Hawaii Five-O (1968) s01e23 Episode Script
Not That Much Different
( solemn march playing ) Excuse me.
Pardon.
Pardon me.
General, I'd like you to meet Steve McGarrett of Hawaii Five-0.
He's the head of our Hawaiian state police.
My pleasure, Mr.
McGarrett.
Welcome to Hawaii, general.
Steve's in charge of the overall security for your drive down to the governor's office.
What are the plans, Mr.
McGarrett? Well, the procession will start here.
We'll join it on the boulevard over there.
We'll escort you all the way to 'Iolani Palace.
Thank you.
General, we've been waiting to talk to you.
Hear us out, general.
( crowd clamoring ) Yeah, general, come on! Please, please, please.
MAN: General, are you afraid of us? Who are they? Students from the university.
What do you advise, Mr.
McGarrett? I advise you not to talk to them, sir.
Security in a crowd is difficult at best.
MAN: Yeah, general, come on! General! Well, I think I'll go anyway.
It's your decision.
We can't be responsible.
Let me speak.
Say my word, you've said yours.
No, young man, I'm not afraid of you and your friends.
What surprises me is the fear you have of my coming to Hawaii.
Not to Hawaii, general, we know you're going to the mainland to negotiate for arms.
( crowd clamoring ) To make war.
To destroy blindly rather than trying to find some reasonable road towards peace.
MAN: To kill.
Let me speak.
We fight and kill only the ones who would take away the freedom we fought all these years to win.
You've been using that excuse for centuries, general.
And bloodshed hasn't gotten us anywhere.
Isn't there a better way? Haven't you ever longed for peace? Wait a minute.
Let me speak.
Always I've longed for peace.
Never have I found a way to attain it.
Then read this, general.
It's a copy of Peace magazine.
We publish it here in the hope that its message will spread over the world.
MAN 2: Read it.
Read it.
If young people can build a bridge, first between people, then between people and their leaders Maybe you'll get a chance to read-- ( gunshot ) ( crowd screaming ) Go! Go! Get outta here! ( melancholy theme playing ) ( tearfully ): Julian He's dead.
Oh Oh, Julian ( sobbing ) ( cool action theme playing ) ( suspenseful theme playing ) This picture was taken just before Julian was shot.
Carole, this is you, correct? Yes.
Mr.
Brechtman, you were here? Yes, sir.
And, Jackie, you were here? Right.
This picture was taken just at the moment of impact.
Carole, this is you again.
Mm? Yes.
Manning West, where were you? I wasn't behind the police line.
I was across the street.
Somewhere just to the right of that picture.
In the crowd.
Over in this area here? That's right.
Doing what? Selling our magazine.
It comes out once a week, ten cents.
Mr.
Horvath, where were you? I, uh was somewhere in that area there, Mr.
McGarrett.
And not too far from that shadow in the doorway.
Selling magazines too? Trying to.
Did you see anything suspicious? Clue me.
Sun glinting off metal.
Somebody who watched the parade who left hurriedly.
Somebody who hung back from the crowd, around these buildings here.
Anything.
Sorry.
Mr.
West, you were in the same general area? That's right.
Just as I started toward the walk, the shot was fired.
Now, look here's that unexplained shadow.
Right here.
Maybe 20, 30 feet from where he was shot.
Now, think.
Let's see.
That would have been to my right.
Sorry, I didn't see anything.
Carole? Nothing.
JACKIE: Me neither.
There were people standing in front of me.
Mr.
Brechtman you're tall.
You could have seen over the heads of those around you.
I wasn't looking toward the street.
I was looking at the general.
If you're through with us, Mr.
McGarrett, we do have the next issue of our magazine to get out.
All right.
If you think of anything you might have overlooked, let me know.
We might as well tell it to you like it is, Mr.
McGarrett.
Your bringing us down here, asking for our help ( scoffs ) makes us sick.
Why, Jackie? Why does it make you sick? A man has been murdered.
In our book, Mr.
McGarrett, you're no better than the man who fired at the general and killed Julian.
I don't understand your logic.
HORVATH: You carry a gun.
Anyone who carries a gun believes in killing.
You are armed, therefore you are prepared to kill.
You finished? Look, I don't feel any need to defend my position or my profession, but I'd like to mention a few names.
John F.
Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King.
And before them, Mahatma Gandhi.
Did you ever hear of them? There are dangerous animals in the world, and some of them walk on two feet.
They don't want peace, and they're not capable of love.
Society, and that means you and you and you and you, need protection from these warped minds, and that's my job.
Nowyou have every right to sing about peace and march about it and write about it.
But what I just told you is the way it is, unfortunately.
That's why we're armed.
I think they're right, Mr.
McGarrett.
But they didn't have to be so rough on you, I'm sorry.
Thank you, Carole.
I appreciate that.
And you all met in this peace movement? That's too big a word, Mr.
McGarrett.
We were just a bunch of kids with magazines and an idea that if enough people wanted a peaceful world, maybe we could have it.
I don't know anything about angles of trajectory or ballistics or evidence.
But I know that we came there today to demonstrate for peace against violence, against death.
Only we lost, didn't we? I abhor violence in any form.
I think that violence breeds violence on any level.
Every war, every riot started with one individual act of violence.
I'm a peace officer.
Euphemism? Maybe.
But I want peace more than anything else in the world.
I hope you'll understand that, Carole.
Try to.
And try to help us.
( guitar playing gentle melody ) ( continues playing gentle melody ) Steve? Hi, Danno.
Brought you a sandwich.
Thanks.
And a lead.
Good.
What do you got? July, 1966, Julian Scott and a young woman named Lannie May Devereaux were found nearly asphyxiated from gas.
Suspected that she turned it on while he was asleep.
Nothing could be proved.
Hm.
Interesting.
Is she a student? No.
Cocktail waitress.
Something else.
Yeah.
H.
P.
D.
found a gun in the kitchen of their pad.
Same caliber as the one that killed Julian Scott, .
38 special.
What happened to it? It was released to the girl.
She had her permit.
( phone rings ) McGarrett.
MAN: McGarrett.
( whimpering ): McGarrett that shooting, earlier today.
Yeah.
Go on.
What about the shooting? Well, do you have any leads? I mean, do you have any idea as to? As to--? As to what? As to what? Who is this, please? What are you trying to say? Well, things happen.
Things aren't always what they seem.
All right.
Would you like to tell me what happened that wasn't what it seemed? I can't.
Sure you can.
Something happened that wasn't what it seemed.
Now, what was it? No.
I can't tell you.
I can't.
And I can't live with it either.
( line clicks ) ( tense theme playing ) ( mysterious theme playing ) Nice operation.
What do you want from us now, Mr.
McGarrett? You got some built-in immunity to rejection? Mr.
McGarrett, we buried Julian this morning.
Even so, he's very much with us right now.
Please be kind enough to leave us alone.
This is not a social call.
Oh, I see.
We either answer more questions, or you take us in again? Do you know a girl named Lannie May Devereaux? Julian used to see her occasionally, why? Do you know where she lives now? Works? Anything about her? You sure? Of course we're sure.
She was a cheap little thing.
Certainly not one of us.
Juliansaw something in her, I guess.
Why the interest? She owns a .
38 caliber revolver.
Your friend Julian was shot with a .
38 caliber.
I don't see what you're driving at, Mr.
McGarrett.
Julian was killed by a shot fired at the general.
Now, what does all this have to do--? Oh, now, wait a minute.
Are you saying that someone deliberately shot at Julian? WEST: No chance.
Everybody loves Julian.
Everybody.
Lesson one: Nobody is loved by everybody.
Somebody may have wanted to kill your friend Julian, whether you'd believe it or not.
Nobody could have wanted to kill Julian.
He was shot.
Somebody fired at the general and missed.
That's all.
You both seem very sure of that.
Well, it seems obvious.
Paul.
Page one box.
Mr.
Brechtman.
You remember any more about the killing than you told me in the office? No, Mr.
McGarrett.
I told you, I didn't see anything.
HORVATH: Mr.
McGarrett we've got nothing against you personally here.
It's just what you represent that bugs us.
You do understand? I'm not even gonna try.
( mysterious theme playing ) What have we got? Lannie May Devereaux.
Positive identification? One of Chin's cousins at the Kalawai Bar.
Makaha Kelly.
Bull's-eye.
She and a guy named Vic Collins were in the bar about 2:00 in the afternoon.
Makaha called, I tailed them.
Do you know anything about this Collins? Makaha says he thinks this guy is in big trouble on the mainland.
Just came back from California.
This is Williams.
Five-O.
Request clearance.
H.
P.
D.
Warrants and holds.
MAN: Clearance obtained, Five-O.
Go ahead, please.
Do you show any warrants or holds on one Victor Collins? No DOB yet nor description, but believed recently returned from the mainland.
Hold on.
Request from L.
A.
P.
D.
received yesterday.
Hold and detain.
Suspicion of armed robbery.
Suspicion of murder one.
Evidence sought included jewelry taken in holdup where store owner was shot to death.
Thank you.
There's our legal authority to go through a door if we have to.
Let's go.
( tense theme playing ) Collins inside? Yeah.
He's big and mean-looking.
Chin, cover the back.
If we have any trouble with Collins, try to keep her clear.
Okay.
DANNY: Hawaii Five-O.
( solemn theme playing ) Kono, call Steve.
Tell him Tell him we've got Lannie May Devereaux.
Anything special you need in Julian's desk, Manning? I was looking for the glue.
Come on, Manning.
You can do better than that.
I locked that box before I left.
I see you forced it, for the glue, of course.
It was a rather weak excuse.
Actually, I was looking for some possible evidence that might help us in our investigation.
Manning, I've been thinking about that.
Last night we agreed to hold our own investigation to see if possibly one of us could have killed Julian.
Well, it is possible, you know.
And if so, we turn him over to McGarrett without the publicity of a police hunt.
And then no one would think we were fanatics or commies or wild-eyed kids who didn't know what they're doing.
And now you don't wanna find the killer, is that it? Why? You afraid again, Ned, old buddy? The only thing I'm afraid of is that we're not qualified to sit in judgment.
Oh, nonsense.
You were afraid when we started the marches.
Afraid when we started approaching powerful people and defying them.
It's always easier for you behind your typewriter.
It's always easier for you not to act.
That's not true, and you know it.
Isn't it? When were you brave, for once? All right.
Let's do some investigating.
I think you were looking for evidence in Julian's locker.
I think you were looking for this letter you wrote to Julian.
You You read it? I'm sorry.
I did.
I was going through his papers to see if he left us any unfinished business.
Well, this isn't evidence of much except my affection for him.
And that you challenged his leadership.
Every organization needs somebody to spur them on.
I wanted to help him.
We all wanted to help him.
I wanted to help him.
You hated Julian.
I loved him.
But he didn't love you.
Oh, no.
That's not true.
It was you who fought with him constantly, didn't you? Answer the question, Ned.
We argued over goals for the magazine.
A difference of viewpoints.
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
What was your viewpoint when Julian stepped towards the general to hand him a copy of the magazine, into the line of fire? ( suspenseful theme playing ) ( ominous theme playing ) Am I under arrest? I don't know yet.
Do you know anything about a .
38 caliber revolver? Is that what Victor was carrying? No, he had a .
45.
A .
38 was found in the room that you and Julian Scott almost died in three years ago.
It belonged to me.
What happened to it? It was returned to me.
Where is it now? I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know? It was yours.
It was in your possession.
You must know what happened to it.
I think Julian took it.
Took it away from me.
He didn't want me to have it.
He didn't want anyone to have anything to do with guns, you know? What did he do with it? I don't know! What's so important about a stupid gun?! Julian was killed with a .
38 caliber revolver.
Now, what happened in that room that night three years ago? Someone tried to kill us.
By turning on the gas? Yes.
Who was it? I don't know.
Lannie, tell me the truth.
It is the truth, Mr.
McGarrett.
All I know is that he quarreled with someone on the phone.
Did he mention the name? No.
But it was someone from the magazine.
He told you that? No, but they were talking about the magazine, quarrelling.
Mr.
McGarrett, is it important? Yes.
Very important.
Lannie, you and Collins checked in here just three hours after Julian was killed.
Any connection? Sure.
I knew you'd be after me.
Why hide? You haven't seen him in three years.
Oh, but I did.
I saw him only a couple of nights ago, as a matter of fact.
Why? Why did you see him? He came to say goodbye.
That he knew now that he loved somebody else.
Carole? Yes.
What about Collins? Collins was a loser.
I'm a loser.
We get along.
Okay, that's all for now, Lannie.
Report to the officers outside.
We'll have to know where to reach you.
Lannie do me a favor, will you? Stop running away with losers.
Anything? Hm.
She didn't kill Julian.
How can you be so sure? Cop instinct.
( calm theme playing ) Hello, Ned.
What are you doing here, Mr.
Williams? Oh, trying to get us some more information about the killing of Julian Scott.
You never give up, do you? You wouldn't really want us to.
Putting down violence, getting rid of all the guns and gunmen in this world, that's our bag as well as yours.
You won't find anything to put in your bag here.
We've got a play going into production next week.
I've got a lot of work to do.
You wouldn't have a .
38 revolver as a prop in that play, would you? What's that supposed to mean? Julian had a .
38 revolver.
Never.
It was given to him by Lannie May Devereaux.
Where is it, Ned? None of us ever had a gun.
Someone shot Julian with one.
Not one of us.
How do you know? We're a group against arms, or haven't you heard? We heard.
We also heard you had an argument with Julian the night before he was killed.
I'm busy, Mr.
Williams.
You wanna talk to me again, I want an attorney.
And you'd better come up with charges and evidence.
Good, Paul.
Ned with a gun.
I can't believe it's his.
Maybe it's not.
Maybe it's Julian's.
The one he took from Lannie May.
I don't understand, Manning.
What would Ned be doing with it? Possibly he stole it from Julian.
I-I don't know.
All I know is I caught a glimpse of metal when Ned's locker was open the other day.
I didn't connect it with a gun until the police started questioning.
None of this has any meaning, Manning.
The maybes, the possibilities, we're only guessing.
Thinking wild, wild thoughts.
There's only one way to pin it all down.
Ask Ned about it.
Isn't that for the police to do? We were Julian's friends.
Ned owes us an explanation.
I think Jackie's right.
I think we should call McGarrett.
Please, Manning? In time.
In time.
But if Ned did kill Julian, he killed something inside each of us.
I say we should find out.
Look, confessing to us will be harder for him than confessing to the police.
That'll be his real punishment.
Look aren't we all like brothers and sisters? ( suspenseful theme playing ) ( wood banging ) NED: Somebody out there? Who's there? What's going on in here? ( clatter ) Oh, come on, whoever you are, let me see you.
Look, whatever the gag is, it isn't funny.
It's no gag, Ned.
Manning? That's right, Ned.
I and some of the others.
Wh? Wh-what are you doing here? What's this all about? Ned we're putting you on trial for the murder of Julian Scott.
( ominous theme playing ) ( suspenseful theme playing ) You're not going through with this.
Not with me as the accused.
If you're innocent, why are you so afraid of learning the truth? I'm not afraid.
You were with us when we decided to investigate our own group.
Yes.
Yes, I was.
Well, then, this is part of it.
If you're innocent, you don't have anything to worry about.
Okay.
Let's go ahead with it.
What happened the last time you saw Julian in the office before he was killed? Did you quarrel again? No.
No, it wasn't exactly a quarrel.
You opposed going to meet the general, the march.
But I'd always done that.
That's right.
I had to point that out to Julian.
You're always pointing something out.
Pointing out to-- To Julian that I was too weak.
Pointing out to me that Julian was too ambitious, too anxious to lead.
Wait a minute.
Think back.
Did I say "too ambitious" or just "ambitious"? Did I say "too anxious to lead" or just "anxious"? He led us all, Ned.
But I didn't want to go.
I didn't want to be led anymore.
Not by him and not by you.
Did you tell him that? You did tell him, huh? What did he say? He was furious.
He said I was letting him down betraying him.
He said that three young men, you, Julian and I, had proven that they could make great men listen to them heed them even bow.
He said Ishould go with him to the general.
And then I could get out.
He said now he wanted me out.
Certainly that was no reason for Ned to kill him.
I didn't kill him! Well, yes, I was angry.
I'd given as much as anybody, worked as hard.
But I I thought I'd wait until the next day.
Did you think that Julian might change his mind? Yeah, sure.
I'd figured he thought it over.
Well, I mean, two years.
There was so many things I'd gotten used to.
( scoffs ) Or thought I had.
I, uh I'd worked six weeks to get a date with a girl, take her to a party.
And, uh in an hour, Julian'd take her away from me.
But I thought that's the way it is.
A little funny, really.
Just before the procession started I tried to talk to Julian.
But he looked right through me.
And later, everyone was waving, calling after him.
But don't you see? It-- It could have happened to any one of you.
He got rid of me, but it could have been anyone else.
It had all become his own thing.
We had all become his own thing.
You said as much, Manning.
I don't think I ever said that.
I don't remember saying that.
Does everyone remember my ever saying anything against Julian? What did you do with the gun, Ned? I never had a gun.
We found this in your locker tonight, Ned.
We think it's the gun that killed Julian.
Wh It can't be.
I never had a gun.
Well, you all know me better than that.
You know I'd never have a gun.
There was only one time you weren't afraid to act.
Only one time you were brave.
It's not true.
I didn't kill him.
I didn't.
What we've put Ned through just now is shameful.
I'm asking you whether you believe he's innocent or guilty.
Manning, he might possibly have had a motive.
But that's all.
A motive and a gun.
Please, let's stop this! Jackie's right.
That's enough.
Am I the only one who believes that we should decide his guilt or innocence right here and now? Manning, we're not equipped to decide.
You said if any evidence was uncovered, you'd turn it over to McGarrett.
That's the way to go, Manning.
We don't want any part of this anymore.
Okay.
Okay.
I had no intention of setting myself up as judge and jury.
If that's the way you all want it, that's the way it'll be.
( somber theme playing ) We'll go to McGarrett in the morning.
Nice that you're all through playing God, Manning.
I think it's time we all went home.
You're right, Ned.
I think it is.
( horn honks ) Please, get into the car, Ned.
Put that thing down.
I'm not going to the police.
You embarrassed me enough last night.
I wouldn't dream of embarrassing you, Ned.
We're not going to the police.
You drive.
Go on.
MAN: It's about that telephone call.
I'm the one who made it.
Oh? Sit down.
What exactly were you trying to say? I saw something when Julian was shot.
What did you see? Manning.
He was in the shadows.
I thought I saw him pointing toward the general.
Pointing or aiming a gun? I didn't know.
I wasn't sure.
I didn't want to destroy everything we'd worked for by-- By a wrong accusation.
So you made the call hoping that we'd find out for you, huh? You see I was getting more worried.
I thought if somebody among us would kill, maybe he'd kill again.
Maybe even me if he suspected I'd seen him.
If you couldn't bring yourself to tell me this on the phone, what made you come in now? Well, it doesn't matter anymore.
Why not? Well, Manning must have told you about the trial.
What trial? When he questioned Ned Horvath, accused him of being guilty.
Well, he did come in, didn't he? I mean, bring the gun with him.
He had a gun? Sure, a .
38.
He was going to He was going to what? I don't know.
I thought he was going to be here.
Where's Manning now? I have his address, Steve.
And Horvath's.
Let's go.
Get a description of Manning's car.
Put out an APB.
It's done, boss.
( bold action theme playing ) CHIN HO: McGarrett.
Yeah, McGarrett standing by.
Got a report on Manning's car.
Heading toward Ku'uipo Point.
Ten-four.
Kam Highway and Naupaka.
( waves crashing ) Going out to the end of the point.
The view should be beautiful now, Ned.
I want you to jump, Ned.
How can you take a human life like this? A human life? In the first six weeks of the Spanish Civil War, they took In World War One, they gave 100,000 human lives to capture eight miles of mud.
I'm only going to take one human life.
A life that's meaningless in time and history.
If you think I killed Julian take me to the police.
Carole, Jackie, Brechtman, they know I didn't kill Julian.
But they don't know I did.
Sooner or later, McGarrett would find that out.
You'd tell him about the letter I wrote to Julian, and then he'd have the motive.
But your suicide will indicate that you're the guilty one, Ned.
Please understand.
You're mad.
Jump, Ned.
Do it with style and grace, the way Julian might have done it.
Come on, move on out there, Ned.
( sirens wailing in distance ) It's so demeaning for both of us if I have to push you.
( tense action theme playing ) There they are.
Get him to a hospital.
There's nowhere to go, Manning.
You'll never make it.
You're boxed, Manning.
Freeze.
You're boxed.
( gunshot ) ( gasping ) Sorry to give you such a rough time, McGarrett.
But the ancient Greeks did not go meekly into chains either.
I admired them.
You admired Julian too, didn't you? Yes.
Why did you try to kill him the night he was with Lannie Devereaux? I felt he betrayed me.
Used all of us.
Is that why you shot him, later on? I didn't go there for that reason.
Is that why you finally shot him? Do you know what--? What magnacide is? Yeah.
The killing of a great person.
To call attention to and make famous the killer.
I found Lannie's gun where Julian had hidden it.
I went there intending to kill the general.
And suddenly I saw Julian.
Everything I wantedto be.
Handsome respected by everyone a shining leader with Carole standing beside him.
I was a fool to change my mind at the last minute.
Now I'm going to die for nothing.
But you know, McGarrett, I don't mind.
It's better to command in hell than serve in heaven.
Someone said that.
Only you're not going to die, Manning.
You'll have a lifetime in an iron box to think about it.
Steve.
Danno.
Ambulance on the way down.
Horvath'll be okay.
Good.
He'll be all right too.
I just winged him.
You know Chinese say all the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.
I think we got some pretty good seeds in those other kids, Danno, don't you? Yeah.
( dramatic theme playing ) ( cool action theme playing )
Pardon.
Pardon me.
General, I'd like you to meet Steve McGarrett of Hawaii Five-0.
He's the head of our Hawaiian state police.
My pleasure, Mr.
McGarrett.
Welcome to Hawaii, general.
Steve's in charge of the overall security for your drive down to the governor's office.
What are the plans, Mr.
McGarrett? Well, the procession will start here.
We'll join it on the boulevard over there.
We'll escort you all the way to 'Iolani Palace.
Thank you.
General, we've been waiting to talk to you.
Hear us out, general.
( crowd clamoring ) Yeah, general, come on! Please, please, please.
MAN: General, are you afraid of us? Who are they? Students from the university.
What do you advise, Mr.
McGarrett? I advise you not to talk to them, sir.
Security in a crowd is difficult at best.
MAN: Yeah, general, come on! General! Well, I think I'll go anyway.
It's your decision.
We can't be responsible.
Let me speak.
Say my word, you've said yours.
No, young man, I'm not afraid of you and your friends.
What surprises me is the fear you have of my coming to Hawaii.
Not to Hawaii, general, we know you're going to the mainland to negotiate for arms.
( crowd clamoring ) To make war.
To destroy blindly rather than trying to find some reasonable road towards peace.
MAN: To kill.
Let me speak.
We fight and kill only the ones who would take away the freedom we fought all these years to win.
You've been using that excuse for centuries, general.
And bloodshed hasn't gotten us anywhere.
Isn't there a better way? Haven't you ever longed for peace? Wait a minute.
Let me speak.
Always I've longed for peace.
Never have I found a way to attain it.
Then read this, general.
It's a copy of Peace magazine.
We publish it here in the hope that its message will spread over the world.
MAN 2: Read it.
Read it.
If young people can build a bridge, first between people, then between people and their leaders Maybe you'll get a chance to read-- ( gunshot ) ( crowd screaming ) Go! Go! Get outta here! ( melancholy theme playing ) ( tearfully ): Julian He's dead.
Oh Oh, Julian ( sobbing ) ( cool action theme playing ) ( suspenseful theme playing ) This picture was taken just before Julian was shot.
Carole, this is you, correct? Yes.
Mr.
Brechtman, you were here? Yes, sir.
And, Jackie, you were here? Right.
This picture was taken just at the moment of impact.
Carole, this is you again.
Mm? Yes.
Manning West, where were you? I wasn't behind the police line.
I was across the street.
Somewhere just to the right of that picture.
In the crowd.
Over in this area here? That's right.
Doing what? Selling our magazine.
It comes out once a week, ten cents.
Mr.
Horvath, where were you? I, uh was somewhere in that area there, Mr.
McGarrett.
And not too far from that shadow in the doorway.
Selling magazines too? Trying to.
Did you see anything suspicious? Clue me.
Sun glinting off metal.
Somebody who watched the parade who left hurriedly.
Somebody who hung back from the crowd, around these buildings here.
Anything.
Sorry.
Mr.
West, you were in the same general area? That's right.
Just as I started toward the walk, the shot was fired.
Now, look here's that unexplained shadow.
Right here.
Maybe 20, 30 feet from where he was shot.
Now, think.
Let's see.
That would have been to my right.
Sorry, I didn't see anything.
Carole? Nothing.
JACKIE: Me neither.
There were people standing in front of me.
Mr.
Brechtman you're tall.
You could have seen over the heads of those around you.
I wasn't looking toward the street.
I was looking at the general.
If you're through with us, Mr.
McGarrett, we do have the next issue of our magazine to get out.
All right.
If you think of anything you might have overlooked, let me know.
We might as well tell it to you like it is, Mr.
McGarrett.
Your bringing us down here, asking for our help ( scoffs ) makes us sick.
Why, Jackie? Why does it make you sick? A man has been murdered.
In our book, Mr.
McGarrett, you're no better than the man who fired at the general and killed Julian.
I don't understand your logic.
HORVATH: You carry a gun.
Anyone who carries a gun believes in killing.
You are armed, therefore you are prepared to kill.
You finished? Look, I don't feel any need to defend my position or my profession, but I'd like to mention a few names.
John F.
Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King.
And before them, Mahatma Gandhi.
Did you ever hear of them? There are dangerous animals in the world, and some of them walk on two feet.
They don't want peace, and they're not capable of love.
Society, and that means you and you and you and you, need protection from these warped minds, and that's my job.
Nowyou have every right to sing about peace and march about it and write about it.
But what I just told you is the way it is, unfortunately.
That's why we're armed.
I think they're right, Mr.
McGarrett.
But they didn't have to be so rough on you, I'm sorry.
Thank you, Carole.
I appreciate that.
And you all met in this peace movement? That's too big a word, Mr.
McGarrett.
We were just a bunch of kids with magazines and an idea that if enough people wanted a peaceful world, maybe we could have it.
I don't know anything about angles of trajectory or ballistics or evidence.
But I know that we came there today to demonstrate for peace against violence, against death.
Only we lost, didn't we? I abhor violence in any form.
I think that violence breeds violence on any level.
Every war, every riot started with one individual act of violence.
I'm a peace officer.
Euphemism? Maybe.
But I want peace more than anything else in the world.
I hope you'll understand that, Carole.
Try to.
And try to help us.
( guitar playing gentle melody ) ( continues playing gentle melody ) Steve? Hi, Danno.
Brought you a sandwich.
Thanks.
And a lead.
Good.
What do you got? July, 1966, Julian Scott and a young woman named Lannie May Devereaux were found nearly asphyxiated from gas.
Suspected that she turned it on while he was asleep.
Nothing could be proved.
Hm.
Interesting.
Is she a student? No.
Cocktail waitress.
Something else.
Yeah.
H.
P.
D.
found a gun in the kitchen of their pad.
Same caliber as the one that killed Julian Scott, .
38 special.
What happened to it? It was released to the girl.
She had her permit.
( phone rings ) McGarrett.
MAN: McGarrett.
( whimpering ): McGarrett that shooting, earlier today.
Yeah.
Go on.
What about the shooting? Well, do you have any leads? I mean, do you have any idea as to? As to--? As to what? As to what? Who is this, please? What are you trying to say? Well, things happen.
Things aren't always what they seem.
All right.
Would you like to tell me what happened that wasn't what it seemed? I can't.
Sure you can.
Something happened that wasn't what it seemed.
Now, what was it? No.
I can't tell you.
I can't.
And I can't live with it either.
( line clicks ) ( tense theme playing ) ( mysterious theme playing ) Nice operation.
What do you want from us now, Mr.
McGarrett? You got some built-in immunity to rejection? Mr.
McGarrett, we buried Julian this morning.
Even so, he's very much with us right now.
Please be kind enough to leave us alone.
This is not a social call.
Oh, I see.
We either answer more questions, or you take us in again? Do you know a girl named Lannie May Devereaux? Julian used to see her occasionally, why? Do you know where she lives now? Works? Anything about her? You sure? Of course we're sure.
She was a cheap little thing.
Certainly not one of us.
Juliansaw something in her, I guess.
Why the interest? She owns a .
38 caliber revolver.
Your friend Julian was shot with a .
38 caliber.
I don't see what you're driving at, Mr.
McGarrett.
Julian was killed by a shot fired at the general.
Now, what does all this have to do--? Oh, now, wait a minute.
Are you saying that someone deliberately shot at Julian? WEST: No chance.
Everybody loves Julian.
Everybody.
Lesson one: Nobody is loved by everybody.
Somebody may have wanted to kill your friend Julian, whether you'd believe it or not.
Nobody could have wanted to kill Julian.
He was shot.
Somebody fired at the general and missed.
That's all.
You both seem very sure of that.
Well, it seems obvious.
Paul.
Page one box.
Mr.
Brechtman.
You remember any more about the killing than you told me in the office? No, Mr.
McGarrett.
I told you, I didn't see anything.
HORVATH: Mr.
McGarrett we've got nothing against you personally here.
It's just what you represent that bugs us.
You do understand? I'm not even gonna try.
( mysterious theme playing ) What have we got? Lannie May Devereaux.
Positive identification? One of Chin's cousins at the Kalawai Bar.
Makaha Kelly.
Bull's-eye.
She and a guy named Vic Collins were in the bar about 2:00 in the afternoon.
Makaha called, I tailed them.
Do you know anything about this Collins? Makaha says he thinks this guy is in big trouble on the mainland.
Just came back from California.
This is Williams.
Five-O.
Request clearance.
H.
P.
D.
Warrants and holds.
MAN: Clearance obtained, Five-O.
Go ahead, please.
Do you show any warrants or holds on one Victor Collins? No DOB yet nor description, but believed recently returned from the mainland.
Hold on.
Request from L.
A.
P.
D.
received yesterday.
Hold and detain.
Suspicion of armed robbery.
Suspicion of murder one.
Evidence sought included jewelry taken in holdup where store owner was shot to death.
Thank you.
There's our legal authority to go through a door if we have to.
Let's go.
( tense theme playing ) Collins inside? Yeah.
He's big and mean-looking.
Chin, cover the back.
If we have any trouble with Collins, try to keep her clear.
Okay.
DANNY: Hawaii Five-O.
( solemn theme playing ) Kono, call Steve.
Tell him Tell him we've got Lannie May Devereaux.
Anything special you need in Julian's desk, Manning? I was looking for the glue.
Come on, Manning.
You can do better than that.
I locked that box before I left.
I see you forced it, for the glue, of course.
It was a rather weak excuse.
Actually, I was looking for some possible evidence that might help us in our investigation.
Manning, I've been thinking about that.
Last night we agreed to hold our own investigation to see if possibly one of us could have killed Julian.
Well, it is possible, you know.
And if so, we turn him over to McGarrett without the publicity of a police hunt.
And then no one would think we were fanatics or commies or wild-eyed kids who didn't know what they're doing.
And now you don't wanna find the killer, is that it? Why? You afraid again, Ned, old buddy? The only thing I'm afraid of is that we're not qualified to sit in judgment.
Oh, nonsense.
You were afraid when we started the marches.
Afraid when we started approaching powerful people and defying them.
It's always easier for you behind your typewriter.
It's always easier for you not to act.
That's not true, and you know it.
Isn't it? When were you brave, for once? All right.
Let's do some investigating.
I think you were looking for evidence in Julian's locker.
I think you were looking for this letter you wrote to Julian.
You You read it? I'm sorry.
I did.
I was going through his papers to see if he left us any unfinished business.
Well, this isn't evidence of much except my affection for him.
And that you challenged his leadership.
Every organization needs somebody to spur them on.
I wanted to help him.
We all wanted to help him.
I wanted to help him.
You hated Julian.
I loved him.
But he didn't love you.
Oh, no.
That's not true.
It was you who fought with him constantly, didn't you? Answer the question, Ned.
We argued over goals for the magazine.
A difference of viewpoints.
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
What was your viewpoint when Julian stepped towards the general to hand him a copy of the magazine, into the line of fire? ( suspenseful theme playing ) ( ominous theme playing ) Am I under arrest? I don't know yet.
Do you know anything about a .
38 caliber revolver? Is that what Victor was carrying? No, he had a .
45.
A .
38 was found in the room that you and Julian Scott almost died in three years ago.
It belonged to me.
What happened to it? It was returned to me.
Where is it now? I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know? It was yours.
It was in your possession.
You must know what happened to it.
I think Julian took it.
Took it away from me.
He didn't want me to have it.
He didn't want anyone to have anything to do with guns, you know? What did he do with it? I don't know! What's so important about a stupid gun?! Julian was killed with a .
38 caliber revolver.
Now, what happened in that room that night three years ago? Someone tried to kill us.
By turning on the gas? Yes.
Who was it? I don't know.
Lannie, tell me the truth.
It is the truth, Mr.
McGarrett.
All I know is that he quarreled with someone on the phone.
Did he mention the name? No.
But it was someone from the magazine.
He told you that? No, but they were talking about the magazine, quarrelling.
Mr.
McGarrett, is it important? Yes.
Very important.
Lannie, you and Collins checked in here just three hours after Julian was killed.
Any connection? Sure.
I knew you'd be after me.
Why hide? You haven't seen him in three years.
Oh, but I did.
I saw him only a couple of nights ago, as a matter of fact.
Why? Why did you see him? He came to say goodbye.
That he knew now that he loved somebody else.
Carole? Yes.
What about Collins? Collins was a loser.
I'm a loser.
We get along.
Okay, that's all for now, Lannie.
Report to the officers outside.
We'll have to know where to reach you.
Lannie do me a favor, will you? Stop running away with losers.
Anything? Hm.
She didn't kill Julian.
How can you be so sure? Cop instinct.
( calm theme playing ) Hello, Ned.
What are you doing here, Mr.
Williams? Oh, trying to get us some more information about the killing of Julian Scott.
You never give up, do you? You wouldn't really want us to.
Putting down violence, getting rid of all the guns and gunmen in this world, that's our bag as well as yours.
You won't find anything to put in your bag here.
We've got a play going into production next week.
I've got a lot of work to do.
You wouldn't have a .
38 revolver as a prop in that play, would you? What's that supposed to mean? Julian had a .
38 revolver.
Never.
It was given to him by Lannie May Devereaux.
Where is it, Ned? None of us ever had a gun.
Someone shot Julian with one.
Not one of us.
How do you know? We're a group against arms, or haven't you heard? We heard.
We also heard you had an argument with Julian the night before he was killed.
I'm busy, Mr.
Williams.
You wanna talk to me again, I want an attorney.
And you'd better come up with charges and evidence.
Good, Paul.
Ned with a gun.
I can't believe it's his.
Maybe it's not.
Maybe it's Julian's.
The one he took from Lannie May.
I don't understand, Manning.
What would Ned be doing with it? Possibly he stole it from Julian.
I-I don't know.
All I know is I caught a glimpse of metal when Ned's locker was open the other day.
I didn't connect it with a gun until the police started questioning.
None of this has any meaning, Manning.
The maybes, the possibilities, we're only guessing.
Thinking wild, wild thoughts.
There's only one way to pin it all down.
Ask Ned about it.
Isn't that for the police to do? We were Julian's friends.
Ned owes us an explanation.
I think Jackie's right.
I think we should call McGarrett.
Please, Manning? In time.
In time.
But if Ned did kill Julian, he killed something inside each of us.
I say we should find out.
Look, confessing to us will be harder for him than confessing to the police.
That'll be his real punishment.
Look aren't we all like brothers and sisters? ( suspenseful theme playing ) ( wood banging ) NED: Somebody out there? Who's there? What's going on in here? ( clatter ) Oh, come on, whoever you are, let me see you.
Look, whatever the gag is, it isn't funny.
It's no gag, Ned.
Manning? That's right, Ned.
I and some of the others.
Wh? Wh-what are you doing here? What's this all about? Ned we're putting you on trial for the murder of Julian Scott.
( ominous theme playing ) ( suspenseful theme playing ) You're not going through with this.
Not with me as the accused.
If you're innocent, why are you so afraid of learning the truth? I'm not afraid.
You were with us when we decided to investigate our own group.
Yes.
Yes, I was.
Well, then, this is part of it.
If you're innocent, you don't have anything to worry about.
Okay.
Let's go ahead with it.
What happened the last time you saw Julian in the office before he was killed? Did you quarrel again? No.
No, it wasn't exactly a quarrel.
You opposed going to meet the general, the march.
But I'd always done that.
That's right.
I had to point that out to Julian.
You're always pointing something out.
Pointing out to-- To Julian that I was too weak.
Pointing out to me that Julian was too ambitious, too anxious to lead.
Wait a minute.
Think back.
Did I say "too ambitious" or just "ambitious"? Did I say "too anxious to lead" or just "anxious"? He led us all, Ned.
But I didn't want to go.
I didn't want to be led anymore.
Not by him and not by you.
Did you tell him that? You did tell him, huh? What did he say? He was furious.
He said I was letting him down betraying him.
He said that three young men, you, Julian and I, had proven that they could make great men listen to them heed them even bow.
He said Ishould go with him to the general.
And then I could get out.
He said now he wanted me out.
Certainly that was no reason for Ned to kill him.
I didn't kill him! Well, yes, I was angry.
I'd given as much as anybody, worked as hard.
But I I thought I'd wait until the next day.
Did you think that Julian might change his mind? Yeah, sure.
I'd figured he thought it over.
Well, I mean, two years.
There was so many things I'd gotten used to.
( scoffs ) Or thought I had.
I, uh I'd worked six weeks to get a date with a girl, take her to a party.
And, uh in an hour, Julian'd take her away from me.
But I thought that's the way it is.
A little funny, really.
Just before the procession started I tried to talk to Julian.
But he looked right through me.
And later, everyone was waving, calling after him.
But don't you see? It-- It could have happened to any one of you.
He got rid of me, but it could have been anyone else.
It had all become his own thing.
We had all become his own thing.
You said as much, Manning.
I don't think I ever said that.
I don't remember saying that.
Does everyone remember my ever saying anything against Julian? What did you do with the gun, Ned? I never had a gun.
We found this in your locker tonight, Ned.
We think it's the gun that killed Julian.
Wh It can't be.
I never had a gun.
Well, you all know me better than that.
You know I'd never have a gun.
There was only one time you weren't afraid to act.
Only one time you were brave.
It's not true.
I didn't kill him.
I didn't.
What we've put Ned through just now is shameful.
I'm asking you whether you believe he's innocent or guilty.
Manning, he might possibly have had a motive.
But that's all.
A motive and a gun.
Please, let's stop this! Jackie's right.
That's enough.
Am I the only one who believes that we should decide his guilt or innocence right here and now? Manning, we're not equipped to decide.
You said if any evidence was uncovered, you'd turn it over to McGarrett.
That's the way to go, Manning.
We don't want any part of this anymore.
Okay.
Okay.
I had no intention of setting myself up as judge and jury.
If that's the way you all want it, that's the way it'll be.
( somber theme playing ) We'll go to McGarrett in the morning.
Nice that you're all through playing God, Manning.
I think it's time we all went home.
You're right, Ned.
I think it is.
( horn honks ) Please, get into the car, Ned.
Put that thing down.
I'm not going to the police.
You embarrassed me enough last night.
I wouldn't dream of embarrassing you, Ned.
We're not going to the police.
You drive.
Go on.
MAN: It's about that telephone call.
I'm the one who made it.
Oh? Sit down.
What exactly were you trying to say? I saw something when Julian was shot.
What did you see? Manning.
He was in the shadows.
I thought I saw him pointing toward the general.
Pointing or aiming a gun? I didn't know.
I wasn't sure.
I didn't want to destroy everything we'd worked for by-- By a wrong accusation.
So you made the call hoping that we'd find out for you, huh? You see I was getting more worried.
I thought if somebody among us would kill, maybe he'd kill again.
Maybe even me if he suspected I'd seen him.
If you couldn't bring yourself to tell me this on the phone, what made you come in now? Well, it doesn't matter anymore.
Why not? Well, Manning must have told you about the trial.
What trial? When he questioned Ned Horvath, accused him of being guilty.
Well, he did come in, didn't he? I mean, bring the gun with him.
He had a gun? Sure, a .
38.
He was going to He was going to what? I don't know.
I thought he was going to be here.
Where's Manning now? I have his address, Steve.
And Horvath's.
Let's go.
Get a description of Manning's car.
Put out an APB.
It's done, boss.
( bold action theme playing ) CHIN HO: McGarrett.
Yeah, McGarrett standing by.
Got a report on Manning's car.
Heading toward Ku'uipo Point.
Ten-four.
Kam Highway and Naupaka.
( waves crashing ) Going out to the end of the point.
The view should be beautiful now, Ned.
I want you to jump, Ned.
How can you take a human life like this? A human life? In the first six weeks of the Spanish Civil War, they took In World War One, they gave 100,000 human lives to capture eight miles of mud.
I'm only going to take one human life.
A life that's meaningless in time and history.
If you think I killed Julian take me to the police.
Carole, Jackie, Brechtman, they know I didn't kill Julian.
But they don't know I did.
Sooner or later, McGarrett would find that out.
You'd tell him about the letter I wrote to Julian, and then he'd have the motive.
But your suicide will indicate that you're the guilty one, Ned.
Please understand.
You're mad.
Jump, Ned.
Do it with style and grace, the way Julian might have done it.
Come on, move on out there, Ned.
( sirens wailing in distance ) It's so demeaning for both of us if I have to push you.
( tense action theme playing ) There they are.
Get him to a hospital.
There's nowhere to go, Manning.
You'll never make it.
You're boxed, Manning.
Freeze.
You're boxed.
( gunshot ) ( gasping ) Sorry to give you such a rough time, McGarrett.
But the ancient Greeks did not go meekly into chains either.
I admired them.
You admired Julian too, didn't you? Yes.
Why did you try to kill him the night he was with Lannie Devereaux? I felt he betrayed me.
Used all of us.
Is that why you shot him, later on? I didn't go there for that reason.
Is that why you finally shot him? Do you know what--? What magnacide is? Yeah.
The killing of a great person.
To call attention to and make famous the killer.
I found Lannie's gun where Julian had hidden it.
I went there intending to kill the general.
And suddenly I saw Julian.
Everything I wantedto be.
Handsome respected by everyone a shining leader with Carole standing beside him.
I was a fool to change my mind at the last minute.
Now I'm going to die for nothing.
But you know, McGarrett, I don't mind.
It's better to command in hell than serve in heaven.
Someone said that.
Only you're not going to die, Manning.
You'll have a lifetime in an iron box to think about it.
Steve.
Danno.
Ambulance on the way down.
Horvath'll be okay.
Good.
He'll be all right too.
I just winged him.
You know Chinese say all the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.
I think we got some pretty good seeds in those other kids, Danno, don't you? Yeah.
( dramatic theme playing ) ( cool action theme playing )
