Original subtitles

Help me.

Help.

What were you doing so long with that cop?

Joey's no sweat.

He could have just blown the whole operation.

You find a way to keep him out of here.

Joey's been arrested.

I want Kalima in a cell. Then you go out and find some evidence that will put him

there.

Is there anything that you're holding back?

No.

Thank you.

I was looking for answers I wanted to

Help me.

Help.

Not too hard. Not too hard. Take it easy. Take it easy. Wait a minute.

Now watch it. He's hurt. He's hurt.

Get him around the bend.

Easy. Easy.

Breathing a lot of that lava dust. We gotta get him to clean air.

I'll check.

Hang on a minute.

We'll get you.

That damn

cop's up there again.

What are we gonna do?

What can we do?

Joey, do you know how many Hawaiians into country music?

Can I help it if change comes hard to our people? Our people?

Oh, play it again, will you?

Buy it, take it home if you want to play it again.

You know, you don't really appreciate this stuff, and that's because you don't

listen to it. Some of the lyrics are pure poetry.

Marco, have you ever really listened to Waylon Jennings or Willie Nelson?

Who?

Joey, I got a new sheet every week.

You're the only one to come to pick it up.

Marco, there's no accounting for taste. Look, do you want this thing? Yes, I

want it.

Oh, and give me this new Sinatra album, too. A Sinatra album? Yeah, it's a gift

from Mama Topo.

It's Kiyoki's sister, huh?

Yeah, I'm having dinner out there.

12.30.

You know, you could afford to dust off your counter, too.

I got into a hassle with the janitor service.

Yeah, what about?

Tried to pay my bill with Johnny Cash albums.

See ya. Bye, Joey.

Help me get him out.

Easy, easy.

He's not breathing right.

There was a lot of weight on him.

Otis, try to take a breath.

Broken ribs.

May have a punctured lung.

We better get him to the motel. Go get the car.

Hey, this is his beat.

He comes in all the time. Look, he thinks that hanging around the

neighborhood helps discourage crime.

Joey's no sweat.

No sweat?

He could have just blown the whole operation.

You find a way to keep him out of here.

How do I do that?

Find a way, now!

Ladies, today we are honored to continue this family orientation series.

with a few words from one of the most respected police officials in the

islands and the nation, Steve McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0. Steve?

Thank you, Captain. Good afternoon, ladies.

I was over in Hilo the other day, and I saw a sign in a restaurant window that

said, shoes are required to eat here.

And underneath someone had scribbled, socks can eat anywhere they like.

You can see how important words are to adequately express an idea.

Since words are not one of my strong points, I agreed to accept this

invitation today to speak to you because I honestly feel these indoctrination

periods for police wives are very important.

Your husband's second home should not be a mystery to you.

We think you should get to know your rival, your husband's job.

And believe me when I say we want you on our side because there is only one

higher authority than a policeman.

And we all know who that is, don't we?

You're right.

Policeman's wife.

Thank you for the record, Joey. Sometimes I think you really are my son.

I never had a mama like you. When that movie came out, From Here to Eternity, I

was so in love with Frankie, I saw that movie ten times.

Hey, Lewis, what would your papa have said if he'd known mama was in love with

a nightclub singer?

He would have said, if he can afford to feed her, he can have her.

Ah, come on, Mama, one dance.

You know you've always been my best girl. Best girl? Where's your wife?

Where's Lily? She shouldn't be here to dance with you. No, she's down at HPD

taking that orientation class they have for officers' wives. Don't you see? This

might be our last chance.

I'm not getting any younger, you know. Come on.

Hi, what can I do for you?

You own this house?

No, my mama does.

Search warrant. We have reasons to believe this house is being used for

gambling. Everybody, stay where you are.

I'm Officer Kalima. I know who you are.

Well, what's this all about?

We had a tip. Bookmaking.

Well, that has to be a mistake.

Who's gambling?

He was taking bets on the phone.

Here's the slips.

Uncle Kiyoki.

You're all under arrest.

Get a wagon.

Hey, what's the charge?

You'll find out down at the headquarters.

Kalima, what are you doing here anyway?

These are my friends, my family.

It's not going to be easy married to a police officer.

The responsibilities, pressures, and the dangers are unique to this job.

But you can make it a lot easier if you think of yourself as part of a team.

Police work is teamwork, not just on the street, but in the home, too.

Now, your contribution is just as important as your husband's.

If you can learn one thing from this talk, I hope it will be that you will

take care of each other.

That's the most important thing.

And now, ladies, I'd like to take up the discussion about a police officer's

vacation.

What is it?

You know what you said about how we take care of each other? Yes.

Joey's been arrested.

Arrested?

Who, what?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Hi, man. How are you? Joey.

You won't have to go through the booking at this time.

They want you to wait in that office.

Well, that must be some kind of a follow-up. Hey, man, I'm sorry.

They just told me to put you there.

It must be the bank.

Ready, Steve?

I don't know what to say.

If I'd known he was going to be there, I would have warned him.

But once I got to the house, there was nothing I could do.

Nothing you could do? He's a policeman like you.

He had no choice. He can't play favorite.

I know you two are friends.

Do you know how rotten I feel?

Not half as rotten as Joey.

Where is Officer Kalima, please?

He's being processed, sir. Where?

I couldn't say.

You mean you brought a prisoner through here and you don't worry it?

I didn't say that, sir.

Oh, I see.

Internal affair?

Where is he being held?

Room one.

Who's in charge?

Captain Friar.

You're the Friar.

I was at Mama's. There was a luau.

The place was full of people, like it always is.

I just got there. I didn't even know Kiyoki was in the house, much less back

in business.

Can you prove that?

Will I have to? You might have to.

Why, Steve? He didn't do anything.

You think it'll come to a review board?

Internal Affairs has already assigned Captain Fryer.

Over such a little thing?

Well, if it comes to that, I'm allowed to have a friend as an advocate.

Steve, will you represent me?

Garrett, aren't you a long way from the governor's office?

Let's cut the cracks, Friar. Why are you doing this? It's my job.

What's this to you, anyway?

Officer Kleeman has just asked me to represent him, and I intend to do just

that. Then you'll want to hang around to advise him while we take his statement.

Oh, no.

Not until you and I have a private discussion off the record.

Why not?

Would you excuse us?

Can't we

stop this before it goes too far?

Why? Because he's your friend?

Yes. Yes, he is a friend.

I've known him since he was a kid.

He had a great future as a welterweight boxer, but all he ever wanted to be was

a cop.

After he joined the force, he went to school at night and got his degree in

police science.

He's got a new wife.

They've built their entire life around his career with HPD. He is the finest

example of what a cop should be.

And why was he caught in a raid on a bookmaker?

Those people are closer to him than his real family.

They raised him.

They've known him since he was a child. They're Calabash.

He didn't know what was going on out there.

You believe that?

You bet I believe it.

Well, I can't.

If the cops don't obey the laws, why should anybody else?

I'll tell you something, McGarrett.

He could lose his badge over this.

Yeah? Not if I can help it, pal.

Why?

They're going to use your influence with the governor?

Oh, what a cheap shot.

You know better than that.

And you know better than to come in here and try to throw your weight around.

Don't push too hard.

You may find yourself going right down the tubes with your client.

I found a doctor who keeps his mouth shut. He's on his way.

Call him back.

It's too late.

He's dead?

What are you going to do?

First, we're going to take him out and dump him.

Then you're going to learn to dig.

What time did Joey get

here? A little before six. We only played one side of the record.

So he was here from no more than 30 minutes, and you were with him all the

time? I think so.

You think so?

Don't you know for sure?

Okay, I know for sure. I say whatever Joey says.

Mama, I know that you want to help. And I know that you'd lie for Joey.

But the only thing that's going to help is the truth.

I won't say anything to help them hurt Joey.

This is not a 5-0 case.

It's personal. It's something that I want to do for Joey. Don't you

understand that?

Okay, the place was full of people. We had a little owl.

Four or five family.

We all help each other out, you know.

Maybe he knew Kyoki was here.

But I know Joey wasn't involved.

Mama, as a police officer, if Joey knew that a crime was being committed and did

nothing about it, he'd be in serious trouble.

That's why I want to tell them Joey didn't know Kyoki was here. If he knew

he was here, he'd have to know what he was doing.

What do you mean?

Everybody knows what Kyoki does for a living. He's been doing it for 25 years.

It ain't as bad as it looks.

Oh, that's something.

But the dust is still too thick in there to work.

We need a bigger exhaust fan.

Somebody's gonna see it.

Not if we put it up on the roof.

And if anybody does see it, they'll think you bought a new air conditioner.

This is unofficial, Bernie. I'm just doing Steve a favor.

Why did we take the troll?

Exactly. The old man will be back on the street by now.

Braids like that discourage the small bookies from getting any bigger. I know

that, but why this particular bookie on this particular day?

Well, we had a tip from a small-time hustler named Teal Rodriguez.

My call must have done the job.

I was crying.

Fifty bucks is a lot for a phone call.

Teal, don't start again.

I don't think you guys should come up to the house.

We came to help, Joey.

Hey, Joey, you know, I don't know.

Yeah, I'm really sorry.

I didn't know you were going to be at the house.

And you know, I'm not crazy enough to take bets while there's a cop in the

house. You know what I mean? You warned me enough times.

Listen, Joey, I testify to anything you want.

Thank you, Uncle Kiyoki. I just don't think it'll do any good. Friar isn't

listening to anybody.

Joey, we'll get everybody in the family, friends from school, kids we worked

with. They'll all be character witnesses.

If they don't listen to Steve McGarrett, they're not gonna listen to a bunch of

outsiders. Oh, come on, Lily. Don't put them down. They're just trying to help.

Well, it's true, Joey. I mean, after all you've done to prove how much you want

to be part of HPD, the first time that there's a question, they call you a

liar. Well, don't worry. It's just a mistake.

Steve is gonna fix it up with Fryer.

I have faith in the department.

Then you're a fool.

Well, uh, I think we'd better get going, huh? Yeah. Yeah, I guess you're better.

Yeah. Okay.

Hey, Joey, really, anything we can do, huh?

Sure, look, we're family, right?

Hey, Joey, I... Doesn't matter, Uncle Kiyoki, this time.

But if I ever catch you taking bets again... Don't say it. I got the

message, okay, Joey?

Internal affairs, right?

Captain Fryer send you?

Look, Kalima, we're just doing our jobs.

Yeah.

Okay, let's try it.

The question is, who was Teo Rodriguez out to get when he called in?

Teo was a long record. All small stuff, but no apparent involvement with Kiyoki.

Maybe we should look beyond Kiyoki, then, huh?

If the bust wasn't meant for Kiyoki, it could be he was out to get Joey.

It's a possibility.

Every cop makes enemies.

There's gonna be a lot of names on that list.

Okay, Dano, then let's start with Rodriguez.

Since he was a snitch, bring him in.

Sure, tail comes around.

What do you want him for?

Just a few questions.

There's no beef.

What kind of questions?

What are you, his lawyer?

They're personal questions.

Hey, take it easy, okay?

When he comes in, tell him to call Steve McGarrett at 5-0. 5-0.

Okay, I'll tell him.

You heard?

Yeah. Why would McGarrett want to talk to me?

You could ask him.

Maybe I will.

But not just yet.

So you turned up a snitch.

Well, maybe somebody paid him to make the call.

Maybe. And that might mean there's more to this than a bookie ring.

I intend to find out.

Well, I'm not stopping you.

You will agree that it could lead to new evidence.

Not enough to lift Kalima's suspension.

Besides, I've got some new evidence of my own.

Even though he's under suspension, Kalima welcomed.

Kiyoki Topo into his home. Those will take him the next morning.

So Kiyoki and Lewis came to his house. You can't charge a man for that.

Besides, they're his Calabash family.

Well, he's not exactly throwing them off his property, is he?

When a member of the family is a known bookie, that is not the way a good cop

behaves.

Friar, you're a good cop, so I think you'll understand this.

Teo Rodriguez is the key. Now, I need time to bring him in.

Why can't you give me a postponement till I pick him up?

Okay.

All right, I'll agree to a postponement, but only until Saturday.

You're all hot, pal. You're just all hot.

Yeah. My friends call me Mr. Warms.

You know, McGarrett, I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for the kid.

I still think he's guilty as hell, but nobody's gonna say I didn't give him

every chance to prove himself innocent.

You mean he's guilty until proven innocent?

Come on, McGarrett.

Isn't that really the way it always is? Sure.

As I said, you're all hot.

By the time we're through, this basement will be full.

That'll be 518, Mrs. Baum.

Ray, come out here.

Enjoy your vacation here.

Aloha now.

What are you doing here?

I did you a favor.

50 bucks for a phone call.

Now, Fribo's after me.

That's a lot of heat.

Look, if you just take it easy, everything's gonna be okay, okay? Just

take it easy.

Why did you put the finger on Joey Colima?

I'd have never done it. He kept me out of the slammer a couple of times.

That was an accident.

I was after the old bookie, Kiyoki.

He sniffed me in a couple of bets.

Sure, sure.

What's going on around here, Marco?

What's all those bags down in the basement?

Come on, I'm not stupid.

What's in the bag? What bags?

You know, I haven't been down to that basement since I bought the place.

Yeah?

Then what's that noise I just heard down there?

Morning, Daniel.

Morning. You hear about Rodriguez?

Yeah.

We have a report from the carnival.

They're doing an autopsy now. Captain Fryer called. He's on his way over. Oh,

he did, huh?

Well, I expected that one.

Rodriguez had to have a lot of enemies.

Steve, what if I play the devil's advocate?

Sure, go ahead. If you have any ideas, let's hear it.

Suppose Joey killed Rodriguez.

You don't think a trained police officer with a spotless record is going to kill

somebody because he's charged in a gambling raid? No, I don't.

But there's always the possibility that someone like Fryer would think that Joey

was on the take from Kiyoki and Rodriguez found out about it. You know

Joey as well as I do. Sure, but does Fryer?

Oh, I see what you mean.

Did you pull the log on the arrest Joey has made?

Yeah. There are a couple of guys on the street who might want to get even, but

there doesn't seem to be any connection between Joey and Rodriguez.

Well... There must be a connection.

Somehow, someway, there's a connection.

There are just too many coincidences.

I want Chin and Duke to find out everything they can about Rodriguez.

And I want you to work with Joey. Retrace his moves for the past few

weeks. Right.

Don't mention anything about us being a possible suspect.

No.

What?

Well, that was fast.

You must have ESP.

No, just a good sense of smell.

And something around here stinks.

Why haven't you had Joey Kalima picked up?

I'll tell you why. First, because I don't think he had anything to do with

it. And secondly, I may need him to find out who did.

Well, you can't do that. He's on suspension.

Oh, then he'll be acting as a private citizen who wants to help his local

police department.

Do I have your permission for that, Captain?

Even you must see that Kalima could have killed Rodriguez to keep him from

testifying. Testifying to what?

Disorderly conduct?

No. Graft.

Kickbacks for openers. I want Kalima in a cell.

Then you go out and find some evidence that will put him there.

This is not one of your inquisitions, Friar.

This is a murder investigation conducted by the state of Hawaii, and I'm in

charge.

McGarrett, I've never liked you, but I've always respected you.

You do your job better than any man I've ever seen.

But this time, you're letting your personal feelings get in the way.

He's gonna take you down with him.

Boy, you try everything, don't you, Fry? Even buttering me up.

Now, the hearing is not until Saturday morning. I'm sorry, you'll have to

postpone your execution until then.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Sure, I tell you that cop, he busted him a couple of times.

The sheet doesn't say so.

I was here. I saw Kalima roust him.

Maybe he decided to give him a chance.

Or maybe it was all a scam because Teo was his snitch.

No way.

Cops don't kill their snitches.

There's a first time for everything.

Teo was one of Joey's characters.

I saw him pull Teo out a couple of situations when Teo got in way over his

head. Then there wasn't any beef between them.

Not that I could see anyhow.

I don't think Joey would really hurt anybody.

Why, he thought those characters like Teo were his family.

And what did you think about Joey?

They couldn't have wished for a better cop on this beat.

What have we got, Charlie?

Take a look.

Black specks?

Lava particles.

They were embedded in Rodriguez's scalp.

What does that mean?

Well, there's no lava like that around the hill where his body was found.

You're saying he was killed someplace else?

Probably. Can you pinpoint the area?

Not yet.

But take a look at this one, too.

Yeah, it looks the same to me.

It is the same.

Well, where is it from?

HPD found a body in a cane field past the old airport.

His chest was crushed.

We did a routine autopsy.

And his lungs were full of this lava dust.

Are you suggesting that there's a possible connection between the two

bodies? It's a thought.

There's something else, Steve.

The composition of the lava.

It's probably pohoihoi, which means it came from subsurface strata.

Subsurface? Uh-huh.

How do you know so much about this stuff, Johnny?

Because I'm smart.

Yeah, if women are so smart, why do they dance backwards?

I think we're there.

Let's find out.

Cement!

Right on the money!

We're running out of time, folks.

The hearing is tomorrow morning.

Now, there must be something. There must be something that we've overlooked.

I don't think so, Joey.

Is there anything that you're holding back?

No. I don't have any reason to do that.

You think he's lying, don't you?

I didn't say that, Lily.

But it's true, isn't it?

Tell me, what happened to that family that you talked about in that class?

I mean, when things really start to get tight, it still is every man for

himself. I mean, being a cop is no different from any other job except you

get killed doing it.

Lily, calm down.

Steve has to do this.

How could you defend him like that?

Lily, you're upset.

Don't you see if it was the other way around, Joey would have to ask me the

same questions?

I don't believe...

I don't believe, I don't believe either one of you. All right, then let me lay a

couple of facts on you folks.

Friar thinks that Joey killed Teo Rodriguez.

What? Friar thinks that Joey killed Teo Rodriguez.

Do you hear me?

Oh.

I guess I halfway expected it.

Friar's gonna get me, isn't he? Look, Joey.

You have got to account for your time, for your behavior, from the time of the

luau at Mama's house. And you both have got to stop this self-pitying nonsense.

If the review board goes against us, I'm going to have a hell of a time keeping

you out of jail.

Jail? Jail.

Oh, no.

Steve.

Steve. Listen, Joey didn't do anything wrong.

I mean, he's put so much work into it. We've made so many plans. He just

wouldn't risk losing all of that. Well, don't you think I know that? I'm not

giving up.

And neither are we.

Okay, okay.

Here it is, here it is.

I told you we could do it. And we got the whole weekend to clean it out.

Captain Fryer, will you read the charges against Officer Kalima?

Yes, sir.

Account one, frequently associated with Kiyoki Topo, a known bookmaker. This

association compromised your integrity as a police officer and brought

discredit to the department.

Count two, on the ninth of this month, you were present while Kiyoki Topo was

conducting said bookmaking and failed to take action in accordance with your

position as a police officer.

Count three, following your suspension, you were again seen in the company of

Kiyoki Topo and his associates.

Call your first witness.

We call Sergeant Bernard Wong, HPD Vice.

You don't even have any TV cameras in here.

I didn't expect anyone to get this far.

Mr. McGarrett?

Thank you.

Some of you might remember Joey Kalima as a pretty fair boxer.

He won the Golden Gloves in his class, went on to the Olympics in Canada, and

was Hawaii state champion for two years.

But today, right here, gentlemen, he's fighting for the highest stakes he's

ever fought for.

His job, his career, his future, but most of all, his honor.

Now, what does honor mean to a man of Joy's character, a man of Joy's

background, religion, education?

Everything. You cannot strip a man of his honor on a purely circumstantial

charge.

Now, I ask you, please, to consider this carefully.

Thank you.

I love him like a son.

He's an honest boy.

He didn't know Koki was there.

You think I'd be crazy enough to be taking bets with a cop in the house?

He came to see Mama and Louis.

He's always with Louis.

They're tight.

I consider him a close friend.

Hell, I consider him a brother.

He's the best partner I've ever had.

But not because he's tough.

He's got good common sense.

As I said earlier...

This is a question of guilt by association.

Even the learned prosecutor cannot accuse Officer Kalima of the actual

commission of a crime.

Now, I suspect the real issue here is one of justice.

Certainly there is the law, but above the law, there is justice.

And if a police officer cannot expect justice, then who else can?

Thank you.

The board has decided to recess to consider our findings.

We will reconvene Monday morning at 10 o'clock.

What do you think?

Close.

What do we do now?

Well, we can wait or we can go back to work.

What more can we do?

Find out what we missed.

All right, let's go through it again.

Mama's son Lewis called me at 10 that morning. He reminded me that it was her

birthday. Just a second.

You didn't know until 10 that morning you were going to Mama's place?

That's right.

Well, then whoever set you up had to be someone you talked to that very day.

Of course.

I had lunch, and then I just cruised around for a while.

Did you talk to anyone on the car radio drive? No. I just monitored the incoming

calls.

And this is where you came right after lunch? Yeah, I didn't make any other

stops. Joey, how'd it go this morning?

Well, they're deliberating.

Isn't that a good sign?

Unless they're trying to figure out where to build the gallows.

Oh, Marco, this is Steve McGarrett with 5-0.

You heard a lot about you, Mr. McGarrett.

You make the papers more than the governor.

Don't let him hear that.

Mr. McGarrett, if there's anything I can do, please let me know.

I mean, Joey's the best copyhead in this beat.

Thanks, man. I really appreciate that.

This guy never pays his janitor bills.

Hey, just the poor portagee.

Joey,

how'd Mama like the Sinatra out? She loved it.

Didn't Marco just ask you how Mama liked the Sinatra record?

Yeah.

Well, then Marco must have known that you were going to Mama's that day.

You're right.

Now I remember. I did tell him. I said I was going there for dinner. Did Marco

know Teo Rodriguez?

Sure, Teo got around.

Central, this is McGarrett. Patch me through the 50 office, please.

He had a record on the mail, Steve.

Petty larceny. But he's been clean since he's been back in Hawaii.

He doesn't read like a hardened professional.

Well, maybe he's been moonlighting, Dino.

We're going back and take a look.

You stop there a minute, Steve.

I never saw that before.

What do you mean, the exhaust fan? What about it?

What's a record store need an exhaust fan for?

Let's find out.

Look at this.

What is it?

Same stuff.

My guess is it's lava dust.

Wait a minute.

A John Doe turns up in a cane field with... lava dust in his

lungs.

Teo turns up with lava dust embedded in his scalp.

Yeah, and then it's down in the record store and now all over the roof.

What's it all mean, Steve?

It means that something is going on right here in this place.

Let's find out what it is.

Isn't there a bank on the next street over?

The First National Bank of Hawaii.

I got it.

I want a full tactical squad at Marco's record shop on Pahoa.

Immediately.

Code red.

Silent approach.

It's three o'clock and we're over halfway through.

This is going a lot faster than I expected.

Maybe we can catch an earlier flight.

Flashlight.

Hey, here's a heavy one.

Wow!

Look at this!

Is this the way you spend your weekends?

Cover him.

Hey, Mark.

Was it worth it?

Brian's gonna love this. Okay, move it.

These are the findings of this review board in the case of Officer Kalima.

We find that you were indeed present when the crime was being committed.

But there is much doubt that you had knowledge of that crime on this

occasion, although you knew it had occurred in the past.

But at the recommendation of Captain Fryer, and because of your performance

in past days,

the board feels that you have demonstrated such integrity and faith in

the department as to erase any doubts which might be caused by your

association with the Topo family.

Your record will be cleared.

You are hereby reinstated.

Oh, Charlie.

Congratulations, Joey. Thank you, Steve.

Congratulations.

See, he's not such a bad guy.

Don't ever let anyone hear you say that.

Cheer up, Friar. You'll get another chance. I'm not leaving town.

I look forward to it.

Welcome back, Officer Klima.

Thank you.
