(SHOUTING IN VIETNAMESE)

(SOLDIERS SHOUTING
IN vIETNAmEsE)

Third time in a month.

Could mean
we're being tracked.

Somebody knows
we're here.

How can you say that?
Nobody knows we're here.

Why don't
you just give up?

l made a promise.

Oh, no.

Wait!
Where you going?

Where you...

You're crazy.

(SHOUTING IN VIETNAMESE)

(GROANING)

MAGNUM: Dear Líly Catheríne.

Well, it's another
beautíful day ín Paradíse.

l woke up this morning

and thought about
takíng you up to the top of the Koolaus,

where you can see
the ocean everywhere you look.

l wonder íf you can
see the ocean from where you are now.

l wonder where you are now.

And l guess
íf you could read thís,

you would wonder
why l've taken to wrítíng you letters.

Letters l have no ídea
where to send

sínce the Navy gave
you and your mother new names and a new lífe.

l don't really know
why myself,

except wrítíng them
somehow makes me feel a líttle closer to you.

Somehow l know
l wíll see you agaín.

l hope you and your mama
are well and happy.

l thínk of you every day.

Ah, there you are, Magnum.

Higgins.

What are you... No.

Don't bother.
l don't even want to know.

l see you've forgotten
your appointment

with your barrister,
Mr. Rankin.

My barrister?

No, l haven't forgotten
my appointment with my lawyer.

l was simply making out
my grocery list while l waited.

Your grocery list?

That's right.
l see.

Well, you're in luck, Magnum.

As it happens,
l'm on my way to market.

Oh, you're doing
the marketing now?

Yes. And l'll be
happy to collect whatever items you need.

Well, that's great!

But l haven't quite finished
with it, yet. So, thanks anyway.

Magnum, why do you have
this constant,

adolescent need
for subterfuge?

What do you mean?

lt's quite apparent

that you've forgotten
your appointment with Mr. Rankin.

lt's equally apparent
that you weren't working on your grocery list.

Yet, rather than
simply owning up to it,

you steadfastly insist on
something that is clearly an outright lie.

That's not true.

When you're caught,
you become even more adamant,

as if,
through your insistence,

you can make truth
of the lie.

l do not!
Then show me the list.

Higgins, you are absolutely
and unequivocally wrong about this.

One list is
worth a thousand words.

All right, Higgins.

You want to see
what l'm working on?

lt's really
that important for you to be proven right?

''Frozen pizza,
potato chips,

''Old Düsseldorf
in a long neck, popcorn.''

This is a grocery list.

And l really appreciate
your offering to pick those things up.

''Toaster waffles,
Fig Newtons...''

Magnum, there are
two pages of items here.

Well, l'd love to
stay and chat with you, Higgins.

But l'm late
for my appointment with my barrister.

(SNICKERING)

''Cheerios, Kix, Raisinets,

''Jujyfruits...''

MAGNUM: Sorry l'm late.
l just kinda Iost track of time.

No problem.
l see you've been going over a few memories here.

Seems like
you're always going to trial with the Ki brothers.

Can l get you
something to drink?

Yeah, what've you got?

Grapefruit juice,
grapefruit juice and grapefruit juice.

That's all right,
l'll pass.

l meant to get to
the store today, but...

l think
l've found something,

but l'm not sure
exactly what it is.

The men Quang Ki hired
to kill you in the warehouse...

Well, eyewitnesses
have come forward saying

they saw two of them
pursuing a woman up the Old Pali Road.

Yeah, you told me that
on the phone.

But what l didn't tell you
was that they got the license plate of the car.

lt was an Audi
registered to Robin Masters.

Nobody seems to
be able to explain that.

So l did a little research,
and discovered that

there was a woman involved
in the Colonel Ki shooting as well.

What's your point, Rankin?

Well, if there is a woman
somewhere who can testify...

There isn't.

You know, we don't have
a hell of a lot to go on.

l need everything l can get.

lf...

lf there was a woman
driving up the Old Pali,

she had nothing
to do with this.

Quang Ki tried to kill me
because l killed his brother.

lt's that simple.

Revenge?

You think
the jury's gonna believe

that he went through
all this trouble for revenge?

You ever been to
Southeast Asia?

Revenge is part of
their way of life.

lt's tied to honor
and dignity.

Quang Ki tried to kill me
for revenge, that's all.

But that's your word
against his.

And T.C# s.

Well, all T.C. can say
is that he saw you standing over Ki

with a two by four,
ready to brain him.

But if there's someone else
who can testify that he had a motive...

There's nothing else
l can tell you.

Dammit!

Will you help me?

l wanna put this guy away.

You know, l could ask you
these questions on the stand tomorrow, under oath.

l gotta go.

l'm late for a meeting
in Judge Haruda's chambers.

Okay, we'll go with
your testimony

and hope to God
it's enough to get a conviction.

Because l wanna put this man
behind bars for a long, long time.

So do l.

RANKIN: ...at which time
we will prove that the defendant

hired three known
contract killers to murder Thomas Magnum.

The defendant,
with malice and forethought,

plotted against his victim
as he lay dying in a hospital room

and then lured him back
to the same warehouse

where he attempted
to kill him with an automatic weapon.

All of this was calculated
and carried out

for no other reason
than vengeance.

Although Thomas Magnum
was acquitted

in the self-defense shooting
of Van Luan Ki

Quang Ki would not rest
until he saw his brother's death avenged.

And so,
we will prove motive,

weapon, location,

and then,
Iadies and gentlemen of the jury,

the intended victim's
own testimony will tell you in vivid detail

how close Quang Ki came
to fulfilling his goal.

Having heard that testimony,

l have no doubt
that you will return a verdict

of guilty.

Thank you.

Very well.
Is the state ready with its first witness?

Yes, we are, Your Honor.

DEFENSE ATTORNEY:
May it please the court.

Yes, Counselor?

Your Honor, the defense
moves to dismiss the indictment

on the grounds
that the case as outlined

provides insufficient evidence
to cover all elements of the offense.

(WHISPERING)
What is this?

A standard motion.
It'll be denied.

The court can find
no substantial evidence,

beyond circumstantial,

submitted by the prosecution
to support their case.

Therefore l have
no alternative

but to grant
the defense motion.

Case dismissed.

(ALL CLAMORING)

What the hell's
going on?

l don't know.

How could he dismiss
the case like that?

l don't know!

(MEN CHATTERING IN VIETNAMESE)

DBO 256.
The license number.

Thomas, what's this
all about?

l've never seen
such a travesty.

T.C. has
the license number. Could you...

Consider it done.

Thanks.
l'll check with you later.

Rankin!

Some surprise, huh?

Was it?

l mean, it's customary
for the defense

to make a summary move
for dismissal,

but it's a token,
nobody expects it to happen.

Then why did it?

l don't know.
l'm not a mind reader.

You wanna know why
Judge Haruda dismissed the case, ask him.

l'm asking you!

Did you know
about this yesterday?

Of course not.
Don't be ridiculous.

Why did you even
come to the house?

You wouldn't help me!
l told you l didn't have a strong enough case.

Don't give me that, Rankin.

Something else happened.
Magnum...

Why else would you pull
a disappearing act?

l was caught
with my pants down.

That's not something
l'd like to share with the press.

Now if you don't mind,
l'd like to get out of here

so l can figure out
what l'm gonna say to them when they catch up to me.

Go home, Magnum.
It's over.

No, it's not.

MAGGIE:
That's ridiculous, Thomas.

lf anything like that
was going on,

l would have heard something,
and l haven't. Not a thing.

Doesn't that
strike you as odd?

Don't you think there
would've been some rumblings about Quang Ki?

Unless somebody
was trying to keep it real quiet.

Thomas, you see ghosts
where there aren't even shadows.

Thank you,
Colonel...

Commander Poole,
will you escort Miss Rockwell to the front desk?

Yes, sir.

You know, your style
Ieaves a lot to be desired.

What brings you
barging into my office this time?

A mutual friend.

Someone who
l haven't seen in awhile.

At least not
when she could see me.

But l think you have.

l'm sure you know
who l'm talking about.

lt's a beautiful woman
with dangerous information about her country.

Someone
you helped relocate,

trying to convince
her Vietnamese enemies she was dead.

What's your point, Magnum?

Where's Michelle?

You know
l can't tell you that. For her own good.

Yeah,
l bought that too, Buck.

Till you let
Quang Ki loose.

What are you talking about?

Quang Ki's in jail.
On trial for your attempted murder.

You're good, Buck.
You're very good.

You have this amazing
talent for lying,

and it's something
that can't be taught.

You either have it
or you don't.

But, see, l have

this built-in lie detector
that sees right through you.

Now, you know as well as l do
that case was dismissed.

l wanna know where Michelle is
before Quang Ki finds her.

You know, this is
getting very old.

Every time you conjure up
some cockamamie story about Michelle,

yOU COMe
charging into my office

to accuse me
of some wrongdoing.

Your ex-wife has a new life,
a new identity.

She even chose
a new marriage.

She's safe.
We've seen to that.

Safe? With Quang Ki
on the loose?

He's already tried
to kill her once.

As a matter of fact,
l even took extra precautions when Quang Ki came to trial,

just to make sure
nobody could possibly trace her.

lf anything happens
to Michelle or Lily...

What are you gonna do?

Kill me?

Get any answers?

No. But l think
l got him moving. Maggie,

l have a favor
to ask you. It's a big one.

And it could get you
into a lot of trouble,

so don't say anything
till you hear me out.

MAN: (SINGING)
And íf that cart and bull turn over

Daddy's gonna get you
a dog named Rover

And íf that dog named Rover
fall down

You'll stíll be
the cutest líttle baby...

(SHOUTING IN VIETNAMESE)

(SINGING)
And íf that dog named Rover fall down

(SOLDIER SHOUTING
IN vIETNAmEsE)

You'll stíll be
the sweetest líttle baby...

Hush líttle baby...

MAGNUM: l wísh l could
tell you the world ís a safe and lovíng place.

That the boogeyman
ís only a fígment of your ímagínatíon

and that l could protect you
from anythíng bad that comes your way.

l wísh l could tell you
that nobody could ever hurt you,

but that wouldn't
be the truth.

(DOOR OPENING)

Magnum, l hope
l'm not disturbing you.

No.

Any news on Quang Ki?

No.

lt's been nearly...

Forty-three hours.

Quite.

lt's infuriating,
isn't it?

How life goes relentlessly on
even in times like these.

The mail just arrived.

The usual assortment
of bills, occupant only,

and this,

some educational material.
It came by messenger.

Thanks, Higgins.

lf there's anything
l can do to help...

l'll let you know.

l know you
and Colonel Greene don't exactly see eye to eye,

but l'm sure even
you would agree that he is a consummate professional.

What l mean to say is,

l'm quite certain
he's done everything in his power

to keep Michelle
and Lily safe.

(DOOR CLOSING)

So, Magnum,

you probably
weren't expectíng to hear from me.

l'm makíng
thís líttle tape for you from jaíl.

But of course,
l won't be here when you get ít.

l wísh l could
watch ít wíth you.

l thínk you're goíng
to be very surprísed.

Unfortunately,
l can't rísk that,

even though
l would love to see your expressíon.

My fríends do excellent work,
don't you thínk?

(SPEAKING fRENCH)

(MICHELLE RESPONDS IN fRENCH)

Come on, Líly.

MICHELLE: l should
pack some thíngs for my husband.

He's brought everythíng
he needs from the offíce. We have no tíme.

(LILY SPEAKING fRENCH)

Edward, l'm so sorry
about all thís.

lt's okay, Míchelle.

(LILY SPEAKING fRENCH)

MICHELLE: No, Líly.
There's no tíme. Líly.

Líly!

(fEEDBACK ON TV)

(VCR STOPS)

(TAPE REWINDING)

(SPEAKING fRENCH)

(MICHELLE RESPONDS IN fRENCH)

Come on, Líly.

MICHELLE: l should
pack some thíngs for my husband.

He's brought everythíng
he needs from the offíce. We have no tíme.

(STOPS TAPE)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(PANTING)

MAGNUM: Dear Líly Catheríne,

l guess
l've never really told you all the thíngs

l wanted to do wíth you.

Places l've thought about
showíng you,

books l've thought about
gívíng you to read,

the Chrístmas morníngs
l've thought we would share,

your graduatíon
from hígh school.

l guess even the arguments
we would have

íf you were stíll here,
close to me.

l've just líved
on blínd faíth

that we would do
all those thíngs somehow.

Thomas!

Thomas!

So you know.

Thomas, l don't know
how it could have happened.

We were...

We were moving

Michelle and Lily.
They...

Buck was doing
everything in his power to make sure they were safe.

We still don't know for sure
how Quang Ki's men found out.

l should have killed him
when l had the chance.

l know
it's no consolation, Thomas,

but Buck is devastated
by what's happened.

Why was Quang Ki released?

l don't know, yet.

There's something
very big going down,

but they're keeping it
very quiet.

l haven't been able
to get anything.

l haven't been able
to find out anything

on Judge Haruda
or Rankin.

What else?

That girl that you saw
in Buck's office is Annie Rockwell.

She's a student,
a graduate student of Sociology and Criminology.

She's iust a friend
of the family.

Buck Greene doesn't have
any friends.

(INAUDIBLE)

(INAUDIBLE)

(INAUDIBLE)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(LIGHTNING CRASHING)

(RINGING)

Hello?

Thomas!

What time is it?

l've been trying
to call you all night. Where have you been?

Shopping. What've you got?

Come on, Maggie.

l'm going to tell you this

because l know
you'll understand when l do,

why you have to
stay out of the whole thing. Okay?

l'm listening.

They're exchanging Ki for
an American POW. An MIA.

Do you realíze
what the ímplícatíons of thís are, Thomas?

lf there's one living POW,
there've got to be others.

Some of those guys
have been over there for 20 years.

Longer for some of them.

This is an incredible
breakthrough, Thomas.

l mean, íf we can get
thís one man out,

maybe he can gíve us
ínformatíon about the others.

And that's why l know
you'll understand why l can't tell you

where the exchange
ís gonna take place.

Who knows, Thomas,
maybe we can...

Maybe we can
get them all home somehow.

We've got to
stay out of thís.

l know you'll understand.

MAGNUM :
l've been thínkíng about the fírst tíme l saw you.

And how much you changed
between fíve years old and síx years old.

And l've been wonderíng
what you looked líke on your seventh bírthday.

lt's funny,
l can't quíte see you.

l wísh your mom could have
sent me a pícture.

But l have píctures of you
ín my head,

píctures of thíngs
we haven't done together.

lce skatíng
at Rockefeller Center,

snorkelíng at Hanauma Bay,

cheeríng and screamíng
at Tíger Stadíum,

and those píctures
are as clear to me as íf they actually happened.

GREENE: (OVER PHONE)
You what?

How could you let
something like this happen?

Those papers
were supposed to be destroyed before we left.

Yes, sir. l know, sir.

Who the hell
got ín the fíles?

l don't know, sir.

Find out. And you'd better
start praying, Lieutenant.

Your bars
are riding on this one.

Yes, sír.

Magnum.

He's here.

(DOOR CLOSING)

GREENE: It's possíble
he's penetrated the compound.

l want him found.
Yes, sir!

Nothing is going to go wrong
with the exchange today.

ls that understood?

Yes, sir!

(SLAMMING DRAWERS)

(BOTH SPEAKING FRENCH)

Miss Rockwell?

Yes?

l'm Commander Magnum,
l'm going to be your escort.

But l already met
a young man, a Lieutenant Broski.

He's indisposed.

Dysentery.

Oh, no.

Have we met?

Yes.
In Colonel Greene's office.

ln Hawaii. Of course.

l'm a bit at a disadvantage,
taking over for Broski on short notice.

Could you brief me
on what he told you?

Okay.

At 1600 hours
we assemble on the airstrip

at the east side
of the tarmac.

At 1610 the helicopter
transport from Nouvelle Anjou will set down.

(SOBBING) They will disembark
and assemble on the west side of the tarmac.

Commander Rockwell...

Commander...

l'm sorry.

lt's iust sometimes
l can't believe

in an hour l'm actually
gonna see my father.

l always knew
he was alive

because he promised me
he'd come back.

l was five years old
when he left.

He gave me this.

lt's just glass,
but he called it a diamond ring

because of a song
he used to sing to me.

And he said when he came back,
he'd get me a real one.

And l knew, if my daddy said
he was coming back, then he was.

And l never gave up hope,
not in 20 years.

You'll probably think
this is silly,

but l wrote him
all these letters.

Every birthday,
at Christmas,

when l graduated,

when my mother died.

lt was my way
of staying close to him.

This is the last picture
we took before he was captured.

And now, he's almost here.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Yes?

J
Lieutenant Broski Miss Rockwell.

There's our Lieutenant.
l bet he's a little wobbly-legged.

Just checking in
on you, ma'am. See if you need anything.

Well, Lieutenant,
didn't anybody tell you not to drink the water?

Beg pardon?

Oh, l heard all about it.

Listen up, Corporal,
this is important.

l don't wanna sound
a big alarm, make the Vietnamese nervous,

but he's here somewhere.

Either in the compound
or up in the hills.

Find him, quietly.

Aye, aye, sir!

And when you do, shoot him.

(OFFICER SHOUTING COMMANDS)

Let me make this
perfectly clear.

l ever catch you setting
so much as your little toe in my country again,

and l'm gonna personally
rip your heart out through your throat.

You got that?

Colonel,
we need to talk.

Excuse me.
Gentlemen.

We've combed the area, sir.
There's no sign of him.

(INAUDIBLE)

MAGNUM :
And so, Líly Catheríne,

even though l know
you wíll never read thís,

l needed to wríte you
to tell you

l once díd somethíng
that l thínk would have made you proud.

ANNOUNCER ON TV:
And now, you see the Presídent

greetíng Captaín Rockwell
and hís daughter.

(MARCHING BAND PLAYING)

The Admínístratíon
has offered no real explanatíon

as to what kínd of deal
was struck to gaín the release of Rockwell

who has been lísted
míssíng ín actíon for 18 years.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
But thís can only be seen as the most posítíve step

ín reclaímíng any more
US mílítary personnel

that may stíll be alíve

The Víetnamese government
has saíd there are no líve POWs ín Víetnam,

but they have not saíd
