Thank you.

The lady's right on time, huh?

Okay.

Maria? Yes?

Don't you remember me, huh?

Get into that car.

Maria!

Get in.

What is it you want?

Please, I must know.

Look.

Just say we're big fans of your daddies, huh?

What have we got, Tanner?

Maria Ramos, daughter of Emilio.

The man?

The man.

Well, you've just made my day, Danno.

Any witnesses?

One, Renee Okawa, a classmate of Maria's. She lives in the same dormitory

complex. From her window, she saw Maria being forced into a minibus at gunpoint.

Got a nothing description.

She says she didn't see his face, just shaggy hair. That's about it.

Anything on the vehicle?

Blue, no make, no license number.

Great. Anything else?

That's all so far, Steve.

Che's on his way out.

OK. Contact your friends.

Classmates, roommates, anyone who can give us anything on our recent state of

mind.

Upsetting phone calls, enemies, grudges, lovers.

Anything at all.

Have these duplicated. I want one in every blue and white in the island.

It's gonna be a rough one, Danno.

Let's get on it fast, huh? Right.

Ms. Ramos.

Welcome.

Hey, brother, can you dig that?

Couldn't be better, eh?

Looks like we're on our way, huh?

Now, Maria, we're gonna let you send a message

to your daddy.

Could you leave us a minute?

Of course. We're doing everything we can, Jonathan.

Yes. Yes, I'll keep you posted.

Right.

That was the State Department, Steve. Jonathan Kaye.

Where do we stand on this thing?

We have our 5-0 team and a full HPD backup working. We don't have much to go

on, but we're questioning all the girls' associates.

We have a statewide distribution of a photo in the works.

You think it's a kidnapping?

I don't know. It could be.

We can't be sure until they contact us.

President Ramos is on his way right now to rescue his daughter. He'll be here in

about six hours.

You know what they call this, Ramos?

Yes, sir. El Diablo. The devil.

And from his reputation in the international press, I can think of a

few other adjectives.

So can most of his countrymen living right here on this island.

They'd all like to see him hanged by his fingernails, or worse.

Steve, we've got a double problem.

You've got to find that girl and see that nothing happens to Ramos while he's

here. Yes, sir.

I think the best approach is to keep his arrival low profile.

Agreed.

There's one other thing.

Washington says we're going to have to cooperate with Ramos to every extent

possible. Governor, would you translate that for me, please? I'm not good at

Washington double talk.

Well, this girl is his only child. It means everything to him.

Steve, I know you will want a free hand to handle this your way, but the message

from Washington is loud and clear. If El Diablo, El Presidente says something, we

listen.

Right.

And listen hard.

We covered the dormitories in the area, Steve.

The big zero.

Classes were in session. There was very little pedestrian traffic.

A couple of people remember seeing her walking home, but no one else saw her

grabbed. We still have people to talk to.

All right, Chin. Keep digging. Let me know. Right.

What have we got, gentlemen?

About where we were this morning, Steve.

Nowhere.

I talked to the girl's roommate.

The only negative thing to come her way lately are a few crank calls.

But she says Maria gets a few of them every month because of her father. But

nothing persistent.

Not from the same caller.

No enemies.

At least openly.

Talked to her friends, and they say that she's popular with classmates, teachers,

everyone. Well, it fits.

Top student.

Dean's list twice.

What about boyfriends?

Several, but nothing steady.

Who's checking them?

I am.

Talked to three, one to go.

Her roommate says she keeps pretty much to herself, doesn't publicize her

identity. Oh, and she hasn't seen her father for more than a year.

Apparently, she doesn't exactly see eye to eye with him.

That's one more thing in her favor.

Well, what do we have?

Psycho? Political fanatic. With Ramos, it wouldn't take much to go either way.

Just read the newspapers.

Steve.

Here's a dope on the security you requested for the airport.

Double guard at each exit.

Plane closed for low profile.

The plane will taxi to runway six, the one furthest from the terminal.

What about the route from the airport to the Ilikay?

All sectors five, six, eight, and ten. All covered. Okay. Let's go.

Mr. President?

Ah, yes, you and Mr. McGarrett.

Mr. Kay of the State Department told me you would receive me.

My daughter, what news do you have of Maria?

We've heard nothing from your daughter nor from her abductors.

McGarrett, you had six hours to find her.

Mr. Kay spoke very highly of you. Now, I wonder if that praise is warranted.

Mr. President, we don't know if, in fact, your daughter was kidnapped.

There are other possibilities.

However... We've established a 24-hour watch post at the university campus.

We're running down every known and suspected rapist, any one of them

without an alibi, we're bringing in and interrogating. Your daughter's picture

has been circulated to every police car on this island.

I assume you have talked to her friends.

Friends, teachers, classmates.

Anyone and everyone who can give us a hint.

Very well.

President?

Your men, are they armed?

Indeed they are.

Then I must insist that they surrender their weapons.

Mr. McGarrett, the President must be protected.

I must insist that they surrender their weapons before you proceed.

Mr. President, I appeal to you.

That's my man.

El Diablo himself.

And his faithful companion, Felipe.

That seemed all right.

It's gonna happen, Carlos.

I got the feeling it's gonna happen.

There. How do I look?

Now let me have your clothes.

But why?

What are you gonna do? Never mind.

Just get them off.

Mr. President.

This is the control center set up especially for your visit.

Any messages we might receive from your daughter will be relayed directly here.

Now, all law enforcement agencies connected with this investigation will

coordinate their activities through this center.

Your suite will be under guard around the clock.

Now, please, stay away from the windows and keep the drapes closed.

If you want anything at all, the officer outside will be glad to provide it for

you.

Very well.

Good afternoon, Ilikai Hotel.

I have a message for Presidente Ramos.

One moment, please.

Yes.

Right.

Get this.

All right, put him on.

Go ahead, please.

I have a message from the Presidente's daughter.

It is taped on the shelf in the phone booth.

Located at Diamond Head Road and Paiku Street.

thousand dollars in unmarked bills.

Have Felipe bring it to the north-west corner of Coapaca and Cajucu tomorrow

at 9 a.m. He will be contacted there.

It will be paid, as specified exactly.

Sir, once those unmarked bills are in the hands of Maria's kidnappers, her

life will be worth nothing.

Now, our only chance, your best chance of seeing Maria alive is to allow us to

set a trap.

I disagree.

They would never kill my daughter.

They know that I would hunt them down and spit on their graves.

They do not call me El Diablo for no reason.

Now, I warn you, sir, you're making a mistake.

I will take full responsibility.

Felipe, arrange for the money.

I know how you feel, Steve, and you're right. But I've been in touch with

Washington again, and they insist that we handle this in whatever manner Ramos

chooses. But he's gambling with his daughter's life, sir. You know the

statistics in cases like this. You pay them off with unmarked bills, and they

kill the victim, especially in adults who can identify them. I know that, but

our hands are tied.

Yes, sir.

Rita?

Here, baby.

Fantastic.

Miss Ramos, I'm charmed to make your acquaintance.

Thank you. You Mr.

Olivares. Don't you look good? You look good.

You two better get moving.

Rita?

Ready. Come on. You make a better Maria than she does.

Operator, this is an emergency.

I want the police.

Yes, I'm calling from a pay phone.

Uh, 768-2300.

Police department, Sergeant Kalani.

Uh, this is Maria.

Maria Ramos.

McGarrett.

Yeah, Frank.

And she's okay?

Good. Good. We're on our way.

We get lucky? Yeah, we get lucky.

Let's go.

Are you Maria Ramos?

McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0. Will you come with me, please?

Are you all right?

Excuse me.

I realize that you're very upset, Miss Ramos, but I'd like to ask you some

questions while things are still fresh in your mind.

Yes. All right.

Now, will you tell me everything you can in as much detail as possible about the

kidnappers? How many were there?

Three that I know of.

The one that grabbed me and shoved me into the car, the one driving, and the

other one at that place.

There is something I wish to say, Marguerite. Say it, then leave us.

Just one thing, Mr. President. Time is of the essence.

We'd like to finish questioning your daughter as soon as possible.

Of course, now leave us.

No. Rita.

As in Salazar.

That was for Teresa.

Would you describe them, please, starting with the one who forced you

into the car?

Yes. He was medium height, maybe 5'8 or 9', had sort of curly

hair and fairly long.

Again, Miss Ramos, try to be more specific, please.

This third man, when did you see him?

When we got to the place.

But I only saw him briefly.

Describe him.

Well, he was older than the others.

And very tall.

I sort of had the feeling he was a boss.

Why did you think that if you only saw him briefly?

Well, it was just a feeling I had.

I heard them talking a couple of times.

What did they say?

They talked mostly about the money.

I could only hear bits and pieces.

Mr. McGarrett, I was blindfolded in the car. I just don't know where they took

me. When did they take off the blindfold?

Not until they locked me in the room.

Now, from the time they picked you up until you arrived, how long did you

drive?

Oh, I just don't know. Make a guess, please. It's important.

Well, I suppose maybe 30, 40 minutes.

Could you tell where you were? Was it quiet?

Were you in the country?

No, I don't think so.

I don't think we ever left the city.

I could hear traffic sounds, you know, like cars, trucks, and horns.

Was the traffic moving fast or slow?

Fast. As on a freeway?

Yes. That's it.

A freeway. I could hear the cars whooshing by.

Did you hear any special sounds like the surf or seagulls? No.

I'd say that you was Malka of the Lunalilo Freeway.

It's a rough guess.

I'd say she was held somewhere between Kaimuki and the Kahala Mall.

Yeah, that's the residential area.

Now, now think, please. Think, Miss Ramos.

Was there anything you heard that could help us pin down where you were?

Well, no, not really.

Oh, yes.

I did hear a boat whistle every once in a while.

Boat whistle?

How could she hear a boat whistle if she was marked with a freeway?

No way.

Well, she's been with her father for 20 minutes.

Let's go in and see.

We'll get a few of these things cleared up.

Here.

He's dead.

Chin! Kalani!

After I left, anyone else in or out?

No one, Mr. McGirt. The girl. Did she leave? No, sir. No?

Steve.

Check the room below, Dano.

Double the guard on every exit. Get some help from the HPD and start checking

empty rooms.

Ben, get out an APB. Maria Ramos. Call Che.

Have him take this room apart every inch, every thread.

Duke, get me the governor. Top priority.

We made it, brother.

You killed him, didn't you?

Why the tears, huh?

For him?

Shut up!

You have accomplished nothing.

Nothing will change.

Arrusa, Hidalgo, one of them rule our country now.

What do you expect of them?

We had spent more of the same.

But that don't matter because we made a bold stroke and other people are gonna

follow us.

We got a quarter of a million dollars of your daddy's blood money to help us

along.

Are you naive enough?

Naive enough?

Listen to this.

You're the one who's a naive one, honey.

You mentioned some names, huh? Well, let me just lay another one on you.

Teresa.

Teresa Salazar.

He didn't tell you?

Your daddy's mistress, Maria.

My mother.

For three years. For three years he loved her until this child, his child,

started growing in her belly.

Then she became a liability.

Something to get rid of. Rita, there's no need.

Shut up, Carlos.

for a few dollars and a plane ticket.

But what could you possibly gain by killing him?

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Just a minute. There seems to be some kind of confusion

around here, you know?

Rita didn't kill your father.

You did, Maria.

And you know what else? You feel so, uh, so bad about it, you don't even want to

live yourself.

I talked again to Maria's roommate.

her three closest friends, and a boyfriend.

And they all told us what we already know, that Maria and her father were

hassling. They were growing steadily apart.

But here's the kicker.

Every one of them stated emphatically that the girl was not capable of any act

of violence, let alone murder.

Professors, classmates, academic advisors, the same shot. Make good

character witnesses.

More than that, everyone we've talked to says she's never been involved with

militant activists.

What did the militants say?

Headman and Libertad said he'd love to take credit for putting Ramos away, but

political assassination is not their thing.

Okay, let's turn it inside out.

Let's say that her character witnesses are wrong, that the girl has a motive,

that she is capable of violence.

Now, my question, the thing that confuses me, why all these elaborate...

He's this fake kidnapping with accomplices.

The girl could get her father here any time she wanted to. In spite of their

differences, she knew that her father thought the world of her.

She could tell him anything, and he'd be on a plane in five minutes.

We pulled all the fingerprints there were from Ramos's suite, Steve. There

were lots of them, from Ramos himself, all four of his bodyguards, two waiters,

a maid, but nothing. No trace of the girl, places she might have touched.

Furniture, door handles, balcony railing, all clean.

But, uh, why would she wipe her prints off?

What else, Jim? Some material we took from Ramos' shirt.

A kind of thick, flesh-colored makeup.

A common brand used to cover blemishes. Sort of like actor's pancake base.

There was nothing like that in her apartment.

Her roommate said she never used makeup.

Wait a minute.

Suppose... Just suppose... there were two Marias.

But what about her father, Steve?

It would have to be a pretty good makeup job.

I'm only theorizing at this point, Chen. I can't imagine who or how, but it would

explain a lot of things.

Ben, pull the two tapes we have of the girl's voice.

The one the kidnappers sent us, that's the one that Ramos heard.

And my interrogation of the girl on the way to the hotel after she was released.

Che, how long do you think it would take to do a voice print analysis of it?

I'll get on it right away.

and shoved me in the car.

Three that I know of.

The one that grabbed me and shoved me in the car, the one driving, and that other

one at that place.

Steve, ready on those voice comparisons.

Right, Steve.

There's no doubt in my mind. These voice prints show that we've got two different

girls. All right.

What do we do now?

What do they do with Maria?

What do they do with the real daughter now?

We can't let her go?

No. So they kill her.

And make it look like a suicide.

Right, Denham. Maybe there's a chance that Maria is alive.

Okay, get out a press release to all media.

Ask them for special coverage.

Give them all the pertinent facts.

Maybe, just maybe, if the assassins know we're onto them, they'll change of plan.

Maybe we can buy her and us a chunk of time.

That's it.

Everything we touched is clean, except that stuff.

The only thing we got now is the little lady.

So let's do it.

Pepe! Rita!

They know.

It's on all the stations.

They don't know who, but they know it wasn't Maria. Give it back.

Thomas's assassin was apparently a well-disguised imposter rather than his

daughter, as previously believed.

The imposter has not yet been identified, but... Hey, man, this

thing's coming unglued. Shut up! Hank, we gotta get out of here right now.

We're not going anywhere. What are you talking about? We gotta split right now.

McGarrett.

Yes, Jenny.

Put him on.

Frank, put a trace on him.

McGarrett? Yeah.

All right, this is going to be short, so never mind the trace.

The Ramos girl is still alive.

We'll give her back to you on one condition.

We want a plane and a pilot at the airport.

You have until 6 o'clock to deliver.

Uh, now wait a minute, pal.

How do we know she's still alive? I'd like to talk with her.

You're going to have to take my word for it, man. It's our show, not yours.

Remember, six o'clock.

No time, Steve.

Three hours.

Three hours to find her.

Mr. Ortega?

What is it, Mr. McGarrett?

There's a chance that Maria Ramos is still alive, but if we're to find her,

we need your cooperation.

I would like to help you, but I am in a hurry.

There is much happening in my country.

You're aware that your president was murdered by an imposter, but not by his

own daughter.

I have heard that story. It seems far-fetched. Well, it happens to be a

fact. Perhaps.

President Ramos had only one daughter, is that correct?

Yes, that is correct.

What about previous marriages?

Certainly not.

In our country, unlike yours, we marry for life.

Were there any other women in the president's life?

Mr. McGarrett, everyone knew he loved his wife and was a model father.

Now I must be going.

Mr. Ortega, there's a girl's life at stake here.

We have only a matter of hours to try to find her alive. Now, please, please help

us.

All right.

There was a woman many years ago.

She was paid off.

It is rumored that she moved to these islands. When? What was her name?

Mr. McGarrett.

I value my life, too.

Ed, I need an immigration check.

Female, Latin, country of origin...

This may be what you're looking for, Mr. Williams.

Birth recorded to Teresa Elena Salazar.

Honolulu County Hospital.

Baby girl.

Steve.

Take a look at this.

Name is Rita Salazar.

Born to Teresa Elena, May 12th, 1949.

Mother died five years ago.

Two previous arrests, both connected with demonstrations.

One for disturbing the peace, the other for assaulting a police officer. It's

incredible. There were two other suspects arrested with her. We pulled

their files, too.

Check them out, Jenny.

Jenny, get me the control center, the yield car, right away, please.

Fellas, Rita ain't been here in weeks.

Have you rented it to anybody else since she left?

Oh, sure.

They're lining up, trying to get in here.

Nah.

See? They didn't leave nothing.

Tell you where she was going?

Probably didn't know herself.

What about visitors?

Do you have any just before she left?

A couple of guys showed up once in a while.

Can you describe them?

I always buzzed in here kind of late. I never paid attention.

You know, Doc.

Come on, think harder.

Oh, yeah, they were young. You know, the hair.

But I never saw their faces. Not good, anyway.

Okay, let's get Che over here on the double.

Steve, there could be a break. We could use one, Venom.

The lab crew came up with some prints at the Salazar girls' apartment.

You mean the prints match these guys?

Yeah.

That one there is Pepe Olivares.

We haven't been able to find him.

This one is Carlos Rojas.

One previous arrest, possession of dangerous drugs.

We got his last girlfriend's address.

Ben and Chin are checking it out.

5-0. We're looking for Carlos Rojas.

So am I.

Does he live here?

He did.

For a while.

He split about a month ago. I haven't seen him since.

You know these people?

I don't recognize the girl.

The other one's a friend of Carlos.

Know his name?

Pepe. Pepe Olivares.

Creep. He came up to the cabin one time. Cabin?

A place where Carlos used to hold some dumb meetings. It's up in the mountains.

Where is the cabin?

Short time.

Let's go.

We got a plan to catch. Come on.

Look, little girl, don't play games with me. I'm not in the mood.

Come on, let's go get in the plane.

Let her go, Pepe.

There's no need, man.

Don't you touch me, man.

Now, look, I don't want to get rough, but I'm going to do what I have to do,

all right?

Now, you come on.

I said come on. You hear what I'm saying to you?

I mean it, Pepe. So do I.

Steve,

they're coming out on the run.

Girl, be Maria, followed by a man.

Ben, come with me.

um um

All right, one movement, she goes over.

Throw that gun over the edge.

Get over my head.

Okay, McGarrett, what you got in your pocket, man?

Let's see what you got in your coat, McGarrett.

Put that over the edge, McGarrett.

All right, first thing, that helicopter, I don't want to see it.

Get rid of the helicopter, all right?

Dino?

Back off, Dino.

That's real good. Now, I'm going to take her down with me.

Anything goes wrong, she's dead. This sweet little girl is dead, right?

You tell your boys down there what's going on. Come on, tell them right now

where I can see you tell them, huh? You got that?

I'm not kidding.
