Hawaii Five-O (1968) s09e08 Episode Script
Heads, You're Dead
JIM: Why would they kill my parents? McGARRETT: In the past year, four yachts have been hijacked for use in smuggling Asian heroin into the islands.
Not once has a witness been left behind alive.
Where did you leave her exactly? DANNY: Checking the east slips at Kaimana Marina.
If they figured they're being followed, wouldn't they get out of the lanes? BRANNEN: We should extend our search pattern of the regular shipping lanes.
- This is where you fine people get off.
SANDl: Off? ELDON: You didn't expect us to take you all the way to Hong Kong, did you? VAN CLEEF: Oh, Mr.
Thompson.
I just figured out our ETA.
We should be arriving in Honolulu at about 1300 hours.
Well, then Jim will only beat us in by a few hours.
- I would say no more that that.
- We've been keeping up well.
I told you we should've entered this race.
Since we had a four-day head start, I'm afraid the race committee would consider that cheating.
Bama.
[GROANS.]
- Do you think we should radio Jim? - He should be nearing the finish line.
I don't think we should give him a call just now.
I think you're right.
You two got no respect? You don't believe in saluting your new skipper? And according to our reporter at Transpac, there are still 17 yachts yet to complete the race.
The excitement generated by this race is no more evident anywhere than among the faces of the spectators gathered here at Diamond Head to watch the finish.
With most of the yachts being at sea just under 12 days, one can well imagine the fatigue the crew must feel.
And now approaching the Diamond Head buoy which marks the finish line is a boat considered by most experts to be the most outstanding of her class: Tempest.
The Tempest has just crossed the finish line, and we're going to check now for her official time.
The marina is overflowing with people who have come to offer the sailors their good wishes.
Many of the boats already anchored, old friends are reunited.
Parties are taking place in celebration of a race well sailed.
[CROWD CHATTERING AND LAUGHING.]
MAN: Pour it right in.
JIM: Mm.
Have some? WOMAN: Oh.
Mm.
- Jim.
Hey, Jim.
JIM: Yeah? If Arriba doesn't get in by 1:00, we got second in our class.
All right, all right.
Hey, I almost forgot, got a radio call from your dad.
- Oh, yeah? When's he due in? - He's not.
He left a message for you.
Said to tell you he and your mom were gonna split and hit the other islands, take a couple of weeks' vacation.
- You're sure that's what he said? - Got it from Captain Hook himself.
Hey, Rosemary.
Let me have that, babe.
Lady Fame, this is Starfire II.
Whiskey-Yankee-November-5651 calling Lady Fame.
Come in, please.
JIM [OVER RADIO.]
: Lady Fame, this is Starfire II.
Do you copy? Over.
Lady Fame, this is Starfire II.
Answer if you read.
Over.
Dad, this is Jim.
Do you copy? Over.
This is Starfire II.
Whiskey-Yankee-November-5651 out.
Gee, thanks, Mr.
Thompson.
Now, you two just sit down and make yourselves comfortable, okay? Hey, Eldon? Me and Bama are gonna go into town and get some supplies.
Listen, I want you to get a blanket or a tarp or something and cover up that name on the stern in case anybody comes snooping.
- Yeah, sure, Charlie.
- All right.
Bama.
Hey, Charlie.
What are we gonna do about them when we take off to Hong Kong? We'll take them along for a little ways, then we'll cancel their tickets.
Okay.
Let's put the outboard on this dinghy, come on.
[RADIO BEEPS.]
DANNY [OVER RADIO.]
: Williams calling McGarrett.
Yes, Danno? DANNY: Steve, the Coast Guard just called.
They said you asked to be notified immediately if they got any more reports about missing yachts.
Those were my instructions.
They just got one on the yacht Lady Fame out of Newport Beach.
Call Commander Brannen.
Tell him I'm on my way.
JIM: My parents sailed over in their own boat to watch the race, Mr.
McGarrett, just like they do every race year.
They left Long Beach a few days before I did.
Have you heard from them since then? Oh, yeah, I spoke with them at least once a day on the radio all the way over.
As a matter of fact, I talked to my dad just this morning.
We were only a few hours out, and he was laying, oh, I'm not sure I understand your concern.
Well, after we tied up, I was given a radio message from my dad saying that he and my mom were gonna cruise around the other islands and spend a couple of weeks.
For the past six months, my parents and I have been planning to sail to Tahiti.
And we were only gonna lay over here until after the awards dinner Tuesday.
Are you certain whoever took that message spoke directly to your father? JIM: He was positive.
- Who was it? - His name is Richie.
Richie Edwards.
He's a member of my crew.
- And where can we reach him? - At the llikai.
Now, have you tried to contact your parents since you got that message? Several times.
There was no answer, and that's what really worries me.
I've got a search underway, Steve, but so far we've come up empty.
Well, there aren't many places on this island that you can hide a boat that size.
ELDON: You all ready? BAMA: Yeah, I got it.
ELDON: You be sure you tie that blanket down real good.
[GUN COCKS.]
BAMA: Hey, out there! Out! Leave us alone! Get out of here! No, the Coast Guard will be swarming all over us.
The boat's already made us.
It's gonna spoil everything.
[GUNSHOT.]
This is Whiskey-Zebra-Golf-9299 calling Coast Guard Honolulu.
Come in.
Over.
RADIOMAN [OVER RADIO.]
: Go ahead, Whisky-Zebra-Golf-9299.
Some creeps from a boat just shot at us.
Did you sustain any damage? No, I don't think so.
Roger.
What's your present position? North Shore, about two miles south of Kawela Bay.
Roger.
Were you able to identify the boat that fired on you? Yeah, the Lady Fame.
There were three guys on deck.
Roger, Whiskey-Zebra-Golf-9299.
Maintain radio contact.
Out.
This is hot, chief.
Better get this to the O.
D.
On the double.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
- McGarrett.
MALIA [OVER PHONE.]
: Telephone.
- Commander Brannen on line one.
- Put him on, please.
Frank? Uh, Steve, we just got a line on that missing yacht, the Lady Fame.
Has she turned up? No, not exactly, but we know where she is.
A cove up near Kawela Bay on the North Shore.
[OVER PHONE.]
Some nut onboard with a rifle opened up on a powerboat passing by.
With a rifle? - Any explanation? BRANNEN: None.
I've got a chopper on surveillance, and I've got a boat standing by if you'd like to run up there with me.
On my way, Frank.
Thank you.
Let's see what this is.
Yeah.
Careful.
My God.
McGARRETT: Coast Guard Honolulu? Coast Guard Honolulu, this is McGarrett.
Come in, please.
This is Coast Guard Honolulu, Mr.
McGarrett, go ahead.
I'm aboard the yacht Lady Fame, anchored somewhere near Kawela Bay on the north shore of Oahu.
[OVER RADIO.]
Please notify H.
P.
D.
That we found two bodies aboard.
We've tentatively identified them as Celeste and Lyle Thompson.
Do not, repeat, do not release the names until we've notified next of kin.
Roger.
We'll take care of it.
This is Coast Guard Honolulu out.
What do you think, Steve? Robbery? Well, they probably took everything that wasn't nailed down.
The chronometer and sextant are gone, so are the watches and rings.
But I'm more interested in finding out what happened to those three crewmen who fired on those kids.
Let's go.
There's also the captain, Van Cleef.
What happened to him? According to the son, he's skippered for the family for the past 20 years.
McGARRETT: Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Frank.
This might explain what happened to the captain, huh? I guess that means there's nobody left alive that can tell us anything.
Nobody except the killers.
The dinghy's not here.
They must have gone ashore in that.
I'd like to try to find that dinghy, Frank.
If they beached it, it would at least give us a starting point.
Right.
I'll leave a couple hands onboard here for security.
They can keep an eye on things until the police arrive.
But tell them not to touch anything until our Lab boys get here.
BRANNEN: I'll see to it.
You two stay onboard here.
Leave everything just as it is.
OFFICER: Yes, sir.
McGARRETT: Oh, wait a minute.
There it is.
There it is, Frank, over in that little cove.
- See it? - Yes, I see it.
With the head start they have, they'll be long gone, but at least we pinpointed where they've come ashore.
I'd like to have that rubber dinghy picked up, Frank.
- May I use your radio? - Right.
Coast Guard Honolulu, Coast Guard Honolulu.
This is McGarrett, Five-0.
Come in, please.
RADIOMAN [OVER RADIO.]
: Coast Guard Honolulu.
Go ahead.
I'd like a patch to Officer Dan Williams at the Five-0 headquarters.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Williams.
- Danno? - Yeah, Steve? McGARRETT [OVER PHONE.]
: We found where the killers put ashore.
A mile south of Kawela Bay.
That's a short hike to the Kam Highway.
McGARRETT: Right, and that's probably where they headed.
I want you to call H.
P.
D.
, seal off the highway from Kahuku to Waimea.
Right.
McGARRETT: And set up an immediate search of the entire North Shore area.
Get Chin, Duke, and as many officers as H.
P.
D.
Can spare.
I'll get on it right away, Steve.
[DIALING PHONE.]
But why? Why would they kill my parents? I don't know, Jim.
What happened to your parents, though, fits a pattern.
In the past year, four offshore yachts have been hijacked for use in smuggling Asian heroin into the islands.
Not once has a witness been left behind alive.
Yeah, but my father called over the radio.
He was okay then.
He was probably forced to make that call.
What do you know about the three men your parents signed on to crew for them? Uh, very little.
I never met them.
My parents told me they were young.
Just out of the merchant marine, and they seemed to be very good sailors.
What are you doing about finding them? We have an all-points bulletin out on them.
All highways leading from the North Shore are blocked.
Nobody can get through.
We'll let you know as soon as anything develops.
All right.
[JIM SIGHS.]
- Thank you.
- Thanks for coming in, Jim.
- Please get them, Mr.
McGarrett.
- Yeah.
I'm not looking for vengeance.
I just don't wanna see anyone else hurt.
We'll get them.
[CHARLIE, BAMA & ELDON SINGING.]
It's really nice to work with you again, Officer Williams.
Since we're a team for a while, why don't we make it Sandi and Dan? Okay, Dan.
Um, did Mr.
McGarrett request me for this assignment? - You mean personally? - Mm-hm.
Sorry, Sandi, I'm afraid you were just part of a package deal.
Oh, well, heh.
I guess I'm just suffering through some kind of identity crisis.
[BOTH SPEAKING IN CHINESE.]
Oh.
What do we have here, Chin? He wanted to sit in your chair.
McGARRETT: Oh, good, good, let him.
[SPEAKS IN CHINESE.]
We may have something, Steve.
The old man picked up three hitchhikers on the North Shore yesterday and dropped them off at Kapolei Road, near the university turnoff.
What brought him to us? Says his son heard about the hijackers on the news.
Was he able to give you descriptions? Yeah, one had a beard.
Otherwise, all Caucasians look alike to him.
[CHIN HO CHUCKLES.]
Has H.
P.
D.
Been notified? Yeah, they dropped a net over the whole area.
So far, they've drawn a blank.
[McGARRETT SIGHS.]
McGARRETT: Which means we still have all zeros on our scoreboard.
Take him to your office.
Any scrap of information you can come up with would be helpful.
All right.
[FARMER SPEAKS IN CHINESE.]
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Kapolei Road, university cutoff.
- Not much of a pattern.
There are four marinas within a few miles of where they were dropped off.
That's a lot of boats to choose from, Steve.
That's if they chose a boat.
- Looks like we got us a boat.
- Look at it, Charlie.
ELDON: When are we gonna do it? Well, we wanna wait till they finish loading up the supplies for us.
- Don't we? Huh? - Right, right, right.
Come on, let's take a walk.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
DANNY: Yeah, Steve? - Danno.
I want two-man teams assigned to every marina.
If the hijackers surface and try to sign on any boat leaving the islands, I wanna be the first one to know about it.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
If we can - McGarrett.
MALIA: Long-distance call from Chief Inspector Quincy in Hong Kong.
- Oh, good, good, put him on, please.
MALIA: Yes, sir.
Philip? How are you? QUINCY [OVER PHONE.]
: I may have something of interest for you.
Good, go ahead.
QUINCY: The context of the conversation was that all systems are still go on a heroin shipment into Honolulu.
Do you know his contact here, who made the call? QUINCY: I had the call traced and came up with a local number for you.
555-8986.
[PEN SCRATCHING.]
Thank you, Philip.
This might be the break we're waiting for.
Aloha.
Danno, check the address that goes with this phone number and arrange for H.
P.
D.
Backup.
We're gonna hit them.
Let's go.
McGarrett to all units, McGarrett to all units.
Take your position.
We're going in.
Sandi? Hi.
I'll take the west end, you take the east.
Okay.
Uh Try not to act too salty in your outfit, Officer Williams.
[MAN LAUGHS.]
MAN [OVER RADIO.]
: All units: Three men answering the description of the 241 suspects reported seen at Okalani Marina.
All units in vicinity respond.
Code 3.
Williams, Five-0, proceeding.
Honey.
Come on inside.
Or I'll blow your face off.
Come on.
Come on.
My, my, will you look what we have here? - Hey, man, where'd she come from? - She was sneaking around topside.
Check her ID.
Nothing here but an old identification card.
"Sandi Welles, Now, I wanna know what you're doing here.
I was just looking for some friends.
I was I was invited to a cocktail party.
Is this the Vista Princess? You know damn well what boat this is.
Well, anyone can make a mistake.
If you'll just take your hand off my throat, I'll be on my way.
Tie her up with the others.
[CHARLIE GRUNTS THEN LAUGHS.]
- Sorry, Officer Williams, false alarm.
- What happened? Three juiced-up local boys tried to play Mutiny on the Bounty with one of the boats.
Say, I hear you got yourself a new partner.
What'd you do with her? Steve, Sandi Welles didn't show up at the briefing this morning.
When did you see her last? Yesterday, about an hour before I split to respond to that false alarm.
Where did you leave her exactly? Checking the east slips at Kaimana Marina.
Have you tried calling her home? Yeah, she didn't show up all night.
Nobody's seen her.
- Malia? MALIA: Yes, sir? Get me Commander Brannen of the Coast Guard, please.
MALIA: Right away.
- Strange.
We checked, Steve.
The only offshore yacht to pull out of Kaimana Marina yesterday was the Sea Sage.
- Any idea what time she pulled out? - We don't know that.
We just don't have the facilities or the personnel to keep an eye on every boat that's running around these islands.
Well This would be her great circle route to Hong Kong.
But if they figure they're being followed, wouldn't they get out of the shipping lanes? Yeah, probably.
Drop down to the south, pick up the trades.
I think we should extend our search pattern of the regular shipping lanes.
- Good idea.
- I've got the Cape Corwin standing by.
- I'm just waiting for word from you.
- Let's go.
You know, missy, if you're still thinking about help a-coming, there won't be any.
We're miles away from where anybody would be looking.
SANDl: I was thinking about how hot it is slaving over this stove for you guys.
Aw.
Maybe in a while, Charlie might let you go swimming.
Hey.
Said you was an airline stewardess.
Supposing I don't buy that? Suppose I'm not selling it.
It happens to be the truth.
Missy, missy, don't you pay Charlie over there no never mind.
He's the product of a broken home, ha, ha.
That's right.
Hell, I was the one that broke it.
You never mind about that.
Just fix the chow, would you? You asked for Spanish omelets.
They take a little longer.
BAMA: Mm.
Hey, missy, don't you forget to put a little dash of this hot sauce on that.
Mm.
Uh, do you mind? What'd you do the toast with, a blowtorch? When you ordered me to fix breakfast, you forgot to ask if I could cook.
Looks fine to me.
You better eat your eggs while they're still hot.
Hellfire, he's having a conniption fit.
SANDl: Unh! - You're a funny lady.
I didn't know how much to put on it.
You wanted the hot sauce.
You do a number like that on me, better learn to dance with it.
- You eat it.
- I don't like omelets.
- Eat it! - Unh.
[COUGHING.]
CHARLIE: You're just starting, lady.
You're just starting.
Come on.
This is Coast Guard 1350.
DANNY [OVER RADIO.]
: Calling Coast Guard Cutter Cape Corwin.
McGarrett.
Yeah, go ahead, Danno.
We're holding the search pattern, Steve.
So far a big fat zero.
Stay with it, Danno.
She's out there somewhere.
All right, now, come on.
Let's go.
- Got them all here.
CHARLIE: Come on, hurry up.
Come on, come on.
All right.
- This is where you fine people get off.
- Off? You didn't expect us to take you all the way to Hong Kong, did you? We wouldn't last 30 minutes in these waters without a raft.
- Oh, yeah? Try it.
- Hey, hey, hey, Charlie? - I got an idea.
- Yeah? Let's flip them for it.
Tails, you get the life raft.
Heads, you're dead.
Ha-ha-ha.
All right.
That sounds fair enough to me.
But as I always said, first things first.
And now the first thing I want you all to do is get off.
Come on.
All right, you're first, you're first.
Get up there, get up there, get up there! You, get over, get over.
- Get over there.
- I hope you sink.
[CHARLIE LAUGHING.]
They're turning around.
What do you figure they're up to? Must be your lucky day, missy.
That old nickel just came up tails.
- Come on, come on.
- Yeah, hey.
- All right.
- Hey, we got a raft.
[SANDI PANTING.]
SANDl: Okay.
- Come on, Sandi.
SANDl: Thank you.
- Ah.
Thank you.
RAMSEY: Oh, I should've known.
SANDl: What? - Coming back like that.
- They punched a hole in it.
SANDl: Oh.
- No, they punched two.
SANDl: They've got to be sick.
Hey, here's some tape.
Maybe we can patch it up with some of this stuff.
It won't last very long once the sun and the seawater get to it.
- Coffee, Steve? - Oh, thank you.
It's starting to leak pretty bad up here.
How much of that tape we got left? MURPHY: That's it, skipper.
I know things don't look too good right now, Miss Welles.
- But if you stop to think about it - It gets worse.
I sure hope he hasn't seen that movie.
Yep, he's still there.
Let's see, yesterday morning I got up, showered.
Didn't have any orange juice.
But that was cool.
You guys know that commercial on television about the fruit punch where the big guy punches out the little guy? So I thought I would make myself some.
So I got a bunch of fresh fruit and I put it in a blender.
But I must have put in too much papaya or something.
It really tasted weird.
And then I got dressed and went down to the station, and Sergeant Matsu said it was gonna be another routine day.
Routine day.
Here I am 24 hours later, floating around in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in a leaky life raft, surrounded by a bunch of sharks who look like they haven't eaten in weeks.
I'm so thirsty, I cannot stand it.
And all I can think of is why did I throw away that lousy punch? Look.
- Hey, hey! - Hey, there's a plane up there.
Yeah, here.
Hey, over here! - Over there, Mike, what is it? - I'm not sure.
Sometimes the sun hitting the water just right makes it glare like that.
Over here! Help! Over here.
Help! Help! - Help! Help! MURPHY: Hey, over here, help! Hey! - They didn't see us.
Ugh.
RAMSEY: Help! Yeah! Help! Let's check it out.
Hey, look.
- Hey! Hey, over here! RAMSEY: Help! Help! SANDl: Over here! We're down here! They've found us.
Can you believe it? They found us.
RAMSEY: Help! Hey, hey! MURPHY: Hey! Over here! Over here! Hey, hey! SANDl: Here! MURPHY: Over here! Yeah, here, here! SANDl: No, over here! DANNY [OVER RADIO.]
: Come in, Steve.
Yeah, Danno, go ahead.
We've spotted the raft, Steve.
Sandi's aboard with three men.
DANNY: The raft is taking on a lot of water.
What's your position? What grid are you in? I got a cutoff, Danno.
Can you come in? Please repeat.
What is your position? What grid are you in? DANNY: Grid 27, Quadrant 9.
- Thank you.
There she is, Steve.
[DISCO MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO.]
BRANNEN: How long ago did they put you over the side? I'd say a little over four hours.
BRANNEN: Well, they can't have gone too far.
Steve? I'll have the plane keep on searching this general course.
Good.
Oh.
- Are you all right? - Yes, yeah.
[SHIVERING.]
I guess I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar.
- What happened? - Well, I was down at the marina, and I spotted a man who fit the description of the hijackers.
So I followed him to his boat.
And he was.
What about weapons? How are they armed? Uh, the one man, Charlie, had an automatic rifle.
The other two had handguns.
Would you like something warm to drink? Oh, would I.
- Good, come on.
- Okay.
ELDON: Charlie, she ain't just buzzing around our heads for nothing.
CHARLIE: Been following us for two hours.
Can't stay up there forever.
Soon as she runs out of gas, we'll change course, 220 southwest.
Charlie, look.
CHARLIE: Hey.
[GUN COCKS.]
Sea Sage, this is McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
Stand by to be boarded.
- Heave to, come about.
CHARLIE: Go to hell! This is the final warning.
Heave to.
Throw down your weapons.
We are sending a boarding party.
[GUNFIRE.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GUNFIRE.]
Everyone take cover.
Open fire.
[GUNFIRE.]
Hands up.
Throw down your weapons.
Uh, if you fellas are gonna be around for supper, I'll be happy to cook it for you.
Take them below and lock them up.
SANDl: Mr.
McGarrett? - I'm really embarrassed.
- About what? Well, as you know, it's a cardinal sin for a police officer to lose his badge.
His badge? Mine.
But it was intentional.
I didn't want them to know I was a police officer.
I see.
Well, under the circumstances, I'm sure we can arrange to get you another one.
What's your number?
Not once has a witness been left behind alive.
Where did you leave her exactly? DANNY: Checking the east slips at Kaimana Marina.
If they figured they're being followed, wouldn't they get out of the lanes? BRANNEN: We should extend our search pattern of the regular shipping lanes.
- This is where you fine people get off.
SANDl: Off? ELDON: You didn't expect us to take you all the way to Hong Kong, did you? VAN CLEEF: Oh, Mr.
Thompson.
I just figured out our ETA.
We should be arriving in Honolulu at about 1300 hours.
Well, then Jim will only beat us in by a few hours.
- I would say no more that that.
- We've been keeping up well.
I told you we should've entered this race.
Since we had a four-day head start, I'm afraid the race committee would consider that cheating.
Bama.
[GROANS.]
- Do you think we should radio Jim? - He should be nearing the finish line.
I don't think we should give him a call just now.
I think you're right.
You two got no respect? You don't believe in saluting your new skipper? And according to our reporter at Transpac, there are still 17 yachts yet to complete the race.
The excitement generated by this race is no more evident anywhere than among the faces of the spectators gathered here at Diamond Head to watch the finish.
With most of the yachts being at sea just under 12 days, one can well imagine the fatigue the crew must feel.
And now approaching the Diamond Head buoy which marks the finish line is a boat considered by most experts to be the most outstanding of her class: Tempest.
The Tempest has just crossed the finish line, and we're going to check now for her official time.
The marina is overflowing with people who have come to offer the sailors their good wishes.
Many of the boats already anchored, old friends are reunited.
Parties are taking place in celebration of a race well sailed.
[CROWD CHATTERING AND LAUGHING.]
MAN: Pour it right in.
JIM: Mm.
Have some? WOMAN: Oh.
Mm.
- Jim.
Hey, Jim.
JIM: Yeah? If Arriba doesn't get in by 1:00, we got second in our class.
All right, all right.
Hey, I almost forgot, got a radio call from your dad.
- Oh, yeah? When's he due in? - He's not.
He left a message for you.
Said to tell you he and your mom were gonna split and hit the other islands, take a couple of weeks' vacation.
- You're sure that's what he said? - Got it from Captain Hook himself.
Hey, Rosemary.
Let me have that, babe.
Lady Fame, this is Starfire II.
Whiskey-Yankee-November-5651 calling Lady Fame.
Come in, please.
JIM [OVER RADIO.]
: Lady Fame, this is Starfire II.
Do you copy? Over.
Lady Fame, this is Starfire II.
Answer if you read.
Over.
Dad, this is Jim.
Do you copy? Over.
This is Starfire II.
Whiskey-Yankee-November-5651 out.
Gee, thanks, Mr.
Thompson.
Now, you two just sit down and make yourselves comfortable, okay? Hey, Eldon? Me and Bama are gonna go into town and get some supplies.
Listen, I want you to get a blanket or a tarp or something and cover up that name on the stern in case anybody comes snooping.
- Yeah, sure, Charlie.
- All right.
Bama.
Hey, Charlie.
What are we gonna do about them when we take off to Hong Kong? We'll take them along for a little ways, then we'll cancel their tickets.
Okay.
Let's put the outboard on this dinghy, come on.
[RADIO BEEPS.]
DANNY [OVER RADIO.]
: Williams calling McGarrett.
Yes, Danno? DANNY: Steve, the Coast Guard just called.
They said you asked to be notified immediately if they got any more reports about missing yachts.
Those were my instructions.
They just got one on the yacht Lady Fame out of Newport Beach.
Call Commander Brannen.
Tell him I'm on my way.
JIM: My parents sailed over in their own boat to watch the race, Mr.
McGarrett, just like they do every race year.
They left Long Beach a few days before I did.
Have you heard from them since then? Oh, yeah, I spoke with them at least once a day on the radio all the way over.
As a matter of fact, I talked to my dad just this morning.
We were only a few hours out, and he was laying, oh, I'm not sure I understand your concern.
Well, after we tied up, I was given a radio message from my dad saying that he and my mom were gonna cruise around the other islands and spend a couple of weeks.
For the past six months, my parents and I have been planning to sail to Tahiti.
And we were only gonna lay over here until after the awards dinner Tuesday.
Are you certain whoever took that message spoke directly to your father? JIM: He was positive.
- Who was it? - His name is Richie.
Richie Edwards.
He's a member of my crew.
- And where can we reach him? - At the llikai.
Now, have you tried to contact your parents since you got that message? Several times.
There was no answer, and that's what really worries me.
I've got a search underway, Steve, but so far we've come up empty.
Well, there aren't many places on this island that you can hide a boat that size.
ELDON: You all ready? BAMA: Yeah, I got it.
ELDON: You be sure you tie that blanket down real good.
[GUN COCKS.]
BAMA: Hey, out there! Out! Leave us alone! Get out of here! No, the Coast Guard will be swarming all over us.
The boat's already made us.
It's gonna spoil everything.
[GUNSHOT.]
This is Whiskey-Zebra-Golf-9299 calling Coast Guard Honolulu.
Come in.
Over.
RADIOMAN [OVER RADIO.]
: Go ahead, Whisky-Zebra-Golf-9299.
Some creeps from a boat just shot at us.
Did you sustain any damage? No, I don't think so.
Roger.
What's your present position? North Shore, about two miles south of Kawela Bay.
Roger.
Were you able to identify the boat that fired on you? Yeah, the Lady Fame.
There were three guys on deck.
Roger, Whiskey-Zebra-Golf-9299.
Maintain radio contact.
Out.
This is hot, chief.
Better get this to the O.
D.
On the double.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
- McGarrett.
MALIA [OVER PHONE.]
: Telephone.
- Commander Brannen on line one.
- Put him on, please.
Frank? Uh, Steve, we just got a line on that missing yacht, the Lady Fame.
Has she turned up? No, not exactly, but we know where she is.
A cove up near Kawela Bay on the North Shore.
[OVER PHONE.]
Some nut onboard with a rifle opened up on a powerboat passing by.
With a rifle? - Any explanation? BRANNEN: None.
I've got a chopper on surveillance, and I've got a boat standing by if you'd like to run up there with me.
On my way, Frank.
Thank you.
Let's see what this is.
Yeah.
Careful.
My God.
McGARRETT: Coast Guard Honolulu? Coast Guard Honolulu, this is McGarrett.
Come in, please.
This is Coast Guard Honolulu, Mr.
McGarrett, go ahead.
I'm aboard the yacht Lady Fame, anchored somewhere near Kawela Bay on the north shore of Oahu.
[OVER RADIO.]
Please notify H.
P.
D.
That we found two bodies aboard.
We've tentatively identified them as Celeste and Lyle Thompson.
Do not, repeat, do not release the names until we've notified next of kin.
Roger.
We'll take care of it.
This is Coast Guard Honolulu out.
What do you think, Steve? Robbery? Well, they probably took everything that wasn't nailed down.
The chronometer and sextant are gone, so are the watches and rings.
But I'm more interested in finding out what happened to those three crewmen who fired on those kids.
Let's go.
There's also the captain, Van Cleef.
What happened to him? According to the son, he's skippered for the family for the past 20 years.
McGARRETT: Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Frank.
This might explain what happened to the captain, huh? I guess that means there's nobody left alive that can tell us anything.
Nobody except the killers.
The dinghy's not here.
They must have gone ashore in that.
I'd like to try to find that dinghy, Frank.
If they beached it, it would at least give us a starting point.
Right.
I'll leave a couple hands onboard here for security.
They can keep an eye on things until the police arrive.
But tell them not to touch anything until our Lab boys get here.
BRANNEN: I'll see to it.
You two stay onboard here.
Leave everything just as it is.
OFFICER: Yes, sir.
McGARRETT: Oh, wait a minute.
There it is.
There it is, Frank, over in that little cove.
- See it? - Yes, I see it.
With the head start they have, they'll be long gone, but at least we pinpointed where they've come ashore.
I'd like to have that rubber dinghy picked up, Frank.
- May I use your radio? - Right.
Coast Guard Honolulu, Coast Guard Honolulu.
This is McGarrett, Five-0.
Come in, please.
RADIOMAN [OVER RADIO.]
: Coast Guard Honolulu.
Go ahead.
I'd like a patch to Officer Dan Williams at the Five-0 headquarters.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Williams.
- Danno? - Yeah, Steve? McGARRETT [OVER PHONE.]
: We found where the killers put ashore.
A mile south of Kawela Bay.
That's a short hike to the Kam Highway.
McGARRETT: Right, and that's probably where they headed.
I want you to call H.
P.
D.
, seal off the highway from Kahuku to Waimea.
Right.
McGARRETT: And set up an immediate search of the entire North Shore area.
Get Chin, Duke, and as many officers as H.
P.
D.
Can spare.
I'll get on it right away, Steve.
[DIALING PHONE.]
But why? Why would they kill my parents? I don't know, Jim.
What happened to your parents, though, fits a pattern.
In the past year, four offshore yachts have been hijacked for use in smuggling Asian heroin into the islands.
Not once has a witness been left behind alive.
Yeah, but my father called over the radio.
He was okay then.
He was probably forced to make that call.
What do you know about the three men your parents signed on to crew for them? Uh, very little.
I never met them.
My parents told me they were young.
Just out of the merchant marine, and they seemed to be very good sailors.
What are you doing about finding them? We have an all-points bulletin out on them.
All highways leading from the North Shore are blocked.
Nobody can get through.
We'll let you know as soon as anything develops.
All right.
[JIM SIGHS.]
- Thank you.
- Thanks for coming in, Jim.
- Please get them, Mr.
McGarrett.
- Yeah.
I'm not looking for vengeance.
I just don't wanna see anyone else hurt.
We'll get them.
[CHARLIE, BAMA & ELDON SINGING.]
It's really nice to work with you again, Officer Williams.
Since we're a team for a while, why don't we make it Sandi and Dan? Okay, Dan.
Um, did Mr.
McGarrett request me for this assignment? - You mean personally? - Mm-hm.
Sorry, Sandi, I'm afraid you were just part of a package deal.
Oh, well, heh.
I guess I'm just suffering through some kind of identity crisis.
[BOTH SPEAKING IN CHINESE.]
Oh.
What do we have here, Chin? He wanted to sit in your chair.
McGARRETT: Oh, good, good, let him.
[SPEAKS IN CHINESE.]
We may have something, Steve.
The old man picked up three hitchhikers on the North Shore yesterday and dropped them off at Kapolei Road, near the university turnoff.
What brought him to us? Says his son heard about the hijackers on the news.
Was he able to give you descriptions? Yeah, one had a beard.
Otherwise, all Caucasians look alike to him.
[CHIN HO CHUCKLES.]
Has H.
P.
D.
Been notified? Yeah, they dropped a net over the whole area.
So far, they've drawn a blank.
[McGARRETT SIGHS.]
McGARRETT: Which means we still have all zeros on our scoreboard.
Take him to your office.
Any scrap of information you can come up with would be helpful.
All right.
[FARMER SPEAKS IN CHINESE.]
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Kapolei Road, university cutoff.
- Not much of a pattern.
There are four marinas within a few miles of where they were dropped off.
That's a lot of boats to choose from, Steve.
That's if they chose a boat.
- Looks like we got us a boat.
- Look at it, Charlie.
ELDON: When are we gonna do it? Well, we wanna wait till they finish loading up the supplies for us.
- Don't we? Huh? - Right, right, right.
Come on, let's take a walk.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
DANNY: Yeah, Steve? - Danno.
I want two-man teams assigned to every marina.
If the hijackers surface and try to sign on any boat leaving the islands, I wanna be the first one to know about it.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
If we can - McGarrett.
MALIA: Long-distance call from Chief Inspector Quincy in Hong Kong.
- Oh, good, good, put him on, please.
MALIA: Yes, sir.
Philip? How are you? QUINCY [OVER PHONE.]
: I may have something of interest for you.
Good, go ahead.
QUINCY: The context of the conversation was that all systems are still go on a heroin shipment into Honolulu.
Do you know his contact here, who made the call? QUINCY: I had the call traced and came up with a local number for you.
555-8986.
[PEN SCRATCHING.]
Thank you, Philip.
This might be the break we're waiting for.
Aloha.
Danno, check the address that goes with this phone number and arrange for H.
P.
D.
Backup.
We're gonna hit them.
Let's go.
McGarrett to all units, McGarrett to all units.
Take your position.
We're going in.
Sandi? Hi.
I'll take the west end, you take the east.
Okay.
Uh Try not to act too salty in your outfit, Officer Williams.
[MAN LAUGHS.]
MAN [OVER RADIO.]
: All units: Three men answering the description of the 241 suspects reported seen at Okalani Marina.
All units in vicinity respond.
Code 3.
Williams, Five-0, proceeding.
Honey.
Come on inside.
Or I'll blow your face off.
Come on.
Come on.
My, my, will you look what we have here? - Hey, man, where'd she come from? - She was sneaking around topside.
Check her ID.
Nothing here but an old identification card.
"Sandi Welles, Now, I wanna know what you're doing here.
I was just looking for some friends.
I was I was invited to a cocktail party.
Is this the Vista Princess? You know damn well what boat this is.
Well, anyone can make a mistake.
If you'll just take your hand off my throat, I'll be on my way.
Tie her up with the others.
[CHARLIE GRUNTS THEN LAUGHS.]
- Sorry, Officer Williams, false alarm.
- What happened? Three juiced-up local boys tried to play Mutiny on the Bounty with one of the boats.
Say, I hear you got yourself a new partner.
What'd you do with her? Steve, Sandi Welles didn't show up at the briefing this morning.
When did you see her last? Yesterday, about an hour before I split to respond to that false alarm.
Where did you leave her exactly? Checking the east slips at Kaimana Marina.
Have you tried calling her home? Yeah, she didn't show up all night.
Nobody's seen her.
- Malia? MALIA: Yes, sir? Get me Commander Brannen of the Coast Guard, please.
MALIA: Right away.
- Strange.
We checked, Steve.
The only offshore yacht to pull out of Kaimana Marina yesterday was the Sea Sage.
- Any idea what time she pulled out? - We don't know that.
We just don't have the facilities or the personnel to keep an eye on every boat that's running around these islands.
Well This would be her great circle route to Hong Kong.
But if they figure they're being followed, wouldn't they get out of the shipping lanes? Yeah, probably.
Drop down to the south, pick up the trades.
I think we should extend our search pattern of the regular shipping lanes.
- Good idea.
- I've got the Cape Corwin standing by.
- I'm just waiting for word from you.
- Let's go.
You know, missy, if you're still thinking about help a-coming, there won't be any.
We're miles away from where anybody would be looking.
SANDl: I was thinking about how hot it is slaving over this stove for you guys.
Aw.
Maybe in a while, Charlie might let you go swimming.
Hey.
Said you was an airline stewardess.
Supposing I don't buy that? Suppose I'm not selling it.
It happens to be the truth.
Missy, missy, don't you pay Charlie over there no never mind.
He's the product of a broken home, ha, ha.
That's right.
Hell, I was the one that broke it.
You never mind about that.
Just fix the chow, would you? You asked for Spanish omelets.
They take a little longer.
BAMA: Mm.
Hey, missy, don't you forget to put a little dash of this hot sauce on that.
Mm.
Uh, do you mind? What'd you do the toast with, a blowtorch? When you ordered me to fix breakfast, you forgot to ask if I could cook.
Looks fine to me.
You better eat your eggs while they're still hot.
Hellfire, he's having a conniption fit.
SANDl: Unh! - You're a funny lady.
I didn't know how much to put on it.
You wanted the hot sauce.
You do a number like that on me, better learn to dance with it.
- You eat it.
- I don't like omelets.
- Eat it! - Unh.
[COUGHING.]
CHARLIE: You're just starting, lady.
You're just starting.
Come on.
This is Coast Guard 1350.
DANNY [OVER RADIO.]
: Calling Coast Guard Cutter Cape Corwin.
McGarrett.
Yeah, go ahead, Danno.
We're holding the search pattern, Steve.
So far a big fat zero.
Stay with it, Danno.
She's out there somewhere.
All right, now, come on.
Let's go.
- Got them all here.
CHARLIE: Come on, hurry up.
Come on, come on.
All right.
- This is where you fine people get off.
- Off? You didn't expect us to take you all the way to Hong Kong, did you? We wouldn't last 30 minutes in these waters without a raft.
- Oh, yeah? Try it.
- Hey, hey, hey, Charlie? - I got an idea.
- Yeah? Let's flip them for it.
Tails, you get the life raft.
Heads, you're dead.
Ha-ha-ha.
All right.
That sounds fair enough to me.
But as I always said, first things first.
And now the first thing I want you all to do is get off.
Come on.
All right, you're first, you're first.
Get up there, get up there, get up there! You, get over, get over.
- Get over there.
- I hope you sink.
[CHARLIE LAUGHING.]
They're turning around.
What do you figure they're up to? Must be your lucky day, missy.
That old nickel just came up tails.
- Come on, come on.
- Yeah, hey.
- All right.
- Hey, we got a raft.
[SANDI PANTING.]
SANDl: Okay.
- Come on, Sandi.
SANDl: Thank you.
- Ah.
Thank you.
RAMSEY: Oh, I should've known.
SANDl: What? - Coming back like that.
- They punched a hole in it.
SANDl: Oh.
- No, they punched two.
SANDl: They've got to be sick.
Hey, here's some tape.
Maybe we can patch it up with some of this stuff.
It won't last very long once the sun and the seawater get to it.
- Coffee, Steve? - Oh, thank you.
It's starting to leak pretty bad up here.
How much of that tape we got left? MURPHY: That's it, skipper.
I know things don't look too good right now, Miss Welles.
- But if you stop to think about it - It gets worse.
I sure hope he hasn't seen that movie.
Yep, he's still there.
Let's see, yesterday morning I got up, showered.
Didn't have any orange juice.
But that was cool.
You guys know that commercial on television about the fruit punch where the big guy punches out the little guy? So I thought I would make myself some.
So I got a bunch of fresh fruit and I put it in a blender.
But I must have put in too much papaya or something.
It really tasted weird.
And then I got dressed and went down to the station, and Sergeant Matsu said it was gonna be another routine day.
Routine day.
Here I am 24 hours later, floating around in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in a leaky life raft, surrounded by a bunch of sharks who look like they haven't eaten in weeks.
I'm so thirsty, I cannot stand it.
And all I can think of is why did I throw away that lousy punch? Look.
- Hey, hey! - Hey, there's a plane up there.
Yeah, here.
Hey, over here! - Over there, Mike, what is it? - I'm not sure.
Sometimes the sun hitting the water just right makes it glare like that.
Over here! Help! Over here.
Help! Help! - Help! Help! MURPHY: Hey, over here, help! Hey! - They didn't see us.
Ugh.
RAMSEY: Help! Yeah! Help! Let's check it out.
Hey, look.
- Hey! Hey, over here! RAMSEY: Help! Help! SANDl: Over here! We're down here! They've found us.
Can you believe it? They found us.
RAMSEY: Help! Hey, hey! MURPHY: Hey! Over here! Over here! Hey, hey! SANDl: Here! MURPHY: Over here! Yeah, here, here! SANDl: No, over here! DANNY [OVER RADIO.]
: Come in, Steve.
Yeah, Danno, go ahead.
We've spotted the raft, Steve.
Sandi's aboard with three men.
DANNY: The raft is taking on a lot of water.
What's your position? What grid are you in? I got a cutoff, Danno.
Can you come in? Please repeat.
What is your position? What grid are you in? DANNY: Grid 27, Quadrant 9.
- Thank you.
There she is, Steve.
[DISCO MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO.]
BRANNEN: How long ago did they put you over the side? I'd say a little over four hours.
BRANNEN: Well, they can't have gone too far.
Steve? I'll have the plane keep on searching this general course.
Good.
Oh.
- Are you all right? - Yes, yeah.
[SHIVERING.]
I guess I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar.
- What happened? - Well, I was down at the marina, and I spotted a man who fit the description of the hijackers.
So I followed him to his boat.
And he was.
What about weapons? How are they armed? Uh, the one man, Charlie, had an automatic rifle.
The other two had handguns.
Would you like something warm to drink? Oh, would I.
- Good, come on.
- Okay.
ELDON: Charlie, she ain't just buzzing around our heads for nothing.
CHARLIE: Been following us for two hours.
Can't stay up there forever.
Soon as she runs out of gas, we'll change course, 220 southwest.
Charlie, look.
CHARLIE: Hey.
[GUN COCKS.]
Sea Sage, this is McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
Stand by to be boarded.
- Heave to, come about.
CHARLIE: Go to hell! This is the final warning.
Heave to.
Throw down your weapons.
We are sending a boarding party.
[GUNFIRE.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GUNFIRE.]
Everyone take cover.
Open fire.
[GUNFIRE.]
Hands up.
Throw down your weapons.
Uh, if you fellas are gonna be around for supper, I'll be happy to cook it for you.
Take them below and lock them up.
SANDl: Mr.
McGarrett? - I'm really embarrassed.
- About what? Well, as you know, it's a cardinal sin for a police officer to lose his badge.
His badge? Mine.
But it was intentional.
I didn't want them to know I was a police officer.
I see.
Well, under the circumstances, I'm sure we can arrange to get you another one.
What's your number?
