All language subtitles for 06.17 Way Of The Stalking Horse

You wanna hire me?
To help me find my dad.

I'd give anything to see my dad again,
Mr. Magnum, anything.

The little guy
in this picture is Dan Wolf.

Now, all he's asking for
is an afternoon.

Hey, look. He didn't talk to me,
and I didn't talk to him.

I'm sorry,
I can't help you out.

Watch out!

You're gonna go after him,
aren't you?

T.C.: Why are you doing this?

Why don't you
let the police handle it?

Why don't we just turn around?
I don't think anybody's here.

Let her go!

Wait!

Mr. Hagen?

Sir, sir.

Mr. Hagen,

is it true you've been granted
immunity for your testimony?

No comment.

Will any charges be added to the
indictment? We have no comment.

Now back off, people.
You're obstructing.

Excuse me, sir, any comment on the allegation
that you took part in some of that...

Let's go.

All right, if everyone will calm
down, we'll give you a statement. Okay?

Now, the District Attorney's Office has
determined that our client, Mr. Hagen,

can provide evidence which may or
may not have a significant impact

in the outcome of this case.

In the event that our client's
testimony provides the DA with the basis

to prove the claims in this indictment,
Mr. Hagen will be given full immunity.

Down! Everybody, down!
Get out of the way! Move, run!

Get out of the way!

The tension mounted,
and the crowd was going wild,

as the hometown hero
stepped to the plate.

The game depended on him.

The town depended on him.
And he knew he could do it,

if only this time
he didn't lose his nerve.

If only this time...

Hey, batter batter
batter batter.

Easy out. Let's go.

If only this time
he wasn't intimidated

by the cold, steely gaze
of the pitcher.

Strike one!
Keep him swinging.

Hey, batter batter
batter batter!

Strike two!

Send that bum
back to the minors!

And suddenly he knew that this
time it would be different.

Ha!

I warned you not to pull.

Don't underestimate the power of
the machine. That's what I told you.

I know what you told me. I just got
a little carried away, that's all.

Yeah? Well, you'd better help
me carry this one into the van

before Higgins comes out
and...

Magnum! Magnum!

I'll stall him.
You get rid of Dwight Gooden, here.

Higgins,
I can explain everything.

It all started when I
was in the fourth grade.

That was the year my uncle Jim
managed our Little League team.

We had this real big game,
and we were down by one run.

It was two out, bottom of the ninth,
two men on, and I was at bat.

Casey at the Bat,
by Ernest Lawrence Thayer.

No. Me in Tidewater.

I'm not interest in hearing any
touching tales of childhood baseball

until we determine who is going to
pay for the broken window, and how.

I think once I explain
how this all came about...

I don't care how it all came about.
All I care about,

you're not leaving here
until this matter is settled!

Higgins, it's nobody's
fault, really!

Get out of
the van immediately.

Excuse me.
Did you hear me?

Excuse me. Dan Wolf,
Futurity Life lnsurance.

I am not interested
in life insurance. Good day.

Excuse me,
you don't understand.

Let me put it another way.
The answer is no. Move along, please.

Are you Thomas Magnum?
Certainly not.

I'm Thomas Magnum.
You're late, what kept you?

I beg your pardon?
What are we talking about here?

Magnum!

MAGNUM:... annuities, what?

Rick! T.C.!

Well, there's this whole line
of options that we can go over.

Magnum!

Now the big bonus for you here
is that any of these policies

can be rolled over into a completely
different package at any time,

depending on your own personal
insurance needs, of course.

And that's an important point
to keep in mind

when you're thinking
about insurance,

because not every insurance company
deals in that kind of thing.

That's okay.
Of course, it is.

Now, what I'd like to do
is kind of go over

some of the options
we were talking about.

Well, uh, that's okay.

See, to tell you
the truth,

I don't need
any insurance right now.

What am I doing?

I didn't come here to push some
insurance policy off on you.

I understand.
I mean, that's your job.

But, see, that was kind of an
awkward situation out there.

It's a long story,
but you really helped me get out of it.

But I really don't need
any insurance right now.

How about a beer?

No. Thanks.

Do you mind
if I have one?

Please, go help yourself.

You know, I come all the way
from Des Moines to Honolulu,

track down a good private investigator,
and still I can't stop myself

from trying to sell him
an insurance policy.

Well, you didn't come all the way
from Des Moines to sell me insurance.

No, no. Of course not.

You know, I don't know
where my head is sometimes.

I guess
that's one of the reasons

why I'm salesman of the month
at Futurity, huh?

I hire someone to help me with the
most important thing in my life,

and all I can think about is
trying to make another sale.

You wanna hire me?

To help me to find my dad.

You see, I haven't seen him
since I was three years old.

Come on over here,
sit down, bring your beer,

and I'll tell you
all about it.

Now, this is my dad,
Theo Wolf.

Now, this picture right here, this was the
last one taken of him before he left home.

My mother and l,
we never saw him again after that.

Doesn't look like he was too keen
on getting his picture taken.

No. No. My mom, she said that he
was always kind of self-conscious

about that sort of thing.

Well, I mean,
it doesn't matter.

Even if you had a better picture,
he'd be a lot older now.

52. He just had a birthday
a little while back.

It's funny, I never thought I'd be
looking for him. I really didn't.

But, my mom...

She passed away last year.

I'm sorry.

Oh, that's no...

Anyway,

after the funeral,
Jolene, she...

Jolene, she's an old friend
of the family, you know.

She told me what she could
have never told my mom

when she was alive.

She told me she knew for
a fact Theo was in Hawaii.

I mean, she actually ran into him
while she was on vacation here.

"Hawaii?" I said. I mean,
what do l know about Hawaii?

"Oahu," she says.

I say, "Gesundheit."

Dan, I don't think you really need me.
Oahu's not that big.

If he's here,
you should be able to find him yourself.

Now, he's not listed on Oahu, or any of
the other islands, as far as that goes.

But...

She is.

"Kim Nakamura."

Yeah. See, apparently she was with
my dad when Jolene ran into him.

Now, he introduced her as a business
associate, or something like that,

but then he rushed off like he was
making a big mistake by talking to her.

I mean, he was
real suspicious with Jolene.

Now, she jotted down
that name, just in case.

Well, that's it. I mean,
that's my only lead, that...

I spent so many years
being angry at my dad

for just up and walking out
on us the way he did.

I mean, I never thought I'd
wanna see him again, ever.

But then, after Mom died...

I guess I just realized
it wasn't true.

I'd give anything to see my dad again,
Mr. Magnum.

I mean, even if
it was just for one hour.

I know what you're thinking,
and you're right.

Dan Wolf didn't need
a private investigator.

He could as easily have tracked
down Kim Nakamura as I could.

So why was he back at my place
eating my pizza, drinking my beer,

while I was on my way to have
a talk with the mystery lady?

There are a lot of reasons
I could've come up with,

Iike taking an easy case
for a change,

Iike being able to pay for
the window I'd just broken.

Those were good reasons.

But they weren't
the real reason.

The real reason had something
to do with a young boy

wanting to spend even one hour,
just one more hour,

with his father
who had gone away.

He was Ku, the war god,

but he had many names,
and many aspects.

I thought all this
early Hawaiian stuff

was tucked away in museums
and private collections?

This is a private collection.

On the open market?

No, only the paintings.

Oh, so the artifacts
are the bait,

and the paintings, the hook?

Congratulations,
Mr. Magnum.

You've just discovered
our marketing strategy.

Who owns the mask?

Was there a particular
painting that interested you?

Well, actually,
I was more interested in the owner of...

The owner, like the collection,
wishes to remain private.

His name wouldn't be
Theo Wolf, would it?

The little guy
in this picture is Dan Wolf.

He's grown up now, but he hasn't seen
his father since that picture was taken.

Now, all he's asking for
is an afternoon,

Iong enough to shake hands
and swap a few stories.

Okay, just follow the driveway
round to the garden room

just behind the house.

Mr. Magnum? Photograph?
Don't forget to show him the photograph.

I've worked very hard
to keep a low profile.

Not many people know
where I live, Mr...

Magnum.

I'd like to keep it that way.

Well, I don't think your son
wants to take out any ads.

He just wants to see you.

What makes you so sure
he's my son, Magnum?

Oh, boy.

This was one of the good days.

One of those
few and far between,

when Danny's mother and I
weren't fighting about something.

We were at the lake, I think.

I wanted a good picture, you know,
a good picture holding Danny.

Daddy! Daddy!
I don't wanna take a nap.

Hey, big boy.

Tell Mommy
I don't have to take a nap.

Well, my goodness.

I'm sorry, Theo I didn't mean for
him to burst in on you like this.

It's all right,
it's all right.

I'll tell you what. Why don't
you go do what your mommy wants?

I'll see you later, okay?

The photograph, is it...

Yeah, it's Danny.

Perhaps it's time.

I didn't realize
she was your wife.

Yeah.

I had a lot of reasons
to leave the Mainland, Magnum.

Even so, I was very lonely here,
for a long time.

Then with Kim and the baby,

I suddenly found myself
with a new life.

I almost convinced myself that
the old Theo had never existed,

and neither had Danny.

Well, he's outside in the car.

He wanted to come along and wait,
just in case you wanted to see him.

There's a young man waiting in
the car out there. Show him in.

And for God's sake,
show him some respect. He's my son.

Danny?

Theo!

BP is 130 over 80
and holding.

Respiration and vital signs are steady.
He's on Ringer's lactate.

Type and
cross-match done?

Yes, sir.

All right, steady now, here we go.
Easy, come on, come on.

Okay,
let's get the monitors on him.

D5W standing by.

Stand by, plasma.
Six units post-op.

Cardio sigmagraph
insert complete.

BP's holding
at 130 over 80.

130 to 80 may have appeared to be
insurmountable odds to any ordinary regiment,

but they weren't counting on the
Prince of Wales' own West Yorkshire.

I was quite familiar with the
workings of the Himmelbett, and l...

Magnum?

What's the blood
pressure?

BP's stable.
Heart rate's 100.

Check the hematocrit.
He may be overcompensating.

Hey, Thomas,
you're overcompensating again.

You see, you gotta let the dames
come to you just once in a while.

You know what I mean,
sweetheart?

Confirming the entrance wound two
centimeters below the collar bone.

BP's holding at 130.

And I have to be there by 3:00
or else we'll never get the continuance.

What a day
for my car to conk out.

I don't know what I would have
done if you hadn't shown up.

Promise me you'll never
move away from here.

Cardiac arrest. Get the crash cart.

All clear!

T.C.: You're not gonna
duck out on me like this,

'cause you made me a promise,
and you're gonna keep it.

You're doing fine,
Thomas! Get me some adrenalin.

Here's 10 cc's of
adrenalin, 1 to 10,000.

All right, Thomas.
Hang in there.

Good morning.
Did you sleep well?

No.

I didn't sleep at all.

I'm in a hospital?

Yeah, since yesterday. Don't get
excited. You're going to be fine.

Thirsty.

I'll give you some ice.

Just a bit.

Okay.

How long do I have to be here?

I've got a visitor for you,

but you don't have to talk to
him unless you feel up to it.

Magnum, what do you remember
about the shooting?

Oh, hi, Lieutenant.
It's nice to see you, too.

Dr. Ibold says I'm gonna be fine.
Thanks for asking.

Do I have to ask?
A big, strong guy like you?

You could at least
go through the motions

before we talk business.

You gonna make it,
Magnum?

Dr. Ibold says I'm gonna be fine.
Thanks for asking.

Tell me about your client.

He said his name was Dan Wolf,

an insurance salesman
from Des Moines.

He said Theo Wolf
was his long-lost father.

Stalking horse.

What?

He used me
as a stalking horse,

so he could get close to Wolf
without anybody checking him out.

Did you get him?

He used your car to get away.
We found it in an alleyway downtown.

It's clean. No prints.
No trace of him.

All we've got
are two dead guys,

a clean getaway car,
four rounds from the murder weapon,

and you.

If you remember anything...

You ought to get
a tennis ball.

Bring that grip back
in no time.

I've seen guys lose a hand.

Tennis ball makes the other
hand just twice as strong.

Tennis ball, right.
Yeah.

Oh, you...
You're wondering why I'm here?

No. Well, yes.
I'm glad to see you, but...

Ethics, Magnum.
Nobody knows about ethics no more.

In the old days, there would never be this
kind of garbage, where everybody gets hit.

The guy that got hit, he got hit,
that's all. Not everybody around him.

There's no ethics.

I know you didn't come here
just to talk to me about ethics.

No, I didn't, no.
Oh, just let me talk.

All you have to do is listen.

Now, the hitter's name
is Driscoll.

Yeah.

He's new in the business,
looking to make a name for himself.

Now, he took on a contract that nobody's
been able to fulfill for 10 years.

Now, Theo Wolf...

He's been a mark ever since
he did a job in Miami.

Who's Dan Wolf?

He's an insurance salesman
from Des Moines.

He hasn't seen his father
since he was three years old,

and he doesn't
wanna see him.

However, two weeks ago,
he reported a burglary.

You know, silver, jewels,
and the family photo albums.

You slowed Driscoll down.

He's holed up from
a bullet you put in his arm.

Here's the name of the hotel.

Now, the desk clerk there,
his name's Cappie, he called me.

Now, he thinks that Driscoll is
gonna take an afternoon flight,

the late one,
to Los Angeles, today.

Kim Nakamura and her son...

She didn't blame you for this.
He just outsmarted you, that's all.

Now, do you want this,
or don't you?

Why are you doing this?

Ethics.

That piece of dirt,

he hit a friend of mine.

Theo?

I didn't know Theo Wolf.

You never saw me.

T.C.: Let me know one thing,
now, how are we gonna

get all this stuff
past the nurses' station?

Don't worry about it.
I told you, I took care of it.

Hey, Thomas, we're here.

Look alive, T.M., we're here
with the supplies.

Huh.

Tom?

Guess he went out
for a walk.

Thank you very much.
Have a nice trip.

WOMAN OVER P.A.:
Now boarding Flight 26 to Los Angeles.

Give me this bag,
please, sir.

Yeah, sure.

Any fruits, vegetables?

Sir, any fruits, plants?

Hey, Thomas,
what happened to you?

When I find you, you're gonna
have some explaining to do, pally.

What are you doing here?

That's exactly
what I was gonna ask you.

Came to pick up some things.

What do you need that they
don't have at the hospital?

I thought you and Rick would be at
the club, watching the playoffs.

No. We went
to visit a sick friend.

We were gonna play
a little joke on him,

bring him some of his favorite junk
food, but it seems the joke was on us.

Well, I can't stay in one room too long.
I get claustrophobic.

Since when?

I can't stay at the hospital
right now, T.C.

You're gonna go
after him, aren't you?

Look at you.
Why are you doing this?

Why don't you
let the police handle it?

So a guy tricked you, so what?

Is your pride so wounded that you're
willing to risk your life to go after him?

Pride's got nothing
to do with it.

Oh, no?
Then, what is this?

A five-year-old kid would
have a father right now

if I hadn't convinced Theo Wolf to meet
with a guy who was out to kill him.

You can't blame yourself
for that.

All right, what makes you
think this guy is still here?

I've seen him!

And he's seen me.

And he's not gonna leave till he
can be sure I can't identify him.

Call Tanaka.

I already have.

He knows as much
as I know.

Good,
then he'll find him.

You're gonna open that wound again,
aren't you?

You're not up to this, Thomas.

You simply cannot
go after him.

I never said I was. I'm just
looking for a change of location,

change of scenery,
till I can recuperate, that's all.

I have an emergency flight
to Maui.

Will you please leave me a number
where I can find you when I get back?

There are some things you'd
think you'd never get used to in life,

Iike being lied to,
or being shot.

But I'd noticed, over the years, that,
left to its own devices,

the mind has an amazing capacity
to accept the unacceptable.

And I never wanted
to let that happen to me,

at least not without
putting up a good fight.

I was determined to follow Ice Pick's
lead as far as it would take me,

which, at first, seemed
to be down a dead-end road.

Driscoll had checked out of the hotel,
and Cappie, the desk clerk

who'd turned him in to Ice Pick,
had suddenly disappeared.

I decided to check into the
room where Driscoll had stayed

to see if he'd been sloppy,

Ieft anything behind that
might turn me in his direction.

Dan?

Yeah?

Wait!

Wait a minute,
will you?

Leave me alone!

Let go of me!

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I just wanna talk to you.

Please.

French fries and coffee?

You sure that's
all you want?

Uh-huh.

Listen, if you could
just give me some idea

where Dan went,
it really means a lot to me.

I thought he was still there.

I wouldn't have gone back
if I thought he was gone.

You can eat that cheeseburger,
if you want.

I'm not really that hungry.

Listen, I'm not saying
that he told you

where he was going
in so many words,

but, see, I mean, you said you
brought him food and cigarettes,

you must've talked to him
about the neighborhood,

where a guy could go
to hang out if he needed to.

What happened
to your shoulder, huh?

Hey, look, he didn't talk to me,
and I didn't talk to him.

All I know about him
is his name's Dan.

I'm sorry,
I can't help you out.

Sure you can.

You can help me
eat all that food I ordered.

No appetite.

After the first time
I was wounded in Vietnam,

I'd noticed a weird, familiar
series of reactions to being shot.

I wondered if anybody'd
ever written them down,

Iike Elizabeth Kubler-Ross'
stages of death.

First there's denial,

then comes
a giddy kind of relief,

shock and surprise
at still being alive,

all the senses working
in Technicolor and hi-fi

at the joy of
actually having survived.

And then the paranoia sets in.

It's happened once,
it could happen again.

Suddenly every sound
is an approaching enemy,

every smell a lethal gas,

and no way of knowing if it's a mind
game, or a clear and present danger.

And no way of stopping the heart
from racing, the palms from sweating,

until the paranoia stage
has slipped into revenge.

Don't shoot, it's me!

What the hell
are you doing here?

I'll leave you alone.
I didn't mean nothing.

It's all right.
It's all right.

I thought
you were someone else.

Don't you know it's dangerous
to sneak up on people...

Watch out!

It's Driscoll.

Stay right here.

Mommy!

Mommy! Mommy!

Driscoll!

An uneasy feeling settled over
me as soon as Driscoll disappeared.

I was angry at myself
for losing him.

But there was something else,
something I didn't want to look at.

I'd gone looking for Driscoll
with a vengeance,

telling myself I was doing it
for Theo's five-year-old son,

but I wasn't sure anymore whether I
was doing it for the boy, or for me,

for revenge, plain and simple.

It's me.

Come on in.

Chicken soup from Wong Fat's.
Here's your change.

Chinese chicken soup?

Well, his real name's
Wong Fat Schwartz.

Why are you doing this?
And why were you following me?

Some people take care of other people,
that's their job.

Who takes care of you?

You're bleeding.

I'll be okay.

Here, let me
take a look at it.

I'll be okay.

What's your name?

Don't have one.

Oh, come on.
Well, everybody's gotta have a name.

Not me.

Well, what did they call you
in high school?

I never went.

What'd your mom call you?

You gotta be kidding me.

Well, I mean, you can't go
through life not having a name.

I mean, somebody's gotta have something
to call you when they get to know you.

I guess it just never
got to that.

Well, it just did.

What name... What name
would you like to have?

Cappie.

Well, I'm afraid
that one's already taken

by a certain
missing desk clerk.

No, I was just thinking,

why'd Cappie disappear all of a sudden,
the same time as that guy?

Driscoll.

Yeah.

Maybe he figured Driscoll was back,
and Driscoll knew somebody had to finger him,

and that same somebody
could turn him in again.

If he saw Driscoll,
he probably knows where he's hiding out.

I gotta find him.

Who's gonna tell you anything?

Look, we'd have a better
chance if I asked around.

Okay.

And don't get too close.
I don't want you scaring anybody off.

Whatever you say.

Mary Elizabeth.

I never liked my real name, but I've
always sort of liked Mary Elizabeth.

Whatever you say,
Mary Elizabeth.

Thanks a lot.

Frankie saw...

Frankie saw Cappie this morning,
when he was taking his papers,

and he went into
the Randolph building.

He noticed him
and thought it was funny,

because the Randolph building's
been deserted for years.

We'd better pick up
a flashlight. Let's go.

Wait a minute.

Cappie?

I don't think he's here.

Cappie!

Somebody's here.

Cappie? It's me.

Maybe it was just some rats.

Why don't we
get out of here, you know,

come back tomorrow
or something?

See, there's nobody
down here.

Why don't we just turn around?
I think they were wrong.

I don't think
anybody's here.

I don't like it
down here at all.

I can't even breathe anymore.

It's spooky.

Cappie!

Wait!

Mary Elizabeth!

No!

Let her go!

Go to hell, Magnum.

After the feelings of
revenge left, came the healing.

That's what
had always happened before.

But this time
something was different.

And although
I didn't want to admit it,

I knew what it was.

I'd said I was going after
Driscoll for justice,

but when I pulled that trigger, I wasn't
sure if it was for justice, or for me.

Magnum?

No more tea, Higgins.
I'm mending as fast as I can.

I wasn't going
to offer you any.

There's someone here
to see you.

I wanna thank you for finding
the man who killed my husband.

I understand you had a
young girl who helped you.

I wish you'd give her
something for me.

I don't know what a young girl living on the
streets would do with something like this,

but it was the most precious gift
my husband ever gave our son,

and I'd like her to have it.

Tell her, I said, "Thank you,"

and to come
and see me any time.

Her name is Mary Elizabeth.

Mary Elizabeth.

I'll remember.
