Thank you.

You have graced our home, Mr.

Ambassador. It is you, Christina, who graced this home with your beauty and

kindness. Monsieur, a princess always remains a princess, although

transplanted from her native soil.

Your husband appreciates you.

Anytime.

I'll live.

You?

Yes, from all this money.

I think everyone had a splendid time.

That loud hour of yours was absolutely marvellous. Thank you, darling.

My zipper?

Yes.

Just a superb hostess.

And a beautiful woman.

Thank you, dear.

Anything wrong, dear?

Steve, all set. I want a conviction this time, Denno.

If the tip is good, we'll make it stick.

Okay, take him.

Let's go, Jim.

This is a search warrant.

It's Williams, isn't it? You know the routine.

I want to see receipts on everything you've got in here, including the dust.

Of course, of course.

But you've seen most of this stuff before.

There's some cheap watches back in the safe.

We'll get to it.

Of course, of course.

Do I have to wait for the police station to make my phone call?

Hey, open this lock.

Why? We hear you don't trust your own safe.

The jacket.

Let's go.

About 200 bucks.

It's on his books with a price and date, but no bill of sale.

Anything else?

Yeah, typewriter.

Same deal.

Penny Abbey.

I don't want to give the judge some tale of woe about a tourist being down on his

luck. This is the only other thing we came up with, Steve, but it has a bill

of sale.

Wow.

No tourist hawked that.

Chin, see if the cellar checks out.

You like 10 to 1 against?

No bet. Just tell Alan to come in.

It's not listed on our hot sheets, Steve.

Try HPD overnights. Right.

Right over here.

My lawyer said you have to charge me or release me.

Why was this hidden?

My shop's been knocked over eight times in the last six months.

Where did you get it?

I have a terrible memory for names and faces.

Man or woman?

Man.

I think.

Tall? Short?

Your height? What?

I was sitting down. I'm sorry.

How old was he?

Can't remember.

Hawaiian? Caucasian? Oriental?

Mr. McGarrett.

I can describe to you within a tenth of a carat any gem that I've paid for in

the last five years.

But faces?

It's an anonymous business.

People with need of my money all look alike.

The less you remember, the more obvious it becomes you knew this pendant was

hot. Well, it didn't appear on any hot sheet the police send around.

How could I know?

Because you paid $8,000 from something worth 40.

I'm a bargain hunter.

Your offense.

Prove it.

You know, if this does turn up on a couple of hot sheets in the next couple

of weeks, you're going to be out quite a few thou.

That would be very upsetting.

His bill of sale shows an address six blocks out in the middle of the Pacific.

You better get that lawyer down here.

What charge?

Your bill of sale has a phony name and address.

Someone lied to me.

Can't trust anyone these days.

Still no proof of crime.

We'll prove it.

Well, if you do, Mr. McGarrett, just give me a call.

By the way, you can't keep my jewelry more than three days without proving

it's stolen.

Tell Duke I want HPD on the streets with eight by tens of this pendant.

Every manufacturing jeweler, every jewelry store, and you and Dan will

check the insurance companies, find out who this was stolen from and why nobody

reported it.

I cannot wait longer. Do not keep my heart in expectation.

No more. You must be patient for just one more moment.

Now you may open your eyes.

Oh!

Lovely! Lovely!

Happy birthday, Mother.

Oh, thank you, Christina. Oh, thank you, my Michi.

Michi, if you're a very good girl, you may play with the bird afterwards, okay?

You know, it is said the nightingale will sing his true song...

Only for one of royal blood.

Now, shall we see if he sings for me?

Yes. All right.

There. See?

It answered back.

You and I, my child, are the last of the royal line.

If I could die in my room at...

Now, Maman, you know that the islands are very beautiful, and that your

presence makes them even more beautiful.

Excuse me, sir. The telephone.

All right.

A tout à l'heure.

Thank you.

Hello, this is Mr. Giovanna speaking.

I got something of yours.

You want it back?

Go to the phone booth on the corner of Owyhee and Vineyard.

Go now, and wait there.

Yes? Cash, $50,000.

Where? I'll let you know later.

You've got 48 hours.

I need at least 72 hours.

All right.

Small bills, no sequences.

All right, agreed.

Yeah, I can tell you about it.

Unique.

Very special.

You ever make a setting like it?

Not even before my retirement.

Would a fence make it to reset a hot stone?

No, that's handcrafted.

Venetian myth.

Only two guys on the island can make this kind.

One, he did already.

And the other.

The other?

He's an amateur professor at the University of Hawaii.

Pouring gold in the ancient Phoenician method is my hobby.

I came upon it in my studies of the crafts of the ancient Middle Eastern

kingdoms.

Now watch this.

I pour the molten gold into the ice water.

Results? Unpredictable.

Perhaps one out of 50 I keep and develop into a setting for a fine piece of

jewelry.

And the rest?

Well, I'll show you.

Like most of them, recycled.

Back into the crucible.

Exactly.

Professor, I'd like you to examine this, if you would.

Ah, yes.

A felicitous pouring.

Yours?

I made this about two years ago.

And the stone?

Exquisite, isn't it?

Madam selected that from her collection.

Madam? Madam Suvang.

A dear and old friend.

One of the last of the royal families of Indochina.

And you made it for her?

No. I made it for her son-in-law.

For his wife.

A gift, an anniversary gift, I believe.

Did you know him?

Slightly. He traveled a great deal. Some sort of an international trade broker, I

believe. That is, before he retired and married the madam's daughter.

His name is Jabara.

That's the last time, okay?

All right.

Maman!

I don't think we scheduled a meeting.

You have our down payment.

We are waiting.

Is there a difficulty?

Nothing I can't control.

Yesterday, you asked for a very large loan from your bank.

Yes.

Well, you see, I have many business affairs.

Only one that concerns your government.

They want what they have made a payment on.

Do you want the film or the down payment, then?

The film.

Good.

Three days I'll have the film.

You have the rest of the money.

You know, I really think that's quite impossible.

Safes are opened every day, Mr. Gibard.

Mr. McGarrett, not this one. It has a special burglar alarm, and I have got

the only key.

May we take a look?

Oh, I insist we do. Please, follow me upstairs.

Bonjour, Papa.

Bonjour, Missy.

We go for our daily walk to hear the birds.

Maman, this is Mr. McGarrett, a business associate of mine.

This is Madame Suvant.

Madame.

You are welcome in our home.

Thank you.

And this is my lovely daughter, Bichy.

Hi. Hi, honey.

Sois gentille, ma chérie. A tout à l'heure.

Goodbye. Please.

May I see that key, please?

Yes, of course.

It's mercury.

You mean in the lock?

Yeah.

The alarm works by electrical current.

Opening the safe without the key in the lock breaks the current and sets the

alarm off.

Now, your burglar inserted mercury in that lock, thereby maintaining the

current, and he can open the safe without using the actual key.

Nothing else is gone.

Just the pendant.

You sure?

Yes.

Use your phone?

Yes, of course you may.

Where did the pendant end up, Mr. McGann?

The fence, we know.

Do you know his name by any chance?

Yeah, Allen.

Willard Allen.

And you suspect the burglar was a professional?

Without a doubt.

We've been trying to nail Alan for years with proof that he received stolen

goods.

The pendant was in his possession. Now we have the proof.

And I have the pendant.

I'd like to keep it for a few days as evidence.

Oh, yes, of course. Perfectly all right.

Che, McGarrett, I want your boys at 2861 Manoa Road.

Quickly as possible.

I want the works.

Right.

Mr. McGarrett, I would like to ask you one favor.

Please. My mother-in-law, Madame Suvang, is an aristocratic old lady and still

dreaming of the restoration of her family in her homeland.

The very thought of thieves wandering about in a house is rather unsettling.

I understand.

My men will be here and gone in three hours.

Good.

I'll let myself out.

Thank you again. That pendant is worth more than money to me and my wife.

Goodbye.

Yes. Be so kind as to give me the phone number of Mr. Willard Allen.

A-double-L-E-N.

Chin, get Ben and pick up Willard Allen.

I'm just a block away now.

Proof the pendant is stolen. Now we start to build our case.

The back door's knocked too. Yeah.

Well, you stake this out.

I'll go hit his house. Okay.

Chino, patch me through to McGarrett.

Hold on. He left a number.

Go ahead.

McGarrett.

Steve, Allen may have gotten wind of something.

The man's nowhere to be found.

Yes, he is, Chin.

We found him.

Cause of death, 38 slug entering the brain through the left posterior mastoid

area. Powder burns close range.

Wow, get this.

Nails of the first three fingers on the right hand were torn off.

Alan was killed but tortured first. Now why?

Could be any number of things, Steve.

Hijacking. Straight robbery.

Everybody knew he always had a lot of green on him.

Maybe even holding out on a client of his who laid something on him and wanted

it back.

All motives for murder, Dano.

Not torture.

Why torture a fence?

For information, maybe?

No fence sings easily. Least of all, Alan, we know that.

But... The fingernails of one hand were torn off and not the other, which leads

me to believe that...

Whoever it was got the information that he wanted, then said thank you and

killed him.

Leaving us not much to go on.

Yeah, like the Jabara robbery.

Duke was checking out the cat burglar M.O.

Like who's in town that could have or might have.

Let me see if he's got something for us.

Did you find anything at Jabara's place?

Yeah, just one thing.

Black cotton, that thread.

Caught in that picture frame that covers the safe where the corners meet.

Jabara's? No, from a woman's glove.

Nobody at Jabara owns one, including the help.

Now, get me the book on Jabara.

Checking the victim, huh?

Sure.

Pendant is stolen from Jabara.

The fence who acquires it ends up dead.

What does one thing have to do with the other?

Probably nothing, but it's all we've got to go on.

Check Jabara's friends, acquaintances, who delivers the groceries.

Chin, you stay with the glove. Can't be that many people in the middle of the

Pacific buying black cotton gloves.

I told your boss to leave me alone for 72 hours.

You didn't have to do that.

You want to kill me?

And risk no deliveries?

Pull the trigger.

You try that again, you're gonna leave the clip in.

I just got clearance from Navy Intelligence to brief you, Steve.

Jabara was an agent, counterintelligence, Southeast Asia,

late 50s through the early 60s.

For the Navy?

No, sometimes CIA, sometimes on loan to friendly governments.

Now, this dossier is official.

but very, very thin.

Sit down. Thank you.

What about lately?

Bluey's cover six years ago. Got out through Hong Kong 30 seconds ahead of a

Chinese arrest order.

We refused extradition.

And he's retired now?

Yeah. Leads a very social life.

Lots of friends.

Married well.

They live with his mother-in-law, Madame Suvang.

What about associates, sir? Any business involvement?

Only activity of late is accompanying the old lady every six months or so to

Indochina. What for?

Madam still has sizable holdings there, plus a circle of fading nobility and

dreams of ancient glory.

Help you any, Steve?

So far in this case, Commander, nothing helps.

Okay, let's run it down.

Turned up six guys who work the islands.

All use mercury for the burglar alarm.

All have the skill to enter a third-story window.

And all work the safe rather than blow it.

Well, you can strike Pennelly. He got arthritis last year. He couldn't open a

can of cat food.

This guy went on the L.A. clink last Tuesday.

Anybody else?

We pulled in three out of the other four.

Sammy Orr claims that he's retired.

They all do.

Jimmy Subishi, he just came in from Tokyo.

Kenzo Lakai's always been a number two man.

This was a loner.

Who's the other possible?

Paolo Mahana.

All right, get out an APB on Mahana.

Send it to mainland police, a key city release. He likes to travel.

Anything on the black gloves?

Well, Stoss thought I was putting them on.

Asking about black gloves.

Did find two that carried them for people on the way back to the mainland.

One pair sold the past three weeks. Size five for a woman.

Great.

A guy bought them.

Tried them on, said he wore the same size as his wife.

He's a real little guy, like a jockey.

Sammy York.

Sammy York.

Also known as George York, also known as Sam Young.

5'5", 145 pounds, 47 years old.

That's it. 2G. Get the front and rear. I'll take the stairs.

Open up, 5-0.

Anything? Nothing.

Take that wall.

We've been had, brother.

We've been had.

All right, folks, please, please stand back. Give us a break, will you? Give us

a break. Thank you.

Ben is getting out an APB on Sammy York. Let's case this place.

Poor Sammy.

Died hard.

Get Che in here for latent prints. We surprised the killer in the act.

Now, two men involved in the Jabara robbery, both murdered and tortured.

It's a nice trinket, Steve, but not worth two murders.

Double coincidence?

Maybe.

Maybe.

Unless Sammy was... Trying to fence something else, something really

important.

Hello, lab.

I can't hear you.

Lab.

Hello, lab.

Hold on a minute, lab. Hold on.

Steve.

Contact print.

Looks like microfilm.

Eyes only. National Security Council.

Top secret.

Sammy did leave us a little something, huh?

Safety light.

Look at this.

Developing tank, hypo.

Sammy probably developed the film. Made a contact print, top secret document.

Somebody tortured him to find it. But missed this little protection copy.

Yeah.

Yeah, the only link we have is Jabara's pendant.

We know Sammy had that.

Pick up Jabara?

No.

No, Dono, tail him, but I want to know every time he blinks. But keep the tail

loose. Jabbar is a pro.

If we get too close, he'll spot us.

It's a schematic, the input network diagram for our Polaris missile.

Oh, no wonder two men were killed.

Sensitive to a quarter of a mile setting on a target 6,000 miles away.

It's the improved version of the device, brand new.

Any knowledge how this got into circulation?

Intelligence suspected a leak through our diplomatic course, Steve. We

couldn't find clue one on the contact man.

Jabara?

Sammy York found more in his safe than he bargained for.

We've got to find out where that negative's headed.

He's under 24-hour surveillance.

It won't be easy, Steve.

For 20 years, Jabara's been slipping in and out of countries as regular as the

tide.

Car 2 reporting.

He hopped the cab.

Car 4, come in. Car 4.

Chin's got a heading west on Smith Street.

You keep west one block over.

We'll see what he's up to.

You got it to a station wagon, Steve.

License number 3 Albany 82.

Repeat, 3 Albany 82.

Yeah, I got it, Chin. Don't pursue.

Repeat, do not pursue.

Car 5, come in, please.

Car 5.

Position 5.

Two blocks east of King on Mauna Kea headed north. Watch for a station wagon

moving south. License 3A82.

Repeat, 3A...

Right on schedule.

He's turning left.

Headed for the Lunalilo Highway.

Car 4, come in, please.

Car 4.

Proceed to the next exit and hold.

Gen 4.

Cartel, come in.

Proceed to the Punho exit on the Little Eagle Freeway and hold.

Car 2, we just turned south on Puna Hall.

Headed right straight for the center of town.

Car two.

Car number two.

Coming to.

It's going into the Ala Moana Shopping Center, Steve.

I'll lose him in there.

I want an HPD card every entrance and exit to the Ala Moana Shopping Center.

Be ready to block all exits and check every car coming out.

Steve. Chet.

I made him on foot.

Where, Chin? Where do you see him? Headed where?

He's on the upper level, heading for the mall.

Car 4, location?

Northwest side of shopping center.

All cars remain in present position.

Down a walk toward the arcade. I'll meet you.

On my way, Steve.

Should I go, Steve?

Yeah, go.

Excuse me, please. Excuse me. Excuse me, please. Step back. Step back, please.

Step back.

There's a guy cut to the railing up there. Pick him up.

That was the meat, Steve. Guy had a case full of money.

What happened?

Throw. One shot. Come up there somewhere.

Why? He still has the film.

Blank.

And the other matter is taken care of.

They're only?

Yes.

Here,

take this.

Okay.

Here, Ben.

I'll take that.

Do I know you?

It's all over, madam.

How did you know?

The negatives weren't on your son-in-law. Where else could they have

been? Nobody else could have known. It had to be you.

Jabbar is dead.

It was the price of restoring my country to its rightful ruler.

My family's palace is filled with peasants playing at government.

You had Jabara killed your own son-in-law?

He betrayed me and our cause.

How? How?

For a better offer? For himself.

And I thought he was one of us. A patriot.

He was nothing but a mercenary.

My God.

Sano, Booker.

Murder one and espionage.
