Magnum, P.I. (1980) s01e13 Episode Script

All Roads Lead to Floyd

I just know if anyone can find my father, you can.
- It wasn't my fault.
- You will never drive that car again.
Why do you keep a man like that on your estate? You're the guy who caused my accident! I would hate to have something happen to him before our transaction.
Floyd.
! Floyd! Gentlemen, we- we hardly know each other.
Come.
Mr.
Mizamura, this is Mr.
Lewellen.
Mr.
Mizamura, it's always a pleasure, sir, to meet those whom I do business with.
Mr.
Mizamura would like to know when is the earliest you can deliver.
Saturday.
That'll give me one day for validation.
Mmm.
That will be satisfactory.
Mr.
Mizamura will be on a golfing tour of the outer islands until then and will contact you to arrange delivery upon his return.
- And I still get my forty cents on the dollar? - The agreement was 20.
I thought it was 30.
- Thirty? - That's a deal.
You bet.
I was wondering if you could arrange for me to get, oh, $2,000 in advance? Mr.
Mizamura says 1,000.
Well, that's very generous of you.
Thank you, and I'll see you Saturday.
Oh.
I don't trust him.
Keep an eye on him.
You were just lucky, T.
C.
just lucky.
Three aces in a row.
Hey, man, did you see that drop shot? Boop.
Drop shot? That was a luck shot.
The ball hit the net and fell into my court.
I don't care what it did.
It was still the match.
You know T.
C.
, if I didn't have to pick this client up at the airport, I'd take you back there right now and whip your behind.
You'll get your shot, next time Higgins goes out of town.
What makes you think we have to wait for Higgins to go out of town? Because you never ever invite me to play tennis unless Higgins is out of town.
Look, I can invite anybody over anytime I want.
Higgins does not run my life.
Then why do you still gotta sneak the car off the estate? I don't have to sneak anything! We have a deal.
I get unlimited usage.
- As long as you got gas money.
- I always have gas money, T.
C.
Yeah, except when you're ridin' with me.
Hey, man, what the hell are you doin'? What am I doing? What's he doing? Oh, dear.
Oh, this is terrible.
I'm so sorry.
I tried to stop in time, but I- I have trouble with my right leg and I couldn't get it to the brake fast enough.
Arthritis, you know.
Kind of runs in the family.
Ah.
My sister Emily had it.
It was on the left side, and that isn't bad for driving.
Well, I'm sure it's very inconvenient for you.
What an understanding young man you are.
Thank you.
Look, I don't think we need to involve the police in this.
Why don't you just give me the name of your insurance company, and I'll take care of the rest.
Oh, my, I knew this might happen.
What might happen? I knew the minute I canceled my coverage, something would go wrong.
You don't have any insurance? I had to give up something.
It was either the insurance payments or Stanley.
He's my husband- in the rest home where I'm going to now, as soon as I pick up my food stamps.
Stanley's in a rest home? I hope he remembers me today.
Well, hey, look, let's- let's just forget the whole thing.
I mean, accidents do happen.
What a wonderful person! Thank you.
You know, I don't think it looks so bad after all.
You could probably fix it yourself.
Yeah, probably.
It's such a beautiful car.
Whoever owns it must be very proud of it.
Well, bye-bye.
Oh, it's bad, Thomas.
You're telling me.
God.
Well, at least Higgins is out of town.
I'm not talkin' about the car.
I'm talkin' about my neck! I got whiplash! No, you don't! You couldn't do that with your neck if you had a whiplash.
Well, if you don't mind, I would like a second opinion from a doctor.
And would you give me that woman's insurance company, because I ain't gonna pay for this.
I can't do that.
What do you mean, you can't do that? Stanley's in a rest home.
Her name's Stanley? No! Stanley's her husband.
And she doesn't have insurance.
Thomas! Is Burnside there? This is Floyd Lewellen.
Oh, Burnside.
I've been thinking it over very carefully, and I've decided to meet up with you Sunday night after all.
Are you serious this time, Lewellen? Now, look, I know I skipped out on you once before, but, well, I was being shot at.
Now you can't blame a man for acting skittish when he's being shot at, can you? All right, Lewellen.
Sunday.
Don't be late.
What do you think he's doing? Maybe he's calling the supplier.
Pan Pacific Airlines.
May I help you? I'd like to, uh, confirm a reservation for Saturday.
Your name, please? Floyd Lewellen.
Yes, Mr.
Lewellen, you're confirmed.
Thank you.
I dropped T.
C.
at his office screaming he was going to sue me.
For all his size and strength, he sure could get shook up over something minor like a kink.
I was the one with the real pain.
I had a $60,000 car with a dented bumper.
Pan Pacific Flight 95 now arriving from San Francisco at Gate Seven.
Miss Lewellen? Mr.
Magnum? Yeah.
Thomas Magnum? I'm sorry I'm late.
I had a slight delay.
Oh, no, you're not late.
I'm just so thankful you could pick me up.
Did you just get off another case or something? Uh, no, not just this minute.
See, I had a little car trouble.
I'm sorry.
I don't usually meet my clients in my tennis clothes, Miss Lewellen.
Here, why don't you let me carry that for you.
Thank you.
Please, call me Cindy.
You know, I'm really confident about this, Mr.
Magnum.
I'm sure that you're gonna find my daddy.
Tom.
Why don't you call me Tom.
And I hope you're right.
Oh, I know I'm right.
All my friends in Kansas think so too.
You said you had some correspondence from your father.
Uh-huh.
Mr.
Doug Ival, report to Customs, please.
Here.
This is it? A postcard? Isn't that enough? Well, it doesn't give me much to go on.
You said that all you needed was some correspondence.
But I thought you must have had a whole stack of letters or something.
I mean, after ten years.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's the only thing I received from my father since he left.
And I thought it would be enough.
God, I- Hey, wait a minute.
Uh, don't get upset.
I mean, this is helpful.
This is very helpful.
I mean, this is a postcard from Oahu, right? So that means he's on Oahu, right? Well, then, we'll find him on Oahu, won't we? - Mr.
Magnum.
- Tom.
Tom.
I just know if anyone can find my father, you can.
Well, I'm gonna give it my best shot.
Oh, here it is.
Excuse me.
Debbie Whitney, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Debbie Whitney, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
I hope there's room for my luggage.
Hey, how'd you know this was my car? What else would a man like you drive? I know it's in here somewhere.
I've been carrying it with me ever since I received the postcard.
Ah, here it is.
That's a picture of my dad and me on my 16th birthday ten years ago.
Hmm.
He even looks a little familiar to me.
Twenty-seven hundred dollars.
! For a bumper? Thomas, they have to import these things.
I could go to Italy myself and get it cheaper.
Well, is it yea or nay? I can't keep Angelo waiting.
Yea.
Angelo, it's a go.
But I need it fast.
But he needs it fast.
Did you ever know an Italian to do anything slow? Angelo, hey, thanks a lot.
Say hello to Sarducci.
Yeah.
Ciao.
This place is so beautiful.
Hawaii is even more gorgeous than the travel brochures that I looked through before I came over here.
- Cindy's from Kansas.
- Oh, yeah.
No kidding? Hawaii is probably a little bit different than Kansas, huh, Cindy? Mm-hmm.
And the people are so open and friendly.
Well, I'll let you two get down to business.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Can I offer you a drink? Maybe an ice tea or a cold soda? How about a Shirley Temple? Do you have any bourbon? Bourbon? Yeah, sure.
- Yes, I'd like that on the rocks, please.
- One bourbon on the rocks comin' up.
- Thomas? - Maybe just a Shirley Temple for me.
I'll, uh, see you guys later.
You think I'm kind of weird 'cause I'm smiling all the time, don't you? No, I don't.
I think it's terrific.
You're so happy.
Well, I didn't always feel this way.
It's just been recently since I heard from my father.
I feel like I'm a new person since I found it within me to forgive him.
For what? For just picking up and leaving Mom and me ten years ago.
I mean, at first it was hard to understand how he could do something like that, but then Dad's always been a bit of a rogue.
Mom bad-mouthed him to me for years, and she probably was right about a lot of things that she said, but he is my father, and I can't help but believe that what he did, he did for a reason.
Cindy, I know how important this is to you, but I want you to understand that finding your father isn't gonna be that easy.
Oh, I understand, Tom.
But I just know we will.
Let me take another look at that postcard your father sent you.
Time-Way Travel would like to welcome all of you who are joining us on our three-day Waikiki fling.
In just a few minutes, I'll be telling you everything you need to know about the tour.
But first, why doesn't everybody help himself to his complimentary cocktails.
- That'll be 3.
50.
- Didn't you hear the man? Supposed to get a complimentary drink with the tour.
Yes, sir.
A mai tai, a chi-chi or a blue Hawaii.
I don't want no fruit cocktail.
I ordered a shot and a beer.
Yes, sir, that's two drinks, and they come to 3.
50.
Let me explain somethin' to you, son.
See, where I come from, a shot and a beer is one drink.
And a compliment is somethin' you don't never want to take back.
You understand what I'm sayin'? Good boy.
Excuse me.
Yes, may I help you? Yeah.
I thought this fellow here was supposed to be givin' this tour.
Oh, that's an old brochure.
He doesn't do the Waikiki fling.
That's no longer his tour.
Well, I- I wonder if you could tell me what tour he is givin'? See, he's an old friend of mine and I'd kinda like to surprise him.
No.
I'm sorry.
I don't know which islands he does now.
But why don't you check with our travel office? Thank you.
Mr.
Lewellen used to work here, but he's no longer with Time-Way Travel.
Oh, that's too bad.
I wanted him to head up our branch office.
Branch office? Yes.
What was your name again? Debbie.
Oh, Debbie.
Well, see, I'm with Sexxy Tours.
Don't let the name fool you.
Our founder's name was Charles Sexxy, that's with two "X's.
'' Of course, it doesn't hurt our business, especially with the singles set in California.
I'll bet.
But, uh, I don't think you want Floyd to head up your branch office.
Why not? His résumé was very impressive.
Apparently, he wasn't bondable.
Some kind of a problem in his background check.
Oh.
But his résumé was so impressive, Debbie.
Perhaps there's been some mistake.
Do you know where I might reach him? Well, we forwarded his last paycheck to his new employer, Oahu Greeters.
Oahu Greeters? What's that? We'll meet your mother at the airport with a lei, we'll have a fruit basket awaiting for her at her hotel, and when she leaves, we'll provide the champagne.
- Now, how much you wanna spend? - I don't wanna spend nothin'.
I'm lookin' for a Floyd Lewellen.
- Line forms to the rear.
- I heard he worked here.
Used to.
Just long enough to run up an $85 tab.
Then he phoned in sick and never showed again.
- Have you got an address on him? - Some motel.
But they said he checked out.
They said he stung them too.
Hmm.
Well, I owe him some money myself.
Sounds like he could use it.
Tell you what.
Why don't I pay his bill here- That way I'll take care of two birds with one stone.
I don't have any problem with that.
If you could just give me a little better idea of where I might find him.
The only thing I know about him is that he worked a part-time job at some hotel.
He worked for some traveling luau thing named, uh, John or Jack's, something like that.
Can I get you something? Is this where they hold Jack's Luau? just on Tuesday, Friday and Sundays.
And the rest of the week it's at the Royal Palm.
Oh, I was looking for Floyd Lewellen.
Would I find him there? No, not anymore.
jack cut him loose a couple of weeks ago.
He got fired? Well, I'm not sure.
I think he was skimming a little off the top.
He's embezzling? Ooh, that makes it sound so serious.
He was short on cash.
So that's why I got him introduced to the gift exchange.
- The what? - The gift exchange.
It's a money game.
You start by giving a gift of a thousand dollars, and when it's your turn to receive, you get over 50,000.
And the best part of it is the weekly meetings where you get bonuses for bringing in extra members.
Sounds like a pyramid club.
Oh, it's so much more.
It's a whole economic system.
Plus, an alternative energy source.
Hey, you should come to our party this afternoon.
I'll get a bonus, and you can see firsthand how everyone plays.
We don't have anything like this in Kansas.
Are you gonna play the game, Tom? No, I don't think so.
Why not? I think it sounds like a lot of fun.
I mean, a thousand dollars is a lot of money, but if we went in "halvsies.
" "Halvsies?'' Uh, Cindy, I think there's a little more involved here than just money.
Besides, we're here to look for your father, remember? Yeah, you're right.
I just thought we'd get into some of the action.
Listen, everybody.
Could I have your attention? I want you all to see who Vicki brought with her.
This is Bull.
Is he going to play? Well, I hope so.
I'm Louise.
And I just wanna say that I'm really getting off on you, Bull.
You are fantastic! I wanna play with you.
Are you sure you don't wanna play? It all looks so exciting.
I'm sure.
Let's go watch the ocean.
Okay.
Looks like he's just going to a party.
Good.
He'll be in there for a while.
So now we can eat.
I'm really surprised you came, Tom.
If I'd known you were here, I would've had Jill introduce you too.
I could've gotten a bonus.
Gee, I'm sorry.
It was just kind of a last-minute thing.
I had a friend who wanted to see what it was like.
Who's your friend? Oh, she went to the bathroom.
She? Vicki, I wanna talk to you.
Floyd! Floyd Lewellen? Floyd! Floyd! Floyd! Floyd? Floyd, wait! Don't run away! Somebody's chasing him with a gun.
Floyd! Well, I guess you don't want me to play no more.
I don't know who you are, mister, but I want you outta here! Believe me, I didn't plan to come along! Burnside put you onto me, didn't he? Burnside? Was he the one shooting at you? Those Japanese were not shooting at me.
They were shooting at Bull! Bull, the big guy at the party? Well, why is this Bull after you? - Who are you anyway? - I'm a private investigator, and I was hired by your daughter to find you.
Oh, now, wait a minute.
That's a cheap shot.
My daughter's in Kansas.
She was in Kansas.
She's here now.
You could have seen her if you hadn't run outta that house.
My daughter Cindy was at that party? - My Cindy? - Yes! You! You're the guy who caused my accident! Lewellen! Lewellen! Lewellen disappeared into the traffic so fast, for a moment, I wondered if he’d been run over.
No such luck.
So I was back to square one, and my only hope of getting to square two was finding this guy Burnside that Lewellen had mentioned.
But first I had to rescue Cindy from the party.
And then by the time I came out of the house, most of the shooting had stopped.
But it was kind of exciting with the people running around and everything.
But did you actually see anything? Um, no, I didn't.
I mean, like I said, it started when I was in the bathroom.
See, I came with a friend- And, uh, I better go find him.
It was nice talking to you.
Uh, miss, please? Where'd you go, Tom? You missed all the action.
No, unfortunately, I didn't.
just get in the car, Cindy.
We came in a taxi.
Uh, just get in the car.
You mean you found my father and he ran away? Well, he really didn't have much choice considering all those people shooting at him.
Well, who'd wanna shoot at Daddy, besides Mother? He's such a wonderful person.
Well, that guy Bull didn't seem to think so.
That guy at the party? He was shooting at my father? And me.
I was in the car with your dad.
And he ran away even after you told him I was here? Oh, no, Cindy, he was real glad to hear that.
Then why didn't he wanna see me? He was probably just running away from me.
Cindy, he wasn't running away from you.
I worked so hard to save my money to come over here just to find my daddy.
And then when I finally do, he doesn't wanna see me anymore.
Oh, no.
It's all right.
Don't cry.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to break down like that.
It's okay.
I don't mind.
It's kind of a nice contrast to the smile you usually wear.
Yeah, that's the smile that I'm talkin' about.
Well, I think, uh, maybe you'd like a drink, to relax you.
That sounds good.
Higgins has some wonderful bourbon in here.
I thought scotch was your drink, Magnum.
Higgins, you're back.
What a mind this man has.
Oh, you're Higgins.
Did you have a good time in England? Quite good, yes.
Thank you.
Where's the car? Oh, it's being tuned up.
Thank you.
It just had a tune-up.
I thought they were fixing the dent.
Uh, Cindy.
Dent? - There's a dent in the car? - Oh, yeah.
Somebody plowed into it from behind.
It's not that bad, though.
But it sure is expensive to fix.
Cindy.
Twenty-seven hundred dollars seemed like a lot to me- Cindy- Twenty-seven hundred dollars? Yeah, that's what I said.
It's wasn't my fault! You continue to drive a car that you do not own, do not rent and do not even wash.
And while you were driving that car, it suffered $2,700 worth of damage.
Had it been parked in the driveway of Robin Masters's estate where it belonged, it would have suffered none.
- It is your fault.
- I was hit from behind! Well, then at least the accident will go on their insurance.
Well- You were hit by an uninsured motorist? Higgins, I'm sure Robin has all that coverage on his insurance.
The important thing is to get the Ferrari fixed.
Let me tell you something.
This Angelo is really good.
We are not putting this accident on Robin Masters's insurance.
You will pay the damages.
Higgins, that's twenty-seven hundred dollars.
You have a choice, Magnum.
Either pay the cost of the repairs yourself, or you will never drive that car again! Why do you keep a man like that on your estate? Hi, guy.
The first note was from Cindy.
She said Higgins was going to the club and she'd asked if she could tag along.
She hoped I didn't mind.
And then she thanked me again for helping her and told me I was wonderful.
The second note was from Higgins.
I really can't repeat what he said.
Let me put it this way.
He didn't think I was wonderful.
Haven't we met before? Please to join Mr.
Mizamura as his guest for lunch.
You are acquainted with a certain Floyd Lewellen.
I have reason to believe that his life is in danger, and I am concerned for his safety.
Oh, that's very touching.
You mind telling me why? Mr.
Lewellen and I have a business arrangement.
I would hate to have something happen to him before our transaction is completed.
What kind of business arrangement? That should not concern you.
Suffice it to say, that he has agreed to deliver to me certain documents for resale, and that time is of the essence.
Oh.
So that's why your boys were shooting at me.
They were not shooting at you, but at the man shooting at Mr.
Lewellen.
- Oh, you're just looking out for him, huh? - Precisely.
- Well, then what do you want from me? - You drove off with him.
You have his car.
Obviously, you know where he is.
You may reach me at this number if you have any problems.
just make sure he shows up.
And if he doesn't? Mr.
Magnum, I am a businessman.
If he does, I will reward you.
If he doesn't, they will.
So I got back from 'Nam, came here to Hawaii, became manager of the club, and I just didn't have a desire to go back to the mainland.
I don't blame you.
Can you check- Cindy? Hi, Tom! Did you get my note? - Huh? - Did I do something wrong? No, of course not.
Well, you're looking at me so funny.
Huh? No, uh, you look great.
I mean, it's great that you- Can you check this for me? Sure.
Uh, I found it.
Yoshio Mizamura, international representative for Shimoda Transducers.
Says here he's been a member of the club for five years.
I've never seen him around here before.
I gathered he traveled a lot.
This man is looking for my father too? They have a deal for some documents that your father has.
What kind of documents would Lewellen have access to? I remember Daddy was always involved in very intricate things.
He's such a versatile man.
Maybe something at work- one of his jobs.
- What about the tour outfit? - No, there's nothing to lift.
- Huh? - Well, I mean, there's nothing that your father would have had access to except travel brochures.
Oh, reminds me.
I got that information on that Burnside fellow for you.
- Who's Burnside? - He's a friend of your father's, I think.
He was one of the men that was shooting at him? No, he wasn't.
Then I'm gonna go with you.
No.
No.
No, you're not.
You just stay here, Cindy.
I will take care of it.
I'll find your father.
I promise.
You stay here and get a tan.
Rick had run down seven Burnsides on the island.
But I knew this had to be the Burnside I was looking for.
I'd already tried the other six.
Clarence Burnside? Yeah.
Does the name Floyd Lewellen mean anything to you? Yeah, you bet your life I'm tryin' to track down Lewellen.
Why? Why? Well, that's not exactly any of your business, is it? Okay.
Thanks for the coffee.
Wait a minute.
Relax, Magnum.
Relax.
- You have any idea where he might be, huh? - Maybe.
I work, uh, in the witness relocation section.
Floyd's a protected government witness.
He's been relocated here through the alias program.
And he's driving me out of my mind.
- Why? What's he done? - The old guy's a con man.
He's always wheelin' and dealin', pullin' all kinds of shenanigans.
I'm assigned to protect him.
You know what it's like to look after a guy like that, always gettin' in trouble? - I'm afraid he's gonna blow his cover.
- I think he already has.
What? Well, some guy named Bull took some shots at him last night.
- You know where he is? - No.
I lost him again.
Look, I gotta find him really quick.
He's scheduled to testify at a trial on the 18th.
- Are the police after him? - No! No! Whatever you do, don't bring them into it, because then I'll have so much red tape I won't be able to cut through it in a month.
Lord knows how many shenanigans and cons he's pulled by now.
I'll never get him to court on the mainland if they get him.
I just got him out of a counterfeit charge.
And before that, stolen securities, cashing penny stocks.
- The guy's a real wacko.
The tour office.
- What? - Oh, nothing, nothing.
Look, if I find him, I'll give you a call.
Magnum, wait a minute.
Level with me.
You have an idea where he is? No, nothing really.
I just got some thoughts and I wanna check 'em.
You'll call me when you check 'em out? Yeah, I'll call you.
I promise.
You sure? I promise.
All right.
Thanks a lot.
You bet.
Bye.
Well, um, did you hear that? Sure did.
What are we gonna do now? Do now? We follow Magnum.
Peek-a-boo.
Daddy! Cindy.
Cindy! Oh, Cindy! Cindy, it's you! Oh, Cindy! I didn't believe my eyes.
How are you? Oh, I didn't think I'd ever find you again.
I didn't think I'd ever find you either.
How did you know to look here for me? Well, I had a little chat with your pals Mizamura and Burnside.
What the hell did you talk to Burnside for? Well, first I couldn't figure out what kind of documents you'd have that Mizamura would want.
But then after I talked to Burnside and found out about the counterfeit charges- - Counterfeiting? - I figured out what it was you'd have access to that Mizamura was interested in- airline tickets.
You're validating airline tickets that you're stealing from this office to sell to Mizamura.
- What are you trying to do? - I'm trying to tie up the loose ends, Floyd.
You know, like those TV detectives.
You're in trouble with the law, aren't you, Daddy? Floyd? Is that why you ran away from Mom and me? Floyd, don't you think it's about time you told your daughter the truth? I wouldn't know where to begin.
Well, I think you could begin by telling her you're a relocated government witness.
Is that the truth? Yes.
You see.
You see.
I told Mom that whatever you did, you did for a reason.
! That wasn't the reason, Cindy.
But if the government had to hide you for your own protection- That part of it was true, yes.
But I could've taken you and your mother with me, whether I testified or not.
But I didn't, because I knew I'd end up walking' out on her 'cause things hadn't been very good between us for a long time.
You just left me behind.
Oh, no, no.
If I'd have thought for a minute that I could've provided as good a home for you as your mother could, believe me, I'd have taken you with me.
But I never stopped missing you.
And I never stopped loving you.
And I never will, not even when they throw me in the jail.
Floyd, all you gotta do is put the tickets back in the safe and Burnside will never know.
Burnside.
! Burnside is the reason I had to pull this deal.
! He promised me a new life.
Hardly gave me enough to survive on, much less a new life! Tell me something.
If you're a relocated witness, why didn't they change your name? Well, it's another one of Burnside's brilliant ideas.
I had an alias for a while, but they almost caught me.
So he thought they wouldn't look up a relocated witness who was using his own name.
- Who'd you testify against? - The Klan.
Is that who you're testifying against in this upcoming trial? What trial? Burnside said that there was a new trial that you were supposed to testify at.
I don't know anything about it.
I think we'd better get out of here fast.
Well, what's wrong, Tom? We got a squealer on our hands, that's what's wrong.
And nobody squeals on the brotherhood and gets away with it.
Ain't that right, Burnside? You're right.
Always right, Bull.
All right, Burnside, how much you gettin' out of this? Probably not any more than what Floyd got for spying on the boys back home.
It's not much.
Every Monday night there you was, Floyd, just like a true brother.
Some of them boys even missed you when you left.
Well, I think it's time we took you back home where you belong.
Can't you leave these two out of this? Take me, but leave my daughter.
- That can be arranged, Floyd.
- You're lying.
You're gonna kill all of us, aren't you? Let's say we all leave here and go talk about this somewhere else.
Let's go.
Move it.
Mr.
Magnum, I trust you were bringing Mr.
Lewellen to my meeting.
Who's them fellas? That is precisely what I was about to ask you.
Well, they have your tickets.
What tickets? "What tickets?'" Come on, Burnside.
Don't be coy with Ironman Mizamura.
Magnum! All right.
! Hold it.
! - Right there! - Hands up against the wall.
! Spread 'em.
- Daddy.
Hello, Officers.
You're probably wondering what's going on here.
I can't believe how nice the judge was to all of us after you explained it to him.
Well, you can't beat the truth.
Well, it wasn't all quite the truth.
You did get just a little creative concerning my participation in the matter.
Oh, not really.
I just convinced the judge that your desperate situation as an unprotected relocated witness forced you into an illegal deal with Mizamura.
Ah.
Besides, I think he was a lot more interested in Bull and Burnside than being hard on you.
Let's face it.
It's pretty hard for anyone to turn his back on a story about a father-and-daughter reunion.
Thank you for bringing a very important man back into my life, Tom.
There you go.
It's as good as new.
Angelo did a hell of a job on her.
Yeah, it looks great.
Well, Higgins, what do you think? On the surface it appears adequate enough.
Adequate? It's perfect.
What's that? The bill.
Twenty-five hundred bucks.
I got a couple hundred knocked off 'cause Angelo and I are buddies.
Great.
I assume that bill has to be paid upon delivery of the car.
Of course.
Rick, could I wait a day or two? Thomas, you said you could pay.
Never mind.
This is one bill I'll be quite happy to pay.
What? I promised Higgins that if I couldn't pay the bill, I wouldn't drive the Ferrari.
I'll pay that bill if you please, Higgins.
Well, I do owe Magnum for finding my father, and my father was responsible for his accident.
Which one was that? Hey, where'd you get all that money? At the gift exchange, when I went to the powder room.
There was one heck of a crap game in there.
Gift exchange?
