Hawaii Five-O (1968) s09e01 Episode Script
Nine Dragons
You will do it, McGarrett, one way or another.
Mr.
McGarrett's reconditioning will begin.
[McGARRETT SCREAMING.]
[WO LAUGHING.]
Toxin, wipe out an entire city.
Somebody stole it from Hawaii.
He had the mark of Nine Dragons.
I call upon world conscience to condemn my government for this act of mass murder.
Because of information just received, we've decided to abandon the search for McGarrett.
[SUZIE SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
You like some tea? You like some tea? Thank you.
Tastes good.
Where are we? Aberdeen, the south coast of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong? How did I get here? We found you in the water, my uncle and I.
What's your name? Suzie.
What's yours? Mine? I don't know.
Uh Someone did a pretty good job.
Can you take me to the police right away? All right.
Let's go, come.
[SUZIE SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
[UNCLE SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
That's you.
Yeah.
You are American? Yeah, I've got to get to police headquarters right away.
SUZIE: Come with me.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
McGARRETT: Steve McGarrett.
Hawaii Five-0.
How did I get here, and why? What is it that I've got to stop by 4:00? [McGARRETT SIGHS.]
Gotta clear my head.
Gotta think.
Got to think.
McGARRETT: It all began two weeks earlier at Hickam Field in Honolulu.
I was there to meet an emissary from the Defense Department who brought with him two vials of a deadly toxin from a government stockpile.
The president had ordered this stockpile destroyed, but agreed to lend samples to the University of Hawaii for use in important medical research.
Five-0 was made responsible for security while these lethal chemical agents were in the Islands.
Danno.
Thanks.
Williams.
Danno, Steve.
Cousin Naomi has just arrived.
We're heading in.
[OVER PHONE.]
All secure at your end? All secure, Steve.
[SIRENS WAILING.]
- Mr.
McGarrett, a pleasure to see you.
- Dr.
Kiamalu.
May I present my associates.
Dr.
Dalton, our dean of students.
Professor Shimoto, who will be conducting these experiments.
You've no idea how I've looked forward to this.
- May I? McGARRETT: No, in due time, doctor.
First, I'd like to acquaint you with the security system set up during the past few days under Dr.
Kiamalu's cooperation.
Arnold, you didn't tell me.
I thought it best to let Mr.
McGarrett explain.
- If you'll show me the way, please? - Sure.
Now, this safe is where the toxins will be kept when not in use.
Armed guards will be on duty serving in shifts of four hours.
Professor Shimoto, you will be the only one authorized to remove the toxins from that safe.
Now, you may do that by presenting this coded ID card to the officers on duty.
They will check the card on this special circuit to the H.
P.
D.
Computer room.
No forgeries are possible if these procedures are followed to the letter.
After the identification is made, the officers will accompany you across to Laboratory 2.
Key, please.
Doctor.
Very well.
Now, this is where the experiments will be conducted.
The guards will remain with Professor Shimoto until the experiments come to an end.
Professional colleagues assisting in the experiments will be admitted only after showing proper credentials and after personal identification by the professor.
Now, this lab will be used for nothing else during the term of these experiments.
When not in use, the door will be kept locked.
There will be no admittance to anyone without exception.
Any questions? All very efficient, Mr.
McGarrett.
General Patton would have been proud of you.
I've always read that General Patton's main tactic was one of sudden lightning attack.
Now, my position here is one of defense, doctor.
Against Attila the Hun, Mata Hari, and the German 5th Panzer Division all rolled into one? I don't know what's bothering you, but I can assure you that I don't like uniforms or guns on the campus any more than you do.
You have a very strange way of showing it, Mr.
McGarrett.
You're very pretty, doctor, and I'm sure you know a lot about chemistry, but let me lay out procedures for this operation, if you don't mind.
My responsibility is to protect the people of this state.
From the imaginary enemy that surrounds us all? Well, for all of our sakes, let us hope that it remains imaginary, shall we? WOMAN 1 [OVER PA.]
: Air Siam passengers for Flight 142 may now claim their baggage at the baggage claim area.
"Professor T.
L.
Shang.
- Hong Kong? SHANG: That is correct.
Are you here for business or pleasure, sir? SHANG: Bound to be both.
Your university was kind enough to invite me here to give a series of lectures.
WOMAN 2: Flight 627 now arriving.
WOMAN 1: Air Siam passengers Have a pleasant stay in Hawaii, sir.
SHANG: I am certain that I shall.
- How was your trip, professor? - Ha, ha.
Rather ironical.
I was sitting next to a retired police captain who regaled me with stories of the Chicago underworld.
Oh, I showed appropriate shock.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Have all the arrangements been made? All made.
The gas company truck, the battery pack, the Freon cylinder.
And the fourth man? Standing by your hotel.
Unknown to the Hawaiian police, I assume? San Francisco man.
Excellent.
And what have you heard from the university? McGarrett has those toxins tied up tighter than a drum.
Hmm.
Drums can be pierced, and so can our friend McGarrett.
Where will the actual experiments take place? A laboratory with standard equipment, - except for one thing.
- What's that? The environmental vacuum chamber, has something to do with biochemistry.
Do we know who has access to the lab? Only three.
Hmm.
Huh.
"Dr.
Arnold Kiamalu, close friend of the governor, who met McGarrett on social occasions.
" Oh, he will never do.
Ha, ha.
"Professor Shimoto.
Once worked on secret research project for the United States Defense Department.
" He would be too security-conscious.
"Dr.
Barbara Dalton.
Fighter for the underdog, champion of minority rights, member, Committee for Academic Freedom.
" [CHUCKLES.]
This lady is of interest to me.
This is your big day, Takeo.
- Good luck.
- Thanks, Barbara.
I'll need it.
WOMAN 1: Excuse me.
MAN: Right here, sir.
WOMAN 1: Can I have your autograph, please? [MURMURING INDISTINCTLY.]
MAN: Just one word.
WO: Later, later, later.
WOMAN 2: How are you doing in Hawaii, sir? Professor Shang, welcome to the University of Hawaii.
Thank you very much.
Professor Shang, would you say a few words for our TV College Roundup? Regretfully, no.
- It will only take a moment WO: Please, let me explain.
I escaped from Communist China many years ago, but I have relatives who are still there.
And should my visit to your country become known it could make it difficult for them.
I'm sure we all understand that, don't we? But I would like to say a few words to those of you who have been so kind as to come and greet me.
WOMAN 1: All right.
WOMAN 2: Excuse me, professor.
WO: I've come a long way, I've seen many places, many people.
I can tell you that nowhere in the world does human intellect flourish with greater freedom than it does here in your own beloved country.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
WOMAN 1: Thank you, professor.
WOMAN 2: Have a nice day.
WOMAN 3: Enjoy your stay.
WO: Thank you very much.
How about a cook's tour for starters? I'm sure you have something better to do.
But nothing I'd rather do.
Well, in that case, I'd be delighted.
Oh, faculty tea at 5, professor.
DALTON: Our oceanography center.
They say that the Pacific's shrinking at about an inch a year.
Pretty soon we'll be neighbors.
WO: Ha, a most happy prospect.
But I am more interested in biochemistry.
We hear that your people are making fantastic strides.
DALTON: So you've heard of Enviro-V.
WO: Yes, the environmental vacuum chamber.
I had hoped to see it in operation.
Perhaps someday.
Ha, ha.
Why wait till the Pacific shrinks? Come on.
I'm sorry, you can't come in here now.
Strict orders.
DALTON: It's all right.
I'm Dr.
Dalton, dean of students.
- And this is Professor T.
L.
Shang OFFICER: Doctor, I have my orders.
I am very embarrassed.
Don't be.
I understand completely.
I have seen bureaucratic repression before.
I think I'll go back to the hotel and get some rest.
I've heard that your faculty teas aren't always limited to tea.
[DALTON LAUGHS.]
Phase 1, our truck will park here, alongside the Chemistry Building.
Phase 2, we will then move over [PHONE RINGING.]
Yes? A Professor Po Ling is here.
I'll tell him you're not here.
WO: Uh, no, wait.
He may have been sent by the college.
They're up to their ears with official greeters.
Better have him come up.
WO: Yes? - Professor Shang? WO: That is correct.
I am Po Ling, University of Hawaii.
WO: Yes.
- May I come in? - Oh, please.
Of course, of course.
Is there something troubling you, professor? You don't know me? Should I? I suppose we both have changed a lot in 26 years.
But still, I thought the name.
Po Ling? Po Po Ling, of course.
It's been a long time ago, the memory fades.
How have you been? Quite happy here.
But of course you knew all that from my letters.
I treasure them dearly.
Please, may I offer you some refreshment? No.
Nothing, thank you.
But I would be interested to know about our mutual friend in Hong Kong.
Which friend would that be? Who else but the lovely Nan Li Chu, who once I had planned to marry.
[LAUGHS.]
You'll be very happy to know that she is doing very well.
Very well indeed.
I see her often.
That is quite remarkable.
Oh? How so? PO LING: Because the lovely Nan Li Chu was shot by border guards when she and I and Dr.
Shang escaped from Communist China more than 25 years ago.
You are an imposter, sir.
Professor, obviously there has been some mistake.
Perhaps it was a different Shang you knew.
After all, it is not so uncommon a name.
Just to show that there are no hard feelings, I'll have you driven back to the university.
I don't need your help.
Professor, you don't seem to understand.
I'm not offering you a choice.
DANNY: Steve.
McGARRETT: Yeah, Danno? Post 1 at the university just called.
Some people tried gaining admittance into Laboratory 2 during one of the toxin experiments.
- What people? - Uh "Dean Barbara Dalton and Professor T.
L.
Shang of the University of Hong Kong.
" They were told the lab was off-limits and turned away.
The good dean didn't like it.
Yeah, I can imagine.
I sent a cable to Hong Kong CID requesting a check on Professor Shang.
Good.
Good, Danno.
In the interim, uh, take Duke and pay a visit on Professor Shang, huh? [DOORBELL BUZZES.]
Uh, Williams, Lukela.
Five-0, state police.
Professor T.
L.
Shang? MAN: Yes.
Is something wrong? DANNY: Uh, no, I just bring greetings from our chief, Steve McGarrett.
He wants you to feel free at any time to call on us for any services we can provide.
That is most generous.
Please convey my thanks to your chief, Mr.
McGarrett.
Thank you.
[PHONE RINGING.]
McGarrett.
OPERATOR: Ready on your call to Hong Kong, sir.
Yeah, go ahead.
Put him on.
Blake here.
[OVER PHONE.]
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I had a rather nasty morning.
Everything's sorted out now.
What can I do for you, my friend? We have a visitor here named Shang.
T.
L.
Shang.
He's supposed to be a professor from the University of Hong Kong.
I'd like a description and a verification of his whereabouts.
Well, that's simple enough.
I'll have it on the telex in a matter of minutes.
[OVER PHONE.]
Goodbye, McGarrett.
Come and see me sometime.
Professor Shang, the reception's been called off.
There's been a terrible tragedy.
Professor Kiamalu sent his apologies.
Oh, what happened? One of our faculty members was killed a few hours ago in a car accident.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Perhaps you knew him.
He came from Hong Kong too many years ago.
Professor Po Ling.
Po Ling? Why, of course, we were very close friends.
We escaped across the Chinese Red border together in 1949.
Then it's your loss too.
Very much indeed.
DALTON: They say there's form in the universe.
But a thing like this, a brilliant life snuffed out by chance, you wonder.
WO: Are we sure it was chance? What do you mean? Po Ling was an outspoken critic of the communist regime, a constant thorn in their sides.
One has to wonder.
I'd hate to believe that what you're saying is true.
[CHUCKLES.]
Dr.
Dalton, I've lived on both sides.
I assure you that police states will stop at nothing to achieve their ends.
That is why I become so alarmed when I see, uh Well, it's not for me to criticize.
After all, I'm just a visitor.
Professor, you don't even have to say it.
It's so obvious.
They resist our movements, tell us where we can and can't go.
I suppose it's our own fault in the end, for not being more critical, more resistant.
You wanted to see the environmental vacuum chamber Oh, please.
Please, I do not wish to impose.
Professor, you are going to see it.
Come with me.
WO: Allow me.
Introducing Enviro-V.
Developed by Dr.
Paul Mehalani of our Department of Biochemistry.
There are only five of these in the world.
It's enabled us to study physical matter in a new and undistorted way under residual pressure of one-400-millionth of an atmosphere.
We can study matter from outer space or we can probe the very substance of life itself, the DNA of the living cell.
Using this chamber, we've now verified that DNA is the carrier of genetic information for all living systems and that the amino acid sequence of any polypeptide chain is related to the linear sequence of nucleotides within the DNA molecule.
- Can you imagine that? - Incredible.
Oh, but I've allowed myself to go on.
Please do not apologize, doctor.
I assure you, I could not have spent a more profitable afternoon.
- Once a teacher - Ha, ha.
Your key.
- Steve? McGARRETT: Yeah, I'm over here.
What a mess this place is.
Everything's fine with Professor Shang.
- You checked him out? DUKE: Face-to-face.
DANNY: He seems legit.
This, uh, telex just came in from CID, Hong Kong, Blake.
"Shang, T.
L.
, professor.
Confirmed departure for Honolulu Description: Chinese male, height 5-feet-9, stocky build, age 50, bald, mustache, small pointed beard.
" That's him, Steve.
Ladies and gentlemen, our guest today needs little introduction.
From Hong Kong, the distinguished teacher, author, philosopher, Professor T.
L.
Shang.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
My friends, it is unfortunate that this wonderful moment should be overshadowed by such a tragic event.
Professor Po Ling was more than a colleague, more than a great scientific mind.
He was that rarest of things: A friend.
So I dedicate this lecture to him.
A lecture on the phenomenon of the exceptional man.
[CLICKING.]
This is it.
Nor can we forget the great German philosopher Nietzsche who held that the will to power - the sun, the stars, the universe itself.
I thank you.
Now Professor Shang will answer any questions.
That young lady.
This quality of greatness you spoke about, is it something that all can attain, and if so, how? Allow me to answer that question by quoting your own great poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The heights by great men Reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight For they While their companions slept Were toiling upward in the night WO: Easy now.
Careful with that equipment.
We've done well so far.
Remember, we move tomorrow morning, 0830 hours.
Will the party speak to someone else or do you want to? Just a minute.
He's coming now.
One moment, please.
- CID, Hong Kong.
Priority call.
- Right.
Yeah, go ahead.
This is McGarrett.
Blake here.
It's 3:00 in the bloody morning and I'm gonna drop a bomb in your lap, McGarrett.
[OVER PHONE.]
We've picked up a floater in Victoria Harbor.
We just got a positive ID.
It's T.
L.
Shang.
The real Professor T.
L.
Shang, and he's dead, McGarrett.
He's awfully dead.
These are two of my students.
They're assisting in the experiment today.
Your ID, please? Thank you.
This way.
SHIMOTO: Cobra venom and saxitoxin in quantities seldom produced.
Here is the potential for massive death or millions of broken lives repaired.
We hold an enormous trust [PHONE RINGING.]
Duke, this is Steve.
I'm on Nimitz Highway heading up to the university.
Any luck with our H.
P.
D.
Post at the college? Negative, Steve.
We've been ringing there for ten minutes.
No answer.
McGARRETT: Try the Campus Security Police.
If you get through, tell them to proceed to Laboratory 2 and to alert our people that a Professor T.
L.
Shang is a phony.
[OVER PHONE.]
If seen, he's to be held for questioning.
Got it.
Jenkins, light the burner.
Yes, professor.
[GAS HISSING.]
Gas pressure dropping.
[OVER RADIO.]
Freon feeding into lab.
[COUGHING.]
GUARD: Hey, you just freeze right there.
[CHUCKLES.]
McGARRETT: What's going on? What's going on? What's happening? What's happening? The third floor, it's terrible.
Oh, my God.
[COUGHING.]
Oh.
[COUGHING.]
[SIRENS WAILING.]
McGARRETT: Give me a hand here.
There are two gunshot victims in the hallway.
They were alive when I left them.
These people were gassed.
Get them some help.
CHIN HO: Steve, Steve.
- Yeah? This was attached to the wall in the utility room.
"Freon gas, 12.
" Gas? I passed a gas truck driving onto the campus.
Island Gas Company.
Get on the horn to Central, I want every man, every police car, to be on the alert for that truck.
And double security on all reservoirs and water supply systems, any place those toxins might be used.
Notify Army, Navy and Public Health Service, full red alert, on the double.
The toxins have been stolen.
McGARRETT: Someone got into the lab before the experiments took place.
Is something wrong, doctor? Well, I did let someone in the lab, but McGARRETT: You what? Oh, he couldn't possibly have been responsible, not Professor Shang.
You're right, doctor.
Professor Shang couldn't have been responsible, because Professor Shang has never been in Hawaii.
He was murdered in Hong Kong a few days ago.
DANNY: Steve.
- Yeah, Danno? Naturally, no Professor Shang at the Hayakowani Hotel.
His suite was empty, except for this.
McGARRETT: It says, "You were too late, McGarrett.
I have obtained what I came for.
When and where I use it, you will learn in due time.
" No signature, none needed.
Only one man could have pulled this heist.
- Wo Fat? - Yeah.
I know his style and I know his methods.
And for the first time, I think I know where to find him.
Where's that? McGARRETT: Danno.
This paper looked unusual, sir, so we took it to the lab for analysis.
It turned out to be handmade rice paper, uh, which is manufactured only in the Orient.
Under ultraviolet light, this mark became visible.
Chin, what's it say? [CHIN HO SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
Nine Dragons has two meanings.
It's a peninsula, part of the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong, and it's an organization.
They call them triads.
I've heard the term.
They are the crime families in the East.
Nine Dragons is the biggest and most feared triad.
And our major lead to Wo Fat.
Governor, I request your permission to go after him.
Of course, I'll be working with the full cooperation of the Hong Kong Police.
How long would you be gone? Until I find Wo Fat, until I recover the toxins, however long that takes.
WOMAN [OVER PA.]
: Your attention, please.
Flight 209 now arriving at Gate 4.
Air Siam Flight 209 now arriving at Gate 4.
- Mr.
McGarrett.
McGARRETT: Ah.
Carter, CID.
Welcome to Hong Kong, Mr.
McGarrett.
- Thank you.
Thank you, Mr.
Carter.
- Mr.
Blake sends his apologies.
He was planning to be here himself, but unfortunately a double murder on Tsing Yi Island said otherwise.
Oh, I see.
First visit? Once before.
I was here during the Korean War.
I had some R and R coming, so I took it here.
You'll find Hong Kong has changed a lot.
What hasn't? Not everything, but we do have hopes, Mr.
McGarrett.
[McGARRETT GRUNTS.]
WO: A most magnificent view, McGarrett, so enhanced by such excellent company.
Seems that I have won.
Deadly toxins, so carefully guarded by the Hawaii Five-0, are now in my hands as is its protector.
Oh, it was most obliging of you to follow the Nine Dragons clue which I left in Hawaii quite hopefully.
Your agents, picking me up at the airport, had to be sure that the real Hong Kong Police wouldn't be there.
Correct.
Which means they had to be decoyed.
How? Oh, come now, we are both professionals.
Surely you know that what you say now can make little difference.
It would have been so much simpler to finish the job while I was drugged.
So there had to be another reason.
Again you do not disappoint me.
Indeed, you were brought here for a purpose.
A single, simple purpose.
[CHUCKLES.]
Your answer? I think you've guessed it.
You realize that it's wholly within my power to make you comply.
Sure.
Sure, a little Chinese torture, perhaps? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
A crude word, McGarrett.
It's now a science, nothing more.
Behavior modification through stress.
Of course, we have refined the methods considerably - since the Korean War.
- Yeah.
But then the world, even in those days, looked at your brave Gls standing before cameras, confessing their crimes against the People's Republic of China.
And you will do it too, McGarrett.
One way or another.
Why not spare yourself a most unpleasant experience? And if I do, then what? Your release and freedom.
I give you my word as a professional.
And you have my word, as a professional.
That does not make me happy.
Take him.
Mr.
McGarrett's reconditioning will begin.
He did say 209.
Check the flight supervisor.
I want a detailed passenger list.
Right.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Williams.
OPERATOR: Long distance from Hong Kong.
One moment, please.
Go ahead, sir.
Williams? Blake here.
What's happened to McGarrett? He hasn't arrived? BLAKE [OVER PHONE.]
: Not on Flight 209, he hasn't.
No, you've got the wrong flight.
He was on Air Siam Flight 17, arriving Hong Kong 10 a.
m.
Your time.
[OVER PHONE.]
We sent you a cable.
No, no, that was the first plan.
Then it was changed to Flight 209, arriving 12 noon, our time.
[OVER PHONE.]
Uh, it was in the second cable.
We never sent you a second cable.
Oh.
Well, I'll investigate and keep you informed.
Goodbye.
Chin, get ready for a trip.
No.
No.
[SCREAMING.]
[WO LAUGHING.]
No.
No.
[WO LAUGHING.]
[YELLING.]
WOMAN [OVER PA.]
: Flight 94 from Williams, we've met before, haven't we? International Police Convention.
Sydney, Australia, of course.
Good to see you.
- This is, uh, Chin Ho Kelly, Five-0.
- How do you do? - Anthony Waring, CID, Triad Bureau.
- How do you do? Anything on McGarrett? Not any more, except that we know that he was on the earlier flight and never reached his hotel.
I'm afraid we've just got to assume the worst.
We already have.
McGarrett.
McGarrett.
Everything is all right.
The ordeal is over.
I've got to sleep.
You'll get plenty of sleep and food.
You've been a very good boy.
[McGARRETT MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY.]
[GROANS.]
[GRUNTS.]
WO: My part of the bargain, delivered.
The rest is up to you, general.
I must confess, certain problems have arisen.
What sort of problems? The people I have engaged, are concerned about the aftermath.
What could be more clear? When the deed is done, I will go to Peking to assume command, and issue the orders that will bring the American imperialists to their knees.
And you, general, will once again have a high army command.
Honolulu, Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, New York, Washington.
These are our primary targets.
The rest is a mere mopping-up action.
That much we understand.
It is the rest of the world we are concerned about.
How do we know they will not turn against us after our preemptive strike? Because our act will be fully justified with this.
McGarrett has actually done this? To perfection.
[MAN SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
[MAN GRUNTS.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
Yes? Escaped? How? Execute them at once and inform all Nine Dragon members that by tonight, I want to see the corpse of Steve McGarrett.
[SUZIE SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
That's you.
Yeah.
You are American? Yeah.
I've got to get to police headquarters right away.
- In Central? - Yes.
Which way? Quickly, quickly.
That way.
Come with me.
[TIRE SCREECHES.]
OFFICER: Get ready for advance.
About turn.
[OFFICER YELLING INDISTINCTLY.]
Um, incidentally, there's the second cable that arrived.
It's our one clue for the time being.
We're running it down right now through the cable offices in Hawaii.
With luck we might make an ID on the sender.
BLAKE: If only we knew why McGarrett came here, it might help develop some leads.
Toxin, two vials, wipe out an entire city.
Someone stole them from Hawaii posing as Professor Shang.
McGarrett was after them.
Why here? There was only one clue left.
It had the mark of Nine Dragons.
Ah, they're ours.
One of our most notorious crime organizations.
Well, that we know.
What about a full mobilization sweep? It may work for Honolulu, but not in Hong Kong.
If as much as one policeman is seen here, everything and everybody vanishes into the woodwork.
And I do mean everybody.
As a matter of fact, we have got somebody in Nine Dragons at the moment, loaned to us from Special Branch.
Code Number 42.
Waring, check on him right away, will you? Yes, sir.
MASTER [IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
: INITIATE [IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
: MASTER: INITIATE: ALL [IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
: [IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
[MEN SHOUTING.]
Excuse me, sir, but I've made contact with 42.
BLAKE: Good.
- Nine Dragons was holding McGarrett.
They've got every member out searching for him with orders to kill on sight.
Well, then he's escaped.
Yes, apparently from a boat in East Lamma Channel.
East Lamma Channel.
There's the channel, nearest town.
Chief Superintendent Blake here.
Get me the officer in charge of CID at Aberdeen.
[MAN SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
- What did he say? - That's the Police Headquarters.
- We get off - No, no.
No, no.
I get off here.
You to go back to your boat, Suzie.
But you're not in good shape.
You need help.
You've helped me enough.
I've put you in danger.
I want you to go back to your boat.
I'm very grateful to you, Suzie.
Thank you.
I can make it across the street alone.
- You're sure you're all right? - I'm all right.
Take care of yourself, okay? Okay.
[YELLS.]
[GRUNTING.]
All I can find is exhaustion, physical and mental.
Some rest and some food, you'll be good as new.
Thank you, doctor.
There's a cot down the hall if you want to sack out for a while.
No, Danno, there's no time.
Something is going to happen at 4:00.
Something we've got to stop.
- What's happening? McGARRETT: I don't know.
I don't know.
BLAKE: Perhaps if you can tell us what you do remember, it might come back to you.
I remember landing in Kowloon.
I remember being met by three men who said they were from your office.
We got into a car.
And we began driving and there was a The man on the right pulled an automatic.
The man in the left front seat shot me in the neck with something.
Felt like a dart.
Then, when I came to, I was in a strange compound.
And Wo Fat was there.
Yes.
Yes.
He wanted me to say something or to do something.
Then, when I refused that's when the treatment started.
Of brainwashing? Yeah, I guess you could call it that, Danno.
Latest techniques, things that we never heard of.
Then it was over.
Wo Fat was standing in front of me saying that I was a good boy.
For doing what? I don't know.
I don't know, Danno.
It's all that's coming through.
I don't know.
Take it easy, Steve.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Steve, I just spoke to Duke in Honolulu.
They checked the Cable Office.
No record of a second cablegram to Honolulu.
Who delivered that cable to you? It was on my desk when I got here in the morning.
- Put there by your secretary? - No, no.
It was 8:00.
She wasn't in then.
- Then by whom? - Could be anybody in the building.
Someone who knew we sent an earlier cable.
Are you suggesting it was somebody on my staff? Happens in the best of intelligence units, old boy.
Deep-planted mole, double agent.
I'd hate to think that you're right, McGarrett, but I can bloody soon find out.
BLAKE: Right.
I'll keep this brief.
Because of information just received, we've decided to abandon the search for McGarrett.
All of those involved in the operation can be assigned to other duties.
Any questions? Does that mean that McGarrett is safe or he's dead, sir? I don't want this to go any further for the time being, but I'm afraid that the news is bad.
And now to another matter.
We've been informed there's to be a meeting of the Red Lodge Triad Society in the Golden Orchid District on Monday the 11th.
We are gonna raid that meeting Oh.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm sorry.
What you have just seen is to go no further than this room.
Is that understood? It is part of our strategy to have them believe that McGarrett is dead.
We'll meet tomorrow morning, at the Red Lodge raid.
That will be all.
Well done.
And now we watch and we listen.
And if there is a mole in the organization, I think that ought to smoke him out.
WOMAN [OVER PA.]
: Flight 94 for Hangzhou, mainland China, now boarding from Gate 7.
Excuse me, sir.
But there's been a killing in Wan Chai.
I'm on my way to investigate.
Why not leave it to Homicide? Frank Chambers is ill.
Besides, it's a triad thing, my department.
All right.
But I shall need a full report.
Yes, of course.
Chief Superintendent Blake here.
Top-secret priority instructions.
Listen carefully.
I want strict surveillance on a gentleman leaving the building at this very moment.
- Yes? - Seventh Dragon.
McGarrett is alive.
He's in Blake's office.
You're certain of this? Quite certain.
I saw him myself just a few moments ago.
Oh, and you left right away to phone me.
You know where my loyalty is.
Yes, and so does Blake.
I'm afraid you have fallen into a trap.
You're right, old Blake's improving with age.
[OVER PHONE.]
Don't worry, I won't lead them to you.
Yes, but neither can you return to your office.
[OVER PHONE.]
We must assume that your cover has been blown.
What shall I do? We'll help you get out of Hong Kong.
New name, new life somewhere else.
The past will be forgotten.
[OVER PHONE.]
Can you leave right away? Of course, I'm tied to nothing.
Go to the 14 Quay Steps.
We'll have a boat waiting.
Sail southeast to Tat Hong Channel.
[OVER PHONE.]
There you'll be met by a larger vessel.
All right.

We'll join in pursuit.
Keep us informed of exact position.
Shall we go? [POLICE SIREN WAILING.]
Waring.
Waring, can you hear me? Waring, where is Nine Dragons Command? You know who did this to you, don't you? Your friends in the Nine Dragons.
Your blood brothers that you're trying to protect.
No.
And Wo Fat sits at the top of the heap, happy to cancel you out for his own protection.
Waring, is that how you wanna leave it? Huh? Tell me, where is he? [WHISPERS.]

Well, I think we can safely say our birds have flown.
Something wrong? No, nothing's wrong.
Your accommodations? Yeah, sometime.
Lovely, isn't it? Yeah Movies.
They took movies of me saying something.
BLAKE: Saying what? I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't remember.
There she is.
MAN: Can I help you? Yes, we're interested in a roll of motion picture film that may have been developed here within the last 48 hours.
Look, we do strictly legitimate work here.
No porno stuff DANNY: We're not here to bust you.
We just want this film.
BLAKE: Do hurry, man.
Time is vital to us.
If we did the work, it would be in the log over here.
- You know the name of the company? - I don't know.
Could I see the log, please? Now, these firms, do you know them? Have you done work for them before? Yeah, most of them.
What about this one? "Wall City Films.
" No, they're, uh, a new one.
"Two hundred feet.
Uh, 35 mm, with soundtrack.
" Now, where's that? We got that out last night.
Delivered it by hand to the client.
Did you keep a print? Ha.
If we kept a print of everything we produced here, we'd need a storeroom bigger than China.
Did anyone here see this film? Screen it? If anyone did, it would be the timer.
He sometimes runs a quality check, but not always.
Chief Superintendent Blake, CID.
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
McGARRETT: What's he saying? Something about you, Steve.
That you're a traitor, betrayed your country.
All right, all right, simmer down.
This is Mr.
McGarrett of Hawaii Five-0.
Well, he saw a film with you.
He has a print.
He made a print? Get it.
McGARRETT [ON FILM.]
: My name is Steven McGarrett, I am head of Hawaii Five-0, an American police unit.
I am making this statement of my own free will for satellite broadcast throughout the world.
It has come to my knowledge that at exactly 4:00 today agents of the United States of America poisoned the water supply of Hangzhou where government leaders of the People's Republic of China were meeting.
Two kinds of poison were used: Cobra venom and saxitoxin.
The latter derived from the red tide bacteria of shellfish.
Both poisons were prepared and developed by United States intelligence agencies.
I know because I was in charge of security while this crime was being planned under the guise of a research project.
I call upon world conscience to condemn my government for this act of mass murder.
As a personal protest, I intend to give up my American citizenship.
My God.
How could I say those things? Even brainwashed, how could I say those things? Steve, you had no control.
We saw it in Korea so many times.
Whole companies of men denouncing their countries with absolute lies.
Is it a total lie? Or is it the truth with the names of the guilty changed? Wo Fat steals the toxins from Honolulu.
Wo Fat poisons the water supply of Hangzhou, wiping out the main body of Chinese leadership.
He beams this film over satellite, announcing to the world that the United States did it.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Meanwhile, Wo Fat sets himself up as the leader of China.
Steps into the power vacuum.
- And then what? - Then How about a retaliatory nuclear strike against the United States? It's possible.
H-hour is exactly 4:00.
That gives us only 36 minutes to find Wo Fat's headquarters.
You said that the film was delivered by hand? Who delivered it? - I did.
- Can you show us the way? - Yeah, sure.
McGARRETT: Danno, Chin? Get over to, uh, China Travel Service.
We'll hit Wall City Films.
Let's go.
All units, all units.
Converge on Wall City Films.
Prepare for full mobilized assault.
DANNY: We're American police officers.
We have an urgent message for your government.
- Then you must contact Peking.
- No time.
We want you to do it for us.
But we are merely travel agents.
Yes, we know you're just travel agents.
But this is a matter of life and death for your own government leaders.
CHIN HO: Maybe the whole world.
Please, get on that phone to Peking.
Surely, you've got the wrong people.
We are merely May I remind you of an old Chinese saying: [SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]

Come here.
Where is Wo Fat? Where is Wo Fat? Get him out of here.
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
Looks like Peking got the message, huh? So it seems.
You can look for all the secret passages you want, Blake.
I'll tell you one thing you won't find.
What? Top Dragon.
Come back soon.
But, please, not on business.
I'd like that, Blake.
Thank you.
Thank you, for all your cooperation.
McGarrett, it's been a great pleasure.
Mr.
McGarrett.
Here's a going-home gift from our office.
I owe a debt of thanks to your government.
Please, I do not represent my government.
We are merely travel agents.
Yes, I know.
Ha, ha.
Travel agents.
Steve, just came over the radio.
It's from Blake.
"Triad leader shot by police in Wall City.
Face disfigured, but ID in pockets reveal corpse to be Wo Fat.
" Maybe this time it's true.
Yeah, maybe.
And maybe not.
Mr.
McGarrett's reconditioning will begin.
[McGARRETT SCREAMING.]
[WO LAUGHING.]
Toxin, wipe out an entire city.
Somebody stole it from Hawaii.
He had the mark of Nine Dragons.

Because of information just received, we've decided to abandon the search for McGarrett.
[SUZIE SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
You like some tea? You like some tea? Thank you.
Tastes good.
Where are we? Aberdeen, the south coast of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong? How did I get here? We found you in the water, my uncle and I.
What's your name? Suzie.
What's yours? Mine? I don't know.
Uh Someone did a pretty good job.
Can you take me to the police right away? All right.
Let's go, come.
[SUZIE SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
[UNCLE SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
That's you.
Yeah.
You are American? Yeah, I've got to get to police headquarters right away.
SUZIE: Come with me.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
McGARRETT: Steve McGarrett.
Hawaii Five-0.
How did I get here, and why? What is it that I've got to stop by 4:00? [McGARRETT SIGHS.]
Gotta clear my head.
Gotta think.
Got to think.
McGARRETT: It all began two weeks earlier at Hickam Field in Honolulu.
I was there to meet an emissary from the Defense Department who brought with him two vials of a deadly toxin from a government stockpile.
The president had ordered this stockpile destroyed, but agreed to lend samples to the University of Hawaii for use in important medical research.
Five-0 was made responsible for security while these lethal chemical agents were in the Islands.
Danno.
Thanks.
Williams.
Danno, Steve.
Cousin Naomi has just arrived.
We're heading in.
[OVER PHONE.]
All secure at your end? All secure, Steve.
[SIRENS WAILING.]
- Mr.
McGarrett, a pleasure to see you.
- Dr.
Kiamalu.
May I present my associates.
Dr.
Dalton, our dean of students.
Professor Shimoto, who will be conducting these experiments.
You've no idea how I've looked forward to this.
- May I? McGARRETT: No, in due time, doctor.
First, I'd like to acquaint you with the security system set up during the past few days under Dr.
Kiamalu's cooperation.
Arnold, you didn't tell me.
I thought it best to let Mr.
McGarrett explain.
- If you'll show me the way, please? - Sure.
Now, this safe is where the toxins will be kept when not in use.
Armed guards will be on duty serving in shifts of four hours.
Professor Shimoto, you will be the only one authorized to remove the toxins from that safe.
Now, you may do that by presenting this coded ID card to the officers on duty.
They will check the card on this special circuit to the H.
P.
D.
Computer room.
No forgeries are possible if these procedures are followed to the letter.
After the identification is made, the officers will accompany you across to Laboratory 2.
Key, please.
Doctor.
Very well.
Now, this is where the experiments will be conducted.
The guards will remain with Professor Shimoto until the experiments come to an end.
Professional colleagues assisting in the experiments will be admitted only after showing proper credentials and after personal identification by the professor.
Now, this lab will be used for nothing else during the term of these experiments.
When not in use, the door will be kept locked.
There will be no admittance to anyone without exception.
Any questions? All very efficient, Mr.
McGarrett.
General Patton would have been proud of you.
I've always read that General Patton's main tactic was one of sudden lightning attack.
Now, my position here is one of defense, doctor.
Against Attila the Hun, Mata Hari, and the German 5th Panzer Division all rolled into one? I don't know what's bothering you, but I can assure you that I don't like uniforms or guns on the campus any more than you do.
You have a very strange way of showing it, Mr.
McGarrett.
You're very pretty, doctor, and I'm sure you know a lot about chemistry, but let me lay out procedures for this operation, if you don't mind.
My responsibility is to protect the people of this state.
From the imaginary enemy that surrounds us all? Well, for all of our sakes, let us hope that it remains imaginary, shall we? WOMAN 1 [OVER PA.]
: Air Siam passengers for Flight 142 may now claim their baggage at the baggage claim area.
"Professor T.
L.
Shang.
- Hong Kong? SHANG: That is correct.
Are you here for business or pleasure, sir? SHANG: Bound to be both.
Your university was kind enough to invite me here to give a series of lectures.
WOMAN 2: Flight 627 now arriving.
WOMAN 1: Air Siam passengers Have a pleasant stay in Hawaii, sir.
SHANG: I am certain that I shall.
- How was your trip, professor? - Ha, ha.
Rather ironical.
I was sitting next to a retired police captain who regaled me with stories of the Chicago underworld.
Oh, I showed appropriate shock.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Have all the arrangements been made? All made.
The gas company truck, the battery pack, the Freon cylinder.
And the fourth man? Standing by your hotel.
Unknown to the Hawaiian police, I assume? San Francisco man.
Excellent.
And what have you heard from the university? McGarrett has those toxins tied up tighter than a drum.
Hmm.
Drums can be pierced, and so can our friend McGarrett.
Where will the actual experiments take place? A laboratory with standard equipment, - except for one thing.
- What's that? The environmental vacuum chamber, has something to do with biochemistry.
Do we know who has access to the lab? Only three.
Hmm.
Huh.
"Dr.
Arnold Kiamalu, close friend of the governor, who met McGarrett on social occasions.
" Oh, he will never do.
Ha, ha.
"Professor Shimoto.
Once worked on secret research project for the United States Defense Department.
" He would be too security-conscious.

This lady is of interest to me.
This is your big day, Takeo.

- Thanks, Barbara.
I'll need it.
WOMAN 1: Excuse me.
MAN: Right here, sir.
WOMAN 1: Can I have your autograph, please? [MURMURING INDISTINCTLY.]
MAN: Just one word.
WO: Later, later, later.
WOMAN 2: How are you doing in Hawaii, sir? Professor Shang, welcome to the University of Hawaii.
Thank you very much.
Professor Shang, would you say a few words for our TV College Roundup? Regretfully, no.
- It will only take a moment WO: Please, let me explain.
I escaped from Communist China many years ago, but I have relatives who are still there.
And should my visit to your country become known it could make it difficult for them.
I'm sure we all understand that, don't we? But I would like to say a few words to those of you who have been so kind as to come and greet me.
WOMAN 1: All right.
WOMAN 2: Excuse me, professor.
WO: I've come a long way, I've seen many places, many people.
I can tell you that nowhere in the world does human intellect flourish with greater freedom than it does here in your own beloved country.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
WOMAN 1: Thank you, professor.
WOMAN 2: Have a nice day.
WOMAN 3: Enjoy your stay.
WO: Thank you very much.
How about a cook's tour for starters? I'm sure you have something better to do.
But nothing I'd rather do.
Well, in that case, I'd be delighted.
Oh, faculty tea at 5, professor.
DALTON: Our oceanography center.
They say that the Pacific's shrinking at about an inch a year.
Pretty soon we'll be neighbors.
WO: Ha, a most happy prospect.
But I am more interested in biochemistry.
We hear that your people are making fantastic strides.
DALTON: So you've heard of Enviro-V.
WO: Yes, the environmental vacuum chamber.
I had hoped to see it in operation.
Perhaps someday.
Ha, ha.
Why wait till the Pacific shrinks? Come on.
I'm sorry, you can't come in here now.
Strict orders.
DALTON: It's all right.
I'm Dr.
Dalton, dean of students.
- And this is Professor T.
L.
Shang OFFICER: Doctor, I have my orders.
I am very embarrassed.
Don't be.
I understand completely.
I have seen bureaucratic repression before.
I think I'll go back to the hotel and get some rest.
I've heard that your faculty teas aren't always limited to tea.
[DALTON LAUGHS.]
Phase 1, our truck will park here, alongside the Chemistry Building.
Phase 2, we will then move over [PHONE RINGING.]
Yes? A Professor Po Ling is here.
I'll tell him you're not here.
WO: Uh, no, wait.
He may have been sent by the college.
They're up to their ears with official greeters.
Better have him come up.
WO: Yes? - Professor Shang? WO: That is correct.
I am Po Ling, University of Hawaii.
WO: Yes.
- May I come in? - Oh, please.
Of course, of course.
Is there something troubling you, professor? You don't know me? Should I? I suppose we both have changed a lot in 26 years.
But still, I thought the name.
Po Ling? Po Po Ling, of course.
It's been a long time ago, the memory fades.
How have you been? Quite happy here.
But of course you knew all that from my letters.
I treasure them dearly.
Please, may I offer you some refreshment? No.
Nothing, thank you.
But I would be interested to know about our mutual friend in Hong Kong.
Which friend would that be? Who else but the lovely Nan Li Chu, who once I had planned to marry.
[LAUGHS.]
You'll be very happy to know that she is doing very well.
Very well indeed.
I see her often.
That is quite remarkable.
Oh? How so? PO LING: Because the lovely Nan Li Chu was shot by border guards when she and I and Dr.
Shang escaped from Communist China more than 25 years ago.
You are an imposter, sir.
Professor, obviously there has been some mistake.
Perhaps it was a different Shang you knew.
After all, it is not so uncommon a name.
Just to show that there are no hard feelings, I'll have you driven back to the university.
I don't need your help.
Professor, you don't seem to understand.
I'm not offering you a choice.
DANNY: Steve.
McGARRETT: Yeah, Danno? Post 1 at the university just called.
Some people tried gaining admittance into Laboratory 2 during one of the toxin experiments.
- What people? - Uh "Dean Barbara Dalton and Professor T.
L.
Shang of the University of Hong Kong.
" They were told the lab was off-limits and turned away.
The good dean didn't like it.
Yeah, I can imagine.
I sent a cable to Hong Kong CID requesting a check on Professor Shang.
Good.
Good, Danno.
In the interim, uh, take Duke and pay a visit on Professor Shang, huh? [DOORBELL BUZZES.]
Uh, Williams, Lukela.
Five-0, state police.
Professor T.
L.
Shang? MAN: Yes.
Is something wrong? DANNY: Uh, no, I just bring greetings from our chief, Steve McGarrett.
He wants you to feel free at any time to call on us for any services we can provide.
That is most generous.
Please convey my thanks to your chief, Mr.
McGarrett.
Thank you.
[PHONE RINGING.]
McGarrett.
OPERATOR: Ready on your call to Hong Kong, sir.
Yeah, go ahead.
Put him on.
Blake here.
[OVER PHONE.]
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I had a rather nasty morning.
Everything's sorted out now.
What can I do for you, my friend? We have a visitor here named Shang.
T.
L.
Shang.
He's supposed to be a professor from the University of Hong Kong.
I'd like a description and a verification of his whereabouts.
Well, that's simple enough.
I'll have it on the telex in a matter of minutes.
[OVER PHONE.]
Goodbye, McGarrett.
Come and see me sometime.
Professor Shang, the reception's been called off.
There's been a terrible tragedy.
Professor Kiamalu sent his apologies.
Oh, what happened? One of our faculty members was killed a few hours ago in a car accident.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Perhaps you knew him.
He came from Hong Kong too many years ago.
Professor Po Ling.
Po Ling? Why, of course, we were very close friends.
We escaped across the Chinese Red border together in 1949.
Then it's your loss too.
Very much indeed.
DALTON: They say there's form in the universe.
But a thing like this, a brilliant life snuffed out by chance, you wonder.
WO: Are we sure it was chance? What do you mean? Po Ling was an outspoken critic of the communist regime, a constant thorn in their sides.
One has to wonder.
I'd hate to believe that what you're saying is true.
[CHUCKLES.]
Dr.
Dalton, I've lived on both sides.
I assure you that police states will stop at nothing to achieve their ends.
That is why I become so alarmed when I see, uh Well, it's not for me to criticize.
After all, I'm just a visitor.
Professor, you don't even have to say it.
It's so obvious.
They resist our movements, tell us where we can and can't go.
I suppose it's our own fault in the end, for not being more critical, more resistant.
You wanted to see the environmental vacuum chamber Oh, please.
Please, I do not wish to impose.
Professor, you are going to see it.
Come with me.
WO: Allow me.
Introducing Enviro-V.
Developed by Dr.
Paul Mehalani of our Department of Biochemistry.
There are only five of these in the world.
It's enabled us to study physical matter in a new and undistorted way under residual pressure of one-400-millionth of an atmosphere.
We can study matter from outer space or we can probe the very substance of life itself, the DNA of the living cell.
Using this chamber, we've now verified that DNA is the carrier of genetic information for all living systems and that the amino acid sequence of any polypeptide chain is related to the linear sequence of nucleotides within the DNA molecule.
- Can you imagine that? - Incredible.
Oh, but I've allowed myself to go on.
Please do not apologize, doctor.
I assure you, I could not have spent a more profitable afternoon.
- Once a teacher - Ha, ha.
Your key.
- Steve? McGARRETT: Yeah, I'm over here.
What a mess this place is.
Everything's fine with Professor Shang.
- You checked him out? DUKE: Face-to-face.
DANNY: He seems legit.
This, uh, telex just came in from CID, Hong Kong, Blake.
"Shang, T.

Ladies and gentlemen, our guest today needs little introduction.
From Hong Kong, the distinguished teacher, author, philosopher, Professor T.
L.
Shang.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
My friends, it is unfortunate that this wonderful moment should be overshadowed by such a tragic event.
Professor Po Ling was more than a colleague, more than a great scientific mind.
He was that rarest of things: A friend.
So I dedicate this lecture to him.
A lecture on the phenomenon of the exceptional man.
[CLICKING.]
This is it.
Nor can we forget the great German philosopher Nietzsche who held that the will to power - the sun, the stars, the universe itself.
I thank you.
Now Professor Shang will answer any questions.
That young lady.
This quality of greatness you spoke about, is it something that all can attain, and if so, how? Allow me to answer that question by quoting your own great poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The heights by great men Reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight For they While their companions slept Were toiling upward in the night WO: Easy now.
Careful with that equipment.
We've done well so far.
Remember, we move tomorrow morning, 0830 hours.
Will the party speak to someone else or do you want to? Just a minute.
He's coming now.
One moment, please.
- CID, Hong Kong.
Priority call.
- Right.
Yeah, go ahead.
This is McGarrett.
Blake here.
It's 3:00 in the bloody morning and I'm gonna drop a bomb in your lap, McGarrett.

We've picked up a floater in Victoria Harbor.
We just got a positive ID.
It's T.

He's awfully dead.
These are two of my students.
They're assisting in the experiment today.

Post at the college? Negative, Steve.
We've been ringing there for ten minutes.
No answer.
McGARRETT: Try the Campus Security Police.
If you get through, tell them to proceed to Laboratory 2 and to alert our people that a Professor T.

[SIRENS WAILING.]
McGARRETT: Give me a hand here.
There are two gunshot victims in the hallway.
They were alive when I left them.
These people were gassed.
Get them some help.
CHIN HO: Steve, Steve.
- Yeah? This was attached to the wall in the utility room.
"Freon gas, 12.

Island Gas Company.
Get on the horn to Central, I want every man, every police car, to be on the alert for that truck.
And double security on all reservoirs and water supply systems, any place those toxins might be used.
Notify Army, Navy and Public Health Service, full red alert, on the double.
The toxins have been stolen.
McGARRETT: Someone got into the lab before the experiments took place.
Is something wrong, doctor? Well, I did let someone in the lab, but McGARRETT: You what? Oh, he couldn't possibly have been responsible, not Professor Shang.
You're right, doctor.
Professor Shang couldn't have been responsible, because Professor Shang has never been in Hawaii.
He was murdered in Hong Kong a few days ago.
DANNY: Steve.
- Yeah, Danno? Naturally, no Professor Shang at the Hayakowani Hotel.
His suite was empty, except for this.
McGARRETT: It says, "You were too late, McGarrett.
I have obtained what I came for.
When and where I use it, you will learn in due time.
" No signature, none needed.
Only one man could have pulled this heist.
- Wo Fat? - Yeah.
I know his style and I know his methods.
And for the first time, I think I know where to find him.
Where's that? McGARRETT: Danno.
This paper looked unusual, sir, so we took it to the lab for analysis.
It turned out to be handmade rice paper, uh, which is manufactured only in the Orient.
Under ultraviolet light, this mark became visible.
Chin, what's it say? [CHIN HO SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
Nine Dragons has two meanings.
It's a peninsula, part of the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong, and it's an organization.
They call them triads.
I've heard the term.
They are the crime families in the East.
Nine Dragons is the biggest and most feared triad.
And our major lead to Wo Fat.
Governor, I request your permission to go after him.
Of course, I'll be working with the full cooperation of the Hong Kong Police.
How long would you be gone? Until I find Wo Fat, until I recover the toxins, however long that takes.
WOMAN [OVER PA.]
: Your attention, please.
Flight 209 now arriving at Gate 4.
Air Siam Flight 209 now arriving at Gate 4.
- Mr.
McGarrett.
McGARRETT: Ah.
Carter, CID.
Welcome to Hong Kong, Mr.
McGarrett.
- Thank you.
Thank you, Mr.
Carter.
- Mr.
Blake sends his apologies.
He was planning to be here himself, but unfortunately a double murder on Tsing Yi Island said otherwise.
Oh, I see.
First visit? Once before.
I was here during the Korean War.
I had some R and R coming, so I took it here.
You'll find Hong Kong has changed a lot.
What hasn't? Not everything, but we do have hopes, Mr.
McGarrett.
[McGARRETT GRUNTS.]
WO: A most magnificent view, McGarrett, so enhanced by such excellent company.
Seems that I have won.
Deadly toxins, so carefully guarded by the Hawaii Five-0, are now in my hands as is its protector.
Oh, it was most obliging of you to follow the Nine Dragons clue which I left in Hawaii quite hopefully.
Your agents, picking me up at the airport, had to be sure that the real Hong Kong Police wouldn't be there.
Correct.
Which means they had to be decoyed.
How? Oh, come now, we are both professionals.
Surely you know that what you say now can make little difference.
It would have been so much simpler to finish the job while I was drugged.
So there had to be another reason.
Again you do not disappoint me.
Indeed, you were brought here for a purpose.
A single, simple purpose.
[CHUCKLES.]
Your answer? I think you've guessed it.
You realize that it's wholly within my power to make you comply.
Sure.
Sure, a little Chinese torture, perhaps? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
A crude word, McGarrett.
It's now a science, nothing more.
Behavior modification through stress.
Of course, we have refined the methods considerably - since the Korean War.
- Yeah.
But then the world, even in those days, looked at your brave Gls standing before cameras, confessing their crimes against the People's Republic of China.
And you will do it too, McGarrett.
One way or another.
Why not spare yourself a most unpleasant experience? And if I do, then what? Your release and freedom.
I give you my word as a professional.
And you have my word, as a professional.
That does not make me happy.
Take him.
Mr.
McGarrett's reconditioning will begin.
He did say 209.
Check the flight supervisor.
I want a detailed passenger list.
Right.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Williams.
OPERATOR: Long distance from Hong Kong.
One moment, please.
Go ahead, sir.
Williams? Blake here.
What's happened to McGarrett? He hasn't arrived? BLAKE [OVER PHONE.]
: Not on Flight 209, he hasn't.
No, you've got the wrong flight.
He was on Air Siam Flight 17, arriving Hong Kong 10 a.
m.
Your time.
[OVER PHONE.]
We sent you a cable.
No, no, that was the first plan.
Then it was changed to Flight 209, arriving 12 noon, our time.
[OVER PHONE.]
Uh, it was in the second cable.
We never sent you a second cable.
Oh.
Well, I'll investigate and keep you informed.
Goodbye.
Chin, get ready for a trip.
No.
No.
[SCREAMING.]
[WO LAUGHING.]
No.
No.
[WO LAUGHING.]
[YELLING.]
WOMAN [OVER PA.]
: Flight 94 from Williams, we've met before, haven't we? International Police Convention.
Sydney, Australia, of course.
Good to see you.
- This is, uh, Chin Ho Kelly, Five-0.
- How do you do? - Anthony Waring, CID, Triad Bureau.
- How do you do? Anything on McGarrett? Not any more, except that we know that he was on the earlier flight and never reached his hotel.
I'm afraid we've just got to assume the worst.
We already have.
McGarrett.
McGarrett.
Everything is all right.
The ordeal is over.
I've got to sleep.
You'll get plenty of sleep and food.
You've been a very good boy.
[McGARRETT MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY.]
[GROANS.]
[GRUNTS.]
WO: My part of the bargain, delivered.
The rest is up to you, general.
I must confess, certain problems have arisen.
What sort of problems? The people I have engaged, are concerned about the aftermath.
What could be more clear? When the deed is done, I will go to Peking to assume command, and issue the orders that will bring the American imperialists to their knees.
And you, general, will once again have a high army command.
Honolulu, Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, New York, Washington.
These are our primary targets.
The rest is a mere mopping-up action.
That much we understand.
It is the rest of the world we are concerned about.
How do we know they will not turn against us after our preemptive strike? Because our act will be fully justified with this.
McGarrett has actually done this? To perfection.
[MAN SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
[MAN GRUNTS.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
Yes? Escaped? How? Execute them at once and inform all Nine Dragon members that by tonight, I want to see the corpse of Steve McGarrett.
[SUZIE SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
That's you.
Yeah.
You are American? Yeah.
I've got to get to police headquarters right away.
- In Central? - Yes.
Which way? Quickly, quickly.
That way.
Come with me.
[TIRE SCREECHES.]
OFFICER: Get ready for advance.
About turn.
[OFFICER YELLING INDISTINCTLY.]
Um, incidentally, there's the second cable that arrived.
It's our one clue for the time being.
We're running it down right now through the cable offices in Hawaii.
With luck we might make an ID on the sender.
BLAKE: If only we knew why McGarrett came here, it might help develop some leads.
Toxin, two vials, wipe out an entire city.
Someone stole them from Hawaii posing as Professor Shang.
McGarrett was after them.
Why here? There was only one clue left.
It had the mark of Nine Dragons.
Ah, they're ours.
One of our most notorious crime organizations.
Well, that we know.
What about a full mobilization sweep? It may work for Honolulu, but not in Hong Kong.
If as much as one policeman is seen here, everything and everybody vanishes into the woodwork.
And I do mean everybody.
As a matter of fact, we have got somebody in Nine Dragons at the moment, loaned to us from Special Branch.
Code Number 42.
Waring, check on him right away, will you? Yes, sir.
MASTER [IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
: INITIATE [IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
: MASTER: INITIATE: ALL [IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
: [IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
[MEN SHOUTING.]
Excuse me, sir, but I've made contact with 42.
BLAKE: Good.
- Nine Dragons was holding McGarrett.
They've got every member out searching for him with orders to kill on sight.
Well, then he's escaped.
Yes, apparently from a boat in East Lamma Channel.
East Lamma Channel.
There's the channel, nearest town.
Chief Superintendent Blake here.
Get me the officer in charge of CID at Aberdeen.
[MAN SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
- What did he say? - That's the Police Headquarters.
- We get off - No, no.
No, no.
I get off here.
You to go back to your boat, Suzie.
But you're not in good shape.
You need help.
You've helped me enough.
I've put you in danger.
I want you to go back to your boat.
I'm very grateful to you, Suzie.
Thank you.
I can make it across the street alone.
- You're sure you're all right? - I'm all right.
Take care of yourself, okay? Okay.
[YELLS.]
[GRUNTING.]
All I can find is exhaustion, physical and mental.
Some rest and some food, you'll be good as new.
Thank you, doctor.
There's a cot down the hall if you want to sack out for a while.
No, Danno, there's no time.
Something is going to happen at 4:00.
Something we've got to stop.
- What's happening? McGARRETT: I don't know.
I don't know.
BLAKE: Perhaps if you can tell us what you do remember, it might come back to you.
I remember landing in Kowloon.
I remember being met by three men who said they were from your office.
We got into a car.
And we began driving and there was a The man on the right pulled an automatic.
The man in the left front seat shot me in the neck with something.
Felt like a dart.
Then, when I came to, I was in a strange compound.
And Wo Fat was there.
Yes.
Yes.
He wanted me to say something or to do something.
Then, when I refused that's when the treatment started.
Of brainwashing? Yeah, I guess you could call it that, Danno.
Latest techniques, things that we never heard of.
Then it was over.
Wo Fat was standing in front of me saying that I was a good boy.
For doing what? I don't know.
I don't know, Danno.
It's all that's coming through.
I don't know.
Take it easy, Steve.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Steve, I just spoke to Duke in Honolulu.
They checked the Cable Office.
No record of a second cablegram to Honolulu.
Who delivered that cable to you? It was on my desk when I got here in the morning.
- Put there by your secretary? - No, no.
It was 8:00.
She wasn't in then.
- Then by whom? - Could be anybody in the building.
Someone who knew we sent an earlier cable.
Are you suggesting it was somebody on my staff? Happens in the best of intelligence units, old boy.
Deep-planted mole, double agent.
I'd hate to think that you're right, McGarrett, but I can bloody soon find out.
BLAKE: Right.
I'll keep this brief.
Because of information just received, we've decided to abandon the search for McGarrett.
All of those involved in the operation can be assigned to other duties.
Any questions? Does that mean that McGarrett is safe or he's dead, sir? I don't want this to go any further for the time being, but I'm afraid that the news is bad.
And now to another matter.
We've been informed there's to be a meeting of the Red Lodge Triad Society in the Golden Orchid District on Monday the 11th.
We are gonna raid that meeting Oh.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm sorry.
What you have just seen is to go no further than this room.
Is that understood? It is part of our strategy to have them believe that McGarrett is dead.
We'll meet tomorrow morning, at the Red Lodge raid.
That will be all.
Well done.
And now we watch and we listen.
And if there is a mole in the organization, I think that ought to smoke him out.
WOMAN [OVER PA.]
: Flight 94 for Hangzhou, mainland China, now boarding from Gate 7.
Excuse me, sir.
But there's been a killing in Wan Chai.
I'm on my way to investigate.
Why not leave it to Homicide? Frank Chambers is ill.
Besides, it's a triad thing, my department.
All right.
But I shall need a full report.
Yes, of course.
Chief Superintendent Blake here.
Top-secret priority instructions.
Listen carefully.
I want strict surveillance on a gentleman leaving the building at this very moment.
- Yes? - Seventh Dragon.
McGarrett is alive.
He's in Blake's office.
You're certain of this? Quite certain.
I saw him myself just a few moments ago.
Oh, and you left right away to phone me.
You know where my loyalty is.
Yes, and so does Blake.
I'm afraid you have fallen into a trap.
You're right, old Blake's improving with age.
[OVER PHONE.]
Don't worry, I won't lead them to you.
Yes, but neither can you return to your office.
[OVER PHONE.]
We must assume that your cover has been blown.
What shall I do? We'll help you get out of Hong Kong.
New name, new life somewhere else.
The past will be forgotten.
[OVER PHONE.]
Can you leave right away? Of course, I'm tied to nothing.
Go to the 14 Quay Steps.
We'll have a boat waiting.
Sail southeast to Tat Hong Channel.
[OVER PHONE.]
There you'll be met by a larger vessel.
All right.
[DIALS.]
Arrange a boat for Mr.
Waring quickly.
Twenty-four to Blake.
Subject taking evasive action.
Over.
All units.
All units.
We'll join in pursuit.
Keep us informed of exact position.
Shall we go? [POLICE SIREN WAILING.]
Waring.
Waring, can you hear me? Waring, where is Nine Dragons Command? You know who did this to you, don't you? Your friends in the Nine Dragons.
Your blood brothers that you're trying to protect.
No.
And Wo Fat sits at the top of the heap, happy to cancel you out for his own protection.
Waring, is that how you wanna leave it? Huh? Tell me, where is he? [WHISPERS.]
Victorian Peak.
[POLICE SIRENS WAILING.]
OFFICER: Hurry up.
Go, go.
WO: A most magnificent view, McGarrett.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
[WO LAUGHING.]
Well, I think we can safely say our birds have flown.
Something wrong? No, nothing's wrong.
Your accommodations? Yeah, sometime.
Lovely, isn't it? Yeah Movies.
They took movies of me saying something.
BLAKE: Saying what? I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't remember.
There she is.
MAN: Can I help you? Yes, we're interested in a roll of motion picture film that may have been developed here within the last 48 hours.
Look, we do strictly legitimate work here.
No porno stuff DANNY: We're not here to bust you.
We just want this film.
BLAKE: Do hurry, man.
Time is vital to us.
If we did the work, it would be in the log over here.
- You know the name of the company? - I don't know.
Could I see the log, please? Now, these firms, do you know them? Have you done work for them before? Yeah, most of them.
What about this one? "Wall City Films.
" No, they're, uh, a new one.
"Two hundred feet.
Uh, 35 mm, with soundtrack.
" Now, where's that? We got that out last night.
Delivered it by hand to the client.
Did you keep a print? Ha.
If we kept a print of everything we produced here, we'd need a storeroom bigger than China.
Did anyone here see this film? Screen it? If anyone did, it would be the timer.
He sometimes runs a quality check, but not always.
Chief Superintendent Blake, CID.
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
McGARRETT: What's he saying? Something about you, Steve.
That you're a traitor, betrayed your country.
All right, all right, simmer down.
This is Mr.
McGarrett of Hawaii Five-0.
Well, he saw a film with you.
He has a print.
He made a print? Get it.
McGARRETT [ON FILM.]
: My name is Steven McGarrett, I am head of Hawaii Five-0, an American police unit.
I am making this statement of my own free will for satellite broadcast throughout the world.
It has come to my knowledge that at exactly 4:00 today agents of the United States of America poisoned the water supply of Hangzhou where government leaders of the People's Republic of China were meeting.
Two kinds of poison were used: Cobra venom and saxitoxin.
The latter derived from the red tide bacteria of shellfish.
Both poisons were prepared and developed by United States intelligence agencies.
I know because I was in charge of security while this crime was being planned under the guise of a research project.
I call upon world conscience to condemn my government for this act of mass murder.
As a personal protest, I intend to give up my American citizenship.
My God.
How could I say those things? Even brainwashed, how could I say those things? Steve, you had no control.
We saw it in Korea so many times.
Whole companies of men denouncing their countries with absolute lies.
Is it a total lie? Or is it the truth with the names of the guilty changed? Wo Fat steals the toxins from Honolulu.
Wo Fat poisons the water supply of Hangzhou, wiping out the main body of Chinese leadership.
He beams this film over satellite, announcing to the world that the United States did it.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Meanwhile, Wo Fat sets himself up as the leader of China.
Steps into the power vacuum.
- And then what? - Then How about a retaliatory nuclear strike against the United States? It's possible.
H-hour is exactly 4:00.
That gives us only 36 minutes to find Wo Fat's headquarters.
You said that the film was delivered by hand? Who delivered it? - I did.
- Can you show us the way? - Yeah, sure.
McGARRETT: Danno, Chin? Get over to, uh, China Travel Service.
We'll hit Wall City Films.
Let's go.
All units, all units.
Converge on Wall City Films.
Prepare for full mobilized assault.
DANNY: We're American police officers.
We have an urgent message for your government.
- Then you must contact Peking.
- No time.
We want you to do it for us.
But we are merely travel agents.
Yes, we know you're just travel agents.
But this is a matter of life and death for your own government leaders.
CHIN HO: Maybe the whole world.
Please, get on that phone to Peking.
Surely, you've got the wrong people.
We are merely May I remind you of an old Chinese saying: [SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
"He who does not stop murder is himself a murderer.
" [SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]

MAN [OVER MONITOR.]

You've done very well.
I am proud to share with you this moment in history.
And I promise you that as soon as [ALARM BUZZING.]
Security camera, Monitor 3.
Quick.
Quick.
McGarrett.
Come here.
Where is Wo Fat? Where is Wo Fat? Get him out of here.
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
Looks like Peking got the message, huh? So it seems.
You can look for all the secret passages you want, Blake.
I'll tell you one thing you won't find.
What? Top Dragon.
Come back soon.
But, please, not on business.
I'd like that, Blake.
Thank you.
Thank you, for all your cooperation.
McGarrett, it's been a great pleasure.
Mr.
McGarrett.
Here's a going-home gift from our office.
I owe a debt of thanks to your government.
Please, I do not represent my government.
We are merely travel agents.
Yes, I know.
Ha, ha.
Travel agents.
Steve, just came over the radio.
It's from Blake.
"Triad leader shot by police in Wall City.
Face disfigured, but ID in pockets reveal corpse to be Wo Fat.
" Maybe this time it's true.
Yeah, maybe.
And maybe not.
