HIGGINS:
I mean, I'm not surprised that
you ran out of petrol, again,

because you forgot
to fill up the Ferrari again.

I feel like
there's a "but" coming.

But, Magnum, could you not even
put in a quarter of a tank?

That's what I did.
I-I put in a quarter of a tank.

When?Last time I had money.

Right.

At least I got
the gas can, though.

Yeah, you keep a ten
dollar can of petrol

in a $200,000 car, which
actually means you plan

on being a cheap idiot
and running out of petrol.

I guess now
is kind of a bad time

to ask to carry the can
for a little while?

All right. I got it.

We're still three kilometers
from the nearest petrol station,

meanwhile the Ferrari
is abandoned

on the side of the road.

Relax. No one's
gonna mess with it.

You left it in
a no-parking zone, Magnum.

Yeah, on the west side.

I have literally never even seen
a tow truck on the west side.

I mean, i-it's highly unlikely.

Hey!

Hey!

Where were we?

Well, you were saying
how not only are you going

to replenish the petrol,
but you'll also be paying

the towing fees, the impound
fees and the parking citations.

Hmm, that doesn't sound
like something I would say.

[laughter]

So, how'd you pay
for all those fees?

Oh, excellent question,
Maleah. Magnum?

Uh, it's a long story.

Not really.

The Ferrari's in an impound lot

until Thomas can afford
to get it out.

When you say it out loud,
I guess

it's not that long of a story.

[laughs]
KUMU:
Ms. Higgins

refused to cover
Thomas this time

so it's just sitting
there, accruing interest.

Thomas, "interest" is a set rate

that they add to the fixed
amount you already owe.

[laughs]
You guys are too funny.

[laughs]

Well, can't you just
use a credit card?

HIGGINS:
Oh, no, no, he can't.

You see, Thomas has
two credit cards,

one of which is maxed out,

and the other of which
he uses to pick

simple knob locks.

[laughs] Man,
picking locks, solving cases.

Being a private investigator
sounds pretty cool.

It has its moments.

KELVIN:
I got to say, I think
what you do is awesome.

Helping people the police can't?

You guys are heroes.

No, seriously.
You are.

HIGGINS:
Well, that's very kind of you.

Hey, since
we're down here,

would you guys like
a tour of the cellar?

That would be amazing.

Yeah, sure, we'd love it.

Yeah? Follow me.

I know what you're gonna say.

What?You don't like him.

Of course I don't.

He's a classic Eddie Haskell.

Leave It to Beaver?

Eddie Haskell was always polite
and respectful on the surface,

but it was all a front.

He was always
up to no good.

I don't know, I'm suspicious.

I think he's just a nervous kid

who's trying too hard
to make a good impression.

Look, your situation

with Maleah is... unique.

You mean other women
wouldn't make friends

with their late husband's
love child?

No, no. Probably not.

[laughs softly]But I was gonna say,
I think, you know,

Maleah's the closest thing
you have to a daughter

a-and you're just
being overprotective.

No, it's intuition.

I just can't shake the feeling
that boy can't be trusted.

Hello.

Hey.What's going on here?

You guys studying for an SAT?

Ha-ha, very funny.

Just going over these numbers.

And how are they?RICK: We were well
on our way back

before the hurricane, with,
um, a few exceptions.

Okay, what's this? "M.T."?

Seems like your greatest
quarterly loss.

[calculator clacking]

Magnum's tab.Magnum's tab.

Which I will settle up
after my next job.

You mean after you pay
the citation, towing fees

and interest
to get the Ferrari out of hock.

Oh, no, no, no,
he's paying us back first.

Yeah, get in line.
He's owed us way longer.

[laughs]
What's funny?

I-I don't know, it's just nice
to be fought over, you know?

TC:
Bro, we ain't fighting

over you in a good way.

This ain't some old-time duel
where the winner gets the girl.

No, no, it's more like
a modern duel

where everybody loses
because you don't pay up.

Relax. I just got an urgent call
from a client

and once I solve this case,
I'll settle my debts.

You know, if we had
a nickel for every time

you said something like that,

it might actually be enough
for you to pay us back.

HIGGINS:
Guys, Magnum actually
has a point.

I've done some research
on the client,

and to say that he has deep
pockets is an understatement.

That's right.Hope so.

[door bells jingle]Speaking of which...

HIGGINS:
Mr. Braggs?

Juliet Higgins.
Nice to meet you.

Thomas Magnum.Thank you for
meeting with me.

Well, it sounded
urgent on the phone.

I-It's my wife Lia.
She's missing.

Have you contacted HPD?

Of course. But they can't help
because it hasn't been 24 hours.

So when were you first aware
of her disappearance?

This morning. Uh, we were
supposed to meet for brunch

after her hair appointment,
but she-she never showed.

She's only been gone
since this morning

and yet you think she's missing?

Lia would never not show
without calling.

Plus, she's not
answering her texts,

her phone's going
straight to voice mail,

and her Friend-Finder
app is off.

Listen, I'm telling you,
something is wrong.

I need to find her.

Whatever your fee is, I'll
double it and I'll pay up front.

Well, no, there's...We're happy to accept
your offer.

Look, there's got to be
a logical explanation

to why Lia's missing.

Uh, just give us

her cell phone number,
the name of the salon,

and we'll get
to the bottom of it for you.

Thank you.

So I guess Kamekona is now added

to the growing list
of people you owe.

He doesn't expect anything
for lending me his truck.

Helping each other out
is what friends do.

Yeah, but why is it always
your friends helping you?

Plus, you were
about to sabotage

a means of paying us back.

I can't believe you were gonna
refuse Mr. Braggs's offer.

Yeah, but why should
he pay us double?Says the man

not responsible
for the upkeep of Robin's Nest.

Listen, businesses
charge extra

for expediting services
all the time.

Yeah, and that's taking
advantage of people.

I won't do that.Magnum, it was his idea.

Plus, it's not like
he can't afford it.

You know, let's just figure out
what happened to Lia.

Okay. Her phone
is still off-line.

I'm just gonna keep
monitoring it,

see if it
comes on again.

All right, well,
in the meantime,

Colin said Lia's hair
stylist's name is T-Lo.

We should probably
go from there.

HIGGINS:
Excuse me.

Are you T-Lo?

As God made me. Sup?

Thomas Magnum, Juliet Higgins.
We're private investigators.

Uh, I understand that you're
Lia Braggs's hairdresser, right?

I'm a colorist.Oh, colorist.

Sorry. Sorry about that.

It's okay. T-Lo forgives.

Just, uh, don't let it
happen again.

Yeah, I know Lia.

I help keep her
grays on the DL,

but you didn't
hear that from me.

How can I help you?

Well, Lia's husband thinks
she might be missing.

She had an appointment with you
this morning, is that right?

Yes, but she was a no-show.

Really?

Really.

Okay, well, if Lia
did go missing,

it was before this appointment.

Yeah.[phone chimes]

What is it?

HIGGINS:
Her phone's back on.

MAGNUM:
Where?

Right around the corner.

It's this way.

Either Lia's late for
her appointment, or...

Someone else has her phone.

Hello, there.Hey. How you doing?

That's a really nice phone.
What is that, the XR?

Maybe the 11?

I don't know.
You want to buy it?

Look, we know the phone
belongs to someone else.

I found it in the trash.
That makes it mine.

Okay. We get it.

You, uh, out on this street
a lot?

All day, every day.
It's my block.

Gets pretty territorial
out here.

Did you happen to see
this woman this morning?

No. Not this morning.

But you do know her?

Kind of.
She goes to the hair place

right up there
every couple weeks.

Always gives me a little
something when I see her.

She sounds very generous.

[chuckles] People usually look
right through me.

Like I'm invisible. Not her.

She told me she volunteers
at a shelter in Waikiki.

Said if I ever need a place
to stay, I should go there.

Wait, this is her phone?

She okay?

Actually, she's missing.

And we're looking
for her.

Here.

I hope you find her.

Thank you.

Take care.

Why would Lia
ditch her cell phone?

And here of all
places. I mean,

especially since she
missed her appointment.

Maybe she's trying to disappear,
you know? Cover her tracks.

If that's the case, we
need to figure out why.

Lia's car still hasn't
been found.

Colin said it's a vintage
Mercedes without GPS.

So all we have
is her cell phone.

HIGGINS:
Yeah. I'm going through
her texts and photos

from the day she disappeared,
but there doesn't appear

to be anything
out of the ordinary.

[door closes]Keep looking.

KUMU:
Thomas? Juliet?

Colin.
They called. I-I
came straight here.

Uh, calm down. Who called?

I don't know. I-I
got, I got a call

on my home phone from
an unknown number.

I thought it might be Lia,

but it was one of those,
uh, distorted voices.

I had it on speaker, I managed
to record the end of it.

DISTORTED VOICE [over phone]:
$2 million

in unmarked, nonsequential bills

in three hours if you ever
want to see her again.

Keep your cell phone on.

We'll call back
with instructions.

If you tell anyone,
your wife is dead.

♪

I know this is difficult
to take in,

but we have a lot of experience
with ransoms.

S-So what's our next move?HIGGINS: Okay,

the kidnappers said
they were gonna call back,

so we just all need
to be prepared.

The most important thing
you need to do is stay calm.

And keep them on the line
as long as possible.

I'm gonna trace the call.

Even if I can't, anything
that we hear can be useful,

even background noise.

MAGNUM: It's also crucial
that you get

proof of life
to make sure that Lia's okay.

Right. Okay.

Good. Okay, well, now we need
to ask you a few questions.

Do either you or Lia have
any enemies,

personal or work-related?

No. Not-not that I can think of.

Well, they're asking
for $2 million, right?

That's a lot of money.
Is your wealth well known?

I'm not exactly a public figure.

I'm in commercial real estate.

I own and lease out
various buildings.

And do you know of anyone who
might have cause for revenge?

No.

I mean...

I've ruffled some feathers.

I've had a few
nightmare tenants.

I can't imagine

any of that stuff
would warrant this.

You'd be surprised.

[phone rings]

MAGNUM:
Okay.

Stay calm, keep him on the line,

proof of life.

You're a businessman, right?

Just think of this
as a business transaction.

Okay.

All right, all set.

[beeps]

Hello?

H-Hello?

DISTORTED VOICE:
Do you have the money?

Almost. I'm working on it.

Listen closely.
You're going to put

the $2 million in cash
in two separate bags.

You will meet a man

and exchange the money
for Lia's location.

I'll give you the details soon.

Understood?Yes.

And remember,
if you tell anyone, she's dead.

[beeps]You have to ask
for proof of life.

[beeps]

I understand,
but I-I...

I need to know
she's okay.

I-I want... I want
to talk to her.

You're not calling
the shots here.

[beeps]

Ask to speak to her,
or there's no money.

[beeps]

I-I have to talk to her.

Put her on.

What did I just say?

I'm in charge here, not you.

I need to talk to Lia,

or there's no money.

[line beeps]Hello?

Hello?[beeping]

Scrambled. I couldn't trace it.

What?! You just
killed my wife!

COLIN:
Why'd you have to push me?

If I'd have just said "okay,"
Lia would still be alive.

HIGGINS:
We don't know
that she isn't, Colin.

Okay, I know
how you must feel.

Do you? Do you, really?

Did someone kill
the person you love?

All I'm saying is that we
have to stay composed right now.

MAGNUM:
She's right.

If we take emotion out of this,
we're left with one simple fact.

All right? They want your money.

They're not
gonna jeopardize that.

Then why aren't they
calling back?

[phone dings]

[phone rings]

Hello?

DISTORTED VOICE: Price just
went up to $3 million.

We know you have it, Mr. Braggs.

We know everything about you.Okay.

And you no longer have
three hours.

Now you have one.

I-I'm not sure I'll be able
to raise that much cash in...

I'll call back with instructions
for where to bring it.

No, wait, wait.

[line beeping]

Colin, can you AirDrop me
that photo of Lia,

so I can pinpoint
their location?

[phone whooshes]

[computer chimes]

MAGNUM:
Anything?

The metadata is encrypted.

Can you hack into it?

It's an upgraded ESNI
with multiple hosts.

MAGNUM:
English.

Yes, but it will take hours.

We don't have hours.
What do we do?

How quickly
can you get the cash?

I've already got calls in
to multiple banks.

It's just I n...
I need an extra million now.

So we're just gonna go through
with their demands, then?

We don't have another choice
right now.

Colin, they said there
would be consequences

if you told anyone about this,

so you're gonna have to do
the handoff alone.

We will be watching,
but...

are you up to it?

For Lia, anything.

MAGNUM:
Okay.

We'll be trailing from behind.

Once you make the exchange,
we'll pick up Lia.

And the kidnappers, we're
just gonna let them get away?No, no, we have

some very trusted friends
we can get to follow them.Okay.

But...

is this gonna work?At this point,

this is the only option
we have, so...

let's get the cash

and get ready.

♪

We'll be in communication
with you the whole time.

You just have to keep this
in your ear.

[phone ringing]

No caller I.D.
It's got to be them.

Answer it.

[beeps]Hello?

DISTORTED VOICE:
Do you have the money?

Yes, I have it.

Then listen carefully,

because I'm only going
to say this once.

Drive to the east end
of Waikamilo Road.

You'll see an abandoned
building on the right.

Behind that is an alley.

Park and stay there
until you hear from me.

And you better be alone.

[phone rings]

Hello?

Walk a hundred paces,
put my money on the ground

and get back in your car.

Not until you tell me
where Lia is.

If you don't do what I say
right now,

you'll never see Lia again.

[line beeping]

Colin, do what he says.

[engine starts in distance]

[phone rings]

She's at 1497 Makano Street.

HIGGINS:
Colin, head back
to Robin's Nest.

We'll get Lia
and meet you there.

Okay.

[dials phone, line rings]

[phone rings]RICK: Hey.

Patching TC in.

I'm here.

HIGGINS: We're heading to Makano Street.

The kidnapper should be back
on Waikamilo.

RICK: Yeah, I got eyes on him.Same here.

[tires screeching]

[horn blaring]

Damn it.

He's headed for the highway.
I'm stuck

behind a car at the light.Okay, don't lose him, TC.

TC:
Don't worry,

he ain't shakin' me.

He's heading for the H-3 tunnel.

Rick, come up from behind
when you can.

I'll pick him up
on the other side.

Guys, we got a problem.

What is it?He went into the tunnel,

but he ain't comin' out.

Rick, where you at? You close?

Yeah. I'm headed in now.

[engine revs]

All right,
I got eyes on the car.

He stopped in the tunnel.

Damn it.

He's gone. So is the money.

He must have had somebody
in the tunnel waiting for him.

Okay, call Katsumoto
and tell him everything.

We're almost
at the location.

It's Lia.

Magnum, there's a note.

House is a rental,
but the management company says

it's been vacant
for the last few months.

The sedan was stolen from
the Ala Moana mall parking lot

last night.

Now, the kidnappers
swapped out the plates.

[phone vibrates]CSU's processing
it now.

MAGNUM:
It's Colin.

He wants to know how Lia is.

KATSUMOTO:
Wait.

He doesn't know she's dead yet?

We wanted to tell him
in person.

He's waiting for us
at Robin's Nest.

Just don't say it.

What?That the note

they left by Lia's body

was them telling us
that we slipped up.They knew

we were working with Colin--
that's why they killed her.

I was actually gonna say
that this isn't your fault.

It could have
just as easily

happened to us.

Hey, they were gonna kill her
either way.

Only thing we can do now is
find out who pulled the trigger.

Okay?

But I did everything you asked.

We know.

You did nothing wrong.

I... I'm not
second-guessing myself.

I'm second-guessing
the two of you.

Mr. Braggs, I'm sorry
to do this right now,

but whoever is responsible
is still out there.

It would be extremely helpful
if you were able

to answer a few questions
for us.

Listen,

we're gonna get
whoever did this.

Whatever it takes.

I think you've done enough.

If you do keep chasing this guy,
and I know you will,

I'm your first call
if you find anything.

[door opens and closes]

What is it?

I'm just replaying
how we found Lia.

Can you pull up

that proof of life photo
they sent Colin?

Yeah.

MAGNUM:
Okay, do you notice anything
different about the background?

It doesn't match

any of the walls from the house
where we found her body.

Must've been taken elsewhere.Yeah, I know

you said it would take a while
to hack into the photograph,

but if we can identify
where that was taken,

we might be able to figure out

who the kidnapper was.I'm on it.

MAGNUM:
Okay. In the meantime,

I'm gonna go check
in with Noelani.

Maybe there's some kind of clue

that's been left
on her body.Okay.

All right.

♪

Oh, aloha, Kumu.Hey, aloha.

You waiting
for someone special?

You know, my uncle is single
if you're looking.

I'm flattered, but I'm good.Change your mind,

you can check out his profile
on OK Venus.

But ignore his age.
He's ten years older.

And heavier.

And bald.

Kind of looks like a Hawaiian
version of the Kool-Aid Man.

Ooh, that sounds like
a real catch.

[chuckles] I'm scared how
you pitch me to other people.

You're kind of like
a Hawaiian Martha Stewart.

Well, I'll take it.
[chuckles]

[chuckles]Oh, scuse me, Flippa.

Oh, shoots.

Hey.Hey, Maleah.

Thanks for coming out here.Yeah.

Are you hungry?

They have a mean
garlic shrimp plate.

No, I'm still stuffed
from last night. [chuckles]Oh.

So,

how's Kelvin doing?

Oh, he's great.Good.

Good. What does he
do for work again?

Uh, he's kind of
in between jobs right now.

Oh, really? For how long?

Mm, like, three months.

Wow.

So,

how's he supporting himself?

Well, he's staying
with me right now.

I see.

[chuckles]: Uh, are you
trying to say something here?

Uh, what do you mean?

Well, it might not look like it,
but I have thick skin,

so you can be straight with me.

Good to know.

I guess I-I just have
some reservations

about Kelvin.
[chuckles]

But you don't even know him.

I know. It's just his tone.

I feel like he's covering.

It's, uh, it's almost like

a mother's intuition.

But you're not my mother.

I-I didn't mean to imply that...Look, just because

my dad was unfaithful to you

doesn't mean
that every guy is like that.

I know.

But I think we're friends,

and as friends, I have the right
to share my opinion.

I think you have
the wrong idea here.

I know I haven't spent
much time with him, but...I'm not talking

about Kelvin.
I-I'm talking about us.

We don't have
the type of relationship

that you think that we do.

They just brought her in
a couple minutes ago.

Katsumoto said you
might be stopping by.

You know,
I know there's protocol,

but I can make it
worth your while.

Chopper tour,

dinner at La Mariana.

You know,
I even have a turquoise Vespa

you could take for the weekend.

Take your pick.You know,

your bribes are getting old.

And how dare you offer up

Kumu's scooter?
No to all of that.

[sighs] But I will
help you out as a friend.

Look, Katsumoto
gave me a heads-up,

but it wasn't to stop you.

None of this is your fault,

and you need to get
whoever killed this woman.

Appreciate it. Thanks, Doc.

Well, obviously,

C.O.D. was a gunshot
to the forehead.

MAGNUM:
Huh.

CUNHA:
What? What do you see?Well,

it's what I don't
see. Her roots.

Why would you expect
to see her roots?

Well, Lia made an appointment
with her hair colorist

this morning,
but I don't see any roots.

CUNHA:
Interesting.

Right? I mean, why would she
set it up if she didn't need

a dye job?No.

I just noticed something else.

What is it?It's a bluebottle fly egg.

Pretty common here in Hawaii.

Do you know what this means?

Yeah. Yeah.

But-but why don't you tell me

so I know
that you know what it means.

Well, Mrs. Braggs' body

was found in a house
with no AC or open windows.

Now, the temperature inside
obfuscated the time of death,

but the maturity

of this egg indicates

she's been dead
for more than eight hours.

More than eight hours?Yeah.

Well, that means Lia was dead
before the first ransom call.

MAGNUM:
If Lia was dead before

the call came in, that
means the kidnapper

took the picture before
Colin asked for it.

Which means
he never had any intention

of returning her alive.

We need the metadata
from that photo.

I'm working on it.

Good, 'cause CSU got nothing

from the kidnapper's car.MAGNUM:
Hey, hey, Gordie,

by the way,
thanks for giving Noelani

the green light to help us out.

We really appreciate it.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

That'd be against protocol.

Keep me in the loop.

Will do.

KUMU:
Hey.

I heard what happened
with Mr. Braggs' wife.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah,
I'm hanging in there.

Had to come back
and hold down the fort.

What, you come all the way
down here to check up on me?

That and, um...

I needed some advice.

What's up?

Well, last night,
we had a dinner party.Yes, I know.

At Robin's Nest. And TC and I
weren't invited. Go on.

Maleah brought her boyfriend,

and I just got
a bad vibe off him.

How do you mean?

I mean I don't trust him.

Well, whatever you do,
don't tell her that.

You already told her that.

And I'm guessing

she wasn't having it.No.

Look, I know I'm not her mother,

but I feel this need
to watch over her.

And I know
Icepick wasn't your father,

but he was there for you.

He kept you on
the right path.

How'd he do that?

How'd he get you to listen?

Fear, mostly.

I knew I'd catch holy hell
if I did something stupid.

I'm not sure that's gonna work
for you and Maleah, though.

You know, I-I think the thing is

you got to let her
make her own mistakes.

I know that's hard,

but that's the only way
she's gonna grow.

Maybe this guy
is gonna burn her,

but she'll survive.

Especially if she knows
she's got you

to help her through it.

[computer chimes]Okay, I'm in.

The proof of life photo

is actually a composite
of two different images.

The photo of Lia
was taken months ago

whereas the picture of today's
newspaper was just photoshopped

on top.Is there any way to tell

who took them?No.

But the older one is geotagged,

so that could tell us something.

It's a rental property

owned by a management company,
Churran Inc.

I'll inform Katsumoto.Yeah, but even if
Katsumoto gets a warrant,

it's gonna be hours
before anything happens.

I-I say we go there.

If we find something,
we'll let him know.

Oh, he'll love that.Hey.

We get a lead, he'll forgive us.

[alarm blaring]

Great. We got 18 seconds.

Still on.

But now we can't use
the microwave.

[alarm stops]

That's one way to do it.

There's a bunch of bills here
addressed to Frank Braggs.

That's the same surname
as Colin.

Most of them are past due, too.
This guy's underwater.

[keyboard clacking]

Frank Braggs is Colin's brother.

So, either Frank had something
to do with Lia's abduction

or they got that photo
off his cloud.

What else
do you have on him?

Well, he certainly doesn't share
his brother's business acumen.

Several failed
financial ventures.

He currently drives an Uber
to make ends meet.

It actually looks like Colin

was helping Frank out
financially quite a bit.

Although the payments
stopped abruptly

earlier this year, which is when
Frank's financial issues

really started piling up.

Maybe Frank was trying
to get back at his brother

for cutting him off.
I mean, money has a funny way

of turning things ugly,
even between family members.

Especiallybetween family.

But if Colin and Frank
had fallen out,

is it strange that Lia
was here in Frank's apartment?

Photo could've been
taken before.

I'll see if there's
anything dubious from Lia's end.

Yeah, well, it looks like
she'd had several meetings

with a divorce lawyer
named Gil Silverman.

It seems Lia was planning
to leave Colin.

So, Lia and Frank
both had relationships

with Colin that went sour.

Perhaps they
orchestrated this together.

Faked Lia's abduction
to get money out of Colin.

And then Frank
double-crosses Lia,

kills her and keeps the ransom.

We got to find this guy.

[keyboard clacking]

He's at the airport.

That's the rideshare
pickup area.

He's got to be driving
for Uber right now.

Can you hack into his account?
See where he's gonna be next?

♪

And here's Frank
in the beige Corolla.

Frank?That's me.

[car doors open and close]

You drive around Waikiki often?

Uh, wherever the app takes me.

Tells me where to be and when.

[chuckles] Guess it's kinda like
having a spouse, right?

[chuckles]

That's funny.

Speaking of spouses,

uh, it would be...
[exhales]

terrible to lose one.

Like...

Like Colin, for instance.

Losing Lia
must have been

devastating.

Who are you people?

We are investigating
Lia's kidnapping and murder.

We would like to ask you
some questions.

Uh, yeah.

I heard-- I heard about that.

I-I had texted my brother,
but I haven't heard back.

Well, we know
Colin cut you off financially.

That must have been pretty hard
to deal with.

[scoffs]
You-you don't actually think

I had something to do with this.

That's exactly what we think.

We think you and Lia
staged the kidnapping

to squeeze a big payday

out of your brother.

But then you
got greedy.

Apparently,

your share of the $3 million
wasn't enough,

so you killed Lia

to take
her share, too.

Uh...

[chuckling]

What's so funny?Oh...

You.
[chuckles]

Well, rideshare passengers
in general.

See, you all seem to forget
that this is still just a car.

What's your point?

My point is that,
for some reason,

people always forget to
put on their seat belts.

[tires screeching]

[grunting]

[panting]

You all right?
[panting]Yeah.

Are you okay?The man

who ran off-- which
direction did he go?

Took off that way.

Magnum! There!

[tires screeching]

[pants]

[exhales]

[siren wailing]

[helicopter blades whirring]

Thanks.

We found a burner
in Frank's car.

Did you go
through the texts?Yeah.

All to another burner
that's been switched off.

Based on the texts, it likely
belonged to Frank's partner.

MAGNUM:
We need to find out

who that is.Actually,

no, you don't.

You guys cracked this one
for us.

But you need to stand down now
and let us close it.

You guys did good.

What is it?

Just how Frank reacted
when we dropped our theory.

What about it?

Normally, when you accuse
someone, what happens?

They get defensive
and try to deny it.

Exactly. Not Frank.

If anything,
he looked... confused.

Well, maybe Frank's partner
was the brains of the operation

and kept him
in the dark.

Or maybe
our theory's wrong.

If Lia was involved,
why would they kill her?

Perhaps they argued.

She had second thoughts
and wanted to pull out.

Maybe.

But there's other stuff
that doesn't add up.

Like how was Frank
and his partner

always one step ahead of us?
And how'd they know

that we'd trail 'em
by the air

and to switch cars
in the tunnel?

And if what we know
about Lia is true--

her generosity,
her volunteer work--

is-is that the kind of person

that would do
something like this?

Okay. What are you getting at?

I don't know.
Maybe we're looking at this

in the wrong way.

You don't think it was
a staged kidnapping?

No, I do.
I just don't think

it's for the reasons
that we originally thought.

I can't believe
my own brother would do this.

I...
[exhales]

I don't even know what to feel.MAGNUM:
I'm sure

you're going through a whole
range of emotions right now.

Yeah.

Um...

I'm sorry
I lashed out at you earlier.

You kept your word.

Thank you.

Just doing our job.

There is
one loose end though.

The police

found Frank's burner phone,

and it looks
like he had a partner

who's still out there.

Well, if there's anything
I can do to help catch him...

There is, actually.

Maybe you can help
us understand

how Frank and his partner
were always just...

one step ahead of us.

How-how would I know that?

Because you were
Frank's partner.

I-I don't know what
you're talking about.

MAGNUM:
No, actually,

I think you do.

See, we know
Lia was gonna leave you.

Right?
And a powerful man

like yourself couldn't
have liked that very much.

Frank's reaction
when we confronted him

made us dig a little deeper.

And that is when we found out

that Lia's hair appointment
was made from your computer

after her death.

You shot her.

And to cover it up,
you made it look

like a kidnap and ransoming
gone wrong.

But to pull it off,
you needed help.

So you asked your brother.

Now, we initially thought
he was angry

because he got cut off
financially.

But he's the one who actually
requested the stop payment.

He wasn't
angry at you.

He was indebted to you.

He would've done anything
to help you out of a jam.

And so, in fact, he did.

That's a great theory.

It's a shame you don't have
any actual evidence.

KATSUMOTO:
Actually, we do.

HPD's tossing your
house right now.

We found the ransom money,
Mr. Braggs. All $3 million.

You're under arrest.

[handcuffs clicking]

♪

Thanks for meeting me.

I... I want to apologize.

Kumu, you
don't have to.

Oh, please, let me.

You have to know
I was only trying to help.

I'm sure

Kelvin's a good guy.

A-And whatever bad feelings
I had about him,

I think it had more to do

with some unhealed wounds
in my past.

I still have some pain
from what your father did.

And...

and that's not your burden.

I really want
our relationship to be about us.

Maleah?

You know,

a few months after Dad died,

my mom, she came over
to build a barbecue.

She was only trying to help,

but I ended up
lashing out at her.

Because hewas supposed
to help with that.

You know?

And now she's gone, too, and
I end up lashing out at you.

I just...

I just miss her.

So much.

Maybe we both have
unhealed wounds.

And I think some stuff
just came to the surface.

But...

it actually meant a lot that you
cared enough to say something.

[chuckles softly]

So we can still hang out?

Going to dinner,

meeting up for lunch.
[chuckles]

Wow. I just realized--

we spend a lot of time
focusing on eating.

[both laugh]

Yeah. Of course we can.

♪

That was
the Braggses' estate lawyer.

There are
some legal loopholes,

but it looks like
all the ransom money is gonna go

to the Oahu Family Shelter,
where Lia volunteered.

They're even thinking
about renaming it "Lia's House."

Wow. That's great.

You know, and by getting
paid double up front,

we're still left
with 300 bucks.

There's no "we,"
Magnum.

What are you talking about? We
are partners. There is a "we."

No. Getting
the Ferrari impounded

is a personalexpense.

Speaking of which,
you do realize

that a third of our $900 payment
goes to work-related expenses?

Yes, which leaves us with $600,
right?

$300 of which goes
to the impound and towing fees.

And we are left with $300.

No, I'm gonna take care of this,

but it's coming out
of your half,

whereas I'm gonna keep
my $300.

So you get paid $300,
I get nothing?

Well, less than nothing
if you factor in taxes.

You know, if you just had
spotted me the cash,

I would have avoided having
to pay all those additional fees

while the car was
just sitting in the lot.

True. But then
you would have missed out

on this wonderful lesson.

Trust me,

I don't derive any pleasure
seeing you like this.

Mm-hmm.

No, no.
No, really. Really.

It hurts me just as much
as it hurts you.

[chuckles softly]
Somehow I doubt that.
