Thank you.

Thank you.

Very well.

Now, the routes the royal family will be taking are well covered. HPD will

provide us with any additional manpower we might need.

What about the airport?

Red carpet will be down.

It'll be roped off from the aircraft to the car.

Excuse me. Mr. McGarrett, you have a call on line three.

Oh, here. Take it here. Well, thank you.

Hey, Garrett.

Steve Chen.

We just got a hot call from a Mr. Bowman, his research director at Kern

Corporation. He's been trying to reach you.

Did he say what it was about, Chen?

No, but he did say it was an emergency situation, and he won't speak to anyone

but you.

You really sounded upset.

All right, Chen.

Dano should be finishing up that seminar at the university pretty soon, so pick

him up and meet me there.

Will do, Steve.

No, I don't think it's more important than anything else.

I think what's needed most in police work is a good deal of patience and a

good, strong set of legs.

Well, I'm afraid that's about all the time we have for now. I'd like to

personally thank Dan Williams for... Professor Davis, I have a question for

Mr. Williams.

Some other time, Mr. Stevens. No, no, no, I'll be brief.

Sure, go ahead.

Mr. Williams, what is your opinion of the cases...

where the accused is convicted solely on the basis of circumstantial evidence.

My opinion?

I don't quite know what you mean.

Oh, you know.

Do you think it's right?

I mean, some people have been convicted unjustly, haven't they?

Well, if you could give me a specific case, it would be a lot easier.

Well... Sorry for the interruption. Danny?

What's up? Well, I'm not sure.

Steve wants us to meet him right away.

Okay.

Sorry, I am going to have to cut it short. Something's come up.

Oh, no problem. Believe me.

Okay.

George, thank you for coming. Okay. Thank you. Bye.

Thank you. Thank you.

You must understand that this was no run-of-the-mill burglary.

What do you mean?

We mean, Mr. McGarrett, that what's missing is a very deadly chemical called

TZ-40.

or commonly referred to as nerve gas.

That's right, gentlemen.

Also known as the ultimate weapon.

One drop placed on the skin will cause death within seconds.

This substance, is it a liquid? In its present form, yes.

Can it be vaporized, Doctor?

If someone had the proper technology, this is the danger.

If it were a vapor released inside a building or in a heavily populated area,

everyone would die, the innocent along with the guilty.

Whoever the guilty are.

You say the security guard discovered the theft?

Yes, incredibly.

He just run a complete check on the laboratory about 20 minutes before.

20 minutes?

Even for a pro, that's quite an accomplishment, isn't it?

I've instructed Captain Leonaco of our plant security force to give you all the

support you might need.

Thank you.

Dano, the royal family arrives in less than four hours. I still have to run a

final security check, so take over. Gentlemen, thank you.

Would I tell you? There he is. You don't trust me? You dummy!

How are we covered at the Valley of the Temples?

Nothing so far.

Didn't know they were going there. Well, they'll be in the area. I have a hunch

the royal family will want to see it.

Consider it covered.

William to McGarrett. Come in, Steve.

William to McGarrett. Come in, Steve.

Yeah, McGarrett, what do you got down?

Steve, I walked the entire building with the security guard who was on duty

yesterday.

The inside access to the roof is still bolted and locked.

There's no access in other buildings.

Whoever made the hit... Knows his way around.

Yeah, up and down.

We found ropes in the shaft, but given the time element, he really had to fly.

Che is still out there going over the lab, but I got to admit, I'm not very

hopeful. Any witnesses turn up yet?

No, we're still looking.

HPD has two teams out there coordinating with the company's security force.

Okay, Dono, stay on it.

I thought we had an agreement.

You weren't gonna call me here anymore.

I got something for you this time.

Big, really big.

It's an old song, Harry.

Better get someone else to write you some new material.

Well, does nerve gas ring a bell?

Should it?

Listen.

Only the guilty need be afraid.

OK, Harry. What are you selling?

Look, I can't talk now. If you're interested, be at

Kalakaua and Lures in half an hour.

Just you.

Nobody else.

There's a pay phone there. I'll call you.

Harry. Harry.

Harry.

Was that all right?

Did I do okay?

Terrific, Harry.

Just marvelous.

You should have been an actor, you know that?

But then, of course, you did pick a more noble profession, didn't you?

Look, I don't know who you are or how you know me, but

please, let me go.

Not yet, Harry.

Not yet.

A little while.

Well, what happens now?

We wait.

Okay, Harry, go ahead.

You alone?

Yeah, I'm alone.

Where do we meet?

Sure I know where it is.

Oh, uh, 20 minutes.

No, Harry, just me.

Right.

He's come.

Good.

Good.

Things are going along very nicely, yes.

Dan Williams.

Harry?

I haven't time to explain.

There's been a change of plans.

Time's run out, Harry. You better level with me. What's going on?

I can't talk now. You can and you will.

I tell you, these people are crazy.

They won't stop at anything.

I'm going to leave the island before it happens.

Before what happens?

What sort of threats are they making?

I'll give it to you at the airport.

The ramp to gate 22.

That's the best I can do.

I'll tell you something else.

You better show, or a lot of people are gonna die.

Well, it's all over.

How do you feel, Harry?

Just great.

Good. Because you're going to need your strength, Harry.

Tell me something, Harry.

Do you believe in people coming back from the dead?

You don't, huh?

Well, maybe this will make you a believer, Harry.

I don't know.

I never... I never seen a cop, huh?

He's my father, Harry.

And my father doesn't like people who don't tell the truth.

Yeah.

Sergeant Stevens,

right?

Right.

Yeah.

Whatever happened to him?

He committed suicide, Harry.

You and your friend Danny Williams killed him.

You killed him, Harry.

Tell him, Father.

Isn't that right?

Look, I didn't have anything to do with that.

It was Williams who had your father suspended.

But you helped him, don't you see?

No, he asked me about your father taking payoffs.

I didn't tell him a thing.

You told him everything, Harry.

You told him everything.

And it was all lies.

Circumstantial evidence, Harry.

I know, you see, because my father told me about it. My father told me.

When I saw Harry Lane there, I called you guys right away.

Okay, let's go back.

Are you absolutely sure it was Williams I was asking for?

What did it look like?

Curly-headed guy, light blue suit.

Okay, so he went upstairs.

Did you see him later?

Yeah, he came down about five minutes later.

Five minutes?

Are you sure about that?

Yeah, and he seemed to be in a big hurry, too.

Has anyone else been around looking for Harry lately besides Williams?

No.

Okay, thanks. That'll be all for now.

Something weird's happening here.

We know Danny went upstairs, but we don't know for sure he even saw Harry.

Well, if he did see him...

It must have been only minutes before he was murdered.

I'd better try to locate Danny.

Okay, I'll get a backup out here to cover the premises and question the

residents of this pleasure palace.

Thank you.

be shaking in your shoes, eh, Danny boy?

Who is this?

A friend of Harry Oakland's.

He's gonna be a little late, but that's okay.

Now we'll have a chance to talk.

You got a name?

All you need to know is that I'm the head of the organization Harry told you

about.

We've got the nerve gas, kiddo.

We've got a target all picked out.

I'm listening.

Yeah, well, first I want you to listen to this and listen very attentively.

We've got spotters all over this airport.

You make a move to split or use the thrones and we make our strike.

No second chances.

You got that?

I got it.

Good.

Well, it's target time.

Take a look out your window.

You're pretty confident, aren't you?

What makes you think you can break through our security so easily?

Oh, well, you're forgetting that what we have is a very silent, very versatile

weapon. And we have the technology to do the job even under the most adverse

conditions.

Add to that, of course, the element of surprise.

Okay, it's your turn to listen, friend.

If any harm comes to the royal family or anyone else...

We're going to hunt you down and we're going to nail you, no matter how long it

takes us.

Oh, you're pretty good at that, aren't you?

Tracking people down, even when they're innocent.

Doesn't your conscience ever bother you, doesn't it?

I will not shut up. I will not shut up. He cannot talk to us like that.

Okay, okay, okay. You're right.

You are always right.

Okay.

We're moving into phase two.

After you hang up, I want you to move away from those phones.

Your next instructions will come from Harry Oakland.

He'll be along in a moment.

Why did you give them to me yourself, hotshot?

You'll find out soon enough.

Remember now, we're watching you.

Any move to contact your cop friends, and you can say bye-bye.

Hello, operator?

Give me the police.

Okay.

Let's go. Let's move it.

Colonel, if you wish to depart from your itinerary, and I sincerely hope you

don't, we'll need at least six hours' advance notice.

I understand, sir.

Are we free to move about within the hotel itself?

Of course, providing you have an escort.

And if we have any special, any emergency needs?

There'll be people in the command post just down the hall 24 hours a day.

Now, any one of them.

We'll be glad to assist you in any way. There'll be a guard outside your door,

of course.

Thank you very much. You do your job well, Mr. McGarrett. Thank you, Colonel.

Good luck.

Central to McGarrett.

Yeah, McGarrett. What do you got?

Steve, Chin, could you come to the office?

There's something I have to show you.

Yeah, I'm on my way, Chin.

HPD found this behind the hotel.

Serial number checks out.

It's Danny's old service automatic.

And the autopsy report says Oakland was killed with a .45.

Could have been any .45, not necessarily this one.

Any prints on it?

Danny's. All over it.

Steve, I'm sure Daniel will have an explanation, but we've got to find him

first.

It's been a little five hours now without any word.

Ballistic's reporting you?

Should be out any time. Push.

Steve, got a wild one for you.

An anonymous caller told us we'd find Harry Oakland's killer at the airport

waiting to take the 6 o'clock flight to Los Angeles.

Said we'd recognize the name from the reservations list.

The name is...

Danny Williams.

Mr. Williams?

What do you guys want?

We've got orders to bring you in. Why?

They didn't tell us.

It has to be some kind of mistake.

Look, fellas, I'm walking in tightrope. I shouldn't even be seen with you guys.

Hey, what are you guys hassling me? Oh, it's come direct from McGarrett. Now,

come along quietly.

Okay, you blew it anyway.

But only on condition if you get through to 50 right away.

Tell them the royal family is not to leave their room. Not even with an

escort. You got it?

I guess we can do that.

Let's go.

Right there, please.

Nathan.

Steve. What the hell is going on? I was hustled out of that airport like a

common criminal.

What's this all about?

Sit down, then.

My message got through okay.

The Rowe family is safe, but we've got problems.

Big ones.

Harry Oakland's been murdered.

When? This morning, about 11 o'clock.

I was there around 11.

I know.

Blistick's report just came in.

This is the murder weapon.

I realize now the organization is probably an organization of one.

But I had no way of knowing.

Any of those people in the airport could have been working for that guy.

So there I was, waiting for a dead man.

Okay.

Okay, let's run it down.

Somebody steals a nerve gas, gets to Harry...

and forces him to contact you.

Now, again through Harry, he gets you to the airport where you're totally

vulnerable, he kills Harry with your service automatic, then he calls in a

plane reservation to L.A. in your name. Then makes an anonymous call to Duke.

Right. I tell H.P.D. to pick you up.

Now, again, this creep, somehow, he knows that when the officers arrive,

you're gonna resist.

You're going to protest because of the threat to the royal family. That's

pretty neat, isn't it, John?

Yeah, and very thin, at least from a grand jury standpoint.

Why?

John, I didn't leave anything out.

All right, how do you explain the gun?

Had to be stolen.

Without your knowledge?

Look, I kept it in the trunk for years.

Took it out once in a while to oil it and clean it. I haven't fired it since I

got out of the service.

But the guy that broke into that lab without leaving a trace could sure do it

to my apartment.

Why not?

Okay, John, give it to us straight. What's your legal opinion?

Unless we can find some evidence to bust up the frame, you'll be indicted. How

can they indict on such skimpy evidence? What's the motive?

Give me the motive.

Look, I admit talking to Harry on the telephone, but I haven't seen him in

person for three weeks.

The evidence may be circumstantial, but you've given me nothing to discredit it.

At one point when I was talking to the guy at the airport, he sounded kind of

crazy.

Crazy? What do you mean?

Most of the time he was together. He was cool. But when I told him we were going

to nail him, no matter what, his whole attitude changed. It was like talking to

another person.

Well, try to remember exactly what he said, Dan. It could be very important.

The gist of it was that I hunt people down.

I put them away.

Even when they're innocent.

Oh, yeah, my conscience should be bothering me more.

Conscience? That's a strange word, isn't it?

Anything else?

Yeah, it's kind of bizarre.

It sounded like he was carrying on a conversation with himself the same time

he was talking to me.

That's just great.

So what we have, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is a psycho using Harry

Oakland as a pawn and the nerve gas as a club.

Now, the snitch is dead.

We don't have the psycho, we don't have the nerve gas, and we're asking you not

to indict.

I'm afraid that's not going to make it, gentlemen. I can hardly wait to read it

in the papers.

Hey, wait a minute.

What about the papers?

What if our psycho, if that's what he is, has nothing to read in the papers?

You lost me.

Get me John Scott of the Star Bulletin, please.

Dino.

Pull all of the cases, say, in the last five or six years where you've used

Harry Oakland as your source. Get Chin to help you, maybe to ring a bell.

Right.

Am I to arrest Steve?

You're not going to run away, are you, Don?

How can I? You canceled my reservation.

And so the situation in the Middle East remains unchanged.

OPEC nations still unwilling to commit themselves to any... They must know

they've had plenty of time.

And now the weather.

For Honolulu and vicinity, mostly cloudy.

With a few brief showers... The weather?

Trade winds 10 to 20 miles per hour.

The weather?

The weather!

It's in the paper.

It's got to be in the paper.

I'll find out.

I'll find out.

Ah, here you are, boys.

Still coming up empty, huh? Yeah.

I never realized how much we used Harry's services.

I think he was underpaid.

McGarrett.

No, no, no. Don't put him on yet. Start a trade. Yeah.

Sergeant Cool. Put a trace of McGarrett's call. Line two. Right away.

All right. Put him on.

McGarrett. McGarrett?

How come your buddy's not in jail where he belongs, huh?

Answer me that.

Who are you talking about, Fred?

Are you afraid of the evidence, McGarrett?

It's all there, you know. It's all there.

All I see is circumstantial evidence.

You're going to have to do better than that.

Don't you know that somebody can be convicted solely on the basis of

circumstantial evidence?

What is your opinion of the cases where the accused is convicted solely on the

basis of circumstantial evidence?

No, no, no. It has to be a lock. We're nowhere near that with Officer Williams.

Some other time, Mr. Stephenson. Oh, no, no. I'll be brief.

Look, I don't know if you're really hearing me, McGarrett. I don't know if

you're hearing me.

Well, I hear you, but you're not making much sense.

Uh, we had a lot more than that on your father, Stephenson.

What do you mean?

I mean sworn testimony from two underworld heavyweights, for instance,

who said that your father was up to his neck in gambling in the rackets.

You're lying. You're lying.

You are lying.

No, no.

It's all black and white. If you want to meet me someplace, I'll show you the

case file.

No.

I'm not going to meet you anyplace, McGarrett.

I am going to do what I promised.

I am gonna use that nerve gas, McGarrett, and you and Williams are both

gonna be blamed.

Got it? Got it.

Location. Thank you.

Phone booth near the Illikai Hotel.

Illikai? No.

Uh, get me Duke at the Illikai Control Center, please.

Looks like his car.

Check it out.

Sergeant, McGarrett.

Any sign of the suspect?

Not yet, Mr. McGarrett.

Well, his car is here. He must be around somewhere. I want to know the second you

spot him.

Will do.

Okay, Don, I'll take that.

Let's go.

Oh, there he is. Get down.

Jen, let me see the glasses.

Sergeant, this is McGarrett. The suspect is on the roof. It looks like he has the

nerve gas in a flare gun cartridge.

Do we proceed as planned, sir?

Yes, but make sure the other officers stay inside the temple. Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

He's on the roof.

McGarrett doesn't want any firing unless it's absolutely necessary to save lives.

Okay, move out.

They should just about be in position, Mr. McGarrett.

Yes.

Yes, I see them.

Brad?

Brad Stevens?

Look on both sides of you.

Look to your right.

Now you don't have a chance.

The nerve gas cannot penetrate those uniforms.

Come on down. You won't be harmed.

I got an idea.

I think I can talk him down. I think I can get to him. How?

Well, let me try.

What have we got to lose?

You, us, not to mention that HPD team in there if he fires that nerve gas

capsule. No.

No, it's too risky, Dano.

So is crossing the street.

Okay, go.

I'll cover you.

Be careful.

I can still fire this thing, you know.

The way this stuff spreads, well, I could probably still kill some of that

precious royal family of yours.

Brad, that's not the royal family.

They're police men and police women.

The royal family was moved to Maui this morning.

Scared about your father?

He was a policeman.

You believed in him. You loved him. You killed my father!

Your father killed himself.

You're lying!

No, Brad.

I'm not.

He called me that day after he left the hearing room.

I don't want to hear any more of that!

You're going to hear it, Brad. You're going to hear it all.

No, no!

He couldn't bring himself to face you.

No!

Because you would know the truth, that he was.

He was a corrupt cop!

Good, he's got him, he's got him.
