Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to witness a recreation of the infamous

Wilcox Rebellion, just as it happened in 1889.

Not just a bank heist, but the biggest in Hawaii's history, and right under our

noses.

Thank you.

Arthur, where are you taking me?

I haven't time for nonsense.

I guarantee, Henry, it'll be a most unique experience for you.

You, of course, know the legend of King Kamehameha's grave, right?

That's for my freshman students, Arthur.

The morning star alone knows where Kamehameha's bones are guarded. Isn't

that how it goes?

That's close enough. What of it?

Suppose I were to tell you that I have discovered that grave, Henry.

Then I would say that either you're the victim of a hoax or totally ignorant of

ancient Hawaiian lore.

Is that what you would say?

Well, then take a look right down there.

Arthur, give me your hand.

Certainly, just a minute.

Arthur! What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

No, Henry, just brushing up on the ancient lore of Hawaii.

Very fine for last year.

But we need something special for this day's Kamehameha Day celebration.

Chamber of Commerce agrees with the governor.

Something new is called for this year.

Perhaps something that touches on Hawaiian history.

Oh, excuse me.

Sorry I'm late. Edna.

Gentlemen, Mr. Chairman, could I have it more for just one minute? I've been

working on something.

I'd like to propose a reenactment.

of an historical event right on the palace grounds. A little bit of history

coming to life, as it were, within view of literally hundreds of thousands of

people. Now, it just so happens I have the details right in here.

The Wilcox raid. Wasn't that an armed rebellion?

Yes, luckily one that failed, Steve.

Wilcox tried to overthrow the constitutional government and set up an

absolute rule.

with Princess Liliuokalani as the figurehead. Actually, they did pretty

good. They held the palace, several buildings for a whole day, and were

finally routed by the loyal Hawaiian army.

I assume it's all been checked for accuracy.

Oh, yes, it certainly has. I had it read by Professor Henry Kalani, who,

incidentally, approved it enthusiastically.

By the way, where is Henry?

This is the first meeting he's missed.

No idea. Have you seen him, Steve?

Not since we played chess about a week ago.

Well, I wouldn't be too concerned.

He told me they have a heavy enrollment at the university, and you know Henry.

Well, this looks very good to me.

I'm only worried about one thing, Governor.

What's that, Steve?

Well, something like this is bound to attract even larger crowds than in

previous years, and crowds tend to bring every crook and con man out of the

woodwork. That's quite true, Governor, and the business community is very

concerned about that.

Well, I'm sure you can handle it, Steve.

We've already started.

If you'll stop by HPD later, Harry, Danny Williams will show you what we're

doing about the problem.

Fine. Well, what's the verdict?

All those in favor of letting Wilcox raid the palace, say aye.

Aye.

Unanimous. Hey, that's terrific.

Thank you, Governor.

Appreciate it.

Good work. Thank you so much, Harry. Steve, thank you very much.

You sure we're headed toward Waikiki?

Honey, it just don't look right to me.

Hey, look, you don't like the way I'm driving, then get out right here.

Now, that's the best idea you've had.

Come on.

Hey, one more thing before you go.

Leave all your money on the seat.

Now!

We ain't. Easy, honey, easy.

I think this fella means what he says.

So we'll just give him what he wants.

Do you want big bills or singles?

HPD, honey.

Taxi Joe.

Still using the phony cab bit, huh?

How many years in the cage do you need to learn it's getting a little shop

-worn?

Okay, listen, everyone.

I know your lawyers will be here soon, and most of you will be out on bail by

this evening, but I want you to take this as a solemn warning.

We're getting ready for our annual Kamehameha Day parade, and five O's

guarantee the governor there will be no heists, no scams, and no rip-offs of any

kind. Anyone who violates that pledge will be in trouble.

Big trouble.

Understood?

Okay, lock him up.

Single file.

Move it!

At least you'll give it a little scare.

Danny, just off the press.

Missing persons bulletin.

Professor Henry Kalani. Yeah.

You better get this to Steve right away. OK.

McGarrett. Steve, I just got an MPB on Henry Kalani.

Kalani is missing?

Have you checked his apartment?

Yeah, we did.

Everything was in order, according to his landlady. No signs of a struggle.

What about hospitals in the morgue? No, not a sign, Steve.

And no record of any airline or steamship ticket purchase in his name.

All right, I want an all-points bulletin put out on him immediately to every

police officer from Diamond Head to Kahuku Point.

Full description.

Hello, Mr. Horton.

How is this?

Here, 40, 35 minutes.

Right on time, Mr. Horton. I like that.

And who are you, mister?

What you rang?

I thought my message might give you a hint.

That message meant nothing to me.

But you're here, aren't you?

Three banks, Mr. Horton. Three banks that were robbed.

Three cases unsolved by the police, but I studied the methods used in each one.

Remarkable how consistent you are.

Let me straighten you out.

The last guy tried to shake me down had a real bad accident. Oh, relax.

They never found all the pieces. I'm not a shakedown artist, Horton.

Matter of fact, I'm a fan of yours.

You're the best bank mechanic in the business.

Or were, until the Ala Moana Trust.

Allowing four minutes for a getaway? Gonna cut that in half. We'll do better

next time.

We'll do better?

We're going into business, Mr. Horton.

And an enormous profit to both of us.

How do I know you're not the fuzz?

A policeman asking you to commit a crime.

Come on, Horton, you've been around. You know that's entrapment. It would

virtually guarantee your acquittal.

My acquittal for what?

Suppose, Horton, I were to tell you about a plan for a different kind of

bank job.

No problems about getaway time.

No worries about alarm systems or guards. The bank president would

actually be helping you.

If I were to tell you about that kind of plan, what would you say?

I'd say you were nuts.

I'd sure like to hear about it.

I heard you worked miracles with a sewing machine at the woman's

reformatory. Yeah, I'm a regular Betsy Ross.

What's the pitch?

I need two sets of costumes made to order. One set nobody knows about.

A couple dozen all together.

A lot of work.

A hundred bucks a piece.

And a hundred more if nobody knows about it.

When did Betsy Ross ever say no?

Get out and don't come back!

I'll get him, Kimo.

Hey, Mother Horton.

What'd you get out, man?

Just sprang me. How you doing?

Would it do me any good to complain?

Kimo, old buddy, your luck's about to change. Come here.

I tell you, gentlemen, I think this is the first time in history that rebel

leaders tried to recruit the Chamber of Commerce.

But I am going to need a few volunteers.

Now, what do you say?

Just a few. I know there's some frustrated actors out here. Now, come

on, help me out here. Sam?

Okay, good.

Jeff? What do you say? Okay, good.

And Harvey Adams, can you help me out? Thank you.

Jimmy Hahn?

What do you say?

Okay, Jimmy. I'm going to need one more.

Well, the Army taught me never to volunteer, but for you, Arthur...

Okay, let's hear it for Harry.

Yeah, yeah.

Joey, what are you doing?

Hey, Mr. Horton.

How you doing? All right.

It's good to see you.

Kimo tells me you got busted again.

Yeah, I'm out on bail now.

I'd blow this island if I had the bread.

Suppose I could supply that for you.

Big Chuck.

What's the deal?

I need a wheel man, a good one.

Listen, listen, give me, here.

I'm talking about minimum $10 million take.

Split six ways.

Double for the idea, man.

Who's he?

Only a genius.

Tell me more.

Okay, everything's set.

You're beautiful, Horton.

I got key people for every job.

But everything has to come off like clockwork.

This has got to be one of the biggest bank jobs in history, you know that?

That's great with me, man. I've been waiting for a long time.

Remember, Horton, once everything's in motion, nothing must stop us. Absolutely

nothing.

You know that?

You can count on me.

It's a good place to rest. I'm beat.

Chen,

who found the body?

Some couple hiking, we saw hands sticking out of the ground.

God, what a loss.

Brilliant mind.

Tano, get the word out to 5-0 and all police districts.

No leaves, no days off, no rest.

Until the killer of Professor Kalani is found.

Right. Sergeant, get the body to the morgue. I want a full workup as soon as

possible.

McGarrett, 5-0.

Tell me exactly what happened, please.

We were out hiking.

I was just on my way over to your office. What do you got?

The autopsy report of Professor Kalani indicates swelling and local hemorrhages

on the scalp.

He sustained blows by a heavy object, but there was no contusion or hemorrhage

in the brain itself, so we can discount that as a cause of death.

We did find aspiration of dirt occluding the trachea too.

Meaning what, Doc? He died of suffocation.

You mean he was buried alive?

Right.

He was hit on the head, buried, and then reached out before he died. My God, how

horrible. No vehicle found in the area, which means he probably drove up with

his killer.

Could be somebody he knew.

Yeah, somebody who had the grave already dug and waiting. But why?

Probably wasn't robbery.

His wallet and money were still on him.

Okay, Doc, thank you.

You say Professor Kalani's apartment was checked carefully?

By the Missing Persons Bureau, and I looked in again myself.

And? No sign of a struggle, forced entry, but I did find one thing I

thought you might find interesting.

What is this?

Kalani's copy of the scenario for the Wilcox raid.

Look at the cover.

Question mark. Yeah, I found it on the desk near the phone.

That might indicate he was talking to someone about it. Did you check with the

phone company?

He made three phone calls the day before he disappeared. His secretary keeps a

log. I've checked out all the numbers.

What are they?

First it's to the library for some reference material.

second to the mainland, talk to his publishers, and the third to the museum.

What museum?

Museum of the Pacific.

That's interesting.

Arthur Lambert is curator there.

Thank you, darling.

Pleasant surprise to see you out here. Sorry to bother you often. Oh, no, no

problem. We're investigating Professor Kalani's death.

Yeah, it's a tragic thing. I still can't believe it.

We just learned that the day before he died, he made a telephone call here to

your museum.

Well, it wouldn't be unusual, Steve.

You know Professor Kalani was an expert on Hawaiian history.

But that call wasn't to me, by the way.

Do you know if he spoke to anyone else?

No, I don't. I'll certainly ask around. No, no.

That's not necessary.

We'll take care of that. If you'll just give me a list of museum employees.

Absolutely.

Nathaniel, would you get a staff list for Mr. McGarrett, please?

One more thing. You mentioned that Professor Kalani read and approved your

scenario.

When was that?

Well, let me see.

At least a month ago.

Long before our last committee meeting, Steve.

And you had no recent conversation?

No, no. None at all.

Thank you, Nathaniel.

Thank you.

We'll be in touch.

Anytime, Steve. You know that.

Hey, Horace. How's it going?

Can I have your attention, please?

These are your schedules for the big day, gentlemen.

They tell you which limousine you've been assigned to or what time's going to

pick you up, so if you could take one before you leave, I'd appreciate it. And

remember now...

I want you ready, in costume, in front of your house before the limo gets

there. I mean, we can't have a revolution without troops.

Okay.

Pete. We got the intelligence report on all known conmen, thieves, and

pickpockets in Honolulu.

We can't watch them all. We brought them all in within the last 48 hours. Give

them the impression under a microscope.

Good idea, Don.

Security reports in all government buildings and commercial buildings in

the area.

Well, nobody gets in today unless authorized by us or the parade

committee. Looks tight. Let's keep it that way. Thank you, Jim.

HPD marksmen on rooftops along the route of the parade.

We've got every VIP in the way to protect today.

Well, there's one we didn't protect, Duke.

Professor Kovani.

Who's that for?

The governor sent this for you, sir.

Oh.

Thank you.

What's so funny?

Ever saw a lei before?

All right, let's go, fellas.

Let's go.

How you doing? Good. How are you? Go on in there.

Okay. Ready?

Okay, Joe.

Well, I couldn't ask for a nicer day.

The weather's fine anyway.

No leads on the Henry Kalanick building, huh?

No sign.

How you doing?

Good, good. Glad to see you.

You all right?

There you go.

Thank you.

You.

I know you.

Police station.

Oh, I know.

I saw you there.

What are you doing driving this car?

You got me wrong, sir.

Oh, no. Oh, no. I'm not wrong.

No,

wait. I'm not going with you. Get in the car. I don't trust you. All right, get

in the car. I'm going to check on it.

Steve, Harry Lewis was shot.

He was shot?

He was found in his car on Kilauea Avenue, critically wounded.

What was he doing on Kilauea? He was supposed to be in the parade.

I don't know. They took him to Leahi Hospital. He keeps asking for you.

Excuse me, sir.

Take over.

You in trouble?

Here's that way.

All right, come on. Everybody out. Come on. Move it.

Move it. Move it.

He won't get them out of there, man. Come on.

Out. Out. Move. Move. Move.

Any of them get itchy feet, you blast them.

All right, guys. Come on. Come on. Fast as you can. Come on.

All right.

Come on. Come on, guys. All right. Let's go.

Dr. Matsu?

How's Harry doing?

I'm sorry, Steve.

We tried everything.

He's gone.

Okay, Tom. Thank you.

Steve, I just had a careful look at Lewis' car.

Yeah. No bullet holes, but dried blood on the outside door handle.

That would probably mean he was shot before he got into the car.

He was one of Wilcox's raiders.

Weren't they supposed to be picked up by limousine from their home?

Yeah, 20 men, four cars.

Let's see if that's what happened.

Sucker, you know what to do? Yeah.

All right, guys, come on, let's go.

Well, I think the main event's just about here.

I guess I'd better go.

Good luck.

Just as it happened.

We surrender.

Take over. Thank you, sir. We already have.

Let's open the vault.

Hey, they said there'd be a rebellion.

The vault.

But it's on a time lock.

I'll take care of it.

The palace and government buildings are now in a state of siege.

Carter West, 1912.

You're making a big mistake.

You'll never get away with it. Get him out!

Okay, that should do it.

Okay, ready?

Let's go.

Outnumbered and faced with superior firepower,

the rebels soon panicked.

And surrender.

Now now, check inside the house, will you?

Looks like bloodstain.

Apparently, he made it to his car, then drove until he collapsed.

Chin, get over to... Chin, get over to King Street. Find out what happened to

the other businessmen.

Right.

Steve, Noah's home. Harry's family is probably at the parade.

Wait here a minute, Dan. I've got a hunch.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Hi, Bo.

State police.

Yes.

Have you been here all morning? Yes, I have.

We're investigating a shooting that apparently took place across the street.

Did you see anything?

No.

Did you hear anything? No, I didn't.

The shot was fired. You must have heard something.

I heard a noise. It sounded like the backfire of a truck.

At least that's what it sounded like to me.

I was dressing at the time.

Thank you.

Going to the parade? Yes.

I hear it's the best one yet.

So they say.

What kind of a truck was it?

It wasn't a truck.

An

innocent

man just died in the hospital.

I try to understand why people don't want to get involved, but we're talking

about a possible murder here.

We need your help.

All right. It was a black car.

I saw it. Oh.

Did you happen to notice the license plate number? No, I was too upset.

What kind of a car was it?

Oh, I think it was a Cadillac. It was a big car.

How many men were in it?

I don't know.

Any women?

I believe they were all men.

Okay. I'd like you to come downtown.

All right.

Thank you.

Steve, I checked with the parade committee.

The raid came off like clockwork. Good.

That's one of them.

He was the driver.

Taxi Joe Malua.

You know where to find him? I sure do.

Chin, get a warrant. Let's go.

See, look at this map. It's marked.

Yeah.

Someone laid out a route.

And all these markings are in the Waialae and Kaimuki District. That's

mostly residential.

It's where Harry Lewis lived.

That's right.

And that neighbor lady said the limo went west on Pahoa.

So assuming that this is the route after shooting Harry Lewis...

The killer or killers must have driven up here to Kului Ridge.

What's up there?

I don't know. Let's go and see.

Wait a minute.

That tower could be what we're looking for.

Yeah.

Central, this is McGarrett. We're at Kului Ridge.

We're about to check out the old tower up here. Request HBD back up

immediately.

Chin, you cover Dono from this little shack here.

Dono, you go down to the fence.

Work your way up. I'll go up over the top of this ridge here. We'll have a

pincer movement.

Be careful.

Freeze! Chin, take him.

It's okay, fellas. 5-0. Come on out.

What happened? They shot Harry Lewis and then they took us here.

They had their own people wearing our costumes.

What were you men supposed to do? To take over the Unified Bank.

On King Street?

Yeah. Dano, let's go.

McGarrett to Central. McGarrett to Central. Code red. Full mobilization

directed to Unified Bank on King Street.

Robbery in progress.

Repeat. Code red.

Not just a bank hike, but the biggest in Hawaii's history.

And right under our noses. We did everything possible, Steve.

Yeah? But not enough, which means we go into overtime until this thing is

wrapped up. Now, what have we got so far? Booked the guard from the tower.

He's got a long record here and on the mainland.

So far, he won't talk.

What else?

We got an APB out for Taxi Jo Malone.

Well, what about the bank robbers themselves?

Somebody must have seen something.

A lot of people, Steve.

But they all wear mustaches and whiskers. They all look alike.

And are we going to settle for that? Is that it?

What else?

We found a limousine abandoned near a parade assembly point.

Ownership? Rated from an agency.

In whose name?

You won't believe this.

Robert Wilcox.

Wilcox?

Robert Wilcox?

Robert Wilcox.

It seems to me that whoever planned this caper knew an awful lot about the

Wilcox raid.

Gentlemen, I want every book you can find on the subject, and I want them

now. We've got some homework to do.

Memo to 5-0 staff.

It's now shortly after 2 a.m.

I typed a report on what I've learned about the Wilcox raid.

You'll each find a copy of it on your desk in the morning.

Study it carefully. I'll want to discuss the contents with you.

There will be a staff meeting in my office at 9 a.m. Thank you. Good night.

Good morning, sir.

Well, have you all had a chance to go over the report?

Yeah.

Who's the mastermind, Dano?

Lambert. Got to be.

Chen? No question.

Duke? I agree, but how do we prove it?

How was Wilcox routed by the King's guards?

Direct frontal assault.

Yeah.

And that's the way we're going to prove it.

Ah, the slashing's getting old.

Tell Joe... Hello,

Steve.

I need your help.

Well, certainly. Anything I can do.

Nathaniel, why don't you take a break now?

Yeah.

You heard about the robbery?

Yes, it's a shocking, shocking thing.

Whoever pulled it off certainly took advantage of your thinking, your

planning.

How do you mean that, Steve?

Well, they have to know every detail.

Which businessmen were assigned to the bank.

When and where they would be picked up.

Even the costumes had to be duplicated exactly.

Yes, must have taken some kind of planning.

Yeah.

How many people had early access to your scenario while there was still time to

make plans?

Well, just the committee, as far as I know. I mean, there was a governor, you,

Edna Kalakaua, and my dear friend, Henry Kalani, and, of course, myself.

I suppose I'm a suspect, too. We all are, technically.

But... Arthur, I have another theory.

What's that?

The people you mentioned were entitled to access.

But isn't it possible, just possible, that someone else saw your manuscript

without your knowledge?

Someone who works here, for instance. An employee, a typist, or someone who runs

a duplicating machine.

Yes, it's possible, Steve, but I don't know.

Logical, isn't it?

Yes.

Someone here got a glimpse of your Wilcox raid scenario, and it gave him an

inspiration.

What an ingenious way to get robbers inside a bank, and all under the guise

of the reenactment of an historical event.

A lifetime of riches, but just a few minutes of risk.

I can see how that might appeal to someone of limited means, someone of

limited future, surrounded with all this art, these expensive treasures,

someone who appreciates them but could never

own them.

But the plan...

The plan was shot down before it got off the ground.

Because of an error.

An error on your part.

Mine?

A simple research mistake.

It seems that the Wilcox Raiders never got near the bank.

The coronation stand, yes.

The tax office, yes.

The Royal Hall of Records, yes.

But the bank, no.

Well, I tell you, Steve, I, uh... I could have sworn that I... I read that

somewhere, you know.

Professor Kalani picked up on the error, and that's why he put a question mark on

the scenario.

Then he made a call to someone here.

That's why I think he was killed.

I just can't believe that someone here would do such a thing.

Oh, I can, Arthur.

And if I were that man, I'd want that money in a safe place where I could

watch it.

most of the day if we find it we've got the murderer

could be any place here buried in that old war canoe

inside any of these idols even in that old throne

all units

stand by suspect leaving in haste with evidence all units stand by come in

please

Good work, gentlemen.

Okay, let's start with the names.

Thomas Horton.

Kimo Ayahana.

Maggie Burns.

Greg Phillips and Eddie Reball.

And Taxi Joe Malua.

I expect some consideration, Steve.

Consideration? Two innocent men dead, 12 others terrorized, assault on a police

officer with a deadly weapon, and millions of dollars stolen.

What more could you have done?

I have to admit, I almost made it.

Well, almost is a big word.

Book him down. I'll murder one.

Two counts.
