What this Victor Fong apparently has in mind is to put together a Chinese

organization not unlike the Cosa Nostra. What I'm here to do is to bring the

Kowloons together on this island.

To organize the chapter.

And you're gonna have power!

You want to get it on? Then make your move.

Because in a few days you're not gonna have a move to make.

My friend here tells me that the Toilies are planning to eliminate the new man in

town. Where and when?

Outside the Imperial Guards.

Thank you.

Made it. Come on, let's go.

This is beautiful, man.

McGarry, I got exquisite taste.

Sit down.

He don't like me.

Should he?

No problem, Steve?

No. No problem so far. Work dinner.

All right, Joey, pay attention.

Sure. Anything you say.

Sit up.

Now, we got you out of prison to do a job. If you do that job, I'll do

everything I can to get you a break. You understand that?

Yeah, sure.

But it ain't just that.

I got my own reason.

Yeah, I know you have. Just so long as we understand each other.

Now, since we talked, I've gotten some additional information from San

Francisco.

The man we're after is a Kowloon named Victor Fong. Do you know him?

Know him?

Why, he's the big daddy of the Kowloons, the top dragon of the entire

organization.

Fong's coming to town. This place is gonna jump.

Yeah, well, that's what we don't want to happen.

We hear talk of a Chinese mafia, of a gang warfare with the Toilees, of moving

from petty crimes into heavier stuff.

Been a Kowloon for how long, Joey?

All my life.

Okay. Now, what we need from you is everything you can find out about Victor

Fung and what he's got in mind. If possible, we're gonna stop him here. And

we can't have Chinatown exploding in Honolulu or anywhere else.

That's it?

That's it for now.

Join your gang and you keep in touch with us.

Here you go.

You, uh, cross us, Joey. You'll be up for a lot more than car stealing next

time. Yeah?

For what? Hating and abetting a cop?

See ya.

Yeah, who's there? It's Joey.

Well, come on, man, let me in.

I don't believe it.

Joey! Yeah, well, let's not announce my presence to the world, you know?

Dave! Julie! Tripper! Come here!

Joey!

Hey, Dave. How you doing? Joey, how are you?

Hey.

Joey! Hey, Julie, what's happening?

Are you okay?

You're not hurt or anything?

No, I'm fine.

Just fine.

Hey, uh, I got some booze in the other room. Let's celebrate.

Yeah, let's celebrate.

I just don't believe it. Who else knew about it?

Warden, the key guards.

The point is that it worked, Governor.

Great. It worked.

The head of Five-0 helps a felon escape from prison and then tells me it worked.

Why didn't you tell me before?

You were campaigning on Maui, sir.

I was speaking on Maui.

All right.

Tell me about it.

Well, Joey Lee is a Kowloon.

They're the most powerful gang in Chinatown. He went to prison six months

ago. He was in a medium security detention when he got word that his

younger brother had been killed in a street gang fight.

Apparently, they were very close to each other.

About the same time, we heard from San Francisco police that a character named

Victor Fong was coming here to organize the Kowloons.

Isn't that an HPD problem?

Well, not quite, sir.

What this Victor Fong apparently has in mind is to put together a Chinese

organization not unlike the Cosa Nostra and other major American cities.

I see.

He's already begun in San Francisco and L.A.

Chinatowns all over the country are ripe for it.

There's an emerging sense of ethnic pride among the young Chinese.

And with new attitudes.

New dangers.

Yes, sir, exactly.

But with Joey supplying us with information... We hope to curtail our

problems here, nail Victor Fong, and stop him from spreading this

organization on a national level.

What makes you think Pal Joey isn't going to be part of the problem?

Perhaps grief over his brother's death?

A genuine desire to stop gang warfare in Chinatown?

And, of course, there's always a possibility of a pardon.

You promised him that. No, sir, I promised him nothing.

I told him that you would consider it if he helped us wipe out these street gangs

and if he helped us nail Victor Fong.

But, Steve, mark me.

If it goes sour, Five-0 is going to have one awfully big black eye.

I know.

But to nail Victor Fong, I think it's worth the risk, sir.

He comes in on the 22nd, and then we boogie.

I mean, things ain't gonna be the same again, Joey.

The Kowloons are gonna walk tall again.

We are gonna be on top. Man, we're gonna be number one. Number one?

Okay, now, let's stay cool, all right?

The fog comes, we muscle the lees, turn the place upside down, and fly to the

moon. All right, Joey.

All right, but first off, Joey here's got a little problem.

You need something? Just name it.

I need some clothes, a place to crash, some shades.

In other words, I need a disguise.

You crash here, man. It's set. We get some bread. You got the clothes.

What else?

Nada, as we say in Chinese.

Hey, let's get some night air. Maybe go someplace while Joey here rests.

All right.

Hey, Joey.

See you later, man. See you later.

It's good to see you again, Joey.

Yeah, good to see you too.

I'm sorry about what happened to your kid brother.

Hey, it wasn't my fault, you know that.

Yeah, well, you were there when it happened.

Hey, what could I do? Dave was running the gang. Yeah, well, look, I'm not

blaming anybody, all right?

I don't feel like talking right now.

Hey, there's some sleep.

Whatever you say.

Hey, it's Seth.

He'll be here Friday.

Hey, that's the day after tomorrow. Bar out.

Okay, okay. Stay cool.

Did you get him a room?

The best.

Did you get the word around to everybody?

It's already all over the streets, man.

Nobody's talking about anything else.

All you hear is, bong is coming.

And the Kowloons are walking tall.

Old man.

What's this?

I said, what's this?

The cheque for your food.

Funny. Very funny.

A real scream, old man. You hear me?

Come here.

Well, you heard the man.

Yeah,

well, we've got better things to do. Let's

get out of here. Yeah, that's right.

This is Kowloon territory.

Split. We hear talk about a big man coming to town. A number one Kowloon

dragon. You hear right, little man.

Oh, yeah?

Well, then let me tell you this, Cooley, and I speak for all the Toileys.

What? All eight?

You know, we've been getting along up to now.

You do your thing, we do ours. But now you're bringing in trouble.

And I'm here to tell you, punk.

We got enough thunder to poke holes in all of you.

Dig? Yeah, well, uh, your jazzing at the mouth doesn't mean a thing.

You want to get it on, then make your move.

Because in a few days, you're not going to have a move to make.

All right, what's going on here?

Huh?

You! Come here.

Come here!

Were those toy leaves?

Toy what?

Toy what? What are you, a wise guy or something? Don't give me a... You need

any help, Sarge?

No, it's okay.

It's a piece of cake.

What were the toy leaves doing in Kowloon territory?

Visiting, man. Now, don't jive me.

You... Don't I know you?

No, I just came over from L.A.

You did, huh?

Yeah. Well, you better stay out of trouble or you'll be going back to L.A.

You understand that?

Yeah, sure.

Now, the rest of you, the next time you start something like this, I'm gonna

break some heads.

Now, get out of here, all of you.

Joey Lee!

Come back here!

Joey Lee!

Man, don't do that.

Call. Every three days.

Remember, Joey?

Yeah, sure.

But I mean getting back with the guys, you know what I mean?

What's going on?

Well, in the first place, I got a tiger on my tail.

Tiger? What do you mean, tiger?

Yeah, well, his name's Riley. He's been a Chinatown cop since I was a kid.

He recognized me today.

I swear this guy's not gonna give up until he's nailed me.

Okay, I'll get into that.

Now, what about Victor Fung?

All right, he's coming in on Friday.

We're putting him up at the Ilekai.

Oh, at the Ilikay. Well, aren't we grand.

Where do the Kowloons get that kind of money?

The merchants.

They will, you know, donate.

Oh, they donate, do they?

Yeah. I see.

Okay, go on.

Well, that's it.

He comes in Friday and we start getting things together.

You know, what's funny is everybody's been getting high about this thing.

I mean, guys who haven't been with us for three or four years are suddenly

Kowloons again.

I mean, they expect this cat, Fong, to raise the flag to lead us off to war or

something like that.

Then you've got your work cut out for you, haven't you, Joey?

I want it all.

All of it. And remember, call every three days.

Got it?

Got it.

You sure Tripper knows where to bring them? Yeah, I told him three times.

Okay, now remember, when you meet him, hold it down. He wants to keep a low

profile. Yeah, well, uh, you sure you know what the dude looks like?

Yeah, I'm sure.

And from now on, he ain't no dude, you understand?

Fine, fine.

Things are gonna be different.

And while he's here, you're gonna be Fong's lady.

It's Joey's idea.

Okay.

But I didn't bargain for this.

Hey, there he is.

How are you?

Howard Lum.

This is Julie.

How are you?

They've got no choice.

They've got the numbers.

And with Fong in town, well, it ain't gonna be too long before this is a

Kowloon in town.

Ain't no way we can let that happen.

Maybe a warrant? No, no, no.

A warning's not good enough anymore.

We waste them.

Any objections?

Let's get him!

Let's get him!

When's this gonna happen?

Wednesday. You sure of that?

Who told you all this?

I can't tell you. Come on, who told you?

I can't tell you.

But it's a toy lease.

And it's going to be Wednesday.

Come here, you.

Easy, he's a cop. He's 5-0.

How do you know?

You're supposed to know.

Sergeant Riley.

Mr. McGarrett.

God, I've known you for at least 10 years. You never change. How do you do

it? Ginseng?

Rhinoceros horn?

What brings 5-0 over to the seamy side of town?

I don't have to tell you that, son.

My friend here tells me that the Toilies are planning to eliminate the new man in

town.

Victor Fong?

Him.

Where and when?

Where and when?

Tell him.

Tell the man.

Wednesday.

Outside the Imperial Gardens. They go there for dinner all the time.

We shoot from across the street, upstairs.

How many members of your gang are going to participate in this shoot?

Three, maybe four.

Got anything else to tell him?

Okay, beat it, but keep your eyes and ears open.

That's dirty money.

Well, that's dirty information.

Come on, what's going on, McGarrett?

What brings 501 on a local hit if my information is correct? It isn't local

And that's all you're gonna say, huh? But now trust me sergeant Trust me.

Do I have a choice?

I Got someone planted real close to him Unless I miss my guess. I'll know every

time he turns over in bed.

Yeah. Well, I want you to be close I want you to be the number one man Now

listen Joey listen.

Oh

So I'm there when the shooting starts. Then what? Listen, McGarrett, I don't

look good when I bleed.

Well, do as I tell you and nobody will bleed.

All right!

Everybody stay right there.

Take the money.

Take all.

We tell no one.

Okay? Please, no more. What were two of us, you say?

Okay, tie him up.

Jack him.

Yeah, go ahead, Duke.

They're in there, Steve.

All right. Can you see our signal? Follow.

Okay. Put your weapons down, hands on your head.

Now, the man means what he says, and you know damn well that I do.

Okay. It's cool. It's cool.

Santa, is the people downstairs all right?

The young man was beaten.

Duke's taking care of him.

Beaten by these fierce warriors with guns, huh?

You know, we got a sword.

We got it to toil these dragons here, all prime stuff.

Mr. Wong.

Mr. Tuck.

Mr. Sue.

If you'd be so kind, Sergeant, as to take them down, book them, salt with a

deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit murder.

You want me to book them?

Please, if you don't mind. And take them down quietly. Tell Duke to bring up our

automatic weapons.

You know, McGarrett, I would like to know what's going on around here.

You will, Sergeant. You will.

We're at a sensitive stage.

All right, move it. Move it. Come on.

What now?

Now we just hang in here and wait, Dano.

Dano?

Fire when I do.

Aim high, Dano.

Now.

What's he doing?

Just stay low. Stay low.

Oh, boy, we scored. Touchdown.

On this spot earlier today, police have arrested three alleged members of a

youth gang calling itself the Toy Leagues.

Charges of assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit murder have

been lodged against the three.

Residents of the area maintain that... You did it, man.

You really did it.

Look at this dragon here.

He not only saved my life, but he put the top toilets in the slammer. Without

them, they're nothing. They're schoolboys.

Chumps.

Pour the man a drink.

Okay, so let me tell you what happened.

So I tell you, I spot the toilet. All right, now listen up.

With the Toilies out of the way, we can quicken things up.

There's no need for a gang war.

It's messy, and it upsets the heat.

What I'm here to do is to bring the Kowloons together on this island to

organize the chapter.

The same thing is going on in LA and in Frisco.

From here, I go to New York and Boston and some other cities.

We'll get into that.

No more petty shakedown once we get this thing going.

This is gonna spread throughout the whole United States.

We're gonna get into things that you never even dreamed about.

In six months, you'll all be rich people.

And you're gonna have power!

So drink up! The Kahluns are number one again!

Number one! Number one!

Joey,

come here.

You know, kid, you gotta remind me of myself 10, 12 years ago.

Listen, when this thing gets going here, I'm gonna have to split.

But when I'm gone, you're gonna be top dragon.

Yeah, but, uh, what about Dave?

He ain't got the stuff you have.

Listen, we'll talk more about it later, okay? Right now, I gotta make some calls

to California.

Good night.

A murder attempt.

Beatings, pillaging, more criminal activity than we've had in Chinatown

since... Well, I can't remember when.

Steve, what's going on with the kids down there?

My guess is that the Kowloons are feeling their new muscle.

When do we move in?

Have you talked to your pal Joey about it?

You have been in touch with him?

No, sir. I've got to be honest with you. It's been over a week since Joey called,

and we haven't been able to spot him. haven't been able to... No, sir.

But it may be that... well, he hasn't had an opportunity to call us, or

maybe... Or maybe that he's finding gang life to his liking.

I doubt it.

I'm afraid HBD's going to have to pick him up, Steve.

Unless he's halfway to Hong Kong by now.

Governor, picking him up is easy, but then we've lost our only pipeline into

what might be a potentially dangerous and far-reaching situation.

No. If we pick him up, we may be missing our only chance to stop a Chinese mafia

from getting started here.

It isn't Joey we want. It's the big one.

Victor Fong.

All right, Steve.

But don't let this get out of hand.

Yes, sir.

You got it?

Steve, Dan.

Yeah, Dono. Any luck?

Well, you know he's been around.

Riley's look-see people tell us that.

Nobody else will give us word one.

Okay, let's call it a night.

Oh,

somebody's knocking. Hold it, Dono.

Yeah, hold it. Just a minute.

I'll pick you up about 6 a.m. We'll have coffee together.

Who is it? Who's there?

You make a lousy Chinese, I'll tell you that.

And by the way, what are you doing here?

Fong's people are liable to spot you. Are you kidding?

They wouldn't be caught dead near this place.

Best spot in town to hide.

We've been looking all over for you, Joey.

Hey, I told you not to worry, didn't I?

We got ordered to show the flag. A little muscle here, a little muscle

there. Couldn't get away.

How did it go after the shootout?

Are you kidding?

I'm a hero.

When Fong splits, I take over this town. This little Joey here is going to be

rich.

So much for that, Joey.

Now, tell me about Fong.

All right, this thing, this plan, it's a real head trip, you know?

I mean, it's bigger than either of us thought.

I mean, he's talking about dealing in junk, man.

Big chapters in every major city, pipelines to Hong Kong and Mexico.

Hell, man, he's even writing to China.

All right, I need names, dates.

specific places, the whole operation, you understand?

Yeah, well, he's got this red book.

I don't know, but I think it's the Bible, you dig?

I mean, he uses it for phone numbers, a reference.

I don't know, he keeps the thing locked in his room somewhere.

You think you can get a look at it?

Well, I can sure try.

I want the book, Joey. I want anything that you can get from it.

If we can't nail Fong yet, at least we can start to undermine his organization.

I want the book, Joey, you understand?

Okay, give me a couple of days.

Joey.

You're walking kind of tall, aren't you, Joey?

What do you mean?

Well, I get the feeling that you're beginning to think that you really are a

hero.

But maybe you'd like to return to being a Kowloon again.

To being the old Joey, huh?

Yeah, well, suppose I did.

I wouldn't stop with you. I wouldn't even try.

Time has a way of doing that. Time and the street.

And the way you have to live. They have a way of catching up.

The way they did before.

The way they did with your brother.

Hey, well, you don't have to worry about me, you know? I mean, I can take care of

myself.

I hope so, Joey.

I hope so.

Yeah, well, see you around, McGarrett.

Hey, Joey, where you been?

Around, uh, is Vic here?

On your feet, Dave. We got some people to see.

Hey, Joey, you want to come along?

No, no, I got a few phone calls to make, you know.

Okay. Hey, I got to split.

See you later.

Later, Joey. Yeah, okay.

Well, seems like you're not too upset about being Fong's girl after all. He's

the main man, not some young punk with a short memory.

Thank you.

This is a start, you know.

Maybe three or four visits and I'll have the whole thing.

Good, good. Just what I wanted.

Connections in San Francisco, Phoenix, Dallas.

Even addresses and phone numbers.

Joey, when the time comes, this will be invaluable.

Good.

But I need more. But for God's sake, be cautious, will you?

Hey, no sweat, man. Joey's been around.

Yeah, well, see you later, McGarrett. Yeah, beat it.

You sure about this, Julie?

We followed him all the way.

Lum was with me.

And this guy he was talking to, you sure he was a hit of 5-0? Hey, you think I

don't know Superheat?

His escape from prison, his saving me, his setup, he was setting me up. Damn, I

don't believe it. Not well believe it.

What are you going to do with him?

What we always do with things.

She's gonna be here any minute now, Julie.

Why don't you take off?

Julie.

You did good.

Mr. McGarrett, we do not call the police in Chinatown.

Normally, we prefer to handle matters ourselves.

Not always wise, Mr. Chan.

For centuries, we have dealt with our own problems without outside help.

And now you've decided to talk to us.

I have broken the silence once before, only once, during the Tong Wars when I

wearied off the bloodshed.

And I break it again now.

in departure from tradition that I cannot avoid.

Is it about the Kowloons?

Yes. A young man named Joey Lee will be killed unless I speak.

Joey killed?

I knew his brother, and I know him.

He is not a kwai chai, Mr. McGarrett. He is a good boy.

Yes, I know he's a good boy. Are you absolutely certain about your

information?

I heard the one they call Fong speak of him.

They know he is working for the police, and they will kill him.

After I called you, Joey came in.

They said they were taking him to Moi Wong Hall for a party.

Moi Wong?

Thank you, Mr. Chen.

You'll never regret what you've done for Joey and for us. Thank you.

Hey, man. I thought we were going to the Double Ten thing in Muay Wong.

I've thought of a better party.

A private one.

More befitting of a Kowloon dragon.

Oh.

Okay, sure.

That's cool.

One of the dragons, huh?

Top man, huh?

Backup's on the way.

We can't wait. Take the back, Ju.

Let's do it.

Hello. May I help you? Oh, yes, please.

McGarrett, Hawaii 5-0.

5-0?

I don't understand.

Do you know who the Kowloons are?

Some of them.

But there are no Kowloons here.

Well, we're looking for Joey Lee.

Mr. McGarrett, I'm a high school teacher, and Joey Lee was one of my

students. I know him.

He is not here.

Thank you very much. Sorry. Sorry to bother you.

Venom, let's go.

Oh, what's the next move?

I don't know.

Duke, check Joey's apartment. We'll try Victor Fong's hotel.

Sergeant, okay.

McGarrett, Hawaii 5-0.

Victor Fong here?

No.

We can get a search warrant in about 15 minutes.

You don't need a search warrant.

Help yourself.

We're looking for Joey Lee.

Do you know where he is? How would I know where he is?

Look, honey, we're not playing games.

Joey may be a candidate for murder.

I don't know where he is. I haven't seen him.

Okay. You tell your friend, Victor Fong, that I'm going to hold him personally

responsible if anything happens to Joey.

Okay.

Let's go now.

Got to be somewhere in Chinatown.

I got a feeling I know the man who might tell us where.

Riley. Himself.

This is McGarrett.

Patch me through to Sergeant Riley, Chinatown 1, please.

Sergeant Riley, McGarrett. Yeah.

The Kowloons have made Joey.

My information is they're going to kill him. Well, that doesn't surprise me.

Where would they take him for a ceremonial execution?

Execution of a hero turned traitor.

I see what you mean. Let me think.

The Bashu building.

An abandoned place on Malachi near 5th. They used to meet upstairs.

Okay, call Duke O'Kellen. Tell him to meet us there.

Get some backup.

If anybody comes for me, he's a dead man.

He means it.

All right, Donna, let him go.

Get out of the way.

Back, damn you, or I'll cut his throat right here.

Duke! If he's not released, Joey, by the time I count to five, shoot him in the

head.

Duke, do you understand?

In the head.

I understand.

One.

You're thinking of dying with me.

Two. You haven't got the guts.

Three.

Four.

I've got this one.

Not him, Sergeant. You've got the wrong man.

Dono, book them.

Duke, take Joey to Oahu Hospital.

Have him treated and take him home.

Take him home? What are you talking about? He's an escaped felon. Not

exactly, Sergeant.

I think Joey's learned his lesson.

He's made mistakes, lots of them.

But that's all over with now, isn't it, Joey?

You can bet on it.

Mr. McGarrett, thank you.

McGarrett, I think you owe me an explanation.

Sergeant, would you settle for a good Chinese dinner?

Slippery!
