[ Police radio chatter ]

All set, Danny.

Let's go.

[ Knocks on door ]

Amuru, police!

Hold it! Police!

Get back in there.

Up against the wall.

What's going on? What's this all about?

You know what it's all about.

You get tough with us, we'll get tough with you.

You got a warrant?

Yeah, yeah. Now, strip, and don't be bashful.

Let's get all the stuff, then cut it and package it.

Now let's see if we can find where he hides it.

Williams. Amuru's come up with a funny story.

I think you'd better hear it.

So you at five-o?

Yeah.

You stinkin' crook. I've been paying you guys money.

Is this the kind of protection you give?

Protection?

Protection. Five-o was to lay off my back.

If another department moved in, you were to tip me off.

That's an interesting lie.

1,200 bucks I paid for protection.

Didn't I, Kelly?

Beg your pardon.

No pardons. You stuck a knife in my back.

I'm going to stick it to you, you and all of five-o.

[ Tires screech ]

-Yuki. -Steve.

Where is he?

In there.

Claims he's gonna blow the whistle on us

all the way to court.

Let him. Ain't no big thing. We're clean.

Is he?

No.

Found about 2 ounces of heroin.

Figures.

-Craig. -Steve.

My name is mcgarrett. I'm with five-o.

Now, suppose you tell me your story.

Been over it a dozen times.

Well, let's try it again.

Now, how did you set this deal you claim to have made?

I met a guy two months ago.

Said he had contact with five-o, and was I interested?

Talked about it.

When he got down to numbers, I said, "I want to see the man."

That's when I had a meeting with Kelly.

Who was the guy you met?

Who was the guy you met?

I don't remember his name.

[ Scoffs ] And where did you say you met Kelly?

-Ala moana park. -When?

Eh...month ago.

Tuesday, 11:00 P.M.

You got a good memory.

Go on.

So, he spelled it out --

$200 a week, and you guys will lay off.

Anybody else moved in, he'd tip me.

And you've been paying ever since?

Six times.

Who did you give the money to?

Nobody. It was a drop.

I get a call here every Monday night about 9:00.

From this man who said he was chin ho Kelly.

It was him.

I got in a car right alongside him --

'65 two-door blue sedan, if you're interested.

Oh, I'm interested.

You're not gonna sweep this one under the rug, mcgarrett.

No, I'm gonna pull the rug back on this one all the way.

But you better be very positive

about your information, Mr. Amuru,

because a man's good name and reputation is at stake.

[ "Hawaii five-o" theme plays ]

Your bloody Mary, Mr. Brohme.

We had no idea there would be anything like this involved.

We try to avoid publicity.

It's nothing to be afraid of.

You got to learn to use the media.

And, particularly, we don't like violence.

Unfortunately, some violence

has always been connected with progress.

Unfortunately, I say.

Ha ha ha!

How about that? A hole-in-one.

Let's stick to the subject.

We've had a lot of experience over the years.

I know. The bad days, the old days, hard times.

That's right.

That's yesterday, not today. Today things are different.

Look, I'll lay it out for you once more.

"A" -- the recent scandal at the public utilities commission

has got the governor terrified on the subject of corruption.

"B" -- we learn in law school that the police can react

in a limited number of ways to any given situation.

They're predictable. That makes them vulnerable.

Ipso facto, q.E.D. "A" and "b" puts them out of the picture

and gives us a lot more room to operate.

I don't think mcgarrett's that easy to push.

Nonsense.

I pushed you, didn't I? You didn't think I would.

I got you to invest in this project.

Believe me, it's the best money you'll ever spend.

When will this project of yours end?

What's funny?

You, your anxiety.

You're like an old businessman afraid to try something new.

I am a businessman, and I've got a lot to lose.

That's a chance you take

when you want to become part of the establishment,

even if it's the crooked part.

You haven't answered my question.

This project will end when they indict mcgarrett.

Come in.

Sit down, chin.

Want some coffee?

No. Thank you.

This is very hard for me to say, chin.

But I -- I love you like a brother,

and that goes for every other man on this staff.

We've been through some rough times together,

but this is one of the roughest.

I've got to find out who's lying and why.

Sure, Steve. I understand.

Now, most of amuru's story can't be checked.

He said that he met you last month

on Tuesday the 4th at 11:00 P.M. in ala moana park

and made the deal.

That man sure has got a good memory.

Yeah, that impressed me, too.

Thanks, danno.

Logbook says that you signed out

at 8:15 on the 4th.

Where did you go?

Several weeks ago.

Usually, I guess I was home.

No fights on Tuesday night,

no bowling, no church.

I guess I was home.

Chin, I'm not going to dignify the charges against you,

but I'd like to ask a favor,

not for me, but for the doubters.

I want to clear the air.

I want to clear your good name.

I want to be able to report to the governor

with absolute scientific certainty.

I want to put you on the polygraph.

Sure, Steve. The sooner the better.

First I'll ask a series of non-related questions

in order to get a norm on you.

Your full name is chin ho Kelly?

Yes.

You're a citizen of the United States?

Yes.

Relax.

You're a citizen of the United States?

Yes.

That's all there is to it. That's the whole story.

It wouldn't be right to print it.

It's front-page stuff,

but I'm not going to keep this fire going.

Thanks, Dave. It could only hurt chin.

Wouldn't do you any good, either.

That's not what I'm concerned with.

Well, if anything unusual shows up

in the lie detector test --

it won't, but you're welcome to see it.

Jenny, get me the governor.

Next question.

Prior to last night, to the best of your knowledge,

had you ever met Jerry amuru?

No.

Did you at any time, directly or indirectly,

accept a bribe from him?

No.

I gave him the whole story.

Dave garland's a responsible reporter,

but he'll do some digging on his own.

You know my position, Steve.

After that last mess, any sign of corruption,

and I'll jump on it with both feet.

And keep me current. I don't like surprises.

Yes, sir. I don't like them, either.

Yes, sir, thank you.

Not so much on the first two runs,

but after he settled down some,

completely consistent.

You see, here...

And here.

Let me have a copy of the report as soon as you can.

Mr. Mcgarrett.

I won't put this in the report. It's only an impression.

I don't know if you're interested.

I am.

He's more upset over this than he shows,

much more.

Thanks, Kent.

What are you going to do,

take the rest of the afternoon off?

I thought I'd wait,

get the word before I hit the road.

Like a Rose, chin. Like a Rose.

Now, how about a little work, huh?

[ Cartoon noises on television ]

Hi.

Hi, pop.

Is everybody all right?

-Uh-huh. -Yeah.

It's kind of late, isn't it?

Mom said we could.

Daddy!

Tilda!

Tilda, come back here.

Hey, hold it down, will you?

Be quiet!

Tim, how did you make out on that test?

I'm on the telephone.

Dad just got home.

Boy, it's murder trying to carry on

some type of relevant conversation.

I'll do that.

Everything all right?

What's the trouble?

A man, a narcotics dealer, said I took a bribe from him.

How much?

$1,200.

That's not enough.

When I think of all the things we can do with it,

that's not enough.

Talk to him.

See if he can't make it more.

The first Tuesday of last month, the 4th,

was I home around 11:00?

I don't know.

See if you can remember.

Ask the kids, especially Tim.

You're their father. You ask them.

They're with you more. They talk to you.

This has you worried.

It's happened before.

It's one of those things.

All right. I'll ask them.

[ Telephone rings ]

Mr. Calhao?

Yeah, ray.

We're all set. Any time.

Well, make it loud.

It will be so loud,

the governor's windows will rattle.

All right, I'll be listening.

[ Siren wailing ]

[ Gunshots ]

[ Horn honks ]

No tricks.

I talked to his wife. She said chin's gone fishing.

Get him back here fast.

Right.

Okay, those are the distribution points,

and these are the dates.

Six times.

Mmm, once a week.

How much did you deliver?

Well, like today, 5 grand,

only this time I wasn't expecting a hijack.

A bit too much, man.

Who are you working for?

I don't know.

Whose money is that?

I don't know.

I mean, I feel that there's something big going on here.

The less I know about the situation, the better.

You're a small-time hustler and purse snatcher.

You've been busted for every petty crime,

including rolling a drunk.

Nobody in his right mind would trust you alone with $5,000.

It's the truth.

And you get very protective

about your employer's money.

Since when did you get so loyal?

Look, these guys are playing for keeps.

They'll blow up a cabby for 10 bucks change.

What do you think they'd do to me?

I was scared.

Of whom? Carl brohme and his pals?

I don't know.

Yes, you do know.

And you know something else?

You've been left holding the bag.

Listen, I'm trying to cooperate with you guys.

Let's go back to the beginning.

This guy you claim

you've been delivering the money to,

what did he look like?

Oriental, probably Chinese,

5'10", 5'11", weight maybe 230.

Word is he's a cop.

Yeah? Whose word?

It's out. You hear it.

Would you know if you saw him again?

Sure.

You're going to get your chance.

Do you see him?

Mm-hmm. Fourth from the right.

How long were you on the dock, chin?

An hour and a half.

Did you see anybody?

No, just kono when he came to get me.

What you mean is, did anybody see me?

What happened? Do I need an alibi?

Well, it would help, my friend. It would help.

The lie detector's not infallible.

I didn't say it was, sir,

but with a good operator, it's close,

and Kent stone is one of the best.

That's not what I'm going on.

Chin has been a cop for 22 years,

first with hpd and then with five-o.

He's a highly skilled police officer.

He's got four commendations, two citations for bravery.

He's an honest man.

He would no more take a bribe than you would or I would.

There are one or two gentlemen on the other isle

that might not consider that much of a character reference.

You have no proof that he was where he said he was?

No physical proof, but I have his word.

Steve, I wonder if it wouldn't be wise for you

to relinquish the investigation

to another agency.

I doubt that, sir.

I respect the way you feel, but if...

Well, if something should go sour, you could be hurt.

You're far enough out on the limb already.

And I'll go all the way if I have to,

because I know my men.

All right, Steve. All right.

But if there's much more of this,

I may have to do the sawing myself.

Yes, sir.

Mcgarrett, I have to talk to you.

Come on in, Dave.

Okay, Dave, what is it?

I took this over the phone about a half an hour ago.

Who gave it to you?

Man's voice, anonymous.

Mr. Anonymous, huh? Very reliable.

Any comment?

No, no comment. Thank you.

Look, I've cooperated, but --

Dave, thank you. No comment. Now, if you'll excuse me...

[ Buzz ]

Yeah, Steve?

I think you might need a court order,

but I want to see a bank account.

It's in the name of John Lee sung, s-u-n-g.

Fifth charter bank, kahaluu branch.

Will do.

Susie, this is Dan Williams.

I'm gonna need a court order to look at a bank account.

Where can I find a Mr. Summers?

All the way around to the right.

Thank you.

Mr. Summers.

Yes?

My name is Williams. I'm with Hawaii five-o.

How can I help you?

I'd like to see one of your accounts,

that of a John Lee sung.

Yes, I suppose so.

Let me have sung, please, John Lee.

Thank you.

Does anyone in the bank know this Mr. Sung by sight?

I do. As a matter of fact, I opened the account for him

about six weeks ago.

$1,200.

Six deposits, $200 each,

about one a week.

What did he look like?

Oh, he's heavyset, 5'10", 5'11".

Well over 200, I'd say,

and Chinese, of course.

Of course.

The first time you saw him, when he opened the account,

did you ask for any identification?

No. On a cash deposit, that's not required.

He just said, "I'm John Lee sung,"

and that was it?

I had no idea he was a police officer.

When he sat opposite you, you exchanged things --

the money, papers, and so forth.

Do you recall which hand he used?

His right, I believe.

Yes, yes, he gave me the money with his right hand.

Did he sign the signature card with his right hand?

No.

No, his left.

You're sure of that?

Yes. I recall that he had to turn at the desk.

The man you identified as John Lee sung is right-handed.

Oh? Well, that's odd.

I remember very clearly --

well, people do that sometimes,

just to disguise their handwriting.

Oh, really?

You're very observant, Mr. Summers.

Well, I want to help.

What was he wearing?

A business suit.

What color?

Blue, I think.

Yes, yes, it was blue.

And he came into the bank on two subsequent occasions.

Well, he went to one of the tellers, of course.

Chin, that blue suit of yours,

what's it made out of?

Wool.

When was the last time you wore it?

Well, it's in a clothes bag.

It's too heavy for this time of the year.

This is Williams.

I'd like to know the temperature at noon

of the 11th of last month in kahaluu.

Yeah, and the humidity, too.

When I questioned the tellers, none seemed to remember him.

Well, um, they'd --

they'd only seen him for a minute or so,

and then two of the girls have left.

He might have gone to them.

Where can I get in touch with the girls who left?

Well, the best I can do

is give you the last address we have on file.

Well, our man has a blue suit.

Mmm.

What color suit

were you wearing that day, Mr. Summers?

My -- my gray one, I think.

Lightweight?

Yes.

The temperature in kahaluu that day was over 90 degrees

and the humidity was more than 90%.

Now, does it seem reasonable

that a man would be wearing a heavy woolen suit

on a day like that?

I can't help that. I know what I saw.

Your records say

that 74 people have opened new accounts

in the last six weeks.

Yes, we do a lot of business.

Do you remember all of it?

No, hardly.

Do you remember any of them?

Well, let's see, um...

How about...

Let's see, how about John r. Macintosh,

for instance?

$4,200 initial deposit 10 days ago.

What did he look like?

How old was he?

What was he wearing, Mr. Summers?

Was he right-handed or left-handed?

Well, I can't remember everybody.

But you can remember a man you saw once six weeks ago?

Now...

I want a straight answer, Mr. Summers.

I want the truth.

I've been telling you the truth.

You better be,

because I'm going to give you a chance to prove it.

I'm going to get these people in here

and ask you to pick them out of a lineup.

Very well. Thank you. That's all.

And I'd give some thought

to the penalty for perjury in this state

if I were you.

Tail him, danno. See where he goes.

This man mcgarrett is more than I bargained for,

Mr. Calhao, a lot more.

You're getting paid plenty of bread for this deal.

Just stay cool. There's nothing he can do to you.

That's easy for you to say.

I've made up my mind, and I want out.

Oh, no, no. It's too late for that.

Besides, mcgarrett won't let you out.

Suppose we add a bonus.

Look, I could just tell him that I made a mistake.

No, then you would be in trouble,

and not only with mcgarrett.

Take the money, summers.

$10,000 should help chase the butterflies away.

What say you?

Well, that -- that would help considerably.

Good boy.

Now, you go home and wait for me to call.

I'll call you tonight about when and where.

All right.

Goodbye, Mr. Summers.

Better get Doug.

Shall we Bury him?

Better him than us.

Okay, testing 1, 2. Testing 1, 2.

This is reel two, chin.

Did you always have to wait at the school

for these rehearsals?

Yeah.

They would never seem to come off on time.

Why did you have to wait?

Well, if they did,

I didn't want the kid hanging around the street

at that hour.

Are you going to talk to Tim?

Why? Would he tell me something different?

No.

Then why shouldn't I talk with him?

Well, he's at that age, and he and I, we...

I wish you wouldn't, Steve.

It's personal.

Oh, chin, we've been over it twice.

What I've got is your word

against the sworn statement of three other men.

Amuru and vern I can understand.

You can buy them.

But summers, no.

That's right.

Summers is the one who's going to hurt.

I was never even in his bank.

Prove it. Prove it.

That's what the d.A. Is gonna ask you to do.

I can't! I can't!

Why is he -- why is he doing this to me?

What is it for?

[ Mumbles ]

Take it easy, chin.

Take it easy.

Can you account for any of the dates,

the payoffs,

the deposits, anything?

Steve...

Steve, I -- I can't.

The newspapers are bearing down

on the governor.

They're screaming whitewash inside five-o.

I've got to put you on suspension, chin.

Get some rest, brudda.

Chin...

If it's any comfort to you, I believe you.

How could you do something like that?

Kono, if I didn't love you,

I'd punch you right in the mouth.

He's got responsibilities, Steve --

a wife, eight children.

Yeah, and two of them need braces on their teeth,

and he's saving up to put Tim through college,

and he eats lunch out of a paper sack.

And he drives a beat-up old car!

And crying about it doesn't help anything!

Give me something! Give me something!

What have you got, besides talk?

There's a rumor about a payoff in this office.

It's supposed to have gone sour two days ago.

How good are your sources?

Lousy, and talk about Carl brohme,

he just got outvoted by the organization.

He's not too happy.

Danno, what do you hear from summers?

He went straight to a lawyer.

Anybody we know?

Edward h. Calhao.

Eddie calhao,

he's the one who's supposed to be giving brohme a fit.

Get me a rundown on him right away.

Well, suppose I lose my job.

You won't. You're not guilty.

No, but I can't seem to prove it.

We've been through times like this before,

bad times when we thought we'd never come through it alive.

But we can be tough when we have to be.

[ Telephone rings ]

[ Ring ]

[ Ring ]

Hello.

What? Who is this?

Yes. I'll be there.

Chin.

Hi, Steve.

Talk to you for a minute?

Yeah.

Where have you been, chin?

Driving.

Waiting for a man who said he had some information.

He didn't come.

Who was the man?

I don't know.

Austin summers was shot to death at his house

a half-hour ago.

Am I under arrest?

Not yet, but I've got to question you for the record.

Come on. Let's go, chin.

Good night, Mrs. Kelly.

[ Knock on door ]

Well, good morning, Steve.

That's usually an opener for bad news.

I hear you had a rough time last night.

Well, summers the bank manager was shot.

And now chin ho is under suspicion of murder.

Yes, sir.

They're really driving the nails in.

We've been friends for a long while, Steve,

and I'm going to turn the investigation over

to the Attorney General's office.

Governor, we're just beginning to make progress.

I could have cracked summers.

I can prove that the bank card was forged.

Too many rumors, too many questions.

Would you like to start digging up my backyard?

I'll send it over in writing, Steve.

You'll cooperate, of course.

It's for your own good, Steve.

Yes, sir.

Calhao graduated law school three years ago

summa cum laude.

No criminal record.

He set up practice here last year. No trial record,

but he's supposed to be a hotshot behind the scenes.

What clients?

Mostly brocar realty.

Carl brohme.

None of this fits brohme's pattern,

and he's too old to change.

We've been going by the book,

and we've been getting mousetrapped every time.

Let's see if the best defense

isn't a good offense, huh?

Good afternoon, Mr. Williams.

No, it's not, not for you, brohme.

Any second that phone's gonna start banging away,

because we're picking up every peddler, every pusher,

every user, every dealer we can lay our hands on.

[ Telephone ringing ]

And it's costing you money,

and it's going to cost you more,

more money and trouble,

because you've got a boy named calhao leaning on us,

so we're gonna lean on you.

Now maybe everyone will get hurt,

but when the blood starts to flow,

the man in the middle usually gets the worst of it,

and that's you.

Calhao's using you,

using you for his own personal gains.

And when you fall,

he'll be right there to fill in that chair.

You'll be the one who helped him do it.

Good afternoon.

My office number's right on the card,

but I'll give you my home number, too.

Who are you?

Name is right there,

in case you want to come in and talk.

About what, the weather?

Yeah, weather,

frame on an innocent cop, protection.

Protection? What are you, crazy?

Maybe, but I had a talk with Carl brohme,

and I don't think he thinks I'm crazy.

But then, you never know about Carl.

I've seen him switch right in the heat of battle.

Aloha, Eddie.

Information, yes.

Give me the number of the airport,

will you, please?

Passenger, please.

[ Gunshot ]

Hey!

What is this?

[ Sirens wailing ]

Hey!

Hey!

Police, up here!

Hey, mcgarrett, up here!

Wait!

Wait!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Mcgarrett!

Help me. They're trying to kill me.

Who would want to kill you, Eddie, huh?

What have you done?

You're safe enough for now, aren't you?

But you're a cop. You've got to protect me.

From what, Eddie?

From Carl brohme.

Well, you've got to come up with more than a name.

I want dates, places, the whole setup.

Sergeant, take him downtown.

Take his statement. Book him.

You aimed a little close. He was really shook.

No more than he deserved.

Can I give you a lift? I got a date.

Central dispatch, this is mcgarrett.

Patch me through to the switchboard, please.

I want to talk to chin ho Kelly.

Go ahead, mcgarrett.

Chin, welcome home.

I'm on my way. Be down in 10 minutes.

No, never mind tonight.

Just be on time tomorrow morning, you big pakai.

Right. Thanks, Steve.

I'm back on the payroll.

I told you.

Remember how you felt about your father,

how you felt he could handle anything?

Don't you tell anybody your pop can't do anything.

I'm trying to use the phone, dad.

Okay, son. Tilda, let's get you to bed,

and tomorrow we'll go down to the zoo.

[ "Hawaii five-o" theme plays ]
