Hawaii Five-O (1968) s02e11 Episode Script

Leopard on the Rock

Wind velocity steady, on course, on time, et cetera and so forth.
President Jhakal awake yet? Awake and indulging in his favorite pastime.
John? Those bodyguards of his, do they ever talk? Not with their tongues.
The way they talk, Alec, you wouldn't want them to.
- We are on schedule? - Yes, Your Excellency.
- What is it? - I don't know.
Move, idiot.
Find out.
Alec, what's the trouble? Air brakes malfunction.
I can't - There.
- Okay? For now, but we're not continuing on to Geneva.
We're a little more than two hours out of Honolulu.
I'm gonna radio ahead for permission to change course and land for inspection and repairs.
And the Hawaii Tourist Bureau has predicted that the tourist invasion will go over two million this year, taxing the aloha spirit of the islands and We've just received a bulletin.
Honolulu Air Traffic Control reports that a jet en route to Geneva has radioed for permission to land for inspection and repairs.
It is the personal plane of President Utomo Jhakal, which took off from his nation's capital a little more than five hours ago for a two-week tour of capitals in Latin America and Europe on a goodwill and trade mission.
Jhakal has been called, by some political commentators, the savior of Asia, by others, the Asiatic Hitler.
The pilot of the plane, Captain Alec MacLeod, has reported some malfunctioning in the air flap controls.
Bloody trustworthy, that MacLeod.
Knew he wouldn't fail us.
Not when the stake is a share in $10 million.
- Our share is bigger.
- Yeah, so is our risk.
When the plane touches down, Hawaii will be the host to the only two men ever to run for president of Jhakal's country.
Jhakal himself, and Akbar Savang, visiting professor of Eastern Philosophies at Hawaii University.
Savang, now in exile, has been teaching at universities here and in Europe, as well as acting as titular head of a shadow opposition government.
And you won that election, grandfather.
Yes, but he had the generals and the guns.
What are you going to do? What would you have me do, Banu? Kill him? Yes, if you could, kill him.
The plane will be landing at Honolulu International Airport in approximately two hours.
In Wall Street today, early - Top of the morning to you.
- Have you heard? - Heard what? - Where's Steve? Don't know.
Heard what? Utomo Jhakal is making an emergency landing.
Fidel Castro would be more popular in Miami.
- Boss - I heard.
I need you, brother, Jenny, get me the governor.
No calls, please.
We got approximately an hour and 55 minutes to prepare.
Chin, contact the State Department.
Tell them we need an immediate computer run on all alien registration cards from natives of Jhakal's country.
Then check the employment records of the airport.
Anyone from Jhakal's country is to be temporarily suspended.
- Right.
- Oh, wait a minute.
Same procedure on any supply companies and trucks that service the airport.
On my way.
Kono.
This is the area.
This is where most of the aliens and émigrés from Jhakal's country have located.
Right in here.
Contact H.
P.
D.
Tell them we need patrols in the whole area, particularly cafes, ethnic clubs, and political organizations.
- Just surveillance? - Just surveillance.
We don't want to prevent demonstrations, just control them.
Right.
- Morning, brother.
- Just the man I'm looking for.
Danno, I want you to Yes, Jenny? Yes, of course.
Put him on.
Yes, governor.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir, I heard.
No, sir, I don't think that's necessary.
I think it might provoke more trouble than it would solve.
Yes, sir, standby would be fine.
No, no, I won't hesitate to call.
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much.
Danno, get out to the airport.
Check normal security.
Find out how many additional men we'll need to cover every entrance.
- Right.
- I'll join you at the field - as soon as I'm finished.
- Doing what? Trying to keep one match away from the fuse.
I can include some remarks from Buddha today.
- Aren't you going to do anything? - Certainly, Banu.
Continue teaching my classes at the university.
I don't understand you.
My mother, my father, your own son died in Jhakal's prisons.
Have you forgotten that? I haven't forgotten.
And still you will do nothing? Do you have a suggestion, Banu? Demand that the American State Department intern him.
Banu, he is the president of a sovereign nation.
The illegal head.
That is not the American government's responsibility.
Then whose? The American government supports anyone who isn't a communist, including a murderer, a butcher like Jhakal.
- Can't you demand that? - All right.
All right.
Demand.
Demand.
I'll do that.
I'll demand that evil be destroyed.
I'll demand that poverty and misery be abolished.
I'll demand a perfect world.
I have demanded.
And other than a hoarse voice, I've accomplished nothing.
Banu, I tell you that when I do something, I will do more than demand.
- Professor Savang.
- Mr.
McGarrett, head of Five-0.
- Come in.
- Thank you.
My granddaughter.
It's hard enough understanding young people, but with her parents dead, I'm afraid there's a double generation gap.
Come in.
Please sit down.
No, thank you.
I gather you're here because Jhakal will be arriving soon, huh? Your countrymen are not particularly fond of the president.
Mr.
McGarrett, you have a gift for understatement, but why come to me? I need your help.
Help? How can I help? Public statement on radio and television.
An appeal to your countrymen, your followers here not to provoke any kind of demonstrations or disorders.
You're asking too much.
I will not call on men to betray their principles.
All right.
Would you promise not to make any statement at all? - Would that help you? - It might.
All right, Mr.
McGarrett.
That I can promise you.
- Thank you, professor.
- You're welcome.
Mr.
McGarrett, you have an extremely difficult job ahead of you.
Jhakal has many personal as well as political enemies.
I know.
Your son died in his prison, didn't he? In this case, Mr.
McGarrett, the word prison is a euphemism.
People who lived nearby had to cover their ears.
The screams kept them awake at night.
"Vengeance is mine," said the Lord.
No, Mr.
McGarrett, I don't believe in personal vengeance, but there are many people who have lost relatives who do.
Here he is.
- You fool.
- Be quiet.
- Hello, Bao.
- Hello.
- Make me a hamburger, will you? - Sure.
Where is everybody? They all die or something? - Please, Meilang, you can't succeed.
- At least I'll have tried.
But you have no plan.
Plans we had in the campaign against Jhakal.
We had the ballots too.
- Savang has said - Savang? He does nothing but make speeches, while Jhakal grinds our country under his heel.
All things take time, Meilang.
I have no time.
Jhakal always speaks of his destiny.
How the gods watch over his fate.
Well, this time the gods sent him here.
And the gods sent a driver on his way to the airport.
So like Jhakal, I don't mock them, but take the opportunity they present.
- Hey, Banu.
- Hi.
- We got here as soon as we could.
- That's fine.
Get your signs from Khandow.
Hey, Pepe, you wanna stick another dime in the meter? Phyllis? Mickey Devlin.
Demonstration at the airport protesting the arrival of Jhakal.
About a half hour.
Can you make it? Good.
Look, get everybody you can and get down here.
Banu, I'm out of dimes.
You got any? Oh, no.
Kensey, give Mickey some dimes.
Looks like the authorities will be kept busy.
Anything to keep the attention on Jhakal, off the plane.
If he leaves the money on it.
Oh, I doubt he'll carry $10 million around with him.
And he's in no position to seek protection for it, since he's stealing it from his own country's Treasury.
I'll see if I can find out which maintenance hangar they're preparing.
You check the area.
- See how extensive the security is.
- Right.
Announcing Flight 14 from New York and Los Angeles now arriving at Gate 8.
Flight 427 will level off at 8,000 feet and circle until cleared for landing approach.
How long are we gonna be stacked up? The field is being kept clear for an emergency landing.
You'll get an approach pattern as soon as possible.
Okay, Chin.
What you got? The alien registration card shows eight natives of Jhakal's country working here.
They've been suspended with pay until Jhakal leaves.
We're also checking the service vehicles before they enter the field.
Good.
Kono? I checked with employment records Look, I said - All right, send him in.
- Who? The consul from Jhakal's country.
He insists on seeing you.
- Mr.
McGarrett.
- Yes.
Luang Koryo.
We met at a reception for the governor.
I was concerned about security precautions for my president.
But now that I see you and the Hawaii Five-0 people are in charge, - I needn't worry.
- Well, thank you.
And not that anyone would want to harm President Jhakal.
- No.
- There are always a few malcontents, such as those demonstrators at the airport entrance.
You'll disperse them, naturally.
- Mister? - Koryo.
Mr.
Koryo, in this country, we don't disperse or prevent demonstrations.
We just see that they're conducted lawfully.
What do you hear from H.
P.
D? The refugees are trying to round up everyone they can for a big demonstration.
The longer Jhakal's here, the bigger it'll be.
Hopefully, that won't be long.
Are you all set up for inspection and repair? Yes, we have senior mechanics on standby.
We've set aside hangar 27 for Jhakal's plane only.
Our problem is we have no idea what's wrong or the work involved.
I anticipated that, Mr.
McGarrett, and reserved a suite at the Lelani Hotel for President Jhakal.
You'll provide security there, of course.
If Jhakal's there, we'll be there.
What about chartering another plane for President Jhakal and his party so they can take off right away? We'll send his plane back when it's repaired.
- Good idea, Danno.
What about? - President Jhakal will not agree.
He's very particular about being surrounded by familiar things and people.
Well, it won't hurt to check.
What about it, Mr.
Abbott? Is there a plane available for immediate charter? I can certainly find out.
Yes? The tower? Put them on, please.
Yes.
Thank you.
Jhakal's plane is approaching the field.
They'll be on the ground in minutes.
At 4,000 feet, make a 90-degree turn to come in over the east end of the field toward landing strip two.
Rate of descent, normal.
Touchdown speed not to exceed 225 miles per hour.
Will comply.
Will comply.
Out.
I'll take it.
Check the flaps and landing gear.
Flaps and landing gear, check.
Pressure, okay.
Fasten seatbelts.
For two years, I have tried to get an invitation for a state visit to America.
Always avoided.
Now I will not only be an unwelcomed guest, but also uninvited.
That gas truck is going to ram the plane.
Book him.
Gods do watch over him.
- How long? - Not sure.
Twenty-four, maybe 36 hours.
The captain wants a complete check of the plane's entire electrical and hydraulic system.
By the time we get it all checked out What about that idea of chartering another plane? Jhakal won't go for it.
What are you gonna do? Protect him from his beloved countrymen, of course.
Well, it looks like 24 to 36 hours.
Then I am to stay at least a day on your island.
Your Excellency, I have already reserved a lovely suite at the Lelani for you.
Security? Extensive, considering you won't be using it.
His Excellency will not be cooped up on this plane while it's being repaired.
No, Mr.
Koryo.
His Excellency will not be cooped up.
We'll be using the suite at the Lelani, but President Jhakal will not be in it.
But I don't understand.
Security of a different kind.
It will be occupied by one of my men, Kono.
Very clever.
But I was hoping to see Hawaii, enjoy it.
It's very unfortunate, this climate of How do they say it? Climate of violence in America.
This climate of violence in America is being created by your own countrymen, Mr.
President.
Mr.
McGarrett, you are a policeman, not a politician.
Exactly, and I'm concerned with facts not opinions.
Then you are misinformed.
Anyone who lives in Hawaii cannot be considered one of my countrymen.
In my country, I am a savior.
I am worshiped.
Of course, Your Excellency.
These are your followers.
I consider this very unprofessional.
And I consider it a lot of work.
- Danno.
- Not yet, Mr.
McGarrett.
Our business has not concluded.
Where is the prisoner? The assassin? He's being booked.
That means he will be severely punished? - That means he'll be questioned - By me, of course.
No, sir, by me.
In my country, he would beg to talk.
And he would talk until his mouth ran dry.
What will you do? Slap him on the wrist? What happens to him now is the business of the state of Hawaii.
He tried to kill me! It is my business! - What His Excellency means - Silence! An attack on me is not an ordinary crime! Mr.
McGarrett knows very well.
He knows exactly what I mean.
Yes, Mr.
President, I know exactly what you mean.
And that's why you won't get any closer to him than he got to you.
Danno, make the arrangement for Kono.
Right.
Down with Jhakal.
Down with Jhakal.
Mickey.
Mickey.
Mickey, they're bringing Jhakal in now.
We've got to stop them.
Make a real protest.
- How? - Make a human chain.
- What? - A wall.
Jhakal's coming.
Let's go.
Hey, I could get used to this kind of life.
Don't get too comfortable, brother.
Prison for the tyrant.
We shall not be moved.
Prison for the tyrant.
We shall not be moved.
Prison for the tyrant.
We shall not be moved.
Prison for the tyrant.
We shall not be moved.
Prison for the tyrant.
We shall not be moved.
Prison for the tyrant.
We shall not be moved.
- You happen to be obstructing traffic.
- Prison for the tyrant.
- We shall not be moved.
- You happen to be obstructing traffic.
That's the idea.
In violation of traffic ordinance 7382.
- Why did you stop? - Why didn't you just run over us? Like Jhakal has crushed our nation.
That man belongs in jail.
He's a murderer.
That's not up to me.
I'm not his judge.
- Well who is? - The establishment owns the judges.
They own the pigs.
- When does the shooting start? - Why don't you just mow us down? Nobody's gonna be mown down.
Nobody's gonna be shot down.
Why not? Jhakal and their police never stopped before.
I don't work for Jhakal.
You do his bidding.
I work for Hawaii Five-0, a department of the state government of Hawaii.
- Grandfather was right, Mickey.
- What? Demands and demonstrations are a waste of time.
We did what we could.
We tried.
Oh, we tried, and we failed.
Hey, we'll find out where he is, and we'Il And protest? Oh, no, Mickey.
No one respects protest.
They only respect what they fear.
And they fear violence.
Well? They're using hangar 27 on the far side of the field.
- It's tougher to get to.
- Yes.
But once we get there, considerably easier to operate unnoticed.
How's the security? As near as I can tell, most of it just left.
Leaving that winged bird lightly tended for us to pluck in the middle of the night.
Let's return to the hotel for a swim to put us in the proper frame of mind for the night's work ahead.
We're ready, Mr.
President.
In a moment.
State papers and trade agreements.
They can't be left unguarded in the plane.
I could keep them at the consul for safety, Your Excellency.
They will be safe enough.
- Not you, Mr.
Koryo.
- What? Only my men will know where the president is staying.
I find that implication insulting.
Your Excellency, will you tell this gentleman? Mr.
McGarrett may have a point.
You question my loyalty, Your Excellency? Mr.
McGarrett is a cautious man.
I respect caution.
As you wish, sir.
May I point out that you will be out of touch with the government for a considerable length of time.
As I said, I respect caution.
- Koryo will accompany us.
- I don't recommend it.
He will accompany us.
Very well, sir.
How dare you.
I have diplomatic immunity.
As the president says, I am a cautious man.
Keep me informed of all governmental communications.
- Yes, Your Excellency.
- This way, sir.
- Tail him.
- The consul? Jhakal doesn't trust anyone, neither do I.
You'll get the file in the morning.
- Chin on one, boss.
Important.
- Thanks, Jenny.
Yeah, Chin? Go.
Good.
Good.
H- O-O-D, Hood-Clovis and Walters.
Yeah.
Yeah, I got it, Chin.
Good.
Thank you.
Nice work.
Koryo met with these two men.
Hood-Clovis and Walters.
They're registered at Helici.
Run a make on them.
Check ship manifests, airlines, everything.
- Right.
- Jenny, call H.
P.
D.
Tell them we need double security on the Lelani Hotel.
As though Jhakal was really there.
Kono is.
And a bullet marked for Jhakal won't detour for him.
He's clean.
- Linens.
- We have to check them.
Wow, look at that food.
There's a lot to be said about living like a dictator.
- Who pays for all this? - The sovereign state of Hawaii.
I think.
For my mother and father.
I could have killed you.
A man I don't even know.
I could have killed you.
Hood-Clovis, Malcolm.
No alias.
English national.
Arrested for burglary in California.
Served two years.
Also served time in the Union of South Africa and Australia.
Not wanted for anything at present.
Walters, Earl.
Alias Bert Harman, alias Martin Hager.
Indicted twice for armed robbery.
No convictions.
Drafted by Army, currently listed as AWOL from 53rd Chemical Warfare Battalion.
Stationed in Utah.
When I was a kid, my old man taught us a rhyme.
He had six honest serving men, they taught him all he knew.
Their names were where and when and what and why and how and who.
What is their connection with Koryo, Danno? Yeah, Jenny.
Yeah, sure.
Put him on.
Chin, what you got? Akbar Savang's now? And Koryo is with him? No, no, no.
Bring them both in for questioning.
Right away.
Good.
- Interesting.
- What's that? Koryo and Savang are together.
Savang? Wasn't he the former head of government? Yeah.
And Koryo is the consul for the present government.
- Add that up.
- No way.
They ought to be enemies.
They're in business together.
When we dig under the surface of this thing, I have a feeling that the pilot of Jhakal's plane is in on it.
No mechanical failure.
No mechanical failure, pilot plan.
All of this.
I might just as well have stayed on the plane.
Take it away.
- Where is Hawaii? - Pardon? Is it out there? I have seen nothing but the inside of a truck and this room.
Open the drapes.
I'm sorry, Mr.
President, but Mr.
McGarrett gave us strict orders Orders? I am a head of state.
The precautions are for your own safety, sir.
Only the weak feed themselves with so much caution.
Habu.
Mr.
Koryo and I are personal friends.
You're supposed to be political enemies.
A man's politics are his business.
Not when they're illegally practiced in somebody else's country.
Not when two criminals are involved.
I had no idea Mr.
Hood-Clovis and Walters were criminals.
- Oh, just personal friends? - Acquaintances, yes.
And you expect me to believe that none of this has anything to do with President Jhakal? Mr.
McGarrett, I would never consider harming Jhakal.
There's no quicker way of making a man a martyr, and martyrdom is a gift I have no desire to make.
Yeah.
What gift do you desire to make? I know my rights under the Constitution.
I demand to be charged or released.
McGarrett.
What? Is he all right? No, no.
No, not yet.
No.
No, hold her until I get back to you.
Yes.
Right away.
It seems that not everybody in your family feels as you do about making a martyr out of Jhakal.
I don't understand.
Your granddaughter just tried to kill him.
It's impossible.
- She does not know where he is.
- Well, she thought she did.
She took a shot at the man I had standing in for him.
She's only a child.
Then you accept responsibility for her action? What? What do you mean? I want some answers right now, when they can do some good.
Are you using my granddaughter to threaten me? I don't threaten anybody, professor.
I'm telling you that the charges against your granddaughter can be greatly influenced by your cooperation or your lack of it.
I'm sorry, Koryo.
I can only hope we've already succeeded.
All right, Mr.
McGarrett.
Jhakal has been systematically looting our country.
He's been transferring funds from the Treasury into Swiss numbered accounts.
He's carrying 10 million in Swiss francs, pounds and American dollars on this trip.
And you and Koryo planned to have it stolen by Hood-Clovis and Walters.
Well, it travels by diplomatic dispatch, immune from search.
Yes, we were planning to have it stolen, but publicly returned.
The publicity would be enough to overthrow Jhakal.
If you ever see the money.
Let's go.
Get the back.
Freeze.
Hold it.
Drop it.
Drop it.
What kind of gas did you use? It's an experimental gas from the Army.
Lethal? No.
It'll wear off in an hour or so.
It better.
Book him.
Get the loot.
Impound it for material evidence.
Well, Jhakal's theft has been exposed, and the money is safe.
We accomplished what we set out to do, as you did.
No apologies, Mr.
McGarrett.
No regrets.
Thank you for your help.
Don't thank me.
You're both under arrest.
Book them.
