elliot Coming in now.

I'll have him call you back.

Where the devil have you been?

I feel like an answering service For your crowd.

I had some business.

I mean, does it Ever occur to you

That I might have things to do That you don't arrange,

A life of my own?

My god. You're growing up.

You talked back. You showed some spunk.

Would you like a beer?

Make it a whiskey.

What's the matter, elliot?

Some girl give you the brush?

Take it from me, son. There are plenty of them around.

It's not a girl.

I've tried to do something To make myself count,

To feel important, At least in your eyes.

I'm not sure I pulled it off.

You can level with me, son.

[ doorbell ringing ]

Well, I hope this is not another Question-and-answer session.

Afraid not, mr. Bancroft. We've located your hk.

Is your son in?

Yes. In the den.

Where's the gun, elliot?

Elliot, we know that you stole Your father's hk.

We know that you shot The senator.

-are you accusing my son -- -stay out of it.

Then you ran back here,

And you threw the gun Off the cliff in back.

May I have the gun, elliot?

Things don't always work out.

You told me the next time You saw korasu, you'd kill him,

So I thought I'd do you a favor And take the credit.

Give me the gun, elliot.

You'd have pulled it off, pop, I'm sure.

I didn't, but I tried.

Elliot!

Steve.

Elliot, open up!

[ sobbing ]

Elliot. Elliot, open up.

[ knocking on door ]

My ammunition is in there.

Elliot!

All right, kimo, break it down.

[ gunshot ] [ sobbing ]

I did it for you.

Okay. Book him. Let's go.

You're not taking him.

You can't do this.

Put the gun down, mr. Bancroft.

He couldn't have known What he was doing.

It was a mistake. This'll destroy him.

If anything will destroy him, It's what you're holding.

They're always so -- so handy, Aren't they, huh,

So within reach?

Do you realize that that gun Has killed a state senator,

A young man looking For some way to be a big man,

A pretty young woman Who never knew what happened?

It almost paralyzed A little girl.

And just now, your son tried To kill himself with it.

Please don't give me That old cliché

That guns don't kill people, That only people kill people.

That's nonsense, Absolute nonsense.

If there were no handguns Available out there,

A hell of a lot of innocent People would still be alive.

What is this love affair?

What is this fascination That americans have for guns?

It happens nowhere else In the world.

When and where do the rights Of you gun lovers stop

And the rights of the public

For protection Of life and limb begin?

Answer me that.

Now look at yourself, A rational man,

Holding a weapon of death, fully Loaded, on a police officer.

Please, let's not --

Let's not do any more damage, Mr. Bancroft.

Give me the gun.

Thank you.
