Hawaii Five-O (1968) s02e03 Episode Script

Hey, what is this? This is Sino-One.
The objective is secured.
Very good.
Read me the correct time.
Ten-oh-five.
Transmit the warning in exactly 11 minutes.
McGarrett, Five-0.
- I can't believe it.
Steve.
- Hey, Johnno.
- How long's it been? - Oh, let's not bother to count.
- Busan? - Inchon.
You look great, Steve, ever since you left Naval Intelligence for this island paradise, this soft job.
Soft job? I haven't had a day off in two weeks.
What's the duty? You see that nice, average-looking group of gentlemen over there? Yeah.
They happen to be the free world's ten greatest minds - on the subject of genetic engineering.
- Genetic engineering.
I guess I know what it means.
What's the occasion? They're here for a world seminar.
And why are you here? According to the government, too much manpower to leave unattended.
Say, want some coffee - or something to eat? - No, no.
I just had breakfast.
Good morning, Professor Crighton.
Crighton? Should I know the name? One of the real heavyweights, I'm told.
He and an American named Harold Lochner Oh, Dr.
Crighton.
I did think your paper this afternoon was fantastical.
- You did? - Absolutely.
Matter of fact, I would have stood and applauded if this seminar were about science fiction.
Science fiction? Oh, no, professor, I wouldn't want to invade your territory.
Well, I'm afraid my private territory isn't equal to your myopic reasoning.
The other one's Lochner.
Are you sure they're on the same side? Sometimes I wonder.
Good morning, Mr.
Padway.
Dear old Dad again.
- Scientist? - Miss Lochner.
His assistant.
Prettier than mine, I'd say.
Back to your cage, you old billy goat.
If I am in a cage, its bars are fuddy-duddy minds like yours.
Oh, come on.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself, antagonizing poor Professor Crighton like that.
He's a classic example of inadaptability in hormones.
Besides, he's a fuddy-duddy Englishman.
Now, it's time for your medicine.
Go right upstairs and you take it now.
Miss Lochner.
Miss Lochner? Like you to meet an old friend of mine.
This is Steve McGarrett of Five-0.
Miss.
Lochner.
Welcome to Hawaii.
Well, there it is.
Look at those kids, they were born on those things.
That's fantastic.
I'll bet it's a lot like skiing.
Same principle, except the mountain moves.
And if you don't, it will bury you.
Your turn.
Tell me about genetic engineering.
I can't.
I thought you were your father's assistant.
I am.
I take all his notes.
I just don't understand them.
I can tell you this, though, that it's the science of expediting the process of evolution by stepping up the favorable mutations.
In other words, they wanna mess around with our genes so that all our children are geniuses.
- Something like that.
- How does it work? Chemicals, radiation.
My father's discovered a process which is really secret.
In fact, according to him, revolutionary.
He's scheduled to deliver a series of papers on it this afternoon.
What if something like that should fall into the wrong hands? Well, I guess it could produce a race of zombies.
Look at that kid.
Do you? Are you gonna stay around a while, or are you going back to the mainland as soon as the conference is over? - Five-0 calling McGarrett.
- Excuse me.
McGarrett.
Steve, there's been an alert.
Tsunami warning.
A tsunami? What's the direction and ETA? South-by-east, coming up fast.
ETA, 35 minutes.
Evacuation orders are going out now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Victoria, please.
Yeah.
Well, look, bring in extra personnel, phones, whatever we need to turn the palace into a tsunami central headquarters.
Contact the HPD, coordinate with them and the military.
Ask them to bring in all off-duty personnel, and contact Padway, tell him to get those scientists off the beach.
Then flash a red alert.
I'm on my way.
We've got a tsunami warning, it's a tidal wave.
We had a bad one in 1960, almost wiped out Hilo.
My father.
That villa's on the beach.
Don't worry.
They've been warned to move to higher ground.
So we'll contact them as soon as possible.
This is an actual alert.
Prepare for immediate evacuation.
Commence evacuation of low-lying areas immediately.
Evacuate immediately.
The tidal wave is expected to reach the island of Oahu within 30 minutes.
This is an official tsunami alert.
- No time, sir.
Please, get in.
- Just a minute, I've forgotten No time, sir.
Andrews, give him a hand please.
- Move.
- Where's my daughter? Roll it.
What's it like outside? City's in a panic.
Island's tied up end to end.
Gentlemen.
Please, bring this over here in front of the map.
Same picture we get here, Steve.
Emergency plan's not working because the public got the warning as soon as we did.
Everybody got it.
HPD reports most of their men had no time to reach their posts.
- So far, this whole thing - Danny, please, save it for the postmortem.
How much time we got before it hits? Nineteen minutes.
Right here, sir.
Steve? Hello? Yes, admiral? Yes, sir.
Are you certain? Yes, sir.
Yeah, very strange.
Yes, sir, I'll get back to you.
Thank you.
Listen to this.
All landlines to the observatory are out.
No alert has been sounded by any other station on the seismic sea wave system.
Neither the FAA nor the Pacific Field director was alerted.
- Maybe a breakdown in the system? - Not the way I read it.
I think this whole tsunami is a hoax.
Who would do a thing like this? Let's find out.
Steve.
Chin.
We've been well taken.
Our communication tells us that the main arteries are completely jammed.
- We advise that you take - We have precise orders.
- Would you step outside, please? - Me? Stay where you are.
What's going on here? Who's in charge? Don't move.
Would you step out now, please? This is the most uncivilized behavior.
I think we're entitled to some sort of explanation.
- Another time, professor.
- Professor? I have the honor of addressing Professor Lochner.
Oh, no, young man.
You're mistaken.
I'm Dr.
Michael Crighton of London, England.
Lochner's picture, quick.
Whatever you say, professor.
Please do not worry about the tidal wave.
It was stillborn.
Airport watch secured at 10:41.
Kalanianaole Highway at Elelupe Road, 10:41.
- Danny.
- Yeah.
Highway at Halawa, 10:42.
Kalihi at Likelike, 10:42.
- 10:42.
What about the dock watch? - In progress, Steve.
Tell them progress isn't good enough.
- Hey, Johnno, what do you got? - Not much, Steve.
Four men, oriental, all wearing civil defense helmets.
- Yeah, what about the car? - Nothing.
One small thing.
Lochner did try to hide his identity.
Seems they shook him up a little bit.
Padway, got a half a dozen calls for you when you're ready.
Go ahead.
- Thank you.
- How do you feel? Confused.
Why my father? Didn't you say he discovered a revolutionary breakthrough in genetics? What would they do with him? Where would they take him? I don't know, Victoria.
We're on an island 40 miles wide, 65 miles long.
They can't hide him for long.
And they haven't had time to take him off.
Got a good chance.
Besides, we've got one thing going for us.
One big thing.
- What's that? - Your father's brain.
I think he's a chess player.
He tried to outwit them once.
I don't think he's gonna stop now.
McGarrett, who kidnapped him? Please.
Who? Four orientals.
That's all we know now.
Professor Lochner? I can't tell you what an honor this is.
I have long admired your work.
I'm terribly impressed by your work, whoever you are.
My name is Wo Fat.
Where are we? A safe place.
Where is not important.
I suppose that you are responsible for this? This crime? A minor talent for organization.
I admit that I am a professional, but you, professor, are a genius.
I can match your modesty.
My genius is no achievement, it's a mere genetic accident.
If my genes had mutated unfavorably, I could have been born a cretin, a hopeless idiot.
Interesting.
- Matter of chance.
- Entirely.
But it no longer has to be, does it? Through the science of genetic engineering, you can change all that.
For the first time since the dawn of creation, man will control his destiny.
He will have the power to determine and transform future generations of his own species.
Why? A truly inspiring prospect.
Why? - Why? - I said, why? What makes you think that with all our tampering, we can improve on nature? Surely you're joking.
Not one Galileo or one Newton or one Einstein, but a thousand.
Michelangelos, Shakespeares, and may I say, Confuciuses by the score.
Scientists, artists, statesmen, writers, thinkers, warriors, in abundance.
A society where genius will be the norm.
Why, it would be a world of all chiefs and no Indians.
No, no, no, not a world, professor.
A society.
Of course, there will have to be workers, but then we'll have the rest of the world for that.
And they too will be superior animals.
Support the master race.
It seems to me history's gone down that road once before.
This time it'll be your country, I suppose? Well, it has to begin, and somewhere.
That's the yin and yang of it.
Not with my help, it won't.
Don't be foolish, professor.
You've already been appointed director of the Institute for Genetic Engineering at Peking, the very first of its kind.
You'll have unlimited financing and assistance.
I'd rather have a sandwich.
You know, you interfered with my brunch.
It was thoughtless of me.
Please.
Mr.
Wo Fat, I think you are a maniac.
Let us not generate ill will, professor.
We have a long voyage ahead of us, and I want us to remain friends.
You seriously hope to get me to Peking? It is no hope.
It has all been arranged, just as bringing you here.
In fact, we will be leaving within the hour.
I'm sorry I have to disturb your plans.
I don't think so.
That's where you're mistaken, Mr.
Wo Fat.
Genetically speaking.
You've already lost your little game.
You see, I happen to have inherited an autosomal recessive trait called sugar diabetes.
I have a complete dossier on you.
There is no reference to any such ailment.
Don't let that upset you, Mr.
Fat.
You see, I've kept it a secret from my own government for years.
Why? If what you say is true, why would you have concealed it? I don't know.
Maybe because I think a man's health is secret, personal.
Maybe I didn't want the government to retire me too early.
I happen to love my work, you see.
I'm merely trying to tell you as simply as possible that I can't go to China with you.
I require constant medical treatment.
And this is the only insulin that I happen to have with me.
How long will it take us to get to Peking? Well, it really doesn't matter.
I'd be dead on arrival.
Dead tomorrow morning, without insulin.
A brilliant stroke, professor.
My congratulations.
But, of course, it won't change the outcome.
Have it your way.
If you want to deliver a dead man.
I think not.
You must have an adequate supply of insulin at your place of lodging.
There should be little difficulty in obtaining it.
No, governor.
No, sir.
No, sir, nothing yet.
Yes, sir.
I will, as soon as we get anything.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Victoria, I wanna know everything there is to know about your father.
- What good would that do? - You wanna see him alive, don't you? I've got every man of every agency on this rock working to find your father.
It's a tough job, made tougher by the fact that we know nothing about the kidnappers.
Now, the only alternative is to know everything we can about the victim.
I know how tough it is.
If it weren't important, I wouldn't ask.
What do you want to know? The public Harold Lochner, the famous scientist? Or the private man, my father, who's warm and real and exasperating? Which one do you want to hear about? - Your father, of course.
- Well, what can I tell you? Anything.
Everything.
Most of my life I didn't know him.
I only loved him.
Do you think he'd resist under questioning? To his last breath.
My father is proud and loyal and stubborn.
He'll fight them every step of the way as long as his strength holds out.
Good.
Good.
All right, and the question is how.
What might he do, huh? I don't know.
Well, you've watched him in his laboratory, solving problems at home in moments of crisis.
Is there any pattern to his behavior during these times? My mother knew him, knew every trait, every trick.
She knew all his habits and all his quirks.
She used to say he was the most unpredictable man that ever lived.
Don't you see? I've known him just two short years, since my mother died.
She knew him for 25 years, couldn't guess what he'd do next.
At the villa, I heard you remind him to take some medication.
What for? What's wrong? Oh, he kept the secret for so long.
And it'll still be kept a secret, I promise you.
My father's a diabetic.
He needs insulin.
If he doesn't have it, he'll die.
How much insulin does he carry with him at any given time? A single dose, that's all.
Jenny.
Danny and Chin are with Padway.
Get them for me, right away.
- Where? - What? Where does he keep his supply of insulin? In the refrigerator at the villa.
Danno, how far are you from the villa? Hold it! Police! It It was not successful.
The insulin, did you get it? Hello? Chin Ho, Five-0.
We need an ambulance in Ainakea and Wai now.
Well, how frustrating.
You'd make a very poor poker player, Mr.
Wo Fat.
You could read every card in your face.
Your eyes may be deceiving you.
Now, come on, admit it, your man failed.
Professor, I like your little games.
You're right.
Ling Po walked into a trap.
Somehow McGarrett guessed he would go back to the villa for insulin.
Who's McGarrett? An old enemy.
One I should have eliminated a long time ago.
I think I like the sound of him.
May his dominant genes replicate.
The problem now is to get you some insulin.
No.
No, Mr.
Wo Fat, that is not the problem.
The problem is to get me the right type of insulin.
You see, I require a very special sort.
It's called Well, never mind that.
Any other sort would affect me just like so much water.
More tricks, professor? I don't believe you.
Suit yourself.
But when I curl up my toes in diabetic collapse, listen for ghostly laughter.
It'll be me.
- I've gotta talk to him, doc.
- You can try.
Who are you? Who are you? Where are you from? Answer me.
Where are you from? I asked you who you are.
Wo Fat will kill you.
Thanks, doc.
Wo Fat is back.
Who's he? He's a red Chinese agent.
He's in charge of the entire Pacific-Asiatic theater.
They wanna take my father back to red China with them, don't they? That's it, isn't it? That's the truth? The truth is nobody can take your father anywhere.
Not without a supply of insulin.
- Stalemate.
- Yeah, until Wo Fat tries to get that insulin.
Now, where would he look? Drug-supply companies? Hospitals? - Warehouses? - No, they'd go back to the Go back to where? Where? Tell me.
Tell me, Victoria.
Did your father buy insulin in Hawaii? - Why? - Why? It's the key.
It's your father's next move.
Don't you see that? Wherever he got it, that's where he'll send Wo Fat and we've got to be there.
Now, please, tell me.
We don't have much time.
What's wrong? I'm beginning to see, that's what's wrong.
I see your cop mind at work.
Your nice cop mind.
National security above all else, huh? Better dead than red? Do I read you right? You can't find my father, and you don't dare let him get off the island alive.
So you've only got one alternative: Cut off his insulin supply.
And you want me to help you? Are you saying that I'd let your father die? Answer me! - I don't know what to think.
- Yeah, well, think about this.
If they get to that insulin supply before we do, then you'll never see your father dead or alive.
If we get there first, there's a chance, a good chance.
Now, consider that.
He bought a supply at a pharmacy in the Japanese section.
What's the name and address? Tane Seto, Campbell and Mooheau Street.
Good.
Good girl.
Okay, boys, that's it.
That's where Wo Fat will go.
- If the professor tells him.
- He'll tell him.
What are you using, Steve, telepathy? I'm using his scientific mind, Danno.
I'm gambling that he'll realize it's not only his last chance, but it's ours.
Now, set up a stakeout.
No interference.
Let him walk away with the stuff.
- He won't get out of our sight.
- He better not.
It's foolish to sit and let your life trickle away, professor.
And in the end, who will know? Who will remember? Don't bother.
You torment me.
It's not my intention.
I want to save you.
Tell me the kind of insulin you need.
I don't remember the prescription.
You must remember.
Your life depends upon remembering.
Tell me, professor.
Help me save your life.
Very well, you win.
You're too great a man to die needlessly.
You're free to go.
Do you mean that? You may leave whenever you like.
I can't move without my insulin.
I'll send one of my men.
Tane Seto Pharmacy.
They'll know the formula.
Steve, Chin.
License number, 6942.
Repeat, 6942.
The car turned north on Mooheau Street.
Repeat, north on Mooheau Street.
I got it, Chin.
Get moving.
- Car 6, come in.
- Car 6, Steve.
Blue sedan, license number Turned north on Mooheau Street.
Should be approaching.
Roger.
Steve, Kono.
The blue sedan just passed, still headed north.
I got it, Kono.
Tail him till his next turn.
Did Car 3 come in? Car 3.
Danno, proceed to the corner of Mooheau and Hilo.
Roger.
- Car 4, come in.
- Four here.
Proceed to the corner of Lipoa and Kalani.
Roger.
- Car 7, come in.
- Chin here.
Proceed to the corner of Hapuu and Kalani.
Roger.
Steve, Kono here.
The sedan just turned west on Okana Road.
Repeat, west on Okana Road.
Let him go, Kono.
Proceed to the intersection of Kalani and Hookoe.
Roger.
Car 7, come in.
Car 7, come in.
Car 7 here.
Sedan turned west on Okana Road.
Proceed to the intersection of Okana and Hapuu.
Roger.
Car 7 reporting.
The car just passed Hapuu Street, going west on Okana Road.
Follow it, Chin.
If he turns, let him go.
Roger.
Car 4, come in.
Car 4 here.
Proceed west on Kalani to the corner of Kahu, and make it quick.
Roger.
Car 3, come in.
Car 3.
Danno, proceed west on Hilo to the comer of Kahu.
Roger.
Car 7 reporting.
The sedan just turned north on Kahu Street.
I got it.
Car 4, come in.
Where are you? Headed west on Kalani.
Just passed Hookoe.
Sedan is heading north on Kahu.
Pick him up as he passes.
Roger.
Car 3, come in.
Car 3 here.
- Direction, Danno.
- West on Hilo Street.
Sedan just turned north on Kahu.
Can you reach him by the time he crosses Hilo? Should be able to.
- Okay, advise.
- Roger.
- Car 3 reporting.
- Go.
Sedan just turned west on Amua Place.
- The pier? - Right, Steve.
Looks like Pier C.
Hold where you are, and I'm on my way.
Attention, all cars.
Attention, all cars.
Proceed to Kahu and Amua and hold.
Repeat, Kahu and Amua and hold.
I want the harbor completely sealed.
Yes, yes.
We'll keep you alerted.
Rest, professor.
Let your strength flow back.
We have a full week's supply of insulin.
More than enough for our trip.
You think you've won, don't you? Yes, professor, I think so.
- Where are you taking me? - For a trip, just as I promised.
No Careful.
Precious cargo.
Tell the captain to prepare to sail.
- Anything? - Looks like business as usual.
I want the whole warehouse surrounded, use every man you got.
Wait here.
Wo Fat.
Wo Fat, this is McGarrett.
I'm coming in to talk.
Wo Fat, you've got Professor Lochner, but we've got the harbor sealed off.
The entire warehouse is surrounded.
Wo Fat.
Chinese magic, subject is gone.
- Not very far.
- Believe Wo Fat.
- You will never find him.
- And you will never leave this island.
I should have killed you a long time ago.
You tried.
As ever, McGarrett, brief and to the point.
Yeah.
Brief and to the point.
- Where is Lochner? - Lochner? Oh, Lochner.
Seems you found a house with no door.
Let's skip the fun and games, eh, Wo Fat? You're locked out.
An old proverb, McGarrett, says: "A wise man is never locked in or out who has the key.
" Somebody handed you the wrong fortune cookie.
The game is over.
You've lost again.
Now, where is Lochner? Where is? Where? Where? Your move, McGarrett.
Do you play chess? Enough to recognize a stalemate when I see one.
But in my game, McGarrett, stalemate is a dishonor.
- Consider your alternatives.
- You consider them for me.
A trade.
Professor Lochner, alive and unharmed, for your free passage.
My free passage means we'll meet again.
That prospect is the only thing that makes this stalemate acceptable.
You flatter me.
It was not meant to be flattering.
How do I know you'll keep your end of the bargain? Because I gave you my word.
Understood? Like you, Wo Fat, there are some orders I must obey.
Of course.
We do have something in common.
We are both slaves to our loyalties.
I have Peking, you have Washington.
Lochner.
Lochner.
Where is Lochner? Oh, after you.
He has been tranquilized.
Here is the resuscitant.
You will, of course, inform your men that I am to pass safely.
Of course.
As soon as I see that Lochner is unharmed.
He's a truly brilliant man.
- It's a great loss.
- Only to you, Wo Fat.
We will meet again.
The next time, McGarrett, the balance of power will be mine.
Father.
