You can be reborn right now.

You can have a new name, new life.

You are Willow. Who wanted to murder Braswell? I'm afraid the question is who

hates you enough to want to set your kid up.

Willow isn't leaving.

Step aside.

Sonny and me got business.

Thank you.

Looks like we just tricked this fine establishment into breaking the law.

Only when you're with me.

I can do anything when I'm with you.

I can't believe you happened to me.

You're the best thing that's ever come through my life.

You're

gonna

get us kicked out of here, yeah?

Leona. You can bring her over now.

Right.

Todd, a motel. An old friend of mine's in town.

I told him we'd stop by.

Couldn't he find a nicer place to stay?

Shh.

You sure he's here?

Just have a seat.

Four people in one room.

Hot time.

You feel like go join, huh?

Want to go down there too?

Kill my fun.

You must be Sunny Mandel.

Yes. Hello, Sunny Mandel.

This is Liana.

Oh, let's get rid of this.

I was never one of them weirdos that went in for Brunner.

Todd?

You haven't seen nothing yet.

Come on.

Maybe you better pick it up, sweet thing.

Pick it up!

That's right.

Now turn around.

Open that door.

Good. Now look inside.

How about that, huh?

Now, get out!

You got a moonlight boat ride coming up.

And we don't plan on coming back.

Whoa, doll.

Be careful.

Just about a minute.

What have you got? I've got to be in that courtroom at 12.50.

There was a fatal shooting in a motel.

HPD came up with a suspect.

Well, how does that concern us?

You know who Babe Mandel is?

Sure. He's one of the best cops in L.A. What about him?

It's not him.

The prints on murder weapon were those of Babe Mandel's 17-year-old daughter,

Sonny.

Wait a minute.

How can you trace the prints of a 17-year-old girl without a prior arrest?

He left her purse.

Paired the prints to the ones on her driver's license.

She left her purse at the murder scene? Boy, that's convenient.

I've got to go down. I want all the details as soon as I get back. Right.

I can't find her.

If she could have hit, she could be anywhere on this island.

Did you watch the news?

What? I told you to watch the news.

Well, I did.

The cops don't have her. Her old man just arrived.

Mandel is here?

What? Turn that thing off!

I could go back to the joint.

If they get to her before I do, she could send me back.

You're gonna find her.

Well, where would she be?

She's a kid.

She's scared out of her wits.

So, where would she hide?

Someplace where she'd blend in.

Lots of young faces, dark corners, music, dope,

action.

That's where she'd hide.

Hey, goretender, come here.

I've seen this chick around here.

My kid sister, she ran away.

I've seen her anywhere around here.

Hey, cop's up the way making his wake-up rounds.

He's really heavy into hassling people.

Better rise and shine.

Oh, thanks.

Hey, you want something to eat?

Yeah, well, I don't have any money.

So who does?

And they think the whole world is built on yesterday, with their Freud and their

Marx. His name's Osiris.

You are listening. Punishments for what they've done and their scars of

experience.

There's sins of the father.

There's a whole new life in tomorrow.

Life doesn't have to be made of days that are gone. It can be made of days to

come.

You see, process is what life is.

Continual rebirth.

Continually aligning yourself with the future.

With what you want to be, not with what you've been.

Rebirth.

With the past, there is only death.

You can be dying every moment.

Or you can be born every moment.

There are the dying, and there are the reborn.

The reborn have no past, no yesterdays.

Just a lifetime of tomorrows.

And whatever we want those tomorrows to be.

Do you want to ask him something?

He has good answers. Come.

I liked what you said.

But it couldn't be that way. Not for everybody.

Why not?

I'm Sonny Mandel.

You probably heard my name on the news.

You're someone who's been tossed about.

I can tell that from your eyes, not your name.

You've had to bend in the wind many times.

But you haven't broken, have you?

And you won't break, will you?

But... Yesterday is for throwing away.

You can be reborn right now.

You can tell you want to be.

You can have a new name, a new life.

Yes, you are Willow, starting right now.

Willow?

Welcome to tomorrow.

You're saying that it looks like a simple pickup then, eh?

Okay, good. Thank you.

Keep up the good work.

Braswell was a CPA on vacation here.

He was seen leaving a bar the night he was murdered with a girl with long, dark

hair. Sonny Mandel. Well, that's what the prints on the murder weapon suggest.

Judging from the time Braswell registered, it looks like he went

directly from the bar to the motel where he took a bullet.

There may be a lot more to it, Steve.

There's somebody outside I'd like you to meet.

Let's go.

Mr. and Mrs. Maiki, this is Steve McGarry.

Mr. Maiki came in because he doesn't believe everything he reads in the

newspapers. There are four people in that room that day.

Not two, you know.

These guys that write about this stuff, they don't know nothing.

What did you see?

I watched his motel room, you know, with binoculars.

I figure if I can see, I'm going to watch, huh?

And I see first a man and a woman go in a room. Then another man, and then

another woman.

This take about one hour, you know?

Four people in one room.

I thought there was going to be a swap meet, you know?

What did they look like?

I couldn't see their faces, you know? The angle was bad.

But I had good view of the room until somebody pulled the shade.

Did you see them leave?

Yeah, I see first the woman, she's running out, wiki-wiki, you know. And

then the man, and then the woman.

But funny thing, I never see that other man come out.

You sure it was the same room where the murder took place?

You betcha.

Same day?

You betcha.

Mr. Maiki, the shot was muffled by a pillow, but did you hear any sound at

all that could have been a gunshot?

No. What about the cars people came or left in?

I couldn't see the cars.

But you're sure two of the people were men and two were women?

I sure.

If you couldn't see them, how could you be sure?

I know the difference between a man and a Vahini.

I watch that motel room day and night.

You know, this is like one hobby for me.

It's a great hobby.

Mr. Mikey, Mr. Mikey, thank you very much. You may have been a great help to

us. If we have any more questions, we'll call you.

See, honey, you're always complaining.

But you see, these cops, they thank me for what I do.

Makes all kinds, isn't it? Sure does.

Peno, tell Che Fung to get his fine-tooth comb out.

Two more sets of identifiable prints from that room could mean a whole new

ballgame. Right.

Got any more or is that it? Yeah, there's one behind the door.

Capitalist!

That's Mariah, Rainbow, and Phoenix.

They're off to make our living.

They sell things?

Every day, out on Diamond Head Road.

It's Rhyme and Cassiopeia.

How long have they been here?

They're here today.

This is Aquarius.

Hello.

And Cloud, you know.

The names are so

pretty. That's because he named us all.

And Karma.

He only names those he's sure will stay.

The others you see around come and go.

Because they can't decide between yesterday and tomorrow.

What's your name?

I'm Willow.

And I'd like to stay.

Yeah, Donna.

HPD couldn't find any prints on the knob of the main door.

There were plenty of latent prints all over the place.

But none on the main door itself.

None at all? No.

Like it was wiped clean.

What I can't figure out is if Sonny was trying to get rid of her prints, why

didn't she bother with the obvious places?

Yeah, and why did she leave the gun and her purse?

So if what that peeping Tom told us is true, we've got four people in that

motel room.

Now, could it be that someone wanted to murder Braswell and needed a patsy to

take the rap?

Or, or...

Was it that someone wanted to frame the girl and needed a victim?

Hey, McGarrett.

Come on in. Come on in.

Five years.

Five damn years.

Too long, babe.

Too long.

Hey, how about a belt?

Never use it, you know that.

You know, you still look like a guy who gets about 45 minutes of sleep a night.

Yeah?

And you still resemble the classic Lombroso criminal type.

Good to see you, babe.

What do you got for me?

How's Sonny?

Nothing. Not yet.

I didn't get you.

Suspect at west side of house.

You sure you got everything covered?

Yeah, everything.

Babe, I want you to stay on the sidelines. Is that understood?

It's your rock. It's your show.

Just make sure that you find him.

Why did Sonny leave home?

Some guy.

She met some guy. I thought she was in love.

17 years old. Can you imagine?

What was the guy's name?

He never brought them home. No, I didn't approve.

And then one day, she was gone.

Wasn't she happy at home?

Nobody's happy at home.

Not my home.

Marianne. That's my wife.

See her here?

No, she wouldn't come.

Couldn't.

Her husband's been a cop for 25 years. I guess they don't come out like much

else.

But what does my being a lousy father got to do with what happened in that

motel room?

Did your kid have any enemies?

What the hell kind of a question is that? No.

But you do.

Of course I do.

Got more two-bit punks and white-dollar hoods dreaming about laying me out than

there are people on this island.

There's a possibility that there were other people in that motel room with

Sonny.

That she was framed for the murder of Clifford Braswell.

My daughter was set up?

Could be.

Who?

Who wanted to murder Braswell?

I'm afraid the question is who hates you enough to want to set your kid up.

They go through my daughter to get back to me.

Somebody sets her up, gets his jollies out of knowing all the grief I'll take,

and they kill me.

Well, yeah, it could work.

There is something you can do, babe.

A little late for that, isn't it?

If it was a frame.

If somebody hated you so much that he resorted to that.

There is something you can do to help us pin him down.

Maybe there is.

Listen, uh, could you rent me a desk, a telephone, maybe three lines to the west

coast? Just for starts.

You got it.

We'll even pay the phone bill.

Good to see you.

It's good seeing you, Gary.

Got something blue. Maybe he'd like it for our blue dining.

Hey, lady!

Heads up!

Phoenix!

Come on through. We'll call the police. We'll get an ambulance.

No, that's okay.

But sure, it's no problem.

No, let's get her home. But you can't move her. Look at that gash. She needs a

doctor. No, no doctors.

Why don't we call the police? Those kids ought to be punished.

No, that's okay, man.

No, it's not okay.

Phoenix.

I named you Phoenix for a reason.

You know how to rise.

How to come up from the blackness and go on.

Start over.

You'll rise again this time.

That's the van.

Understand, there's a problem here.

Some kind of assault on Diamond Head Road.

There are no problems in this house.

Didn't she get hit in the head with a beer bottle?

Doesn't matter.

This is now, not 30 minutes ago.

She's here, and she's smiling.

You don't want to make a complaint?

And you don't need an ambulance?

I never said it was gonna be a piece of cake.

Yes, I want the names of all the guys who were arrested or paroled within the

last year.

What am I doing, speaking English or what?

You're damn right you call me back. Yeah, in about one minute.

Steve. Yeah. I just got the word from the HPD that a girl answering Sonny

Mandel's description was seen by a cop at some kind of hippie joint in Manoa.

Is that him?

You and Shin better check it out just in case. I'll get you wine. Keep me posted.

Right. Malia, get me John Manicote.

How's it going, babe?

Oh, you tell me.

Good afternoon. 41 names and counting.

We may have a line on your kid.

One moment, please.

Mr. McGarrett, I have John Manicote on line two.

John, I'll need a warrant.

Well, so far it's been described as a hippie joint in Manoa.

I'll get you an exact... The address and the description of the house.

Dan Williams will pick it up in about ten minutes.

Yeah, thank you.

Ken, you and Rowan check the outside.

Chuck.

Williams 50, looking for a Sarah Mandel.

We've got a warrant to search this house.

Sure.

No electricity.

Cheaper that way.

There are no drugs here.

We're not looking for drugs.

We're looking for a 17-year-old girl named Sarah Mandel.

She's a suspect in a murder.

If you're hiding her here, you could all be subject to criminal charges.

There's no one here by that name.

Check upstairs.

Could be under the house.

Nope. Looks like it hasn't been open for years.

I don't know. I could have sworn she was here.

Well, she doesn't seem to be here now.

Let's go.

and being born again.

They're gone, Willow.

They're all gone.

Today's weather report for the greater Honolulu area.

Page three.

Leave that on. That may be a special bulletin.

Sonny Mandel, South by Police, is suspect.

Five-0 reported as making progress.

Girls' whereabouts still unknown.

Circumstances surrounding motel murder being given a second look.

Liana, come on.

Where are you going?

I'm going down to the pool.

Oh, no, you're not.

We got a teeny-bopper to find before she opens her not-so-teeny mouth.

You find her.

I'm sick of this.

For two months, I turned you over to that little jerk, and even with her

gone, you're still ignoring me.

I'm tired of it. Well, then you better rest up, seeing what you did to that

poor man in a motel room.

That was part of your plan. But you pulled the trigger, remember?

Where I go, you go.

You're in this thing right up to your gold-filled earrings.

You're not weeping, are you, Willow?

Thinking.

Can you say what you're thinking?

Mostly about how much I want to stay.

I can't forget how I got here.

That's past.

Drop it behind you. Start again.

I got a father who's a cop.

Had a boyfriend who framed me for murder.

That picture's probably up in the post office by now.

There's too much to leave behind.

I can't be reborn like the others here.

Something can be true for some people, but not for others.

It can be.

Sorry. I have trouble believing.

It's not a matter of believing.

It's a matter of accepting.

I've accepted things before that I shouldn't have.

I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

That's not what I want.

What you want is a father.

And a father doesn't put his arms around little girls that way.

They don't put their arms around them at all.

You see, how can I leave behind what's happened inside?

Bartender? Bartender, have you seen her?

Not her, but I've seen her picture.

What did you ask him before?

Yeah, a couple of nights ago.

It wasn't me.

I said it wasn't me.

But there's another cop then.

It's not possible.

Whatever you mean.

But somebody was flashing.

Are you sure it was her?

I'm sure.

Think of the past as secure.

It's an anchor.

Good or bad.

Sunken water that is clear or muddy.

Now, some of you think it's all you've got.

And it is.

Until you turn around and face the future.

Now, you don't walk backwards.

Why should you live backwards?

Today isn't just the beginning of the rest of your life.

Now it is. Hey.

This guy I'm meeting down at the beach has got some incredible cocaine.

I mean...

What do you say we, uh... Uh, no, thanks.

Listen, this stuff is really smooth.

I mean, it'll melt you all the way down to your toes.

Look, I'm not interested.

Listen,

you ever been swimming when you're stoned?

I mean, really, really loaded, so the water just kind of rushes up on your

body like needles?

You know where that's at?

Come on, why don't we, you know... Come on, you're gonna thank me. No!

Listen, you...

It suddenly appears that we're not the only ones looking for Sonny Mandel. And

Duke? The owner of a discotheque in Waikiki says somebody besides us has

been by, showing a picture of her and asking questions.

Could be the guy who framed her.

Are we assuming that the guy who framed her is the guy she left L.A. with?

Has to be.

Getting Sonny in the motel room at just the right time took a lot of planning.

And that tells us something.

He must be fairly young to have attracted Sonny in the first place.

Is Mandel taking that into consideration with his list?

He sure is. He figures he's young, too. He's going over his arrest records for

the past five years.

You know, something tells me the list he comes up with is going to be long enough

to wallpaper a room with. Knowing Mandel's reputation, I'd say three

rooms. We can guess all we want, gentlemen.

But let's not forget one thing.

The person or persons who had Clifford Braswell killed did it in cold blood, as

if he were a minor detail.

Now, whether Babe Mendel was after this person before or not, one thing is

certain. I want him now.

Hey, man, you hang around here a lot?

Yeah, this is supposed to be where it's happening.

This is the biggie.

Wanky P.

You, uh, seen this chick around here?

It's my kid sister.

She ran away.

Yeah.

Yeah, I've seen her.

Where?

Where was she?

You got a, uh, finer sphere or something for her?

Yeah, maybe I have.

You know, I don't know where you're coming from, man, but that's not your

kid sister.

Yeah?

Well, maybe she's not the one you saw, either.

Yeah, that's her.

That's her.

She looks different now, though. Her hair's long and she's wearing some kind

of a white cheek. She looks like a ghost.

Where was she?

Where's the finder's fee?

I'll give you 20 bucks.

I was thinking about $50.

No personal checks.

Where was she?

She was hanging right down the beach.

A bunch of religious freaks called Reborn or something like that.

She dressed like she was part of the group, too.

But they're from right around here. Everybody knows where they are.

Just ask anybody where they live.

The reborn.

Yeah, that's it.

Hey, you and the kid's sister really made my night.

64 names.

Murderers, burglars, pushers, rapists.

All the people who hate my guts because I made them pay the dues.

You know anyone else who come up with a list of enemies that long?

Yeah.

Me.

I take it you're going after the ones underlined first, huh? Oh, yeah, the

cream of the crop.

The guys that made the most noise on the way to the joint.

I got my sergeants working on those.

And what about these over here? They're whereabouts being traced to.

I got five off-duty detectives working on that around the clock.

You know, McGarrett, did it ever occur to you that this guy we're looking for

may never bust it at all?

I mean, all this may just add up to zip.

You know, people say I don't have any friends.

Where else can you get dog-tired men to work late, get up in the morning, do

your legwork for you?

No,

I got friends back there.

I got real good friends back there.

Sure.

One hour.

Exactly one hour.

Meet back here.

You remember what we gotta find out?

Yeah, where a bunch of freaks called the Reborn lived.

You think I can trust you to go off by yourself and still come back here? Of

course.

You better come back, sweet thing.

Don't threaten me.

I may get sick and tired, but I don't scare.

So don't threaten me. There's no need.

Babe, what about this Robertson?

Seven years for murder, one paroled four months ago, whereabouts unknown.

No, he shouldn't even be on the list.

I just remember what he looked like. He's got a face that'd make a freight

train take a dirt road.

That's not exactly my daughter's type.

How about Alvin Garner?

Shane, he's only about this height. Tried to bite me on the leg when I

busted him.

Sanders. Gordon Sanders.

Two years, grand theft auto.

Another one here, Alvin.

Todd Daniels, four years in a narcotic charge.

Sanders, he's back in a slammer.

Oh, Daniels, oh, boy, there's a smart one.

He's very big with the ladies. Sweet talks them into popping pills and

shooting junk.

First thing you know, they're doing anything for him just to take care of

the habit.

I mean, everything from turning tricks to peddling.

Last time I heard about him, he was living with some woman. Only this one

was a straight.

Hey.

what you just said.

What?

Whoever pulled this off had a female accomplice, right?

That's right.

The victim, what's his name?

Braswell. Braswell was seen in a bar with a woman. Now, she could

easily have lured him there.

In fact, she probably killed him.

Who would make a more dedicated partner than a lover like Daniels?

hell kept you? Come on. You didn't find out anything?

Come on, we'll look further up the beach.

They live in a rented house up in Manoa. They have a painted van parked in front

most of the time. You can't miss it.

I'll drop you at the apartment. Let's go.

First, we hit the Salvation Army. The macho look doesn't quite cut it with the

grass and hill generation.

You'd stand out like a Christmas tree.

You know, I think I'll keep you.

Hey, Steve.

It just came through.

Daniels is living with some woman in Bakersfield by the name of Leanna Myers.

Only thing is, she subleased her apartment about three weeks ago and left

town. Uh-huh.

I suppose it would be too much to hope that she left a forwarding address.

Well, I'm waiting on a phone call, but I got a feeling she's going to show up

right here in Hawaii.

Steve, just came in over the telecom here. It's our Michael Daniels. Looks

like he could turn the head of a 17-year-old.

Yeah.

Babe.

Yeah. Yeah, that's it.

Okay, Daniel.

Make sure HPD gets copies. Tell them we're about a phone call away from an

APB. Right.

Babe.

Anything about Daniel's arrest that would make him come after you this hard?

No, he was the same as anyone else. He broke the law, I did my job, and he

blamed me for his problem.

That's it?

Yeah.

Well, he had his...

His brother, his younger brother was in the house when we made the bust.

Kid ran, one of my men thought he had a gun, shot, killed him.

I see.

Was, uh, was your man prosecuted?

Hell no.

He was a damn good detective. I wasn't gonna stand around watching him get

canned. I supported him all the way.

He shouldn't have had his brother in the house with two keys of heroin. That was

stupid. I had to blame someone.

But guess who got elected?

The big daddy cop.

Me.

Who is responsible for what we do then?

You're telling people to abdicate responsibility for their actions.

I'm telling people not to be tied to the past.

I think of responsibility in terms of the future, not the past.

You can't have one without the other.

Life without the past is freedom.

Freedom without the past is utter chaos.

We must think about that.

As the Lord said.

Pager's got a forwarding address for Liana Myers.

Guess what, Steve?

She's been living in Honolulu for the last two weeks.

Good. Good, then.

Pick her up. I'll get you a warrant.

Malia, get me John Manico, please.

You didn't think I'd find you here, did you?

Well, I did.

And now we're going to leave. Oh, no.

We're going to start right where we left off. No, please.

I won't tell anybody.

Police, open up.

Danny, that's her.

Hold it.

Williams, 5-0. We're looking for Todd Daniels.

Why do you want him?

Suspicion of murder.

We want you, too.

You're under arrest for the murder of Clifford Braswell.

I just want to stay here.

You finally found your type of family, didn't you?

Where Daddy talks about peace and love instead of how many heads he's busted.

You're just as stupid as you ever were.

Willow isn't leaving.

Step aside.

Sonny and me got business.

Look. I don't know what it is you're into, but whatever it is, I'm sure you'd

much rather do it alive.

So move.

Come on, you bunch of weirdos.

Move!

Come here, Will.

See?

You see, I told you.

Stay back.

My back.

I'm hurt.

Ambulance.

Call an ambulance.

No. No ambulance.

Not for someone at the House of the Reborn.

We heal ourselves.

Get them back.

Babe, you stay here. Yeah, my daughter's in there. You heard me. Stay here.

Dano, call an ambulance.

Okay, babe, you can go in.

Don't touch him.

Take it easy.

Easy.

She needs a father now, not a cop.

No. No, you never did that before.

I know that.

Don't you think I know that?

You're just doing it now because you're supposed to!

You're always doing things just because you're supposed to.

When somebody breaks the rules.

And you're going to have to give it.

I'm going to take her downtown for a statement.

For God's sake, McGarrett! You always have to act like a cop!

Coming from you, babe, that's pretty funny.

Thank you.
