Hawaii Five-O (1968) s09e12 Episode Script
Target -- a Cop
Don't make it any easier for the sniper than it already is.
Now, he plans well and he shoots even better.
He's using a rifle with a night scope, probably a starlight.
Make yourselves vulnerable, and he'll nail you.
DANNY: How is he? OFFICER: Alive.
[OVER RADIO.]
We have the guy who killed Ichiro and Mifune.
Sure you do, pally.
We're gonna need two H.
P.
D.
Uniforms, one for Danno, and one for me.
If that complaint turns out to be from the sniper, you're a dead man, Steve.
McGARRETT: We set the trap, we'll be the bait.
MAN: Yes.
I'd like to report a fire.
It's behind the office in the alley.
Same place as last week.
It's in the rubbish bin.
It's right off of Chaplain Lane.
When are you gonna clean that grill, Matt? Christmas, whether it needs it or not.
WOMAN [OVER RADIO.]
: Delta 12.
Trash fire in alley behind Chaplain Lane.
Hey, the indigestion's free.
Buy some grill cleaner.
What are you, Ralph Nader? Delta 12.
Ten-four.
[POLICE SIREN WAILING.]
- How'd it start? - Kids probably.
We'll have it out in a moment.
[GUNSHOT.]
That's gotta be 150 yards anyway.
DANNY: And at night.
How are we doing, captain? I don't know with this.
Anyone got any guesses why he shot from here? Good angle down the alley.
Elevator next door.
Do we have a medical report yet? Just a preliminary, small-caliber slug that shattered on impact.
A hot load or hollow point.
Steve, an office window was left open at the other end of this floor, right over the trash bin.
The door was jimmied with a knife.
Good, Chin.
See what else you can come up with.
The sniper could've started the fire, moved to this office for a better angle, and so the firemen couldn't see him.
He knew that squad cars follow up fires.
But could he have known which individual police officer would answer the call? No, he couldn't.
Not here.
We're at the intersection of three patrol districts.
Any of three cars could've responded.
And we've had a few trash fires lately.
The kids like to watch the trucks roll.
If it was a thrill killing, wouldn't he have shot at the firemen too? I'm afraid he wanted a cop, captain.
- What else, Danno? - Just, uh, footprints but two sets.
They probably belong to the painters who have been working here.
Well, what about over here where the sniper stood? - Anything? DANNY: Nope.
Nothing.
He probably stood on this drop cloth.
[SIGHS.]
Meticulous fellow.
Lots of muscle too, Steve.
Try to raise that window.
McGARRETT: Mm-hm.
Well, he's no pussycat.
Keep the size and power of that guy in mind, Danno, when you put it through the computer.
I want a readout.
Underground groups, revolutionaries, juvenile gangs, hit men, psychos, the works.
I know.
I know, the list is long.
- Take a week.
- Better not take a week.
Chin will give you a hand.
Then it'll take two weeks.
[CHUCKLES.]
If the shooter didn't want Officer Ichiro in particular, I'm afraid that some guy or some group has declared war on the police department, captain.
[GRUNTING AND SHOUTING.]
[LAUGHS.]
PURDY: Got it, got it.
MAN: Yeah.
Ah, so.
Whoo.
Play it rough.
All right.
Got it.
You gotta do me a favor though.
Take a little steam off those passes.
They're getting a little hot to handle for me.
- You got it.
- Let's get out of here.
What's happening? Hey, Tim, what's going on? Not a lot.
Not a lot, you know.
You know, uh, sarge learned how to throw them passes throwing grenades at the Viet Cong.
Yeah, yeah, just killing time.
Go get your welfare check, Bob.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Take it easy, sarge.
- Alrighty.
Hey, uh, you better watch your step, pal.
The pros are gonna be knocking your door down if you ain't careful.
Oh, yeah.
You can help negotiate my contract.
Yeah, yeah.
Tim, what's with the long sleeves, huh? I mean, you are a bust.
Thought you were off the stuff, huh? Well, yeah, you know, I'm down to meth.
But, uh, I got the shorts again.
- Oh, you got the shorts again? - Yeah.
Here, here.
You know, that's a hundred bucks you owe me, you know? Wonder when the tide's gonna go out.
Well, at that hi-fi shop where you work, they buy used stuff, don't they? Sure do.
Well, I'll bring you some.
No, really, I'll bring you enough to get my watch back, and enough to get us square.
Yeah, sure.
Here, put this in the trunk for me.
[GRUNTS.]
Hey, what kind of guitar is this you got? Is this a Martin? Yeah, it's one of the best.
Leave it alone.
Come on, shut the trunk.
Let's go.
Honolulu Police Department.
MAN [OVER PHONE.]
: They're doing it again.
- What are they doing, sir? MAN: Skateboarding.
Dozens of them.
Right under my window.
SARAH [OVER RADIO.]
: Three-seven.
Complaint of noisy skateboarders behind condominium at 8809 Liakua Street.
OFFICER [OVER RADIO.]
: Three-seven.
Ten-four.
Yes, indeed.
Sic them, crime crushers.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Hey, now, George.
Oh, what a pleasant surprise.
What's happening? - Thank you, sarge.
- Ha, ha.
Oh, ha.
You're gonna come down on me for that, huh? Well, posing as a war veteran's a violation of your parole.
Uh People hire ex-Marines, they don't hire ex-cons.
True? Well, just don't build yourself up into some big hero, hey.
Oh, big hero.
My bed's made, my shoes are shined.
What happened to the.
38? Police slug they dug out of your spine.
You used to keep it in this.
Now, I'm sure you're not gonna believe this, but I got drunk one night and I ate it.
I thought it was a beer nut, huh? Oh, come on, George, I'm long past that.
I'm into living now.
I'm on my way.
Yeah.
So I hear.
Your know, your basketball prowess made the Sunday papers.
You're a regular Jerry Lucas on wheels.
Yeah.
You know, I'm getting a tingling sensation in my left leg.
They said, if things go right, uh, you know, my legs will be as strong as my arms.
Did Dr.
Reston say that? Yeah.
He sent my x-rays to some specialists at Queens Hospital.
They're doctors that get guys like myself back on their feet.
Well, it's something to work for, Purdy, if the doctors are for it.
Lf? Oh, you're so inspiring.
And what's Tim Ryder? Oh, he's just a hype.
He's drying out.
You know, l I give him some money once in a while to buy some methadone.
He's already selling the methadone he gets from the clinic, and he's got a record.
Shut him off, sarge.
You know, your visits have a very therapeutic effect on me, Mr.
Atwater.
Like a root canal.
You're doing okay, Purdy.
Just clean up your act.
SARAH [ON RADIO.]
: Echo 2.
Need a ten-six on that accident.
MAN: Just a little bumper tag ten-eight.
Honolulu Police Department.
WOMAN [OVER PHONE.]
: There's something at my window.
Your address, please? A scratching sound, like, um, long fingernails clawing.
Is someone there? No, I'm alone.
Is there someone at the window? I'm afraid to look any closer.
Could be the wind.
[GASPS.]
Might be that prowler.
Romeo 41.
Possible prowler at 2809 Lanikai.
OFFICER: Romeo 41.
I'm only a few blocks away from there.
Ten-four.
Your nearest backup is on a ten-14.
OFFICER: Negative on the backup.
That's, uh, Mrs.
Pelcher with some chocolate brownies.
Her social security check must have come today.
Get her recipe.
PELCHER: Be careful of the new plants.
No signs of anyone, Mrs.
Pelcher.
Well, there was a strange noise at my window.
Ooh.
Gave me the willies.
And that's Ms.
Pelcher.
I smell something.
Brownies? Aha.
There's some bloodhound in you, Mr.
Mifune.
You're gonna be a detective one day.
- Ha, ha.
- Come.
MIFUNE [OVER RADIO.]
: Romeo 41 with ten-eight on the primo brownies.
What about the recipe, Romeo? MIFUNE: They're made from scratch.
And if you stop by, she'll give you the full instructions and some fine coffee.
SARAH: I just might.
Isn't that sweet? No job too small for the H.
P.
D.
CHE FONG: Probably looked something like this.
The ingredients are all ordinary household materials.
Nothing traceable.
You mean, a Molotov cocktail to start a trash fire? Ichiro was set up, pure and simple.
But we still don't know the why of it.
Why the sniper shot, and why now.
Ambush is in style on the mainland.
Yeah.
That's what I'm afraid of, captain.
The trend may be moving west.
If it was an underground revolutionary group, they would've taken credit for the kill by now.
Captain.
Let's go into a prevent defense.
Two men in every squad car.
Reinforce them with a hot squad in unmarked cars.
Now, I have a hunch that our sniper is a loner.
With two men in every squad unit, he can't count on disabling them both.
- Not if they're care - Hold it, Steve.
You're talking about several thousand dollars extra to cover the same patrol area.
Do you remember how much trouble we had trying to get a raise? You bet I remember.
I'm all for it.
My men would love nothing more.
- But how do I justify the expense? - I'll talk to the council.
I'll talk to the mayor.
Get you some extra dough.
You can tell your watch commander to start tonight.
You must have a major credit card.
Tad? Captain Sukai.
Get out the reserve list.
All patrol units go out with two men tonight, and unmarked cars for backup.
I know.
But McGarrett says he can cut some money loose for us.
I'll tell him.
My lieutenant says, "Bless you.
" And he'll send you the bill.
I heard that, lieutenant.
This man knifed a detective.
Name's Hardecheck.
Strictly a blade man.
Yeah, too small anyway.
Nathan Purdy, wounded in a bank shoot-out.
You know him? He's on parole.
No, but it says that he's a paraplegic.
Oh, yeah.
Greg Liddle, he's inside.
Ah, it's a beautiful night, Stonewall.
The trades are up.
[HUMMING.]
[SCRATCHING ON WINDOW.]
[WHISPERING.]
This is Mrs.
Pelcher at 2809 Lanikai.
Which window, Mrs.
Pelcher? All right, stay on the phone while I call a car, please.
Romeo 41.
Prowler at 2809 Lanikai.
Suspect on the west side of the house.
She sounds really scared, Jack.
MIFUNE: Romeo 41, ten-four.
On our way.
He's not at the window now.
I don't know where he went.
Turn on all your lights, Mrs.
Pelcher, all of them.
The front one first.
Yeah.
MIFUNE: My partner's around back, Mrs.
Pelcher, so don't be alarmed if you hear PELCHER: There was a man, officer.
[PELCHER SCREAMS.]
Oh, my God.
Come on, sweetheart.
[GUNSHOT.]
Gotcha.
CARTWRIGHT: Ten-15.
Ten-15.
Romeo 41.
Mifune down, condition C.
A setup.
We need an ambulance fast.
[POLICE SIREN WAILING.]
I can't tell you what he looked like.
But you can be positive, there was a prowler at my window last night.
As true as I'm sitting here.
I have no doubts about that, Mrs.
Pelcher.
How's Cartwright doing? Better.
They're putting his hip back together with pins.
They found a whole slug in Mifune.
May have something for ballistics.
How is dear Mr.
Mifune? He died early this morning, ma'am.
[WHIMPERS.]
How horrible.
He was so nice to me.
McGARRETT: Sorry.
CHIN HO: Dirt's too soft to hold footprints, Steve.
McGARRETT: Well.
It held these wheel marks, though, if that's what they are.
Steve.
There's your wheel marks.
Yeah, I guess so.
You may wanna talk to Sarah Hale, our dispatch operator.
She said Mrs.
Pelcher was pretty scared.
More than on her other prowler calls.
Oh, I'm convinced that Mrs.
Pelcher had a real prowler.
What bothers me is how the sniper knew she had called in previously.
Now, when Officer Ichiro was murdered, he could have read about those trash fires in the newspaper, but not this.
Could be using a scanner.
That's what I'm afraid of, Danno.
Captain, let's tape record everything from now on.
The telephone calls to H.
P.
D.
As well as the radio talk.
And, uh, I'd like to have the dispatch tapes for the last couple of weeks sent over to my office.
SUKAl: Will do.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
What's happening? What's in the box, goose? One FM tuner.
Just hold your applause until the end of the show.
Santa's bag is deep.
And all I want out of it, it is my watch back and, uh, you know, maybe a stray 20 if you're in the mood.
I got some bad news for you, Timmy boy.
This is pre-stereo, with somebody's social security number on the back.
This junk here would cost 20 bucks to make it worth 10.
What is this garbage you're laying on me? What are you talking about? This stuff's worth a few hundred bucks.
Come on.
This here, you can buy it for 20 bucks at a discount store, brand new.
Get this junk out of here, man.
What are you giving me? Nothing.
Uh, where's my watch? I lost your watch.
Lost it? Well, you better find it, buddy.
I'll find it, buddy.
And you better find yourself a new bank.
My parole officer told me you've been stroking me, pal.
I am cutting you off.
You didn't tell him how I was your orderly in the prison hospital, did you? You didn't tell him how I wheeled your fat duff around for about six months after some rookie cop put a.
38 slug up your spine.
You didn't tell him that, did you, war hero? Bug off, pal.
Some war hero.
Shot in the back, running away.
And your basketball buddies, they'd laugh for a week if they knew that the only action their war hero ever saw was some funky bank robbery.
[GROANS.]
The only thing you got out of it was a wheelchair.
Uh-huh.
Okay, sonny boy.
You've just bought the farm.
CLAYBOURNE: Everybody got your hot sheets? Okay, now we're still on two-man cars, and we got some new lightweight flak vests for those of you who wanna carry them around.
You won't sweat so much in these, and no one's gonna question that you're studs.
Now, when you go out there, use every brain cell you've got.
Every damn one of you is a target.
This man over here, if you haven't met him, is Steve McGarrett, head of Five-0.
- Steve? - Thank you, sergeant.
I would just like to second the motion of your watch commander here.
Don't make it any easier for the sniper than it already is.
He's using a rifle with a night scope, we think.
Probably a starlight.
Which means that he can see you clearly from 150 yards.
Now, he plans well and he shoots even better.
He's fired three rounds so far.
He's put two in the ten-ring and one in the four.
Make yourselves vulnerable, and he'll nail you.
OFFICER: Sir? Are you saying that Officers Ichiro and Mifune made some mistakes? No.
No, I'm saying that there is no friendly territory anymore.
Not until we nail this sniper.
You must avoid making yourselves vulnerable, no matter where you patrol tonight.
Just what do you suggest, Mr.
McGarrett? I suggest you remember three words on every call: Ichiro, Mifune and Cartwright.
That's good leather.
They don't make them like that anymore.
Yeah.
Wait till you see what's inside.
That's some guitar.
Yeah, you know it.
How much? Six hundred bucks, if that's the kind of scope I think it is.
Uh There's some kind of mix-up.
Um, I had a party last night.
Uh, somebody's got my guitar.
- Quite a party.
- Yeah.
If you can't find your guitar, you got the better end of the deal.
I'll give you 800.
Uh, no, I can't.
It's not mine, really.
Uh Hello? Is Duke there? SARAH [ON RECORDING.]
: Alpha 2.
Alpha 2.
Give me a ten-six on that.
Romeo 41.
Prowler at 2809 Lanikai.
Suspect at the west side of the house.
She's really scared, Jack.
DANNY: Steve.
MIFUNE: Romeo 41, ten-four.
- Yeah, Danno.
DANNY: We were due for a break.
An old man found this watch, hanging on a bush, across the street from the Pelcher house.
- Was it running when he found it? - Yeah.
And he remembers hearing a car pull away minutes after Mifune and Cartwright were ambushed.
His house is behind the driveway where we found a spent shell.
"First Marines, Tim Ryder, H Battery, Third Battalion.
" Artillery spotters were issued starlight scopes when they were doing forward observation.
I requested a C and C from Washington and the Marine Corps is pulling a stat on his file.
What about a driver's license on this bird? Stale address, YMCA.
There were paint spots on the watch crystal.
Che scraped them for analysis.
Paint spots.
Steve, we're on our way to Oni's pawn shop on Hotel Street.
A doper brought in a rifle with a night scope in a guitar case.
Changed his mind and ran.
No license number.
Get over there fast.
On it.
Danno, I've been going over these tapes.
After he hears two or three legitimate calls, our sniper instigates his own from the same address.
He knows that they won't send a second car backup, because it's not dangerous.
If he's picking up our callbacks, he's monitoring us with a good scanner.
Yeah, which means he hears everything.
Everything, even our stakeouts.
We can't change the channels.
How do we shut him out? We don't shut him out.
Do you remember a poem by Edwin Markham? He drew a circle that shut me out Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout But good and I had a wit to win We drew a circle, and took him in That's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna take him in.
We're gonna create our own setup.
- You mean two or three fake calls? - Right.
At an address we like, with enough manpower to bottle him up.
- Might work.
- If I know that mentality, it will work.
ONl: When he saw what he had in the guitar case, he couldn't get out of here fast enough.
And he wanted me to believe that it wasn't his.
You think it was his? You know these heavy dopesters, they steal so much, they don't know what they got.
You're sure it was a rifle with a night scope? Yeah, it's a gun that looks like Flash Gordon invented.
And the, uh, scope had a battery attachment.
What make you think he was a dope addict? The long sleeves, fidgety, drove an old beat-up car.
Sorry about the license plate number.
If you'd like I could come downtown and give your artist a pretty good description.
We could use it, Oni.
Hey, Purdy, get in here.
I'm having trouble with these guys.
Aw, not today, bro.
Have you seen Tim? Try down Hotel Street.
MAN: It's open, Sweets.
Come on in.
Sweets? - He must mean you.
- Ha-ha-ha.
Who is Sweets? Oh.
Sorry, Mr.
McGarrett, but a couple of stewardesses helped us move in.
You guys aren't supposed to be having too much fun on this detail.
Excuse me, sir, I don't even understand what this detail is about.
MacDougall says all we have to do is create some disturbance with the hi-fi? That's right.
We'll turn in three or four complaints about your loud music.
Dispatch will send out a patrol unit each time.
And hopefully Hopefully, the sniper will tune in and use this place for another attack.
Suppose he doesn't buy it? Well, then we'll try a different type of complaint.
But, uh, I have absolute faith in your ability to create a disturbance.
[CHUCKLES.]
This should do it.
McGARRETT: Are they our guys in that wagon out there? MacDOUGALL: Yes, sir.
Got the whole area covered.
I'm wondering if we need this setup, Steve.
We got a good description of Ryder, and we got an APB out on him.
Yeah, it's possible he's our man, Danno.
But two police officers are dead, and a third is almost crippled.
And it may be a while yet before we pick him up.
I just can't see how a heroin addict like Ryder can qualify for that sort of precision rifle work.
Now, we're dealing with a guy who's turned cop killing into a science.
Now, are you ready, Sweets? Yes, sir.
Captain Sukai, please.
Captain? McGarrett.
I think we're all set on this end.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Okay, give us time to get downstairs, and then, uh, wake the dead.
Let's go, Danno.
Put this on the radio just as you would any other call, then repeat it in 20 minutes, okay? Bravo 22.
Complaint of noisy hi-fi at Manaluan Apartments, Hawaii Kai.
[OVER RADIO.]
Inquire within.
BLANKENSHIP: Bravo 22.
Ten-four.
Ten, 15, 25.
And if you find your guitar, stop by.
We may still have this for you.
SARAH [ON RADIO.]
: Eyes blue, hair brown.
Drug addict.
Wanted for questioning on a 701.
Consider armed and dangerous.
MAN [ON RADIO.]
: Delta 6, dispatch.
Is this Ryder wanted on the killing of Ichiro and Mifune? SARAH: Ten-four, Delta 6.
How stupid can you get, pally? Malga and Punchbowl.
Have we heard anything from Che on that whole slug I got out of Mifune? No, Steve, nothing new on the weapon either.
Malga on Punchbowl, driving a yellow '68 Cougar.
[OVER RADIO.]
Plates, 5-Bravo-8-0-0-0.
Five-01, dispatch.
We can intercept at H1 Freeway.
[POLICE SIREN WAILING.]
McGARRETT: How is he? - He's still alive.
McGARRETT: Get an ambulance and a mobile lab out here.
Look at this, Danno.
We got a ten-ten on the H1, Halawa Heights off ramp.
[ON RADIO.]
And we need a mobile lab.
It's the 701 suspect, Tim Ryder.
SARAH [ON RADIO.]
: Ambulance and lab are rolling.
SUKAl: This is Captain Sukai requesting a ten-six on the suspect.
OFFICER: It looks like he's bought it, captain.
I think we have the guy who killed Ichiro and Mifune.
Yeah.
Sure you do, pally.
Right, thanks.
Ryder's condition is unstable.
They don't know when he'll regain consciousness, if ever.
Do we have any kind of address on him? Nope.
He probably lived out of that car.
Steve, got his Marine personnel file.
He was a forward observer in Vietnam, a good one too.
Decorated twice, wounded twice at the siege of Pleiku.
Expert rifleman.
No psychiatric disorders.
Honorably discharged.
What could that tell us? He turned on to drugs, maybe.
Couldn't adjust.
I had some doubts too.
But Ryder's watch was found a block from the setup on Mifune and Cartwright.
Now, it isn't as though we were trying to frame him.
I know, the evidence is knee-deep, but I just can't accept the fact that a junkie could shoot that well.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Yeah? It's for you, Che Fong.
Yeah, Che, what do you got? Are you sure? Yeah.
Yeah, I've got him.
Thank you.
Ryder's prints were all over the rifle, it fired the slug taken from Mifune's body, and the paint on that watch crystal puts him in the office the night Ichiro was killed.
I would say that clinches it.
I'm on my way to roll call.
Anything to tell the men? SUKAl: Yeah.
Tell them to go on one-man patrols as of now.
You must have quite a bit on this Ryder cat.
Enough to sustain a conviction, and relax a little.
We'll relax only a little, captain.
The hearts and minds of the criminal community do not change overnight.
MacDougall? Party's over.
We've got our sniper in the jail ward at Queens Hospital.
- Glad to hear that, sir.
SUKAl: You're not the only one.
Tell everyone to pack it in and come on downtown.
You're going back to work.
MacDOUGALL: We're on our way.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING ON CAR STEREO.]
SARAH: Honolulu Police Department.
Your address, sir? We'll send a car as soon as one is available.
Lunch is on me, gentlemen.
It's the least I can do after putting you through all that paperwork.
McGARRETT: You gonna spring? [PHONE RINGING.]
- Yes.
SARAH: A man just called this in.
Complaint of a noisy hi-fi in the Manaluan Apartments in Hawaii-Kai.
- Inquire within.
- Manaluan? That's where we had the stakeout team.
But I relieved them.
I called off the stakeout.
That complaint couldn't have come because of them.
Uh, this is McGarrett.
Exactly what did the man say? He lives in the Manaluan Apartments, hasn't been able to sleep, because of a loud hi-fi that was on all night.
You know, by some screwy coincidence, this could be legitimate.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Uh, which patrol unit would take that call? Uh, Bravo 22.
Uh, Officer Blankenship.
He's just going on duty now.
Hold him.
Hold him, please.
Captain, we're gonna need two H.
P.
D.
Uniforms, one for Danno, and one for me.
Uniforms? If that complaint turns out to be from the sniper, you're a dead man, Steve.
We set the trap, we'll be the bait.
OFFICER: I heard where you're going.
Good luck.
McGARRETT: What's that? It's my rabbit's foot.
You might need it.
Yeah, I might.
Thank you.
SUKAl: Steve, wait a minute.
I can flood that area with 20 cars, seal it off.
Now, why take chances? We don't know what this cat looks like.
If a bunch of cars roar in, he'll just dump the weapon and take off.
No.
No, thank you.
I'll give you 15 minutes after you're on location.
If I don't hear from you, we're coming in.
SARAH [ON RADIO.]
: Bravo 22.
Complaint of a noisy hi-fi in garage at Manaluan Apartments, Hawaii-Kai.
Inquire within.
Little different from cruising in an unmarked car, isn't it? Yeah.
I feel as though we're riding in a billboard advertising "cop.
" Everybody knows exactly who we are before we can even see them.
And somebody said that cops are overpaid.
The Manaluan is around the next corner, Danno, get ready.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING LOUDLY ON CAR STEREO.]
Bravo 22 on location.
Investigating.
Hey.
Now, it's about time.
What'd you do? Stop for a beer or something? I can imagine if it was a rape or a robbery or something, it'd be over by now, huh? Are you the tenant that complained about the noise? Damn right, I am.
Get these bad migraine headaches from this war injury.
- I can live without this racket.
- We'll take care of it.
You'll find that the doors are locked.
You'll have to go in through the sunroof.
We'll handle it.
Legit call, huh? Looks that way.
[SHOUTS.]
[GUNFIRE.]
Oh.
This is the sniper? It sure was.
Surprise, huh? Two in the ten-ring.
Not too bad, sir.
Considering how vulnerable you were.
Thanks for the use of your rabbit's foot.
I needed it.
Now, he plans well and he shoots even better.
He's using a rifle with a night scope, probably a starlight.
Make yourselves vulnerable, and he'll nail you.
DANNY: How is he? OFFICER: Alive.
[OVER RADIO.]
We have the guy who killed Ichiro and Mifune.
Sure you do, pally.
We're gonna need two H.
P.
D.
Uniforms, one for Danno, and one for me.
If that complaint turns out to be from the sniper, you're a dead man, Steve.
McGARRETT: We set the trap, we'll be the bait.
MAN: Yes.
I'd like to report a fire.
It's behind the office in the alley.
Same place as last week.
It's in the rubbish bin.
It's right off of Chaplain Lane.
When are you gonna clean that grill, Matt? Christmas, whether it needs it or not.
WOMAN [OVER RADIO.]
: Delta 12.
Trash fire in alley behind Chaplain Lane.
Hey, the indigestion's free.
Buy some grill cleaner.
What are you, Ralph Nader? Delta 12.
Ten-four.
[POLICE SIREN WAILING.]
- How'd it start? - Kids probably.
We'll have it out in a moment.
[GUNSHOT.]
That's gotta be 150 yards anyway.
DANNY: And at night.
How are we doing, captain? I don't know with this.
Anyone got any guesses why he shot from here? Good angle down the alley.
Elevator next door.
Do we have a medical report yet? Just a preliminary, small-caliber slug that shattered on impact.
A hot load or hollow point.
Steve, an office window was left open at the other end of this floor, right over the trash bin.
The door was jimmied with a knife.
Good, Chin.
See what else you can come up with.
The sniper could've started the fire, moved to this office for a better angle, and so the firemen couldn't see him.
He knew that squad cars follow up fires.
But could he have known which individual police officer would answer the call? No, he couldn't.
Not here.
We're at the intersection of three patrol districts.
Any of three cars could've responded.
And we've had a few trash fires lately.
The kids like to watch the trucks roll.
If it was a thrill killing, wouldn't he have shot at the firemen too? I'm afraid he wanted a cop, captain.
- What else, Danno? - Just, uh, footprints but two sets.
They probably belong to the painters who have been working here.
Well, what about over here where the sniper stood? - Anything? DANNY: Nope.
Nothing.
He probably stood on this drop cloth.
[SIGHS.]
Meticulous fellow.
Lots of muscle too, Steve.
Try to raise that window.
McGARRETT: Mm-hm.
Well, he's no pussycat.
Keep the size and power of that guy in mind, Danno, when you put it through the computer.
I want a readout.
Underground groups, revolutionaries, juvenile gangs, hit men, psychos, the works.
I know.
I know, the list is long.
- Take a week.
- Better not take a week.
Chin will give you a hand.
Then it'll take two weeks.
[CHUCKLES.]
If the shooter didn't want Officer Ichiro in particular, I'm afraid that some guy or some group has declared war on the police department, captain.
[GRUNTING AND SHOUTING.]
[LAUGHS.]
PURDY: Got it, got it.
MAN: Yeah.
Ah, so.
Whoo.
Play it rough.
All right.
Got it.
You gotta do me a favor though.
Take a little steam off those passes.
They're getting a little hot to handle for me.
- You got it.
- Let's get out of here.
What's happening? Hey, Tim, what's going on? Not a lot.
Not a lot, you know.
You know, uh, sarge learned how to throw them passes throwing grenades at the Viet Cong.
Yeah, yeah, just killing time.
Go get your welfare check, Bob.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Take it easy, sarge.
- Alrighty.
Hey, uh, you better watch your step, pal.
The pros are gonna be knocking your door down if you ain't careful.
Oh, yeah.
You can help negotiate my contract.
Yeah, yeah.
Tim, what's with the long sleeves, huh? I mean, you are a bust.
Thought you were off the stuff, huh? Well, yeah, you know, I'm down to meth.
But, uh, I got the shorts again.
- Oh, you got the shorts again? - Yeah.
Here, here.
You know, that's a hundred bucks you owe me, you know? Wonder when the tide's gonna go out.
Well, at that hi-fi shop where you work, they buy used stuff, don't they? Sure do.
Well, I'll bring you some.
No, really, I'll bring you enough to get my watch back, and enough to get us square.
Yeah, sure.
Here, put this in the trunk for me.
[GRUNTS.]
Hey, what kind of guitar is this you got? Is this a Martin? Yeah, it's one of the best.
Leave it alone.
Come on, shut the trunk.
Let's go.
Honolulu Police Department.
MAN [OVER PHONE.]
: They're doing it again.
- What are they doing, sir? MAN: Skateboarding.
Dozens of them.
Right under my window.
SARAH [OVER RADIO.]
: Three-seven.
Complaint of noisy skateboarders behind condominium at 8809 Liakua Street.
OFFICER [OVER RADIO.]
: Three-seven.
Ten-four.
Yes, indeed.
Sic them, crime crushers.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Hey, now, George.
Oh, what a pleasant surprise.
What's happening? - Thank you, sarge.
- Ha, ha.
Oh, ha.
You're gonna come down on me for that, huh? Well, posing as a war veteran's a violation of your parole.
Uh People hire ex-Marines, they don't hire ex-cons.
True? Well, just don't build yourself up into some big hero, hey.
Oh, big hero.
My bed's made, my shoes are shined.
What happened to the.
38? Police slug they dug out of your spine.
You used to keep it in this.
Now, I'm sure you're not gonna believe this, but I got drunk one night and I ate it.
I thought it was a beer nut, huh? Oh, come on, George, I'm long past that.
I'm into living now.
I'm on my way.
Yeah.
So I hear.
Your know, your basketball prowess made the Sunday papers.
You're a regular Jerry Lucas on wheels.
Yeah.
You know, I'm getting a tingling sensation in my left leg.
They said, if things go right, uh, you know, my legs will be as strong as my arms.
Did Dr.
Reston say that? Yeah.
He sent my x-rays to some specialists at Queens Hospital.
They're doctors that get guys like myself back on their feet.
Well, it's something to work for, Purdy, if the doctors are for it.
Lf? Oh, you're so inspiring.
And what's Tim Ryder? Oh, he's just a hype.
He's drying out.
You know, l I give him some money once in a while to buy some methadone.
He's already selling the methadone he gets from the clinic, and he's got a record.
Shut him off, sarge.
You know, your visits have a very therapeutic effect on me, Mr.
Atwater.
Like a root canal.
You're doing okay, Purdy.
Just clean up your act.
SARAH [ON RADIO.]
: Echo 2.
Need a ten-six on that accident.
MAN: Just a little bumper tag ten-eight.
Honolulu Police Department.
WOMAN [OVER PHONE.]
: There's something at my window.
Your address, please? A scratching sound, like, um, long fingernails clawing.
Is someone there? No, I'm alone.
Is there someone at the window? I'm afraid to look any closer.
Could be the wind.
[GASPS.]
Might be that prowler.
Romeo 41.
Possible prowler at 2809 Lanikai.
OFFICER: Romeo 41.
I'm only a few blocks away from there.
Ten-four.
Your nearest backup is on a ten-14.
OFFICER: Negative on the backup.
That's, uh, Mrs.
Pelcher with some chocolate brownies.
Her social security check must have come today.
Get her recipe.
PELCHER: Be careful of the new plants.
No signs of anyone, Mrs.
Pelcher.
Well, there was a strange noise at my window.
Ooh.
Gave me the willies.
And that's Ms.
Pelcher.
I smell something.
Brownies? Aha.
There's some bloodhound in you, Mr.
Mifune.
You're gonna be a detective one day.
- Ha, ha.
- Come.
MIFUNE [OVER RADIO.]
: Romeo 41 with ten-eight on the primo brownies.
What about the recipe, Romeo? MIFUNE: They're made from scratch.
And if you stop by, she'll give you the full instructions and some fine coffee.
SARAH: I just might.
Isn't that sweet? No job too small for the H.
P.
D.
CHE FONG: Probably looked something like this.
The ingredients are all ordinary household materials.
Nothing traceable.
You mean, a Molotov cocktail to start a trash fire? Ichiro was set up, pure and simple.
But we still don't know the why of it.
Why the sniper shot, and why now.
Ambush is in style on the mainland.
Yeah.
That's what I'm afraid of, captain.
The trend may be moving west.
If it was an underground revolutionary group, they would've taken credit for the kill by now.
Captain.
Let's go into a prevent defense.
Two men in every squad car.
Reinforce them with a hot squad in unmarked cars.
Now, I have a hunch that our sniper is a loner.
With two men in every squad unit, he can't count on disabling them both.
- Not if they're care - Hold it, Steve.
You're talking about several thousand dollars extra to cover the same patrol area.
Do you remember how much trouble we had trying to get a raise? You bet I remember.
I'm all for it.
My men would love nothing more.
- But how do I justify the expense? - I'll talk to the council.
I'll talk to the mayor.
Get you some extra dough.
You can tell your watch commander to start tonight.
You must have a major credit card.
Tad? Captain Sukai.
Get out the reserve list.
All patrol units go out with two men tonight, and unmarked cars for backup.
I know.
But McGarrett says he can cut some money loose for us.
I'll tell him.
My lieutenant says, "Bless you.
" And he'll send you the bill.
I heard that, lieutenant.
This man knifed a detective.
Name's Hardecheck.
Strictly a blade man.
Yeah, too small anyway.
Nathan Purdy, wounded in a bank shoot-out.
You know him? He's on parole.
No, but it says that he's a paraplegic.
Oh, yeah.
Greg Liddle, he's inside.
Ah, it's a beautiful night, Stonewall.
The trades are up.
[HUMMING.]
[SCRATCHING ON WINDOW.]
[WHISPERING.]
This is Mrs.
Pelcher at 2809 Lanikai.
Which window, Mrs.
Pelcher? All right, stay on the phone while I call a car, please.
Romeo 41.
Prowler at 2809 Lanikai.
Suspect on the west side of the house.
She sounds really scared, Jack.
MIFUNE: Romeo 41, ten-four.
On our way.
He's not at the window now.
I don't know where he went.
Turn on all your lights, Mrs.
Pelcher, all of them.
The front one first.
Yeah.
MIFUNE: My partner's around back, Mrs.
Pelcher, so don't be alarmed if you hear PELCHER: There was a man, officer.
[PELCHER SCREAMS.]
Oh, my God.
Come on, sweetheart.
[GUNSHOT.]
Gotcha.
CARTWRIGHT: Ten-15.
Ten-15.
Romeo 41.
Mifune down, condition C.
A setup.
We need an ambulance fast.
[POLICE SIREN WAILING.]
I can't tell you what he looked like.
But you can be positive, there was a prowler at my window last night.
As true as I'm sitting here.
I have no doubts about that, Mrs.
Pelcher.
How's Cartwright doing? Better.
They're putting his hip back together with pins.
They found a whole slug in Mifune.
May have something for ballistics.
How is dear Mr.
Mifune? He died early this morning, ma'am.
[WHIMPERS.]
How horrible.
He was so nice to me.
McGARRETT: Sorry.
CHIN HO: Dirt's too soft to hold footprints, Steve.
McGARRETT: Well.
It held these wheel marks, though, if that's what they are.
Steve.
There's your wheel marks.
Yeah, I guess so.
You may wanna talk to Sarah Hale, our dispatch operator.
She said Mrs.
Pelcher was pretty scared.
More than on her other prowler calls.
Oh, I'm convinced that Mrs.
Pelcher had a real prowler.
What bothers me is how the sniper knew she had called in previously.
Now, when Officer Ichiro was murdered, he could have read about those trash fires in the newspaper, but not this.
Could be using a scanner.
That's what I'm afraid of, Danno.
Captain, let's tape record everything from now on.
The telephone calls to H.
P.
D.
As well as the radio talk.
And, uh, I'd like to have the dispatch tapes for the last couple of weeks sent over to my office.
SUKAl: Will do.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
What's happening? What's in the box, goose? One FM tuner.
Just hold your applause until the end of the show.
Santa's bag is deep.
And all I want out of it, it is my watch back and, uh, you know, maybe a stray 20 if you're in the mood.
I got some bad news for you, Timmy boy.
This is pre-stereo, with somebody's social security number on the back.
This junk here would cost 20 bucks to make it worth 10.
What is this garbage you're laying on me? What are you talking about? This stuff's worth a few hundred bucks.
Come on.
This here, you can buy it for 20 bucks at a discount store, brand new.
Get this junk out of here, man.
What are you giving me? Nothing.
Uh, where's my watch? I lost your watch.
Lost it? Well, you better find it, buddy.
I'll find it, buddy.
And you better find yourself a new bank.
My parole officer told me you've been stroking me, pal.
I am cutting you off.
You didn't tell him how I was your orderly in the prison hospital, did you? You didn't tell him how I wheeled your fat duff around for about six months after some rookie cop put a.
38 slug up your spine.
You didn't tell him that, did you, war hero? Bug off, pal.
Some war hero.
Shot in the back, running away.
And your basketball buddies, they'd laugh for a week if they knew that the only action their war hero ever saw was some funky bank robbery.
[GROANS.]
The only thing you got out of it was a wheelchair.
Uh-huh.
Okay, sonny boy.
You've just bought the farm.
CLAYBOURNE: Everybody got your hot sheets? Okay, now we're still on two-man cars, and we got some new lightweight flak vests for those of you who wanna carry them around.
You won't sweat so much in these, and no one's gonna question that you're studs.
Now, when you go out there, use every brain cell you've got.
Every damn one of you is a target.
This man over here, if you haven't met him, is Steve McGarrett, head of Five-0.
- Steve? - Thank you, sergeant.
I would just like to second the motion of your watch commander here.
Don't make it any easier for the sniper than it already is.
He's using a rifle with a night scope, we think.
Probably a starlight.
Which means that he can see you clearly from 150 yards.
Now, he plans well and he shoots even better.
He's fired three rounds so far.
He's put two in the ten-ring and one in the four.
Make yourselves vulnerable, and he'll nail you.
OFFICER: Sir? Are you saying that Officers Ichiro and Mifune made some mistakes? No.
No, I'm saying that there is no friendly territory anymore.
Not until we nail this sniper.
You must avoid making yourselves vulnerable, no matter where you patrol tonight.
Just what do you suggest, Mr.
McGarrett? I suggest you remember three words on every call: Ichiro, Mifune and Cartwright.
That's good leather.
They don't make them like that anymore.
Yeah.
Wait till you see what's inside.
That's some guitar.
Yeah, you know it.
How much? Six hundred bucks, if that's the kind of scope I think it is.
Uh There's some kind of mix-up.
Um, I had a party last night.
Uh, somebody's got my guitar.
- Quite a party.
- Yeah.
If you can't find your guitar, you got the better end of the deal.
I'll give you 800.
Uh, no, I can't.
It's not mine, really.
Uh Hello? Is Duke there? SARAH [ON RECORDING.]
: Alpha 2.
Alpha 2.
Give me a ten-six on that.
Romeo 41.
Prowler at 2809 Lanikai.
Suspect at the west side of the house.
She's really scared, Jack.
DANNY: Steve.
MIFUNE: Romeo 41, ten-four.
- Yeah, Danno.
DANNY: We were due for a break.
An old man found this watch, hanging on a bush, across the street from the Pelcher house.
- Was it running when he found it? - Yeah.
And he remembers hearing a car pull away minutes after Mifune and Cartwright were ambushed.
His house is behind the driveway where we found a spent shell.
"First Marines, Tim Ryder, H Battery, Third Battalion.
" Artillery spotters were issued starlight scopes when they were doing forward observation.
I requested a C and C from Washington and the Marine Corps is pulling a stat on his file.
What about a driver's license on this bird? Stale address, YMCA.
There were paint spots on the watch crystal.
Che scraped them for analysis.
Paint spots.
Steve, we're on our way to Oni's pawn shop on Hotel Street.
A doper brought in a rifle with a night scope in a guitar case.
Changed his mind and ran.
No license number.
Get over there fast.
On it.
Danno, I've been going over these tapes.
After he hears two or three legitimate calls, our sniper instigates his own from the same address.
He knows that they won't send a second car backup, because it's not dangerous.
If he's picking up our callbacks, he's monitoring us with a good scanner.
Yeah, which means he hears everything.
Everything, even our stakeouts.
We can't change the channels.
How do we shut him out? We don't shut him out.
Do you remember a poem by Edwin Markham? He drew a circle that shut me out Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout But good and I had a wit to win We drew a circle, and took him in That's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna take him in.
We're gonna create our own setup.
- You mean two or three fake calls? - Right.
At an address we like, with enough manpower to bottle him up.
- Might work.
- If I know that mentality, it will work.
ONl: When he saw what he had in the guitar case, he couldn't get out of here fast enough.
And he wanted me to believe that it wasn't his.
You think it was his? You know these heavy dopesters, they steal so much, they don't know what they got.
You're sure it was a rifle with a night scope? Yeah, it's a gun that looks like Flash Gordon invented.
And the, uh, scope had a battery attachment.
What make you think he was a dope addict? The long sleeves, fidgety, drove an old beat-up car.
Sorry about the license plate number.
If you'd like I could come downtown and give your artist a pretty good description.
We could use it, Oni.
Hey, Purdy, get in here.
I'm having trouble with these guys.
Aw, not today, bro.
Have you seen Tim? Try down Hotel Street.
MAN: It's open, Sweets.
Come on in.
Sweets? - He must mean you.
- Ha-ha-ha.
Who is Sweets? Oh.
Sorry, Mr.
McGarrett, but a couple of stewardesses helped us move in.
You guys aren't supposed to be having too much fun on this detail.
Excuse me, sir, I don't even understand what this detail is about.
MacDougall says all we have to do is create some disturbance with the hi-fi? That's right.
We'll turn in three or four complaints about your loud music.
Dispatch will send out a patrol unit each time.
And hopefully Hopefully, the sniper will tune in and use this place for another attack.
Suppose he doesn't buy it? Well, then we'll try a different type of complaint.
But, uh, I have absolute faith in your ability to create a disturbance.
[CHUCKLES.]
This should do it.
McGARRETT: Are they our guys in that wagon out there? MacDOUGALL: Yes, sir.
Got the whole area covered.
I'm wondering if we need this setup, Steve.
We got a good description of Ryder, and we got an APB out on him.
Yeah, it's possible he's our man, Danno.
But two police officers are dead, and a third is almost crippled.
And it may be a while yet before we pick him up.
I just can't see how a heroin addict like Ryder can qualify for that sort of precision rifle work.
Now, we're dealing with a guy who's turned cop killing into a science.
Now, are you ready, Sweets? Yes, sir.
Captain Sukai, please.
Captain? McGarrett.
I think we're all set on this end.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Okay, give us time to get downstairs, and then, uh, wake the dead.
Let's go, Danno.
Put this on the radio just as you would any other call, then repeat it in 20 minutes, okay? Bravo 22.

: Delta 6, dispatch.
Is this Ryder wanted on the killing of Ichiro and Mifune? SARAH: Ten-four, Delta 6.
How stupid can you get, pally? Malga and Punchbowl.
Have we heard anything from Che on that whole slug I got out of Mifune? No, Steve, nothing new on the weapon either.
Malga on Punchbowl, driving a yellow '68 Cougar.

Five-01, dispatch.
We can intercept at H1 Freeway.
[POLICE SIREN WAILING.]
McGARRETT: How is he? - He's still alive.
McGARRETT: Get an ambulance and a mobile lab out here.
Look at this, Danno.
We got a ten-ten on the H1, Halawa Heights off ramp.
[ON RADIO.]
And we need a mobile lab.
It's the 701 suspect, Tim Ryder.
SARAH [ON RADIO.]
: Ambulance and lab are rolling.
SUKAl: This is Captain Sukai requesting a ten-six on the suspect.
OFFICER: It looks like he's bought it, captain.
I think we have the guy who killed Ichiro and Mifune.
Yeah.
Sure you do, pally.
Right, thanks.
Ryder's condition is unstable.
They don't know when he'll regain consciousness, if ever.
Do we have any kind of address on him? Nope.
He probably lived out of that car.
Steve, got his Marine personnel file.
He was a forward observer in Vietnam, a good one too.
Decorated twice, wounded twice at the siege of Pleiku.
Expert rifleman.
No psychiatric disorders.
Honorably discharged.
What could that tell us? He turned on to drugs, maybe.
Couldn't adjust.
I had some doubts too.
But Ryder's watch was found a block from the setup on Mifune and Cartwright.
Now, it isn't as though we were trying to frame him.
I know, the evidence is knee-deep, but I just can't accept the fact that a junkie could shoot that well.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Yeah? It's for you, Che Fong.
Yeah, Che, what do you got? Are you sure? Yeah.
Yeah, I've got him.
Thank you.
Ryder's prints were all over the rifle, it fired the slug taken from Mifune's body, and the paint on that watch crystal puts him in the office the night Ichiro was killed.
I would say that clinches it.
I'm on my way to roll call.
Anything to tell the men? SUKAl: Yeah.
Tell them to go on one-man patrols as of now.
You must have quite a bit on this Ryder cat.
Enough to sustain a conviction, and relax a little.
We'll relax only a little, captain.
The hearts and minds of the criminal community do not change overnight.
MacDougall? Party's over.
We've got our sniper in the jail ward at Queens Hospital.
- Glad to hear that, sir.
SUKAl: You're not the only one.
Tell everyone to pack it in and come on downtown.
You're going back to work.
MacDOUGALL: We're on our way.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING ON CAR STEREO.]
SARAH: Honolulu Police Department.
Your address, sir? We'll send a car as soon as one is available.
Lunch is on me, gentlemen.
It's the least I can do after putting you through all that paperwork.
McGARRETT: You gonna spring? [PHONE RINGING.]
- Yes.
SARAH: A man just called this in.
Complaint of a noisy hi-fi in the Manaluan Apartments in Hawaii-Kai.
- Inquire within.
- Manaluan? That's where we had the stakeout team.
But I relieved them.
I called off the stakeout.
That complaint couldn't have come because of them.
Uh, this is McGarrett.
Exactly what did the man say? He lives in the Manaluan Apartments, hasn't been able to sleep, because of a loud hi-fi that was on all night.
You know, by some screwy coincidence, this could be legitimate.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Uh, which patrol unit would take that call? Uh, Bravo 22.
Uh, Officer Blankenship.
He's just going on duty now.
Hold him.
Hold him, please.
Captain, we're gonna need two H.
P.
D.
Uniforms, one for Danno, and one for me.
Uniforms? If that complaint turns out to be from the sniper, you're a dead man, Steve.
We set the trap, we'll be the bait.
OFFICER: I heard where you're going.
Good luck.
McGARRETT: What's that? It's my rabbit's foot.
You might need it.
Yeah, I might.
Thank you.
SUKAl: Steve, wait a minute.
I can flood that area with 20 cars, seal it off.
Now, why take chances? We don't know what this cat looks like.
If a bunch of cars roar in, he'll just dump the weapon and take off.
No.
No, thank you.
I'll give you 15 minutes after you're on location.
If I don't hear from you, we're coming in.
SARAH [ON RADIO.]
: Bravo 22.
Complaint of a noisy hi-fi in garage at Manaluan Apartments, Hawaii-Kai.

Little different from cruising in an unmarked car, isn't it? Yeah.
I feel as though we're riding in a billboard advertising "cop.
" Everybody knows exactly who we are before we can even see them.
And somebody said that cops are overpaid.
The Manaluan is around the next corner, Danno, get ready.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING LOUDLY ON CAR STEREO.]
Bravo 22 on location.
Investigating.
Hey.
Now, it's about time.
What'd you do? Stop for a beer or something? I can imagine if it was a rape or a robbery or something, it'd be over by now, huh? Are you the tenant that complained about the noise? Damn right, I am.
Get these bad migraine headaches from this war injury.
- I can live without this racket.
- We'll take care of it.
You'll find that the doors are locked.
You'll have to go in through the sunroof.
We'll handle it.
Legit call, huh? Looks that way.
[SHOUTS.]
[GUNFIRE.]
Oh.
This is the sniper? It sure was.
Surprise, huh? Two in the ten-ring.
Not too bad, sir.
Considering how vulnerable you were.
Thanks for the use of your rabbit's foot.
I needed it.
