Original subtitles

Two of your most trusted lieutenants were shot and killed this morning,

gangland style.

Tragic losses deeply sadden me.

Oh, I don't buy that.

Not for a minute.

What do you want, Mr. Varner?

Half.

Two million dollars?

Garrett, I want every member of the Wo Ching gang picked up and brought in for

questioning. Maybe we can get one of them to crack.

Thank you.

Welcome home, Mr. Vincent. How was the trip?

Very successful, Luke.

Three weeks on a freighter is not a very pleasant experience.

We better get going. He's waiting.

Hey, let's take a look inside. No way. We're playing this one straight. That

way we get to keep the money.

Oh, who's gonna know?

I will.

Now, you all know what to do. Now, get moving.

Something bugging you?

No.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Thank you.

My mistake was not supervising this operation myself.

All precautions were taken.

Well, obviously not all.

Look, you're being challenged. There's no doubt about that.

But you can rest assured I'll find out who was behind it. Tell me, how am I

going to rest assured when $4 million of my money has vanished into thin air?

Father. Nimai, how many times must I tell you about knocking?

I'm sorry, Father.

But we did have a date to go shopping.

I will have to cancel it. Something has come up which requires my personal

attention.

But you promised, and what could we... Li Mai!

I know.

Li Mai!

When it comes to matches pertaining to business, your questions will not be

entertained.

Am I that bad, daughter?

Almost.

Tomorrow, perhaps?

We shall see. Now run along, dear. Okay.

The ID's been confirmed? Yeah.

Ray Vincent.

Ray Vincent?

Hold it.

Looks like Chang Liu's going to have to find another financial whiz kid.

No, he won't be hurting for candidates. Working for Chang Liu carries a lot of

prestige. Yeah.

What about the other two?

Lou Benson, that's his car over there. He must have been here waiting for the

chopper.

Lou Benson, strictly muscle.

Also part of Chang Liu's rank and file.

The other one's the pilot.

Runs a chopper rental service. His name is C.J. Williams.

I'll write him through the computer.

There's not a sheet on him.

Poor guy.

He might have just taken the wrong charter.

Danny?

This is the young man who discovered the bodies, Bobby Kalani.

Hi, Bobby.

Hi. He didn't see what happened, but he did see a car pull out just before he

discovered the bodies.

Did you see the license number?

No, I didn't.

But I did get a look at the driver.

There was a bunch of guys with him, but I wouldn't know how many.

What kind of car was it?

66, 67, white Ford sedan, kind of beat up. There's probably 1,000 cars in the

island matching that description.

Yeah, it's going to make it rough.

Duke, take Bobby over to HPD. See if he can identify the driver of the car from

the mug books.

Right.

This was found in Vincent's pocket.

Last entry stamped Netherlands. That was almost four weeks ago.

It appears Vincent took the long way home.

Meaning he was trying to avoid customs.

Yeah, and if so, he must have been carrying something very important.

Something three men paid for with their lives.

Dano, contact Interpol. See if they can help us nail down Vincent's movements

while he was abroad.

Then check with your street contacts.

See if anyone's trying to put the squeeze on Mr. Chen. Right.

You, uh, figuring to do a little squeezing yourself?

Hmm. Just enough to see how much the Honorable Chang Liu is feeling the heat

down. Okay, that does it. Any questions?

Hey, wait a minute.

We can't see or talk to each other for two weeks. I want to know why.

Yeah, what kind of deal is that?

Because that was the deal.

Now, if we want the rest of our money, we got to play along.

Look, I never let you down before, did I?

I'll see you in two weeks.

Okay.

Hey, Tony.

How long you think you're gonna keep conning?

As long as I have to.

At least you could've told me where you stashed the money.

That way, if something happens to you... You keep the other guys in line, I'll

take care of the rest, okay?

Okay.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Tell him to wait.

McGarrett.

Is there something else you failed to anticipate?

I give you 24 hours to find the money, and I will not tolerate any further

incompetence.

I don't like waiting rooms.

I have a busy schedule, Chang.

Now, would you like to talk here or downtown?

Please sit down, Mr. McGarrett. Mr. Varner was just leaving.

Now, what can I do for you?

Two of your most trusted lieutenants were shot and killed this morning,

gangland style.

Why?

I cannot answer that.

I can only say that the tragic loss has deeply saddened me.

Oh, I don't buy that.

Not for a minute.

I, too, am a busy man.

Would you get to the point?

What was Vincent doing in Europe?

Taking a much-needed vacation.

Then why was he flown back into Hawaii by helicopter?

Was it because he was bringing something into the islands that you didn't want

customs to see?

That is a mystery, isn't it?

Perhaps I should keep it at tabs on my employees.

No one operates independently in your organization, Chang.

That's why I know you know exactly what Vincent was bringing in illegally.

If you're truly interested in bringing to justice whoever killed my associates,

I suggest your time would be better spent elsewhere.

Oh, I'm interested.

Truly interested.

My problem is finding out who was responsible before you do.

And if I offer you no competition in your search?

Well, the way I see it, you have no choice.

Because if I find Vincent's killers first, you won't be able to recover

whatever it was that was stolen from you.

And I have the happy feeling that that just might spell instant disaster for

you.

Excuse me.

Would you like some tea before I go out, Father?

What's wrong?

Leave me alone now, please.

If you don't feel well, I don't have to go out. I can stay here with you.

Run along, Limai, please.

Yes, Father.

Keys to four million dollars You

should

have seen a look on their faces boy were they surprised just like you said and

the money hidden where nobody's gonna find it except you And me.

Here. You keep this. That way, if something happens to me... I wouldn't

have given anything to see the look on my father's face.

The exact moment he found out.

Anything.

You sure he doesn't suspect?

No way.

He's so wrapped up in his own self-importance, he'll never suspect

that a street gang ripped him off.

If he only knew.

If he only knew!

Yeah, that would be great.

I wonder what my head would look like not attached to my body.

Oh, Jerry, come on. I told you, nobody's going to get hurt unless one of your...

Unless one of my gang blows it, right?

Well, they are the most vulnerable.

There's something you better not forget, baby.

They made it happen.

You never have understood.

The Wo Chings won't even walk down the street unless I tell them to.

I know, Jerry.

It's just that, well, look, we've come so far.

I should have told them.

They would have kept quiet about the money. They took the oath. The famous

oath of the Wo Chings.

Tell me, what value would your precious oath have if my father finds out?

That's all you care about, isn't it?

Your father.

Not me, not the money.

It's how many points you can score against your old man.

Don't you ever say that to me.

Jerry!

Jerry!

Jerry!

Oh, Jerry.

Jerry.

I'm sorry.

I know it seems like... I'm hard on your friends sometimes, but... Honey, I don't

mean it. Really, I don't.

Yeah, but Chin and Duke are still out beating the bushes.

What about the driver?

They've come up dry so far.

Our witness Bobby Kalani was at HPD until midnight going through the mug

books. Finally sent him home for a breather.

This just came in from Interpol. It seems that Vincent moved around quite a

lot when he was in Europe.

He spent two days each in Basel, Hamburg, Rome, London and Zurich.

Last reported in Amsterdam.

All European financial centers.

Anything on what he was doing over there?

Interpol kept an eye on him. He tried very hard to make it look like he was

vacationing, but all of his social contacts were with officials of Anacott

International.

Anacott.

Rumored to be the front for Chang Lu's European money laundering operation.

Yeah.

My guess was that Vincent was there to pick up Chang's laundry.

Chang Lu would never send his top financial aide abroad unless there was a

lot of money involved.

Exactly.

And as of now, we don't have a single lead that might suggest who killed those

men and got the money.

Yes, Malia.

All right, put him on. What do you got, Chin?

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yes, Chin.

Cardano's on his way.

Right.

That poor kid, Bobby Kalani, he's in Honolulu Channel. He's been badly

beaten.

Looks like Chang Liu is making his move. Get over to the hospital, Danu.

I was just going inside my house, and there were these two guys waiting for me

inside. What did they look like?

Local, big, real big.

I remember one guy had a scar on the left side of his face, but that's about

all I can remember.

How do they know where to find you?

I guess it's kind of dumb, but I spoke to some reporters about finding those

bodies and seeing the car drive away.

My name and address was in the paper.

So they came to your house wanting to know about the car and the driver. Yeah,

I had to tell them what he looked like. If I hadn't said anything, they'd still

be working me over.

Don't worry about it, Bobby.

It's just a good thing you had that bone to throw to them.

How is everything going, Chang?

How are you feeling, Chang?

Next thing they'll want is an hourly reading of my blood pressure.

You know, don't you, Mr. Varner, that having that money stolen from us will

show weakness in our organization?

We have allowed ourselves to appear vulnerable.

And if we don't recover that money and punish those responsible, one of our

competitors is going to pounce.

Perhaps all of them together.

I still say there had to be a leak internally.

Then you are accusing one of our own people?

Only six people knew when and where that money was coming in.

Two of them are dead.

Mr. Varner, I suggest that you're looking for someone to throw to the

wolves to cover up your own stupid... and incompetence.

I want to know exactly what you are doing to recover the money.

We are concentrating all our resources on tracking down the driver of that car.

It won't be long, I assure you.

Central, this is Williams.

Patch me through to McGarrett.

Steve, we found a car matching Bobby Kalani's description.

It's out in a vacant lot near Koala Basin. Huh.

Anything on it?

It's on HPD's hot sheet. Stolen two days ago.

Well, that's to be expected, Dono. Get a lab team down there. I want it gone over

from hood to hubcaps.

Stavarta, what is it?

I want to talk to you, Limai.

What about?

I'm getting ready to change.

About your boyfriend, Jerry Kwan.

So, now my father have you spying on me.

Your father had nothing whatsoever to do with my being.

Oh?

Does that mean you have a personal interest in my love affairs?

I don't care about your love affairs.

I am somewhat interested in the four million dollars, however.

I haven't the vaguest notion of what you're talking about.

Allow me to clarify.

I've been watching you, Lima.

You've been very clever.

Very clever indeed.

Business meetings accidentally interrupted, phone conversations

overheard, late-night visits to your father's office under the guise of

straightening up.

And all done with that sweet innocence he so demands of you.

Exactly what are you accusing me of, Mr. Varner?

My father will hear of this, I assure you. Oh, yes, he will.

And when he does, he'll be furious.

But I work for him. He knows me. He'll listen to me.

When I tell him about the phone calls I've overheard, at first the messages

were innocent enough.

But when that gang stole the money, I realized that you'd been feeding your

boyfriend the exact information he needed to set it up.

What do you want, Mr. Varner?

Half.

Two million dollars?

And if I refuse, you go straight to my father, correct?

Mm-hmm.

It appears I have no choice.

Good. Well, that's settled, then.

Oh, uh, where's the money?

That will be my secret, Mr. Varner.

Until I'm sure you can be trusted.

Fair enough.

Anyone else know where it is?

Just Jerry Kwan, but he'll be no problem.

What do you mean?

Because in my mind, he's already dead.

Isn't he in yours?

Hello? Jerry, hi.

Hi, what's up?

I want to talk to you as soon as possible.

If something's the matter, you sound funny.

No, everything's fine.

There's just a few things I want to go over with you.

Okay, meet you at the beach house, eh?

Let's make it the warehouse.

I'll be there in an hour.

The warehouse? Why?

Oh, Jerry, please.

I've got to go.

Love you.

Me too.

Bye. Bye.

He'll be there.

You're shocked, aren't you?

Don't be.

I'm Chan Liu's daughter, remember?

That's the guy.

He's the one that was driving the car.

The clinic gave me the positive ID, Steve.

Jerry Kwan, leader of the war chings.

one of the most powerful street gangs in Honolulu.

It just doesn't figure.

The Wochings are tough, but they wouldn't tangle with Chang Liu.

He's way out of their league.

But what if they were recruited, possibly by someone with the kind of

inside information that would make the risk worthwhile?

But if the information was that good, why bother with the Wochings?

Using those kids from the street has got them by more trouble than they're worth.

That would depend.

How desperate you are.

OK, Chin.

Pick him up. Maybe he can fill in a few blanks for us.

What's going on?

You're good at putting things together.

You know, Jerry, I had really grown rather fond of you.

Until Mr. Varner came along, I didn't know exactly what I was going to do.

What's he got to do with it?

He's helping me protect our investment.

I'm sorry, Jerry.

I really am.

Take the back.

You OK?

I think so.

What happened?

I fell over the car that almost departed me with it.

See the driver?

No.

Too busy trying to get out of the way.

What about Quan? You see him?

He's dead.

Come on.

McGarrett.

Yeah, Daddo.

So we're back to square one, huh?

OK. Get yourself some warrants.

I want every member of the Wo Ching gang picked up and brought in for

questioning. Maybe we can get one of them to crack.

Call it, Tony!

Meet him with Rice and take him in.

Ever see this?

No.

That's funny, because it was found in your van.

What is this? A setup?

Somebody could have planted that there.

Maybe you, Fuzz.

Tony, let's talk about Thursday afternoon.

You and your buddies picked up on a set of wheels that belonged to somebody

else. You're crazy.

Wrong.

HPD has your prints on file.

They were all over that car.

Yours and the rest of the Wu Ching's.

Where'd you and your pals go in the car, Tony?

Driving. We went out driving.

Where? Out near the old Kapunapu Mill Road?

Kapunapu? What's that?

A bird call?

Say that again.

I kind of like that song.

That was funny.

After yesterday, I wouldn't think you'd want to hear that sound again.

Or maybe you don't care that your leader, Jerry Kwan, was knocked off.

I care.

You do, huh?

Then why don't you start cooperating?

Tell us who set it up.

Where'd you hide the money?

Did you bury it someplace?

Whatever action you guys are talking about, I sure wish I had some of it.

Ballistic report.

It's wiser, Tony.

You've got a ballistics match.

The .38 found in your van is the same gun that killed Ray Vincent.

Now I remember.

I found that gun at the bottom of a trash can down at the beach.

No fooling.

Cross my heart, officer.

Okay. If you decide you want to talk to us, we'll be around.

Don't wait.

No sweat, brothers.

Okay,

okay. Knock it off.

Knock it off.

All right, now come on. Which one of you is Kiyoki?

Come on.

Which one?

Hey, you.

Are you doing? I'd just like to let you know how much I appreciate your leaving

me behind back there.

You always did have a knack for survival.

You'd like to see me get caught, wouldn't you?

That way you'd get to keep the money all for yourself.

Well, it's not going to happen.

Am I interrupting something?

No, Father.

Uh, no, sir, sister. Slight misunderstanding, that's all.

I see.

I would like to see you in my office.

Then why have you forced them to talk? They must know where the money is.

They can't do anything. McGarrett got to them first.

McGarrett? What of the money?

McGarrett have that, too?

I don't think so.

I can't be certain.

I suggest you find out.

Because if we don't recover the money, I may be finished in these islands.

Well, Mr. McGarrett, you are most certainly to be congratulated.

For a man who must be the laughing stock of the underworld, you're taking things

very well, Jane.

Could it be because you, uh... feel that the race is not yet over?

You have a strange way of responding to a compliment.

I believe that compliments are sometimes designed to throw the pursuer off the

trail. Off what trail?

The one leading to the millions of laundered dollars that Ray Vincent was

bringing back from Europe for you?

Oh, we know all about the money, Chang, but like you, we don't know what

happened to it yet.

Now, the gang might be able to help us, but we would prefer to deal directly

with the person who set up the job in the first place.

If you are implying that someone in my organization would betray me, You are

quite mistaken.

Now, if you don't mind, I have heard enough.

Be patient.

I'm almost through.

Now, I don't know for sure who was responsible for killing those three men

and for the robbery, but I do know one thing.

You won't rest until you find your money, and I won't rest until I have you

and the murderers behind bars.

Bet on it.

Mr. McGarrett? Yes?

I'm Lee Mai, Chan's daughter.

Can we take a little drive?

I want to talk to you. About what?

My father.

All right, Miss Liu.

Lee Mai.

I think I should warn you that anything you tell me may be held against you.

So I've been left to understand.

Have you found my father's money yet?

No.

No, not yet, but I will.

Perhaps not, Mr. McGarrett.

Well, that statement will require some explanation.

Have you considered the possibility that my father may be putting on an act for

you?

Why would he put on an act for me?

Ask yourself his objective in bringing the money into Hawaii the way he did.

To avoid customs and IRS, I would assume.

Precisely. But if he already had recovered the money, he wouldn't want

you to know about it, would he?

You're suggesting that he'd continue to play the part of the outraged man who's

lost a fortune.

There, you see?

There's one thing I don't see.

Why are you telling me all this?

Why do you think?

Well, the most obvious reason is that you don't like your father too much.

You know we were taught from childhood to love and honor our parents, Mr.

McGarrett.

Strange way to love and honor.

Or perhaps you weren't a very good student.

On the contrary.

I've always been very quick to learn.

You can drop me off on the next corner.

How's this?

Fine.

Thank you.

I'd sure like to take another crack at the Wu Qing's.

I don't think we'd do any good. The Wu Qing's taking over. They won't talk.

They also know that talking won't buy them enough to make it worthwhile.

You know, we've been taking the wrong approach with those guys.

I know a way to shake them up. Come on.

Big and bad and twice as sad.

Must be desperation time, huh?

Maybe for you, not for us.

Care to translate that, Curly?

He's trying to tell you that you're a free man.

Huh? That's right, Tony.

No strings attached.

We're giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe you really did find that gun in the trash can.

And if you did, I'm just using the taxpayer's money to protect you, and I

really can't justify that.

Protect me from what?

You know who.

Chang Liu.

That's right, Tony.

He knows you were in on the rip-off.

Maybe he'll have better luck getting a confession out of you.

I'm not going no place.

Yeah, you are, Tony. You're going back to the streets.

And if you're lucky, you'll find a hole and crawl into it.

But when you come out, Chang's men will be waiting.

Hey, man, I know my rights. You take him to processing. I want the prisoner

released immediately.

Okay, okay, I'll tell you what you want.

Planning on leaving?

Let me go of me! I'll let you go as soon as you tell me where the money is.

I'll take it in the morning. You take me there now.

Look, we can't make it by dark.

He's hidden.

I've arranged to stay with a friend.

Someone we can trust.

We can both stay there together tonight.

And leave in the morning.

Now, uh, let go of me, please.

Okay, let's get out of here.

Take it back.

Nothing. Father could have beat us here.

Look at this.

Part of a map.

Better alert Che right away.

Got it, Steve.

Looks like the area around the old Kapunapur mill. Here.

Yeah, this X must mark the location where the money is hidden.

Appears to be some kind of cylindrical structure.

Sure does.

Okay, gentlemen, I'm betting that the $4 million is right here, but to make our

case, we've still got to nail Chang or his people with possession.

Nice piece of work, Che. Get some rest.

Give me the watch commander at HPD right away, please. Top priority.

Well, Mr. McGarrett, Mr. McGarrett.

McGarrett, go ahead, Donald.

Suspect's car just passed our checkpoint.

Very well.

Maintain an interval.

Don't move until I give the word.

10-4.

Let's go.

Let's nail him.

You know, Mr. Varner, my one regret is that my father would go down to his

grave without ever knowing what happened to his precious money.

What a pity.

No, only my no.

The pity is I do know.

You betrayed me.

Mm-hmm.

Yes, daughter.

And so doing, Mr. Varner reaffirmed his loyalty to me.

But the money!

He wanted the money!

That was a ruse, my daughter.

Mr. Varner knew you would never reveal the hiding place voluntarily, so he

waited, incurring my wrath.

But knowing full well he'd be amply rewarded later saddens me deeply.

But you know what I must do.

You won't understand this, Father.

But more than anything, I wanted to show you what I could do.

What I could be.

Without you hovering over me and pulling all the strings.

I've treated you fairly, my love.

Oh, yes.

But everything was always by your rules.

I got sick of playing your little games.

Sick of being treated like some sort of ornament.

I will allow you to live.

First, you must beg my forgiveness.

Never, Father.

Do you hear me?

Never.

You wouldn't shoot.

Four people are dead because of you.

Try me.

He's at three o'clock, kid.

100 yards.

That's it for them. Hold it.

Let's go.

so so
