What is it?

Something's wrong. He's not coming up.

He is not dead.

It's all a plot.

Well, the police report says otherwise, Miss Shand. Mr. McGarrett, are you here

on official business?

Yes, I'm looking at the journal, Walkerstown.

Miss Shand, you promised. If you've got a positive theory, move in.

If Roland is a true psychic, he could come up with things that would seem

miraculous.

Millie, it's good to see you again.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Who called, honey?

Um, Sebastian.

What do you want?

To talk to you.

Well, we'll have to wait till next time around.

Tomorrow morning, we're up and away, as promised.

Jeremy, by tomorrow.

Let's make it now.

Hey, it's my last dive, honey.

I told you, I want some of that black coral.

Hold it for me, honey.

Jeremy? Yep.

Relax, Carol.

I'll stay down just long enough to get a good-sized tree.

Okay?

It's been 20 minutes, Elliot. He should have his tree by now.

He's got to come up in stages, Mrs. Walker.

What is it?

He's there.

Something's wrong. He's not coming up.

Do something, Elliot.

I'll radio the Coast Guard.

Jeremy!

This package is addressed to you, Steve.

Where did you get it?

A messenger brought it in.

Hear anything?

Steve, there's no stamps, no return address.

Maybe we should have the HPD bomb squad open it, or lots of kooks in the street.

Oh, I know, Dana, but this looks harmless enough.

Williams, 5-0.

Yes, sir, Governor. Hold on.

Steve, Governor.

Yes, sir.

I've got a surprise visitor here, Steve. Someone asking for you.

It's an old friend.

No, you'll never guess who it is.

I'll be right over, Sonny.

How did you know, Steve? I'm psychic.

Good morning, Michonne. My goodness, that's extraordinary.

What's extraordinary?

Your use of the word psychic.

That's what's brought me to Hawaii this time.

Oh, and here I thought it was to bring me an autographed copy of your latest

book. That's just my pleasure, young man. Your contribution to the case of

the frozen assets was satisfactory.

This new assignment should be, how do you say it, a piece of cake.

Assignment? What assignment is that, Governor?

It's, uh...

It's about that scuba diver who drowned last week. Drowned by foot. It is

perfectly obvious Jeremy Walker did not drown.

He is not dead.

It's all a plot.

I'm sure he's alive.

Well, the police report says otherwise, Michelle.

Where is his body? Where is a single piece of real evidence he drowned?

Oh, my God. Garrett, the police have been derelict. They've done nothing but

poke down in that reef with a couple of scuba divers. And when they came up

empty, Jeremy was pronounced dead.

A team of four expert scuba divers is not a couple.

And a 12-hour search is not exactly poking around, Michette.

Mr. McGarrett, Jeremy Walker faked his own death.

He is hiding somewhere.

I've written 35 Henri Reynaud mysteries.

I ought to be able to recognize a conspiracy when I see one.

Conspiracy?

Where's the conspiracy? I don't understand.

Perhaps you should start at the beginning.

Certainly.

I'll plot it all out for you.

Chapter one.

Jeremy Walker, a suspected fortune hunter, marries my niece, Carol.

Suspected of fortune hunting by whom? Me.

Oh.

Chapter two.

Carol's father dies and leaves a very large estate.

Carol's father was Millicent's brother, Steve.

Yes, and that's chapter two. Now, what about chapter three?

Jeremy Walker, as an alternative to spending the rest of his life with a

sweet but rather shallow young woman...

enters into a conspiracy with a phony spiritualist named Sebastian Roland to

bilk my niece of her fortune.

How? How would he do that?

By faking Jeremy's death and then by bringing him back in a séance where he

tells Carol to give Roland half a million dollars so that they can keep on

communicating. I see.

So, you think that her husband and this spiritualist are in cahoots? Yes.

And your niece?

How does she fit in? Well, Carol is a dear, innocent, ingenuous child.

Head over heels in love with a scamp. Easy prey for those two rogues. Oh,

she's hooked on spiritualism now.

Miss Shand, you realize that even if what you say is true, if your niece

wants to turn over that money voluntarily...

Ignorance, if it is voluntary, is criminal.

Samuel Johnson said that, and he is right.

My brother's will appointed me her advisor.

That doesn't mean I can stop her, but it gives us a precious little time in which

to operate.

Us? Us, Governor? Your assignment, McGarrett, to expose the conspiracy.

I am staying aboard the family yacht. If you care to call on Henri Renault, he

isn't hampered by ordinary police routine.

Governor, I think we should have a serious talk.

I'll tell you what. Run a check on Roland's background, reputation,

credentials. There are research centers at, uh... Palo Alto and Duke University.

Do it by phone. It's urgent.

I think the whole thing's a put-on.

There are a lot of believers there. You bet.

And, Duke, you might also check with the London Psychical Society.

I think there's an institute in Paris, too. Right.

I'm going to meet Carol Walker, Michonne's niece.

I'll be out at Roland's place if you need me.

When Jeremy was alive, he was hooked on spiritualism, Mr. McGarrett. Did he ever

ask you to make a substantial gift to Roland's research group?

He suggested it once or twice.

But I didn't share his enthusiasm or his beliefs then.

And do you now?

Now?

I've seen and talked to Jeremy in a séance.

And it's a great comfort to me, Mr. McGarrett.

I'd like to think Aunt Millicent is right about Jeremy being alive, whatever

the reason.

But I know he isn't. I know he's dead.

And no doubts about Roland, Carol?

No, Mr. McGarrett.

He's made a believer out of me.

Seeing Jeremy and talking to him couldn't have been a fake.

There's still areas of noncommunication in the occult, and a medium can only do

so much.

Roland says that's why his research group needs funding and that's why I

want to help Miss Walker Mr. Roland is free. He

can see you now this way, please

This is Mr. McGarrett, Hawaii 5-0. Mr. McGarrett. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Willie. You can return to the correspondence now.

Excuse me, that gentleman looks very familiar to me.

Pitts William?

Well, he's an invaluable helper.

But you're right, he does have kind of a universal face.

Mr. McGarrett, are you here on official business?

Yes, I'm looking into Jerry Milwaukee's death, yes.

Ah, yes.

It was tragic, wasn't it?

Well, part of the tragedy is the lack of proof that he really is dead.

Carol, did you bring the watch?

Uh, yes.

Roland has promised to try and locate Jeremy's body.

And he was wearing this before he went diving?

Yes, Roland.

Jeremy Walker was a personal friend, wasn't he?

Yes.

Interested in psychic phenomena, too?

A believer?

We are all believers, Mr. McGarrett, deep down.

Whether we like to acknowledge it or not, in the very atoms of our

subconscious.

And you claim that Jeremy's appearance at your seance is...

Proof of the ability to bridge the gap between life and the hereafter?

It was proved long before now, sir.

Water.

Very deep.

He's choking.

There's water in his nose and mouth and throat.

Lung.

It's choking.

I'm sorry, Carol.

Maybe... Please go on, Roland.

I want to go to the yacht.

On the deck.

Where is it now?

It's still anchored offshore, but... Aunt Millicent's aboard.

Your aunt's antagonism doesn't bother me, Carol.

I'm getting very strong messages from Jeremy's watch.

He's here.

Somewhere close.

Dead?

Yes. And you are communicating with him now?

I'm trying, Miss Shan.

So he can tell you exactly where his dead body is?

Below.

He went down too far.

He was searching.

Over there.

About 25 or 30 meters.

He's caught in the underwater fissure.

You say he's caught?

He's trapped.

Foot in a crevice.

He's down there now, Carol.

Deep.

Very deep.

Yes, I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

How long has the diver been down now?

Just about 40 minutes, I'd say.

Well, he can stay down there all day for all the good it will do.

I must say, you put on a good show, Roland, little faddling around with that

watch the way you did.

Now you can say the spirits weren't right or that the psychic forces were

all wrong, because you know that Jeremy isn't dead.

About 2.75.

His ankle's caught in an outcropping.

Can't fault Roland's credentials, Steve.

He's highly regarded as a medium by the London Research Society.

and as a genuine psychic and clairvoyant by the Psychical Institute in Marseille.

What does highly regarded and genuine mean?

It's not really a science, so there are always controlled experiments.

I'm still waiting for some reports.

Dana, I checked with Palo Alto, Duke University, and an outfit in

Connecticut. They all know Roland and respect him.

Well, there you are, Michonne.

Well...

Well, with Jeremy dead, I was wrong about a conspiracy between him and

Roland. But I am not wrong about Roland being a fake.

He is an unprincipled opportunist, capitalizing on Jeremy's death to build

Carol out of half a million dollars, robbing a watch and describing exactly

how and where Jeremy died.

How do you think he located the body, Michelle?

He must have. have known exactly how and where Jeremy died.

And if that was the case, we'd be looking at murder, wouldn't we?

Yes.

Yes, McGarrett.

But then again, he may be a genuine psychic.

And we'd all look foolish if we charged him, wouldn't we?

Not in my book.

By the way, Steve, one of the Duke University researchers is living in the

islands now, semi-retired on the North Shore, Professor McKinnon.

Thought you might like to talk to him. Yeah, good idea, Dan.

You ask whether it's possible to touch an article of clothing or jewelry and

receive an impression of the owner.

Something startling that the psychic couldn't possibly have known beforehand.

Yes. And, of course, the answer is yes, certainly.

Beyond?

Logic or reason?

Beyond our intellectual acceptance of things.

Because we are not gifted psychically.

Professor, what is the basic difference between a psychic and medium?

Well, speaking simplistically, a medium or a contact is just what the word

implies. He or she is an intermediary between us and the

world of the dead.

A psychic has an almost unbelievable ability to feel or receive

telepathic messages or signals.

Look, can the psychic or the medium cross over into each other's fields? For

instance, could Roland locate a dead body, pinpoint its location, tell the

cause of death, feel the emotions of a man at the very moment of death?

Mr. McGarrett, I am not going to state categorically that anything is

impossible.

There are documented police cases on the mainland and in Europe where psychics

have helped the authorities solve crimes.

If Roland is a true psychic, and there is evidence on file that he is,

he could come up with things that would seem miraculous.

Very well, Miss Shannon, you may ask your questions now.

I have no questions.

I have an opinion.

And what is that, pray tell?

Rubbish.

I must confess, I was impressed for a long... I didn't believe in psychic

phenomena.

But when you told us exactly where to find Jeremy, you removed

all my doubts.

So now you want me to conduct a seance?

Please.

I want to talk to Carol's father.

My late brother.

It's been a source of deep regret that I wasn't with him when he died.

With your help, perhaps I can rectify that now.

When do you want this seance?

This evening.

What did you do?

I've already invited Professor MacKinnon, and Carol will be there.

Miss Shand, you're interfering in the course of an official police

investigation again.

When Roland flunks this test, it will expose him to Carol as the charlatan he

is. Miss Shand, do you realize if Jeremy Walker was murdered and Roland is

responsible, you're putting yourself in great jeopardy?

Nine o'clock, young man, tonight at Roland's house. Will you be there?

What choice do I have?

Martin.

Martin Chan.

Are you near?

Is your spirit free?

Will you appear to us?

Speak to your sister, Millicent.

who wishes to speak to you, and to your daughter Carol,

whose love for you reaches through me to your spirit.

It has been more than two years since your material form passed from this

earthly home.

Now is the time to reach out across the dark abyss

To the ones who love you.

Martin.

Martin.

Bridge the two worlds.

Speak.

Let us hear your voice.

Let us see you as we remember you.

In earthly form.

Martin.

Martin!

Millie, it's good to see you again.

Carol, my dear daughter, I'm so sorry about Jeremy.

Martin!

You called me Millie. I know you always disapproved.

Martin, do you remember... Do you remember my first bow?

So long ago. So long.

Wasn't it Tommy?

I remember the night Tommy took you to the school prom and you came home alone.

I remember you couldn't stop crying.

Don't despair, child.

Jeremy as well.

He can come again and again and talk to you.

There are even other things possible undreamed of on your earth.

Be happy, Carol.

And be wise, Millie.

I love you both.

Be patient.

Let your heart rule.

It is the heart that counts.

Good morning, Carol.

Good morning, Mr. McGarrett.

Where's Michonne?

She left right after breakfast.

Have you spoken to her?

No, I haven't.

Aunt Millicent said she wanted to talk to you, too.

But she's at King's Alley autographing her book.

After last night, I guess you know why I've changed my mind about Sebastian

Roland.

Have you got a moment? I'd like to speak to you.

Sure. Thank you.

How long were you married, Carol?

Nine months.

You meet Jeremy here in what?

Boston.

Before your father died?

After.

Jeremy and I lived in my daddy's home in Boston the first three months of our

marriage.

and then we outfitted this yacht and came out here.

Now, that day last week, when you decided to leave Hawaii, was that your

idea, Jeremy?

Well, I wanted to leave long ago, but that morning he said that

he'd settle things and we could go.

Settle things?

Well, he had changed his mind about spiritualism, and he said I was right

all along.

And he told me that he was glad that I hadn't listened to him

about giving Roland all that money.

What about the money?

Tell me about it.

Aunt Millicent made me promise to wait

just a little while.

And then if I still wanted to, that she wouldn't object.

But I added a codicil to my will just in case.

Because if... Well, if I die, I would

like to think that someone, somewhere, might be trying to

help Jeremy and me.

I see.

And after last night, what about Aunt Millicent?

She was very subdued.

Subdued, huh?

Subdued, nonsense, thoughtful, perhaps.

There's a difference, you know.

The only puzzle to me is how he did it.

You recognize your brother, then, no mistake?

And his voice.

Though it was kind of muffled.

But he's remembering Tommy. That's what I keep thinking about McGarrett.

I understand that some first editions of Henri Renault's earlier cases are going

at a premium.

Happy reading. Thank you very much. I've read every one of them. Oh, good.

Business looks good.

How is your business?

I'd say we're progressing.

Checking Roland's credentials.

Luring possibilities.

That's police jargon, McGarrett.

Thank you, sir.

Happy reading.

Just because I was wrong about a conspiracy between Roland and Jeremy.

You might have been right.

Do you mean I might have been right?

Maybe Jeremy did enter into a conspiracy with Roland in the beginning, but then

changed his mind and decided to stick with Carol in marriage.

I did feel that she and Jeremy were growing closer.

But Garrett, if that was true, and Jeremy did call off his deal with

Roland, couldn't that have been a motive for murder?

A theory, Michonne, a theory.

If you've got a positive theory, move on it. Close in.

Duke, have you received a report from the London Society on Roland yet?

Not yet, nor from Marseille.

Professor McKinnon was impressed with that seance last night. He can't explain

it. But I think I can.

I asked the professor to run a test of his own.

How?

He's going to ask Roland to try to bring back a dearly departed wife.

A wife he never had.

Miss Shand is not involved in this, is she?

No, no, no.

She'll behave. I made it absolutely clear to her that she was not to operate

on her own.

Has the material from the London Research Society arrived yet, Willie?

Yeah, it has.

All right, I'll be in the room. Let me know when he arrives.

The car is arriving.

Right this way

Please

sit down

There.

Now, you understand a contact is not always successful, especially the first

time. I am very hopeful.

Success depends on the will of the subject and the strength of the appeal.

Are you near?

Your husband, David, wishes to speak to you.

Ruth?

Ruth?

Is your spirit near?

Can you come to us?

Something disturbing here.

A contrary aura.

Something alien.

Hostile.

Ruth, can you reach out across the dark abyss and respond to the love you left

behind?

I feel it.

My God, Ruthie.

You called me without credentials.

How could we be married?

You never even asked me to marry you, David.

Why are you reaching for me now when it's too late?

You always were devious, David McKinnon.

Never told me what was really in your heart.

You were not truthful with me 18 years ago.

You are not truthful now.

Why are you lying now?

You're a fraud, Mr. McKinnon.

It's Ruthie.

Ruthie Summers.

I don't know why you came here, Mr. McKinnon.

I don't know why you lied to me about being married, but I do know that you

troubled this poor soul in life as you are now tormenting her in death.

That's not true.

I never promised her anything.

Willie! I don't care to hear your explanation.

It's obvious you're playing out some devious scenario here.

But I want to warn you that practical jokers have tempted the unknown before

Mr. McKinnon at their own peril.

Would you put him up to this, Miss Shand?

Why are you tempting the unknown?

It would be a pity if you never got a chance to write your next book.

Are you threatening me, Roland?

When you meddle with things beyond your comprehension, the unknown threatens.

Roland, in spite of the fact that I consider you a fraud,

I must admit you have distracted me.

Distracted you?

Shaken me three times now.

I have a deal for you.

What kind of a deal?

I've challenged him, McGarrett.

Challenged him? Miss Shand, are you meddling again?

Listen, McGarrett, up to now, that man has had everything his own way.

All of these so-called appearances have taken place in his own home, under his

conditions. I've challenged him to perform where he won't have that

advantage. And where is that?

Aboard the shop.

And I've promised him if he can bring Jeremy back right here in this cabin,

I'll withdraw all my objections to Carol giving him half a million dollars.

Come in, Mr. McGarrett. Thank you. Thank you.

I had no idea she was in the closet during the seance.

How well did you know Ruth Summers, Professor?

Well, I met her in England when I was teaching there for a year, almost 20

years ago.

Serious affair?

Yes, for a while.

But then I returned to the States and she married a year later.

When did she die?

15 years ago.

Did you correspond with her?

Well, before she married.

Did you save any of her letters by any chance?

As a matter of fact, yes.

Do you have a picture of her?

Yes, but why?

Well, if Roland is a fake, he had to know all of this somehow.

What better way than through old letters?

Now, where are they, by the way?

They're in the bookcase.

May I see them?

Of course.

If Roland...

is a fake.

How would he know about Miss Shan and Tommy, um, well, her first beau?

Oh, he could have found out from Jeremy.

Jeremy and Carol visited the family home in Boston on their honeymoon.

He can be sure there were mementos around there, too.

Well, everything seems to be here, McGarrett.

I suppose... Now, wait a minute.

This photograph of Ruth, that's exactly the way she looked at the seance.

The same hairstyle, the expression, exactly the same.

And these letters from Ruth, they have all the information about our

relationship that Roland could possibly have needed.

He knew in

advance you were coming to see him?

Yes, of course. I made arrangements by phone.

Well, he probably checked up and found out who you were.

Then he studied these letters and duplicated that photo.

And that wouldn't be difficult.

I live alone and I'm not here a great deal.

I must say I was startled when Ruth made her appearance.

But now I see how Roland did it.

Photographic image?

Exactly.

What about the voice?

How did she sound?

Well, it was obviously filtered.

But, of course, she was speaking from another world.

Wait a minute.

That man, Fitzwilliam, Willie.

I know I've seen him someplace before.

Yeah, I remember now.

He had a puppet show on television.

May I use your phone? Yes, it's right there.

Dunham? Anything come in?

Got that report from the London Psychical Society.

There were two incidents involving Roland during seances.

Incidents?

Deaths. He was charged a second time.

Seems he was a beneficiary in each will.

Charge was later dropped.

I want to be at that seance tonight, Denno.

You think Miss Shan's in danger? I think Carol is.

She made Roland the beneficiary in her will. I'm going to need you and Duke

there, too.

Shall we meet you at the dock?

Yeah, please.

And in the center drawer of my desk, there's a sealed envelope.

Bring it along.

Right.

Thank you, Professor.

I appreciate everything.

Well, thank you.

We ask you, Jeremy Walker, to appear before us.

We come to you with open heart.

Can you hear me, Jeremy?

Carol is here.

And Millicent Shand.

We want to speak to you.

Reach out to us, Jeremy.

Reach out. We are waiting.

Touch us with open heart.

Jeremy, please.

Jeremy, can you hear me now?

Come to us, Jeremy.

Now.

The spirit is near.

Jeremy is close.

Come to us, Jeremy.

Now.

Don't move, Roland.

This is not Jeremy Walker.

This is Steve McGarrett. I've come to seek retribution.

Recompense for evil done.

Jeremy can't come. He's dead.

He was brutally murdered by someone in this very cabin.

And Jeremy is crying out from the grave. Justice must be done.

Retribution?

Retribution against you, Roland.

Three times murderer.

Three human lives sacrificed in your quest for money.

Hold it.

You're under arrest for the murder of Jeremy Walker.

Hook him down. I'll murder one.

How'd you do that?

How'd you appear like that?

Photographic image. Same device Roland has been using right along. Watch.

Duke!

There's your magic.

He projected it right over there.

Good heavens.

Carol.

We understand about Jeremy now.

HPD is searching Roland's estate right now for additional evidence, including a

set of Navy Frogman's gear that Willie used.

Well, I know where that is, McGarrett.

Where? Why, in the closet, in the room Roland used for his seances.

Why didn't you tell me that before?

You never ask me.

Goodbye,

Sonny. We swept out under your rugs again, exposed to fraud and murder.

Good outfit, that 5-0 group of yours.

Thanks, McGarrett. You responded adequately.

Oh, thank you for the accolade, Miss Shand.

Adequately from you is high praise indeed.

Indeed.

Au revoir, or should I say, aloha.

I'll see you both in my next book.

What a lady.

So it was Roland who had Willie Fitzwilliam murder Jeremy Walker

underwater and then take the body down to where the diver found it. Sure was.

And he also operated the slide projector.

Steve, you know, she's really going to write that book.

If she does, I have a title for it. What?

The Spirit is Willie.
