Hawaii Five-O (1968) s08e05 Episode Script

Hi, Suzy.
You're looking great.
No, not now, Curt.
- No.
No.
- What's the matter? You'd better count it.
Did you have a bad flight or something? No.
How much? A hundred and fifty thousand.
I believe it.
Where's your luggage? At the hotel.
And it's gonna stay there unless I get some answers.
Well, now, let's hear some questions.
No, Curt.
Okay, Suzy, what gives? Did you know you've been the subject of a lot of conversation recently? - Vegas conversation? - Yes.
I wasn't supposed to know.
I just happened to be at the wrong place at the right time.
Yeah, well, what did you hear? They're pretty sure that you've had your hand in the till.
- That's crazy.
- Is it? Then why have I been dropping the money off here instead of at the usual place? Bringing the money directly to me here has just been a precaution.
No, Curt.
It makes it easier for you to take from the top before you alter the books and make the deposits.
Okay, Suzy, so you put it together.
So what? - What does it get you? - What do you mean? I mean that they know about us.
Our thing.
I'll say you were in it with me.
That'll put you in just as deep as me.
I won't let you involve me.
You don't have any other choice, do you? There is.
There's one way.
If you're talking about going to the cops, forget it.
All they have on me is delivering dirty money.
- And that'll get you one to five.
- Yeah, well, maybe it'll be worth it.
Put it down, Suzy.
No, Curt.
Put it down, Suzy.
Stay away.
- Put it down.
- No, Cur Operator.
Send an ambulance please.
Hi.
Danno, what have we got? Right now, there's a lot of unanswered questions.
Looks like he put up a pretty good fight though.
Doc? Near as I can tell, he was hit with two slugs.
One was fired from short-range, the other one from at least ten feet and went right through the heart.
Even the money-laundering business isn't safe anymore.
Especially when it's gambling money out of Las Vegas.
The trouble is he'll be replaced.
As long as Las Vegas keeps sending its skim money here for investments, Transoceanic Development will be here to do the laundry.
Are both slugs recoverable from the body? Looks that way.
As soon as I've got them, I'll get with Che.
Have him call me as soon as you get a report.
Will do.
- Steve? - Yeah.
Got a witness says she saw a woman entering the house here, five, maybe ten minutes before we got the call.
- Any description? - Only that she had blond hair and wearing a brown print dress.
But it gets better.
The lady was driving a gold Mustang convertible.
- Plate number? - Negative.
Okay.
Get out an APB.
Have H.
P.
D.
Cover this area.
See if they can come up with anything more than the car and the lady.
Done.
Look at this, Danno.
Yeah.
Landlady said this guy was a bachelor.
Have the boys pull this place apart.
- Maybe we can come up with motive.
- Right.
- Hi.
- Hi.
By any chance do you know a Rob Bradshaw? I think he lives somewhere out here.
Heard the name but - That's okay.
Thank you.
- Sorry.
Hey, Bo Hold on a minute.
- Do you know a dude named - Robert Bradshaw? - Bradshaw.
Rob the Glasser? A glasser is someone who coats a surfboard with fiberglass.
Kind of an artist like.
Not just kind of, Rob's one of the best.
Well, it could be him.
I haven't seen him for a while.
Do you know where I could find this Rob the Glasser? Sure, he lives about a quarter of a mile from here.
You walk down there about three blocks, then you get to a telephone pole with a number painted on it - then you make a right - Why don't you take her, Bo? - Oh, no, that's okay.
I can find it.
- Well, sure.
All the waves will be here when I get back.
- Come on.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Do you have any idea, any idea at all, what this means? It couldn't have be helped, Mr.
Brolin.
Well, you know how it is in Waikiki.
I spent over two hours looking for her.
Big and dumb.
Are you through, Charlie? Or do you have a thing about rehashing the insignificant? Insignificant? Las Vegas really sends me winners.
That girl, Mr.
Hatch, knows drop points, she knows names.
My name.
Yeah.
Now, what's she gonna do with them? Tell the cops? Come on, man.
But if the police do catch up with her, and she talks Look, Charlie, don't sweat it.
Exposing the Anderson rip-off put you at the top of your class.
I hear you're up for a promotion.
You know, Mr.
Hatch, you can wear very thin, very fast.
I know, but I do good work.
Even if our little girl does try to get away, without money or any kind of identification, she's not gonna go very far.
And if she does try to split, my man here's got people watching her hotel, the airport.
I'll find her, Charlie, and I'll kill her.
And you'll still be a hero.
What is it? Mr.
McGarrett from Hawaii Five-0 is here to see you.
All right.
Tell him it will be just a few minutes.
Yes, sir.
McGarrett? Yes.
The biggest reason you damn well better be resourceful.
Through there.
Anybody home? - Rob? - Yeah.
Did you forget you have a sister, or you always stare at people like that? No, I didn't forget.
I gotta admit, I had a few lapses here and there.
Oh, Rob.
Your hair's a little longer, skin a little darker.
No radical changes, huh? Well, maybe a few.
You can see I'm a working man now.
I heard.
Last time I saw you, I was a bum.
Come here.
- You want a beer? - No, you go ahead.
So, what about you? Last time I heard, you were working in Las Vegas.
Not anymore.
So, what are you into? Oh, nothing.
Sort of in between, I guess.
In between's not so bad if you've got someplace to go while you decide.
Actually, Rob, l I'm just passing through.
Three years and you're just passing through? That's right.
Susan, you wanna run that by me one more time? - No, listen to me, Rob.
- I don't wanna listen.
I've been through this before with you.
Why'd you come around? Because you're the only I need a couple hundred dollars.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
Why don't you ask one of your Las Vegas friends for it? Jeff, come on out.
Hi.
Maybe if I go out and make another entrance.
No, it's okay.
It's a family quarrel.
Family? Rob, you've been holding out on me.
Hi.
I'm Jeff.
And you're? - Susan.
- Good to know you, Susan.
You got those boards ready? Yeah, they're right over here.
Be gone in a flash.
Let you two get back in the ring.
Undeniably, Curt Anderson had an eye for the ladies.
I'm sorry, I can't do any better than that.
Oh, I think you can, Brolin, but won't because it isn't in your best interests.
McGarrett, master of the oblique.
Oblique? That's your style, not mine.
I simply don't see anything unusual about a few items of lady's clothing in a man's closet, especially a man like Curt.
You know, your lack of cooperation is really stupid because it makes me wonder maybe the lady has something to tell us.
Something that you or Vegas might find embarrassing, huh? You're reaching, McGarrett.
The mark of a desperate man.
Never desperate.
No one on this side of the law is ever desperate.
What we are is persistent.
And persistence pays off especially when things start falling apart.
And they fall apart.
I'll be waiting.
Okay, that's six.
Yeah, we got two more in the back of the garage.
Okay.
And that's for you.
- No sign of the girl yet.
- What room is she in? Four-fifteen.
It's okay, Kimo.
I can handle it.
Why don't you take your friend down and have him shampooed and pressed.
Dear Rob, a voice from the past and long overdue.
I figured after three years, it was time to start being honest with you and with myself.
For openers, I know I've been a crummy sister, ever since I got turned on by that summer in Vegas when I decided to stay.
Old Suzy was really gonna make a big splash.
Only it never happened.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that people can change.
Anyway, I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna walk away from it, Rob.
Please don't hate me for the past.
I'll be in Honolulu soon.
Maybe we can start putting it back together.
All my love, Susan.
Hi.
Hi.
Kind of left your brother hanging back there.
Yeah, well, I was in kind of a hurry.
In that case, you'd better forget about the bus.
It takes about a week to go a block and half.
You heading for town? - Yes, but I can - Well, then climb into my limo.
It's no problem.
Thank you.
Rob tells me you're living in Las Vegas.
That's right.
The idea never appealed to me much.
The idea of living there, I mean.
Problem is, I'm a gambler.
I'd probably shoot my whole wad the first ten minutes.
- You wouldn't be the first.
- I guess not.
You a player? Blackjack, stuff like that? No.
No, I'd just as soon watch.
That's my problem.
I can't do that.
I gotta get down, you know? Gotta mess with it until I understand what I'm really dealing with.
And if I get burned, so what? See, when you're a big businessman like myself, you gotta play it close to the vest.
Gotta be careful.
- What kind of business are you in? - Surfboard manufacturing.
Hey, how about if I swing by the factory, introduce you to the kids? I know they'd dig meeting Rob's sister.
No, I'd like to, really.
But I have a few things to do and a plane to catch.
You got a ticket, or is that why you needed the money? All the time you knew, right? Would you let me out? You didn't answer my question.
What is it with you? I mean, I ripped you off and I'm giving it back.
Isn't that enough? Why'd you need the money, Susan? - What difference does it make? - Plenty.
I figure if somebody like you steals something, you must have a pretty good reason.
I gotta go to work.
You coming inside? I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Up to you.
Over there.
Hi.
I'm looking for a Robert Bradshaw.
I understand he used to live here.
He might have, but I don't know.
A lot of traffic running through here.
You think the owner's around anyplace? You kidding? The only time he shows is to pick up the rent.
Strictly Kahala.
Might be somebody else around that knows.
Well, thanks.
You take the upstairs.
You say this slug was fired from a.
32 caliber.
Right.
Hey, Anderson had a permit for a.
32 caliber.
But he never fired it.
No way.
No trace of powder burns on either hand.
Doc said it caused a lot of hemorrhaging but wouldn't have been fatal.
And this is the one that killed him, Right.
But we never found either gun.
Reads like a pro, except pros don't usually struggle with their victims.
Two slugs can only mean one thing, two different suspects.
McGarrett.
Yeah, Duke? The guys got lucky with that key, Steve.
Belongs to a safe-deposit box, Oahu National.
Under the name Richard Enders.
Probably a phony.
Okay, Duke, let's see what's inside.
Go see Judge Airioshi, get a court order.
It's okay.
You forgot something.
Now, how'd that happen? I guess I'm just a man of poor habits, huh? No, I don't think that's quite it.
- Listen, I'd like to say - Hey, group.
I got a sister here.
Rob Bradshaw's.
All right.
Hey, we're gonna be barbecuing down at the beach tonight.
Can you make it? - I'd really like to, but I can't.
- Okay, back to the trenches.
Come on.
I'm the last of the pharaohs.
Come on, I'll point you in the right direction.
- Are you still heading for the airport? - Yeah.
Okay.
What you do is Jeff, I have to ask.
After I took the money, why didn't you come down on me, call a cop, something? I told you, I'm a gambler.
Besides, you're Rob's sister.
Well - No, Jeff, l - Don't argue with me.
You haven't seen my darker side.
- I don't care, l - Hey.
You brought it back once, right? Goodbye, Susan.
Thank you.
Oh, I almost forgot, you were gonna tell me how to get to the airport.
Oh, right.
There's a bus, should be along any minute.
Take you right down to the Hawaii Kai Center.
Airport buses run from there every half hour.
A bus, huh? I thought you said it took a week to go a block and a half.
I lie a lot.
I know.
- Thank you.
- Take care.
- Find anything? - No.
I guess we reached a dead end.
Well, maybe for now.
We'll see.
Hey, mister.
Hey.
Jack here says he knows Bradshaw's roommate, the one he had when he lived here.
His name's Kenny.
Oh, yeah? You know where he's at? I don't know where he lives, but he's working at a shave-ice stand.
- Where? - Hawaii Kai.
- Excuse me.
- Sure.
May I help you? Yes, do you know when the next bus to the Honolulu airport stops here? In about 30 minutes, I think.
There's a schedule posted on the window over there.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I'm looking for this dude named Kenny.
He runs a shave-ice stand somewhere around here.
Danny, just got a line on the Mustang convertible.
Rented at the airport to a Susan Bradshaw.
Staying at the Park Shore.
- Where's she from? - Las Vegas.
Let's go.
Rob? Sure.
I haven't seen him around though, you know these surfers.
Yeah.
Where's he surfing these days? Oh, on the North Shore, all over.
Depends where they're breaking.
- Don't know where he lives, do you? - No, I don't.
See, after we were roommates, we had this hassle.
The problem was, he Look, do you think you could find out for me? It's really important.
I mean, it'd be worth 20 bucks to me.
Why do you wanna know? The kid owes me a few bucks.
Well, I'll ask around.
Okay.
My name's Wally Hatch.
I'll be checking back with you.
- Okay.
- Right-o.
Hi.
Don't tell me, you missed your plane, right? No.
I think it'd be better if you talked to me, Susan.
Hey, lady.
I'm a hell of a good listener.
I'm sure you are.
But there are some things Jeff, what I need is a place to stay.
Just for a few days.
I've gotta sort things out.
Come on.
Come on.
The clerk says the Bradshaw girl hasn't been back since she checked in, as far as he knows.
Well, somebody's been here turning over rocks.
Better give Che a call and have him go over this.
I'm gonna see what I can find out about Susan Bradshaw.
Out.
- Jeff, why did you? - No questions.
- But what? - No "buts" either.
Perfect day for it.
No, it's crazy.
- I should never have come back.
- But you did.
Look, you won't talk to me.
Okay, you're stubborn, I'm stubborn.
I also get strung out once in a while, like you are right now.
That's why I bought the boat, so I can get unstrung when I want to.
You have no idea what a few hours out there do to make it all come together.
- Yes, but you don't understand.
- That's right, I don't.
Now, you coming? But how can you be sure the brother's going to pay off? I'm not.
It's a game, Charlie.
A crapshoot.
But the way we got her boxed in, I think we got house odds all the way.
I wish I shared your confidence, Mr.
Hatch.
So do I, Charlie.
- Hey, Danno.
- How's the governor? Oh, he's upset about that hung jury.
- What about the surfboard caper? - Starting to come together.
Susan Bradshaw is a public-relations assistant at one of the big hotels in Las Vegas.
A hotel that Manicote's investigation linked to Transoceanic Development.
And get this, she made regular runs, Vegas to Honolulu.
Six times in the last three months.
- What about Anderson? - Name was a phony all right.
But the manager of the safe-deposit section gave me a description that fits Anderson to a T.
Bank records show that he made regular visits too.
Do you have a list of Anderson's bank visits? Right here.
Six-one, Vegas to Honolulu, Bradshaw.
Six-two, Anderson's bank visit.
Six-twelve, Vegas to Honolulu, Bradshaw.
Six-thirteen, Anderson visits bank.
Right on down the line.
In each case, the day after Bradshaw arrives, Anderson makes a bank visit.
- Conclusions? - She's a courier.
Carrying skim money from Vegas to Transoceanic Development.
Not quite, Chin.
I think she went directly to Anderson with that bag for a reason.
Enabling him to skim a few big ones off the top and then throw it in a safe-deposit box under a false name.
Yeah, skimming the skim.
That's neat.
So I would conclude that the relationship between Anderson and the Bradshaw girl was something more than business.
Those clothes in his closet were probably hers.
Suppose Suppose the people in Vegas, knowing of that relationship, somehow got wind that Anderson was ripping them off.
How do you think they'd react? By coming down on them hard.
Both of them.
I think they cooled Anderson as a warning to all potential skimmers.
So now their only loose end is the girl.
And all we have to do is find her.
What about the Bradshaw girl, Danno? Photofax is on the way from Vegas to go with the APB.
The only connective tissue is a brother, whose last known address was Los Angeles.
I have a call into L.
A.
P.
D.
Okay, Danno, push them as hard as you can.
Explain to them why we have to move fast.
Chin, call the FBI in Las Vegas.
Ask them to telex a list of known hit men operating out of their area.
See if any of the names match up with incoming passengers around the time of Susan Bradshaw's arrival.
I don't think they'd be that stupid, but you can never tell.
If they were smart, they wouldn't be hit men.
Go.
So I ran.
Scared out of mind.
How'd you get involved with this dude Anderson? You're asking for the story of my life.
He was a sweet talker, a con artist I didn't see through.
I met him in Vegas and he got me a job.
That's how it all started.
First, the things they asked me to do seemed innocent enough.
But when Curt moved here, all of a sudden my role became more important.
He was using me.
It's because of your involvement with him that the Vegas biggies figure you were in on the rip-off.
That's right.
What about going to the police? Jeff, I killed a man.
From what you were telling me, it sounds more like self-defense.
Yeah, but only how do you prove it? Curt and I were the only ones in the room.
You got yourself into one big squeeze.
Maybe if we hid you.
I can't hide forever.
No, I mean just till we figure something out.
No, I don't I don't want you involved.
- Involved in what, harboring a fugitive? - Yes.
Lady, if anybody asked me, I don't even know you're running away.
Look, I got some friends living over on the big island.
It's kind of commune-like, but there's always room for one more.
We'll take the big boat, okay? Okay.
There's a few things I've gotta do back at the factory before we take off.
Yeah, right.
Got it, Larry.
And thanks for the extra trouble.
By the way, how's the smog? - L.
A.
P.
D? - Yeah.
People at Bradshaw's former address think he moved to Honolulu.
No Robert Bradshaw listed in the phone book.
I'll check auto registration.
Teri, check this name with state tax records.
See what you can come up with.
Hey, Kenny, my lad.
Any luck? Hey, Mr.
Hatch.
How you doing? Rob's address.
Outstanding.
This square us? Hey, thanks.
You know it.
Well, Kimo, I think we're in business.
Wally Hatch.
Did time for armed robbery, assault, two murder indictments, no convictions.
Long list of also-known-as.
Classic hitter.
- When did he get in? - Right behind Susan Bradshaw.
Chin's circulating copies of this right now.
Got an address on Robert Bradshaw.
Should be current, he just renewed his business license.
- Hawaii Kai.
- Ask him to join us for a little chat.
I wanted you to know, but I didn't want you involved.
Do you forgive me? Yeah, but I'd better hear from you now.
- You will.
- Hey.
It's the big island we're talking about.
There's no limit on visitation rights.
We'd better go.
You take care, big sister.
- Frank? - Yeah? I'm gonna split with Susan for a few days.
There's some stuff I'd like you to take care of.
Sure.
The guy from Seaside Resin Company is here.
He said you called about some new kind of resin.
He drove all the way out here.
I might as well talk to him.
Come on.
Hello? Anybody here? Anything? Just a lot of surfboards out back.
Chin, Duke, quick.
Move the sofa.
Get an ambulance, Chin.
Duke, bring your first-aid kit.
- Sorry, this guy's hanging me up.
- It's okay.
You know how it is with us industrial giants.
Soon as I get rid of him, I'll meet you at the boat.
- All right.
- Should be within the hour.
Oh, the market, you said it's on the way? Yeah, can't miss it.
It's the big one in Ninole.
Tell George, the manager, the stuff is for me.
He'll fix you up.
All right.
Craig, kids, hang in there.
Bye, Susan.
Be good.
Easy, kemosabe, don't spook her.
- Find out anything? - Plenty.
It was Hatch, all right.
He knows where the girl is headed.
Duke, get a hold of Steve.
- Central.
- Central.
Patch me through to McGarrett.
Williams, Five-0.
We're looking for a Susan Bradshaw.
- There's nobody here by that name.
- Jeff Heywood? - Yeah, how'd you know? - From her brother.
He was just badly beaten by some guys trying to find her.
- Is he okay? - He'll be all right.
But where is Susan Bradshaw? She's at the marina.
Come on, I'll take you.
Chin, notify Steve and Duke.
Central, patch me through to McGarrett.
Very well.
I've got it, Danno.
I'm not far from the H.
P.
D.
Heliport.
I'll pick up a chopper and then meet you there.
Let's do it.
Hatch.
This is Steve McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
You're under arrest.
Throw down your gun, we have the entire area covered.
There's no place to run.
Hatch, I said throw down your gun.
You don't stand a chance.
Freeze.
Let's go.
Are you all right? Are you okay? - Yes.
- Look up.
You okay, huh? Oh, Jeff, how did they find me? They got to Rob.
No, no, no.
He's banged up some but he's okay.
And the police? They know about everything.
But listen, you didn't kill Anderson.
He did.
- Come on.
- Come along, please.
Book him, Larry.
- Mr.
McGarrett, what happens now? - That all depends.
Would you be willing to testify about what you've been involved in? Give us names, dates, amounts? - Yes.
- That should help her, right? I'm not in the position to make any deals or any promises.
But I can make recommendations.
Now, you level with us, we'll try to help you.
Thank you.
Duke, book her.
Well, I guess that Remember now, the boat's here and I'm here.
When you come back, we'll just set sail and let it happen.
Thank you.
Mr.
McGarrett? If I keep in touch, will you let me know how it goes with Susan? How it goes with Susan depends on Susan.
