Why would they kill my parents?

In the past year, four yachts have been hijacked for use in smuggling Asian

heroin into the islands.

Not once has a witness been left behind alive.

Where did you leave her exactly?

Checking the e-slips at Kaimana Marina.

If they figure they're being followed, wouldn't they get out of the regular

shipping lanes?

I think we should extend our search pattern 200 miles on each side of the

regular shipping lanes.

This is where all you fine people get off.

Off? They didn't expect us to take you all the way to Hong Kong, did you?

Thank you.

Oh, Mr. Thompson.

I just figured out our ETA. We should be arriving in Honolulu in about 1,300

hours. Well, then Jim will only be here soon by a few hours.

I would say no more than that. We've been keeping up pretty well. I told you

we should have entered this race. Since we had a four-day head start, I'm afraid

the race committee would consider that cheating.

Bama.

Do you think we should radio Jim?

He should be nearing the finish line. I don't think we should give him a call

just now. I think you're right.

You two got no respect?

You don't believe in saluting your new skipper?

And according to our reporter at Transpac, there are still 17 yachts yet

to complete the race.

The excitement generated by this race is no more evident anywhere than among the

faces of the spectators gathered here at Diamond Head to watch the finish.

With most of the yachts being at sea just under 12 days, one can well imagine

the fatigue the crew must feel.

And now approaching the Diamond Head buoy, which marks the finish line, is a

boat considered by most experts to be the most outstanding of her class,

Tempest.

The Tempest has just crossed the finish line, and we're going to check now for

her official time.

The marina is overflowing with people who have come to offer the sailors their

good wishes.

Many of the boats already anchored, old friends are reunited.

Parties are taking place in celebration of a race well sailed.

Jim. Hey, Jim. Yeah?

If Ariba doesn't get in by 1 o'clock, we got second in our class. All right. All

right.

Hey, I almost forgot.

Got a radio call from your dad.

Oh, yeah? When's he due in? He's not.

He left a message for you. He said to tell you he and your mom were going to

split and hit the other islands.

take a couple of weeks vacation you're sure that's what he said got it straight

from the old captain hook himself hey rosemary let me have that babe

lady

fame

this is starfire two whiskey yankee november five six five one calling lady

fame come in please

This is Starfire 2, Whiskey Yankee, November 565, one hour.

Gee, thanks, Mr. Thompson.

Now, you two just sit down and make yourselves comfortable, okay?

Hey, Eldon.

Me and Bama are gonna go into town and get some supplies.

Listen, I want you to get a blanket or a tarp or something and cover up that name

on the stern, all right? In case anybody comes snooping around.

Yeah, sure. All right. Bama? Hey, Charlie.

What are we gonna do about them when we take off to Hong Kong?

We'll take them along for a little ways.

Then we'll cancel their tickets.

Okay.

Let's put a outboard on this dinghy. Come on.

Liam's calling McGarrett.

Yes, Stano.

Steve, a Coast Guard just called.

They said you have to be notified immediately if they got any more reports

about missing yachts. Those were my instructions.

Call Commander Brennan. Tell him I'm on my way.

My parents sailed over in their own boat to watch the race, Mr. McGarrett, just

like they do every race year.

They left Long Beach a few days before I did.

Have you heard from them since then?

Oh, yeah. I spoke with them at least once a day on the radio all the way

over. As a matter of fact, I talked to my dad just this morning.

We were only a few hours out, and he was laying, oh, 30 or so miles off my stern.

I'm not sure I understand your concern.

Well, after we tied up, I was given a radio message from my dad saying that he

and my mom were going to cruise around the other islands and spend a couple of

weeks.

For the past six months, my parents and I have been planning to sail to Tahiti.

We were only going to lay over here until after the awards dinner Tuesday.

Are you certain whoever took that message spoke directly to your father?

He was positive.

Who was it?

His name is Richie, Richie Edwards.

He's a member of my crew.

And where can we reach him?

At the Illiki.

Now, have you tried to contact your parents since you got that message?

Several times.

There was no answer, and that's what really worries me.

I've got a search underway, Steve, but so far we've come up empty.

There aren't many places on this island that you can hide a boat that size.

He's gonna be swarming all over us. That bus already met us. He's gonna spoil

everything.

This is Whiskey Zebra calls. 9-2-9-9.

Did you sustain any damage?

No, I don't think so.

Uh, Roger, what's your present position?

Not sure. About two miles south of Koala Bay.

Uh, Roger, were you able to identify the boat that fired on you?

Yeah.

The Lady Faye. There are three guys on deck.

Uh, Roger, Whiskey Zebra Golf 9-2-9-9. Maintain radio contact. Out.

This is hot, Chief. Better get this COD on a double.

Come on, please.

Frank?

Uh, Steve, we just got a line on that missing yacht, the Lady Fame.

Has she turned up?

No, not exactly, but we know where she is.

A cove up near Koala Bay on the North Shore.

Some nut on board with a rifle opened up on a powerboat passing by.

With a rifle?

Any explanation?

None. I've got a chopper on surveillance, and I've got a boat

standing by if you'd like to run up there with me.

On my way, Frank. Thank you.

Let's see what this is Yeah

Careful

Coast Guard Honolulu, Coast Guard Honolulu, this is McGarrett. Come in,

please. This is Coast Guard Honolulu, Mr. McGarrett. Go ahead.

I'm aboard the yacht, Lady Fame, anchored somewhere near Koala Bay on the

north shore of Oahu.

Please notify HPD that we found two bodies aboard.

We've tentatively identified them as Celeste and Lyle Thompson.

Do not release the names until we've notified next of kin.

Roger. We'll take care of it. This is Coast Guard Honolulu out.

What do you think, Steve?

Robbery?

Well, they probably took everything that wasn't nailed down. The chronometer, the

sextant, the console, the watches and rings. But right now, I'm more

interested in finding out what happened to those three crewmen who fired on

those kids.

Let's go.

There's also the captain, Van Cleef.

What happened to him?

According to the son, he's Skipper for the family for the past 20 years.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Frank.

This might explain what happened to the captain, huh?

I guess that means there's nobody left alive who can tell it's anything.

Nobody except the killers.

The dinghy's not here.

They must have gone ashore on that.

I'd like to try to find that dinghy, Frank. If they beached it, at least give

us a starting point.

Right.

I'll leave a couple of hands on board here for security. They can keep an eye

on things until the police arrive.

But tell them not to touch anything until our lab boys get here. I'll see to

it.

you two stay on board here leave everything just as it is yes sir

Oh, wait a minute.

There it is. There it is, Frank, over that little cove. See it? Yes, I see it.

With the head start they have, they'll be long gone, but at least we've

pinpointed where they've come ashore.

I'd like to have that rubber dinghy picked up, Frank.

May I use your radio?

Right.

Coast Guard, Honolulu. Coast Guard, Honolulu. This is McGarrett, 5-0. Come

in, please.

This is Coast Guard, Honolulu. Mr. McGarrett, go ahead.

I'd like a patch to Officer Dan Williams at the 5-0 headquarters.

Williams.

Madam? Yes, Steve.

We found out where the killers put ashore on a mile south of Covella Bay.

It's just a short hike to the camp highway.

Right away, Steve.

I don't know, Jim.

What happened to your parents, though, fits a pattern.

In the past year, four offshore yachts have been hijacked for use in smuggling

Asian heroin into the islands.

Not once has a witness been left behind alive.

Yeah, but my father called over the radio. He was OK then.

He was probably forced to make that call.

What do you know about the three men your parents signed on to crew for them?

Uh, very little.

I never met them.

My parents told me they were young, just

out of the merchant marine, and they seemed to be very good sailors.

What are you doing about finding them?

We have an all-points bulletin out on them.

All highways leading from the North Shore are blocked.

Nobody can get through.

We'll let you know as soon as anything develops.

All right.

Thank you. Thanks for coming in, Jim.

Please get him, Mr. McGarrett.

Yeah.

I'm not looking for vengeance. I just don't want to see anyone else hurt.

We'll get them.

It's really nice to work with you again, Officer Williams.

I guess we're going to be a team for a while. Why don't we just make it Sandy

and Dan?

Okay, Dan.

Um, did Mr. McGarrett request me for this assignment?

You mean personally?

Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry, Sandy. I'm afraid you were just part of a package deal.

Oh, well.

I guess I'm just suffering through some kind of identity crisis.

He wanted to sit in your chair.

Oh, good, good. Let him.

We may have something, Steve.

The old man picked up three hitchhikers on the North Shore yesterday afternoon

and dropped them off at Kabuli Road near the university turnoff.

What brought him to us?

Says his son heard about the high trackers in the news. Is he able to give

you descriptions?

Yeah. The one had a beard.

Otherwise, all Caucasian look alike to him.

Has HPD been notified?

Yeah. They dropped a net over the whole area. So far, they've drawn a blank.

Which means we still have all zeros on our scoreboard.

Chen, take him to your office. Any scrap of information you can come up with

would be helpful.

All right.

Thank you. Thank you.

Kapurina Road, University Cut-Off.

Not much of a pattern.

There are four marinas within a few miles of where they were dropped off.

That's a lot of boats to choose from, Steve.

That's if they chose a boat.

Looks like we've got us a boat.

Look at it, Charlie.

When are we going to do it?

We want to wait till they finish loading up the supplies for us, don't we?

Right.

Come on, let's take a walk.

I want two-man teams assigned to every marina. If the hijackers surface and try

to sign on any boat leaving the islands, I want to be the first one to know about

it. We can... McGarrett. Long distance call, Mr. McGarrett, from Chief

Inspector Quincy in Hong Kong. Oh, good, good. Put him on, please.

Yes, sir.

Philip, how are you?

Steve, I may have something of interest for you.

Good. Go ahead.

The context of the conversation was that all systems are still go.

Do you know his contact here who made the call?

I had the call traced and came up with a local number for you.

555-8986.

555-8986.

Thank you, Philip. This might be the break we're waiting for.

Aloha.

Dano, check the address that goes with this phone number and arrange for HPD

backup.

We're going to hit them.

Let's go.

Negara to all units. Negara to all units. Take your position. We're going

in.

Sandy?

Hi.

I'll take the west end.

You take the east.

Uh, try not to act too salty in your outfit, Officer Williams.

All units from dispatch, three men answering the description of the 241

suspects reported seen at Okalani Marina.

All units in vicinity respond.

Code 3.

Williams, 50, proceeding.

Come on inside, or I'll blow your face off.

Come on.

Come on.

My, my, will you look what we have here.

Hey, man, where'd she come from? She was sneaking around the topside. Check her

ID.

And then you have an old identification card.

Sandy Wells, 137 Kapalowa Street, Honolulu, Hawaii.

Now, I want to know what you're doing here.

I was just looking for some friends. I was invited to a cocktail party. Is this

the Vista Princess?

Get off them! What boat this is?

Well, anyone can make a mistake.

If you'll just take your hand off my throat, I'll be on my way.

With the others?

Sorry, Officer Williams.

False alarm.

What happened? Three juiced-up local boys tried to play mutiny and a bounty

with one of the boats.

Say, I hear you got yourself a new partner.

What'd you do with her?

Steve, Sandy Wells didn't show up at the briefing this morning.

When did you see her last? Yesterday, about an hour before I split to respond

to that false alarm.

Where did you leave her exactly?

Checking the east slips at Kaimana Marina.

Have you tried calling her home? Yeah, she didn't show up all night.

Nobody's seen her.

Malia? Yes, sir? Get me Commander Brennan to the Coast Guard, please.

Right away.

We checked, Steve. The only offshore yacht to pull out of Kaimana Marina

yesterday was the Sea Sage.

Any idea what time she pulled out? We don't know that.

We just don't have the facilities or the personnel to keep an eye on every boat

that's running around these islands.

Well, this would be her great circle route to Hong Kong.

But, Steve, if they figure they're being followed, wouldn't they get out of the

regular shipping lanes?

Yeah, probably.

Drop down to the south, pick up the trade.

I think we should extend our search pattern 200 miles on each side of the

regular shipping lanes.

Good idea.

I've got the Cape Corwin standing by. I'm just waiting for word from you.

Let's go.

You know, Missy...

Still thinking about helper coming. There won't be any.

We're miles away from where anybody be looking.

I was thinking about how hot it is slaving over this stove for you guys.

Oh, maybe in a while Charlie may let you go swimming.

Hey.

Say he's an airline stewardess.

Supposing I don't buy that?

I suppose I'm not selling it. It happens to be the truth.

Missy, missy.

Don't you play Charlie over there, no never mind.

It's the product of a broken home. Right.

Hell, I was the one that broke it.

You never mind about that.

Just fix the child, would you?

If you ask for Spanish omelets, they take a little longer.

Come on.

Missy, did you forget to put a little dash of this hot sauce on mine?

When you ordered me to fix breakfast, you forgot to ask if I could cook. Looks

fine to me.

You better eat your eggs while they're still hot.

No, you do a number like that, for me, you better learn to dance with it. You

eat it.

I don't like omelets.

You're

just

starting, lady.

You're just starting.

Come on!

This is Coast Guard 1350.

Calling Coast Guard Gutter Cape Foreman.

McGarrett, yeah, go ahead, Dono. We're holding the search pattern, Steve.

So far, a big fat zero.

Stay with it, Dono. She's out there somewhere.

You didn't expect us to take you all the way to Hong Kong, did you?

We wouldn't last 30 minutes in these waters without a life raft. Oh, yeah?

Try it!

Hey, hey, hey, Charlie. I got an idea.

Yeah? What's with it?

Tell us you get the life raft.

Yeah, just say it.

All right.

That sounds fair enough to me.

But as I always said, first things first.

And now the first thing I want you all to do is get up.

Come on. All right. You're first. You're first.

Get up there. Get up there.

Get up there!

They're turning around!

What do you figure they're up to?

Come on, Gunny.

Thank you.

Thank you. Oh, I should have known. I should have known. What?

They come back like that. They punch the hole in it.

Oh. No, they punch too.

They've got to be sick.

Hey, maybe we can patch it up with some of this stuff.

It won't last very long once the sun and the seawater get to it.

Oh,

thank you.

It's starting to leak pretty bad up here. How much of that tape do we got

left?

That's it, Skipper.

Too good right now, Miss Wells.

But if you stop to think about it... It gets worse.

I sure hope he hasn't seen that movie.

Still there.

Yesterday morning I got up, showered, didn't have any orange juice.

But that was cool.

You guys know that commercial on television about the fruit punch where

the big guy punches out the little guy?

So I thought I would make myself some. So I got a bunch of fresh fruit and I

put it in a blender.

But I must have put it in a papaya or something.

Really tasted weird.

And then I got dressed and went down to the station, and Sergeant Matsu said,

it's going to be another routine day.

Routine day.

Here I am, 24 hours later, floating around in the middle of the Pacific

Ocean in a leaky life raft, surrounded by a bunch of sharks who look like they

haven't eaten in weeks.

So thirsty I cannot stand it.

And all I can think of is, why?

sure. Sometimes the sun hitting the water just right makes it clear like

that.

What's your position?

What grid are you in?

I got a cutoff, Dano. Can you come in, please? Repeat, what is your position?

What grid are you in?

They put you over the side. I'd say a little over four hours.

Well, they can't have gone too far.

Steve, I'll have the plane keep on searching this general course.

Good.

Are you all right? Yes.

Yeah. I guess I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar.

What happened?

Well, I was down at the marina, and I spotted a man who looked like he fit the

description of the hijackers. So I followed him to his boat.

And he was.

What about weapons? How are they armed?

The one man, Charlie, had an automatic rifle.

The other two had handguns.

Would you like something warm to drink?

Oh, would I?

Good. Come on. Okay.

Charlie, she ain't just buzzing around our heads for nothing.

Been calling us for two hours now. She can't stay up there forever.

Soon as she runs out of gas, we'll change course.

220 southwest.

Sneak stage.

This is McGarrett.

Stand by the border.

Heave to.

Come about.

This is the final warning.

Heave to.

Throw down your weapon. We are sending a boarding party.

Get him under cover.

Open fire.

If you fellas are going to be around for supper, I'll be happy to cook it for

you.

Take them below and lock them up.

Mr. McGarrett.

I'm really embarrassed.

About what?

Well, as you know, it's a cardinal sin for a police officer to lose his badge.

His badge?

Mine.

But it was intentional.

I didn't want them to know I was a police officer.

I see.

Well, under the circumstance, I'm sure we can arrange to get you a number.

What's your number?
