All language subtitles for 07.10 Missing Melody

I though you said
she was in the bathroom.

She was...
No, she's not in there!

It's
a kidnapping.

I never should have let them
come here!

We'll find her.

You couldn't
knock me out of the air,

so is that when you decided
to kidnap my little girl?

People take children
for all kinds of reasons.

Not all of them
are money.

We're losing
the signal.

They're trying
to draw you away.

Then we're gonna go in your dad's
helicopter and fly you all over... Hi.

Fly you all over, and then
we're gonna go have a luau.

What is a luau?

Oh, it's a picnic at night, and
they roast a pig. It's great.

Ooh, those little pigs
with curly tails?

Lt'll be great. You'll love it.
You'll see the Hawaiian dancers...

Oops! Excuse us.

Not big enough? You can
read it from a mile away!

Hey, they're
gonna love it.

You know, there's no place for
a banner like this at my place.

I mean, this is a much
better place to have a party.

There's more room
for the kids to play.

Come on.

Where's my dad?

He'll be here soon. You know,
our plane was a little early.

Oh.

I have to use
the bathroom!

Oh. Okay, here. Why don't you go on in there?

Bryant, you stay
with her,

and I'll get the luggage, okay? Okay.

The barbecue alone would
take up half my balcony.

Wait until they see the tidal
pool. They are going to love it!

Robin's Nest is the perfect place for kids.

I mean, it was like
it was built for 'em.

Well, maybe not on the inside, but out here
on the grounds where nothing can get broken?

I mean, it's just
absolutely perfect!

You don't have
to convince me.

I always thought it was a good
idea to have the party here.

Oh.

I guess I was just practicing
my speech for Higgins.

Come on, Rick!
What's going on?

They got me on hold.

That's what you said
five minutes ago.

Yes! Flight 460!

Relax. Look, their plane's
not due for another hour.

It's already
on the ground?

What?

Tail wind.

Leis... Leis... Where are the
leis? Front seat, where you put 'em.

Can't believe
I'm gonna be late.

They're with your friend
Donna! They'll be fine!

Bryant, where's Melody?

She's still in the bathroom.
She's still in the bath...

Hold this.
Let me go get her.

Melody?

Melody?

Your attention, please.

For those destined to
downtown Honolulu and Waikiki,

the Wiki-Wiki bus will depart from
the South Terminal exit in ten minutes.

I don't know
what happened.

I went to get the luggage
while she waited.

I came back,
and she wasn't there.

We have a little lost
girl. Black, 10 years old,

approximately 47 inches tall,

wearing a gray dress and a
yellow ribbon in her hair.

I could have
let the luggage wait.

Did you happen to notice anyone
on the plane or in the terminal

who seemed overly
interested in Melody?

No, I didn't notice
anybody like that.

It got busy, and I...

I couldn't keep an eye
on them.

I mean, I had to...

I had to serve the in-flight
meal. I was working.

Nobody
bothered us.

Well, I'll put out
the report.

If you happen to remember
anything else,

however insignificant...

I'll have a car
take you home.

I can't just sit at home
and wait.

Call the airline. Tell them
you'll make the turnaround.

No, I can't!
Yes, you can.

It'll take your mind off
of all this. Keep busy.

We'll find her.
I promise.

I'm calling you
the minute I get to LAX.

John,
bring the car around

to take Miss Phillips
to the airport.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Would you like a soda pop or something?

There's a machine in the
lunchroom. No, thanks.

Bryant, I think Agent Estin wants
you to... I want to stay here.

She's my kid sister.

You already have men out
looking for her, right?

There are people
on the case.

Well, what can we do
that we're not doing?

To be perfectly honest
with you,

the best thing we can do right now is wait.

Oh, no.
That's not good enough.

The best thing that can happen
right now is a ransom note.

I don't want
to alarm you,

but I think you should be
prepared for the realities.

People take children
for all kinds of reasons.

Not all of them
are money.

There is one other possibility
we have to consider.

Problems at home.

Maybe Melody'd been misbehaving
lately, and was punished.

No, no, no, no.

You're trying to say that she ran
away from home, and that's not it.

So the best thing
you can do

is sit at home
and wait for the call.

Here's my number, in case you hear anything.

I'll be in touch with you
if anything turns up.

Oh.

I just thought
I'd seen you somewhere before.

I have that kind of face. I remind
everybody of someone they once knew.

We'll do everything
we can.

When I was six years old,

I was convinced that monsters
lived under my bed,

just waiting for nighttime
to come out and grab me.

I laid awake all night for weeks,
on guard against my own fear,

until my dad told me to call the
monsters out and see if they came.

They never did.

Unfortunately, my dad never had
a solution for the real monsters,

the ones that reach out and
grab you in broad daylight,

and neither did I.

Hi,

Son.

Bryant?

Bryant, what happened was not your
fault. I mean, no one's to blame.

Not you, not Donna.

When are you
gonna call Mom?

Well, I tried.
There was no answer.

You did hear me?
I heard you.

Look, I never said
it was your fault, okay?

And besides,
you weren't even there.

But I would've been, if your
plane just hadn't beat the clock!

Look, I know how hard it is to
stop worrying about your sister,

even for a minute,

but I just thought
maybe we could shake hands.

Say, "Hi, Son," "Hi, Dad."
Something like that.

We'll find her.
It's a small island.

You can skip the pep talk.
I'm not a little kid anymore.

Characterizing you as a child
would be too charitable.

Even the most undisciplined street urchin

has some sense of respect for
the rights and property of others.

Higgins... But you've gone beyond the bounds

even of personal
irresponsibility

in extending your reprehensible
behavior to your friends.

There's nothing irresponsible
or reprehensible about it.

It isn't enough that you use my every absence

to launch another bacchanal
at the estate...

It was an aloha party
for T.C.'s kids.

That doesn't
excuse the fact...

We never had the party, because
his daughter was abducted.

...now receives junk mail
and flyers here...

Oh, my God.

Rick and I have been
at the airport all day,

looking for anybody
who might have seen her.

What junk mail and flyers?

There was a letter
in this afternoon's post

addressed to Theodore Calvin at Robin's Nest.

There was no postmark
and no return address.

Like a ransom note.

That's gotta be the ransom
note. What did you do with it?

You threw it away?

You threw it away!

There's no need to keep
repeating that question.

I was quite angry
at the mess you created.

You threw it away!

It's a kidnapping.

Well, at least that gives
us something to work with.

He finally go to sleep? Looks that way.

Boy, I'd forgotten how hard it
is to explain things to kids.

He doesn't understand why I won't
call Estin about the ransom note.

Well, I'm not sure
I do, either.

We can go through
all your papers

and try and find out who
the kidnappers are ourselves,

but T. C.,
Estin's a professional.

He might see something
we're missing. Look, I know.

There's just something
about that guy.

Something
I just can't quite...

Okay.

Uh, I sorted it out into strong
possibilities, possibilities, and long shots.

I guess we should start with
the strong possibilities.

Here it is.

I knew I had seen
this guy somewhere.

Estin was the
agent in charge.

The kid was only seven.

Why in the world
would you keep this?

Oh...

It was my first
full-page ad...

Look, I don't need
Estin's kind of help.

I will find her
myself,

and I'll
get her back,

alive.

Okay.

You're the boss.

What keeps bothering me
is why.

Why would anybody
kidnap Melody?

Come on! They told us why.
$300,000 in twenties.

But you don't have that
kind of cash. Well, not here.

But I can get
my hands on it.

If I sold everything.

Maybe got a bank loan.

But who would know that?

And who would know
to contact you at Robin's?

Hello.

T.C.?
Yeah.

I'm afraid you'd better
come to the estate.

Right away.

Hi, Mom.

Bryant.

Uh, I tried calling you at home,
Tina, but there was no answer.

That's because Agent Estin didn't
wait as long as you did to call us.

Hello, Thomas.

Tina.

Thomas Magnum.
Tina and I are...

I know, I know.

Hello, son.

Hi.

Perhaps you'd like to talk
in the study.

I think you'll find it
more comfortable in there.

Do you work for T. C?

Hmm?

Oh, no. Um...

Higgins doesn't
work for me.

He doesn't own
this place, Mom.

He doesn't even have
an estate at all.

Or a guest house, or a private
beach, or tennis courts,

or anything like that.

He doesn't even
have a Ferrari.

Just a house.

Look, I never said I actually
owned any of those things.

Forget it, T.C.
I don't want to hear it.

Excuse us.

Listen, can we keep this
in the family?

David can hear anything else
you have to say to me.

We're taking Bryant
with us.

No... T. C., my cousin Evelyn
is letting us stay with her.

Please, let him stay with me, like we agreed.

Why don't we let
Bryant decide?

Well, I would like
to stay with him.

We have to find Melody.

But honey, that's what the
police are doing right now.

And Agent Estin... They're
working very hard...

You said let him decide.
He decided.

No more debate.
The subject's closed.

Well, I hope you keep a better eye on Bryant.

I think you better go.

Now.

You call me, you hear?
Okay.

Look, I don't have
a lot of money.

We've had business expenses...

Look, don't worry about it. I'll
get the ransom money somehow.

You're welcome to stay.
There's plenty of room.

Thank you. We...

We've made other
arrangements.

Very well.

Look, all that stuff
about me owning the estate...

T. C., an explanation
is completely unnecessary.

I'm sorry. I...

It's perfectly understandable that
one might find oneself in a situation

where, well, the truth
becomes a trifle embellished.

Like the time your old buddies
from Sandhurst came here,

and you... There's no
need to go into details.

Let he who has not sinned
cast the first stone.

I shall telephone Switzerland as
soon as banking hours open there.

I believe we should be able to
withdraw $300,000 from Robin's account.

Wouldn't Robin have to authorize
something like that personally?

He's inaccessible
at present.

He's with three Swedish models at the
Annapurna Sanctuary in the Himalayas,

photographing a layout
for his new book.

In any event, I have
complete power of attorney.

And I'd like to do
anything I can to help.

We all would.

Thanks.

I'd like to get my son home.
It's been a long day.

No, sir, I will not
be put on hold again.

I have been on bloody hold
since before bloody sunrise!

I do not know what sort of banking
practices you are accustomed to,

but you cannot
just snap your fingers

and expect us to hand over
$300,000 American.

I did not snap my fingers!

I gave you
the proper security codes,

and I expect you
to honor them!

Hold, please.

Ice Pick?

I'd have liked
to think I'd been clever

in figuring out why T.C. Assumed
the role of lord of Robin's Nest,

but I think the reason was
clear to anyone who knew him.

He wanted to see his kids,

and he wanted Tina to feel
okay about sending them.

Tina had also assumed a role:
The strong and stoic ex-wife.

Which was pretty understandable,
under the circumstances.

And even though Bryant's role

as the guy who doesn't need anybody
because he had to be the man of the family

was pretty convincing,

I knew his love for his dad
was genuine.

Any progress?

No, nothing yet.

Thomas?

Hi. Can I talk
to you a minute?

Of course.

Excuse me.
Where are you going?

I've got some phone calls
to make.

He's a little uncomfortable
around T.C.'s friends.

My old friends.

Come in. Sit down.

Tina, I have lunch ready...

Evelyn, Thomas Magnum.

Thomas,
my cousin, Evelyn Perry.

Hello.
Hi.

I can bring the sandwiches
in here.

Not for me, thanks.
I'm not hungry.

You really must eat
something, Tina.

I will, later.

What a lousy reason to see each
other again after all these years.

I wish I'd kept in touch.
I meant to.

I didn't know
what to say to you, either.

Oh, Thomas, I am so scared.

We'll find her.

When I woke up
this morning,

just for a second,
I thought it was '75 again.

T.C. Had just come home,

and all the bad stuff
hadn't started yet.

The nightmares,
and the moods...

Why am I talking about this? I mean,
I thought I had it all under control!

I thought I had it behind me.

I never should have let them
come here!

Tina, you couldn't have known. I should have!

I should have done something!

You are not
the bad guy here.

And neither is T.C.

Oh, I know.

I've known that
for a long time.

I just don't know
how to tell him that.

I know you ain't paying a social visit.

And you damn sure ain't here
to throw some business my way.

Three hundred thousand
dollars.

That's almost
the exact same amount

that the courts
made you pay me

when you tried to force me
into the ocean last year.

I don't want to talk to you, and I
don't want you anywhere around me.

Until you give me instructions on
where to bring the ransom money, right?

What the hell
are you talking about?

Man, how far would you go to
take my business away from me?

I mean, you couldn't
knock me out of the air,

so is that when you decided
to kidnap my little girl?

Hey! You want to fling around
accusations like that, go ahead.

I'll take you on.
Don't you think I won't!

We can wail on each other
all you want to,

but it ain't gonna
change the truth.

I didn't kidnap
your little girl.

I'd never do
something like that.

I had to find out.

Tell you what, T. C.,

you find yourself having to
sell to raise that ransom money,

I'd be more than wiling
to oblige.

Cash
on the barrelhead.

I know I can't pay you
what it's worth,

but I can get the money
pretty fast.

Cash?

I am simply stating
that a computer malfunction

does not prohibit checking my
authorization codes manually.

Nor does it interfere
with a telex wire.

But the computer
is the very reason

we no longer have enough staff
for manual coding.

Then check
the bloody numbers yourself!

There is no need to shout.

There is every need to shout,
Mr. Eberhardt!

I seem to have no other way to convince
you of the urgency of the situation.

A little girl's life
may be lost

because of feeble excuses
about computer malfunctions!

Are you quite finished?
No!

But your relationship with Robin
Masters' investment firm will be

if you cannot find a way

to devote your immediate and
undivided attention to this matter!

I'll do my best.

I sincerely hope it's enough!

He's not? Do you know
where he can be reached?

No, just tell him
Bryant Calvin called.

They said Agent Estin
won't be back till tonight.

Hey, T. C.,
we got a lead.

I talked to Ice Pick,
and Thomas here talked...

What's going on?

I'm selling
the business.

Higgins is getting nothing
but a bunch of red tape.

The bank say a loan would take 90
days. Well, I ain't got 90 days.

So I'm selling the business
to Big Jim Stotter.

Can I, uh,
talk to you a minute?

You may not need
the ransom.

I think we may know
who the kidnapper is.

Tina's boyfriend,
David Crawford.

You guys can stop whispering. Melody
and I don't like the guy anyway.

What makes you think David
Crawford's the kidnapper?

Motive and opportunity.

He borrowed about a half a million
dollars to get his business started,

and he's overdue
on a big chunk of it.

Which he must have thought
that you were good for,

because everything
that you told Tina,

she believed
to be true.

You talked to Tina?

No. I did.

Whoever took Melody knew how much you
were worth, or at least thought he did.

So I got to wondering
how much Tina told David.

A lot.

She sort of brags about you
to everybody.

About your business
and everything.

I also got to wondering why
he was overdue on the note,

and I had a friend of mine
at the phone company

to make a list of all the
long-distance calls from the Perry house

in the last 24 hours.

This number here? That's a Los Angeles
bookie. He only handles high rollers.

I'm going over there.

Not till we have
solid proof.

Where you gonna get that?
Ice Pick.

Well, not
Ice Pick himself.

A bookie
that he told me about.

Who's Ice Pick?

Who's Ice Pick? Ice Pick's a
friend of mine. He's from Chicago.

But his real name's
not Ice Pick.

Uh, Rick?
Bernie Cochran.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bernie the Bookie.

Apparently he's making a
pickup for this Mainland guy.

And I know that he's
collecting from Crawford.

We can't wait until then!

We won't have to. Rick's gonna
get Bernie to show him his books.

And how are you gonna
do that?

Trust me.

Okay. Well,
let me know.

Yep!

We should call Mr. Estin.
He'll get us proof.

No, we are not
calling Estin.

We're going on
with our plan

for you to take
your first and last

Island Hopper ride

when I deliver the chopper
to Big Jim Stotter.

No, thanks. I don't think I want
to go on any helicopter ride.

Look, if you don't want to give
an inch, that's your decision.

That's fine.

But I'm your father,

and I think a son should want to
spend some time with his father.

That way, you decide whether you're
gonna be my friend or my enemy,

at least you'll know
the reason why.

Yeah, well, while we're out
there spending time together,

Melody's out there by herself. Hey!

You think it's easy
for me to sit around

waiting for the next set of instructions?

I don't want to go for
any helicopter ride either,

but what I want is not
important. What is important

is to make sure that
Melody does not get hurt.

You got that?

Oh, hey, bet you guys are here
for the baseball equipment.

I got it all
packed up in the van.

We've been everywhere. We've
looked through every street.

What are you
talking about?

Me and the guys. We've
been looking for Melody.

We covered Chinatown,
Little Saigon, Waikiki.

We've been combing
the beaches all morning.

I don't know
where else to look.

I'm sorry.
We really let you down.

Oh, no.
Hey, man, thanks.

Sorry, Coach.

Look, I got some
other things to do.

You guys go on
and get the equipment and, uh,

play your game.

But Coach...

Please. That's the best
you can do for me right now.

We'll call you.

After.

T. C!

Dad?

Sometimes I get, I don't
know, worried about stuff,

and I guess I kind of act
like a real jerk.

No, you don't.

You just act like someone who's
trying to do everything for himself.

You don't have
to do that anymore.

I think I'd like
that helicopter ride.

Hey, all right!

I've never been
in a helicopter before.

Sure you have.

You probably don't remember.

I took you and your Momma
when you were just a baby.

Scared her to death,
but you, you just laughed...

I did?
Yeah!

Speaking of laughing,
come here.

All right.

Let me ask you
something.

Are you still ticklish
on your stomach?

Come on, Dad!

Hey, let me ask you. Have you ever
thought about calling me sometime?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Well, then I don't have
much time, Higgins.

Big Jim's
waiting with the cash.

You no longer need
Big Jim's cash.

And Mr. Masters' donation does not
require the sale of your helicopter.

You got it?

It's locked in the estate
vault at this very moment.

All right!

Addendum to role-playing.

Sometimes it can help you
solve cases.

For instance, I always knew Rick was
capable of playing a variety of roles.

But sometimes it seemed like
he'd watched too many old movies.

Ice Pick never told me
he had a new pencil jockey.

Chrysler tell Detroit every
time they make a change?

He's never interfered
with my business before.

And he's not
going to now.

All he needs
is that $300,000 name.

That's strictly against
my procedures, my man.

I'll give Ice Pick
the message.

Wait.

Don't get
in a hoo-hoo, bro.

If you can't bend a few rules
between friends...

I can't believe that
anybody would think

that they could get into
a bookie for $300,000

and just walk away.

These guys
play for keeps!

I guess amateurs
don't know that.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna cover the back.

Oh, you just want
to avoid Tina.

You blame me? She hates my
guts, and she always has.

She doesn't hate you.

She just thinks you were a
bad influence on her husband.

So were you.

Hi, Tina.

Is it Melody?
Did you find her?

No. That's why I'm here.

What do you mean,
"That's why I'm here"?

I figure Melody's kidnapper
can tell us where she is.

Are you...

Are you accusing
David...

Where's Evelyn?

Where is she, Evelyn?
Where's Melody?

I don't have her
anymore!

They do.

I gambled it all
away, Mr. Estin.

Everything Lloyd and I had.

Everything.

I started borrowing
to get more.

And more.

Until finally I owed
$300,000.

When they showed up
to collect,

I didn't have it.

I didn't know
what to do.

Lloyd was going to be
back soon from Guam.

He didn't even know.

I had to do something,

anything,
to get that money.

After I took Melody,

they came
and took her from me.

They said they didn't need
a middleman.

Now that you know who they
are, maybe you can find her.

It's unlikely that the kidnappers
will let the little girl go free.

Even if they do get
their money,

they still can't risk
being identified.

I think that's all for now.

What about the ransom note?
Did he say anything about that?

I didn't tell him
about that.

You didn't tell him?

There's a good reason
for that.

There couldn't be
a good enough reason!

You haven't changed
at all.

You still have to
run the world your own way!

Tina!

Tina!

I don't want to hear it!

Yes, I do. Don't go, T.C.

Please.

What's with us?

Is there some sort of
unwritten rule

that says we have to argue
every time we get together?

Even at a time
like this?

I am tired of arguing. I am
tired of living in the past.

I am tired of blaming each
other for what went wrong.

Not everybody gets to
run away from their past.

Escape to a tropical island
and start all over again.

Come on, you act as though I had a choice.

I did what I had to do.

For all of us.

I...

I can't go
through this alone.

You're not alone.

But if you want someone to help
you, you're gonna have to trust them.

A little.

I can do that.

Trust me?

A little.

No more arguing?

No more blaming each other.
No more living in the past.

Whew!

I guess we've just
negotiated a cease-fire.

T. C! Phone!

Kapiolani Park
at noon.

They said to send somebody
to the Sea Palms Hotel.

Room 401.

These guys
know what they're doing,

and it's gonna take all
of us to beat their setup.

I wish we could use your chopper,
but I'm afraid they'll recognize it.

Not if it's not
my chopper.

Big Jim,
do you read me?

I read you, T.C.
Loud and clear.

Just let me know
when they make a move.

How about you,
Thomas?

You at the Sea Palms
Hotel yet?

I'll call you back
when I'm in the room.

$300,000, in twenties.

Thanks, Higgins.

It won't be out of sight for long.

This little baby's gonna get
Robin's 300 G's back safe and sound.

I can see her, T.C.
She looks okay.

Thank God.

And I can see today's paper,
just like they said.

Can you tell
where she is?

She could be anywhere. They're still
promising to give us her location.

All right,
I'm on my way.

Good luck.

Contact.

I'm reading him.

He doesn't have the bag.

Let's go.

We're leaving
the park area.

We're staying close
to the attach� case.

I'm sticking with you.

Still no word
on Melody's location.

I've got him in sight.

Hang back a little.
Don't spook him.

Which car do we follow? It's dealer's choice.

Take the car on the left. We
should stick with the Continental.

Guys, we're losing
the signal.

We're following
the wrong car!

Yeah?

17501 Aliikoa, Waikiki.

Aliikoa, Waikiki.

17501 Aliikoa.

The other car was moving in that direction.

Go on to Waikiki, T.C. I'll
stay with the money car.

Wait a minute, T.C.
Turn around and come back.

They're trying to draw you
away. She's not in Waikiki.

How do you know?

There's a reflection in a
picture. I can see this hotel.

She's right across the street!

We're on our way.

T.C., I'm gonna try
and cut 'em off.

Go for it, Big Jim.
We'll back you up.

It's high time
we did business our way.

Yeah!

T. C!

Hi, Daddy.

You all right?

You all right?
Yes.

Yes.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Thanks, Jim.

About the car,
Higgins,

I'm sure Robin will understand
when you explain it to him.

It's early, but I'm going
home to have a drink.

The sun has got to be setting
somewhere in the world.

Can I ask you
a question, Thomas?

Sure.

Where did you guys
get all that spy stuff?

Those radios,
and that radar thing?

Well, Robin Masters
is a man of many tastes,

and even more toys.

Look, uh,

I'm sorry I jumped to the
wrong conclusions about David.

You don't have to
say another word.

David and I, well...

He's gone home.

Said he'd be all moved out
by the time I got back.

I think I always knew we
weren't going to be permanent.

Just like the ceasefire
T.C. And I agreed to.

Well, maybe that'll
evolve into a truce.

Maybe.

I don't think
the kids would mind!
