Hawaii Five-0 s01e09 Episode Script
Po'ipu (The Siege)
[CHATTERING.]
I have a completely unscientific theory that the ability to put the week behind you is directly related to how much alcohol you consume.
- Is that right? - What are you drinking? A very powerful club soda.
Club soda's not part of my theory.
- Two Belvederes on the rocks.
- Right away.
- I'm Allison.
- I'm David.
And, uh, I'm also meeting someone.
Then I'll stay just long enough to make her jealous.
Thank you.
To your theory.

Tom Matthews, Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett and Detective Danny Williams from Five-0.
Tom runs security on the foreign aid summit.
- What do we know about this victim? - His name is David Atwater.
A diplomatic service agent assigned to General Pak's advance team.
General Pak is arriving today from Sandimar for the aid signing.
And a lot of people do not want General Pak here.
From what I see on the news, a lot of people don't want him alive.
Atwater was on the trail of one of these people.
He called Tom a few hours before his death saying that he had information about an assassination plot.
- Why not give details over the phone? - He said we had to meet.
We were scheduled to do that at the hotel bar last night.
Atwater didn't show.
Went to his room and found his body.
So you got the call and you found the body? If you wanna waste what little time we have investigating me, detective, go ahead.
I'll be in my office.
Gentlemen.
Whatever the threat assessment was, it's now changed.
Why don't we just postpone the general's trip? It is critical that General Pak attend this summit, McGarrett.
That's why the governor has you on this.
You're to find Atwater's killer and assist in protecting Pak and his family.
I'm sorry, did you say assist? Who am I assisting? LAURA: This is - No way.
What's up, bullfrog? - Ah, smooth dog.
Been a while.
McGARRETT: It's been a long time.
Uh, Nick served under me in the SEALs.
Three years in the 'Stan.
- In the 'Stan.
What is the 'Stan? - Afghanistan.
- Nick, my partner, Danny Williams.
- How you doing? - Good, how are you? McGARRETT: I figured you'd re-enlist.
- When did you get out? - Two years ago.
- Got my own shop now.
- All right, man.
After last night's breach, the Sandimar government decided to beef up their protective detail.
They hired Nick's firm to protect General Pak and his family.
- Of course.
DANNY: Wow.
So you got, uh, genocide, ethnic cleansing.
That's a great client you got.
You know, my team and I are here to do a job, just like you.
No, not just like me.
See, I'm a cop.
I don't get to choose who I protect.
You do and you choose this animal.
And I'm sure our pay grades, our rates are a little different.
LAURA: Okay, enough.
I'm gonna do a dry run, map out the AO and check the choke points.
McGARRETT: All right.
- Ha, ha.
What are you saying? Excuse me? Can you translate, smooth dog, huh? AO is the area of operation.
All the areas we need to put on full lockdown on General Pak's route from the airport to the summit site.
Choke points are areas where the motorcade could get slowed down or ambushed.
I got an idea.
If you guys are gonna keep talking like this, maybe we can get a dictionary.
All right.
Sorry about him.
It's good to see you.
- I'll call you later.
- All right.
All right.
[DANNY SCOFFS.]
- Are you jealous? It was jealousy.
DANNY: No.
- You don't like him, do you? - What gave it away? - You didn't like me at first either.
- Let me explain.
I will never like that cheese ball.
I get that you were built without a censor button.
But if we have to go to guns on this case, you'll be happy that he's on our side.
Okay, if we have to go to guns on this case, happy is not one of the emotions I will be expressing.
Okay? [McGARRETT AND DANNY SIGH.]
Wow.
A guy gets murdered right before he's about to blow the top off of an assassination plot.
The killer thinks that now nothing is standing in his way.
Yeah, except us.
No foreign dignitary has ever been killed on U.
S.
soil.
General Pak is not about to be the first.
Okay, kid, walk me through it.
Carotid was severed.
- Arterial spray on the wall.
- Good.
What else? Uh Okay, no forced entry.
No signs of a struggle.
By the looks of it, I'd say Agent Atwater invited his killer in.
Also got a shoe print, about a size 6.
Spiked heel.
Looks like our killer was female.
Maika'i loa, rookie.
McGARRETT: That's them in the top corner.
Oh, she bought him the drink.
- You never had that happen before? - Once, Niagara Falls.
Ah.
Can you, uh, forward the tape, please? Tell me, why would a trained agent, even off duty, hook up with a random woman while on assignment? I don't know.
Lonely people do stupid things.
Can you follow them? SECURITY GUARD: Here they are in the elevator and here they are in the hallway.
Check it out.
I mean, the camera never gets a full shot of her face.
- She knows all the blind spots.
DANNY: The girl did her homework.
Wait a minute.
Can you go back? Rewind the tape five seconds.
And zoom in.
McGARRETT: His hand's shaking.
That's performance anxiety.
Also Niagara Falls.
Can you, uh, rewind the tape back to the bar? Wait, wait, wait.
Go back.
Go back.
Go back.
Zoom in.
- She dropped something in his drink.
- A roofie.
You know, in small quantities, GHB is an aphrodisiac.
Uh-huh.
That would explain the animal kingdom behavior in the hallway.
Yeah, it would also explain him skipping a meeting that he set about a pending assassination attempt.
Answer a question.
Anything about this case bother you? - Everything about this bothers me.
- Why not kill the general in Sandimar? If it was me, I'd want to hit the general where his security detail is weakest.
In Sandimar, he's surrounded by an army.
I mean, the general never leaves Sandimar, so if they don't get him here, they don't get him.
Which means we have to find Atwater's killer before that happens.
What is that? - What's what? - That.
DANNY: That is a picture of Grace.
- No, not that.
That.
Oh, that's a visual aid.
Just a reminder of a better place.
- A visual aid? - Yeah.
Danny, this is a postcard, uh, of New Jersey.
DANNY: I know exactly what it is.
I bought it.
I'm not afraid to say it.
I miss home.
I'm a little homesick.
Okay? It's okay.
It's okay to be homesick.
I miss Sal's Steakhouse, Frankie's, Manny's.
You realize how much of your life revolves around food? You realize your life revolves around armed conflict? Let me ask you a question.
Where do people from New Jersey vacation? Um, I don't know.
I would imagine they vacation all over the place.
Okay, and you're, uh, aware of the fact that perhaps many people from New Jersey vacation here in Hawaii? - I'm sure some misguided people do.
- How many Hawaiians do you think - vacation in New Jersey? - I don't know.
I can help you with that answer if you want.
The answer is zero, Danny.
Because nobody here, except you, wants to be there.
Okay? Because aside from a couple of great singers, - New Jersey doesn't exactly scream - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
A few great singers? Sinatra.
- Springsteen.
- Right.
Few great sing? Jonathan Bon Jovi.
- I'm sorry, Bon Jovi? - Absolutely Bon Jovi.
- You serious? - Right up there.
"You Give Love A Bad Name.
" "Wanted Dead Or Alive.
" McGARRETT: Song titles.
- Classic song titles.
All I'm saying is it's cool with me if you want to have a photo of Grace.
But any other additions and decorations to the interior of this vehicle should be treated like a wire-tap request where you need my authorization.
You can ride in the trunk if you don't like it.
I'll get real Jersey up in this piece.
[HORNS HONKING.]
Look at this.
General Pak's got a fan club.
[SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY.]
This makes me so sick.
We might have to take a bullet for this guy.
If we do our job right, that's not gonna happen.
And even if we get her, I mean, what are the chances she's working alone? Not only are we gonna find her, we're gonna find her, then squeeze her to flip on her partners.
I want you to know something.
When I took an oath to protect people, General Pak is not who I had in mind.
Me neither.
We pulled a partial print off the "do not disturb" sign.
Everything else appeared to be wiped down.
We ran it.
No hits in the system yet.
- What's all this? - Well, you mentioned on the phone that you didn't have a clean full shot of the assassin's face, so I built one.
I pulled two different camera stills off the security footage.
This left full profile is from the bar.
And this right profile is from when they exited the elevator.
I grabbed bits and pieces from other shots and added them to the two base images and created a composite.
- Nice work.
- Wow, the guy built a face.
Okay, listen, add the prints you pulled and circulate this picture to H.
P.
D.
, NCIC, FBI, Interpol and Airport and Marine Securities.
Kono, keep digging into Pak's background.
I wanna know if he has any enemies at home - who wanna target him.
- Okay.
We also need a list, uh, of protestors that were at the summit that H.
P.
D.
has on a watch list for making threats.
I'll do that.
General Pak has a lot of people who hate him.
So don't confuse making a threat with being one.
Forget the cranks and focus on the people who actually have the means to pull something like this off.
Where you going? Back to the summit, review site protection detail.
- Call me if you get anything.
DANNY: You got it.
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
- Chin, what's up? - A parking valet at the hotel recognized that woman from the picture I composited.
He says he remembers her not only because she was uniquely beautiful, but also because she pulled up in a battered old Ford Taurus, slipped him $50 and asked him to keep it out front.
According to him, it was an interesting paradox.
Okay, tell me you got a plate.
CHIN HO: Yeah, I did.
Hotel logs plates whenever a car checks in.
It's for insurance purposes.
I'm heading to the house now with H.
P.
D.
Perfect.
I'll meet you there.
Cordon off the neighborhood.
Set a perimeter around the house.
What's the address? - I want her alive.
SWAT 1: Yes, sir.
McGARRETT: Go, go, go.
SWAT 1: Clear.
SWAT 2: Clear.
SWAT 3: Clear.
McGARRETT: Be aware, suspect may be holding civilians hostage.
SWAT 3: Kitchen's clear.
SWAT 1: All right, look around the back.
The house is secure, but you should see this.
SWAT 2: Secure.
SWAT 1: Lock it down for processing CHIN HO: Looks like enough fire power to take out the general.
McGARRETT: And his entire army.
Guys, in the garage.
McGARRETT: That's the woman who owns this house.
Used dishes in the sink.
Two weeks worth of uncollected mail.
Medical examiner thinks that's how long the body's been dead.
He's gotta wait for it to defrost before autopsy.
So our suspect kills the woman, takes her identity and uses her house - as a base of operations.
- Yeah.
[PHONE RINGS AND ANSWERING MACHINE CLICKS.]
MARGARET [ON TAPE.]
: This is Margaret.
I'm not home.
Leave a message.
[MACHINE BEEPS.]
STEPHANIE: Mom, it's Stephanie.
We just got back from Spain.
Wait till you see the photos.
Call me.
Love you.
Bye.
Call back and make the family notifications.
Danny just called.
He's at H.
P.
D.
He got a hit on a protestor organizer you're gonna wanna take a look at.
His name is Nae Shan.
Former member of General Pak's army.
Defected to Thailand and then he came here.
He's been at several protests against General Pak.
And H.
P.
D.
has him on multiple arrests including weapon sales.
Think this guy might be responsible for the arsenal in the next room? Whoever's behind this has to have local help.
Let's go say hello.
Hey, watch the door.
If he comes your way, don't let him get past you.
You got it.
KONO: Got eyes on him.
He's headed your way.
Hey, what's up, Nae Shan? You got a sec? Hey.
Hey.
Kono.
[GRUNTS.]
Nae Shan, Officer Kono Kalakaua.
How you doing today? - Why did you run? - I don't like police.
That's original.
I'm gonna ask you questions.
You're gonna give me answers.
If you lie to me, I'm gonna throw you and your family in an INS holding tank and then I'm gonna deport you back to Sandimar.
You understand? Good.
You're a person of interest in an assassination plot against General Pak.
You think I want to kill General Pak? I want to see him brought before an international court of justice.
I want to see him humiliated.
Death is too easy for General Pak.
He must admit what he did.
What did he do to you? General Pak's soldiers came in the morning when we were working in the fields.
They set fire to our houses.
Our crops.
They burned everything.
Shot two young men.
They said they were guerillas.
They were just boys.
And we tried to run, but they rounded us up and forced us to walk across the field.
They blindfolded the machine gunners.
It was a game to them.
They did not even aim.
They just pulled the triggers.
The officers laughed.
I watched as my oldest son and my sister I cannot close my eyes without seeing.
Now, those of us who were able to walk clear went into the jungle toward the border.
We walked for ten days with no food for the children, no medicine for the injured.
Many died.
And we were not the only village.
There were many.
A million people living in the jungle like animals.
I hate General Pak.
But I am no murderer.
[SPEAKING IN BURMESE.]
What did she just say? She wants to know why the police are protecting a monster like General Pak.
She asked how a man can do that and still call himself a man.
What is it with you? What do you do? Attract conflict? I'm gone for two hours and you have conducted two raids.
What do you got planned for lunch? - Did you run Nae Shan's alibi? - Yeah, he's clean.
Checks out.
What are you doing? Running additional background on Atwater.
- Something doesn't make sense.
- Okay, just please stop for a second.
We have a room full of guns.
All right? We need to be looking for the people that were hired to fire them.
Not investigating our murder victim, a decorated agent with a spotless record.
So how does your decorated agent know about this assassination plot? I don't know.
Okay? Same way we would.
An investigation, an informant.
No, Matthews said that nobody in the detail authorized an investigation.
And if it was an informant, why didn't he download Matthews on the first call? - Why demand a face-to-face? - I don't know.
He didn't wanna relay that kind of information over the phone.
Atwater said that he wanted to meet Matthews alone.
Maybe he was gonna report a threat inside the protective detail.
- Maybe someone he knew, a friend.
- Maybe Atwater was the inside man.
Part of the team behind these guns that are gonna be used for the assassination.
We have zero evidence connecting Atwater to this plot.
But why kill him? He's not running the detail.
He didn't set the route.
I mean, Atwater's an advance man.
What made Agent David Atwater so dangerous to these people that they had him killed before General Pak arrived? Wait a minute.
Hold on.
This hurts my head.
All right, if you're right and Atwater was compromised, the only reason he would call Matthews is to come clean, turn himself in.
Kill him before he can reveal the how and where.
- You're good.
- I know.
No luck with the assassin's photo canvas.
No hits at the airport or marinas yet.
Prints from the hotel room match prints from the dead woman's home.
It's the same killer.
And we also got a hit from the Interpol red notice.
CIA.
It's a locked NFN file.
National security.
Even you don't have the clearance required to view it.
Oh, good, so the killer's CIA? Ex-CIA would be my bet.
So does anyone know anyone that can open a locked CIA file? I might.
[PROTESTERS SHOUTING.]
McGARRETT: Nick, we ran the assassin's prints and composite through the data bases and got a hit.
We got a hit at Langley.
- Langley? - Yeah.
How long was she with the company? We don't know anything.
It's a locked file.
But, uh, I was kind of hoping you could help.
Well, a locked file goes all the way to the top, but I may know someone that can unlock it.
I'll make a call.
Ha, ha.
Come here for a second.
I mean, it must be really nice having friends that can open up a top-secret CIA black file.
It is.
I'm sorry, is there a question? What do you want to know? Who is that guy? Before he worked private security, Nick was Special Activities Division.
Special activities? What kind of special activities? S.
A.
D.
is the military arm of the CIA.
Oh, really? I thought you guys were Navy SEALs.
When you have certain specialties, you can be recruited into different units as needed.
- Are you gonna answer? - What do you wanna know? - What was his specialty? - It's classified information, Danny.
- Your specialty? - Can't tell you.
Okay, please, you have done this before.
Where was that? When exactly was that? I worked the other side.
The other side? The sniper rifle, is that your specialty? TAYLOR: Her name's Erica Raines.
She was with the company for nine years.
Recruited right out of college.
A virtual ghost in the community.
She's a mechanic and a very good one.
- A mechanic? - An assassin.
Mechanic? Ha, ha.
Okay.
Look.
Nick, can you just do me a favor and just stop? All right? From now on, the company is the CIA.
All right? The mechanic is the assassin.
And, please, let's stop referring to what you people do as "the community.
" You're not a community.
The Amish people, they have a community.
All right? Let's just say what things are.
Please? She specializes in seducing her targets and killing them.
She had an op go bad in Jordan.
Went off the grid for two years.
Next time she appeared on the agency's radar, she was a gun for hire with no loyalty to any government or organization.
Oh, good.
Maybe we can hire her to kill herself.
We got a hit on her picture canvas.
She's been spotted at Aloha Tower buying a ticket for Josephine Cruise Lines.
So she's trying to escape to another island.
- And fly out from there.
- We need her alive.
She's our only link to whoever's behind this assassination plot.
[CHATTERING.]
MAN: We got a table right over here.
WOMAN: Oh, that one's nice.
I got her.
I got her.
Show me your hands.
Show me your hands.
[PEOPLE SCREAMING.]
[WOMAN SHRIEKS.]
She's dead.
Can I ask you, what kind of an animal brings his wife and his kid to a place where he knows people are trying to kill him? The kind that loves a good photo op.
He wants people to see him as a father and a husband, not as a mass murderer.
Hey, did you get anything off the assassin's phone? No, H.
P.
D.
's scrubbing it now.
All right, look sharp.
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
Yeah? - Are you sure? - What's up? [CELL PHONE RINGS.]
McGarrett.
Phone dump on the assassin's phone just came back.
After she murdered Agent Atwater, she dialed Nick Taylor.
Taylor? Make the next right.
- Sir? - Take the next right.
- Hey! Hey! Hey! MRS.
PAK: Aah! We've been compromised.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
[GUNSHOT THEN MRS.
PAK SCREAMS.]
Get ready.
[BEEPS.]
Go! Go! Go! [GRUNTING.]
[CRYING.]
[McGARRETT GRUNTS.]
TAYLOR: Give him to me, no one else gets hurt.
McGARRETT: It's not gonna happen.
Chin, take out the engine.
[GRUNTING.]
Guys, get in the car.
Come on, let's go.
[KONO GRUNTS.]
DANNY: You okay? McGARRETT: Go.
- Is she bad? - She'll live.
Drive, drive, drive.
Come on.
Hey, what are we doing here? This is the closest and safest place I know.
We're gonna hole up here until H.
P.
D.
SWAT arrives.
- Taylor ever been here? McGARRETT: Never.
There's a first aid kit in the kitchen.
- Get it and see what you can do.
KONO: Okay.
McGARRETT: Danny, secure the back door.
Hey, look, everything's gonna be okay.
It's Steve McGarrett, Five-0.
I got shots fired.
Multiple agents down at scene.
Mokulua Drive.
Send H.
P.
D.
SWAT to 2727 Piikoi Street.
Inform all H.
P.
officers that Nick Taylor is the target.
Yeah, he's armed.
He's extremely dangerous.
- Won't be long.
- You saved my life.
Your team saved my family.
Why? It's my job.
Do me a favor and stand over there.
- Hey, what's your name? - Tun.
Tun.
I like that name.
Hey, Tun, can I tell you a secret? I'm scared too.
You have a gun.
Why are you scared? Just because I have a gun doesn't mean I don't get scared.
My father would be angry with me.
I'm not being a strong man.
Hey, when all those people started shooting, you didn't even cry.
And you never left your mommy's side.
You made sure she was safe.
That makes you a very strong man, Tun.
I'm gonna be right over there.
If you need anything, let me know, okay? Okay.
Help will be here soon.
Why do you think I brought my family here? I don't know.
You're a murderer.
Who cares? My family is here because I'm seeking political asylum.
That's why you couldn't postpone the trip, why everybody's trying to kill you.
Let me get this straight.
You commit all these horrible, horrible crimes, then you come over to the United States and say, "Hey, I'd like to make a deal now, please.
" I'm going to testify at the U.
N.
against a military junta and my chairman.
I'm going to admit to the world what I've done and pay for the crimes I committed.
McGARRETT: Well, that's good, man.
You should have told us.
Okay? Somebody should have told us.
The information was too dangerous.
That information is more dangerous if I don't have it.
My entire team could have been killed.
Not to mention your family.
My testimony will end the war.
The suffering.
You save me and my family and you save a country.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
DANNY: It's H.
P.
D.
[DOOR LOCKS CLICK.]
Those aren't cops.
Danny, get away from the door.
- Get away from the door.
- Back up.
Back up.
Where are the police? Where is help? Where's help? Help's not coming.
McGARRETT: How the hell did they know we're here? - My cell phone's dead.
- Same.
Internet too.
- Everything's dead.
- I got full bars.
Wait a minute.
Taylor's killed your signals and he's cloned mine.
- What? - He's cloned my cell phone.
Before, I wasn't taking to 911 operators.
I was talking to his team.
H.
P.
D.
has no idea where we are.
- I told you that I hated that guy.
- Danny, take the upstairs.
Chin, get the gas can off the bench in the shed.
General, bring your family.
No matter what happens, no matter what you hear, you stay in this room.
- You understand? - Yes.
Let's go.
Kono, find me some rags.
- I'm gonna head up with Danny.
- Go.
[CELL PHONE RINGING.]
Agent Atwater was working with us for months.
And he was fully prepared to kill the general for money, but he drew the line at his wife and child.
I don't share that conflict.
How about you, Steve? You son of a bitch.
TAYLOR: Are you really prepared to sacrifice your entire team and a woman and child for a corrupt general who's killed thousands of innocent people? I fought beside you, Nick, for years.
We were friends.
That's the only reason you're still alive.
Give me the general and no one else has to get hurt.
That's not gonna happen.
Well, then everyone in that house is dead.
What happened to you, Nick? TAYLOR: I killed for God and country for years.
And I figured it was about time I got paid for it.
Five million dollars to keep Pak from testifying.
And I'll cut you in, Steve.
All you gotta do is put a bullet in him.
You know what? I'll put a bullet in you first.
How's that? Well, I'm glad to see civilian life hasn't dulled your sense of humor.
You trained me, remember? I know your moves.
McGARRETT: Why don't you come here? I'll show you a couple of moves you missed.
You should have taken the deal.
By the way, that's a nasty cut on your eye.
TAYLOR: Move in.
- He's to the north, maybe 300 meters.
Stay down.
He's not gonna miss again.
KONO: They've gotta be getting close.
McGARRETT: This will slow them down.
[GRUNTS.]
Go, Kono, go! [YELLS.]
I'm out.
I'm out.
- Here they come.
KONO: Go.
[YELLS THEN GRUNTS.]
It was definitely the fall that killed him.
Yeah, definitely.
Stay here.
[McGARRETT GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING.]
McGARRETT: Aah! [YELLS.]
[PANTING.]
[SIRENS WAILING NEARBY.]
CHIN HO: H.
P.
D.
's here.
Chin, Kono, go check on the general and his family.
You have got to start doing a better job of picking your friends.
Tell me about it.
I picked you, didn't I? Yeah.
JUDGE: General.
I will accept whatever punishment the international court hands down for my crimes.
Today is the first day my son is proud of his father.
Thank you.
You okay? Yeah.
I should have known.
No, no, you shouldn't have.
How could you have known? - You knew.
- No, I suspected.
Big difference.
The view was different from where I was standing.
This guy Taylor was your friend.
He used that to his advantage.
This is really, really good news.
I mean, you are a human being.
Which is good news to me, because I had no idea.
Well, you got good instincts, partner.
- Longboards on me? - Absolutely.
Can I see your wallet, please? Last time you offered to buy me a drink, you conveniently left your wallet and I got stuck for the You don't have your wallet, do you? It's like I said, you got good instincts.
I have a completely unscientific theory that the ability to put the week behind you is directly related to how much alcohol you consume.
- Is that right? - What are you drinking? A very powerful club soda.
Club soda's not part of my theory.
- Two Belvederes on the rocks.
- Right away.
- I'm Allison.
- I'm David.
And, uh, I'm also meeting someone.
Then I'll stay just long enough to make her jealous.
Thank you.
To your theory.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER.]
Tom Matthews, Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett and Detective Danny Williams from Five-0.
Tom runs security on the foreign aid summit.
- What do we know about this victim? - His name is David Atwater.
A diplomatic service agent assigned to General Pak's advance team.
General Pak is arriving today from Sandimar for the aid signing.
And a lot of people do not want General Pak here.
From what I see on the news, a lot of people don't want him alive.
Atwater was on the trail of one of these people.
He called Tom a few hours before his death saying that he had information about an assassination plot.
- Why not give details over the phone? - He said we had to meet.
We were scheduled to do that at the hotel bar last night.
Atwater didn't show.
Went to his room and found his body.
So you got the call and you found the body? If you wanna waste what little time we have investigating me, detective, go ahead.
I'll be in my office.
Gentlemen.
Whatever the threat assessment was, it's now changed.
Why don't we just postpone the general's trip? It is critical that General Pak attend this summit, McGarrett.
That's why the governor has you on this.
You're to find Atwater's killer and assist in protecting Pak and his family.
I'm sorry, did you say assist? Who am I assisting? LAURA: This is - No way.
What's up, bullfrog? - Ah, smooth dog.
Been a while.
McGARRETT: It's been a long time.
Uh, Nick served under me in the SEALs.
Three years in the 'Stan.
- In the 'Stan.
What is the 'Stan? - Afghanistan.
- Nick, my partner, Danny Williams.
- How you doing? - Good, how are you? McGARRETT: I figured you'd re-enlist.
- When did you get out? - Two years ago.
- Got my own shop now.
- All right, man.
After last night's breach, the Sandimar government decided to beef up their protective detail.
They hired Nick's firm to protect General Pak and his family.
- Of course.
DANNY: Wow.
So you got, uh, genocide, ethnic cleansing.
That's a great client you got.
You know, my team and I are here to do a job, just like you.
No, not just like me.
See, I'm a cop.
I don't get to choose who I protect.
You do and you choose this animal.
And I'm sure our pay grades, our rates are a little different.
LAURA: Okay, enough.
I'm gonna do a dry run, map out the AO and check the choke points.
McGARRETT: All right.
- Ha, ha.
What are you saying? Excuse me? Can you translate, smooth dog, huh? AO is the area of operation.
All the areas we need to put on full lockdown on General Pak's route from the airport to the summit site.
Choke points are areas where the motorcade could get slowed down or ambushed.
I got an idea.
If you guys are gonna keep talking like this, maybe we can get a dictionary.
All right.
Sorry about him.
It's good to see you.
- I'll call you later.
- All right.
All right.
[DANNY SCOFFS.]
- Are you jealous? It was jealousy.
DANNY: No.
- You don't like him, do you? - What gave it away? - You didn't like me at first either.
- Let me explain.
I will never like that cheese ball.
I get that you were built without a censor button.
But if we have to go to guns on this case, you'll be happy that he's on our side.
Okay, if we have to go to guns on this case, happy is not one of the emotions I will be expressing.
Okay? [McGARRETT AND DANNY SIGH.]
Wow.
A guy gets murdered right before he's about to blow the top off of an assassination plot.
The killer thinks that now nothing is standing in his way.
Yeah, except us.
No foreign dignitary has ever been killed on U.
S.
soil.
General Pak is not about to be the first.
Okay, kid, walk me through it.
Carotid was severed.
- Arterial spray on the wall.
- Good.
What else? Uh Okay, no forced entry.
No signs of a struggle.
By the looks of it, I'd say Agent Atwater invited his killer in.
Also got a shoe print, about a size 6.
Spiked heel.
Looks like our killer was female.
Maika'i loa, rookie.
McGARRETT: That's them in the top corner.
Oh, she bought him the drink.
- You never had that happen before? - Once, Niagara Falls.
Ah.
Can you, uh, forward the tape, please? Tell me, why would a trained agent, even off duty, hook up with a random woman while on assignment? I don't know.
Lonely people do stupid things.
Can you follow them? SECURITY GUARD: Here they are in the elevator and here they are in the hallway.
Check it out.
I mean, the camera never gets a full shot of her face.
- She knows all the blind spots.
DANNY: The girl did her homework.
Wait a minute.
Can you go back? Rewind the tape five seconds.
And zoom in.
McGARRETT: His hand's shaking.
That's performance anxiety.
Also Niagara Falls.
Can you, uh, rewind the tape back to the bar? Wait, wait, wait.
Go back.
Go back.
Go back.
Zoom in.
- She dropped something in his drink.
- A roofie.
You know, in small quantities, GHB is an aphrodisiac.
Uh-huh.
That would explain the animal kingdom behavior in the hallway.
Yeah, it would also explain him skipping a meeting that he set about a pending assassination attempt.
Answer a question.
Anything about this case bother you? - Everything about this bothers me.
- Why not kill the general in Sandimar? If it was me, I'd want to hit the general where his security detail is weakest.
In Sandimar, he's surrounded by an army.
I mean, the general never leaves Sandimar, so if they don't get him here, they don't get him.
Which means we have to find Atwater's killer before that happens.
What is that? - What's what? - That.
DANNY: That is a picture of Grace.
- No, not that.
That.
Oh, that's a visual aid.
Just a reminder of a better place.
- A visual aid? - Yeah.
Danny, this is a postcard, uh, of New Jersey.
DANNY: I know exactly what it is.
I bought it.
I'm not afraid to say it.
I miss home.
I'm a little homesick.
Okay? It's okay.
It's okay to be homesick.
I miss Sal's Steakhouse, Frankie's, Manny's.
You realize how much of your life revolves around food? You realize your life revolves around armed conflict? Let me ask you a question.
Where do people from New Jersey vacation? Um, I don't know.
I would imagine they vacation all over the place.
Okay, and you're, uh, aware of the fact that perhaps many people from New Jersey vacation here in Hawaii? - I'm sure some misguided people do.
- How many Hawaiians do you think - vacation in New Jersey? - I don't know.
I can help you with that answer if you want.
The answer is zero, Danny.
Because nobody here, except you, wants to be there.
Okay? Because aside from a couple of great singers, - New Jersey doesn't exactly scream - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
A few great singers? Sinatra.
- Springsteen.
- Right.
Few great sing? Jonathan Bon Jovi.
- I'm sorry, Bon Jovi? - Absolutely Bon Jovi.
- You serious? - Right up there.
"You Give Love A Bad Name.
" "Wanted Dead Or Alive.
" McGARRETT: Song titles.
- Classic song titles.
All I'm saying is it's cool with me if you want to have a photo of Grace.
But any other additions and decorations to the interior of this vehicle should be treated like a wire-tap request where you need my authorization.
You can ride in the trunk if you don't like it.
I'll get real Jersey up in this piece.
[HORNS HONKING.]
Look at this.
General Pak's got a fan club.
[SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY.]
This makes me so sick.
We might have to take a bullet for this guy.
If we do our job right, that's not gonna happen.
And even if we get her, I mean, what are the chances she's working alone? Not only are we gonna find her, we're gonna find her, then squeeze her to flip on her partners.
I want you to know something.
When I took an oath to protect people, General Pak is not who I had in mind.
Me neither.
We pulled a partial print off the "do not disturb" sign.
Everything else appeared to be wiped down.
We ran it.
No hits in the system yet.
- What's all this? - Well, you mentioned on the phone that you didn't have a clean full shot of the assassin's face, so I built one.
I pulled two different camera stills off the security footage.
This left full profile is from the bar.
And this right profile is from when they exited the elevator.
I grabbed bits and pieces from other shots and added them to the two base images and created a composite.
- Nice work.
- Wow, the guy built a face.
Okay, listen, add the prints you pulled and circulate this picture to H.
P.
D.
, NCIC, FBI, Interpol and Airport and Marine Securities.
Kono, keep digging into Pak's background.
I wanna know if he has any enemies at home - who wanna target him.
- Okay.
We also need a list, uh, of protestors that were at the summit that H.
P.
D.
has on a watch list for making threats.
I'll do that.
General Pak has a lot of people who hate him.
So don't confuse making a threat with being one.
Forget the cranks and focus on the people who actually have the means to pull something like this off.
Where you going? Back to the summit, review site protection detail.
- Call me if you get anything.
DANNY: You got it.
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
- Chin, what's up? - A parking valet at the hotel recognized that woman from the picture I composited.
He says he remembers her not only because she was uniquely beautiful, but also because she pulled up in a battered old Ford Taurus, slipped him $50 and asked him to keep it out front.
According to him, it was an interesting paradox.
Okay, tell me you got a plate.
CHIN HO: Yeah, I did.
Hotel logs plates whenever a car checks in.
It's for insurance purposes.
I'm heading to the house now with H.
P.
D.
Perfect.
I'll meet you there.
Cordon off the neighborhood.
Set a perimeter around the house.
What's the address? - I want her alive.
SWAT 1: Yes, sir.
McGARRETT: Go, go, go.
SWAT 1: Clear.
SWAT 2: Clear.
SWAT 3: Clear.
McGARRETT: Be aware, suspect may be holding civilians hostage.
SWAT 3: Kitchen's clear.
SWAT 1: All right, look around the back.
The house is secure, but you should see this.
SWAT 2: Secure.
SWAT 1: Lock it down for processing CHIN HO: Looks like enough fire power to take out the general.
McGARRETT: And his entire army.
Guys, in the garage.
McGARRETT: That's the woman who owns this house.
Used dishes in the sink.
Two weeks worth of uncollected mail.
Medical examiner thinks that's how long the body's been dead.
He's gotta wait for it to defrost before autopsy.
So our suspect kills the woman, takes her identity and uses her house - as a base of operations.
- Yeah.
[PHONE RINGS AND ANSWERING MACHINE CLICKS.]
MARGARET [ON TAPE.]
: This is Margaret.
I'm not home.
Leave a message.
[MACHINE BEEPS.]
STEPHANIE: Mom, it's Stephanie.
We just got back from Spain.
Wait till you see the photos.
Call me.
Love you.
Bye.
Call back and make the family notifications.
Danny just called.
He's at H.
P.
D.
He got a hit on a protestor organizer you're gonna wanna take a look at.
His name is Nae Shan.
Former member of General Pak's army.
Defected to Thailand and then he came here.
He's been at several protests against General Pak.
And H.
P.
D.
has him on multiple arrests including weapon sales.
Think this guy might be responsible for the arsenal in the next room? Whoever's behind this has to have local help.
Let's go say hello.
Hey, watch the door.
If he comes your way, don't let him get past you.
You got it.
KONO: Got eyes on him.
He's headed your way.
Hey, what's up, Nae Shan? You got a sec? Hey.
Hey.
Kono.
[GRUNTS.]
Nae Shan, Officer Kono Kalakaua.
How you doing today? - Why did you run? - I don't like police.
That's original.
I'm gonna ask you questions.
You're gonna give me answers.
If you lie to me, I'm gonna throw you and your family in an INS holding tank and then I'm gonna deport you back to Sandimar.
You understand? Good.
You're a person of interest in an assassination plot against General Pak.
You think I want to kill General Pak? I want to see him brought before an international court of justice.
I want to see him humiliated.
Death is too easy for General Pak.
He must admit what he did.
What did he do to you? General Pak's soldiers came in the morning when we were working in the fields.
They set fire to our houses.
Our crops.
They burned everything.
Shot two young men.
They said they were guerillas.
They were just boys.
And we tried to run, but they rounded us up and forced us to walk across the field.
They blindfolded the machine gunners.
It was a game to them.
They did not even aim.
They just pulled the triggers.
The officers laughed.
I watched as my oldest son and my sister I cannot close my eyes without seeing.
Now, those of us who were able to walk clear went into the jungle toward the border.
We walked for ten days with no food for the children, no medicine for the injured.
Many died.
And we were not the only village.
There were many.
A million people living in the jungle like animals.
I hate General Pak.
But I am no murderer.
[SPEAKING IN BURMESE.]
What did she just say? She wants to know why the police are protecting a monster like General Pak.
She asked how a man can do that and still call himself a man.
What is it with you? What do you do? Attract conflict? I'm gone for two hours and you have conducted two raids.
What do you got planned for lunch? - Did you run Nae Shan's alibi? - Yeah, he's clean.
Checks out.
What are you doing? Running additional background on Atwater.
- Something doesn't make sense.
- Okay, just please stop for a second.
We have a room full of guns.
All right? We need to be looking for the people that were hired to fire them.
Not investigating our murder victim, a decorated agent with a spotless record.
So how does your decorated agent know about this assassination plot? I don't know.
Okay? Same way we would.
An investigation, an informant.
No, Matthews said that nobody in the detail authorized an investigation.
And if it was an informant, why didn't he download Matthews on the first call? - Why demand a face-to-face? - I don't know.
He didn't wanna relay that kind of information over the phone.
Atwater said that he wanted to meet Matthews alone.
Maybe he was gonna report a threat inside the protective detail.
- Maybe someone he knew, a friend.
- Maybe Atwater was the inside man.
Part of the team behind these guns that are gonna be used for the assassination.
We have zero evidence connecting Atwater to this plot.
But why kill him? He's not running the detail.
He didn't set the route.
I mean, Atwater's an advance man.
What made Agent David Atwater so dangerous to these people that they had him killed before General Pak arrived? Wait a minute.
Hold on.
This hurts my head.
All right, if you're right and Atwater was compromised, the only reason he would call Matthews is to come clean, turn himself in.
Kill him before he can reveal the how and where.
- You're good.
- I know.
No luck with the assassin's photo canvas.
No hits at the airport or marinas yet.
Prints from the hotel room match prints from the dead woman's home.
It's the same killer.
And we also got a hit from the Interpol red notice.
CIA.
It's a locked NFN file.
National security.
Even you don't have the clearance required to view it.
Oh, good, so the killer's CIA? Ex-CIA would be my bet.
So does anyone know anyone that can open a locked CIA file? I might.
[PROTESTERS SHOUTING.]
McGARRETT: Nick, we ran the assassin's prints and composite through the data bases and got a hit.
We got a hit at Langley.
- Langley? - Yeah.
How long was she with the company? We don't know anything.
It's a locked file.
But, uh, I was kind of hoping you could help.
Well, a locked file goes all the way to the top, but I may know someone that can unlock it.
I'll make a call.
Ha, ha.
Come here for a second.
I mean, it must be really nice having friends that can open up a top-secret CIA black file.
It is.
I'm sorry, is there a question? What do you want to know? Who is that guy? Before he worked private security, Nick was Special Activities Division.
Special activities? What kind of special activities? S.
A.
D.
is the military arm of the CIA.
Oh, really? I thought you guys were Navy SEALs.
When you have certain specialties, you can be recruited into different units as needed.
- Are you gonna answer? - What do you wanna know? - What was his specialty? - It's classified information, Danny.
- Your specialty? - Can't tell you.
Okay, please, you have done this before.
Where was that? When exactly was that? I worked the other side.
The other side? The sniper rifle, is that your specialty? TAYLOR: Her name's Erica Raines.
She was with the company for nine years.
Recruited right out of college.
A virtual ghost in the community.
She's a mechanic and a very good one.
- A mechanic? - An assassin.
Mechanic? Ha, ha.
Okay.
Look.
Nick, can you just do me a favor and just stop? All right? From now on, the company is the CIA.
All right? The mechanic is the assassin.
And, please, let's stop referring to what you people do as "the community.
" You're not a community.
The Amish people, they have a community.
All right? Let's just say what things are.
Please? She specializes in seducing her targets and killing them.
She had an op go bad in Jordan.
Went off the grid for two years.
Next time she appeared on the agency's radar, she was a gun for hire with no loyalty to any government or organization.
Oh, good.
Maybe we can hire her to kill herself.
We got a hit on her picture canvas.
She's been spotted at Aloha Tower buying a ticket for Josephine Cruise Lines.
So she's trying to escape to another island.
- And fly out from there.
- We need her alive.
She's our only link to whoever's behind this assassination plot.
[CHATTERING.]
MAN: We got a table right over here.
WOMAN: Oh, that one's nice.
I got her.
I got her.
Show me your hands.
Show me your hands.
[PEOPLE SCREAMING.]
[WOMAN SHRIEKS.]
She's dead.
Can I ask you, what kind of an animal brings his wife and his kid to a place where he knows people are trying to kill him? The kind that loves a good photo op.
He wants people to see him as a father and a husband, not as a mass murderer.
Hey, did you get anything off the assassin's phone? No, H.
P.
D.
's scrubbing it now.
All right, look sharp.
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
Yeah? - Are you sure? - What's up? [CELL PHONE RINGS.]
McGarrett.
Phone dump on the assassin's phone just came back.
After she murdered Agent Atwater, she dialed Nick Taylor.
Taylor? Make the next right.
- Sir? - Take the next right.
- Hey! Hey! Hey! MRS.
PAK: Aah! We've been compromised.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
[GUNSHOT THEN MRS.
PAK SCREAMS.]
Get ready.
[BEEPS.]
Go! Go! Go! [GRUNTING.]
[CRYING.]
[McGARRETT GRUNTS.]
TAYLOR: Give him to me, no one else gets hurt.
McGARRETT: It's not gonna happen.
Chin, take out the engine.
[GRUNTING.]
Guys, get in the car.
Come on, let's go.
[KONO GRUNTS.]
DANNY: You okay? McGARRETT: Go.
- Is she bad? - She'll live.
Drive, drive, drive.
Come on.
Hey, what are we doing here? This is the closest and safest place I know.
We're gonna hole up here until H.
P.
D.
SWAT arrives.
- Taylor ever been here? McGARRETT: Never.
There's a first aid kit in the kitchen.
- Get it and see what you can do.
KONO: Okay.
McGARRETT: Danny, secure the back door.
Hey, look, everything's gonna be okay.
It's Steve McGarrett, Five-0.
I got shots fired.
Multiple agents down at scene.
Mokulua Drive.
Send H.
P.
D.
SWAT to 2727 Piikoi Street.
Inform all H.
P.
officers that Nick Taylor is the target.
Yeah, he's armed.
He's extremely dangerous.
- Won't be long.
- You saved my life.
Your team saved my family.
Why? It's my job.
Do me a favor and stand over there.
- Hey, what's your name? - Tun.
Tun.
I like that name.
Hey, Tun, can I tell you a secret? I'm scared too.
You have a gun.
Why are you scared? Just because I have a gun doesn't mean I don't get scared.
My father would be angry with me.
I'm not being a strong man.
Hey, when all those people started shooting, you didn't even cry.
And you never left your mommy's side.
You made sure she was safe.
That makes you a very strong man, Tun.
I'm gonna be right over there.
If you need anything, let me know, okay? Okay.
Help will be here soon.
Why do you think I brought my family here? I don't know.
You're a murderer.
Who cares? My family is here because I'm seeking political asylum.
That's why you couldn't postpone the trip, why everybody's trying to kill you.
Let me get this straight.
You commit all these horrible, horrible crimes, then you come over to the United States and say, "Hey, I'd like to make a deal now, please.
" I'm going to testify at the U.
N.
against a military junta and my chairman.
I'm going to admit to the world what I've done and pay for the crimes I committed.
McGARRETT: Well, that's good, man.
You should have told us.
Okay? Somebody should have told us.
The information was too dangerous.
That information is more dangerous if I don't have it.
My entire team could have been killed.
Not to mention your family.
My testimony will end the war.
The suffering.
You save me and my family and you save a country.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
DANNY: It's H.
P.
D.
[DOOR LOCKS CLICK.]
Those aren't cops.
Danny, get away from the door.
- Get away from the door.
- Back up.
Back up.
Where are the police? Where is help? Where's help? Help's not coming.
McGARRETT: How the hell did they know we're here? - My cell phone's dead.
- Same.
Internet too.
- Everything's dead.
- I got full bars.
Wait a minute.
Taylor's killed your signals and he's cloned mine.
- What? - He's cloned my cell phone.
Before, I wasn't taking to 911 operators.
I was talking to his team.
H.
P.
D.
has no idea where we are.
- I told you that I hated that guy.
- Danny, take the upstairs.
Chin, get the gas can off the bench in the shed.
General, bring your family.
No matter what happens, no matter what you hear, you stay in this room.
- You understand? - Yes.
Let's go.
Kono, find me some rags.
- I'm gonna head up with Danny.
- Go.
[CELL PHONE RINGING.]
Agent Atwater was working with us for months.
And he was fully prepared to kill the general for money, but he drew the line at his wife and child.
I don't share that conflict.
How about you, Steve? You son of a bitch.
TAYLOR: Are you really prepared to sacrifice your entire team and a woman and child for a corrupt general who's killed thousands of innocent people? I fought beside you, Nick, for years.
We were friends.
That's the only reason you're still alive.
Give me the general and no one else has to get hurt.
That's not gonna happen.
Well, then everyone in that house is dead.
What happened to you, Nick? TAYLOR: I killed for God and country for years.
And I figured it was about time I got paid for it.
Five million dollars to keep Pak from testifying.
And I'll cut you in, Steve.
All you gotta do is put a bullet in him.
You know what? I'll put a bullet in you first.
How's that? Well, I'm glad to see civilian life hasn't dulled your sense of humor.
You trained me, remember? I know your moves.
McGARRETT: Why don't you come here? I'll show you a couple of moves you missed.
You should have taken the deal.
By the way, that's a nasty cut on your eye.
TAYLOR: Move in.
- He's to the north, maybe 300 meters.
Stay down.
He's not gonna miss again.
KONO: They've gotta be getting close.
McGARRETT: This will slow them down.
[GRUNTS.]
Go, Kono, go! [YELLS.]
I'm out.
I'm out.
- Here they come.
KONO: Go.
[YELLS THEN GRUNTS.]
It was definitely the fall that killed him.
Yeah, definitely.
Stay here.
[McGARRETT GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING.]
McGARRETT: Aah! [YELLS.]
[PANTING.]
[SIRENS WAILING NEARBY.]
CHIN HO: H.
P.
D.
's here.
Chin, Kono, go check on the general and his family.
You have got to start doing a better job of picking your friends.
Tell me about it.
I picked you, didn't I? Yeah.
JUDGE: General.
I will accept whatever punishment the international court hands down for my crimes.
Today is the first day my son is proud of his father.
Thank you.
You okay? Yeah.
I should have known.
No, no, you shouldn't have.
How could you have known? - You knew.
- No, I suspected.
Big difference.
The view was different from where I was standing.
This guy Taylor was your friend.
He used that to his advantage.
This is really, really good news.
I mean, you are a human being.
Which is good news to me, because I had no idea.
Well, you got good instincts, partner.
- Longboards on me? - Absolutely.
Can I see your wallet, please? Last time you offered to buy me a drink, you conveniently left your wallet and I got stuck for the You don't have your wallet, do you? It's like I said, you got good instincts.
