Original subtitles

I see you, robber.

Guns. 50 to 60 million of them out there. And every one of them capable of

death and destruction.

Hey, sorry, we're closed, huh?

That's okay.

I got a gun. It's a rare item.

Seems to me it would be relatively easy to track down.

I'm holding an ASCII automatic.

Who the devil are you?

Me!

What are you doing good

Hey, tune that thing down. You want to wake up the roosters?

Oh, Raleigh, I thought we were going for pancakes.

Yeah, yeah, in a minute, in a minute. There's just doodles and some money,

okay?

Now keep the motor running.

Battery's low. Okay.

Hey, amigo.

Hey, man, what's this? Yeah, it's nice, huh?

Yeah. It's an apes case special. Now listen, you won't really need it.

It's just in case, okay?

Now be cool and you won't have to use it.

Don't tell me, Rowley.

I know what to do. I know, I know. You know? You keep an eye out. I will. I'll

keep an eye out.

You got a sister.

A sister.

How do?

Hey, sorry, we're closed, huh?

That's okay.

I got a gun.

All of it. In a sack. Fast.

I haven't got too much, you know.

That's okay. Put it in. Fast.

Easy, Virgie. Slow down. I'll hit to your right.

I don't understand this. You said the man owed you money.

I don't know what happened.

Tanami had to use my gun.

Just drive.

Swing in here. Come on.

Okay,

now keep to the right. Close to the shoulder.

All right, everything's cool now.

Now take a deep breath. Be yourself, all right?

Okay, now I'll do all the...

Your driver's license, miss?

Oh, my goodness.

We were just going for pancakes, and I... My purse. Where's my purse?

No driver's license?

I know we're going a little too fast, sir, but that's my fault. See, it's my

car, and I was showing my girlfriend here its juice and how she handles.

I'm sorry about that.

She was driving.

Yeah, I know, but she likes to drive, see, and so I just figured... Your name

is... Perky. I mean, Penelope Rogers.

Um, here it is.

Okay. I won't cite you for reckless driving, Miss Rogers.

This time.

Be careful.

Thank you, sir. Thanks a lot. Hey, we will be. Sorry about that.

Aloha.

Really appreciate it. Thanks.

We lucked out, baby.

That sure was a good handgun.

It was worth about two or three hundred, I bet.

Come on, let's go.

You take it easy now.

Officer, keep the crowd back here.

Sam, you want to move on?

What do you mean I assaulted him?

You know, he shot me.

He was trying to rob my store. I've been robbed six times.

Sir, check the alley out. No gun.

Nothing? What difference does it make? I've been shot.

Monty, take a look.

The one on the top came in this morning.

Attempted robbery, Chinatown Bakery.

They look like HK slugs.

9mm German automatic.

They are. Polygon rifling.

The one on the bottom is from the files of Senator Kurisu's assassination.

Get 5-0 on the phone.

No possibility of error?

They match perfectly, Steve.

The gun news this morning killed Senator Kurisu six weeks ago.

Who's got the gun now? I don't know. There's no trace of it. We've got to

find it, you know. The robbery suspect's on hold. Emergency receiving.

The proprietor of the shop is there, too.

Okay, we'll be here, Keone. Keep me informed. Thank you.

Kimo, Laurie, put those files aside for the moment. We got our first lead on

Senator Kurosu's murder.

Now, that handgun that killed him, an HK 9mm, back on active duty.

What do you got, Kimo? Photos HBD took of the robbery suspect. The punk called

Tanani.

Interesting.

Hey.

Kimo, here's the file on Senator Kurosu's murder.

All that was before I signed on, Steve. Yeah, that's why I'm handing it to you.

I want a fresh start.

The gun was stolen from the home of, uh, Roger Bancroft just before the senator

was shot to death.

Now, you can start if Bancroft's great.

You got it.

Duke, uh, you and Laurie question this Tanami character and the shop

proprietor. What's his name, Sonata?

That gun's got to be somewhere. Any case we develop hangs on our finding it.

Another harmless handgun, huh, Steve? Yeah.

Guns.

Everywhere. It's frightening. 50 to 60 million of them out there.

Owned by a nation of handgun lovers.

And every one of them capable of death and destruction.

Paul!

No, no. As you track, leading.

Your arm and shoulders are frozen, a single unit as you pivot.

Dad, if you get off my case, I just might zero in.

Try it again, Elliot.

Paul.

That's the ticket.

Mr. Bancroft.

A gentleman to see you.

Thank you.

Jim Croft, Jim Carew, Y-E-5-O.

Oh, pleasure.

This is my son, Elliot. Mr. Carew?

We're looking into Senator Kurisu killing again.

Oh, again? We've been over this same ground over and over again.

Well, we might have some new ground to cover.

An HK9mm was used in a robbery today.

Dad's missing gun?

You mean you found it?

Unfortunately, no.

Just the bullet that was fired.

However, it is the missing gun.

It's a rare item.

Seems to me it would be relatively easy to track down.

We're certainly trying, Mr. Bancroft.

But you must understand that there are millions of stolen handguns in

circulation. And they pass them around like chocolate drops.

There seems to be a demand for them. Why do you suppose my HK is the gun in

question?

Well, like you said, it's a rare piece.

I don't suppose there are more than a half a dozen of them in Honolulu.

And add that to the fact that the gun returned to action in the hands of a

thief.

Mr. Carew, we've been over this gun theft before with HPD, with your people.

I don't know what else I can tell you.

Yes, I understand that, sir. You see, I'm new on the case. I promise I'll take

up as little time as possible.

I wonder if I might see you again.

Sure. It's that way.

I see you keep an open, friendly house.

Oh, yes. My son has lots of friends.

I've gone over the records pretty thoroughly.

The file indicates the thief probably knew your property inside and out.

That's implicit.

Whoever it was knew how to skirt the outside alarm system.

And he knew his way to the gun cabinet.

Will you, uh, keep these unlocked?

Yes. If somebody wanted to steal a gun, he'd break the glass.

Yes, I suppose so.

This does make it easier, doesn't it?

Ah, there's, uh, there's where the HK 9mm was, huh? Yes.

You know, Mr.

Bancroft, if you keep guns around, you do have an obligation to keep control of

them.

These are unloaded, of course.

That goes without saying.

I keep all my ammunition under lock and key.

This picture here, do you think this young man has ever been a visitor in

your house?

No. No?

His name's Tanami.

Doesn't ring a bell.

Okay. I wonder if I could have a look around outside.

Sure.

Uh, that'd be the late Senator Kurosu's residence there, huh?

Yes, he was outside the house when he was shot.

You were close neighbors?

Well, physically, yes.

Yes, I'm told that you weren't exactly on the best of terms. It's no secret,

Mr. Carew. You were a violent political enemy. The gun control law he was going

to introduce. Elliot, don't interrupt.

It goes deeper than gun control.

It's Kurosu's whole mentality.

Government regulation.

Interference in a citizen's private rights.

The worst disease afflicting contemporary society.

You know what he did a week before he was shot?

He came to my house uninvited and said he was going to bury me alive. You

should have heard the threats that he made. Elliot, I can speak for myself.

The thief could have come up this way, and then he wouldn't have tripped off

that funnel alarm system.

If he was half monkey.

Well, if my gun was Curasu's undoing, then the loss of the gun is worth it.

Oh, I don't mean that literally. Of course not.

But a man has a right to keep a gun. It's a constitutional right.

See, I can't get any police protection.

I've had a... an expensive alarm system installed.

I've subscribed to a private security guard, and still I'm burglarized.

Violent crime is going up, up, up.

Yes, it certainly is, Mr. Bancroft. And that's mainly due to the easy

accessibility of handguns.

Good day, sir.

Well, he had a gun on me. That's why I tried to protect myself.

Mr. Sonata, we know there was a gun. We just can't find it.

Uh, did you notice anyone at the rear entrance?

No, I didn't see anybody but that smart punk in the room down the hall.

He's getting all the service.

Do you realize I'm charged with assault with a deadly weapon?

You know, I have to pay hospital bills, hire an attorney, while this thief gets

everything free at the public trough?

You're looking for a gun?

This is hysterical.

I didn't have any gun.

I went in there to buy a birthday cake for my girl, and this creep drew a

knife.

I don't know who shot him, man, but you got no case on me.

Attempted robbery is minor in comparison with a murder charge, Tanami.

What are you talking about, man?

Something more for you to laugh about.

That gun was used by the person who murdered Senator Caruso.

As of now, you and whoever was backing you at the rear entrance are prime

suspects.

Do you want to cooperate?

I don't know anything about a gun, and I'm gonna say it again, okay?

You got no case on me.

Hey, man!

You know, I'm gonna sue this pastry cut for assaulting me!

Ha ha ha!

I see you, robber.

Oh, my God.

Hey, hey, kid.

I see you, robber. Hey, kid!

Give me that gun!

Don't do that!

Becky?

That's another 9mm slug, Steve, but, uh, whether it was fired from the same HK,

we'll have to see it on our ballistics.

How about the girl?

Lodged against her spine. They're trying to extract it.

Yeah, well, I'm not waiting for any ballistics report. It's 100 to 1 shot.

It's the same gun.

Find it, Doctor?

Well, see if we got a match, Gary, huh?

My son, we know you didn't mean to do this.

Where did you hide the gun?

We just want to find that gun, son.

Dr. Smith called nuclear medicine.

Dr. Smith called nuclear medicine.

How can a child get hold of such a terrible thing?

How?

Because the guns are out there everywhere.

And all this pointless pain and suffering could be prevented.

I'm sorry. Hope and pray that your daughter will be all right.

Who's your friend?

Steve, this is Taki.

Hi, Taki.

Mama. Your daughter will recover, Mrs. McCullough.

God, Mom.

God, if it's gonna be all right, then we're gonna go home. You there?

Your little sister's gonna be okay.

That's right.

You're gonna be back on the beach playing together pretty soon.

Tucky, everybody knows it was an accident, but we don't want it to happen

again to them.

No, sir.

We want to find that gun and get rid of it before someone else gets hurt or even

killed with it, don't we?

You show me where you left it.

I'll show you.

Good.

Come on.

You think this is where you left it, huh?

Uh, yeah.

There.

I put it in there.

No gun here, son.

Are you sure you left it here?

Yes. I put it in there, then I ran.

Well, somebody beat us to it. Somebody's scrounging, or maybe somebody saw you

stash it.

Okay.

Come on, I'll take you home.

I'd like a record of the bank's deposits.

They're gonna spring to Nami.

Spring? That's right. They said he can't hold them. No hard evidence.

No hard evidence?

What do they need to prosecute? A signed confession with his lawyers present?

Yeah, something like that, Steve.

We do our job, and we have to stand by helplessly while the DA's office decides

if he'll prosecute or not?

And if it does decide to pursue the case and gets a conviction, the court dismiss

with a slap on the wrist?

Duke? Yes, Steve. Stay on his tail. Dog him. Don't let him out of your sight.

Thank you.

They'd cut you loose.

Thanks for the clothes, huh?

Sure. But you shouldn't leave me in the alley like that, Roley.

I thought you were dead.

I did you a favor, Jack.

They wouldn't have cut you loose if you weren't so lucky that I picked up my HK.

You, uh, you still got it?

Yeah, by some freaky luck.

I had to get rid of it.

When I went back to get it?

This kid picked it up and shot a girl with it. Then he dumps it in the trash

and splits.

Funny, huh?

Yeah.

Let me see it, huh?

What?

I said let me see it, huh? Come on.

What?

Be careful, man. It's loaded, huh?

That's a neat piece, huh?

Yeah, really neat.

Here, listen.

I got another all-night grocery lined up over in North Shore. You gonna be ready

there, huh?

You ever waste anybody with this, huh, man?

Are you kidding?

I just keep that thing for leverage, man. Keep myself self-sufficient.

Where you get it?

Hey, that's personal.

Come on, give it back, man.

No. I'm going to keep it for a change, OK?

You tell me. Where you get it, huh?

Hey, why is that all of a sudden so important, man?

You know the guy that wasted Senator Caruso?

Mm-hmm.

He used it.

Don't put me on, man.

Five-0 told me, man.

There is money out there. Can't you figure?

Hey, man, we're in, man.

Hey, we're in. Hey, put that thing down, man. Hey, I got a glimpse of the guy

that used that thing, man. Tell me more.

I was sleeping off some beer down on the rocks, and the dog's barking, man. And I

look up where all the fat cats are living up on the cliff.

And all of a sudden, this dude runs to his backyard and throws that HK not 20

feet from where I am.

Man, that cat would pay a lot to get this gun, huh?

We're going to be big men!

And I'm going to be the hunter!

What about the car?

There was a red Ford convertible, primer paint, both were offenders.

Did you get a license plate on it?

No, it was dirty and bent.

But, uh, we found this 9mm shell.

It was on the floor.

Huh.

Obviously a foreign gun, huh?

Laurie, put out an APB. Maybe we'll get lucky.

Will do.

Gentlemen, maybe we're getting somewhere.

This might be the break we're looking for.

Thank you.

Shut the gate.

27th and Central.

Slow it!

What's going on, officer?

We have an APB out on a guy, and we just spotted him on your property.

Now he's running loose in the neighborhood.

Step on it.

What neighborhood?

In what direction is he moving?

Yeah, is he alone?

Any indication if he's armed or not?

Steve, suspect on foot, under pursuit. Hawaii Kai.

Yeah, we just got it, Duke. Thank you. Okay, we're on our way.

Let's go.

He gave you him.

Yes, apparently we've had another prowler in just a minute.

Elliot!

Gordon, I'm gonna put you on hold just for a minute.

Bancroft residence.

Mr. Bancroft?

Speake.

Mr. Bancroft, hear me clear now.

I'm holding the ASK automatic you used to shoot Senator Caruso with.

Who the devil are you?

I saw you throw it from your backyard down to the beach.

Now, listen, you got...

One hour left to get to the bank. I want $50,000 in cash.

Now you can meet me. Now listen, you.

Whoever you are, I can have this call traced. 50,000!

My name's Rudy.

Meet me at lookout point Tantalus Drive. Be there at 4 o'clock. And come alone.

If you bring anybody with you, I'm taking my merchandise to Y50.

Operator?

Who was that?

A creep, a crank, somebody strung out.

Want me to call the police? You got faster action from the United Nations.

I'm on another line.

Gordon, this is a bad time for me.

Hey, Dave.

Let's get it together.

Marty called. Says the soup's great out at Makapu.

We can take my van, but I'd like to stop by and get Keone's board.

Marty!

I'm sorry, baby.

Do you know it was you, baby?

Perky!

Perky!

That was a gunshot!

Central, this is Lou Keller. Pass me through to McGarrett.

Central to McGarrett. Lou Keller calling.

Yeah, McGarrett, go ahead.

It's our boy.

He took the girl's car.

A blue Volkswagen convertible. No license number.

Very well. I'll notify air reconnaissance.

10-4.

All units, blue VW convertible on point center, approaching Skyline Drive.

Yeah, now we're on top. We're closing. Do not alert suspect. Repeat, do not

alert suspect.

Please fly clear.

Rudy? I'm not little boy blue.

Hey, you don't sound like the same guy on the telephone.

Easy.

That's... That was my father. I was on another phone listening in.

So you killed the senator, huh? Funny, you don't look the type.

Now open it up and count it for me, killer.

It's... Easy.

50,000 in hundreds and fifties. Okay, put it on the front seat. Back off!

I hate to give a man a loaded gun.

They can backfire.

Now get rid of it right this time.

I don't want it traced back to me either.

And don't throw it just anywhere for somebody to find it.

Dismantle it.

And throw it in the pearly deep, you got that?

Where's the gun?

What gun?

Mister, we have enough charges against you to glut the courts for the next 15

years. Beginning with the murder of Senator Curacao.

Now, where's the gun?

I didn't murder nobody.

How about Tanami?

We were struggling for the gun.

Yeah? And the girl an hour or so ago?

That was an accident.

Sure, they're all accidents, aren't they?

But it was no accident that you got this money, huh?

Only one person in the world would pay that much for this devil's handgun. Who

was it?

Who was it?

You want to take the rap from him, pal? Who was it?

I think I hear Elliot coming in now. I'll have him call you back.

Where the devil have you been?

I feel like an answering service for your craft.

I had some business.

I mean, does it ever occur to you that I might have things to do that you don't

arrange? A life of my own?

My God.

You're growing up.

You talk back.

You showed some spunk.

You like a beer?

Make it a whiskey.

Some girl give you the brush.

Take it from me, son, there are plenty of them around.

It's not a girl.

I've tried to do something to make myself count, to feel important, at

least in your eyes.

I'm not sure I pulled it off.

Well,

I hope this is not another question-and-answer session.

Afraid not, Mr. Bancroft. We've located your H.K. Is your son in?

Yes, in the den.

Where's the gun, Elliot?

Elliot, we know that you stole your father's HK.

We know that you shot the senator. You were accusing my son. Stay out of it.

Then you ran back here and you threw the gun off the cliff and back.

May I have the gun, Elliot?

Things don't always work out.

You told me the next time you saw Curacao, you'd kill him.

So I thought I'd do you a favor and take the credit. Give me the gun, Elliot.

You pulled it off, Pop, I'm sure.

I didn't, but I tried.

Elliot.

Steve.

My ammunition is in there.

Elliot!

All right, Kim, I'll break it down.

I did it for you.

Okay, book him. Let's go.

You're not taking him.

You can't do this.

Put the gun down, Mr. Bancroft. He couldn't have known what he was doing.

It was a mistake.

This will destroy him. If anything will destroy him, it's what you're holding.

They're always so handy, aren't they?

So within reach. Do you realize that that gun has killed a state senator, a

young man looking for some way to be a big man, a pretty young woman who never

knew what happened?

It almost paralyzed the little girl, and just now your son tried to kill himself

with it.

Please, don't give me that old cliche that guns don't kill people, that only

people kill people. That's nonsense.

Absolute nonsense.

If there were no handguns available out there, a hell of a lot of innocent

people would still be alive.

What is this love affair? What is this fascination that Americans have for

guns? It happens nowhere else in the world.

When and where?

Do the rights of you gun lovers stop, and the rights of the public for

protection of life and limb begin?

Answer me that. Now look at yourself, a rational man, holding a weapon of death,

fully loaded on a police officer.

Please, let's not... Let's not do any more damage, Mr. Bancroft.

Give me the gun.

Thank you
