Thank you.

tail heavy, so be ready to pull.

Don't worry, I got it.

And try not to bend, fold, spindle, or mutilate my $800 creation, okay?

Don't worry.

Don't try anything fancy, please.

I won't.

Now just concentrate on the pitch control and watch it, because it has a

tendency to dive, okay?

Ready?

We'll see you down at the landing area. Not today, Draper. I'm on flight duty in

two hours.

Some of us do have jobs, you know. Oh, poor Sheila.

Must be rough having to fly to Frisco twice a week in first class. Go fly a

kite. See you next week.

Bye.

That's a nice way in here. Would you like me to catch him? You look like

you're going to have to, bro.

Hey, what in the heck were those 360s all about?

Scraper, I think Sheila's in trouble.

Well, did she signal you?

No, I saw her pull over to the side and get out of here because she's having car

problems. Then some guys were chasing her up the road.

Okay, Carl, take care of the kite. We're going to go back up there and take a

look, okay?

Might have been a primo warrior.

You know, juiced up, clowning around.

They like to spook girls.

Yeah, he sure was spooky all right.

Draper.

Why would they take your car if they were stripping it?

So they could pick it clean, I suppose.

Hey, believe me, guys like that don't hurt people. They just want the parts of

the car, OK?

Yeah. What about those two sailors over in Kaneohe?

Hey, Ma, you don't think they've probably taken her somewhere in... Oh,

no.

Draper, we're calling the police. Come on.

Hurry.

Good

morning,

gentlemen.

You know what that stuff is doing for your officers?

Yeah, waking them up.

Welcome to Monday.

Usual weekend for HPD, I suppose.

Not quite.

What kind of missing persons?

Sheila Romney, airline stewardess.

Last seen leaving disabled vehicle pursued by unidentified male.

And another character was seen taking her car apart.

You know, a few months ago, two sailors had car trouble and called a tow truck.

When the truck arrived, the sailors were dead from knife wounds.

The car was stripped down to the axle.

I see there was a witness to the stewardess incident.

Someone in a hang glider.

Yeah, that's a first.

Let's go to work, gentlemen.

They did a thorough search of the area.

How thorough?

Ma'am, we've got 12 officers out there, 50 Boy Scouts, even a helicopter.

And all you could find was her scarf?

Are you sure that's hers?

It goes with her uniform.

She's my roommate.

and she needs help. She could be lying up there right now in the hills bleeding

to death, and all you do is just stand there.

Molly, Molly, Molly, they've done everything they can. Now, there's no

reason to blame the HPD.

If you'd seen the man that was chasing Sheila, you'd know she's not just

missing. I understand, Miss Taggart, I do.

And I know it doesn't look good, but all of our patrol units have a description

of your friend, her car, and her license.

We'll let you know when we hear something, okay?

I'm sure you will.

Missing persons, Lieutenant Olana.

Miss Taggart, was your friend wearing a very pale blue uniform?

Yes.

I'm sorry to tell you this.

She's dead.

It's a hundred.

Hundred and twenty.

140 and 50.

Hey, keep going.

We got this much in work time.

What, are you kidding me? The way you guys peel a car, you're already making

$75 an hour.

What about those tires?

You can keep.

Hey, these are nice wheels, Oscar. 100 more, all right.

You take them to Sam's Salvage. I can't move them.

Shoo.

We'll keep the tach meters, too.

Hey, I'll tell you what, because you work so hard, I'll give you 175, eh?

Hey, Bluey, take back those tires.

Hey, what's he high on?

Oh, nothing.

He natural at it.

Nobody's that happy.

Oh, I don't know, Oscar.

Yeah, get out of here.

Here. It was like this one. It was a real roach coat. It's blue with some

sort of a design on it.

Do you happen to know where Miss Romney bought her car?

At Kendall Motors.

I helped Sheila pick it out. She couldn't decide on what color she

wanted.

She ordered a stereo so that she could listen to this collection of cassettes

that I have.

I used to drive it when she was away on flight.

Very well. I guess that's enough for a start. I'm sure the dealer will have a

list of the accessories and serial numbers.

Steve?

Looking over the file, I see that one of the sailors in the car-strapping

homicide had bought a transistor radio that looked like earphones, like the

ones you described.

You mean these are the same guys?

They've killed three people.

Could be. We don't know that yet.

Well, why don't you just put them away?

We will.

It takes time.

Yeah, it sure does.

Let me explain something.

In 90% of the homicides, the victim and the killer know each other or are

related. Now, the other 10%, there's no connection.

They're the tough ones.

Those random killings, strangers.

It's like being struck by lightning.

Are you done with me, Mr. McGarrett?

No, yeah.

There may be some questions later.

Okay.

I'll be around.

I have to go call Sheila's mom and dad now.

Tell them their daughter was struck by lightning.

Miss Taggart, don't make it any more difficult than it is.

We don't like it either.

She's just upset, Steve.

Yeah.

So am I.

Okay, get out an APB on this type of vehicle.

Occupants are armed and dangerous. They'll get the serial numbers from

Kendall Motors.

Cover the hot shops, swap meets, junkyards. Anybody who might buy from

car strippers.

Don't expect too much, Steve. The interior is wet.

Someone turn a hose on it.

How about under the dashboard?

They had to reach under there to remove the stereo equipment.

Well, we'll check that and the engine compartment down at the lab.

To unscrew some of the smaller parts, they may have taken off gloves, assuming

they wore them.

They were pretty thorough.

They even took the windshield wipers.

They may regret that, Duke.

Even after killing that girl, they planned on selling the parts, so...

Every piece of equipment from this car is a potential lead.

All right, let's get it down to the lab.

Hey, dunker. Hey, like that score.

Dunker.

Hey, dunker.

Hang glider?

He flew right over us.

Who's the guy?

I don't know. The paper just wouldn't say one hang glider.

I never see hang glider.

Yeah, but I wouldn't see.

What we gonna do?

What are you doing with that control bar?

I'm moving the CG forward about an inch.

Isn't that a little too far?

Now, with a design like this, it should be interesting.

Yeah, for sure.

Hey, Maul, I don't think you have to wait around if you don't feel like it.

I think Carl can handle the rest.

Nothing else to do.

Well, anything to get your mind off Sheila.

I'll work my way out of it

I left it in the laundry.

Switches on.

That's the beauty.

Hey, bro, who's that up there?

Taggart's the name.

Taggart. Draper Taggart.

Draper Taggart.

Sure knows how to ride that thing.

He's the only one who can.

It's a 20-footer. Takes a lot of knowledge and a lot of turning ability

to turn that.

What are you going to do? Listen to it or frame it? What?

I was hoping it would fit my car.

Oh, what do you got?

Porsche. It's made for it.

How do you know?

All the numbers are gone.

Oh, well, see, I have these extraordinary powers.

So do I, 5-0.

Where did you get it?

She didn't give me her name.

She?

Yeah, the old lady on the skateboard.

What are you doing here? You going to buy all that?

Yeah, if it were yours to sell.

Let's just say I'm going to borrow it for a while.

Yeah, sure, sure. What am I going to do, call a cop?

Hey, how's it, Oscar? What's happening?

Hey, Bluey, grab a beer for Oscar.

Doesn't he ever take those things off?

Nah, his brains might fall out.

Oh, yeah, you mean he has some?

Yeah, more than you think, Oscar.

Hey, I'm no dummy, Oscar.

Oh, yeah, you're a real smart fella, Bluey.

You better believe, bro.

Hey, you came to put something in her ears or what?

Where'd you peddle the rest of those sports car parts?

We spread them around.

Cuckoos, Sams, M&Js.

Why?

Because some fuzz came to my shop yesterday, snooping around for auto

parts.

And I just wondered if maybe any of those other guys said anything to you

about that.

No.

Just you.

Hey, you didn't clean everything, right?

Clean? No more numbers for sure.

We went even sandpaper the tires.

Yeah, well, this cop acted like he could track the stuff, and he sure wanted to

for some reason.

Well, you don't know who sold them to you, right?

Right.

Just thought you might want to know, just in case.

Well, now we know.

Just in case.

47 sets of latent fingerprints and 11 palm prints.

I'm surprised you raised that many from a washed car, Che.

Well, the oil and grease held several impressions.

But I don't think we did you any favors, considering that many of those prints

probably belong to mechanics and gas station attendants. What do you mean,

Che? Well, my guess is that some of those prints probably aren't on file,

such as the gas pump boys who are too young to have a driver's license.

Yeah. But most car strippers have been booked at least once, Che.

What about serial number?

Oh, they filed off everything.

We did raise an impression of a number on the radio chassis that matches a

guarantee card.

Anything you can do with the interior components?

Well, after we're certain that we have all of the latent prints, we'll

disassemble those units.

Okay, do what you can, Chuck.

I will.

Don't like to admit that a couple of car strippers are this far ahead of me.

We're looking for shortcuts, and there aren't any.

In some dark corner of our society is still breeding a mentality that kill

people for tachymeters and stereos.

Vano?

Have you seen this?

Yeah, but at least they didn't mention the name or sex of our so-called

witness. We're going to have to assign someone to Molly.

She's not going to be easy to watch.

Well, we'll have to find someone who can keep up with her, that's all.

Wait a minute.

What do you know about hang gliding, Donald?

Not much, Steve.

How would you like to learn?

Do I have a choice?

Oh.

I wish you'd leave that control bar alone, Draper. Just another quarter

inch. You mean it's an inch and a quarter in front of the center of

gravity? Yeah, I think it'll give me a little more control, because if I go for

a record next week, I may have to scrounge all over the island for wind.

It worked just fine for me the other day, and I had it right on the natural

center of gravity.

Yeah, well, you're a little heavier, Maul.

OK,

if you guys will lead me over to the edge, my heart will soar like a turkey.

Okay.

Do you want a free game, Louie?

What the hell is he doing out there?

He's going down at altitude.

He's using only one arm to control it.

Can't control that thing with one arm.

Help! Help!

He unbuckled all right.

Draper's a good swimmer.

What's the current like around here?

Right now there's an incoming swell, but there's a lateral drift moving parallel

to the shore.

He could have used the current to swim out to that point.

So either way, he has a chance.

A chance.

Two of my men are checking the hospitals they'll call if they get any leads.

But my brother wasn't carrying any identification.

If he has amnesia or something, the hospital wouldn't even know who he is.

Well, Duke and Chin will go over the lists of all incoming patients. Now,

we'll know pretty soon.

Yes? Steve, Che Fong's on the line.

Yes, Che.

I can't prove it yet, but I think a piece of the hang glider was penetrated

by a rifle bullet.

When will you know for sure?

Well, I'll have to do a spectrogram.

See, I'd also like to compare this piece with an undamaged kite pole. Is there

one available?

Didn't you say your brother has another kite, same as the one he was flying?

Identical. He's going to use it for his run at the record.

It's at the shop if you need it.

We'll get you the mate to that kite chain.

Right. Thank you.

Chin, what do you got? What'd you find out?

Your brother is not in any of the local hospitals.

We've asked the military to check.

Well, at least we can be thankful for one thing. It doesn't seem to be much

right now, but the newspapers and TV reported this is another hang gliding

accident. It was no accident.

We know that, Molly. So does all that.

They should have been after me.

Listen to me, Molly.

I'm listening.

We're gonna let the killers think that they've taken care of the only witness

to the murder of Sheila Romney. No, they think they're home afraid.

And that makes it so much safer for you.

Remember that. As long as we're the only ones who know.

All I know is that the only two people I care about got killed because of me.

And the great 5-0 can't even catch a couple of dumb spaced-out car boosters.

Molly.

Regardless of what you think of us...

For your own sake, don't talk to any reporters.

None of them.

Please.

Rough case.

Yeah.

Chin, what did you say the name of that hot... Parts dealer was the one where

you confiscated the radio?

Oscar Lang.

Okay, get him in here.

Sit down, Mr. Lay.

Oh, gee, thanks.

You know, this is really a thrill. I mean, me, a humble peasant, having a

chat with Steve McGarrett.

Is the 00 a 50? Wow.

A chat?

Well, yeah. I mean, if this was an official beef, I'd have been booked.

You know, you'd be advising me of my rights, telling me I don't have to say

zip. I can use the horn, whatever.

And anything I may be stupid enough to say can be used to take me down, right?

What makes you think we're not gonna do that?

Let's just say I have to seal up a good housekeeping.

Interesting you should say that.

I want to advise you of the penalty for being an accessory after the fact.

Accessory to what?

Murder. Murder in the first degree. I thought you knew that.

You see, it's your computer.

Your computer coughed up the wrong Oscar.

I'm not into hurting business.

Look here. I'm in all the parts, sir.

Come here.

Recognize this equipment?

Yeah.

Well, you should. You had it up for sale.

Oh, yeah, and I could have got a pretty penny for this, too, you know.

Do you know that some auto manufacturers put their serial numbers inside the

units as well as on the outside?

I don't know.

We also happen to know that this equipment came from the car of a girl

who was murdered by car strippers.

Oh, I didn't.

Hey, I really didn't. I'd like to believe you, pal.

But you do know the names of the guys who sold you this equipment.

Now, when this case goes to the district attorney, and it will, he's going to

have a choice of two charges.

Receiving stolen property, which carries six months to a year, and accessory to

murder, which carries five to ten years.

Minimum.

That's all for now, Mr. Lane.

I don't know anything about a murder!

When we saw this case together, without your help, which we will eventually,

it's going to be too late for any recommendations to the district attorney

about cooperative witnesses.

Think about it.

What's to think about?

Five to ten years?

Hey, son.

Give me a cold one, huh?

So you seen Tonka or Bluey?

Funny. They were in here looking for you.

Did they say anything?

They want to know whether you got back from the 5-0 office.

So they heard.

Everybody heard.

It's not like it's the first time, huh?

I mean, I waltzed around these pigs before.

Keep it.

Listen, if they come back, tell them I'm at my shop.

Moving up in the world there, Oscar.

0850. Yeah, I had me a nice little chat with the big hog himself.

So I give him a few pointers on how to crush crime, stuff things.

What kind of questions they want to ask?

Something about a girl who got dumped, which was news to me.

And if it wasn't, I don't know anything about anything if I want to stay in

business.

What did they want?

Did you know some radios have numbers inside the case like the ones I bought

from you?

Did you know that, stupid?

So if you're worried about me being in their program, forget it. I didn't tell

them anything.

Let's go, Bluey.

I don't trust them. Let me take care of them.

Here, let's dance it out.

Let's go, Bluey. Come on, Blue!

Come on, Blue!

Come on, Bluey.

You're not gonna hurt you.

You're damned right.

Central, Kelly, 5-0.

Need readout license Abel Oboe Baker 307.

Let's go.

Mr. McGarrett, there was something on the Coast Guard radio about a bullet

wound. Why would someone want to shoot a hang glider pilot? Sorry, I can't answer

any question until a pathologist has made an examination.

Because they thought it was me! And the one who saw it was Sheila! They shot me

with it! This is the truth!

It's all my fault!

Wait a minute. Did you actually see the killer? Come on, fellas. Give her a

break. She's had a hard day. Will you please? Just a minute.

Do you think you would recognize it if you saw him?

Did you see who the killers were, Max? All right, gentlemen, knock it off, will

you? What do you think that we can talk about this? So long.

Hey,

run.

The pilot described the killers as, and I quote, a couple of locals in a light

move.

She went on to say that she was flying her brother's kite that day, wearing his

jumpsuit. When asked if the wrong witness had been murdered, Steve

McGarrett replied, no comment.

Hey, Bluey, guess what?

What? We got a little job to do.

Steve? Chin on line one.

Yes, Chin.

We have traced the address of a blue custom van belonging to Thomas Unker.

He has a felony record.

Okay.

Have HPD check his prints against those from Sheila Romney's car.

They're already on it. Would you like to join us? What's the address?

10-37.

Yes, he called to say he'd be out of radio contact.

He's driving Molly Taggart to her apartment in the Land Cruiser.

Why the Land Cruiser?

Well, she wanted to pick up her brother's hang glider.

I see.

Okay, when you hear from Dano, tell him that I'd like the girl down here. She

may have to identify a suspect, and under no circumstances will she do any

flying.

Steve's going to want to know why you wanted this kite.

Tell him it belongs to me.

I know you want it if you're going to manufacture more.

Take over your brother's business.

Well, the design has to be proven out first by a long, clean flight.

Fill it up, please.

Where are you going?

To the ladies' room.

Do you want to go with me?

Bye.

This is McGarrett.

Yeah, still cool.

Look like they just left.

Yeah, but two rifles of different calibers.

A .30-06 and a .223.

Kimo?

Check with the neighbors around here.

See if you can find out what other vehicle they're driving beside this.

William to McGarrett.

Get these to the lab, Chen.

Yeah, Dono, go ahead.

Molly got away from me.

I fell for an old trick I didn't think she'd pull.

Have you any idea where she might be headed?

No, but she's got that extra hang glider of her brother's.

Well, these guys are still on the loose, Dono. You better get out an APB on the

girl and meet me back at the office.

Right.

Central to McGarrett.

I have a message for you.

Yeah, go ahead. This is McGarrett.

The station manager at KGMB-TV said you might want to watch the... Next news

broadcast.

A new world's record for hang gliding may be set over Oahu today by Miss Molly

Taggart. She'll be flying in place of her brother Draper Taggart. His body was

found yesterday in the ocean with a fatal gunshot wound.

We recently learned that Miss Taggart will be taking off within the hour from

a location soon to be disclosed. And we'll have that announcement a little

later.

What do you think she'll cry from, Dennis?

Hard to say exactly, but it's less above one than all of them, where they've been

doing most of the test for him.

Yeah. Okay.

Tell Duke I want a team of his best men.

No uniforms, no marked cars, and on the double. Right.

As soon as I get off, call the radio station.

And then 5-0. Tell McGarrett I'll be hanging up there like a $2 turkey.

I wish you wouldn't do this, Molly.

It could be suicide.

It's the only way I can think of to nail those apes.

Tell McGarrett I've got a radio.

Okay?

Okay.

Steve, there she is.

Good.

Got to be a thousand places along here they could hide and pop away at her.

Central to McGarrett. Central to McGarrett.

McGarrett, go ahead.

We've got a patch.

You can communicate directly.

Good. Thank you.

Denim, grab the rifle. I'm going to take a look from the top of the hill.

Molly, we're here.

We're here, and I wish you were, too. Why did you do a dumb thing like that

and make yourself a sitting duck?

Never mind that now. A shark just hit my kite. I'm getting away from this side of

the mountain.

From which direction? Which direction did it come from?

The tower.

Dino?

He's over there in the tower. Take him.

Molly, listen to me.

I want you to head away from here right now.

Get out of range. We'll take it from here and land on the beach.

Okay.

I did it. The end of the best slope.

Molly, I said get out of here. Get out of range.

This is McGarrett.

Unit 2 converged on the west ridge.

Let's go.

Freeze! Put the rifle down.

I said put it down!

Put your hands on your head and face me.

HBD!

Book it.

I'm going down the hill. Get an ambulance down there.

You all right?

Did you get him?

Yeah, we got him.

Both of them? Yeah, Molly, both of them.

Now I can go for the record.

Well, wait a few days, will you?

My brother's kite can do it.

Looks like you're going to live, kiddo.
