ANNOUNCER:
An incredible game today.

Waipi'o's up four,
but Kawela is driving.

All eyes on Titus Ioane,
who's miraculously

gotten his team this far.
Check 2!

38!
ANNOUNCER: Ball on the 35.

Hike!

ANNOUNCER:
Ioane looking downfield.

Has an open receiver.
It's caught!

A clutch throw by Ioane.

Get set, get set!

Watch the rush.

(whistle blows)
ANNOUNCER:
With scouts from every

conference watching, these next

ten seconds will determine
this young man's destiny.

Ioane takes the ball himself.

Heads to the house,
and he is in!

Touchdown!
(cheering)

Kawela wins!
What?!

(band playing fanfare)
Come on!

All right! All right!

Whoo!

(overlapping chatter)

(man screaming)

(crowd screaming)

(body splats)

♪ ♪

Can't find my gym bag.

Uh, left of the couch,
under the side table.
Oh.

Amazing. Now I need my...
Water bottle.

Yeah, but with the...
Electrolyte water.

Don't want you passing out
on the second hill.

Thank you. Oh, can you hand me
that stuff from the counter?

New case?
New lease.

For your apartment?

Oh, no, landlord's
selling my place.

And you already found a new one?

(chuckles) You got to move quick
in the rental biz.

It's not great, but,
on the plus side,

it's also too expensive.

Where's my phone?

How long have you
been looking?

I had it this morning.
For a-an apartment.

Uh, a couple weeks.

Everything okay?

(stammers, sighs) I had
no idea this was happening.

A-And I just want to,
you know,

be sure you did
your due diligence.

Find something that suits
your lifestyle.

The lifestyle of an NCIS agent
whose whole life

is work, gym, and you?

Yeah.

I mean, you're-you're here
all the time.

I am.

So...

So, you should use me for this.

What's your budget?
What's on your must list?

What's a deal breaker?
You shouldn't worry about it.

I'm not worried. It's fun.

Okay. If you want.

I do.
Great.

Awesome.
Uh-huh.

Phone is in your pocket,
by the way.

Oh. Yay. Thank you.

Amazing. Um...

Great.

(door closes)

(sighs) Brings back memories.

Stadium or the
crime scene?

Well, both.
Taking down bad guys

like taking down running backs
in high school.

Mr. All-State thinking
about a comeback?
(chuckles)

Ah, no. My body hurts just
looking at a football field.

And Jake, he won't even
look at a football.

I mean, it's all soccer
all the time.

Heartbreaking.

Yeah, Daniel tried
to get Alex, too,

but baseball
was in his blood.

Speaking of...

Victim is Petty Officer
Ben Ioane,

stationed at Pendleton,
but originally from the island.

His brother is...
Titus Ioane,

Kawela's quarterback.

When your ex

is a football coach,
these kids are household names.

Titus could be the next
Tua Tagovailoa.

Talented family.
File says Ben was a former

high school football star
in his own right.

Kept Daniel's team out of the
playoffs three years in a row.

About 20 minutes after the game,

he fell from
up there.

Fall, or
was he pushed?

Look how far out he is

from the walkway.
Someone gave him a hand.

Learn what you can about Ben.

I'm gonna go talk to the family.

(indistinct chatter)

Orchid for
condolences?

Never come
empty-handed.

I grew up like this.
Good people,

not a lot of opportunities,
but if you can play ball...

Changes everything.
Yeah.

For people here,
it's all about Fa'a Samoa,

Samoan Way,

so your touchdown is your
entire family's touchdown,

and your success is
the community's success.

Your loss is felt by everyone.

Hello. Special Agents
Tennant and Holman,

NCIS.

We'd like to offer our
condolences to the Ioane family.

Titus.

Jane Tennant,
NCIS.

Sorry to hear
about your brother.

He was
a great player,

and I hear
a great sailor, too.

Tennant?

Like the coach
from St. Lawrence?

That's my ex,

but I'm actually here
to talk about

what happened to Ben.

Do you know what happened?

Well, we're still
gathering information,

but it's why I need
to ask you a few questions,

if you're up for it.

Do you know why Ben
came back to the island?

Came to see me play.

And when was the last time
you saw him?

Couple days ago.

He told me to beat
Waipi'o's ass,

just like he did
when he was in school.

I just wanted
to make him proud, you know?

Since he's been gone
for so long.

Listen, I know this is hard.

Did Ben have problems
with anyone?

MALEKO:
Hey, Titus.

Champions no cry.

Not crying, Tama.

So, my brother tells me
you came with flowers,

but you also came as cops.

We're just trying to figure out
what happened to your son.

We don't know nothing, brah,

and Ben wasn't part
of this 'ohana anymore.

Why's that?

It's personal.

Did you see your son
before he died?

I haven't seen him
since he left this island.

Mr. Ioane...
My family

needs space.

So, you go now.

(door lock chimes)

ERNIE:
Heads up.

(grunts)

Little low, Ern.
Think I was Lucy?

Not with that
lumbering gait.
(door closes)

Lucy's got a
cornerback's bearing.

Speed, agility,
quick on the turn.

Well, I actually played
cornerback, so joke's on you.

Joke might be on all of us.

Tennant and Kai got stonewalled
by Ioane's family.

Lucy talked
to his C.O.

Ioane was supposedly
squared away.

Kid shows up
on the island

after being gone for years.

A few days later,
he's tossed off the bleachers.

There's more.

Yeah.

I checked his flight
and credit cards.

Been here a week.

Stayed at a hotel.

Makes sense since
his dad disowned him.

So, what did he do
during the week?

Ah, I don't know what he did,
but I do know where he did it.

I tracked Ben's
rental car GPS.

After he left the hotel,
he went here.

Construction site?

Owned by Max and Inu Koa.
Big in building,

but bigger in racketeering,
extortion and fraud.

You thinking Ben was in bed
with criminals?

Thinking we might
want to check it out.

I'll call Kai
and Lucy.

Heads up.

There's a lot of construction
on the island.

Yet the rent's always sky-high.
Can't find anything decent.

What, you looking
for a place?

Found it.
At least, I think.
Oh.

Whistler's seeing if she can
get me a better deal.

Oh, that's nice.

I guess so.

Says she wants to help,
but there's something more.

Well, you're a
trained investigator,

and you're not sure why
your FBI girlfriend's

helping you look
for apartments.

She's being pretty
cagey about it.

Yeah, like literally
everyone here.

LUCY:
We're making a scene.

Who should we start with?
Go the source.

Koas are going in.

Looking for someone?

Yeah, Koa brothers.
Sorry.

Not here.

We just saw them
go inside.

You're mistaken.

And this is
private property.

We're federal agents.
We don't care.

You need to leave.

Yeah, why is that?

Safety hazard.

You do know what
federal agent means, right?

Law enforcement.

You're not allowed
to threaten us.

No threat. Just leave.

Now.

AJ:
Kai Holman.

Always got to make
an entrance, huh.

AJ.

You two know each other?

Eh. We're hoaloha.

Let's take
a cleansing breath,

yeah?
(inhales, exhales)

They were just leaving.

Who's AJ?

It's just someone
I used to know.

This was a waste
of a trip.

Maybe not.

(engine starts)

Maleko Ioane.

We need to talk.

You thirsty?
No.

Okay.

A sandwich? Some coffee?

Brah, you come
to my house uninvited,

then you drag me
down here from work,

for what?

Offer me a snack?

We just want to talk.

What were you doing
at the Koa brothers' site?

They subcontract
my concrete company.

So what?
Is that a crime?

JESSE:
No.

Lying to a federal agent is.

KAI:
You told us you hadn't
seen Ben, but he came

to your worksite
several times last week.

Must've missed him.

JESSE:
Mr. Ioane.

Why wouldn't you talk
to your son?

KAI:
We're here to solve
your son's murder.

Boy was to play in the Big Ten.

Could've gone pro.

Could've changed the future
of our 'ohana.

But he squandered it.

The day after the
championship game,

he took off,

just like that.
Never say nothing.

I had to find out
from the school

that he signed his life away.

He wanted to serve.

He wanted to run.

JESSE:
Okay.

Run from what?

The Koa brothers?
MALEKO: Brah.

Those are just my bosses.

KAI:
Ben came back home.

He came to your work,
several times.

And then, he got tossed
from the bleachers.

You got to
tell us why.

I don't know.

Maybe he wanted to be a hero.

What does that mean?

Ben wanting to be a hero?

What do the Koa brothers
have on your family?

You got to want justice.

All I want

is to go back

to work.

TENNANT:
It's the Koas.

That's the reason
Maleko's staying quiet.

Just how bad are these guys?
ERNIE: Bad.

As in,
"bury you in cement

and run you over with
a bulldozer" bad.

Not that they've ever been
convicted of murder.

Inu and Max Koa
have only served time

for aggravated assault,
weapons possession,

and extortion.

So, they're thugs.
ERNIE: Big-time.

Attacked a driver
in a road rage incident

and the cop
who came to intervene.

But here's the thing.

In the last few years,

they blossomed.
Turned their

lo-fi blood money operation
into real estate.

So, not just land,
businesses, too.

ERNIE:
Restaurants, nail salons,
a small hotel,

all with Koa names on the LLCs,

not to mention owning a piece
of every contractor

they work with,
including Maleko Ioane.

Hey, we know
that guy, too.

It's just, uh, someone
from the old days.

There more to that?

I'm not sure if it's worth
pursuing just yet.

JESSE:
So Ben was trying

to stop the Koas
from extorting his dad?

ERNIE:
Mm, hard to say.

Tracking the Koas is like

following the branches
of a banyan tree.

So, we skip the branches,

go right to the root.

Lucy, tomorrow, you and me
are gonna meet the Koa brothers.

Uh, they didn't really like it
when Kai and I dropped by.

That's 'cause you didn't
bring a present.

'Cause you didn't
bring a present.

(chuckles)

(sirens wail)

This is the HQ
of a sophisticated

criminal enterprise?

Books, covers,
judgment.

You know what
I'm gonna say.

NCIS, right?

TENNANT:
You have a moment for us?

Come on in.

INU:
Want to apologize for how
our boys was acting earlier.

They get
a little, uh,

protective at work.

Yeah, it's a
safety hazard, so...

they just don't want
anyone to get hurt.

What are you building here?
MAX: It's a rec center

for the community.

Least welcoming rec center
I've ever been to.

INU:
What can we do for you?

Ben Ioane.

(grunts)

It's a tragedy.

Planning to name the rec center
in his honor,

hometown hero.

He visited this building site
three times

in the days before his death.

Benny hasn't been back
since he enlisted,

but he stayed connected
with the community.

Just wanted to see
what we were doing.

That's not what we heard.

Ben basically
cut ties.

That's not our experience.

You close with
the Ioane family?

MAX:
What makes you ask that?

Titus is on your wall here.

INU:
Close with a lot of folks.

Try to support local events.
Clubs, schools, sports.

Yeah, feels good giving back.

That why you own a stake
in all the contractors

who work for you?
Including Maleko Ioane?

Sure.

What else would it be?

Could be that you force them
to work for you

and take advantage of them.

Just like all the businesses
you bought up in the area.

Use them to launder money.

That would be illegal.

It sure would.

Well, thank you for your time.

That's it?

What'd you expect?

I don't know.
Putting the screws to them.

They're never
gonna talk.

Then what was the point?
They didn't even say anything.

No, but they showed us
what we needed.

The photos?
Look,

we know the Koas are extorting
the local community.

Titus had a place of honor

on that wall.

Let's find out how deep
their tendrils go.

DANIEL:
Hey.

Hey.

Thanks for taking
the time, Daniel.

(sighs) More girlfriend
trouble with Alex?

No. Well, yes. But later.

This is about
Titus Ioane.

Ah, heard about
his brother.

So sad.

If you're asking about it, I'm
guessing it wasn't an accident.

No, and

everything seems to be swirling
around the Koa Brothers.

You know them?

Everyone knows them.
They sponsor

a lot of football events,
throw money around.

They like to be close
to the star players.

Like Titus?
And Ben before.

Why?

These kids,
they got nothing.

Can barely afford
decent gear,

let alone the camps
and the offseason trainings.

If a kid
shows promise,

people step in,
help out.

Out of the kindness
of their hearts?

What do
you think?

I don't know what to think.
All I know is

you coached Titus
at summer QB camp,

and I am having a really
hard time connecting with him.

I can reach out.

I might take you
up on that.

Thanks, Daniel.

KAI:
No blemishes. It looks good.

It sounds fine.

Been gone from the restaurant
too long. Lost your edge.

Yeah, you've been there
for, like, a year, so

you're not the
kalo whisperer.

(gasps)
I have a gift.

Don't hate, and

don't tell me
you come all this way

to listen
to vegetables.

I, uh, I ran
into AJ Hale.

You remember him?

Wish I could forget.

Half of high school
was listening

to Leila talk
about his eyes.

Wahine love
a bad boy.

Yeah, I don't remember that
being his reputation.

That's 'cause
yours was worse.

Ah.
(chuckles)

What else do you
know about him?

(sighs) He's not center field
for the Yankees.

That much I know.

I think he's working
construction.

Yeah. I may have
heard that.

May have? Come on, Hina.

Oh, I know.

Here's what's up,

why don't you
ask him yourself?

I haven't talked to him
in years. I...

Look, I don't really
want to open up

that part of my life again.

Stop being dramatic.

You were like
best friends.

I'm sure you can
figure it out. (chuckles)

Just thinking of your reaction
when I came back to town.

AJ don't have
my right hook.

You'll be fine.

(sighs)

Have a sec?

Just trying to figure out
how a bakery, a tackle store,

and a tour company are all
being used for racketeering.

I might have some ideas.

All in the right area,
similar price range,

utilities included.

And now I know we're not
talking about the Koa brothers.

No. Your living arrangements.

Right.
'Cause you're moving.

Mm-hmm.
I'm not done.

I expanded
the radius, too,

considered you-you really like
the washer-dryer at my place,

and the balcony,
and the location,

of course. You know,
just a few minutes

from work.
I could just move in with you.

Kidding. I did not
want to force...

Actually, I...

I kind of thought the same.

Well, you already spend
most nights at my place.

I know.

And that's not gonna
change any time soon.

No.
So, who are we fooling?

Right?
It's the financially
responsible thing to do.

It is the what now?

It's...

it's the rational decision.

Right.

And we should do this
because it's...

rational.

Hey, Luce.
Got to see Ern...

...by myself.

Uh... I should go back to...

Yeah. Lots to think about.

(door lock chimes)

ERNIE:
Heads up.

Oh. Think I was Kai?

I stand by
my gait comment.

I-I'm just not hip
to the spiral yet.

My sport was water polo.

Hey, did you find
any connection between

the Koas
and local football?

Ah. See for yourself.

I combed the Koas'
sponsorship records.

They take an active
interest in athletes,

couple dozen over
the last few years,

including this guy.

Who's he?

Ricky Sio,
star defensive tackle,

All-Hawaii two years running,

and was NFL-bound until
a knee injury derailed him.

Served three years
for ag assault in Cali.

Came back home
a few years ago.

Paystubs all from the Koa
brothers construction projects.

Sad story.

How is he connected
to Ben Ioane?

They were rivals in high school.
Played against each other.

That's a long-shot motive
for murder.

Hey, motive is
for investigators.

I follow the facts.

The fact is,
Ricky Sio

was one row behind Ben
at the championship game.

So, we better
go pay him a visit.

I don't get it, Luce.

You want to stay
at Whistler's?

Yeah, it's awesome.

And she wants you
to stay there?

That's what
she said.

So, what's
the problem?

She said it was
a practical solution

from a financial perspective.

And you wanted her to say
that it was for love?

And you just made it weird.

(music playing faintly)
Over there.

(Jesse clears throat)

Hey, Ricky Sio.

We got some questions for you,
if you don't mind.

(yells)

(grunting)

Luce!

Okay, we'll do it your way.

(grunting)

Sio!

(grunts)
(screams)

Ricky Sio.

I heard about you growing up.

You were a big star.

God blessed you,
everyone said.

Football warrior.

Man, you were gonna
be famous, go pro.

Hawai'i's top prospect.

I was good.

Meh.

People hype up
football players so much.

Everyone's the next Polamalu.

(scoffs) Brah,

I was a beast.

KAI:
He was.

But not better than Ben Ioane.

I sacked Ben's ass three times
at the championship game.

I owned him.

Is that what the two of y'all
were talking about at

Titus's game? You owning him?

That's ancient history.

But you did talk.

LUCY:
Explain what's happening here.

Nothing.

Well, nothing
isn't why Ben's dead.

And it's not why you attacked
two federal agents.

(sighs)

All I ever wanted
was to play football.

Then one tackle,

knee bends the wrong way,

everything disappears,

just like that.
KAI: And then there's Ben.

He gave it up by choice.

Turns his back
on a future.

On tradition.

That makes you throw a guy
over the bleachers?

Yeah.

Yeah, you admit
to killing Ben Ioane?

Sunday. At the
Aloha Championship.

It's the Koa brothers, right?
They put you up to it.

(scoffs) No.

Just me. I did it alone.

Why?

Why would you kill
Ben Ioane?

It's not about tradition.

Why not?

(music playing faintly)

AJ, brought refreshments.

Boom kanani!

Here comes my ghost man
with the green bottles.

Hey, Jordan. Thanks, eh.

Kai Hoe-man. (chuckles)

(sighs)
I don't miss
that nickname.

Hanabaddah days we used to get
into a lot of mischief, yeah?

Yeah, a long time ago.

(chuckles)
Yeah. You know,
I heard you was back in town.

Didn't believe
till the other day.

Yeah. Hey,
about that...

Hey, you want to meet
the family?

My wife and daughter
barely believe

you exist.
I do, I do, I...

I was just
hoping to talk.

Oh, that's your
serious face.

Kind of like when you
used to take the mound.

Yeah, it's important.

'Cause you're
a Navy cop now.

Yeah, that's right.

And you're working
for the Koa brothers.

In construction,
not the other stuff.

You're plenty akamai, AJ.

You know that other stuff
is everywhere.

Checks clear,
I-I pay my taxes.

Besides, I saved
your butt yesterday,

so you're welcome.

No joke, AJ,
Koas are responsible

for Ben Ioane's death.
Not how I heard it.

People say you got
Ricky Sio in cuffs.

People say
a lot of things.

What happened to you?

You know, I could ask you
the same question.

You were supposed to be
wearing those pinstripes.

Got in trouble.

Stupid stuff.

Lost my scholarship.
Had to find a job.

Yeah, but the Koas?

Honest work.

Building something
for the community, giving back.

They're extorting
the community,

and they had Ricky Sio

murder Ben Ioane.
(stammers)

MAN:
AJ, we made it, bruddah.

Howzit?

You know it's risky for me
to even be seen with you, right?

Ben's family is tied with
the Koas, and we don't know why.

But it cost Ben
his life.

You need to help.
Okay.

Okay, I-I hear you.

Look, I want to help,
I do, I just...

(phone buzzing)
Let me think about it.

The Koas have eyes everywhere.

If they even hear anyone's
talking about it...

May already
be too late.

Hey. Did the Koas do this?

Tama...
Hey, kid.

Don't you dare
say a word.

But Tama.
Shh.

I need you
to talk to me, okay?

They did this to you.

No, they didn't do it.
You did it.

You, Ben,

everybody who couldn't keep
their nose out of my business.

You've ruined
my family.

(siren wailing)

I'm sorry.
Let's go.

The Koas kill his son,
destroy his business,

and Maleko still won't talk?

The Koas' hold is too strong.

LUCY:
But why?

Maleko's a cement mason,
Ben was a sailor, not criminals.

Ah, we're missing something.

AJ give you any insight at all?

No, he's afraid to.

He says he has to
think about it,

but Titus,
Titus wanted to talk.

He just won't say a word
in front of his dad.

Think I can help.

Hey. Yeah, it's me.

Look, I think
it's time to talk to him.

Step into it.

Nice. Hut.

Strong, strong, strong, strong.

Hey, take a knee. We'll, uh,
pick the drills up later.

You got it, Coach.

DANIEL:
Hey, Jane.

How's he doing?

He wants to talk,
but he's scared.

Koas have that effect
on people.

It's not the Koas.
It's his dad.

He doesn't want
to betray the family.

Silence cost his family
too much already.

Well, I'm not the one
you need to convince.

How're the drills?

Good.

Football's what
comes natural,

I guess.
Helps to have
something else to focus on.

Coach Tennant says
being a quarterback

isn't about having
a strong arm,

but a strong mind.

"To be a leader, you got
to make hard choices."

Daniel says that, too.

(chuckles)

Being a leader
isn't easy,

but you got to try
to do the right thing,

even if your dad
doesn't want you to.

My tama wants
to protect me.

But being silent
got Ben killed.

What did the Koas want
with your brother?

Nothing.

They want me.

Junior high,
they saw me play,

offered to help
with training, equipment.

My dad was out of work,
so they bought him a truck.

They gave him a job.

But nothing's free.

They say I'm gonna be
a-a big star.

Make millions,
do endorsements.

And they get a piece
of it all.

Felt wrong to me.

But my dad, he-he wouldn't
even talk about it.

So, I called Ben.

He understood 'cause
he's been through it, too.

He said he would fix it.

And they killed him.

My tama might be scared,

but not me.

You need me to talk,
I'll talk.

I will do whatever it takes
to stop the Koas.

You've done enough.

Let me take it
from here.

TENNANT:
Thanks for coming, AJ.

Didn't really feel
like a choice.

You said you
wanted to help.

I said I wanted
to think about it.

Ioanes don't have time
for any more thinking.

Look, I-I feel for their family,
but I got a family, too.

TENNANT:
That's how the Koas
stay in power.

They make sure
everyone's afraid.

AJ:
I already told my boy.

I don't know nothing
about the Koas' business.

You're not here
about their business.

It's about athletes.

Titus in particular.

Little Tua?

TENNANT:
They own a piece of him.

He wanted out.

Ben tried to help.

And if they're doing it
to Titus,

they're doing it
to other kids, too.

Plenty of boosters
on the island.

You know this is different.
And if I help?

What happens to me?

We protect you.

Easy to say inside this base,

but I live out there.

AJ, how did we
get by as kids?

We looked out
for each other, right?

If one of us was in trouble,
then it was everyone's problem.

Until one of us left.

Right now,

you're Titus's best chance
to save his family.

(sighs)

Might be too late.

They shut down the worksite
today. Sent everyone home early.

Why did they do that?

(sighs) 'Cause they're ready to
send a final message to Maleko.

(grunting)

Maleko.

We keep having
problems with you.

I promise you,
I never say nothing.

I didn't say nothing.
No, no, no, not you. Your boy.

(sighs)

Talked to the Feds.

You're gonna
get him back.

I can't.

That's not a request.

Gonna want to put the guns down.

MAX:
It's not your problem,
Special Agent Tennant.

Just leave.
Happy to.

Maleko comes with me.

We can't do that.

It's not a request.

How you gonna make us
do that alone?

I'm not alone.

This is a terrible plan.

Can't just let them
take Maleko inside.

Or shoot our boss.

TENNANT:
There's nowhere to go.

It's over.

(gunshot)
(grunts)

(gunfire)
(grunts)

(gunfire)

Let's go.

Put your gun down!

Hands in the air!

You okay?

Yeah. Koas?

They went inside the site.
Get Maleko to safety.

(footsteps upstairs)

I'll flank.
Okay.

(gunshots)

(panting)

(both grunting)

You guys good?
JESSE: Yeah.

Once a cornerback,
always a cornerback.

What you got there,
Ernie?

The financials for the
Koa brothers' businesses.

The money's actually going
into a mystery account.

Someone else
is getting rich.

Don't know if you heard,
but we just took the Koas down.

Tennant and Jesse
are escorting them to CRD.

Okay, but I'm not sure
we can make

a racketeering case
based off this.

So, I guess it's good
they tried to kill you.

Uh, what you mean is you're glad
we're safe and sound.

Yeah, that,
but these records.

LUCY:
Max and Inu Koa
will be spending

life in prison, the Ioanes will
get some of their life back,

and I got real estate
decisions to make.

So, if the Koas weren't
getting the money, who was?

Not sure.

Someone really clever.

And this name keeps
coming up on the paperwork.

AJ Hale.

You know him, right?

Yeah, I do.

Hey.

I heard today went well.

Maleko's okay.

How'd you hear that?

Everybody talks, yeah?

Glad I was able to help.

You were right... (sighs)
couldn't just keep quiet.

Yeah, sure.

Let me get you a beer.

Hey, so how long you been doing,
uh, financial work for the Koas?

(chuckles) I wouldn't exactly

call it financial work. Um...

I've done some bookkeeping.
Took a class online.

So, what happens now
with the businesses?

Company's still going.

Lot of people still working
'cause of it.

Gonna try to
keep it running.

You as the boss, huh?

Don't know, brother.
I haven't

really thought about it.

Hey, what gives?
Ah...

The Koas were
small-time criminals,

and then suddenly they're
making shell corporations,

extorting high school
athletes.

How did they
figure that out?

'Cause I was just
thinking about everyone

involved
at the operation,

and who
came out ahead.

Say what you
want to say.

(scoffs)

Only that you've always been the
smartest one in any group, AJ.

(chuckling)

You bust me up, man.

Yeah, I've been away so long.

Still think
I got motives.

Look, I'll tell it
to you straight.

The Koas have been running scams

all their lives.

You want to know how?
Got to ask them.

I plan to.

As long as the Koas are around,
they're kings.

Is that all
you got to say?

Other than
stick around?

Gonna be a big time
tonight on the beach.

Nah, I got places to be.

(knock on door)

There you are.
I don't want it
to be about finances.

Sorry?

Or being practical
or-or prudent or smart.

Trying to catch up here.
We can't move in

just because it's rational
and responsible.

You want it to be irrational
and irresponsible?

I want it to be
because you want me.

Because you can't bear
the idea of me subletting

a condo three blocks away
when I can be here.

I do want you here, Lucy.
Really?

So much.

Then what was with all the comps

and the graphs
and the color coding?

I didn't want you to feel
pressured 'cause you didn't even

tell me about it
in the first place.

I didn't tell you
'cause I didn't want you

to feel pressured.
Okay, great, so...

why are we fighting?
We're not.

Okay, so...

you're moving in?

You can't stop me.
(both laugh)

I mean, it is the financially
responsible decision.

Oh, my gosh, hush now.
(laughs)

Is that, is that all you own?

I travel light.

KAI:
I'm just saying, he's not
the same AJ I remember.

I don't know why
you're surprised.

AJ always had
that side to him.

Remember when he stole
that beer for Leila's party?

She stole the beer.
He covered for her.

No. He set it up.

Told Leila to go in

'cause there'd be less trouble
if she was caught.

Either way, it's...
there's a big difference

stealing a case of beer and
running a criminal conspiracy.

Got to start
somewhere.

He changed, Hina.

We all do.

I want to thank you
for all your help on this.

You solved the case. All I did
was toss a ball around.

Ah, it was a little
more than that.

And this... this was
a great idea, too.

I can't take credit
for that either.

This was all Titus.

Okay, I'm not used to
all this modesty

coming from you, Daniel.
(chuckles)

TITUS:
Thank you all for coming.

I truly appreciate you
supporting my family

in these hard times.

Before we begin
the trophy presentation,

we wanted
to do something.

This Sivu Tau

is in honor of my brother
Ben Ioane.

(sighs)
Navy sailor,

former starting quarterback
at Kawela,

and proud Samoan.

(Maleko speaks Samoan)

(sighs)

We do this together, son.

For our family

and for Ben.

(shouts in Samoan)
(others yell)

(repeating phrase)
(others responding)

(speaking Samoan)

(players grunt in unison)

(speaks Samoan)
(others respond)

(repeating phrase)
(others responding)

(shouts phrase in Samoan)

(others respond)

(repeats phrase in Samoan)

(others respond)

(players shouting)

(shouting in Samoan)

(all continue in Samoan)

(all shout, cheer)

(crowd cheering)
