All language subtitles for Hawaii 5-O s08e23 A Killer Grows Wings.eng

Hey, what are you doing here?

Oh, hello.
Are you the owner of this plantation?

I'm the manager.

Well, it's a good thing
you came along.

Come and take a look at this.

- Who are you?
- Well, my name's Weatherby.

I'm here with a visiting
Australian scientific mission,

studying pest control.

I'm an entomologist.

You're on private property,
Mr. Weatherby.

Oh, I was told no one would mind
if I poked around here a little.

Well, you were told wrong.

There, take a look at that.

I'm very much afraid, sir,
that your cane field is infested.

This will have to be reported
to the Experimental Station

as soon as possible.

That parasite there could spread
throughout the entire islands.

Now don't bother, Weatherby.
I'll handle it.

Oh, no problem, sir.

I'm about to leave now,

and I'll just take this back
to Dr. Maitland...

- What have we got, Danno?
- Dr. Lan Weatherby.

From what I can piece together,
he was a prominent entomologist.

Consultant
to Australian cane growers

and a professor
at Queensland University.

What was he doing in Hawaii?

Inspection trip,
studying our pest-control methods.

The rest of his party
flew home yesterday.

Hold it, fellas.

Skull fracture, huh?

- Okay.
- Apparently the motive wasn't robbery.

Found money, traveler's checks,
airlines tickets, all on the body.

- What about the wagon?
- Rented.

All right, Danno.
Contact Queensland University.

Try to find out
why he stayed on alone.

- And see if he knew anyone locally.
- Right.

Mr. Chadwick.

I thought I told you
never to come here.

I had to see you. Alone.

All right. Go on back to the hotel.
I'll call you when I need you.

I came across a man in the cane field
where the larvae colony's planted.

He discovered the infestation.

Who was he?

An Australian entomologist
named Weatherby.

He was gonna report his find.

I tried to stop him, he wouldn't listen.

I killed him.

- Well, you stup...
- I had no choice.

No choice?

Why didn't you bring him here
to me?

- Did anyone see this?
- No.

And I moved the body
from the cane field to Kalani Point.

It's 15 miles from the plantation.

Well.

Finally shown a spark of imagination,
Mr. Chadwick.

I did what I had to do.

You're sure no one saw you
or Weatherby?

Would I be here if they had?

You never told me this.
I don't know anything about it.

- You understand?
- Yes.

When is your meeting
with Mrs. Holbrook?

This afternoon.

We're almost home.

Make sure her commitment is firm.

Am I early?

No, I'll be with you in a minute.

Take him away, Kono.

I suppose you've come
for my decision.

If you've made one.

I thought about it very hard.

I don't wanna sell.

But it doesn't look as though
I have much choice.

Frankly, Mrs. Holbrook,
that's the way I see it.

You know,
it is really hard to understand

how a business could go downhill
so fast in such a short time.

There are lots of reasons.

Your husband left debts.
There's the inheritance tax.

And the sugar market's
been very unsettled.

I know.
You've shown me the figures.

- If you'd care to go over them again...?
- No, it's too depressing.

I'm not much at figures, anyway.

If only Matt was still alive,

we'd work it out somehow.

I can't do it alone.
I just don't know enough.

Does that mean
you'll accept Mr. Vadney's offer?

Yes, damn it. I'll accept.

I don't think you'll regret it,
Mrs. Holbrook.

That's it, Steve.

- Nothing else in the closet?
- Dr. Weatherby travels light.

Yeah, too light.

Weatherby was a scientist.

He was collecting data
for an official report.

Now, where are his notebooks?
His field-test equipment?

I checked with the desk downstairs.

There's nothing of Weatherby's
in the baggage room.

All right, Danno.
Get over to Customs.

Find out if they cleared
any kind of scientific equipment

when Weatherby came through.

Right.

Steve, Dr. Weatherby
rented the station wagon

at 10 a.m. Yesterday.
Aloha Car Rental, Waikiki.

Just be sure they get it back
after the lab work is finished.

Okay.

Lukela. Yes, he's here.

Steve. It's Che.

- Yes, Che.
- Checked out the red-soil samples

on Dr. Weatherby's boots.

Typical plantation-type soil.

But that's not the important thing.

There's a peculiar larvae
in this soil sample.

Looks to me like a species
of sugar pest.

But it didn't match up
with any known Hawaiian variety.

I'd like to send them over
to the entomology lab,

Experiment Station.

- Oh, yeah. You mean to Dr. Maitland?
- That's right.

No, Danno.
Nope, doesn't make any sense.

Weatherby checks through customs
with an agricultural field kit.

Later, his body is found
out near Kalani Point,

but the kit isn't with him. Why?

It's his first visit to the islands.
No record of any enemies.

And he wasn't robbed.

But there he was
with his head bashed in.

The snakes are loose, Steve.

Maybe it's just somebody
looking for something to kill

and Weatherby walked into it.

But if it was a random kill, Danno,
why did they get rid of the field kit?

- Maybe it's valuable.
- To whom?

The killer would have to know
what it was.

And if he stole the kit,
why not the wallet

with $150 American in it?

No.

No, that missing kit tells me

that whoever killed Weatherby
knew what his work was.

But he was just a harmless
bug-watcher.

Still no motive.

Then we'll have to come up
with one.

I want his picture circulated
to every sugar plantation on the island.

I wanna know who saw him
in the last 24 hours.

Then maybe we can get a fix
on where the killing actually took place.

Right.

McGarrett.

Oh, yes, Dr. Maitland.

When?

Thank you. I'm on my way.

Emmalocera depressella.

"Emmalocera depressella"?

- What's that, doctor?
- Take a look.

It's a sugar-cane borer moth.
A militant variety.

It attacks the root of the cane.

And this is what Che Fong
found on Weatherby's boots.

Yes.

- Is the moth native to Hawaii?
- No.

This particular variety was discovered
on Mauritius about two years ago.

Then it could hardly
have migrated here.

That's right.
It would have to be brought in.

Do you think Weatherby
could have brought it in his luggage

or his gear unknowingly?

I hardly think so.

You see, it wouldn't be consistent
with the incubation cycle.

How dangerous is it
to the sugar crop, doctor?

On Mauritius, the last two crops
were completely wiped out.

Well, what about controls?

There's no effective insecticide.

And apparently, this militant strain
has no natural enemies.

How long would it take
to find a control?

That would be impossible to guess.

When the reef hopper invaded Hawaii,
it took 23 years to stamp out.

These pests are capable of destroying
every stalk of cane in the infested field.

Could it spread to other plantations?

That's very possible.

How much time do we have,
doctor?

- Before the larvae mature?
- Yeah.

I'd say roughly three days.

- Three days?
- That's right.

Steve,
we have to find that infested crop

and we have to burn them out.

And the only one who could tell us
where that field was is a dead man.

As a friend as well as an employee
of your husband's, Mrs. Holbrook,

I'm sure he'd approve
of what you're doing.

Mr. Chadwick, I wish that were so,

but I really don't think
he's given it much thought.

Hello, Mrs. Holbrook.
Nice to see you again.

It's nice to see you too, Mr. Vadney.

Please, sit down.

- How was your trip to San Francisco?
- Productive.

At least the buyers
are all finally in agreement.

Mr. Chadwick
has never told me very much

about the investors
that you represent.

I'd like to know something
about the people I'm selling to.

Surely.
They're all from the mainland.

There's Henry Wilson, a car dealer,

Jim Forest,
who is a toy manufacturer,

Hal Senly,
who is a restaurant owner.

You know the type.
Well-off. Respectable.

I think what they'd like
to be able to do

is tell their friends they own
a sugar plantation in the islands.

With them it's a prestige thing
as well as a business.

What about the people
that work on the plantation?

Many of them have been here
all their lives.

Nothing will change.
You have my word.

They'll all stay on.

Thank you for that.

Would you like to look
over the agreement again?

No, I've been over it with my lawyer.

- There's one thing I don't understand.
- What's that, Mr. Holbrook?

Why hasn't there been
any specific sale price mentioned?

Why is it called
a conditional sales contract?

Oh, that's easy to explain.

Since the plantation is so large

and has been in the family
for generations,

it would be extremely difficult
for us alone

to establish a fair selling price.

So we're leaving that
to a team of experts

that Mr. Vadney and I
have mutually agreed upon.

They're all bonded agents.

In addition to the buildings
and equipment,

the appraisal will be based
on the fair market value

of cane producing land.

It's as simple as that.

Well,

I guess that brings us
to the moment of truth.

Yes, Mrs. Holbrook.

Four copies, please.

You wanted to see me?

Get in.

Where did you get this?

It was distributed
to all the cane growers

by a Dr. Maitland
at the Experimental Station.

- How did they find out about it?
- I can't explain it.

But according to that,
they don't know where the colony is.

The growers have simply been warned
to be on the alert.

I want to know how the people
at the Experimental Station

found out about the larvae.
It's important.

I suggest you talk to this Dr. Maitland.
You have a legitimate reason.

- Chadwick.
- Sir?

Be careful what you say.
No more mistakes.

You can understand our concern,
doctor.

When you consider
that Mrs. Holbrook

is in the process
of selling the Koolau plantation,

this could seriously affect
the value of the property.

Of course. And I wish
I could be more encouraging.

All we know is
Dr. Weatherby picked up the larvae

somewhere in the islands.

- Picked up?
- On the soles of his boots.

But we don't know where.

Oh, well, have you considered
dusting the fields?

Mr. Chadwick,

even if we had an effective insecticide
for these particular pests,

which we don't,

you can see the impossibility

of dusting a quarter million
acres of cane

- on the faint chance...
- Yes. Yes, I see what you mean.

Our other weapon, biological control,
would take years to establish.

I'm afraid our only real hope
is to pinpoint the area of infestation.

Yes. Well,
I appreciate your seeing me, doctor.

Not at all.

Hello, officer. Was I speeding?

No, lady, but your vehicle
has no license plate.

Hello, Kate.

- Good to see you.
- It's good to see you.

What are you doing way out here?

Legwork.

You ever see this man before?

No. I don't think so.
Is he on your most-wanted list?

No, as a matter of fact,
he's in the morgue.

He's an Australian entomologist.

He was here on a study
of our cane-field pests.

Apparently,
he was onto something big,

something
that might have gotten him killed.

- What made you think I know him?
- I don't.

He was tramping around someone's
field just before he was killed.

We picked up the larvae
of the borer moth on his boots.

So you know what that could mean.

If we don't catch it in time,
an entire cane crop can be lost.

Well, he could have been here
without my knowing it.

Why, that means
I couldn't go through with the sale.

- Not until I know.
- What sale?

I've decided to sell the plantation.
It's too much for me without Matt.

- Who's the buyer?
- A man named Vadney.

He represents a group
from the mainland.

My plantation manager,
Warren Chadwick, found them.

They seem responsible.

There was some rumors
around the Pacific Club

that you were gonna sell out
to Sam Patton.

Matt detested that man.

I'd burn this place to the ground
before I'd sell to him.

He's not a builder. He's a crook.

Yeah, I've had some go-arounds
with Patton myself.

Attempted bribery
of the planning commission.

He claims to be a land developer,

but what he really does
is exploit loopholes in the law

and then deface the land.

Well, I hope you fix his wagon.

First, we've gotta plug the loopholes,
then we'll get him.

I'm gonna leave this picture with you,
Kate.

Please show it to your employees,
especially your fieldworkers.

If any of them think
they've seen Weatherby,

call me immediately.

Will do, Steve.

Central to McGarrett.

- Yeah, McGarrett.
- Steve? Danny.

Chin and I are at a service station
on Mahakalani Road.

- I think we got something.
- What is it, Danno?

The lady who runs the station
recognizes Weatherby from his photo.

He stopped here for gas.

Can she remember the time?

No, sometime between 11 and 12 a.m.
Yesterday.

And she identified the vehicle?

It fits.
Blue, late-model station wagon.

Good work, Danno. Good work.

See if you can pinpoint the time
any closer.

Time is a very important element

if we're gonna nail down
Weatherby's movements yesterday.

Right, Steve.

- Mr. Chadwick?
- Yes?

I think I'd like to take a drive
with you.

- What?
- And maybe stop at your bank.

What are you talking about?

A blue station wagon, Mr. Chadwick.

And what went on
at the South Field Road at Koolau

the day that man was killed.

Miss Holbrook says
Five-0 wants to know

if anybody seen anything that day.

You think I should tell Mr. McGarrett
what I see?

We can't talk here. Get in the car.

Call it in.

At 8 a.m.,
Weatherby left the llikai Hotel here.

According to the desk clerk,
he had a field pack with him.

Now, at 10:00,

he rented a blue station wagon
from the Aloha Car Rental Company.

Right here.

Sometime between 11 and 12 noon,

he stopped here at Waipio
to buy gasoline.

At 4:35 p.m.,

his body was found here
at Kalani Point.

But according to our forensic team,

he was killed somewhere else
and his body dumped here.

Obviously the killer didn't want anyone
to find out where the killing took place.

Exactly.

Now, the coroner has determined
that time of death

was somewhere around 3:30.

So in that time interval
of an hour to an hour and a half,

Weatherby was killed
and taken to Kalani Point.

Now,
within the perimeter of this triangle,

we have roughly
a dozen sugar plantations.

From now on
we'll concentrate our search

within this area.

I want every fieldworker questioned.

If anyone saw Weatherby
or even think he saw him,

I wanna know about it.

Any questions?

All right, Officer Kelly
will assign specific areas

for each of you to cover. Thank you.

You know, Steve, it'd be a lot easier
if we could come up with a motive.

Wait a minute, Danno.

- Maybe you hit something.
- What do you mean?

Maybe in our quest for a motive,
we've overlooked the obvious.

I don't follow you.

Suppose that the killer's motive
was simply to stop Weatherby

from reporting his discovery
of that infested cane?

Why would he wanna do that?

Are you saying somebody wants
to see the cane crop destroyed?

Why not? It's possible.

If there were something more valuable
at stake.

You lost me again.

- The land.
- Yeah. Yeah, the land.

What do you think the loss of that crop
would do to the value of that land?

It would cut it in half, at least.

Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

Now, within this perimeter,

there are roughly a dozen plantations
and only one that I know of for sale.

- Koolau.
- Yeah. Kate Holbrook's place.

His name is Gomez.

He was a field hand
at the Koolau plantation.

Have you determined
cause of death?

Most likely drowning,

but look here
at this deep contusion on the forehead.

Any way to tell whether he got it
before or after drowning?

I'll have a better idea
when I complete the autopsy.

Thanks, doc.

- Steve?
- Yeah, Danno.

Here's the file on Warren Chadwick.

Speculates in land development,
I see.

And not too successfully,
according to that report.

Oh, I see where he just paid off
a $100,000 note

to Island Security Trust Company.

Just got under the wire.

Island Security was about to throw him
into bankruptcy.

- How was the payment made?
- Cash.

I'd be interested to know
how a guy like that

came up with that much loot.

Well, the good fairy
didn't put it under his pillow.

Yeah.

Steve, H.P.D. Pulled the body
of a cane-field worker

out of the water this morning.

The cause of death is up for grabs.
But he worked at the Koolau.

Koolau plantation again.

Gentlemen, I think it's time
we had Mr. Chadwick in

for an informal chat.

Right, Steve.

I just talked
to the San Francisco P.D., Steve.

They're running Vadney
through the computer.

We should be hearing something
later today.

What about his phone calls?

Some of them made to...
Guess who.

Sam Patton.

I had a feeling
his name would surface somewhere.

- Warren Chadwick?
- Yeah.

Steve McGarrett at Five-0
wants to talk to you.

- About what?
- I'm afraid he didn't confide in us.

Very well. My car is right over there.

Oh, we'll be happy to drive you.

All right.

Well, it's a simple question,
Mr. Chadwick.

I just like to know
how the manager of a sugar plantation

can come up with $100,000 in cash
to pay off a bank loan?

I don't have to answer that.

No, Mr. Chadwick,
you don't have to answer it.

Which would lead me
to wonder why not.

All right.

I cashed in some bearer bonds

that I had in a safety-deposit box
for emergencies.

- Where do you bank?
- At the Oahu National.

When did you cash
the bearer bonds?

About two days
before I paid off the loan.

Then the bank would have a record
of your visit to the safe-deposit box

and the serial number of the bonds,
wouldn't they?

Unless they've lost it.

Lost it? No. Not likely.

Have you any business association

with a man
by the name of Sam Patton?

That is none of your business.

Mr. Chadwick,
let me explain something.

We are investigating a murder.

So far the evidence
has led to the Koolau plantation.

You manage that plantation.

So everything about you
at the moment is my business.

Is that clear?

Look, McGarrett,
I'm not answering any more questions.

If you wanna ask any more,
get a subpoena.

That's exactly what I intend to do.

- What do you think, Steve?
- I think he's guilty as hell.

I think Sam Patton gave him
that $100,000 to pay off the note.

And I think he gave it to him
for services rendered.

Want me to check
that bank visit he made?

You bet, Danno.

But we'll need more than that
to nail this bird.

Because I wanna get Patton
as well as Chadwick.

Patton is in this up to his elbows.

Well, Mr. Chadwick,
have you had a pleasant afternoon?

Oh, you didn't call me here
to ask me that.

Well, do you have any objection
to answering?

No, why should I?

I'll tell you why.

I make it a point to know everything

about the people
with whom I associate.

Especially when it has to do with
land on which I plan to build

a $30-million resort village.

Now, let's get to the point.

You just left Five-0.

Why were you there?

What did you and McGarrett
talk about?

He wanted to know
where I got the money

to pay off the note.

And what did you tell him?

I told him that I cashed in
some bearer bonds

that I had stashed away
in a safety-deposit box.

Those bonds can be traced to me.

Not if I keep my mouth shut.

Well, make sure you do.

Where can I find you
later this afternoon?

I'll be at the plantation office.

Get me Nick Kahana.

Just keep driving.

Look, if you'll just let me
call Mr. Patton and talk to him...

Steve, just got a telex
from San Francisco P.D. On Vadney.

He doesn't have a record, but there's
a lot of fraying around the edges.

Yeah.

Two arrests.
One for fraud, the other forgery.

Both cases dismissed
for lack of evidence.

- Translation: He had a smart lawyer.
- Yeah.

And look at the readout
on the investors

he's supposed to represent.

But San Francisco P.D. Can't come up
with anything on any of them.

Which means they must be phony,
huh?

What do you wanna bet
that if they were all rolled into one,

they'd spell Sam Patton?

How do we prove it?

We've gotta get somebody to talk.

What about Vadney, Steve?

Well, I'm not sure
how much he knows,

but I may have a way to find out.

Get me Kate Holbrook, please.

- Hello, Mr. Vadney.
- Mrs. Holbrook.

Thank you for coming.
Please, sit down.

All right.

I had a very important reason
for asking you here.

Mr. Vadney, have you heard
about the borer moth?

I was informed about it this morning.
Have they found out where it is?

No, but it could just as well be here
as anywhere else.

Let's hope not, Mrs. Holbrook.

Mr. Vadney, I want you to know
that if the infestation is found here,

I'll promptly release you
from our agreement.

That won't be necessary,
Mrs. Holbrook.

But it's possible that the fields
won't produce for years.

Frankly, I don't think
that would discourage my people.

Obviously,
the land would have to be appraised

at considerably less
than its present value.

But I don't understand.

I thought your people were interested
in buying a sugar plantation.

Let's say
that was their original interests.

And now?

You must be aware, Mrs. Holbrook,
that your land has a value

even if it it's not used
to produce sugar.

And, of course,
a bargain is a bargain.

Would you be thinking
of turning Koolau

into a housing development?

Possibly.

Is there any way
I can dissuade you?

No way I can think of.

Mr. Vadney, I don't suppose
what you're doing in all this is illegal,

but it certainly makes you
into a Grade A number-one fink.

Good day, sir.

Is that what you wanted to hear?

Yes. Yes, and thank you.

No, Steve, thank you.

We haven't caught them yet.

Well, my money's on you.

- Danno?
- Yes, Steve?

- Pick him up.
- Will do.

What's the meaning of this?
What do you want?

Five-0, Mr. Vadney.
Steve McGarrett would like to see you.

All right, Mr. Vadney,

I suggest that you carefully examine
your position.

Two people are dead,
and we're convinced that both deaths

are directly connected with the sale
of the Koolau plantation.

Now, if we should find out
that you are in any way involved,

you can be charged with two counts
of complicity in murder.

McGarrett, I don't know anything
about those two murders.

I swear that I don't.

You know the purchase of the Koolau?
You were involved in that?

I told you about that.

It's true that I lied

about representing people
on the mainland.

But that's not a crime, is it?
It's just a business.

It's the only way
we could get Mrs. Holbrook to sell.

Whom do you represent, Mr. Vadney?
Who's behind all this?

Why don't you ask Chadwick
those questions?

He knows the answers. I don't.

I have a patched call from Chin
for you, Steve.

Yes, Chin. Go ahead.

Steve, I'm at the Malahani quarry.

H.P.D. Found
Warren Chadwick's car here

at the bottom of a hundred-foot cliff.

He's dead?

Thank you, Chin.

I'm afraid Mr. Chadwick
will not be available for questioning.

They just found his body
at the bottom of a quarry.

Oh, no.

Does death shock you, Mr. Vadney?

Because that's what often happens
to people

who are involved with Sam Patton.

All right,
you can come with me now.

We need somebody
to identify the body at the morgue.

All right, McGarrett.

But I want on the record
that I'm cooperating with you.

I don't wanna be charged
with murder.

I'll bring that to the attention
of the district attorney

when you sign a formal statement,
but right now...

Right now I wanna know
exactly where on the Koolau plantation

that larvae colony was planted.

I don't know.

The only two people that knew that

were Warren Chadwick
and Sam Patton.

- Patton knows?
- Yes. He brought the larvae in.

He flew it in from Australia
on a private plane.

Duke,

escort Mr. Vadney
to the district attorney's office.

Tell Manicote that he's ready
to make a statement.

All right, let's go.

We've got a problem, Steve.

If Sam Patton is the only one

who knows where those bugs
are planted...

Let's see if we can smoke him out.

Get me Dr. Maitland, please.

I thought this might interest you,
Mr. Patton.

- I'll be back in an hour.
- Yes, Mr. Patton.

I'll take one of the cars
from the pool.

Think Patton bought
that phony bulletin, Steve?

I sure hope so, Danno.
It may be our last chance.

Steve? Chin.

- Yeah, Chin.
- I've got Patton's car spotted, Steve.

He took the bait.
What's his location?

Kalana Highway, two miles east
of the South Field Road.

He's only about five minutes
behind you.

- What is he driving?
- A tan Ford, four-door sedan.

Okay, Chin. I've got it.

Now we're gonna pull off the road
and wait for him.

Keep me posted on his position
and if he changes direction.

Will do.

Duke? McGarrett. Come in.

- Yes, Steve?
- Looks like Patton is on his way.

How are things at your end?

We're all set to go.

All right.
Stand by until I give you the location.

Right.

He's turned off the main road,
Steve.

About a half a mile ahead of you.

He'll pass you in a minute, Steve.

Yeah, we have him in sight now, Chin.
Thank you.

Okay, Chin, we'll take it from here.

There he is, Danno.

It was right in here.

Right over here, I think.

This is a cane he pulled.
Look at that.

Yeah, the bugs.

About to sprout wings. Let's go.

Let's see where we are.

Section K-23. Let's go.

- Duke, you there?
- Here, Danny.
