Flight 16 now unloading at gate 3.

Will Mr. Harry brown please report

to the passenger information center?

Mr. Harry brown,

please report to the passenger information center.

Why don't you freshen up your lipstick?

I'll see you later.

Aloha.

Aloha, yourself, baby. The name's Harry brown.

You got something for me?

Announcing the departure of mainliner flight 119

for Los Angeles and Chicago,

now ready for boarding at gate nine.

Hold it.

Five-o. You're under arrest.

[ Women screaming ]

[ "Hawaii five-o" theme plays ]

Real name John warnash, also known as John zecki

and George black.

No previous alias as Harry k. Brown.

Okay, danno, let's go over it again.

Go.

Warnash is a moderate drinker, flashy dresser,

makes a hobby of collecting women.

3-time loser.

Five years ago he was paroled from San Quentin.

He also did time at?

Oh, yeah. Jackson and joliet.

After his parole from San Quentin?

He's been somewhere in the far east.

Expert safecracker, top nitro man.

Not only an expert, one of the best in the world.

He's never made a hit under half a million dollars.

Doesn't make it any easier.

I cracked a few safes for naval intelligence,

but as a professional, I'd starve.

What's a top box man like warnash

doing here in Hawaii, Steve?

That's what our assignment is, danno.

[ Knock on door ]

Anything?

Checked out the money in the locker.

$20,000 -- all legit.

Unmarked, no records of the numbers, untraceable.

Did you try it under black light?

Sure did. Still no marks.

What about the hotel registration on the big island?

Made two days ago by cablegram.

Kono?

Not a word in the streets, boss.

Harry k. Brown.

Okay, gentlemen, we go.

Welcome to the maunaloa hotel, Mr. Brown.

We have your room for you.

How's the action around this place?

Sir, we like to think of the maunaloa

as the place where the action is --

swimming, shuffleboard, ping-pong.

Tuesdays and Thursdays we have hula lessons.

Well, I see what you mean.

[ Ding ]

Thanks, pal.

[ Knock on door ]

Reach.

Back up. Get over there.

Go on. Get over here.

Hands slack, your feet spread.

Pull your sleeve up.

Happy?

Sit down.

You're late, brown. What happened to you?

If you put that away, maybe we can talk.

The man is paying you top dollar.

You show up when he says and where he says.

So I missed the 11:00 plane.

Why?

I stopped for a couple of drinks.

I, uh, met a friend.

It got late.

I decided to fly up this morning.

Is that so terrible?

Oh. What's her name?

Cynthia -- Cynthia fredericks.

Address.

It's in the bag.

Get it.

Get it.

Okay, genius, sit down. Your turn.

Now straight talk, or in five minutes

the hotel fuzz will be up here

asking about the dead man I shot, rifling my room.

The man isn't going to like this.

The man wants me checked, he checks himself.

Get him for me.

Look, brown, you don't seem to get the message.

This caper is a one-way contact only.

I don't know where the man is

or who he is or what he is.

He lets us know.

No. Not with me, he doesn't. I split first.

Not with 20 grand of his dough in your pocket.

What's your name, genius?

Swanson.

You got a big mouth, Swanson. You know that?

[ Whistles ]

Hey, I'll remember you said that.

You ready?

You going somewhere?

If you want to get off this island alive,

then put the hardware away and follow me.

Where we going?

You'll find out when you get there.

Nice pad.

One thing I'll say for the man, he's got good taste.

Except for one thing -- he hired you.

Keep it up, baby.

You are brown?

Yeah. Who are you?

Andre moric.

Is this the whole welcoming committee?

What do you expect, chimes?

That's enough, Carl.

We have to work together. There must be complete Harmony.

And that will go for you, too, brown.

I don't need to hold hands with anybody to do my job,

that is, if I ever find out what it's going to be.

You'll learn in due time, Mr. Brown.

Are you in on this?

I am.

That's what I call class --

real class.

Well, I can see that you're not the man.

And I can see that you talk too much.

Wait till you get to know me a little better.

In the meantime, how do you fit into this?

Let's just say I fit in.

Okay. If I decide to stick around,

maybe you'll, uh, educate me, huh?

As for educating you, Mr. Brown,

I think you better listen to this.

[ Distorted voice ] While this is specifically for your ears, Mr. Brown,

it will do no harm to let the others hear also.

I want you to know that I've been privy

to everything that happened in your room at the maunaloa

between you and Swanson. I have all the facts

that you gave as to why you were late

and what you have been doing. I am going to check them out.

Meanwhile, let me tell you this --

until further notice, you're to stay there

at the beach house with the others.

I'm paying for a box man, not a lover.

For the next week, I own you.

If you should step out of line again,

you're a dead man.

[ Shutter clicks ]

How about a toast to the man, huh?

I've been hearing a lot about the man.

Maybe it's time somebody said who he is.

[ Shutter clicking ]

If Swanson's running the show,

I'd just as soon walk right now.

I'm not running anything.

And nobody's walking.

Swanson's an expert electrician, period.

How about you, frenchy? You the man?

I am the man... For the torch, X-ray, and saw.

That's all, brown.

What about you, baby? How do you fit in?

I work for kwan ling,

who is on a diplomatic mission in Hawaii.

He the man?

It is my cover, that's all.

And that's all you know.

I know what the man tells us.

All right, to the man.

We don't know who he is, where he is, what he is.

He never shows, but he gives orders.

How? Phone, tape, letters.

Only nobody ever sees him, and I don't like it.

That's tough.

You were contacted. You made your deal.

The one hit in a lifetime, brown.

For a guaranteed payoff

of $1 million...

Split four ways.

That I like.

[ Engine turns over ]

Steve has made his contact.

He's in rendezvous with at least three others.

We presume they are engaged in the same operation.

How tight is his cover up to now?

So far, Steve's okay.

He made his first contact at the hotel

and was taken to the rendezvous point.

But you've made no direct contact with mcgarrett?

So far not possible, sir.

Any leads on the beach house?

It was rented a month ago by one Hiro tagati,

residence -- Tokyo.

Paid for six months in advance, all cash.

You've checked on this Mr. Tagati?

Wayne did, sir.

So far, our Tokyo agents have been unable to locate

anyone operating under that name.

What about the two men? The one at the beach house?

Steve's contact at the hotel

who called himself Swanson.

We got that from the tape of the bug we planted in his room.

That's all we know about him.

The girl.

Her name's margi carstairs.

Came here a week ago, attached to the entourage

of a diplomatic emissary by the name of kwan ling.

Is he involved?

If he is, he has diplomatic immunity.

We'll never be able to touch him.

All right, what else, Danny?

We picked up prints of Swanson from his hotel room.

They've been radio-photoed to Washington

for a possible file check.

I took these pictures with a long lens

from a fishing boat offshore.

Copies have been sent to Washington

for possible identification and file check.

Hold it, brown!

What is going on with the two of you now?

Ask this stupid jerk.

I'm asking both of you.

He's what I told you -- he's a spy.

He's an informer. I caught him at it.

Why don't you keep your crummy mouth shut?

I said hold it.

All right, ask him what he's talking about.

I caught him going through that envelope.

Why shouldn't I?

Laying here, nobody's name on it.

Margi.

Okay, baby.

He's right -- there's no name,

no identification.

The man has sent us his next message

about the hit.

Looks like some kind of a ship.

You're the expert, Andre. What is that?

It is a ship.

Very special job.

About the size of a coast guard cutter.

Well, that's where we're going to hit then -- the ship.

Doesn't figure.

Ships' boxes come with zippers.

Any local yokel can open the best of them

with a screwdriver.

Man doesn't need me for a hit like that.

Perhaps this will give us some kind of a clue.

You have now received blueprints

which contain every bit of information

you might possibly need as to the place of the operation.

The name of the ship is the enetia.

You will not have to locate her. She is located for you.

You will study her and orient the blueprints --

[ stops tape ] Enetia?

Yeah, do you know her?

Of course.

The enetia's kwan ling's ship,

the man I work for.

And your boss is a diplomat?

What could be aboard a diplomatic ship

that we could make a hit on?

State papers maybe?

Microfilm?

Perhaps if you'd listen to the rest of this,

we might find out.

...to the ship itself.

Memorize every passage, every foot of her,

fore and aft.

You will start that work this morning.

This noon at precisely 2:00,

you will drop the lady at the rendezvous area.

For the rest of the day,

you will make the necessary contacts

and the necessary purchases.

You have already been informed

what will be required in the operation.

When that has been completed,

you will return to the house,

where further instructions will be given you.

Well...

We're in business at last.

There she is.

Some tub. My mouth is beginning to water.

For what, genius?

We still don't know what we're after.

I could care less.

Whatever it is, we'll get it.

Once we get the payoff, we'll have the world by the tail.

Gentlemen, we take one step at a time.

First we get the tools,

then we wait for the work.

I still don't like the way this job is being run.

Forgetting about the job, what about the payoff?

Do you believe in that?

I only believe in what I can hold in my hands, baby.

But like frenchy said,

we take it one step at a time.

I'll see you back at the house.

Wait a minute, baby.

Just so you don't forget, from Harry k. With love.

Come on, brown, we got things to do.

Not with me you don't, pretty boy.

Run along and do your little errands by yourself.

I work solo, remember?

You sure you know what to do?

If I don't, it's my head, right?

See you back at the house.

Once around the coast road, buddy.

Okay, sir.

Just hold it here, buddy.

[ Applause ]

Anything from Washington?

Drawing a blank all up and down the line.

Well, I've briefed kono on what I know.

The hit's going to be on kwan ling's yacht.

That will be quite a job.

What do you mean?

Made a routine check

when we learned the girl's identity.

Kwan ling's got a private army

standing watch around the clock.

Well, whosever behind this caper

has a way figured, you can bet on that.

What's our next move?

I've got to make a contact and be back by 2:00.

Contact with whom?

I haven't been told,

but there's only one possible answer.

Like what?

A nitro man.

You don't know where, how, or who.

How do you make a contact?

I got a sealed envelope with a lighter in it.

That's the only clue.

What can we do to help?

Just keep those cards and letters coming in, buddy.

Maunaloa hotel, buddy.

Excuse me.

Could I bother you for a light, please?

Yeah, sure. Got one right here.

Thanks.

Too windy, I guess.

Nice lighter you've got there.

Where did you get it?

Would it mean anything if I said a place called brown's?

Mcgarrett!

Steve mcgarrett, how you doing?

Mcgarrett, huh?

All right, fuzz,

freeze right there.

You suckered me.

No Harry k. Brown.

Just fuzz.

Just don't make any sudden moves, pal.

There's nitro in this band, remember?

Tell me about it.

I carried it a long way to a lousy cop.

End of the line, pal.

That's right -- for you.

One move, one jar,

wipes us all out.

Now give me that gun.

I said give me that gun.

Thanks, kono. Get him out of here and book him.

Sorry, Steve.

For a hotel security cop,

that was a pretty dumb move.

Forget it, Brad, forget it.

To you, baby.

I like your style, Harry k. Brown.

Would you rather that I called you

by your real name?

Forget it, baby.

You're not afraid of me?

No, it's just business.

Tomorrow, next week, one of us might get tagged.

The less we know about each other, the better.

Somewhere in this world people trust people.

Who do you trust?

I could trust you...

If you'd let me.

You sure?

Why not?

What do you want to know?

Who the man is.

I don't know.

You don't know, or you're not saying?

You really don't trust people, do you?

It's not that.

It's just that I can't figure you in on this caper.

[ Giggles ]

You mean, what is a nice girl like me

doing on a job like this?

Something like that.

Well, I'll tell you.

This nice little girl has finally got a big one.

No more small deals, no more dives.

From now on, it's cannes, portofino, Saint-tropez,

here I come.

Have you ever thought

that sometimes this world can be harder on a woman than a man?

Yeah.

Yeah, sometimes.

Underneath what we grow up to be,

I suppose there's just a little girl in all of us,

looking out...

Wondering why people turn

into such frightening, misshaped monsters?

And then one day you look and you're one of those people.

You're one of those frightening, misshaped monsters --

crowding, destroying, doing anything to stay alive.

Come on, baby.

We were talking moonlight and orchids, remember?

You don't dig what I was talking about, do you?

Harry, you don't dig it at all.

Maybe not.

But I dig you, baby.

I dig you.

You have exactly eight minutes to get those cylinders

out of the box -- eight minutes.

If the box is open longer, an alarm goes off,

and you're dead men.

Now, the time of the hit -- 11:00 tonight.

Repeating, 11:00 tonight.

Eight minutes? He's out of his mind.

It takes me twice as long

with good light on dry land and a standard box.

He must think I'm Houdini.

He paid for Houdini.

Come on, let's figure out what's in these cylinders.

The man said they're heavy-grade celluloid,

sealed and waterproofed.

Three of them,

2 kilos each.

Nitro on celluloid?

That's what I mean, frenchy.

I got to blow those doors

without tearing those cylinders apart.

Why don't you burn it or peel it?

In eight minutes, stupid?

What's in these? What's in them?

Maybe gold.

Bullion is $35 an ounce.

At our prices, he'd be losing a fortune.

Diamonds?

In waterproof celluloid containers? Never.

Wait a minute.

"H"!

Uncut horse.

6 kilos of pure heroin.

Oh, man, what a hit.

What a hit.

$40 million, cool.

[ Music plays ]

I'm from mauna loa refrigeration.

Stand right there.

Moore here.

A guy from mauna loa refrigeration.

Please excuse me.

Right. I'll check.

Nobody reported anything wrong.

Who called you?

Look, buddy, I just work for the outfit.

I do what I'm told. It's no skin off my back.

You're paying double time.

You want to find out who called,

okay, I'll come back in the morning.

It's all right, Eric. I called him.

Sorry, miss carstairs.

No problem.

You know where it is?

Been here before.

[ Speaking mandarin ]

Okay, let's go.

How is he?

The sake and the powder worked like a charm.

Where's Swanson?

Should be here any second.

[ Knock on door ]

Who is it?

Lu Kim.

Everything's all right. Thank you, you can go.

[ Speaking mandarin ]

It is 11:00.

We have exactly 10 minutes.

[ Knock knock ]

Who is it?

Swanson.

Come on, come on. Time is running short.

Do not be too impatient, my friend.

If the blueprints were correct,

they will show exactly where the partition covers the safe.

[ Clicking ]

[ Clicking increases ]

I've got it.

Chalk.

You're going to start looking for chalk?

Why don't you carry it?

Shut up, stupid.

You sure that's it?

Yes, yes, I'm sure.

[ Knocks on wall ]

[ Knocks on wall ]

11:01.

We have exactly nine minutes until the guard returns.

You got that, brown?

We run over nine minutes, we get trapped in here,

I'll put a bullet in your head.

You may not be alive to do it, stupid.

Stop arguing.

If you're going to settle something,

settle it when we're through here.

For heaven's sake, let's get on.

There it is.

Oh, it's a beauty.

11:04.

All right.

Let's synchronize our watches.

In 10 seconds,

it will be 11:04 and 30 seconds.

Now.

At exactly 11:10,

you throw that master switch.

I know what I'm supposed to do.

What time is it, baby?

11:05.

Plastic.

Detonators.

11:06.

Wire.

11:07.

Now we need the nitro.

1-1,000, 2-1000, 3-1000, 4-1000...

We have one minute.

[ Alarm sounds ]

That jerk, he blew it.

[ Screaming ]

Flashlight!

Battery.

Come on. Back up.

Be careful.

Give me some light here.

All right, duck.

Oh, boy, there it is.

One...two...three.

[ Footsteps ]

Shh! Someone's coming.

Give me. Let's go.

[ Alarm continues ]

You have done well.

Now it is time for your payoff.

There's a stone lantern on the lanai.

If you will remove the top,

within will be what you are seeking.

If you will take it and replace it

with the 6 kilos you obtained for me,

our arrangement will then be over.

It's empty.

We've been had.

You're not going anywhere, honey.

Okay, baby.

Now it is time for your payoff.

There's a stone lantern on the lanai.

[ Replay speed increases, tape rewinds ]

[ Margi'sa voice ] There's a stone lantern on the lanai.

If you will remove the top,

within will be what you are seeking.

If you will take it and replace it

with the 6 kilos you obtained for me,

our arrangement will then be over.

Harry k. Brown?

Steve mcgarrett, 5-o. You're under arrest.

You all right, boss?

Book her.

Kono, get an ambulance.

[ "Hawaii five-o" theme plays ]
