( grunting ) ( yells ) You bucked the system, Charlie.
We can't let you buck the system.
'Cause other guys start.
What we got then, huh? No system, Charlie.
I told you what you can do with your lousy system.
We gotta live by the system in this box.
Or we die by it.
I don't need you or your system.
You gotta wait on our table.
You serve us the best steaks out of that lousy kitchen.
You need to respect, boy.
You got to be taught that.
Respect for the system.
Now, we're gonna teach ya, Charlie.
We're gonna teach you good.
I'll see you in hell first! Chicken, get over there! Turn around, the three of you.
What's going on--? Freeze! Better give me that gun, Swanson.
No chance.
You'll never make it, Charlie.
How can I blow it? I got the iron.
I gotta bust out of here.
( groans ) I've been waiting for this a long time.
Not enough.
I got you, Glen! So either they open that gate, or I'm gonna send them one dead man.
Move over there.
Charlie Move! Maybe more than one.
Yeah, I kind of like that.
( upbeat surf theme playing ) ( suspenseful theme playing ) Hey, I'll go with you, huh, Charlie? Look, I got nothing to lose.
I'm serving hard time.
I got no parole.
Who needs you? You stay with the system.
You're just a stooge.
TOSHI: You say you don't need him? How you know, brother? Look, it's a long walk to that gate, Charlie.
Look, just take us both.
We get outside, we spread out.
He's right, Charlie.
Take us both.
What do you say, brother? I'm gonna need more hostages.
Tell us how, you'll get 'em.
Okay.
Hey, what are you doing? You don't need bullets.
You shoot, you blow it, right? Well, I f-feel better with bullets.
My way! So, what do we do, Charlie? Tommy, you think you can make it to the guards' coffee room right now? Sure.
Okay.
Bring me back whoever you find there, got that? Good as done.
Tosh? Yeah.
Doc Patchett ought to be in his office right now.
He'd be a good one.
You want doc? You got him.
So move.
Looks like you're gonna have company.
( suspenseful theme playing ) On your feet.
Now! Something wrong, doc? Yeah.
In the shower room.
You better come along, man.
It's terrible.
Hold it.
Against the wall.
Up against the wall like them other brothers.
Can I help that man? Be my guest, doc.
What happens now, Charlie? What happens now? You give me back the guns, get over against the wall.
What are you talking about? Man, we're with you.
Hey, man.
No more, you're not.
Come here.
Give it to me.
TOSHI: You said we was! Come on.
Move.
You, Eddie, come here.
Come on.
If I don't get this man to a hospital, he'll die.
That's tough, doc.
Poor Frank.
You tell Captain Wade I now got six hostages, and I want that gate opened.
Either the door swings, or I start sending him bodies.
You got that? Yeah.
Yeah.
So go tell him.
( alarm wailing ) ( action theme playing ) What do we got? Swanson's leading a break.
He's holed up in the shower room.
Is he one of yours, McGarrett? Yeah.
He got a gun? Yeah.
Where'd he get it? Smuggled in.
No way of stopping contraband till we get a new prison here.
How many inmates are in the shower with him? Seven.
Including six hostages.
My God.
Thirteen men.
We don't open the gates, he starts killing.
Charlie the only leader of the bust-out? No question.
Doesn't wash.
Charlie's a thief, not a killer.
Charlie says he's gonna start killing.
I take him at his word.
Any trouble with the other inmates? All in their cells, under control.
The riot squad's standing by just in case.
Putting a couple of riflemen up on the walls? Three sharpshooters.
Start setting up the press room for the reporters before they start banging in the gates.
Governor call yet? Yeah.
No shooting unless absolutely necessary.
Right.
There's no way to fire in at him, or even lob tear gas, with those two guards where they are.
We've got them covered from all angles.
Is there somebody he cares about? A wife, girlfriend? There's nobody.
He's a loner.
Let's see if he'll talk, huh? Swanson, this is McGarrett, 5-0.
Charlie, this is McGarrett.
I'm here with Captain Wade.
I hear you, McGarrett.
You get my message, Captain Wade? You know we're not gonna open the gates for you, Charlie.
You better think that over.
I got six hostages in here.
No trouble at all to make that five.
You want me to send you a body to prove I mean what I say? What's the beef, Charlie? What started all this? I shot a guy! He's in here bleeding on the floor.
I got nothing to lose now, McGarrett.
You and Captain Wade wanna try living with six dead men on your conscience? Open the gate! Charlie, is the man you shot dead yet? Almost, but not quite.
Charlie, let somebody bring him out, put him in a hospital.
If he lives, you're off the hook.
No chance.
Use your head, Charlie.
You listen to me, McGarrett.
I got you in a box.
I'm giving ya 15 minutes.
Then I'm gonna dump one of these hostages out in that yard with his head blown off.
We could put men over the wall here, bring them down on top of the shower room.
Prepared to try it, but the roof is metal.
Swanson would hear us.
What about tear gas? We could get men within easy range on the wall here, here, here.
There's plenty of cover in and around the recreation building.
Even if we got the tear gas in, he could start shooting the hostages before it took effect.
So it's a standoff.
We're not that lucky.
McGARRETT: In about six minutes, Swanson's gonna start killing those hostages.
That's no standoff.
We could spread out the riflemen.
Put two on the building here, one on the wall here.
That'll give us the best coverage of the yard and the shower-room door.
Kono.
New position.
Set up a walkie-talkie communication system, but absolutely no shooting unless we give a direct order.
Right, boss.
DANNY: Steve.
Five minutes.
Well, he called it.
He's got us in a box.
All right, let's take it from the top.
What do we got? Guards around the prison.
( tense theme playing ) WADE: No one gets by them.
We got ladders at the wall here.
Men experienced in riot control.
No trouble going over the wall, but he'd hear us.
How long would it take? Forty, maybe 50 seconds.
Even so the yard is covered.
There's no place for them to go.
Then that's it.
Nothing, absolutely nothing.
We're kidding ourselves.
With sharpshooters on the walls, Swanson's not gonna show himself.
And even if he did, anything but a killing shot would only make it tougher on the hostages.
Four minutes, boss.
Danno, you remember Swanson from the trial.
You figure him to back down? Never.
No way.
Captain? He's gone too far to back down now.
He has a 24-karat hard head.
Yeah.
But what if we could give him an out, huh? What if I could give him an alternative so that he could change his mind and not look like he was backing down.
That'd change the whole situation.
Give him a whole new option.
DANNY: Sure, a new option.
But what option? About two and a half minutes left, boss.
Charlie? Charlie? Charlie? Time for a summit meeting, Charlie? What are you talking about? What you're thinking about.
I mean, uh, I ain't just some innocent bystander, right? Yeah, well, see, I'm just calling the shots for Charlie Swanson.
No one else.
( grunts ) Gee, Charlie.
I didn't mean to be presumptuous.
It's just that the sound of McGarrett's voice grates on my nerves, you know? See I hate his living insides.
I do, indeed.
McGARRETT: Charlie? Charlie? Thirty seconds, Charlie.
Charlie? Twenty-five seconds.
He's gonna answer with a shot.
Charlie Swanson.
Twenty seconds, Charlie.
Now.
Please, now.
You just made it, McGarrett.
Is that gate open? I wanna make a deal with you, Charlie.
CHARLIE: Oh, no.
I told you, McGarrett.
No deals.
My way or no way.
It won't cost you anything to listen to my offer.
So talk.
A trade, Charlie.
Me for the hostages.
You can't go in there, McGarrett.
Swanson will wipe you out.
And Big Chicken's waiting.
DANNY: Toshi and Tommy, they hate your guts.
Good as dead, boss.
McGARRETT: What do you say, Charlie? Say that again, McGarrett.
A deal, Charlie.
Me for the hostages.
What's the gag? No gag.
I'm leveling.
We're out of time, and I don't want you to kill any hostages.
What do you say, Charlie? Me for them.
Okay, McGarrett, you just made yourself a deal.
( laughing ): Hey, a true command decision, Charlie.
You send the hostages out.
Start them this way.
I'll walk toward you.
We pass in the middle.
Agreed? Oh, no.
What happens while you're walking? I'm in here with no insurance.
No, no.
You come in here.
When you get here, these guys'll walk.
Take it or pass.
Pass, McGarrett.
He won't let the others go.
He might.
But even if he doesn't, I'll be inside.
DANNY: Steve, you can't.
It's suicide.
Anyway, we wouldn't be any further ahead, so it'd just be a waste.
Well, it's working so far.
We're over the time limit.
He hasn't killed anybody yet.
McGarrett, what do you say? Look, what other choice is there? Just let him shoot the hostages? Kill 'em off one at a time until he runs out of fresh meat? Then make a pass at him? No, anything's better than that.
Hey, McGarrett, what's the matter? You fall in? What do you say? I'm coming in, Charlie.
If you hear a shot, order a rush.
Wall of smoke, tear gas, Mace, anything, but get there fast.
There's no help once you get inside, McGarrett.
Think again.
CHARLIE: McGarrett, are you backing out? I'm coming in now, Chuck.
Here, Danno.
( suspenseful theme playing ) That's good right there.
You guys stand fast.
You let him come around you.
Around on this side, McGarrett.
Welcome, Mr.
McGarrett.
Welcome.
CHARLIE: This way.
That's good right there.
Hands behind your head.
Turn around.
Turn around.
Don't think I'd bring you another gun, do you, Charlie? Okay, let them go.
We had a deal.
I kept my end, you keep yours.
You didn't think I was gonna let them go, did ya? You're not that stupid.
Why did ya come in here? I figured your word was good, Charlie.
My word won't open that gate.
The hostages will.
That's all that matters now.
What if they did open a gate? Where would you go? No place to hide on this rock.
No place to hide, no way off.
CHARLIE: One thing at a time.
First I get out of this hole, and then I make my move.
Is that gate open? You know it's not, and it's not gonna be.
All right, I'm gonna turn this shower into a butcher shop.
Herb, get over here.
Hold it, Herb.
Stay put.
Look, Charlie, think.
Think.
There's no way back from murder.
Now, don't be stupid.
Look who he's calling stupid, Charlie.
( laughs ) He just waltzed right in here, and he's calling you stupid? Who's dealin' for the governor now that you're in here? Captain Wade and Danny Williams.
Well, now you just tell His Excellency I'll start my lunch with a little caviar, maybe some pâté and a nice, big, juicy-- Shut up, Chicken! Get over there.
Get over there! All right, Charlie, all right.
Herb, get over here, or I'll kill you-- Wait a minute, Charlie.
It'll be your life for his life.
You get over there.
Move! It's my life anyway.
My life in this hellhole! With this system! No way for me to live with that! I gotta get out or the system gets me.
I got nothin' to lose now, McGarrett! Nothing! You just spoke my innermost thoughts, Charlie.
Why kill Herb? Why not kill McGarrett? ( ominous theme playing ) Hm.
Yeah.
Yeah? Why not? That's right, governor.
McGarrett's still in there.
We'll just have to wait till the next move.
Well, so far there's no way to move straight in.
Not without losing those hostages to Charlie Swanson.
Of course, governor.
The minute anything happens, I'll let you know.
Mahalo.
The governor's plenty worried, huh? Yes, he knows as well as any of us what we're up against.
Sick about it.
Wishes us good luck.
Steve is going to need plenty of it.
( phone buzzes ) Yes? That's right, scope rifles, all three of them.
Take the positions indicated and wait for orders.
( door opens ) Anything? No.
No further word from the shower-room area.
Steve could be dead in there right now.
No.
Charlie Swanson's smart enough not to blow his last chance of getting out alive.
Maybe he figures it's already blown, and there's nothing left to do but start sending out dead bodies.
He knows what will happen then.
That won't stop him unless he can figure another way.
That's why Steve went in.
To show him another way.
If he can find one.
There's nothing we can do about that, Danny.
That's up to Steve.
We got our own work to do.
Yeah.
Okay, where do we stand? Sharpshooters moving into position.
Three of the best riflemen I have.
Everything else is ready.
The riot squad, smoke grenades, tear gas.
Has Kono set up the communication system with the walkie-talkies? All set.
We'll hear the minute anything breaks.
Chin, why don't you give Kono a hand.
I can't have a communication breakdown.
Good as done, Danny.
What about the reporters? They're gathered in the press room.
Any word comes in, I'll contact you there.
Captain one favor.
If something goes wrong out there, let somebody else handle the press.
I want some time with Charlie Swanson.
Kill him, Charlie.
Kill him! He killed us when he put us in here! I left some orders, Charlie.
You pull that trigger, and you're dead.
They hear one shot, one, and they'll come tearing in here and rip you open.
So killing me is the same as killing yourself.
You want to stay alive, you keep me alive.
CHICKEN: Charlie.
Charlie.
Lemme help ya.
I mean, you got a lot of thinkin' to do, right? Well, I can watch these guys for ya.
You can kill McGarrett for me, that's what you mean.
You gotta trust somebody, Charlie.
Too many guys to watch.
Too much to do for one guy.
I mean, this is a bloody war, man, ain't it? What do you say, Charlie? All right, all right.
But McGarrett is mine, remember that.
Don't.
Don't, Charlie.
Giving him a gun is a mistake.
A big mistake.
Hey! Listen to me.
Chicken and me, we're both on the inside, and we're chokin' to death in this rat hole.
That's the way to talk, Charlie, baby.
He's a loser.
He's a loser, Charlie.
( chuckles ) He's a slimy dope-pusher.
He's like you like oil is like water.
Wet, but they never mix.
Thanks a lot, McGarrett.
I'm callin' the shots.
Uhwouldn't the automatic be better, Charlie? I mean, this ain't much good if they try to jump ya.
No.
One bullet is enough, Chicken.
If they move, you shoot.
I'll take it from there.
But you got the other automatic.
One bullet is enough, Chicken! I was just thinking-- Load the gun.
This man needs a blood transfusion.
Needs the bullet removed.
If I don't get him to a hospital, he'll die.
I didn't shoot him so he'd feel better, doc.
Please, Charlie, let the doc take him out.
If he lives, you got a chance for parole someday.
When?! When he's 80?! When I'm 80? Listen, whether Frank lives or dies don't mean nothin' to us now.
The only thing means anything, is we gotta get out of here.
And we will, if we gotta walk on corpses all the way to that gate.
So don't you stand there, drownin' us with your two-bit morality.
And I just gave you all the facts, cop.
Chicken is right, McGarrett.
You're here for one reason only: to help us bust out.
( suspenseful theme playing ) ( all chattering ) All right, fellas.
All right, fellas.
Fellas, hold it! You know we won't get anywhere if you all talk at once.
We have deadlines, Williams.
All right, there's been no change since the initial release from the governor.
That was over an hour ago.
So, what's new? We get pictures? Anything? Inside the prison? No chance.
What are you trying to do, Williams? Manage the news, control the press? You know better.
All we want is the simple truth.
You're saying we just print cheap and sensational headlines? Your words, not mine.
Then tell us how those prisoners got the guns? This is Hawaii State Prison, not Leavenworth.
This place is like a sieve.
It's like a box with an open lid.
Almost anything can get in from the outside.
The governor, the legislature, the department of corrections have been screaming about this institution for the last 20 years.
That's right, everybody's screaming.
Everybody agrees we need a new prison, but nothing happens.
What's the hang-up, Mr.
Williams? The hang-up is geography, pure and simple.
Where to put it? A political football.
Yes.
We've got seven lives on the line.
He kill any of those hostages yet? No.
One was supposed to go That's what the inmates threatened.
What stopped them? McGarrett.
Where's McGarrett now? He's in the shower room with the inmates.
( tense theme playing ) Ahhh.
Not bad.
Not bad, McGarrett.
How much you pay for your ties, huh? Huh? ( scoffs ) You cruddy cop.
( spits ) Before you put me in here, I spent more for my shoelaces than you spent on that lousy suit of yours! Sure.
I'm a cop.
You're a dope-pusher.
Before long, you're gonna be a dead cop, McGarrett.
You like zinging me, Chicken? I like killing you better, McGarrett.
Come on.
Come on.
Just take a little step.
Oh, no.
No, no.
If you're gonna do it, you're gonna do it on your own.
I'm not gonna help you.
Hold it, Chicken.
Hold it! McGarrett, walk halfway over here, hands behind your back.
Get Danny Williams out here! Kono.
Right.
Swanson wants to talk to Danny.
I'll get him right away.
Whatever you're thinking, Charlie, it's not gonna work.
Oh, it'll work.
'Cause I got seven hostages.
Sure.
Sure, you can kill seven people, maybe more, but that's not gonna open the gate.
Keeping Frank alive is the only thing that's gonna get you out of here.
You ought to know better than that, McGarrett.
Frank lives, he's gotta come after me.
And in this place, he won't have far to go.
You afraid of him, Charlie? Him? No.
The system? Yes.
Can't beat it.
Frank controls pills, junk.
That's as big as you can get.
Gives him lots of muscle, lots of juice.
Any one of 30 guys could put a bullet or a knife right through me.
You could get protection, Charlie.
In this box? Never, no way.
Then change it.
What did you say? Change it! Don't put up with it.
Come on, McGarrett, this place will never change.
It'll be the same till it rots and falls apart.
Then they'll glue it back together again, it'll stay the same for another 20 years.
Charlie Swanson.
This is Williams.
Get back against the wall.
Charlie Swanson.
You're dead, McGarrett.
No matter what happens, you've had it.
You count the minutes, McGarrett.
What about the gate, Williams? Can't do it, Charlie.
It's your last chance, Williams, you tell the governor that.
No deals this time.
No more talk.
The gate or a body.
It's going to be bloody.
He won't have it no different.
Things could change.
There's still time.
Ain't that much time, brother.
I better call the governor.
Chin.
Come on, McGarrett.
Come on.
I'm beggin' ya.
Just give me a chance to kill you.
Just a chance.
Make a break for it.
Somethin', huh? Huh? Hey, Charlie.
You wanna make points with the governor? You just tell him McGarrett goes first.
What about you guys when the guards come chargin' in here? Haven't you got anything to say about this? Shut him up, Chicken.
( McGarrett grunting ) Hold it! Hold it! He's no good dead.
Alive, we can use him.
Hey, look, Charlie.
McGarrett's right.
Those guards out there, they come bustin' in here shootin', we're all gonna get creamed.
Oh, that's tough.
I owe you one for the lesson you gave me when I come in here.
Frank's idea, man.
You bought it.
If they come in that door, I'm gonna stand right behind you.
You ought to hold a dozen bullets apiece.
Swanson.
What? He can't last more than five, ten minutes.
You got a problem, doc.
You're an animal, Swanson.
Big deal.
This place made me one.
Right, McGarrett? I was wrong, Charlie.
You're no different.
You are an animal.
You and Chicken deserve each other.
( cocks gun ) Go ahead and shoot.
You wanna rot in here for the rest of your life.
Let me kill him, Charlie.
He owes both of us.
Come on! Come on! Let the doc take him out of here, Charlie.
He's bleeding to death.
He can be your ace, your out.
If he lives, you got a chance for parole.
If he dies, I die, any one of these guards die, you're finished.
You're locked up in here for the rest of your life.
You wanna be first? Charlie! Get back.
Get back.
You're a dead man.
( suspenseful theme playing ) You're a dead man.
Somebody blew the orders, Charlie.
I said no shooting.
I swear it.
That was the plan.
Kill him, Charlie.
Kill him! They're gonna butcher all of us in here! Kill him! No matter what happens, no matter what happens, do not fire again unless you get a direct order from me.
You got that? Yes, sir.
Somebody blew it, Charlie-- You lie! You're a liar! All cops are liars! Let the doc look at your wound, Charlie.
Don't try anything.
You'll keep losing blood till the bullet comes out.
Are you through, doc? Then beat it.
Charlie.
Charlie, look.
You can cash this.
You can cash it.
You can turn it into something good and stay alive.
What're you talking about? The state needs a new prison.
You want an out.
You want to stay alive.
That's what I'm talking about.
It adds up to the same thing: For the first time, you got muscle.
Use it, Charlie, use it.
You can win.
You're tryin' to use me, McGarrett.
Get me to do something you can't.
That's funny.
You said that you're afraid of the system? You got a chance to change it right now.
How can I change the system? Make a list of demands.
They've gotta listen to you.
He's connin' you, Charlie.
Stallin', tryin' to save his own stinkin' life.
For the first time in your life, Charlie, be a winner.
CHICKEN: Winner? Listen, They'll spit on your demands.
A con can't change anything.
Charlie, I told you.
He's got nothing to lose.
He's a lifer.
He can't get life twice.
He wants to kill.
If you listen to him, he'll kill you.
Charlie don't give up any of the hostages.
For each one you give up, you give up a chance to bust outta here.
Please, Charlie.
Okay.
Clyde, doc, Ben, Abe, take Frank out.
You're makin' a mistake, Charlie.
At least keep the doc, you need him.
What I need most is McGarrett.
I got him good.
If nothin' works, he don't work ever.
I'm bettin' my life it will, Charlie.
Hey, doc.
When you get outside, tell Danny Williams I wanna talk to him.
Okay, Swanson.
But don't move around.
You'll bleed to death.
What're you gonna tell Danny? I'm gonna tell him to send in some big wheel.
Someone everybody knows.
He can't do that.
What do you mean, he can't? He can't and won't risk someone else's life.
Did you con me, McGarrett? I told you, Charlie.
Yeah.
He took ya.
Shut up.
I said I'm betting my life on it, Charlie.
Okay.
Come on, McGarrett.
Let's write up those demands.
Let's go.
You can hand 'em to Danny right through that door.
No risk for him.
No risk for me.
What do you get if they build a new prison, Charlie, huh? Nothin'! Minus zero.
I tell you one thing I get.
It's a chance to see you in a new box.
One you don't own.
You and Frank and all his boys.
What are you listenin' to him for, Charlie? Maybe I'm listenin' to myself.
How bad is Charlie hit? Not fatal, unless he bleeds to death.
I gotta get that one a transfusion, get him to the hospital right away, or I'll lose him.
Chin, go with him.
Get as much information as you can and get back as quick as possible.
Okay.
Charlie.
CHARLIE: Hold on.
And the hospital ward.
It's in the cell block right right next to where the kitchen crew lives.
That's no good.
You got sick guys and food-handlers right next to each other.
Someday you'll have an epidemic.
And the hobby shop.
Nothin' was done after the old one burned down.
And they promised to rebuild it? They promised.
Okay, what else? And the psychos.
Aah! Should've listened to me, Charlie.
Shouldn't have let the doc go.
You're bleedin' now worse than Frank.
Yeah.
You're waiting around like a vulture, aren't you, Chicken? Waiting and hoping that Charlie'll pass out so you can take over.
He's trying to start more trouble, Charlie.
I'm tellin' ya, you and me got a date, and don't you forget it! I'm looking forward to that, Chicken.
Oh! What about the psychos? They got 'em in the same place that they got the sick guys.
Put that down, McGarrett.
There's just a thin door between guys who are sick in the head and guys who are sick in the body.
Okay, what else? The homosexuals.
These old, smart ones.
They don't do anything to keep 'em away from these young kids that're just comin' in for their first stretch.
You wanna know--? You wanna know what's really rough, McGarrett? It's knowin' how close everything is.
You know how far away my woman is from where you're standing? You face downtown Honolulu and spit real hard, you'll hit her front door.
Every time I go out in that recreation yard, I can see her house.
I can see her house, and I can see her.
You try livin' with that for a while.
It'll tear your guts out.
McGarrett, do you think that the papers are gonna print what I'm tellin' you? Page one, Charlie.
Headlines, guaranteed.
Well, that's just for starters.
The system the food, the homosexuals, the sick and the healthy all tossed together.
Got it.
Got it all.
Okay.
Get on it.
You let him go out there, and he won't come back.
Danno? I'm here, Steve.
Walk toward the shower.
I'll stay in the doorway so Charlie can see me.
Right.
Here.
( tense theme playing ) Try anything, you're dead, McGarrett.
All right, hand him the papers.
Keep them out at arm's length.
Steve, you're okay? Yeah, I'm okay, Danno.
The demands of the inmates.
I made a deal with Charlie.
See that they're printed word for word.
Anything else, the deal is off, the hostages are dead.
Understood.
What about the governor? Ask Captain Wade to call him.
Bring back the first copy off the press.
( suspenseful theme playing ) All right.
let's go.
Get over there.
No reason why we can't kill him now, Charlie.
You can't call it off.
Them papers will be out in an hour.
( laughing ) And we can wrap him in the newspapers like some wet fish.
He's trying to even the score.
It isn't your score, Charlie.
He pulls that trigger, Captain Wade will have Okay, give me your gun, Chicken.
( Chicken grunting ) Hold it! Back against the wall.
Watch it, Charlie! Get back.
Next time, I'm gonna kill the two of you.
They better hurry, McGarrett.
Those grievances are gonna be on my tombstone.
Hang on, Charlie, please.
You gotta hang on.
( action theme playing ) ( siren wailing ) How you feel, Chicken? Steve, I've got the paper.
Go get it.
Bring it over, Danno.
Toss it in.
It's all there, Charlie.
( dramatic theme playing ) Untie them.
You better come to Charlie's funeral, McGarrett.
'Cause he ain't gonna be with us long.
You wanna bet, Chicken? No chance.
The doc puts him together Frank and the boys are still waiting.
You're a loser, Chicken.
Charlie's gonna walk out of this box someday.
You never will.
You wanna bet? Come on, Charlie.
Yeah, but first I gotta do I'm a real winner.
Who told you to be a thief, Charlie? It's all the fault of my environment.
Heh.
Yeah, sure, it is.
Sure, it is.
( upbeat surf theme playing )
Swanson.
How goes? Those good times coming Let 'em roll Let 'em roll Ain't no big thing Brother When things ain't Looking up ( spits ) Ain't no big thing Brother Ain't no coffee To fill the cup Let 'em roll Yeah, let 'em roll Good times coming Let 'em roll, yeah Ain't no big thing Brother When things ain't Looking up ( spits ) Ain't no big thing Brother Ain't no coffee To fill the cup Ain't no big thing When there ain't no coffee To fill the cup 'Cause good times coming Let 'em roll Let 'em roll Good times coming Let 'em roll Let 'em roll ( grunting ) Cool it, baby! ( grunting ) ( yells ) You bucked the system, Charlie.
We can't let you buck the system.
'Cause other guys start.
What we got then, huh? No system, Charlie.
I told you what you can do with your lousy system.
We gotta live by the system in this box.
Or we die by it.
I don't need you or your system.
You gotta wait on our table.
You serve us the best steaks out of that lousy kitchen.
You need to respect, boy.
You got to be taught that.
Respect for the system.
Now, we're gonna teach ya, Charlie.
We're gonna teach you good.
I'll see you in hell first! Chicken, get over there! Turn around, the three of you.
What's going on--? Freeze! Better give me that gun, Swanson.
No chance.
You'll never make it, Charlie.
How can I blow it? I got the iron.
I gotta bust out of here.
( groans ) I've been waiting for this a long time.
Not enough.
I got you, Glen! So either they open that gate, or I'm gonna send them one dead man.
Move over there.
Charlie Move! Maybe more than one.
Yeah, I kind of like that.
( upbeat surf theme playing ) ( suspenseful theme playing ) Hey, I'll go with you, huh, Charlie? Look, I got nothing to lose.
I'm serving hard time.
I got no parole.
Who needs you? You stay with the system.
You're just a stooge.
TOSHI: You say you don't need him? How you know, brother? Look, it's a long walk to that gate, Charlie.
Look, just take us both.
We get outside, we spread out.
He's right, Charlie.
Take us both.
What do you say, brother? I'm gonna need more hostages.
Tell us how, you'll get 'em.
Okay.
Hey, what are you doing? You don't need bullets.
You shoot, you blow it, right? Well, I f-feel better with bullets.
My way! So, what do we do, Charlie? Tommy, you think you can make it to the guards' coffee room right now? Sure.
Okay.
Bring me back whoever you find there, got that? Good as done.
Tosh? Yeah.
Doc Patchett ought to be in his office right now.
He'd be a good one.
You want doc? You got him.
So move.
Looks like you're gonna have company.
( suspenseful theme playing ) On your feet.
Now! Something wrong, doc? Yeah.
In the shower room.
You better come along, man.
It's terrible.
Hold it.
Against the wall.
Up against the wall like them other brothers.
Can I help that man? Be my guest, doc.
What happens now, Charlie? What happens now? You give me back the guns, get over against the wall.
What are you talking about? Man, we're with you.
Hey, man.
No more, you're not.
Come here.
Give it to me.
TOSHI: You said we was! Come on.
Move.
You, Eddie, come here.
Come on.
If I don't get this man to a hospital, he'll die.
That's tough, doc.
Poor Frank.
You tell Captain Wade I now got six hostages, and I want that gate opened.
Either the door swings, or I start sending him bodies.
You got that? Yeah.
Yeah.
So go tell him.
( alarm wailing ) ( action theme playing ) What do we got? Swanson's leading a break.
He's holed up in the shower room.
Is he one of yours, McGarrett? Yeah.
He got a gun? Yeah.
Where'd he get it? Smuggled in.
No way of stopping contraband till we get a new prison here.
How many inmates are in the shower with him? Seven.
Including six hostages.
My God.
Thirteen men.
We don't open the gates, he starts killing.
Charlie the only leader of the bust-out? No question.
Doesn't wash.
Charlie's a thief, not a killer.
Charlie says he's gonna start killing.
I take him at his word.
Any trouble with the other inmates? All in their cells, under control.
The riot squad's standing by just in case.
Putting a couple of riflemen up on the walls? Three sharpshooters.
Start setting up the press room for the reporters before they start banging in the gates.
Governor call yet? Yeah.
No shooting unless absolutely necessary.
Right.
There's no way to fire in at him, or even lob tear gas, with those two guards where they are.
We've got them covered from all angles.
Is there somebody he cares about? A wife, girlfriend? There's nobody.
He's a loner.
Let's see if he'll talk, huh? Swanson, this is McGarrett, 5-0.
Charlie, this is McGarrett.
I'm here with Captain Wade.
I hear you, McGarrett.
You get my message, Captain Wade? You know we're not gonna open the gates for you, Charlie.
You better think that over.
I got six hostages in here.
No trouble at all to make that five.
You want me to send you a body to prove I mean what I say? What's the beef, Charlie? What started all this? I shot a guy! He's in here bleeding on the floor.
I got nothing to lose now, McGarrett.
You and Captain Wade wanna try living with six dead men on your conscience? Open the gate! Charlie, is the man you shot dead yet? Almost, but not quite.
Charlie, let somebody bring him out, put him in a hospital.
If he lives, you're off the hook.
No chance.
Use your head, Charlie.
You listen to me, McGarrett.
I got you in a box.
I'm giving ya 15 minutes.
Then I'm gonna dump one of these hostages out in that yard with his head blown off.
We could put men over the wall here, bring them down on top of the shower room.
Prepared to try it, but the roof is metal.
Swanson would hear us.
What about tear gas? We could get men within easy range on the wall here, here, here.
There's plenty of cover in and around the recreation building.
Even if we got the tear gas in, he could start shooting the hostages before it took effect.
So it's a standoff.
We're not that lucky.
McGARRETT: In about six minutes, Swanson's gonna start killing those hostages.
That's no standoff.
We could spread out the riflemen.
Put two on the building here, one on the wall here.
That'll give us the best coverage of the yard and the shower-room door.
Kono.
New position.
Set up a walkie-talkie communication system, but absolutely no shooting unless we give a direct order.
Right, boss.
DANNY: Steve.
Five minutes.
Well, he called it.
He's got us in a box.
All right, let's take it from the top.
What do we got? Guards around the prison.
( tense theme playing ) WADE: No one gets by them.
We got ladders at the wall here.
Men experienced in riot control.
No trouble going over the wall, but he'd hear us.
How long would it take? Forty, maybe 50 seconds.
Even so the yard is covered.
There's no place for them to go.
Then that's it.
Nothing, absolutely nothing.
We're kidding ourselves.
With sharpshooters on the walls, Swanson's not gonna show himself.
And even if he did, anything but a killing shot would only make it tougher on the hostages.
Four minutes, boss.
Danno, you remember Swanson from the trial.
You figure him to back down? Never.
No way.
Captain? He's gone too far to back down now.
He has a 24-karat hard head.
Yeah.
But what if we could give him an out, huh? What if I could give him an alternative so that he could change his mind and not look like he was backing down.
That'd change the whole situation.
Give him a whole new option.
DANNY: Sure, a new option.
But what option? About two and a half minutes left, boss.
Charlie? Charlie? Charlie? Time for a summit meeting, Charlie? What are you talking about? What you're thinking about.
I mean, uh, I ain't just some innocent bystander, right? Yeah, well, see, I'm just calling the shots for Charlie Swanson.
No one else.
( grunts ) Gee, Charlie.
I didn't mean to be presumptuous.
It's just that the sound of McGarrett's voice grates on my nerves, you know? See I hate his living insides.
I do, indeed.
McGARRETT: Charlie? Charlie? Thirty seconds, Charlie.
Charlie? Twenty-five seconds.
He's gonna answer with a shot.
Charlie Swanson.
Twenty seconds, Charlie.
Now.
Please, now.
You just made it, McGarrett.
Is that gate open? I wanna make a deal with you, Charlie.
CHARLIE: Oh, no.
I told you, McGarrett.
No deals.
My way or no way.
It won't cost you anything to listen to my offer.
So talk.
A trade, Charlie.
Me for the hostages.
You can't go in there, McGarrett.
Swanson will wipe you out.
And Big Chicken's waiting.
DANNY: Toshi and Tommy, they hate your guts.
Good as dead, boss.
McGARRETT: What do you say, Charlie? Say that again, McGarrett.
A deal, Charlie.
Me for the hostages.
What's the gag? No gag.
I'm leveling.
We're out of time, and I don't want you to kill any hostages.
What do you say, Charlie? Me for them.
Okay, McGarrett, you just made yourself a deal.
( laughing ): Hey, a true command decision, Charlie.
You send the hostages out.
Start them this way.
I'll walk toward you.
We pass in the middle.
Agreed? Oh, no.
What happens while you're walking? I'm in here with no insurance.
No, no.
You come in here.
When you get here, these guys'll walk.
Take it or pass.
Pass, McGarrett.
He won't let the others go.
He might.
But even if he doesn't, I'll be inside.
DANNY: Steve, you can't.
It's suicide.
Anyway, we wouldn't be any further ahead, so it'd just be a waste.
Well, it's working so far.
We're over the time limit.
He hasn't killed anybody yet.
McGarrett, what do you say? Look, what other choice is there? Just let him shoot the hostages? Kill 'em off one at a time until he runs out of fresh meat? Then make a pass at him? No, anything's better than that.
Hey, McGarrett, what's the matter? You fall in? What do you say? I'm coming in, Charlie.
If you hear a shot, order a rush.
Wall of smoke, tear gas, Mace, anything, but get there fast.
There's no help once you get inside, McGarrett.
Think again.
CHARLIE: McGarrett, are you backing out? I'm coming in now, Chuck.
Here, Danno.
( suspenseful theme playing ) That's good right there.
You guys stand fast.
You let him come around you.
Around on this side, McGarrett.
Welcome, Mr.
McGarrett.
Welcome.
CHARLIE: This way.
That's good right there.
Hands behind your head.
Turn around.
Turn around.
Don't think I'd bring you another gun, do you, Charlie? Okay, let them go.
We had a deal.
I kept my end, you keep yours.
You didn't think I was gonna let them go, did ya? You're not that stupid.
Why did ya come in here? I figured your word was good, Charlie.
My word won't open that gate.
The hostages will.
That's all that matters now.
What if they did open a gate? Where would you go? No place to hide on this rock.
No place to hide, no way off.
CHARLIE: One thing at a time.
First I get out of this hole, and then I make my move.
Is that gate open? You know it's not, and it's not gonna be.
All right, I'm gonna turn this shower into a butcher shop.
Herb, get over here.
Hold it, Herb.
Stay put.
Look, Charlie, think.
Think.
There's no way back from murder.
Now, don't be stupid.
Look who he's calling stupid, Charlie.
( laughs ) He just waltzed right in here, and he's calling you stupid? Who's dealin' for the governor now that you're in here? Captain Wade and Danny Williams.
Well, now you just tell His Excellency I'll start my lunch with a little caviar, maybe some pâté and a nice, big, juicy-- Shut up, Chicken! Get over there.
Get over there! All right, Charlie, all right.
Herb, get over here, or I'll kill you-- Wait a minute, Charlie.
It'll be your life for his life.
You get over there.
Move! It's my life anyway.
My life in this hellhole! With this system! No way for me to live with that! I gotta get out or the system gets me.
I got nothin' to lose now, McGarrett! Nothing! You just spoke my innermost thoughts, Charlie.
Why kill Herb? Why not kill McGarrett? ( ominous theme playing ) Hm.
Yeah.
Yeah? Why not? That's right, governor.
McGarrett's still in there.
We'll just have to wait till the next move.
Well, so far there's no way to move straight in.
Not without losing those hostages to Charlie Swanson.
Of course, governor.
The minute anything happens, I'll let you know.
Mahalo.
The governor's plenty worried, huh? Yes, he knows as well as any of us what we're up against.
Sick about it.
Wishes us good luck.
Steve is going to need plenty of it.
( phone buzzes ) Yes? That's right, scope rifles, all three of them.
Take the positions indicated and wait for orders.
( door opens ) Anything? No.
No further word from the shower-room area.
Steve could be dead in there right now.
No.
Charlie Swanson's smart enough not to blow his last chance of getting out alive.
Maybe he figures it's already blown, and there's nothing left to do but start sending out dead bodies.
He knows what will happen then.
That won't stop him unless he can figure another way.
That's why Steve went in.
To show him another way.
If he can find one.
There's nothing we can do about that, Danny.
That's up to Steve.
We got our own work to do.
Yeah.
Okay, where do we stand? Sharpshooters moving into position.
Three of the best riflemen I have.
Everything else is ready.
The riot squad, smoke grenades, tear gas.
Has Kono set up the communication system with the walkie-talkies? All set.
We'll hear the minute anything breaks.
Chin, why don't you give Kono a hand.
I can't have a communication breakdown.
Good as done, Danny.
What about the reporters? They're gathered in the press room.
Any word comes in, I'll contact you there.
Captain one favor.
If something goes wrong out there, let somebody else handle the press.
I want some time with Charlie Swanson.
Kill him, Charlie.
Kill him! He killed us when he put us in here! I left some orders, Charlie.
You pull that trigger, and you're dead.
They hear one shot, one, and they'll come tearing in here and rip you open.
So killing me is the same as killing yourself.
You want to stay alive, you keep me alive.
CHICKEN: Charlie.
Charlie.
Lemme help ya.
I mean, you got a lot of thinkin' to do, right? Well, I can watch these guys for ya.
You can kill McGarrett for me, that's what you mean.
You gotta trust somebody, Charlie.
Too many guys to watch.
Too much to do for one guy.
I mean, this is a bloody war, man, ain't it? What do you say, Charlie? All right, all right.
But McGarrett is mine, remember that.
Don't.
Don't, Charlie.
Giving him a gun is a mistake.
A big mistake.
Hey! Listen to me.
Chicken and me, we're both on the inside, and we're chokin' to death in this rat hole.
That's the way to talk, Charlie, baby.
He's a loser.
He's a loser, Charlie.
( chuckles ) He's a slimy dope-pusher.
He's like you like oil is like water.
Wet, but they never mix.
Thanks a lot, McGarrett.
I'm callin' the shots.
Uhwouldn't the automatic be better, Charlie? I mean, this ain't much good if they try to jump ya.
No.
One bullet is enough, Chicken.
If they move, you shoot.
I'll take it from there.
But you got the other automatic.
One bullet is enough, Chicken! I was just thinking-- Load the gun.
This man needs a blood transfusion.
Needs the bullet removed.
If I don't get him to a hospital, he'll die.
I didn't shoot him so he'd feel better, doc.
Please, Charlie, let the doc take him out.
If he lives, you got a chance for parole someday.
When?! When he's 80?! When I'm 80? Listen, whether Frank lives or dies don't mean nothin' to us now.
The only thing means anything, is we gotta get out of here.
And we will, if we gotta walk on corpses all the way to that gate.
So don't you stand there, drownin' us with your two-bit morality.
And I just gave you all the facts, cop.
Chicken is right, McGarrett.
You're here for one reason only: to help us bust out.
( suspenseful theme playing ) ( all chattering ) All right, fellas.
All right, fellas.
Fellas, hold it! You know we won't get anywhere if you all talk at once.
We have deadlines, Williams.
All right, there's been no change since the initial release from the governor.
That was over an hour ago.
So, what's new? We get pictures? Anything? Inside the prison? No chance.
What are you trying to do, Williams? Manage the news, control the press? You know better.
All we want is the simple truth.
You're saying we just print cheap and sensational headlines? Your words, not mine.
Then tell us how those prisoners got the guns? This is Hawaii State Prison, not Leavenworth.
This place is like a sieve.
It's like a box with an open lid.
Almost anything can get in from the outside.
The governor, the legislature, the department of corrections have been screaming about this institution for the last 20 years.
That's right, everybody's screaming.
Everybody agrees we need a new prison, but nothing happens.
What's the hang-up, Mr.
Williams? The hang-up is geography, pure and simple.
Where to put it? A political football.
Yes.
We've got seven lives on the line.
He kill any of those hostages yet? No.
One was supposed to go That's what the inmates threatened.
What stopped them? McGarrett.
Where's McGarrett now? He's in the shower room with the inmates.
( tense theme playing ) Ahhh.
Not bad.
Not bad, McGarrett.
How much you pay for your ties, huh? Huh? ( scoffs ) You cruddy cop.
( spits ) Before you put me in here, I spent more for my shoelaces than you spent on that lousy suit of yours! Sure.
I'm a cop.
You're a dope-pusher.
Before long, you're gonna be a dead cop, McGarrett.
You like zinging me, Chicken? I like killing you better, McGarrett.
Come on.
Come on.
Just take a little step.
Oh, no.
No, no.
If you're gonna do it, you're gonna do it on your own.
I'm not gonna help you.
Hold it, Chicken.
Hold it! McGarrett, walk halfway over here, hands behind your back.
Get Danny Williams out here! Kono.
Right.
Swanson wants to talk to Danny.
I'll get him right away.
Whatever you're thinking, Charlie, it's not gonna work.
Oh, it'll work.
'Cause I got seven hostages.
Sure.
Sure, you can kill seven people, maybe more, but that's not gonna open the gate.
Keeping Frank alive is the only thing that's gonna get you out of here.
You ought to know better than that, McGarrett.
Frank lives, he's gotta come after me.
And in this place, he won't have far to go.
You afraid of him, Charlie? Him? No.
The system? Yes.
Can't beat it.
Frank controls pills, junk.
That's as big as you can get.
Gives him lots of muscle, lots of juice.
Any one of 30 guys could put a bullet or a knife right through me.
You could get protection, Charlie.
In this box? Never, no way.
Then change it.
What did you say? Change it! Don't put up with it.
Come on, McGarrett, this place will never change.
It'll be the same till it rots and falls apart.
Then they'll glue it back together again, it'll stay the same for another 20 years.
Charlie Swanson.
This is Williams.
Get back against the wall.
Charlie Swanson.
You're dead, McGarrett.
No matter what happens, you've had it.
You count the minutes, McGarrett.
What about the gate, Williams? Can't do it, Charlie.
It's your last chance, Williams, you tell the governor that.
No deals this time.
No more talk.
The gate or a body.
It's going to be bloody.
He won't have it no different.
Things could change.
There's still time.
Ain't that much time, brother.
I better call the governor.
Chin.
Come on, McGarrett.
Come on.
I'm beggin' ya.
Just give me a chance to kill you.
Just a chance.
Make a break for it.
Somethin', huh? Huh? Hey, Charlie.
You wanna make points with the governor? You just tell him McGarrett goes first.
What about you guys when the guards come chargin' in here? Haven't you got anything to say about this? Shut him up, Chicken.
( McGarrett grunting ) Hold it! Hold it! He's no good dead.
Alive, we can use him.
Hey, look, Charlie.
McGarrett's right.
Those guards out there, they come bustin' in here shootin', we're all gonna get creamed.
Oh, that's tough.
I owe you one for the lesson you gave me when I come in here.
Frank's idea, man.
You bought it.
If they come in that door, I'm gonna stand right behind you.
You ought to hold a dozen bullets apiece.
Swanson.
What? He can't last more than five, ten minutes.
You got a problem, doc.
You're an animal, Swanson.
Big deal.
This place made me one.
Right, McGarrett? I was wrong, Charlie.
You're no different.
You are an animal.
You and Chicken deserve each other.
( cocks gun ) Go ahead and shoot.
You wanna rot in here for the rest of your life.
Let me kill him, Charlie.
He owes both of us.
Come on! Come on! Let the doc take him out of here, Charlie.
He's bleeding to death.
He can be your ace, your out.
If he lives, you got a chance for parole.
If he dies, I die, any one of these guards die, you're finished.
You're locked up in here for the rest of your life.
You wanna be first? Charlie! Get back.
Get back.
You're a dead man.
( suspenseful theme playing ) You're a dead man.
Somebody blew the orders, Charlie.
I said no shooting.
I swear it.
That was the plan.
Kill him, Charlie.
Kill him! They're gonna butcher all of us in here! Kill him! No matter what happens, no matter what happens, do not fire again unless you get a direct order from me.
You got that? Yes, sir.
Somebody blew it, Charlie-- You lie! You're a liar! All cops are liars! Let the doc look at your wound, Charlie.
Don't try anything.
You'll keep losing blood till the bullet comes out.
Are you through, doc? Then beat it.
Charlie.
Charlie, look.
You can cash this.
You can cash it.
You can turn it into something good and stay alive.
What're you talking about? The state needs a new prison.
You want an out.
You want to stay alive.
That's what I'm talking about.
It adds up to the same thing: For the first time, you got muscle.
Use it, Charlie, use it.
You can win.
You're tryin' to use me, McGarrett.
Get me to do something you can't.
That's funny.
You said that you're afraid of the system? You got a chance to change it right now.
How can I change the system? Make a list of demands.
They've gotta listen to you.
He's connin' you, Charlie.
Stallin', tryin' to save his own stinkin' life.
For the first time in your life, Charlie, be a winner.
CHICKEN: Winner? Listen, They'll spit on your demands.
A con can't change anything.
Charlie, I told you.
He's got nothing to lose.
He's a lifer.
He can't get life twice.
He wants to kill.
If you listen to him, he'll kill you.
Charlie don't give up any of the hostages.
For each one you give up, you give up a chance to bust outta here.
Please, Charlie.
Okay.
Clyde, doc, Ben, Abe, take Frank out.
You're makin' a mistake, Charlie.
At least keep the doc, you need him.
What I need most is McGarrett.
I got him good.
If nothin' works, he don't work ever.
I'm bettin' my life it will, Charlie.
Hey, doc.
When you get outside, tell Danny Williams I wanna talk to him.
Okay, Swanson.
But don't move around.
You'll bleed to death.
What're you gonna tell Danny? I'm gonna tell him to send in some big wheel.
Someone everybody knows.
He can't do that.
What do you mean, he can't? He can't and won't risk someone else's life.
Did you con me, McGarrett? I told you, Charlie.
Yeah.
He took ya.
Shut up.
I said I'm betting my life on it, Charlie.
Okay.
Come on, McGarrett.
Let's write up those demands.
Let's go.
You can hand 'em to Danny right through that door.
No risk for him.
No risk for me.
What do you get if they build a new prison, Charlie, huh? Nothin'! Minus zero.
I tell you one thing I get.
It's a chance to see you in a new box.
One you don't own.
You and Frank and all his boys.
What are you listenin' to him for, Charlie? Maybe I'm listenin' to myself.
How bad is Charlie hit? Not fatal, unless he bleeds to death.
I gotta get that one a transfusion, get him to the hospital right away, or I'll lose him.
Chin, go with him.
Get as much information as you can and get back as quick as possible.
Okay.
Charlie.
CHARLIE: Hold on.
And the hospital ward.
It's in the cell block right right next to where the kitchen crew lives.
That's no good.
You got sick guys and food-handlers right next to each other.
Someday you'll have an epidemic.
And the hobby shop.
Nothin' was done after the old one burned down.
And they promised to rebuild it? They promised.
Okay, what else? And the psychos.
Aah! Should've listened to me, Charlie.
Shouldn't have let the doc go.
You're bleedin' now worse than Frank.
Yeah.
You're waiting around like a vulture, aren't you, Chicken? Waiting and hoping that Charlie'll pass out so you can take over.
He's trying to start more trouble, Charlie.
I'm tellin' ya, you and me got a date, and don't you forget it! I'm looking forward to that, Chicken.
Oh! What about the psychos? They got 'em in the same place that they got the sick guys.
Put that down, McGarrett.
There's just a thin door between guys who are sick in the head and guys who are sick in the body.
Okay, what else? The homosexuals.
These old, smart ones.
They don't do anything to keep 'em away from these young kids that're just comin' in for their first stretch.
You wanna know--? You wanna know what's really rough, McGarrett? It's knowin' how close everything is.
You know how far away my woman is from where you're standing? You face downtown Honolulu and spit real hard, you'll hit her front door.
Every time I go out in that recreation yard, I can see her house.
I can see her house, and I can see her.
You try livin' with that for a while.
It'll tear your guts out.
McGarrett, do you think that the papers are gonna print what I'm tellin' you? Page one, Charlie.
Headlines, guaranteed.
Well, that's just for starters.
The system the food, the homosexuals, the sick and the healthy all tossed together.
Got it.
Got it all.
Okay.
Get on it.
You let him go out there, and he won't come back.
Danno? I'm here, Steve.
Walk toward the shower.
I'll stay in the doorway so Charlie can see me.
Right.
Here.
( tense theme playing ) Try anything, you're dead, McGarrett.
All right, hand him the papers.
Keep them out at arm's length.
Steve, you're okay? Yeah, I'm okay, Danno.
The demands of the inmates.
I made a deal with Charlie.
See that they're printed word for word.
Anything else, the deal is off, the hostages are dead.
Understood.
What about the governor? Ask Captain Wade to call him.
Bring back the first copy off the press.
( suspenseful theme playing ) All right.
let's go.
Get over there.
No reason why we can't kill him now, Charlie.
You can't call it off.
Them papers will be out in an hour.
( laughing ) And we can wrap him in the newspapers like some wet fish.
He's trying to even the score.
It isn't your score, Charlie.
He pulls that trigger, Captain Wade will have Okay, give me your gun, Chicken.
( Chicken grunting ) Hold it! Back against the wall.
Watch it, Charlie! Get back.
Next time, I'm gonna kill the two of you.
They better hurry, McGarrett.
Those grievances are gonna be on my tombstone.
Hang on, Charlie, please.
You gotta hang on.
( action theme playing ) ( siren wailing ) How you feel, Chicken? Steve, I've got the paper.
Go get it.
Bring it over, Danno.
Toss it in.
It's all there, Charlie.
( dramatic theme playing ) Untie them.
You better come to Charlie's funeral, McGarrett.
'Cause he ain't gonna be with us long.
You wanna bet, Chicken? No chance.
The doc puts him together Frank and the boys are still waiting.
You're a loser, Chicken.
Charlie's gonna walk out of this box someday.
You never will.
You wanna bet? Come on, Charlie.
Yeah, but first I gotta do I'm a real winner.
Who told you to be a thief, Charlie? It's all the fault of my environment.
Heh.
Yeah, sure, it is.
Sure, it is.
