Hawaii Five-O (1968) s08e16 Episode Script
Deadly Persuasion
Very well.
Now, the routes the royal family will be taking are well covered.
H.
P.
D.
Will provide us with any additional manpower we might need.
What about the airport? Red carpet will be down.
It'll be roped off from the aircraft to the car.
Excuse me.
Mr.
McGarrett, you have a call on line three.
- Oh, here.
Take it here.
- Oh, thank you.
- McGarrett.
- Steve, Chin.
We just got a hot call from a Mr.
Bowman.
He's research director at Kern Corporation.
Now, he's been trying to reach you.
Did he say what it was about, Chin? No.
But he did say it was an emergency situation.
And he won't speak to anyone but you.
- He really sounded upset.
- All right, Chin.
Danno should be finishing up that seminar at the university pretty soon, so pick him up and meet me there.
Will do, Steve.
The crime lab? No, I don't think it's more important than anything else.
I think what's needed most in police work is a good deal of patience and a good strong set of legs.
Well, I'm afraid that's about all the time we have for now.
I'd like to personally thank Dan Williams for Professor Davis, I have a question for Mr.
Williams.
- Some other time, Mr.
Stevens.
- No, no, no.
I'll be brief.
Sure, go ahead.
Mr.
Williams, what is your opinion of the cases where the accused is convicted solely on the basis of circumstantial evidence? My opinion? I don't quite know what you mean.
Oh, you know.
Do you think it's right? I mean, some people have been convicted unjustly, haven't they? Well, if you could give me a specific case, it would be a lot easier.
Well Sorry for the interruption.
Danny.
- What's up? - Well, I'm not sure.
Steve wants us to meet him right away.
Okay.
Sorry.
I am gonna have to cut it short.
- Something's come up.
- Oh, no problem.
Believe me.
Okay.
- George.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Thank you.
Bye.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
You must understand, that this was no run-of-the-mill burglary.
- What do you mean? - We mean, Mr.
McGarrett, that what's missing is a very deadly chemical called TZ-40, more commonly referred to as nerve gas.
That's right, gentlemen.
Also known as the ultimate weapon.
One drop placed on the skin will cause death within seconds.
This substance, is it a liquid? In its present form, yes.
Can it be vaporized, doctor? If someone had the proper technology.
This is the danger.
If it were a vapor released inside a building or in a heavily populated area, everyone would die.
The innocent along with the guilty.
Whoever the guilty are.
You said the security guard discovered the theft? Yes.
Incredibly, he'd just run a complete check on the laboratory about 20 minutes before.
Twenty minutes? Even for a pro, that's quite an accomplishment, isn't it? I've instructed Captain Leonaka of our plant security force to give you all the support - you might need.
- Thank you.
Danno, the royal family arrives in less than four hours.
I still have to run a final security check, so take over.
Gentlemen.
Thank you.
I told you I could pull it off.
But you didn't believe me.
Do you believe me now? What did I tell you? There he is.
You don't trust me, you dummy.
Okay.
Fine.
How are we covered at the Valley of the Temples? Nothing so far.
Didn't know they were going there.
Well, they'll be in the area.
I have a hunch the royal family will wanna see it.
Consider it covered.
Williams to McGarrett.
Come in, Steve.
Williams to McGarrett.
Come in, Steve.
McGarrett.
What do you got, Danno? Steve, I walked the entire building with the security guard who was on duty yesterday.
The inside access to the roof is still bolted and locked.
And there's no access from other buildings.
Whoever made the hit knows his way around.
Yeah.
Up and down.
We found ropes in the shaft.
But given the time element, he really had to fly.
Che is still out there going over the lab.
But I got to admit, I'm not very hopeful.
- Any witnesses turn up yet? - No.
But we're still looking.
H.
P.
D.
Has two teams out there coordinating with the company's security force.
Okay, Danno.
Stay on it.
- Williams.
- Danny? This is Harry Oakland.
Hello, Harry.
I thought we had an agreement.
You weren't gonna call me here anymore.
L I got something for you this time.
Big.
Really big.
It's an old song, Harry.
Better get someone else to write you some new material.
Does nerve gas ring a bell? - Should it? - Listen.
Only the guilty need be afraid.
That mean anything to you? Okay, Harry.
What are you selling? Look, l I can't talk now.
If you're interested, be at Kalakaua and Lewis in half an hour.
Just you.
Nobody else.
There's a pay phone there.
I'll call you.
Harry.
Harry.
Harry.
Was that all right? Did I do okay? Terrific, Harry.
Just marvelous.
You should have been an actor, you know that? But then, of course, you did pick a more noble profession, didn't you? Look, I don't know who you are or how you know me, but please let me go.
Not yet, Harry.
Not yet.
A little while.
Well, what happens now? We wait.
Okay, Harry.
Go ahead.
You alone? Yeah, I'm alone.
Where do we meet? Sure, I know where it is.
Oh, 20 minutes.
No, Harry, just me.
Right.
He's coming.
Good.
Good.
Things are going along very nicely, yes.
Harry, Dan Williams.
Harry? You in there? - Hello? - I haven't time to explain.
There's been a change of plans.
Time's run out, Harry.
You better level with me.
- What's going on? - I can't talk now.
You can and you will.
I tell you, these people are crazy.
They won't stop at anything.
I'm gonna leave the island before it happens.
Before what happens? What sort of threats are they making? I'll give it to you at the airport.
The ramp to Gate 22.
That's the best I can do.
If I'm not there, wait for me.
I'll tell you something else.
You better show or a lot of people are gonna die.
Well, it's all over.
How do you feel, Harry? - Just great.
- Good.
Because you're gonna need your strength, Harry.
Tell me something, Harry.
Do you believe in people coming back from the dead? You don't, huh? Well, maybe this will make you a believer, Harry.
I don't know.
I never I never seen - Cop, huh? - He's my father, Harry.
And my father doesn't like people who don't tell the truth.
Yeah.
Sergeant Stevens, right? Right.
Yeah.
Whatever happened to him? He committed suicide, Harry.
You and your friend Danny Williams killed him.
You killed him, Harry.
Tell him, father.
Isn't that right? Look, I didn't have anything to do with that.
It was Williams had your father suspended.
But you helped him, don't you see? No.
He asked me about your father taking payoffs.
But I didn't tell him a thing.
You told him everything, Harry.
You told him everything.
And it was all lies.
Circumstantial evidence, Harry.
I know, you see, because my father told me about it.
My father told me.
Don't worry.
I'm not gonna kill you, Harry.
Danny Williams is.
When I saw Harry laying there, I called you guys right away.
Okay, let's go back.
Are you absolutely sure it was Williams that was asking for him? What did he look like? Curly-headed guy, light blue suit.
Okay, so he went upstairs.
Did you see him later? Yeah.
He came down about five minutes later.
Five minutes? Are you sure about that? Yeah.
And he seemed to be in a big hurry too.
Has anyone else been around looking for Harry lately besides Williams? No.
Okay.
Thanks.
That'll be all for now.
Something weird's happening here.
We know Danny went upstairs, but we don't know for sure he even saw Harry.
Well, if he did see him, it must have been only minutes before he was murdered.
I better try to locate Danny.
Okay.
I'll get a backup out here to cover the premises and question the residents of this pleasure palace.
This is the final call for Flight 190 Now ready for departure at Gate 9.
Announcing Flight Announcing the departure Now making full boarding at Final call for Flight 190 Final call for Flight 190.
- Hello? - Only the guilty need be afraid.
You must be shaking in your shoes, eh, Danny boy? Who is this? A friend of Harry Oakland's.
He's gonna be a little late, but that's okay.
Now we'll have a chance to talk.
You got a name? All you need to know is that I'm the head of the organization Harry told you about.
We've got the nerve gas, kiddo.
And we've got a target all picked out.
You wanna know what it is? I'm listening.
Yeah, well, first I want you to listen to this and listen very attentively.
We've got spotters all over this airport.
You make a move to split or use the phones, then we make our strike.
No second chances.
- You got that? - I got it.
Good.
Well, it's target time.
Take a look out your window.
Got the picture, Williams? You're pretty confident, aren't you? What makes you think you can break through our security so easily? Oh, well, you're forgetting that what we have is a very silent, very versatile weapon.
And we have the technology to do the job even under the most adverse conditions.
Add to that, of course, the element of surprise.
Okay, it's your turn to listen, friend.
If any harm comes to the royal family or anyone else, we're gonna hunt you down and nail you no matter how long it takes us.
Oh, you're pretty good at that, aren't you? Tracking people down even when they're innocent.
Doesn't your conscience ever bother you? Doesn't it? I will not shut up.
I will not shut up.
He cannot talk to us like that.
Okay, okay.
Okay, you're right.
You are always right.
Okay.
We're moving into phase two.
After you hang up, I want you to move away from those phones.
Your next instructions will come from Harry Oakland.
He'll be along in a moment.
Why don't you give them to me yourself, hotshot? You'll find out soon enough.
Remember now, we're watching you.
Any move to contact your cop friends and you can say bye-bye.
- Operator.
- Hello, operator.
Give me the police.
Okay.
Let's go.
Let's move it.
Colonel, if you wish to depart from your itinerary, and I sincerely hope you don't, we'll need at least six hours advance notice.
I understand.
Are we free to move about within the hotel itself? Oh, of course.
Providing you have an escort.
And if we have any special Any emergency needs? There'll be people in the command post just down the hall 24 hours a day.
Now, any one of them will be glad to assist you in any way.
There'll be a guard outside your door.
Thank you very much.
You do your job well, Mr.
McGarrett.
Thank you, colonel.
Good luck.
Central to McGarrett.
Yeah, McGarrett.
What do you got? Steve, Chin.
Could you come to the office? There's something I have to show you.
Yeah, I'm on my way, Chin.
H.
P.
D.
Found this behind the hotel.
Serial number checks out.
It's Danny's old service automatic.
And the autopsy report says Oakland was killed with a.
45.
Could have been any.
45, not necessarily this one.
- Any prints on it? - Danny's.
All over it.
Steve, I'm sure Danny will have an explanation.
But we gotta find him first.
It's been a little over five hours now without any word.
Ballistics report in yet? - Should be out any time.
- Push time.
Steve, got a wild one for you.
An anonymous caller told us we'd find Harry Oakland's killer at the airport waiting to take the 6:00 flight to Los Angeles.
Said we'd recognize the name from the reservations list.
The name is Danny Williams.
Announcing Flight 14 to New York and Los Angeles now arriving at Gate - Officer Williams? - What do you guys want? - We've got orders to bring you in.
- Why? They didn't tell us.
There has to be some mistake.
Look, fellas, I'm walking a tightrope.
I shouldn't be seen with you guys.
What are you hassling for? Orders come direct from McGarrett.
Now come along quietly.
Okay, you blew it anyway.
But only on condition if you get through to Five-0 right away.
Tell them the royal family is not to leave.
Not even with an escort.
You got it? - I guess we can do that.
- Let's go.
Stand clear please.
Stand clear.
Steve, what the hell is going on? I was hustled out of that airport like a common criminal.
What's this all about? Sit down, Danno.
My message got through okay? The royal family is safe, but we've got problems.
Big ones.
Harry Oakland's been murdered.
- When? - This morning about 11:00.
I was there around 11.
I know.
Ballistics report just came in.
This is the murder weapon.
It's mine.
Yeah.
I realize now the organization is probably an organization of one.
But I had no way of knowing.
Any of those people in the airport could have been working for that guy.
So there I was, waiting for a dead man.
Okay.
Okay, let's run it down.
Somebody steals the nerve gas, gets to Harry and forces him to contact you.
Right? Now again through Harry, he gets you to the airport where you're totally vulnerable, he kills Harry with your service automatic then he calls in a plane reservation to L.
A.
In your name.
Then makes an anonymous call to Duke? Right.
I tell H.
P.
D.
To pick you up.
Now, again, this creep, somehow, he knows that when the officers arrive you're gonna resist.
You're gonna protest because of the threat to the royal family.
That's pretty neat, isn't it, John? Yeah.
And very thin - from a grand jury's standpoint.
- Why? John, I didn't leave anything out.
All right.
How do you explain the gun? Had to be stolen.
Without your knowledge? Look, I kept it in a trunk for years.
Took it out to oil it and clean it.
I haven't fired it since I got out of service.
But the guy that broke into that lab without leaving a trace could sure do it to my apartment.
Why not? Okay, John, give it to us straight.
What's your legal opinion? Unless we can find some evidence to bust up the frame, - you'll be indicted.
- How can they indict on such skimpy evidence? What's the motive? Give me the motive.
Look, I admit talking to Harry on the telephone, but I haven't seen him in three weeks.
Evidence may be circumstantial, but you've given nothing to discredit it.
Yeah, I know.
There's one thing.
At one point, when I was talking to the guy at the airport, he sounded kind of crazy.
Crazy? What do you mean? Most of the time he was together.
He was cool.
But when I told him we were gonna nail him no matter what, his whole attitude changed.
It was like talking to another person.
Well, try to remember exactly what he said.
It could be very important.
The gist of it was that I hunt people down, I put them away, even when they're innocent.
Oh, yeah, my conscience should be bothering me more.
Conscience? That's a strange word, isn't it? - Anything else? - Yeah, it's kind of bizarre.
It sounded like he was carrying on a conversation with himself the same time he was talking to me.
That's just great.
So, what we have, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is a psycho using Harry Oakland as a pawn and the nerve gas as a club.
Now the snitch is dead.
We don't have the psycho, we don't have the nerve gas and we're asking you not to indict.
I'm afraid that's not gonna make it.
I can hardly wait to read it in the papers.
Hey, wait a minute.
What about the papers? What if our psycho, if that's what he is, - has nothing to read in the papers? - You lost me.
Get me John Scott of the Star-Bulletin please.
Danno, pull all of the cases, say in the last five or six years, where you've used Harry Oakland as your source.
Get Chin to help you.
Maybe it'll ring a bell.
Right.
Am I under arrest, Steve? You're not gonna run away, are you, Danno? How can I? You canceled my reservation.
And so the situation in the Middle East remains unchanged with the OPEC nations still unwilling to commit themselves to any They must know.
They've had plenty of time.
And now the weather.
For Honolulu and vicinity, mostly cloudy - Weather? - with a few brief showers - The weather? - occurring more over the mountains.
Trade winds ten to 20 miles per hour.
The weather? The weather? Maybe it's in the paper.
It's gotta be in the paper.
It has to.
It has to be here.
Shut up! Shut up.
I know it's here.
I know it's here.
I'll find out.
I'll find out.
Here, boys.
- Still coming up empty, huh? - Yeah.
I never realized how much we used Harry's services.
I think he was underpaid.
McGarrett.
No, no, no.
Don't put him on yet.
Start a trace.
Here.
Sergeant Koa, put a trace on McGarrett's call.
Line two, right away.
All right, put him on.
McGarrett.
McGarrett? How come your buddy's not in jail where he belongs, huh? Answer me that? Who are you talking about, friend? Are you afraid of the evidence, McGarrett? It's all there, you know.
It's all there.
All I see is circumstantial evidence.
You're gonna have to do better than that.
Don't you know that somebody can be convicted solely on the basis of circumstantial evidence? What is your opinion of the cases where the accused is convicted solely on the basis of circumstantial evidence? No, no, no.
It has to be a lock.
We're nowhere near that with Officer Williams.
- Some other time, Mr.
Stevens.
- Oh, no, no, no.
I'll be brief.
Look, I don't know if you're really hearing me, McGarrett.
I don't know if you're hearing me.
Well, I hear you.
But you're not making much sense.
We had a lot more than that on your father, Stevens.
What do you mean? I mean sworn testimony from two underworld heavyweights, for instance, who said that your father was up to his neck in gambling in the rackets.
You're lying.
You're lying.
You are lying.
No, no.
No, no, it's all black and white.
If you wanna meet me some place, I'll show you the case file.
No.
I'm not gonna meet you anyplace, McGarrett.
I am gonna do what I promised.
I am gonna use that nerve gas, McGarrett, and you and Williams are both going to be blamed.
- Got it? - Got it.
Location? Thank you.
Phone booth near the llikai Hotel.
- Ilikai? - Yeah.
Get me Duke at the llikai Control Center, please.
Looks like his car.
Check it out, Chin.
Sergeant? McGarrett.
Any sign of the suspect? Not yet, Mr.
McGarrett.
Well, his car is here.
He must be around somewhere.
I wanna know the second you spot him.
Will do.
Okay, Danno, I'll take that.
Let's go.
- Oh, there he is.
- Get down.
Chin, let me see the glasses.
Sergeant, this is McGarrett.
The suspect is on the roof.
It looks like he has the nerve gas in a flare gun cartridge.
Do we proceed as planned, sir? Yes.
But make sure the other officers stay inside the temple.
Is that clear? Yes, sir.
He's on the roof.
McGarrett doesn't want any firing unless it's absolutely necessary to save lives.
Okay? Move out.
They should just about be in position, Mr.
McGarrett.
Yes.
Yes, I see them.
Brad.
Brad Stevens.
Look on both sides of you.
Look to your right.
Now, you don't have a chance.
The nerve gas cannot penetrate those uniforms.
Come on down.
You won't be harmed.
Steve, I got an idea.
I think I can talk him down.
- I think I can get to him.
- How? Well, let me try.
What have we got to lose? You, us, not to mention that H.
P.
D.
Team in there if he fires that nerve gas capsule.
No.
No, it's too risky, Danno.
So is crossing the street.
Okay.
Go.
I'll cover you.
Be careful.
They've trapped me.
I told you, they'd trap me.
Well.
Even if you do shoot, McGarrett, I can still fire this thing, you know! The way this stuff spreads, well, I could probably still kill some of that precious royal family of yours! Brad, that's not the royal family.
They're policemen and policewomen.
The royal family was moved to Maui this morning.
Now come down.
I don't care! You cared about your father.
He was a policeman.
You believed in him.
You loved him.
You killed my father.
Your father killed himself.
- You're lying! - No, Brad, I'm not.
He called me that day after he left the hearing room.
I don't wanna hear any more of that.
You're going to hear it.
Hear it all.
No, no.
He couldn't bring himself to face you.
No! Because you would know the truth.
That he was.
He was a corrupt cop.
Is he telling the truth, Dad? He's not telling the truth.
He can't be telling the truth.
Answer me, Daddy.
Please answer me.
Don't leave me.
Good, he's got him.
He's got him.
Now, the routes the royal family will be taking are well covered.
H.
P.
D.
Will provide us with any additional manpower we might need.
What about the airport? Red carpet will be down.
It'll be roped off from the aircraft to the car.
Excuse me.
Mr.
McGarrett, you have a call on line three.
- Oh, here.
Take it here.
- Oh, thank you.
- McGarrett.
- Steve, Chin.
We just got a hot call from a Mr.

He's research director at Kern Corporation.
Now, he's been trying to reach you.
Did he say what it was about, Chin? No.
But he did say it was an emergency situation.
And he won't speak to anyone but you.
- He really sounded upset.
- All right, Chin.
Danno should be finishing up that seminar at the university pretty soon, so pick him up and meet me there.
Will do, Steve.
The crime lab? No, I don't think it's more important than anything else.
I think what's needed most in police work is a good deal of patience and a good strong set of legs.
Well, I'm afraid that's about all the time we have for now.

Well Sorry for the interruption.
Danny.
- What's up? - Well, I'm not sure.
Steve wants us to meet him right away.
Okay.
Sorry.
I am gonna have to cut it short.
- Something's come up.
- Oh, no problem.
Believe me.
Okay.
- George.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Thank you.
Bye.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
You must understand, that this was no run-of-the-mill burglary.

Hello, Harry.
I thought we had an agreement.
You weren't gonna call me here anymore.
L I got something for you this time.
Big.
Really big.
It's an old song, Harry.
Better get someone else to write you some new material.
Does nerve gas ring a bell? - Should it? - Listen.
Only the guilty need be afraid.
That mean anything to you? Okay, Harry.

Harry.
Was that all right? Did I do okay? Terrific, Harry.
Just marvelous.

Not yet, Harry.
Not yet.
A little while.
Well, what happens now? We wait.
Okay, Harry.
Go ahead.
You alone? Yeah, I'm alone.
Where do we meet? Sure, I know where it is.
Oh, 20 minutes.
No, Harry, just me.
Right.
He's coming.
Good.

You better show or a lot of people are gonna die.

Tell me something, Harry.
Do you believe in people coming back from the dead? You don't, huh? Well, maybe this will make you a believer, Harry.

And my father doesn't like people who don't tell the truth.
Yeah.
Sergeant Stevens, right? Right.
Yeah.
Whatever happened to him? He committed suicide, Harry.
You and your friend Danny Williams killed him.
You killed him, Harry.
Tell him, father.
Isn't that right? Look, I didn't have anything to do with that.
It was Williams had your father suspended.
But you helped him, don't you see? No.
He asked me about your father taking payoffs.
But I didn't tell him a thing.
You told him everything, Harry.
You told him everything.
And it was all lies.
Circumstantial evidence, Harry.
I know, you see, because my father told me about it.
My father told me.
Don't worry.
I'm not gonna kill you, Harry.
Danny Williams is.
When I saw Harry laying there, I called you guys right away.
Okay, let's go back.
Are you absolutely sure it was Williams that was asking for him? What did he look like? Curly-headed guy, light blue suit.
Okay, so he went upstairs.
Did you see him later? Yeah.
He came down about five minutes later.
Five minutes? Are you sure about that? Yeah.
And he seemed to be in a big hurry too.
Has anyone else been around looking for Harry lately besides Williams? No.
Okay.
Thanks.
That'll be all for now.
Something weird's happening here.
We know Danny went upstairs, but we don't know for sure he even saw Harry.
Well, if he did see him, it must have been only minutes before he was murdered.
I better try to locate Danny.
Okay.
I'll get a backup out here to cover the premises and question the residents of this pleasure palace.
This is the final call for Flight 190 Now ready for departure at Gate 9.
Announcing Flight Announcing the departure Now making full boarding at Final call for Flight 190 Final call for Flight 190.
- Hello? - Only the guilty need be afraid.
You must be shaking in your shoes, eh, Danny boy? Who is this? A friend of Harry Oakland's.
He's gonna be a little late, but that's okay.
Now we'll have a chance to talk.
You got a name? All you need to know is that I'm the head of the organization Harry told you about.
We've got the nerve gas, kiddo.
And we've got a target all picked out.
You wanna know what it is? I'm listening.
Yeah, well, first I want you to listen to this and listen very attentively.
We've got spotters all over this airport.
You make a move to split or use the phones, then we make our strike.
No second chances.
- You got that? - I got it.
Good.
Well, it's target time.
Take a look out your window.
Got the picture, Williams? You're pretty confident, aren't you? What makes you think you can break through our security so easily? Oh, well, you're forgetting that what we have is a very silent, very versatile weapon.
And we have the technology to do the job even under the most adverse conditions.
Add to that, of course, the element of surprise.
Okay, it's your turn to listen, friend.
If any harm comes to the royal family or anyone else, we're gonna hunt you down and nail you no matter how long it takes us.
Oh, you're pretty good at that, aren't you? Tracking people down even when they're innocent.
Doesn't your conscience ever bother you? Doesn't it? I will not shut up.
I will not shut up.
He cannot talk to us like that.
Okay, okay.
Okay, you're right.
You are always right.
Okay.
We're moving into phase two.
After you hang up, I want you to move away from those phones.
Your next instructions will come from Harry Oakland.
He'll be along in a moment.
Why don't you give them to me yourself, hotshot? You'll find out soon enough.
Remember now, we're watching you.
Any move to contact your cop friends and you can say bye-bye.
- Operator.
- Hello, operator.
Give me the police.
Okay.
Let's go.
Let's move it.
Colonel, if you wish to depart from your itinerary, and I sincerely hope you don't, we'll need at least six hours advance notice.
I understand.
Are we free to move about within the hotel itself? Oh, of course.
Providing you have an escort.
And if we have any special Any emergency needs? There'll be people in the command post just down the hall 24 hours a day.
Now, any one of them will be glad to assist you in any way.
There'll be a guard outside your door.
Thank you very much.
You do your job well, Mr.
McGarrett.
Thank you, colonel.
Good luck.
Central to McGarrett.
Yeah, McGarrett.
What do you got? Steve, Chin.
Could you come to the office? There's something I have to show you.
Yeah, I'm on my way, Chin.
H.
P.
D.
Found this behind the hotel.
Serial number checks out.
It's Danny's old service automatic.
And the autopsy report says Oakland was killed with a.
45.
Could have been any.
45, not necessarily this one.
- Any prints on it? - Danny's.
All over it.
Steve, I'm sure Danny will have an explanation.
But we gotta find him first.
It's been a little over five hours now without any word.
Ballistics report in yet? - Should be out any time.
- Push time.
Steve, got a wild one for you.
An anonymous caller told us we'd find Harry Oakland's killer at the airport waiting to take the 6:00 flight to Los Angeles.
Said we'd recognize the name from the reservations list.
The name is Danny Williams.
Announcing Flight 14 to New York and Los Angeles now arriving at Gate - Officer Williams? - What do you guys want? - We've got orders to bring you in.
- Why? They didn't tell us.
There has to be some mistake.
Look, fellas, I'm walking a tightrope.
I shouldn't be seen with you guys.
What are you hassling for? Orders come direct from McGarrett.
Now come along quietly.
Okay, you blew it anyway.
But only on condition if you get through to Five-0 right away.
Tell them the royal family is not to leave.
Not even with an escort.
You got it? - I guess we can do that.
- Let's go.
Stand clear please.
Stand clear.
Steve, what the hell is going on? I was hustled out of that airport like a common criminal.
What's this all about? Sit down, Danno.
My message got through okay? The royal family is safe, but we've got problems.
Big ones.
Harry Oakland's been murdered.
- When? - This morning about 11:00.
I was there around 11.
I know.
Ballistics report just came in.
This is the murder weapon.
It's mine.
Yeah.
I realize now the organization is probably an organization of one.
But I had no way of knowing.
Any of those people in the airport could have been working for that guy.
So there I was, waiting for a dead man.
Okay.
Okay, let's run it down.
Somebody steals the nerve gas, gets to Harry and forces him to contact you.
Right? Now again through Harry, he gets you to the airport where you're totally vulnerable, he kills Harry with your service automatic then he calls in a plane reservation to L.
A.
In your name.
Then makes an anonymous call to Duke? Right.
I tell H.
P.
D.
To pick you up.
Now, again, this creep, somehow, he knows that when the officers arrive you're gonna resist.
You're gonna protest because of the threat to the royal family.
That's pretty neat, isn't it, John? Yeah.
And very thin - from a grand jury's standpoint.
- Why? John, I didn't leave anything out.
All right.
How do you explain the gun? Had to be stolen.
Without your knowledge? Look, I kept it in a trunk for years.
Took it out to oil it and clean it.
I haven't fired it since I got out of service.
But the guy that broke into that lab without leaving a trace could sure do it to my apartment.
Why not? Okay, John, give it to us straight.
What's your legal opinion? Unless we can find some evidence to bust up the frame, - you'll be indicted.
- How can they indict on such skimpy evidence? What's the motive? Give me the motive.
Look, I admit talking to Harry on the telephone, but I haven't seen him in three weeks.
Evidence may be circumstantial, but you've given nothing to discredit it.
Yeah, I know.
There's one thing.
At one point, when I was talking to the guy at the airport, he sounded kind of crazy.
Crazy? What do you mean? Most of the time he was together.
He was cool.
But when I told him we were gonna nail him no matter what, his whole attitude changed.
It was like talking to another person.
Well, try to remember exactly what he said.
It could be very important.
The gist of it was that I hunt people down, I put them away, even when they're innocent.
Oh, yeah, my conscience should be bothering me more.
Conscience? That's a strange word, isn't it? - Anything else? - Yeah, it's kind of bizarre.
It sounded like he was carrying on a conversation with himself the same time he was talking to me.
That's just great.
So, what we have, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is a psycho using Harry Oakland as a pawn and the nerve gas as a club.
Now the snitch is dead.
We don't have the psycho, we don't have the nerve gas and we're asking you not to indict.
I'm afraid that's not gonna make it.
I can hardly wait to read it in the papers.
Hey, wait a minute.
What about the papers? What if our psycho, if that's what he is, - has nothing to read in the papers? - You lost me.
Get me John Scott of the Star-Bulletin please.
Danno, pull all of the cases, say in the last five or six years, where you've used Harry Oakland as your source.
Get Chin to help you.
Maybe it'll ring a bell.
Right.
Am I under arrest, Steve? You're not gonna run away, are you, Danno? How can I? You canceled my reservation.
And so the situation in the Middle East remains unchanged with the OPEC nations still unwilling to commit themselves to any They must know.
They've had plenty of time.
And now the weather.
For Honolulu and vicinity, mostly cloudy - Weather? - with a few brief showers - The weather? - occurring more over the mountains.
Trade winds ten to 20 miles per hour.
The weather? The weather? Maybe it's in the paper.
It's gotta be in the paper.
It has to.
It has to be here.
Shut up! Shut up.
I know it's here.
I know it's here.
I'll find out.
I'll find out.
Here, boys.
- Still coming up empty, huh? - Yeah.
I never realized how much we used Harry's services.
I think he was underpaid.
McGarrett.
No, no, no.
Don't put him on yet.
Start a trace.
Here.
Sergeant Koa, put a trace on McGarrett's call.
Line two, right away.
All right, put him on.
McGarrett.
McGarrett? How come your buddy's not in jail where he belongs, huh? Answer me that? Who are you talking about, friend? Are you afraid of the evidence, McGarrett? It's all there, you know.
It's all there.
All I see is circumstantial evidence.
You're gonna have to do better than that.
Don't you know that somebody can be convicted solely on the basis of circumstantial evidence? What is your opinion of the cases where the accused is convicted solely on the basis of circumstantial evidence? No, no, no.
It has to be a lock.
We're nowhere near that with Officer Williams.
- Some other time, Mr.
Stevens.
- Oh, no, no, no.
I'll be brief.
Look, I don't know if you're really hearing me, McGarrett.
I don't know if you're hearing me.
Well, I hear you.
But you're not making much sense.
We had a lot more than that on your father, Stevens.
What do you mean? I mean sworn testimony from two underworld heavyweights, for instance, who said that your father was up to his neck in gambling in the rackets.
You're lying.
You're lying.
You are lying.
No, no.
No, no, it's all black and white.
If you wanna meet me some place, I'll show you the case file.
No.
I'm not gonna meet you anyplace, McGarrett.
I am gonna do what I promised.
I am gonna use that nerve gas, McGarrett, and you and Williams are both going to be blamed.
- Got it? - Got it.
Location? Thank you.
Phone booth near the llikai Hotel.
- Ilikai? - Yeah.
Get me Duke at the llikai Control Center, please.
Looks like his car.
Check it out, Chin.
Sergeant? McGarrett.
Any sign of the suspect? Not yet, Mr.
McGarrett.
Well, his car is here.
He must be around somewhere.
I wanna know the second you spot him.
Will do.
Okay, Danno, I'll take that.
Let's go.
- Oh, there he is.
- Get down.
Chin, let me see the glasses.
Sergeant, this is McGarrett.
The suspect is on the roof.
It looks like he has the nerve gas in a flare gun cartridge.
Do we proceed as planned, sir? Yes.
But make sure the other officers stay inside the temple.
Is that clear? Yes, sir.
He's on the roof.
McGarrett doesn't want any firing unless it's absolutely necessary to save lives.
Okay? Move out.
They should just about be in position, Mr.
McGarrett.
Yes.
Yes, I see them.
Brad.
Brad Stevens.
Look on both sides of you.
Look to your right.
Now, you don't have a chance.
The nerve gas cannot penetrate those uniforms.
Come on down.
You won't be harmed.
Steve, I got an idea.
I think I can talk him down.
- I think I can get to him.
- How? Well, let me try.
What have we got to lose? You, us, not to mention that H.
P.
D.
Team in there if he fires that nerve gas capsule.
No.
No, it's too risky, Danno.
So is crossing the street.
Okay.
Go.
I'll cover you.
Be careful.
They've trapped me.
I told you, they'd trap me.
Well.
Even if you do shoot, McGarrett, I can still fire this thing, you know! The way this stuff spreads, well, I could probably still kill some of that precious royal family of yours! Brad, that's not the royal family.
They're policemen and policewomen.
The royal family was moved to Maui this morning.
Now come down.
I don't care! You cared about your father.
He was a policeman.
You believed in him.
You loved him.
You killed my father.
Your father killed himself.
- You're lying! - No, Brad, I'm not.
He called me that day after he left the hearing room.
I don't wanna hear any more of that.
You're going to hear it.
Hear it all.
No, no.
He couldn't bring himself to face you.
No! Because you would know the truth.
That he was.
He was a corrupt cop.
Is he telling the truth, Dad? He's not telling the truth.
He can't be telling the truth.
Answer me, Daddy.
Please answer me.
Don't leave me.
Good, he's got him.
He's got him.
