Hawaii Five-O (1968) s11e02 Episode Script
Horoscope for Murder
May I remind you that there's been a murder committed.
Now, you sent me a note telling me where and when it would happen.
Perhaps you'd like to consult with your lawyer.
I'm sure he'll tell you that the stars do not a defense make.
She has no right to stick her nose into my life.
And neither do you.
Who was your client? I'm afraid I can't reveal that, Agnes.
It wouldn't be ethical- AGNES: Well, you'd better reveal it, and fast, and to the police.
He's has insurmountable problems.
He's a killer.
What did she tell you about the stabbings? She called the last one.
[GASPS.]
[CROWD CHATTERING.]
[WOMAN SCREAMING.]
McGARRETT: What about the victims? Anything in common? DANNY: Nothing apparent, Steve.
A taxi driver, a cocktail waitress, a retired insurance executive and now State Senator Irwin Ramsey.
All different professions.
All different walks of life.
Duke, what did you find at the lab? Very little.
H.
P.
D.
hasn't turned up a weapon yet.
Ramsey was killed, like the others, with a long rounded narrow blade.
- Ice pick? - No.
The most likely candidate is a home made knife.
Some folks call it an Arkansas toothpick.
Some toothpick.
Hello.
My name is Agnes duBois.
-May I help you? - Is this Mr.
McGarrett's office? - Hawaii Five-0? - Yes.
May I speak to him? May I ask the nature of your business? Murder.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
Yes, Lani.
Who? Oh.
Send her in.
Hello.
I'm Agnes duBois.
- Miss duBois, won't you sit down.
- Thank you.
Well, Mr.
McGarrett, gentlemen, I don't usually like to get involved with the police, but, uh, this case Well, I've been doing some research.
Well, I'm considered to be among the top in my profession.
Of course, I'm going to be labeled strange coming here.
Why don't you tell us what you know.
Mr.
McGarrett, how do you feel about astrology? Well, I haven't thought about it much, but, uh, I understand many people rely on it.
Yeah, that's what I like.
A nice evasive answer.
Miss duBois, uh, let's stop right here.
You asked me a question, I gave you an honest answer, so let's dispense with the personal comments, huh? Well, you see, I've been doing some research for a new book.
Astrology And The Criminal Mind.
Well, let me show you what I've found out.
Um You can keep those.
They're duplicates.
All right.
Uh You got in here with the magic word, murder.
Now would you like to tell us what you know? I've researched the stabbings.
Those charts are the natal horoscopes for each of the victims.
You've found some astrological, uh, connection? Mars square Uranus.
Miss duBois, I don't know what you're talking about.
So if you will excuse us, we have some pressing business we have to attend to.
Oh, well at least now you're not being polite.
No, Mars square Uranus simply means that Mars was 90 degrees from Uranus at the time of birth.
What does that have to do with the murders? Well, if it had occurred in one or two of the charts, that could be coincidence, but it's in all four.
Are you telling us that all of the victims were born under the same astrological sign? No, they weren't, and that's what's so remarkable.
Each aspect reoccurs on different days in different years.
And yet, it appears in each of the victim's charts.
- Then what does, uh, Mars - Square Uranus.
Square Uranus mean? Uh, an explosive temper.
All of the victims had, uh, explosive tempers? - Yes.
DANNY: And the killer? - Who might that be? - I haven't the foggiest.
Oh.
Uh In your professional opinion will there be another killing? Obviously.
When? [DIALING PHONE.]
OPERATOR: At the tone the time will be 11:23 and 30 seconds.
[LINE BEEPS.]
I'll let you know later.
Gentlemen, I've clearly taken enough of your time.
Miss duBois, uh, why did you come here instead of going to H.
P.
D.
? Because the case is now under your jurisdiction.
How did you know that? AGNES: Before I came, I checked the moon's position.
It showed me that a higher authority would take over.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[McGARRETT CHUCKLES.]
McGARRETT: Oh, ding-a-ling.
Ding-a-ling.
A case like this brings them all out of the woodwork.
I think we should postpone the investigation until the moon moves into Aquarius.
The way I read the planets, Danno, we don't start from Mars square Uranus, we start from square one.
[TAPS ON TABLE.]
- Oh, Mrs.
Wong.
- I'm early.
No problem.
Uh, Miss duBois is with a client.
But she won't be long.
Come on in.
- What's your sign? - Huh? Oh, I said, what's your sign? Lady, I don't believe in any of that garbage.
I'm just waiting for my girlfriend.
It's the same old thing.
AGNES: Men? Let's take a look at this year's progression of the planets.
[CINDY SIGHS.]
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE.]
Excuse me.
Five-O.
You knew Miss Kane.
Did you ever see any of these three people with her? Mrs.
Ramsey, do you recognize any of these people? RAMSEY: The other victims? McGARRETT: Yes.
Um, who's this one? That's Miss Kane.
The waitress.
He really would've liked to have known her.
I'm just sick and tired of being hurt.
I mean, the past few years have been a nightmare.
It doesn't matter if he's rich or he's poor.
One man didn't even tell me he had a wife and a mistress.
Cindy, I told you your progressed Saturn of limitations is still afflicting Venus of romance in your chart.
Well, how much longer can this go on? Six months.
Patience? I'm afraid so.
Agnes, I have Rick Makulu's birth data.
- Is that the man you came in with? - Yeah.
I think he's different from the others.
Could you compare his planets to my chart? - Cindy-- - Please.
He doesn't believe in astrology but he's been out of work for months.
Okay, maybe he's not right for me now, but if I can only get him to talk to you.
He needs encouragement.
Very well.
Give me the information.
What is his birth date and the time? And do you know where he was born? Here.
I wrote it down for you.
With the astral adversity you're facing, I don't expect you to meet the right man now.
I understand.
AGNES: Don't get your hopes up too high.
- I'll call you when the chart's ready.
- Okay.
[CINDY CHUCKLES.]
Mel.
[CHUCKLES.]
CINDY: Oh! Oh, it's great to see you.
It's been a while.
Well, it's nice to see you, Cindy.
Uh, Mel Burgess, Rick Makulu.
- Hi.
- How you doing? Mel's an astrologer.
So who isn't? I take it you don't share Cindy's enthusiasm for the subject.
Oh, sure he's interested.
And he's a fast study.
Aren't you, Rick? If you say so.
Come on, Cindy, let's go.
Mel.
I didn't expect to see you.
- I didn't think we were even talking.
- Well, why not? That paper you gave in San Francisco, it was absolutely brilliant.
Well, thank you.
Doesn't it totally contradict what you said at the convention? I'll publicly recant at the next meeting.
[CHUCKLES.]
Besides, Agnes, the stars are my life.
Now, how could I possibly be angry with anyone who feels the same way and as beautiful as you.
Mel, you want something.
What is it? Well, I have a client.
And I'm, uh-- I'm very disturbed because his natal T-square has been activated by the major planets.
I'd like you to take a look at this and see what you think.
What do you want me to check? Well, it seems there are some very, very deep emotional problems.
Well, you know I like to work from my own chart.
I'll just copy down the information.
Where was this, uh, Scorpio born? Honolulu.
Say, I bumped into Cindy Rawlins outside.
Is this her, um-- Her latest one-night stand? Makulu.
Uh-uh-uh, Mel.
Ethics.
Look, I gotta run.
Uh, if you need anything, you call me.
All right? AGNES: It was very nice to see you.
- Well, nice seeing you too.
- Bye.
AGNES: Bye-bye.
Martha, type and file this information for me, would you? - There's something I have to do.
- Mm-hm- Lani.
Any messages? Thank you.
- Steve.
- Yeah, Danno? The bartender didn't recognize any of the other victims.
I also talked to her family and friends and it's the same.
No leads.
Duke, what've you got? The cab driver had a call at the senator's high-rise about four weeks ago.
A week before he was murdered.
The dispatcher doesn't know if it was for the senator or not.
Hmm.
I don't have much, either.
The senator and his wife were having marital problems.
She says the waitress would've appealed to him though.
No definite confirmation that they knew each other.
Remember that dingy astrologer? Agnes duBois.
Yeah.
What about her? Well, for what it's worth, she called it right about Miss Kane.
People at the bar said she did have a violent temper.
The dispatcher said the cab driver could really throw a tantrum.
You know something? Mrs.
Ramsey said the senator was known for his explosive temper.
DANNY: Hmm.
LANI: Steve? - Yes, Lani? - This just came by messenger.
McGARRETT: Oh, thank you.
It's from the lovely and omniscient Agnes duBois.
"Mr.
McGarrett, expect the next murder to occur Sunday, between 4:30 and 5, when the moon is in an opposite aspect to the Realm of Neptune.
" [SIREN WAILING.]
When Duke gets back, what do you say we get a bite? [PHONE RINGS.]
McGARRETT: Yeah.
Good idea, Danno.
McGarrett.
When, sergeant? Where was it? Very well.
Thank you.
Another fatal stabbing, That would make it 4:45.
Where, Steve? Near Sandy Beach.
It's the ocean.
The Realm of Neptune.
Maybe Agnes duBois has been working with more than the stars.
You've been reading my chart, Danno.
AGNES: Hello there.
- Oh.
Miss duBois.
Vegetables? Yes.
Much more sensible than flowers- You can feast on their beauty.
What can I do for you, Mr.
McGarrett? You don't know? Well, I'm an astrologer, not a mind reader.
There's been another murder.
Oh.
I thought you'd come to put me down.
I haven't heard any news.
Where? In the Realm of Neptune, between 4:30 and 5.
Where have you been this afternoon? [CHUCKLES.]
What sort of a question is that? A reasonable question, considering your note and prediction.
- Don't you think? MARTHA: Well, here we are.
Oh.
You have a guest.
Uh, I'll get another glass.
None for me.
Thank you.
Martha, please tell this gentleman where I was between 4 and 5 this afternoon.
You were here.
Working and writing, and talking on the phone to clients.
Thank you, Martha.
[MARTHA CHUCKLES.]
I'd like a list of the people you talked to on the telephone.
Mr.
McGarrett, would you ask a doctor or lawyer to violate a confidential relationship? Miss duBois, I hope you're not suggesting that a fiduciary relationship exists between an astrologer and a client.
Intelligence is what I expected from the head of Five-0.
And instead I have a large order of cop mentality.
If you can't see it, or feel it, or touch it, it doesn't exist.
May I remind you there has been a murder committed.
Now, you sent me a note telling me where and when it would happen.
Perhaps you'd like to consult with your lawyer.
I'm sure he'll tell you that the stars do not a defense make.
What? Ha! I don't believe it.
You're out of the dark ages.
You're the kind of person that if you get bad news, you kill the messenger.
- What's your birthday, Mr.
-- - Please.
Please.
I don't believe in astrology.
Well, I'd like to do your chart anyway.
You see, I don't think our Mercury is going to make an aspect.
- That's why we can't communicate.
- Oh, we'll communicate.
Even if we have to do it in the district attorney's office.
Very well.
I was talking to a J.
William Hayes between 4 and 5, and Martha will give you the telephone number.
Why did you come to see me at the office? [CHUCKLES.]
It was a mistake.
I thought I had something to offer.
Vhf hat, a couple of obscure astrological phrases? I presumed you could grasp them.
Perhaps they escaped my cop mentality.
Ah, low blow, low blow.
I'm sorry.
[AGNES CHUCKLES.]
You see, the fact is the killer had to have done a chad on each of the murders.
See, he knows about astrology.
The Mars-Uranus aspect wasn't the only factor.
See, each of the murders occurred when the transiting Moon held a negative aspect to the victim's natal Pluto.
And that happens for one hour, three times a month.
What in God's name does that mean? It means that the killer was both judge and jury.
He had to work out the time of each murder very carefully.
How many people on the island would know how to do that? [SIGHS.]
Well, it's hard to say.
I mean, there's tremendous interest in this subject.
Well, how many other professionals live here? Four, five.
How did you predict the day and the time of that latest killing? Horary astrology.
Horary? [CHUCKLES.]
It comes from the Latin hora, meaning hour.
It enables me to answer a specific question asked at a given moment.
You asked me when the murders took place.
I then made a chart based on that exact time.
It happened to be 11:23 and 30 seconds.
I don't suppose you could, uh, profile the killer? - Yes, if you were interested.
- I'm interested.
Your carrots.
Oh, Mr.
McGarrett, one other thing.
Did all the victims have explosive tempers? We confirmed three.
Would you check into the fourth? I think you'll find that he had one too.
DUKE: The latest victim was Henry Kai.
A lifeguard.
27 years old.
Lived alone, but very popular.
Lots of friends.
Any connection with the other victims? Nothing I could find, Steve.
No starry shortcuts? [SIGHS I'm afraid we're gonna have to rely on such mundane things as eyewitnesses, lab tests, interrogations, and deduction.
Not whether the Moon was in the third house.
Too bad.
What do you make of it, Steve? Well, there has to be a pattern.
Duke, re-examine the backgrounds of all the victims.
Tomorrow, Danno, you and I are gonna check the handful of professionals Miss duBois told us about, including the dear lady herself.
Come on, Danno, let's play handball.
DANNY: You're on.
I have a right to privacy.
I don't need you nosing around in my life.
What makes you think that I'm invading your privacy? You're doing my chart.
Well, why worry? You don't believe it works anyway.
She had no right to stick her nose into my life.
And neither do you.
Well, she only wants to know if you're going to be good for each other.
I'll decide if we're good for each other.
You stay out of it.
KEMPLER: Miss duBois lectures here once or twice a year.
Always a turn-away crowd.
McGARRETT: When was the last time? KEMPLER: Two days ago.
She mentioned she was trying to help you.
McGARRETT: Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
It got a laugh.
McGARRETT: I can imagine.
Do you know about the book she's writing? - In your field, I understand.
- Yeah.
Do you think that publicity is very important to her? Heh.
Always has been.
It brings in the clients.
And helping you solve a case would sell a lot of books.
Yeah.
What a lady.
If you'll excuse me, I have to catch a class.
Thank you.
Mel.
I have to talk to you.
- Sure.
- Ha, ha.
Here, sit down.
Why don't you have a regular office like, uh-- - Agnes? - Yeah.
Yeah, well, the ambience here is it's a little better.
The other day outside Agnes duBois' house, I felt really funny seeing you.
There's no reason for you not to consult another astrologer.
None of us are perfect.
I couldn't go to you for a chart on another man.
Not after what we had.
I don't mind.
We broke up civilly, like two adults.
- I never wanted.
- That's in the past.
We can still befriends.
Friends.
Yeah.
Agnes says I'm not good for any man now.
It's in my chart.
No comment.
[SIGHS.]
So, what are you doing here? What do you want? I, uh, have to do something for Rick.
Oh, the man you were with the other day.
I really don't have any place to turn.
You always did know what to do.
How can I help? He needs a job, badly.
- I thought maybe one of your clients - Yeah, I know a lot of people.
Look, why don't you have him come see me.
I'll see what I can do, all right? McGARRETT: I'm looking for a Mr.
Burgess.
I understand he spends quite a lot of time around here.
MEL: Yes.
I'm Burgess.
Yes, Mr.
Burgess.
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
- Now what did I do, heh? - I'd like to talk to you.
- Mel, I've gotta go.
- Care to join me on the terrace? - I'm gonna have a bite of lunch.
- Thank you.
McGARRETT: I understand you're one of the leading astrologers in the islands.
Oh, someone's been very kind.
But I do believe that the study of planetary influence is important to understanding ourselves.
Then you're not connected with this place? No, I, um-- I just come up here a lot.
What do you know about Agnes duBois? Well, professionally she's quite competent.
I know nothing about her personally.
She really did contact you, huh? Heh, I thought it was a joke.
What did she tell you about the stabbings? She called the last one.
The time, the place, and the day.
That's horary astrology.
That's predictive astrology.
It's, uh-- it's almost like fortune telling.
Totally unreliable.
What was it? Chance, coincidence, maybe? Well, you, yeah, you could call it that.
Why would she risk her reputation on something like that? Well, there's no risk.
If she'd have been wrong, you'd have forgotten.
But, uh, uh-uh, you're hooked.
I imagine it'll make a dandy chapter.
You mean she's doing all of this for her book? Mr.
McGarrett, I'm sure that the possibility hadn't escaped you.
[SIGHS.]
When I called to see you, I didn't expect this.
I must have been very persuasive.
Very.
Very persuasive.
But you were wrong about one thing.
What was that? The last victim did not have an explosive temper.
I did his chart.
He had Mars square Uranus, just like all the others.
Well, the autopsy report showed a duodenal ulcer.
Exactly, that means that the temper was internalized.
A little late to prove that, isn't it? Is the mahi-mahi fresh here? The opakapaka and the mahi-mahi are always fresh here.
By the way, you promised to tell me something about the murderer.
Yes.
His age is somewhere between 30 and 40.
- His? You mean it's a man? - Not necessarily.
Someone who works with their mind, not their muscles.
Someone very introspective with painfully difficult emotional problems.
And as I said before, it is somebody who is interested in astrology or the occult.
And is also under a severe emotional strain.
Maybe even a psychotic.
An awful lot of people who read horoscopes would fit that description.
I should have done an event chad for dinner.
An event chart? What is an event chart? An event chart would have told me how frustrating and aggravating this dinner is going to be.
Heightened only by the fact that my escort is so attractive.
I'll take the steak, medium-rare.
Your health.
[GASPS.]
- Are you feeling better now? - Yes.
Tell me about the chart Oh, that horrible knife.
Please, just try to concentrate on the chart.
It's mine.
Someone did my natal horoscope.
What about the chart itself? Is it the same as you brought to my office? Yes, it's a form that I designed.
Or it's a copy of one.
Well, who would have access to them? I give each of my clients a copy.
My students can buy them from me.
And, well, anybody could have made a copy of it.
Anything else you can think of? That knife is stuck in my first house.
That's my personal house.
How would you interpret that? Well, it's clearly a threat to keep me out of this case.
I'll need the names and addresses of all your students and clients.
I hope you're not gonna fight me on that.
No.
No.
I'm very frightened.
Thank you.
We'll provide around the clock protection for you.
I'll have these copied.
You're beginning to believe what I've told you? My only concern is for your life, not the validity of astrology.
Here we go again.
Oh.
Uh May I borrow some of these books? Please, feel free.
You claim you're guided by certain mathematical laws, huh? Yes, we are.
Why? Because it's just possible someone is trying to make the facts conform to the stars.
DUKE: Steve.
McGARRETT: Yeah, Duke? I've gone over each victim's background carefully.
The only thing they had in common was that they were all Honolulu residents.
- No tourists.
- That doesn't give us much, Duke.
- Did you get the lab report, Danno? - Yeah.
The knife is, uh, an Arkansas Toothpick, obviously homemade.
- The lab says it matches the wounds.
- That's ghastly.
Ask H.
P.
D.
to check out all metal shops, suppliers, cutlery stores, anyplace where similar pieces of steel can be purchased.
- Right.
- Now, what about the chart? It's a copy of one used by Agnes duBois.
H.
P.
D.
is checking the photo offset houses.
That narrows it down to someone who had access to these charts- Maybe Agnes duBois herself.
Yeah, maybe.
But, she seemed genuinely frightened, Danno.
You and Duke better start checking out that list of clients and students.
See if any of them had a relationship with the victims.
It's along list.
McGARRETT: Vhf ell, maybe I can cut it down.
DAN NY: How? Same old way, Danno.
Homework.
You sold shoes.
- What happened? - You know the economy.
The store went out of business.
Didn't you say something about having a job in the cane fields? I didn't go to the university to do sweat work.
Or to sell shoes.
[CHUCKLES.]
I have a friend, a client, who, um, is a travel agent, always needs tour guides.
- Would you like me to talk to him? - Yes.
I think I can arrange that.
How well did you know Cindy? We were friends.
That's all.
Mr.
Burgess, thank you.
Uh, Danno, I want you and Duke to cross index this, uh, client list of Miss duBois'.
And check at the Hall of Records, newspapers, motor vehicle bureaus.
Any place where they have access to birth data.
The basic tools of the astrologer's trade.
Yeah, you know, they claim they can't make a chart without knowing the month, day, year and hour of birth.
You're beginning to sound like Agnes.
Heh.
Am I? By the way, when were you born? - What? - When were you born? Listen, I said, when were you born? Hour? Month? Steve, when this is over, you can do my chart.
Tell me how I went wrong.
It's vitally important.
Oh, is Mr.
McGarrett in? You're supposed to be under police guard.
- He's outside.
- Vhf ell, he's inside.
I know who the murderer is.
All right, let me guess.
Someone who works with the mind, not the muscle, huh? A very introspective person, right? No.
His name and address.
Oh.
So you're gonna solve it with astrology.
I think I'll put you on the payroll.
You are so exasperating.
A client came to me and asked me to do the chad of a friend.
Well, later this friend came storming into my office and practically threatened me if I went ahead with it.
Why didn't you tell me this before? I don't know.
I didn't think about it.
But then, with all that business with the knife, and then you investigating the clients Miss duBois, exactly what did you find out? In laymen's terms.
He has such a badly afflicted chart that the eclipse on the 15th of last month had to have triggered violence.
[McGARRETT CHUCKLES.]
God, is that your evidence? His planets are in the classic configuration of the mass murderer.
But most important, the position of these planets connect to each one of the victim's charts.
And that, Mr.
McGarrett, in plain English, is a fated connection.
Very well.
Who is it? Rick Makulu.
- How long has Makulu been dead? - An hour, maybe.
Looks like your case is over.
- Oh.
You think it was suicide? - Don't you? I don't see any signs of a struggle.
The murderer could have cleaned it up.
- True.
DANNY: Steve.
Charts on the five stabbing victims.
I guess these others were potential victims.
Yeah.
Miss duBois is still outside.
Ask her to come in, will you, Danno? - Sure.
DUKE: Steve.
- Yeah? - Look at this.
Names, addresses, birthdays.
These are copies of drivers' licenses from the Department of Motor Vehicle files.
He's dead.
I can't believe it.
Would you take a look at these charts, please? He knew a lot more than I realized.
All the victims and some others.
All Mars square Uranus.
Mr.
Williams said that Mr.
Makulu may have killed himself.
What do you say? It's very difficult for an astrologer to predict death.
Danger or a dramatic change in a person's life, maybe.
Rick Makulu was not suicidal.
Which one of your clients asked you to do Makulu's horoscope? Cindy Rawlins.
Do we have anything on her? She's a client who works for the Department of Motor Vehicles.
I was on my way there when this call came in.
Pick her up.
I want to talk to her.
You don't think she could have handled this? I doubt it.
Not by herself.
McGARRETT: Something's bothering me, Danno.
If we accept the theory that the murderer was a psycho, with knowledge of astrology, driven to kill people with a certain-- What is it, planetary aspect? Then I'd say that he had no reason to kill himself.
Not unless he completely flipped out.
Yeah, that's a possibility, I guess.
Give me a rundown on Makulu again, will you? Not much.
Uh, let's see.
He worked for a shoe store until it folded three months ago.
He was born right here in Honolulu on March 18th- A loner-- - Wait a minute.
March 18th? - Yeah.
March 18th.
I think Miss duBois said something different.
Uh She said the 30th of October.
I got this from the Hall of Records, Steve.
She must have made a mistake.
Maybe not, Danno.
Maybe not.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
Yes, Lani? LANI: Duke is here with Miss Rawlins.
- Yes.
Send them in.
Steve, Danny, this is Cindy Rawlins.
Miss Rawlins, how do you do? Won't you sit down, please? Haven't I seen you before, Miss Rawlins? At the planetarium? I didn't know, uh, Rick was dead until we were driving in.
We'd like to know where you spent last night.
- Do I have to say? - No.
No, you're entitled to call a lawyer, if you wish.
- Have you read her her rights, Duke? - Yes.
You don't think I had anything to do with Rick's death.
Wanna talk about it? We had a fight.
Rick needed a job, so I went to an old boyfriend who agreed to hire him.
Then the more Rick thought about it, the more jealous he became.
Finally, he accused me of sleeping with Mel Burgess just to get the favor.
Yeah.
Go on.
Rick had a very explosive temper sometimes.
I left and went dancing.
I spent the night with a man I met at a disco.
Busy, aren't you? We'll need his name.
I don't know his name.
You don't know his name? I can't blame Rick for being jealous.
When did you give Makulu those files from the Motor Vehicle Department? I don't know what you're talking about.
Cindy, lying never solved anything.
Don't you know that? You ever see these? Yes.
- You made those copies, didn't you? CINDY: Yes.
- Why? - For research.
What kind of research was Makulu doing? Rick wasn't doing research.
I gave the file to Mel Burgess.
You gave them to Mel Burgess? Mel.
Mel.
There's been-- [WHISPERING.]
There's been a terrible mistake.
You look worried.
I think that my secretary mixed up your client's card with the man's who's just been murdered.
Rick Makulu.
My client's card? Yes, the one that I did a reading for.
[CHUCKLES.]
And you're the one who never makes an error.
There's no time for sarcasm.
This is serious.
[IN NORMAL VOICE.]
Who was your client? I'm afraid I can't reveal that, Agnes.
It wouldn't be ethical- Well, you'd better reveal it, and fast, and to the police.
Oh? Well, why? You saw what I saw in that chart He has insurmountable problems.
He's a killer.
Oh, come on.
Emotional problems, maybe.
But, uh-- But a killer? Mel, I am sure of this.
You're making a big mistake.
Did your client know that you asked me for a reading? He may have.
Well, maybe my secretary didn't make a mistake.
Maybe he broke into my house and switched the cards in my file with Makulu's.
But then how did he know that Makulu had Mars square Uranus? Now, you saw the card on my desk that day you came to my house.
Mel.
McGARRETT: Okay, we'll take the front.
The rest of you take the sides and the back.
No one leaves.
Let's go.
I'm sorry you came, Agnes.
You put Mak-- You put Makulu's name on your card in my file.
I had to make his death look like a suicide.
Throw McGarrett off.
Why did you kill all those people? Because in their chads they had to die.
But, you, Agnes, [BRIEFCASE CLICKS.]
you didn't have to die.
You could have lived, Agnes.
The stars are never wrong.
Never.
[AGNES GRUNTS.]
Mel, I can help you.
I can help you.
- I understand why-- - Sure.
[AGNES GRUNTING.]
AGNES: Oh, ow, you're hurting me.
Officer, check down below.
DANNY: He's got her someplace.
I saw her purse.
MEL: Stay right there, McGarrett.
MAN: Ladies and gentlemen, you have just entered a magical place.
The room, beneath a vaulted dome, will soon be transformed into a glittering panorama of the heavens.
The beauty of the skies, the stars and constellations, all in their proper places and perspectives, and even the seemingly mysterious movements of the planets will be displayed and made to perform for your pleasure and your edification.
Right here, in this theater of the stars, we expand our knowledge of the outer space to the farthest reaches, and we explore the corridors of time.
Backward to the beginnings, forward to unimaginable vistas of the future- And the stars come up.
The visual motions of the planets in the sky result from the combination of their own motions and the voyage of the Earth around the sun.
[FOOTSTEPS FROM ABOVE.]
How'd he get up there? Um, door outside to the left.
Danno, get it, will you? Now listen to me, I want you to turn the house lights on when I say so.
All right? [CROWD GASPS.]
McGARRETT: Ladies and gentlemen, please.
Please, stay calm.
There's no danger to you.
Hold it.
Nobody moves or she dies.
[CROWD GASPS.]
Ladies and gentlemen, please.
Please, do as he says, but remain calm.
That's very important.
Danno, stay where you are.
Burgess, it's all over.
Give yourself up.
We won't hurt you.
MEL: The Moon is void of course right now.
And you can't touch me.
McGARRETT: No, you're wrong, Burgess.
You're wrong.
The planet Mercury is retrograde.
You know that means your current plans cannot be fulfilled.
And the Moon has just entered your birth sign, Scorpio.
I'll prove it to you.
It's all over, Burgess.
Look up.
Look.
Look into the stars.
Release the lady and turn your weapon over to the officer.
Do it now.
[AGNES GRUNTS.]
Okay, Danno.
Book him.
McGARRETT: Are you all right now? - Almost.
You really did your homework.
Mr.
McGarrett, thank you.
You still don't believe in astrology, do you? No, I don't.
Strange, after what just happened in there.
What do you mean? Well, the stars saved my life, didn't they? Oh, did they? - I thought the coppers did.
- Ha, ha.
Now, you sent me a note telling me where and when it would happen.
Perhaps you'd like to consult with your lawyer.
I'm sure he'll tell you that the stars do not a defense make.
She has no right to stick her nose into my life.
And neither do you.
Who was your client? I'm afraid I can't reveal that, Agnes.
It wouldn't be ethical- AGNES: Well, you'd better reveal it, and fast, and to the police.
He's has insurmountable problems.
He's a killer.
What did she tell you about the stabbings? She called the last one.
[GASPS.]
[CROWD CHATTERING.]
[WOMAN SCREAMING.]
McGARRETT: What about the victims? Anything in common? DANNY: Nothing apparent, Steve.
A taxi driver, a cocktail waitress, a retired insurance executive and now State Senator Irwin Ramsey.
All different professions.
All different walks of life.
Duke, what did you find at the lab? Very little.
H.
P.
D.
hasn't turned up a weapon yet.
Ramsey was killed, like the others, with a long rounded narrow blade.
- Ice pick? - No.
The most likely candidate is a home made knife.
Some folks call it an Arkansas toothpick.
Some toothpick.
Hello.
My name is Agnes duBois.
-May I help you? - Is this Mr.
McGarrett's office? - Hawaii Five-0? - Yes.
May I speak to him? May I ask the nature of your business? Murder.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
Yes, Lani.
Who? Oh.
Send her in.
Hello.
I'm Agnes duBois.
- Miss duBois, won't you sit down.
- Thank you.
Well, Mr.
McGarrett, gentlemen, I don't usually like to get involved with the police, but, uh, this case Well, I've been doing some research.
Well, I'm considered to be among the top in my profession.
Of course, I'm going to be labeled strange coming here.
Why don't you tell us what you know.
Mr.
McGarrett, how do you feel about astrology? Well, I haven't thought about it much, but, uh, I understand many people rely on it.
Yeah, that's what I like.
A nice evasive answer.
Miss duBois, uh, let's stop right here.
You asked me a question, I gave you an honest answer, so let's dispense with the personal comments, huh? Well, you see, I've been doing some research for a new book.
Astrology And The Criminal Mind.
Well, let me show you what I've found out.
Um You can keep those.
They're duplicates.
All right.
Uh You got in here with the magic word, murder.
Now would you like to tell us what you know? I've researched the stabbings.
Those charts are the natal horoscopes for each of the victims.
You've found some astrological, uh, connection? Mars square Uranus.
Miss duBois, I don't know what you're talking about.
So if you will excuse us, we have some pressing business we have to attend to.
Oh, well at least now you're not being polite.
No, Mars square Uranus simply means that Mars was 90 degrees from Uranus at the time of birth.
What does that have to do with the murders? Well, if it had occurred in one or two of the charts, that could be coincidence, but it's in all four.
Are you telling us that all of the victims were born under the same astrological sign? No, they weren't, and that's what's so remarkable.
Each aspect reoccurs on different days in different years.
And yet, it appears in each of the victim's charts.
- Then what does, uh, Mars - Square Uranus.
Square Uranus mean? Uh, an explosive temper.
All of the victims had, uh, explosive tempers? - Yes.
DANNY: And the killer? - Who might that be? - I haven't the foggiest.
Oh.
Uh In your professional opinion will there be another killing? Obviously.
When? [DIALING PHONE.]
OPERATOR: At the tone the time will be 11:23 and 30 seconds.
[LINE BEEPS.]
I'll let you know later.
Gentlemen, I've clearly taken enough of your time.
Miss duBois, uh, why did you come here instead of going to H.
P.
D.
? Because the case is now under your jurisdiction.
How did you know that? AGNES: Before I came, I checked the moon's position.
It showed me that a higher authority would take over.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[McGARRETT CHUCKLES.]
McGARRETT: Oh, ding-a-ling.
Ding-a-ling.
A case like this brings them all out of the woodwork.
I think we should postpone the investigation until the moon moves into Aquarius.
The way I read the planets, Danno, we don't start from Mars square Uranus, we start from square one.
[TAPS ON TABLE.]
- Oh, Mrs.
Wong.
- I'm early.
No problem.
Uh, Miss duBois is with a client.
But she won't be long.
Come on in.
- What's your sign? - Huh? Oh, I said, what's your sign? Lady, I don't believe in any of that garbage.
I'm just waiting for my girlfriend.
It's the same old thing.
AGNES: Men? Let's take a look at this year's progression of the planets.
[CINDY SIGHS.]
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE.]
Excuse me.
Five-O.
You knew Miss Kane.
Did you ever see any of these three people with her? Mrs.
Ramsey, do you recognize any of these people? RAMSEY: The other victims? McGARRETT: Yes.
Um, who's this one? That's Miss Kane.
The waitress.
He really would've liked to have known her.
I'm just sick and tired of being hurt.
I mean, the past few years have been a nightmare.
It doesn't matter if he's rich or he's poor.
One man didn't even tell me he had a wife and a mistress.
Cindy, I told you your progressed Saturn of limitations is still afflicting Venus of romance in your chart.
Well, how much longer can this go on? Six months.
Patience? I'm afraid so.
Agnes, I have Rick Makulu's birth data.
- Is that the man you came in with? - Yeah.
I think he's different from the others.
Could you compare his planets to my chart? - Cindy-- - Please.
He doesn't believe in astrology but he's been out of work for months.
Okay, maybe he's not right for me now, but if I can only get him to talk to you.
He needs encouragement.
Very well.
Give me the information.
What is his birth date and the time? And do you know where he was born? Here.
I wrote it down for you.
With the astral adversity you're facing, I don't expect you to meet the right man now.
I understand.
AGNES: Don't get your hopes up too high.
- I'll call you when the chart's ready.
- Okay.
[CINDY CHUCKLES.]
Mel.
[CHUCKLES.]
CINDY: Oh! Oh, it's great to see you.
It's been a while.
Well, it's nice to see you, Cindy.
Uh, Mel Burgess, Rick Makulu.
- Hi.
- How you doing? Mel's an astrologer.
So who isn't? I take it you don't share Cindy's enthusiasm for the subject.
Oh, sure he's interested.
And he's a fast study.
Aren't you, Rick? If you say so.
Come on, Cindy, let's go.
Mel.
I didn't expect to see you.
- I didn't think we were even talking.
- Well, why not? That paper you gave in San Francisco, it was absolutely brilliant.
Well, thank you.
Doesn't it totally contradict what you said at the convention? I'll publicly recant at the next meeting.
[CHUCKLES.]
Besides, Agnes, the stars are my life.
Now, how could I possibly be angry with anyone who feels the same way and as beautiful as you.
Mel, you want something.
What is it? Well, I have a client.
And I'm, uh-- I'm very disturbed because his natal T-square has been activated by the major planets.
I'd like you to take a look at this and see what you think.
What do you want me to check? Well, it seems there are some very, very deep emotional problems.
Well, you know I like to work from my own chart.
I'll just copy down the information.
Where was this, uh, Scorpio born? Honolulu.
Say, I bumped into Cindy Rawlins outside.
Is this her, um-- Her latest one-night stand? Makulu.
Uh-uh-uh, Mel.
Ethics.
Look, I gotta run.
Uh, if you need anything, you call me.
All right? AGNES: It was very nice to see you.
- Well, nice seeing you too.
- Bye.
AGNES: Bye-bye.
Martha, type and file this information for me, would you? - There's something I have to do.
- Mm-hm- Lani.
Any messages? Thank you.
- Steve.
- Yeah, Danno? The bartender didn't recognize any of the other victims.
I also talked to her family and friends and it's the same.
No leads.
Duke, what've you got? The cab driver had a call at the senator's high-rise about four weeks ago.
A week before he was murdered.
The dispatcher doesn't know if it was for the senator or not.
Hmm.
I don't have much, either.
The senator and his wife were having marital problems.
She says the waitress would've appealed to him though.
No definite confirmation that they knew each other.
Remember that dingy astrologer? Agnes duBois.
Yeah.
What about her? Well, for what it's worth, she called it right about Miss Kane.
People at the bar said she did have a violent temper.
The dispatcher said the cab driver could really throw a tantrum.
You know something? Mrs.
Ramsey said the senator was known for his explosive temper.
DANNY: Hmm.
LANI: Steve? - Yes, Lani? - This just came by messenger.
McGARRETT: Oh, thank you.
It's from the lovely and omniscient Agnes duBois.
"Mr.
McGarrett, expect the next murder to occur Sunday, between 4:30 and 5, when the moon is in an opposite aspect to the Realm of Neptune.
" [SIREN WAILING.]
When Duke gets back, what do you say we get a bite? [PHONE RINGS.]
McGARRETT: Yeah.
Good idea, Danno.
McGarrett.
When, sergeant? Where was it? Very well.
Thank you.
Another fatal stabbing, That would make it 4:45.
Where, Steve? Near Sandy Beach.
It's the ocean.
The Realm of Neptune.
Maybe Agnes duBois has been working with more than the stars.
You've been reading my chart, Danno.
AGNES: Hello there.
- Oh.
Miss duBois.
Vegetables? Yes.
Much more sensible than flowers- You can feast on their beauty.
What can I do for you, Mr.
McGarrett? You don't know? Well, I'm an astrologer, not a mind reader.
There's been another murder.
Oh.
I thought you'd come to put me down.
I haven't heard any news.
Where? In the Realm of Neptune, between 4:30 and 5.
Where have you been this afternoon? [CHUCKLES.]
What sort of a question is that? A reasonable question, considering your note and prediction.
- Don't you think? MARTHA: Well, here we are.
Oh.
You have a guest.
Uh, I'll get another glass.
None for me.
Thank you.
Martha, please tell this gentleman where I was between 4 and 5 this afternoon.
You were here.
Working and writing, and talking on the phone to clients.
Thank you, Martha.
[MARTHA CHUCKLES.]
I'd like a list of the people you talked to on the telephone.
Mr.
McGarrett, would you ask a doctor or lawyer to violate a confidential relationship? Miss duBois, I hope you're not suggesting that a fiduciary relationship exists between an astrologer and a client.
Intelligence is what I expected from the head of Five-0.
And instead I have a large order of cop mentality.
If you can't see it, or feel it, or touch it, it doesn't exist.
May I remind you there has been a murder committed.
Now, you sent me a note telling me where and when it would happen.
Perhaps you'd like to consult with your lawyer.
I'm sure he'll tell you that the stars do not a defense make.
What? Ha! I don't believe it.
You're out of the dark ages.
You're the kind of person that if you get bad news, you kill the messenger.
- What's your birthday, Mr.
-- - Please.
Please.
I don't believe in astrology.
Well, I'd like to do your chart anyway.
You see, I don't think our Mercury is going to make an aspect.
- That's why we can't communicate.
- Oh, we'll communicate.
Even if we have to do it in the district attorney's office.
Very well.
I was talking to a J.
William Hayes between 4 and 5, and Martha will give you the telephone number.
Why did you come to see me at the office? [CHUCKLES.]
It was a mistake.
I thought I had something to offer.
Vhf hat, a couple of obscure astrological phrases? I presumed you could grasp them.
Perhaps they escaped my cop mentality.
Ah, low blow, low blow.
I'm sorry.
[AGNES CHUCKLES.]
You see, the fact is the killer had to have done a chad on each of the murders.
See, he knows about astrology.
The Mars-Uranus aspect wasn't the only factor.
See, each of the murders occurred when the transiting Moon held a negative aspect to the victim's natal Pluto.
And that happens for one hour, three times a month.
What in God's name does that mean? It means that the killer was both judge and jury.
He had to work out the time of each murder very carefully.
How many people on the island would know how to do that? [SIGHS.]
Well, it's hard to say.
I mean, there's tremendous interest in this subject.
Well, how many other professionals live here? Four, five.
How did you predict the day and the time of that latest killing? Horary astrology.
Horary? [CHUCKLES.]
It comes from the Latin hora, meaning hour.
It enables me to answer a specific question asked at a given moment.
You asked me when the murders took place.
I then made a chart based on that exact time.
It happened to be 11:23 and 30 seconds.
I don't suppose you could, uh, profile the killer? - Yes, if you were interested.
- I'm interested.
Your carrots.
Oh, Mr.
McGarrett, one other thing.
Did all the victims have explosive tempers? We confirmed three.
Would you check into the fourth? I think you'll find that he had one too.
DUKE: The latest victim was Henry Kai.
A lifeguard.
27 years old.
Lived alone, but very popular.
Lots of friends.
Any connection with the other victims? Nothing I could find, Steve.
No starry shortcuts? [SIGHS I'm afraid we're gonna have to rely on such mundane things as eyewitnesses, lab tests, interrogations, and deduction.
Not whether the Moon was in the third house.
Too bad.
What do you make of it, Steve? Well, there has to be a pattern.
Duke, re-examine the backgrounds of all the victims.
Tomorrow, Danno, you and I are gonna check the handful of professionals Miss duBois told us about, including the dear lady herself.
Come on, Danno, let's play handball.
DANNY: You're on.
I have a right to privacy.
I don't need you nosing around in my life.
What makes you think that I'm invading your privacy? You're doing my chart.
Well, why worry? You don't believe it works anyway.
She had no right to stick her nose into my life.
And neither do you.
Well, she only wants to know if you're going to be good for each other.
I'll decide if we're good for each other.
You stay out of it.
KEMPLER: Miss duBois lectures here once or twice a year.
Always a turn-away crowd.
McGARRETT: When was the last time? KEMPLER: Two days ago.
She mentioned she was trying to help you.
McGARRETT: Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
It got a laugh.
McGARRETT: I can imagine.
Do you know about the book she's writing? - In your field, I understand.
- Yeah.
Do you think that publicity is very important to her? Heh.
Always has been.
It brings in the clients.
And helping you solve a case would sell a lot of books.
Yeah.
What a lady.
If you'll excuse me, I have to catch a class.
Thank you.
Mel.
I have to talk to you.
- Sure.
- Ha, ha.
Here, sit down.
Why don't you have a regular office like, uh-- - Agnes? - Yeah.
Yeah, well, the ambience here is it's a little better.
The other day outside Agnes duBois' house, I felt really funny seeing you.
There's no reason for you not to consult another astrologer.
None of us are perfect.
I couldn't go to you for a chart on another man.
Not after what we had.
I don't mind.
We broke up civilly, like two adults.
- I never wanted.
- That's in the past.
We can still befriends.
Friends.
Yeah.
Agnes says I'm not good for any man now.
It's in my chart.
No comment.
[SIGHS.]
So, what are you doing here? What do you want? I, uh, have to do something for Rick.
Oh, the man you were with the other day.
I really don't have any place to turn.
You always did know what to do.
How can I help? He needs a job, badly.
- I thought maybe one of your clients - Yeah, I know a lot of people.
Look, why don't you have him come see me.
I'll see what I can do, all right? McGARRETT: I'm looking for a Mr.
Burgess.
I understand he spends quite a lot of time around here.
MEL: Yes.
I'm Burgess.
Yes, Mr.
Burgess.
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
- Now what did I do, heh? - I'd like to talk to you.
- Mel, I've gotta go.
- Care to join me on the terrace? - I'm gonna have a bite of lunch.
- Thank you.
McGARRETT: I understand you're one of the leading astrologers in the islands.
Oh, someone's been very kind.
But I do believe that the study of planetary influence is important to understanding ourselves.
Then you're not connected with this place? No, I, um-- I just come up here a lot.
What do you know about Agnes duBois? Well, professionally she's quite competent.
I know nothing about her personally.
She really did contact you, huh? Heh, I thought it was a joke.
What did she tell you about the stabbings? She called the last one.
The time, the place, and the day.
That's horary astrology.
That's predictive astrology.
It's, uh-- it's almost like fortune telling.
Totally unreliable.
What was it? Chance, coincidence, maybe? Well, you, yeah, you could call it that.
Why would she risk her reputation on something like that? Well, there's no risk.
If she'd have been wrong, you'd have forgotten.
But, uh, uh-uh, you're hooked.
I imagine it'll make a dandy chapter.
You mean she's doing all of this for her book? Mr.
McGarrett, I'm sure that the possibility hadn't escaped you.
[SIGHS.]
When I called to see you, I didn't expect this.
I must have been very persuasive.
Very.
Very persuasive.
But you were wrong about one thing.
What was that? The last victim did not have an explosive temper.
I did his chart.
He had Mars square Uranus, just like all the others.
Well, the autopsy report showed a duodenal ulcer.
Exactly, that means that the temper was internalized.
A little late to prove that, isn't it? Is the mahi-mahi fresh here? The opakapaka and the mahi-mahi are always fresh here.
By the way, you promised to tell me something about the murderer.
Yes.
His age is somewhere between 30 and 40.
- His? You mean it's a man? - Not necessarily.
Someone who works with their mind, not their muscles.
Someone very introspective with painfully difficult emotional problems.
And as I said before, it is somebody who is interested in astrology or the occult.
And is also under a severe emotional strain.
Maybe even a psychotic.
An awful lot of people who read horoscopes would fit that description.
I should have done an event chad for dinner.
An event chart? What is an event chart? An event chart would have told me how frustrating and aggravating this dinner is going to be.
Heightened only by the fact that my escort is so attractive.
I'll take the steak, medium-rare.
Your health.
[GASPS.]
- Are you feeling better now? - Yes.
Tell me about the chart Oh, that horrible knife.
Please, just try to concentrate on the chart.
It's mine.
Someone did my natal horoscope.
What about the chart itself? Is it the same as you brought to my office? Yes, it's a form that I designed.
Or it's a copy of one.
Well, who would have access to them? I give each of my clients a copy.
My students can buy them from me.
And, well, anybody could have made a copy of it.
Anything else you can think of? That knife is stuck in my first house.
That's my personal house.
How would you interpret that? Well, it's clearly a threat to keep me out of this case.
I'll need the names and addresses of all your students and clients.
I hope you're not gonna fight me on that.
No.
No.
I'm very frightened.
Thank you.
We'll provide around the clock protection for you.
I'll have these copied.
You're beginning to believe what I've told you? My only concern is for your life, not the validity of astrology.
Here we go again.
Oh.
Uh May I borrow some of these books? Please, feel free.
You claim you're guided by certain mathematical laws, huh? Yes, we are.
Why? Because it's just possible someone is trying to make the facts conform to the stars.
DUKE: Steve.
McGARRETT: Yeah, Duke? I've gone over each victim's background carefully.
The only thing they had in common was that they were all Honolulu residents.
- No tourists.
- That doesn't give us much, Duke.
- Did you get the lab report, Danno? - Yeah.
The knife is, uh, an Arkansas Toothpick, obviously homemade.
- The lab says it matches the wounds.
- That's ghastly.
Ask H.
P.
D.
to check out all metal shops, suppliers, cutlery stores, anyplace where similar pieces of steel can be purchased.
- Right.
- Now, what about the chart? It's a copy of one used by Agnes duBois.
H.
P.
D.
is checking the photo offset houses.
That narrows it down to someone who had access to these charts- Maybe Agnes duBois herself.
Yeah, maybe.
But, she seemed genuinely frightened, Danno.
You and Duke better start checking out that list of clients and students.
See if any of them had a relationship with the victims.
It's along list.
McGARRETT: Vhf ell, maybe I can cut it down.
DAN NY: How? Same old way, Danno.
Homework.
You sold shoes.
- What happened? - You know the economy.
The store went out of business.
Didn't you say something about having a job in the cane fields? I didn't go to the university to do sweat work.
Or to sell shoes.
[CHUCKLES.]
I have a friend, a client, who, um, is a travel agent, always needs tour guides.
- Would you like me to talk to him? - Yes.
I think I can arrange that.
How well did you know Cindy? We were friends.
That's all.
Mr.
Burgess, thank you.
Uh, Danno, I want you and Duke to cross index this, uh, client list of Miss duBois'.
And check at the Hall of Records, newspapers, motor vehicle bureaus.
Any place where they have access to birth data.
The basic tools of the astrologer's trade.
Yeah, you know, they claim they can't make a chart without knowing the month, day, year and hour of birth.
You're beginning to sound like Agnes.
Heh.
Am I? By the way, when were you born? - What? - When were you born? Listen, I said, when were you born? Hour? Month? Steve, when this is over, you can do my chart.
Tell me how I went wrong.
It's vitally important.
Oh, is Mr.
McGarrett in? You're supposed to be under police guard.
- He's outside.
- Vhf ell, he's inside.
I know who the murderer is.
All right, let me guess.
Someone who works with the mind, not the muscle, huh? A very introspective person, right? No.
His name and address.
Oh.
So you're gonna solve it with astrology.
I think I'll put you on the payroll.
You are so exasperating.
A client came to me and asked me to do the chad of a friend.
Well, later this friend came storming into my office and practically threatened me if I went ahead with it.
Why didn't you tell me this before? I don't know.
I didn't think about it.
But then, with all that business with the knife, and then you investigating the clients Miss duBois, exactly what did you find out? In laymen's terms.
He has such a badly afflicted chart that the eclipse on the 15th of last month had to have triggered violence.
[McGARRETT CHUCKLES.]
God, is that your evidence? His planets are in the classic configuration of the mass murderer.
But most important, the position of these planets connect to each one of the victim's charts.
And that, Mr.
McGarrett, in plain English, is a fated connection.
Very well.
Who is it? Rick Makulu.
- How long has Makulu been dead? - An hour, maybe.
Looks like your case is over.
- Oh.
You think it was suicide? - Don't you? I don't see any signs of a struggle.
The murderer could have cleaned it up.
- True.
DANNY: Steve.
Charts on the five stabbing victims.
I guess these others were potential victims.
Yeah.
Miss duBois is still outside.
Ask her to come in, will you, Danno? - Sure.
DUKE: Steve.
- Yeah? - Look at this.
Names, addresses, birthdays.
These are copies of drivers' licenses from the Department of Motor Vehicle files.
He's dead.
I can't believe it.
Would you take a look at these charts, please? He knew a lot more than I realized.
All the victims and some others.
All Mars square Uranus.
Mr.
Williams said that Mr.
Makulu may have killed himself.
What do you say? It's very difficult for an astrologer to predict death.
Danger or a dramatic change in a person's life, maybe.
Rick Makulu was not suicidal.
Which one of your clients asked you to do Makulu's horoscope? Cindy Rawlins.
Do we have anything on her? She's a client who works for the Department of Motor Vehicles.
I was on my way there when this call came in.
Pick her up.
I want to talk to her.
You don't think she could have handled this? I doubt it.
Not by herself.
McGARRETT: Something's bothering me, Danno.
If we accept the theory that the murderer was a psycho, with knowledge of astrology, driven to kill people with a certain-- What is it, planetary aspect? Then I'd say that he had no reason to kill himself.
Not unless he completely flipped out.
Yeah, that's a possibility, I guess.
Give me a rundown on Makulu again, will you? Not much.
Uh, let's see.
He worked for a shoe store until it folded three months ago.
He was born right here in Honolulu on March 18th- A loner-- - Wait a minute.
March 18th? - Yeah.
March 18th.
I think Miss duBois said something different.
Uh She said the 30th of October.
I got this from the Hall of Records, Steve.
She must have made a mistake.
Maybe not, Danno.
Maybe not.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
Yes, Lani? LANI: Duke is here with Miss Rawlins.
- Yes.
Send them in.
Steve, Danny, this is Cindy Rawlins.
Miss Rawlins, how do you do? Won't you sit down, please? Haven't I seen you before, Miss Rawlins? At the planetarium? I didn't know, uh, Rick was dead until we were driving in.
We'd like to know where you spent last night.
- Do I have to say? - No.
No, you're entitled to call a lawyer, if you wish.
- Have you read her her rights, Duke? - Yes.
You don't think I had anything to do with Rick's death.
Wanna talk about it? We had a fight.
Rick needed a job, so I went to an old boyfriend who agreed to hire him.
Then the more Rick thought about it, the more jealous he became.
Finally, he accused me of sleeping with Mel Burgess just to get the favor.
Yeah.
Go on.
Rick had a very explosive temper sometimes.
I left and went dancing.
I spent the night with a man I met at a disco.
Busy, aren't you? We'll need his name.
I don't know his name.
You don't know his name? I can't blame Rick for being jealous.
When did you give Makulu those files from the Motor Vehicle Department? I don't know what you're talking about.
Cindy, lying never solved anything.
Don't you know that? You ever see these? Yes.
- You made those copies, didn't you? CINDY: Yes.
- Why? - For research.
What kind of research was Makulu doing? Rick wasn't doing research.
I gave the file to Mel Burgess.
You gave them to Mel Burgess? Mel.
Mel.
There's been-- [WHISPERING.]
There's been a terrible mistake.
You look worried.
I think that my secretary mixed up your client's card with the man's who's just been murdered.
Rick Makulu.
My client's card? Yes, the one that I did a reading for.
[CHUCKLES.]
And you're the one who never makes an error.
There's no time for sarcasm.
This is serious.
[IN NORMAL VOICE.]
Who was your client? I'm afraid I can't reveal that, Agnes.
It wouldn't be ethical- Well, you'd better reveal it, and fast, and to the police.
Oh? Well, why? You saw what I saw in that chart He has insurmountable problems.
He's a killer.
Oh, come on.
Emotional problems, maybe.
But, uh-- But a killer? Mel, I am sure of this.
You're making a big mistake.
Did your client know that you asked me for a reading? He may have.
Well, maybe my secretary didn't make a mistake.
Maybe he broke into my house and switched the cards in my file with Makulu's.
But then how did he know that Makulu had Mars square Uranus? Now, you saw the card on my desk that day you came to my house.
Mel.
McGARRETT: Okay, we'll take the front.
The rest of you take the sides and the back.
No one leaves.
Let's go.
I'm sorry you came, Agnes.
You put Mak-- You put Makulu's name on your card in my file.
I had to make his death look like a suicide.
Throw McGarrett off.
Why did you kill all those people? Because in their chads they had to die.
But, you, Agnes, [BRIEFCASE CLICKS.]
you didn't have to die.
You could have lived, Agnes.
The stars are never wrong.
Never.
[AGNES GRUNTS.]
Mel, I can help you.
I can help you.
- I understand why-- - Sure.
[AGNES GRUNTING.]
AGNES: Oh, ow, you're hurting me.
Officer, check down below.
DANNY: He's got her someplace.
I saw her purse.
MEL: Stay right there, McGarrett.
MAN: Ladies and gentlemen, you have just entered a magical place.
The room, beneath a vaulted dome, will soon be transformed into a glittering panorama of the heavens.
The beauty of the skies, the stars and constellations, all in their proper places and perspectives, and even the seemingly mysterious movements of the planets will be displayed and made to perform for your pleasure and your edification.
Right here, in this theater of the stars, we expand our knowledge of the outer space to the farthest reaches, and we explore the corridors of time.
Backward to the beginnings, forward to unimaginable vistas of the future- And the stars come up.
The visual motions of the planets in the sky result from the combination of their own motions and the voyage of the Earth around the sun.
[FOOTSTEPS FROM ABOVE.]
How'd he get up there? Um, door outside to the left.
Danno, get it, will you? Now listen to me, I want you to turn the house lights on when I say so.
All right? [CROWD GASPS.]
McGARRETT: Ladies and gentlemen, please.
Please, stay calm.
There's no danger to you.
Hold it.
Nobody moves or she dies.
[CROWD GASPS.]
Ladies and gentlemen, please.
Please, do as he says, but remain calm.
That's very important.
Danno, stay where you are.
Burgess, it's all over.
Give yourself up.
We won't hurt you.
MEL: The Moon is void of course right now.
And you can't touch me.
McGARRETT: No, you're wrong, Burgess.
You're wrong.
The planet Mercury is retrograde.
You know that means your current plans cannot be fulfilled.
And the Moon has just entered your birth sign, Scorpio.
I'll prove it to you.
It's all over, Burgess.
Look up.
Look.
Look into the stars.
Release the lady and turn your weapon over to the officer.
Do it now.
[AGNES GRUNTS.]
Okay, Danno.
Book him.
McGARRETT: Are you all right now? - Almost.
You really did your homework.
Mr.
McGarrett, thank you.
You still don't believe in astrology, do you? No, I don't.
Strange, after what just happened in there.
What do you mean? Well, the stars saved my life, didn't they? Oh, did they? - I thought the coppers did.
- Ha, ha.
