Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 1, Episode 14 - He Kane Hewa' Ole - full transcript
Five-0 searches for identity and motive when a box with a severed head falls out of an overturned stolen car during a police chase--a task made more difficult when the driver dies at the scene.
Back in the day,
this used to be my beat.
- District 5.
- Mm-hmm.
Every good cop
knows his neighborhood.
I used to spend 60-plus hours
a week here,
and most of it
was to get to know the people.
- Earn their trust, right?
- Mm-hmm.
If people trust you,
then they'll open up
when the time comes.
Makes a cop's job
a lot easier.
You ever wish you'd chosen
another line of work?
Every day.
Never.
All units, suspect pursuit
west on Kamehameha Highway,
passing Makalapa Road.
That's only a couple blocks
from here.
Can we go?
Well, you got the badge
and the wheel.
Whoa.
This is Kelly and Kalakaua,
Five-O, we're on it.
SAT NAV VOICE:
4.6 miles to exit 15.
You did pass the HPD test
for pursuit driving, yeah?
There's a test?
4.2 miles to exit 15.
3.8 miles to exit 15.
Traffic ahead.
- Redirecting.
- Put your hands where I can see 'em!
When possible,
please make a U-turn.
Let me see your hands!
Redirecting.
When possible,
please make a U-turn.
Chin, I got blood.
What is it?
Oh, my God.

Yo.
"Yo."
What happened
to the courtesy knock?
Oh, uh, I think
it got played out
with the high-five
and the bro-hug.
I could...
you want me to do it now?
Happy?
What's in the box?
I got you a present.
You got me a present?
Yeah, I wanted to put
a smile on your face.
Really?
No, UPS left it for you.
You know anybody
in Bettendorf, Iowa?
Yeah. Finally.
So, uh, what is this?
I, uh, I've been looking
for a master cylinder
for my dad's car.
That piece of junk
in the garage?
Hey, all right,
that piece of junk in the garage
was my dad's pride and joy,
and he bought it for us
to fix up together.
We just never got around to it.
Okay.
So you thinking
about getting it started again?
Yeah, I'm doing okay, too.
I found this place in Iowa that
do parts for Mercury Marquis,
so, you know...
Man.
You know,
I am not a gearhead,
but that does not look like
a master cylinder to me.
Yeah, that's because
it's a clutch plate.
Do me a favor.
Am I crazy
or does that say
"1974 master cylinder
for a Mercury Marquis"?
You bought it online?
Yeah, I bought... Why?
What, are you a schmuck?
What's the matter with you?
You don't order anything
off the Internet.
Danny, it's the 21st century.
Says the guy with
no master cylinder.
All right, you got a point.
McGarrett.
Yes, we're on our way.
Looks like a bad wreck.
CHiPs. Reminds me of CHiPs.
You remember CHiPs?
Of course I
remember CHiPs.
You know I always thought that
would be the sweetest gig.
You get to ride a
motorcycle all day,
solving crimes,
you go on chases.
No, n-no, you know, the
mortality rate for motor cops
is five times higher
than regular people.
Danny, it's a
TV cop fantasy.
Why you got to ruin
it with statistics?
All right, fine,
it's a TV cop fantasy.
In my TV cop fantasy,
I am Erik Estrada,
you're the other guy.
I don't think so, baby.
What do we got?
HPD says it started as
a routine traffic stop,
then the kid gunned
it and took off.
Is he alive?
Barely.
EMS took a while
to stabilize him.
They're working
on getting him out now.
Got an I.D.?
Not yet, but, uh,
we ran the plates and found
out the car's a rental.
Kono's reaching out right now
to the car rental company
to get the driver's info.
Wait a second.
Call said this was
a crime scene.
This looks
like a traffic fatality.
Well, we're here because
it's about to get interesting.
We got a John Doe.
Actually, scratch that--
we got part of a John Doe.
What it is, Max?
Holy geez.
Something you don't see
every day.
White male,
approximately 30.
Cloudiness of the cornea
puts T.O.D.
at about six to eight hours ago.
There's not a lot of blood
in the box.
Minimal capillary hemorrhaging
indicates
postmortem dismemberment.
You'll notice the
irregular marks
alongside the
posterior surface
of the C3 vertebra.
Really, Steve?
Most likely caused by a saw.
You ever see
anything like this before?
Murder and mutilation, uh,
as an isolated incident, no.
It's a serial killer thing.
Well, the head
could be a trophy.
They just pulled the driver out,
but EMS
doesn't think
he's going to make it.
Hey, guys.
What's your name?
Look, we found the head.
Okay, why'd you kill him?
Who is he?
Just give me a name.
Who is the guy?
Ming-húa.
What did he say?
Ming-húa-- it's a name in Mandarin.
Ming-húa.
Ming-húa-- is that,
is that your name?
Is that you?
Is it the dead guy?
Who's Ming-húa?
Tell me,
who's Ming-húa?
Is it you?
Great, now we got
two John Does.
And no answers.
Spoke to the rental car
company.
Turns out the renter
is a local.
His name's
Spenser Owens.
Okay, doesn't look
like Spenser's
our driver
or our victim.
No, he's alive and well.
No priors, not even
a speeding ticket in the system.
HPD said he reported
the car stolen this morning,
and I have officers
bringing him over
for a statement.
Let's just assume the driver
is the murderer, okay?
He put a head in a box, he went
for a cruise in a stolen car.
Where was he going?
GPS was damaged
during the accident.
Maybe I can pull
something off it, though.
Get a point of origin,
destination.
Hey.
All right, so I ran
prints on our driver
and the ones
found on the box
through AFIS, TSA,
and Immigration,
but I still came
up with nothing.
Driver spoke Mandarin,
right?
Maybe he was illegal.
That would explain why
he's not in the system.
Okay, what about
our John Doe #2?
You mean Jack?
You got an I.D.?
No, Ja-- his head
was in a box-- Jack.
That just ain't
right, bro.
Too soon?
Little bit.
Okay, what do you know
about him?
Uh, besides
the fact
that his eyes were blue,
nothing, but Max said
he's done posting the
body and the head, so...
we should head over.
Okay.
We need to I.D. these guys,
figure out what's going on.
Chin, you take the car.
Kono, talk to this Spenser
guy who rented the car.
We'll go talk to Max.
"Jack"?
- You have zero sense of humor. Zero.
- That's not true.
I... It's bad, Danny.
Spenser,
you're a local.
What are you doing
renting a car?
Mine was in the shop.
I've been working nights
on a loft conversion
off Farrington, so I didn't
even realize the car was gone
till I left work this morning.
I see you filed
a police report.
Yes, that's the first thing
I did.
Report says that you left
the keys in the car.
I'm an idiot.
I lose everything,
so I left them under the visor.
Did you also happen
to leave a box in the car
before it was stolen?
A box?
No, I... I didn't leave
anything in the car.
Did you use the GPS?
No, I did not use the GPS.
Look, can you please tell me
what's going on?
Yeah.
We found your car.
Great.
You get the guy who stole it?
Something like that.
Do you recognize
this man?
No.
What about him?
Wow.
No, ma'am.
What about the name Ming-húa?
Sorry.
I-I wish I could be
of more help.
Okay.
Thank you.
I ran your driver's
dental records.
Cross-referenced
with the name Ming-húa.
Nothing showed up in the system.
I also talked
to my colleagues
on the other islands,
and they report
nothing in terms of similar M.O.
Maybe it was his first kill.
Yeah, either that
or he's done
a good job of covering
his tracks so far.
Doesn't the
HPD have
a tattoo database
they use to I.D. suspects?
Why, you don't think
that says "mom" in Chinese?
Not exactly.
It's Triad.
This guy was
in a gang.
Max, what else you got?
Noticed traces of grease and
motor oil under his fingernails.
There's a lot
of wear and tear
on his hands
for a guy his age.
Yeah, signs of manual labor.
Like hacking a guy's
head off with a saw?
Obviously, for our...
smaller victim, uh,
there were no fingerprints
to be had
or identified.
No hits on
the dental.
But I did run blood
and tissue samples
to Tox, as well
as reference samples to DNA.
I will let you know
when I have those results.
Hey, I just got off
the phone with McGarrett.
Still no I.D.s
on our two John Does.
And I ran faces
through Missing Persons.
Nothing there.
All right.
What about the guy
who rented the car?
Just your average victim
of an auto theft.
Didn't give us anything useful.
Have faith, cuz.
The case is
hardly cold.
What are you doing
with the GPS?
Just watch.
It's alive.
All right, let's see if we can
get any data off of it.
Ah.
Ooh.
All right, looks like there
was one address inputted--
11878 Keawe Street.
It's an office building--
couple dozen businesses,
multiple employees.
Here's a list.
Now based on the time
the address was entered,
I'd say Keawe Street was
our driver's final destination.
No pun intended.
Max, go ahead.
You're on speaker.
In analyzing the isotope ratios
of oxygen and hydrogen
in the driver's hair,
I've linked him
to the drinking water supply
in the Waipahu area.
Wait. Spenser said
his car was stolen
off of Farrington.
That's right. Farrington
goes straight through Waipahu.
That makes sense.
There's a pocket
of Chinese immigrants
that lives right there.
Great work, Max.
Thank you.
How's your Mandarin?
He recognize our vic?
Yeah. He says the kid
comes in here all the time.
He works at a salvage yard
couple of blocks
down the street.
Hey, you don't see many
of those
on the island.
What's this, a '57?
Hey, you speak English?
Yes.
We need to ask you
some questions.
My grandson, Ming-húa.
Ming-húa...
Hey, Ming-húa.
You like action figures? Huh?
Me, too.
Me, too, buddy.
Wait a minute.
I had one just like this.
My dad got me one
just like this
when I was about your age.
Let's see
if we can fix him up here.
Dung.
Good as new.
Here you go.
Sir, do you know
where the boy's father is?
Is this him?
What's happened?
Where's my son?
Max.
Mr. Chi, when you're ready,
we'd like to ask you
some questions.
Mr. Chi, we found
your son in
a stolen car,
the victim's head in a...
in a box.
No.
It's not possible.
Han could never
do these things, no.
What did Han do for work?
He work for me... on cars.
When was the last time
you saw your son?
Yesterday morning.
He was...
he was very excited...
He said, man gave him
a $1,000 job.
What man? Did he
give you a name?
No.
He said
that man said,
you make delivery. That's all.
He good man. He...
He take good care
for Ming-húa.
If he was was a good man, why
was he running from the police?
What's going on?
They're here
illegally.
Seven years ago,
we come here
to find new home,
to find new life.
Han work very hard
for his family.
He would never kill any person.
If that's true,
we'll prove that.
So, I-I want to know something.
Tell me, what is it
that makes you turn
into a softie?
What is that supposed to mean?
What? You just told this guy
that you're gonna make sure
his son is proven innocent.
And I'm just curious,
what happens when you are wrong?
The last words out
of Han Chi's mouth
were his son's name,
okay? Ming-húa.
I mean,
does that sound like a person
that goes around
cutting people's heads off?
Son of Sam liked dogs.
Norman Bates loved his mother.
That's a movie, Danny.
I can give you more
non-cinematic references
if you like.
I'm just saying,
I don't think Han's our guy.
Oh, well, good.
Then it's a wrap.
Hey, you know what I mean?
Let's just go get a plate lunch
and call it a day.
There's nothing
in Han Chi's autopsy
that ties him to the murder.
Okay? Which means
there's no hard evidence,
which you like
to say, right?
Danny, as far
as we know,
Han Chi never even
met the victim.
The guy's driving around
with a head in his car, Steven.
Okay? Just a head.
A grande cabeza.
The cops go to pull him over,
and he runs.
Yeah, the guy's
in the country illegally, Danny.
He's gonna get deported
if he stops.
I mean, he's
got a kid here.
What are you talking about?
See? Stop.
You're done because now I see
what's going on.
Why is it that every time
somebody's father is involved,
you get all goofy? Yeah...
I'm not getting goofy. It's got
nothing to do with my father.
I'm telling you,
every time we get
in a situation like this,
you lose all objectivity.
It's got nothing to do...
It's call transference, my friend.
Oh, okay. Now I didn't know
I was traveling in a car
with Dr. Sigmund Freud.
♪ You don't have to save
everybody. ♪ You don't.
That's all. Okay.
You done?
If you've learned something.
I'll take a "yes" there
if it'll shut you up.
Somebody offered Han $1,000
to deliver a package.
He took the job and
delivered the package
so he could put food on
the table and feed his family.
But he was just the
messenger, Danny.
The guy who hired Han
to deliver the package--
that's the killer. That's
the person we're looking for.
Got tox results
back on our severed head.
Lab found elevated levels
of lead in his blood.
Which could mean our official
C.O.D. is a gunshot wound.
Exactly.
Also found traces
of iodine-131.
Iodine?
Yeah, it's radioactive.
Our John Doe was being treated
for thyroid cancer.
Based on these levels,
most likely dosed
within the week.
All right.
So, what's our next move?
I don't know.
What would you do, rook?
Hmm.
Uh, I'd start canvassing
our local hospitals
and oncology wards.
See if anyone
recognizes our vic.
Okay.
Um... oh, you know,
Hawaii Medical Center West
has the best oncology
ward on the island.
Yeah, they do, don't they?
Hey, look,
I can, uh...
I can handle
it if you want.
I mean, if you're
not comfortable.
No, no. I'll go with.
You sure?
Yeah. I'll be fine, kid.
Hey.
Any luck?
Oh, waiting
for the hospital administrator.
The nurses won't release
any information
without approval or a warrant.
Patient confidentiality and all.
Right.
Did you touch base
with McGarrett?
Yeah. He thinks the driver
was just the messenger,
not the killer.
Other than that,
they got nothing.
You having second thoughts
about coming?
I told you I'm fine.
Really? 'Cause that's
the third time you hit
the elevator button.
Second.
How's this?
I'll go wait
at the nurses' station.
I'll meet you at the lobby.
Hey, I'm a cop, remember?
Sometimes you got
to go places and see people
you're not necessarily
comfortable with.
It's just part of the job.
Okay. Whatever you say, cuz.
I'll go see
what's taking so long.
Be right back.
Chin.
Malia.
Uh... it's great to see you.
Um, yeah.
Great to see you, too.
Uh, so, what-what
are you doing here?
Um, Kono and I are working
on a John Doe case.
Whoa. Kono's here.
I'd-I'd love to see her.
Oh, yeah, well, I'm sure
she'd love to see you, too.
Uh, look, I...
Look, I...
Ah, you-you first.
Well, I just...
I think this is the first time
we've seen each other since...
It is.
You look amazing.
Thank you.
You're wearing it.
Well, you told me
to keep it, so...
I did.
Listen, I hope you know
that everything I did
was to protect you.
I didn't want
your protection, Chin. I...
When it ended between us...
everyone thought I was the one
that left you.
That really hurt.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Malia.
Kono.
How are you?
Great.
So, uh, what are
you doing here?
Well, actually, um,
maybe you can help us.
We're trying to identify
a homicide victim,
might have been a
cancer patient here.
Oh, my God.
That's Henry.
Chin?
His name was Henry Duncan.
35 years old. He was a high
school physics teacher.
Emergency contact listed n
his file was his wife Nicole.
Kono put in a
call to the house,
but all she got
was a busy signal.
Nobody has
a busy signal anymore.
It means something's wrong.
Chin, get us the address.
We're on the way.
Ill text it.
Nicole?
Nicole Duncan?
Clear in here.
Nicole's gone, but come
check this out.
We got, uh, blood splatter
on the walls.
And a broken heel.
Probably came off
in a struggle.
Blood's high velocity,
consistent of a gunshot wound.
This could be where
Henry Duncan was murdered.
Or his wife.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right. Thank you.
Okay, uh, according to her boss,
Nicole Duncan did not
show up for work today.
I got alerts out.
We got her credit cards,
cash, cell phone.
All right, all signs
are pointing to Nicole
joining her husband
in the victim category.
All right.
If we can't find her,
at least we can find out
who they spoke to last.
WOMAN'S VOICE:
You've reached Hawaiian Airlines
flight information.
Airline computer.
Okay, hang on.
Uh, what is it... star 69.
Dial star 69 and see about
the last incoming call.
Hello?
Hey, Jimmy?
I think you have
the wrong number.
Who's this?
Robert Rovin. Who's this?
Oh, wrong
number. Sorry.
Hold on. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
What you got?
Robert Rovin.
I knew that name
sounded familiar. Robert Rovin.
He's one of the guys
on Chin's list.
GPS destination.
Okay, he's got
an investment firm
on the tenth floor of
that building on Keawe Street.
Where Han Chi was going.
Yeah, with Duncan's head.
Are you sure?
Okay, yeah.
We're on our way now.
What is it?
Chin ran background
on Robert Rovin.
Okay, and it turns out that he's
related to our head in the box.
He's Henry Duncan's
father-in-law.
Nicole's father?
Yeah. Since he never filed
a missing persons report,
that means one of two things--
either he knows
what's going on,
or we are on our way
to make a death notification.
Henry was murdered?
Do you know who did it?
That's what we're working on
right now.
My daughter?
What about, uh, Nicole?
I'm afraid she's missing.
What? Missing?
What do you mean, she's missing?
We haven't found her yet,
but I have my task force
and every available police
officer looking for her.
Ah...
Look, um, we know
this is difficult for you.
Please, if you can,
you just tell us when's the last
time you spoke to your daughter?
I-I, um...
I called her a few days ago.
Okay, um,
by any chance, did she mention
a trip that she was planning?
No, no. That's impossible.
Henry was sick.
He... he was fighting cancer.
He spent most of his time
at the hospital.
Could she have gone
someplace by herself?
No. She wouldn't have left him
alone, uh, during chemo.
When was the last time
you spoke to Henry?
Monday. We-We, uh...
We met for dinner.
Anything strange
about that night?
Other than the fact
that his disease
was sucking the life
out of him, no.
Oh...
I can't lose my little girl.
She's all I have left.
We're going to get
to the bottom of this.
Do either of you
have any children?
Yeah, I do. I have a daughter.
Then you'll understand
the lengths you'll go to
as a parent
to protect your children.
Gentlemen, I've been
expecting this call,
so please,
if you'll excuse me....
Um, listen, we're
going to let you know
as soon as we hear something.
Thank you.
Really quickly, I have one
quick question for you.
You ever seen this man before?
No, I haven't.
Why?
We have reason
to believe that he was
on his way here
last night.
Well, if he was,
I had no idea, so...
Please.
Uh, excuse me.
Yeah, of course.
That was interesting.
You see how panicked he got
when he got that phone call?
See how he was talking
about his daughter?
Yeah. "The lengths you would
go to protect your children."
Tell you what,
that cat knows something.
He just did a bad job
of hiding it.
I'm going to call Kono.
We'll sit on Rovin,
see what he's up to.
All right.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
How fast can she get here?
♪ ♪
Whoa, whoa. Not
so close, Wilcox.
Don't tell me how
to tail a suspect.
And if this was CHiPs,
I'd be Estrada.
You'd be Wilcox.
I don't think so.
What's he up to?
Looks like he's got company.
It's a money drop.
Gun! Gun! Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Hold on!
Where'd he go?
Danny!
Spenser Owens.
He rented the Mustang
that Chi was driving.
Hey, hey.
Listen to me. Hey.
Where's Nicole? You need
to tell us where Nicole is.
Huh? Can you hear me?
Listen to me!
Where's Nicole?
He can't die.
If anything goes wrong,
they'll kill my daughter. I...
I just sent Owens' gun
off to ballistics
in case we find Duncan's body.
Hopefully,
we can match it up to a slug.
All right, I want deep
background on Owens--
all known associates,
addresses, the whole bit.
So you've never
seen this guy before?
No, I never saw him before.
The only contact
I had with this guy
was over the phone.
He said he and his
associates had Nicole.
He said, uh, Henry tried
to escape, so they killed him,
but Nicole is was still alive,
and if I ever wanted
to see her again,
I had to give
him $5 million.
Okay. So you never thought
to call the police?
He told me he'd kill her
if I told anyone,
so he told me to
prove he was serious,
he was going
to send me a package.
But I never got anything.
I had him.
I had him
and I let him go.
He wasn't even a suspect.
You did your job.
Hey.
Don't.
Hey.
You're not psychic.
You can't read people's minds.
I should have known
he was lying.
That comes with time
and experience, Kono.
Look, we all
make mistakes.
You got to learn
to live with that,
because that's part of the job.
She all right?
She will be.
Hey, guys, come here.
What do you got?
What is it?
Blowflies.
Usually find them
around dead bodies.
Nicole?
Here we go.
Looks like we found
the rest of Henry Duncan.
All right, uh, male.
Gunshot wound to the chest.
No, no, no.
He doesn't need...
No!
Hey, hey, hey.
You got to find my daughter!
You've got to find her!
Get him out of here.
My daughter. God.
Listen to me.
Listen to me now.
When Spenser does not return
with that money, all right,
whoever he's working with is going
to know that this went bad...
and then Nicole's dead.
Nicole?
Nicole Duncan.
Clear.
Clear.
Clear.
She's not here.
He must have stashed her
someplace else.
Call HPD, tell them
Nicole might be being held
at a secondary location.
And get that saw over
to the crime lab, okay?
I want to make sure that blood
doesn't belong to Nicole.
Looks like our boy
was taking a trip.
Pretty sure he was
planning a vacation
once he got that
ransom money.
Hey, Chin, listen, find out
if Spenser Owens purchased any
overseas airline trips recently.
Hey, tell him
to call Hawaiian Airlines.
Uh, cross-reference
any itineraries
of female passengers
or traveling companions.
You get that?
I'm on it.
What are you thinking?
I am thinking that Nicole
is definitely involved, right?
But I don't think she's
traveling under her own name.
I think she's a little too smart
for that.
Smart enough
to stage her own kidnapping?
Yeah, I think so.
A little help from Spenser.
Right? I mean,
let's think about it.
The guy has never committed
a crime in his entire life.
And this--
this beautiful place--
is this where
you'd bring a hostage?
That's pretty slim.
No.
I'll tell you
what's not slim.
What's not slim is
that he's got his bags packed.
She made a call from her house
to Hawaiian Airlines, and
we have champagne.
Champagne?
Yeah.
Champagne with bubbles.
Poured recently.
Look at you.
Why was he drinking champagne
if he hasn't gotten
the money yet?
I wonder what shade
Nicole wears.
Chin, go ahead.
Yeah, you were right.
Looks like Spenser purchased two
first class tickets to Paris.
Paris, France. France has no
extradition treaty with the U.S.
Yeah. He's traveling
with a female companion
by the name of Erin Barrett,
but I can't find
any information on her.
Oh, you won't.
It's an alias.
How'd you get to be so smart?
MAN
This is the final boarding call
for Flight 1182
bound for Paris.
Spenser, where are you?
I've been leaving messages.
Baby, I'm worried.
The plane's about to leave.
This is the final boarding call
for Flight 1182 bound for Paris.
You know, if statistics
are anything to go by,
flying's actually the safest
mode of transportation.
Excuse me?
Well, you seem nervous,
that's all.
I'm waiting for somebody.
- Oh.
- I don't want to miss my plane.
The thing is, uh... Nicole,
that, uh,
we-we know everything.
Or should I say Erin?
Oh, um, I don't think
Spenser's going to make it.
Actually, I'm positive
he's not gonna make it.
The slug we pulled out of
your husband's body was a match
to the gun that Spenser had
on him, and the thing is,
it wasn't just Spenser's prints
that we found on the gun.
Yours were there, too, Nicole.
I'm just curious
about one thing.
Um, how long...
Uh, how long were you
having an affair with Spenser
before you decided
to kill your husband?
And why did you, uh... why did
you fake your own kidnapping?
I mean, your husband
was already dying of cancer.
I couldn't get five million
out of my father
if he died that way.
Wow!
That's... That's cold.
So what about Han Chi?
Where does he fit
in all of this?
Who?
Who? What, are you an owl?
Han Chi. He's the
guy that you paid
to bring the head of your
ex-husband to your father.
I don't know.
Just some day laborer
Spenser hired
who used to cut his lawn.
You just figured you'd, uh...
you'd use him again.
Spenser wanted somebody
who didn't ask any questions.
And this guy needed the work.
Spenser rented him a car,
plugged the address
into the GPS.
All he had to do
was drop off the box.
Right, when he didn't,
Spenser reported the car stolen,
and then you figured
that we'd think
that Han was the killer.
If that guy hadn't messed up,
we'd be in Paris right now,
and he'd have some money
in his pocket.
He'd also be
an accomplice to a murder.
But Han Chi is dead now
because of you.
And you know what else?
A little boy lost a father today
because you wanted
to take the easy way out.
I really, really hope
that you spend the rest
of your life
rotting in a jail cell
thinking about that.
Are you done?
Am I done?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm done.
Hey, Danny?
Yeah.
You need to get this woman
away from me.
You coming?
No. You go.
I'll catch up.
Okay.
Please.
I'm glad we could prove
that Han Chi was innocent.
Thank you.
For everything
you have done for my son.
There's one last thing.
What is it?
It's a letter
signed by the
governor of Hawaii.
It states
that she's personally expediting
your citizenship papers.
You're gonna be
a U.S. citizen.
You and your family.
I... I have something for you.
What is this?
Open.
Master cylinder,
'74 Mercury Marquis.
You need help putting in,
you call me.
Please.
Xie xie.
No.
Thank you.
Estrada was a bad bitch, man.
Yup. That's why there's no way.
Wait a minute.
Why can't I be Estrada?
In a world where I didn't exist,
you could be whatever you want.
That world sounds lovely.
It's logistics,
anyway, Danny.
You know, I mean,
Estrada's got dark hair.
Wilcox is the blonde.
I know.
I know,
but ladies loved Estrada.
Case in point, bub.
Please. Please stop.
You're making a fool
of yourself.
Okay? Just stop.
I'm just saying.
No. Just listen to
what I'm saying, man.
I have more in common
with Estrada. It's just...
Like what? What do you have
in common? Like a nickname?
'Cause I didn't know
you had a nickname.
I have a nickname,
and so did Ponch.
That's ridiculous.
Just 'cause
I call you Danno
doesn't make you Ponch.
Can we just both be Estrada?
That's fine.
What are you
guys watching?
CHiPs marathon.
I never heard of it.
I used to watch this show
as a kid.
Got me interested
in riding bikes.
Ooh, that guy's
pretty hot.
The dark one, right?
No. The blonde.
Oh, that's me.
this used to be my beat.
- District 5.
- Mm-hmm.
Every good cop
knows his neighborhood.
I used to spend 60-plus hours
a week here,
and most of it
was to get to know the people.
- Earn their trust, right?
- Mm-hmm.
If people trust you,
then they'll open up
when the time comes.
Makes a cop's job
a lot easier.
You ever wish you'd chosen
another line of work?
Every day.
Never.
All units, suspect pursuit
west on Kamehameha Highway,
passing Makalapa Road.
That's only a couple blocks
from here.
Can we go?
Well, you got the badge
and the wheel.
Whoa.
This is Kelly and Kalakaua,
Five-O, we're on it.
SAT NAV VOICE:
4.6 miles to exit 15.
You did pass the HPD test
for pursuit driving, yeah?
There's a test?
4.2 miles to exit 15.
3.8 miles to exit 15.
Traffic ahead.
- Redirecting.
- Put your hands where I can see 'em!
When possible,
please make a U-turn.
Let me see your hands!
Redirecting.
When possible,
please make a U-turn.
Chin, I got blood.
What is it?
Oh, my God.
♪ Hawaii Five-O 1x14 ♪

Yo.
"Yo."
What happened
to the courtesy knock?
Oh, uh, I think
it got played out
with the high-five
and the bro-hug.
I could...
you want me to do it now?
Happy?
What's in the box?
I got you a present.
You got me a present?
Yeah, I wanted to put
a smile on your face.
Really?
No, UPS left it for you.
You know anybody
in Bettendorf, Iowa?
Yeah. Finally.
So, uh, what is this?
I, uh, I've been looking
for a master cylinder
for my dad's car.
That piece of junk
in the garage?
Hey, all right,
that piece of junk in the garage
was my dad's pride and joy,
and he bought it for us
to fix up together.
We just never got around to it.
Okay.
So you thinking
about getting it started again?
Yeah, I'm doing okay, too.
I found this place in Iowa that
do parts for Mercury Marquis,
so, you know...
Man.
You know,
I am not a gearhead,
but that does not look like
a master cylinder to me.
Yeah, that's because
it's a clutch plate.
Do me a favor.
Am I crazy
or does that say
"1974 master cylinder
for a Mercury Marquis"?
You bought it online?
Yeah, I bought... Why?
What, are you a schmuck?
What's the matter with you?
You don't order anything
off the Internet.
Danny, it's the 21st century.
Says the guy with
no master cylinder.
All right, you got a point.
McGarrett.
Yes, we're on our way.
Looks like a bad wreck.
CHiPs. Reminds me of CHiPs.
You remember CHiPs?
Of course I
remember CHiPs.
You know I always thought that
would be the sweetest gig.
You get to ride a
motorcycle all day,
solving crimes,
you go on chases.
No, n-no, you know, the
mortality rate for motor cops
is five times higher
than regular people.
Danny, it's a
TV cop fantasy.
Why you got to ruin
it with statistics?
All right, fine,
it's a TV cop fantasy.
In my TV cop fantasy,
I am Erik Estrada,
you're the other guy.
I don't think so, baby.
What do we got?
HPD says it started as
a routine traffic stop,
then the kid gunned
it and took off.
Is he alive?
Barely.
EMS took a while
to stabilize him.
They're working
on getting him out now.
Got an I.D.?
Not yet, but, uh,
we ran the plates and found
out the car's a rental.
Kono's reaching out right now
to the car rental company
to get the driver's info.
Wait a second.
Call said this was
a crime scene.
This looks
like a traffic fatality.
Well, we're here because
it's about to get interesting.
We got a John Doe.
Actually, scratch that--
we got part of a John Doe.
What it is, Max?
Holy geez.
Something you don't see
every day.
White male,
approximately 30.
Cloudiness of the cornea
puts T.O.D.
at about six to eight hours ago.
There's not a lot of blood
in the box.
Minimal capillary hemorrhaging
indicates
postmortem dismemberment.
You'll notice the
irregular marks
alongside the
posterior surface
of the C3 vertebra.
Really, Steve?
Most likely caused by a saw.
You ever see
anything like this before?
Murder and mutilation, uh,
as an isolated incident, no.
It's a serial killer thing.
Well, the head
could be a trophy.
They just pulled the driver out,
but EMS
doesn't think
he's going to make it.
Hey, guys.
What's your name?
Look, we found the head.
Okay, why'd you kill him?
Who is he?
Just give me a name.
Who is the guy?
Ming-húa.
What did he say?
Ming-húa-- it's a name in Mandarin.
Ming-húa.
Ming-húa-- is that,
is that your name?
Is that you?
Is it the dead guy?
Who's Ming-húa?
Tell me,
who's Ming-húa?
Is it you?
Great, now we got
two John Does.
And no answers.
Spoke to the rental car
company.
Turns out the renter
is a local.
His name's
Spenser Owens.
Okay, doesn't look
like Spenser's
our driver
or our victim.
No, he's alive and well.
No priors, not even
a speeding ticket in the system.
HPD said he reported
the car stolen this morning,
and I have officers
bringing him over
for a statement.
Let's just assume the driver
is the murderer, okay?
He put a head in a box, he went
for a cruise in a stolen car.
Where was he going?
GPS was damaged
during the accident.
Maybe I can pull
something off it, though.
Get a point of origin,
destination.
Hey.
All right, so I ran
prints on our driver
and the ones
found on the box
through AFIS, TSA,
and Immigration,
but I still came
up with nothing.
Driver spoke Mandarin,
right?
Maybe he was illegal.
That would explain why
he's not in the system.
Okay, what about
our John Doe #2?
You mean Jack?
You got an I.D.?
No, Ja-- his head
was in a box-- Jack.
That just ain't
right, bro.
Too soon?
Little bit.
Okay, what do you know
about him?
Uh, besides
the fact
that his eyes were blue,
nothing, but Max said
he's done posting the
body and the head, so...
we should head over.
Okay.
We need to I.D. these guys,
figure out what's going on.
Chin, you take the car.
Kono, talk to this Spenser
guy who rented the car.
We'll go talk to Max.
"Jack"?
- You have zero sense of humor. Zero.
- That's not true.
I... It's bad, Danny.
Spenser,
you're a local.
What are you doing
renting a car?
Mine was in the shop.
I've been working nights
on a loft conversion
off Farrington, so I didn't
even realize the car was gone
till I left work this morning.
I see you filed
a police report.
Yes, that's the first thing
I did.
Report says that you left
the keys in the car.
I'm an idiot.
I lose everything,
so I left them under the visor.
Did you also happen
to leave a box in the car
before it was stolen?
A box?
No, I... I didn't leave
anything in the car.
Did you use the GPS?
No, I did not use the GPS.
Look, can you please tell me
what's going on?
Yeah.
We found your car.
Great.
You get the guy who stole it?
Something like that.
Do you recognize
this man?
No.
What about him?
Wow.
No, ma'am.
What about the name Ming-húa?
Sorry.
I-I wish I could be
of more help.
Okay.
Thank you.
I ran your driver's
dental records.
Cross-referenced
with the name Ming-húa.
Nothing showed up in the system.
I also talked
to my colleagues
on the other islands,
and they report
nothing in terms of similar M.O.
Maybe it was his first kill.
Yeah, either that
or he's done
a good job of covering
his tracks so far.
Doesn't the
HPD have
a tattoo database
they use to I.D. suspects?
Why, you don't think
that says "mom" in Chinese?
Not exactly.
It's Triad.
This guy was
in a gang.
Max, what else you got?
Noticed traces of grease and
motor oil under his fingernails.
There's a lot
of wear and tear
on his hands
for a guy his age.
Yeah, signs of manual labor.
Like hacking a guy's
head off with a saw?
Obviously, for our...
smaller victim, uh,
there were no fingerprints
to be had
or identified.
No hits on
the dental.
But I did run blood
and tissue samples
to Tox, as well
as reference samples to DNA.
I will let you know
when I have those results.
Hey, I just got off
the phone with McGarrett.
Still no I.D.s
on our two John Does.
And I ran faces
through Missing Persons.
Nothing there.
All right.
What about the guy
who rented the car?
Just your average victim
of an auto theft.
Didn't give us anything useful.
Have faith, cuz.
The case is
hardly cold.
What are you doing
with the GPS?
Just watch.
It's alive.
All right, let's see if we can
get any data off of it.
Ah.
Ooh.
All right, looks like there
was one address inputted--
11878 Keawe Street.
It's an office building--
couple dozen businesses,
multiple employees.
Here's a list.
Now based on the time
the address was entered,
I'd say Keawe Street was
our driver's final destination.
No pun intended.
Max, go ahead.
You're on speaker.
In analyzing the isotope ratios
of oxygen and hydrogen
in the driver's hair,
I've linked him
to the drinking water supply
in the Waipahu area.
Wait. Spenser said
his car was stolen
off of Farrington.
That's right. Farrington
goes straight through Waipahu.
That makes sense.
There's a pocket
of Chinese immigrants
that lives right there.
Great work, Max.
Thank you.
How's your Mandarin?
He recognize our vic?
Yeah. He says the kid
comes in here all the time.
He works at a salvage yard
couple of blocks
down the street.
Hey, you don't see many
of those
on the island.
What's this, a '57?
Hey, you speak English?
Yes.
We need to ask you
some questions.
My grandson, Ming-húa.
Ming-húa...
Hey, Ming-húa.
You like action figures? Huh?
Me, too.
Me, too, buddy.
Wait a minute.
I had one just like this.
My dad got me one
just like this
when I was about your age.
Let's see
if we can fix him up here.
Dung.
Good as new.
Here you go.
Sir, do you know
where the boy's father is?
Is this him?
What's happened?
Where's my son?
Max.
Mr. Chi, when you're ready,
we'd like to ask you
some questions.
Mr. Chi, we found
your son in
a stolen car,
the victim's head in a...
in a box.
No.
It's not possible.
Han could never
do these things, no.
What did Han do for work?
He work for me... on cars.
When was the last time
you saw your son?
Yesterday morning.
He was...
he was very excited...
He said, man gave him
a $1,000 job.
What man? Did he
give you a name?
No.
He said
that man said,
you make delivery. That's all.
He good man. He...
He take good care
for Ming-húa.
If he was was a good man, why
was he running from the police?
What's going on?
They're here
illegally.
Seven years ago,
we come here
to find new home,
to find new life.
Han work very hard
for his family.
He would never kill any person.
If that's true,
we'll prove that.
So, I-I want to know something.
Tell me, what is it
that makes you turn
into a softie?
What is that supposed to mean?
What? You just told this guy
that you're gonna make sure
his son is proven innocent.
And I'm just curious,
what happens when you are wrong?
The last words out
of Han Chi's mouth
were his son's name,
okay? Ming-húa.
I mean,
does that sound like a person
that goes around
cutting people's heads off?
Son of Sam liked dogs.
Norman Bates loved his mother.
That's a movie, Danny.
I can give you more
non-cinematic references
if you like.
I'm just saying,
I don't think Han's our guy.
Oh, well, good.
Then it's a wrap.
Hey, you know what I mean?
Let's just go get a plate lunch
and call it a day.
There's nothing
in Han Chi's autopsy
that ties him to the murder.
Okay? Which means
there's no hard evidence,
which you like
to say, right?
Danny, as far
as we know,
Han Chi never even
met the victim.
The guy's driving around
with a head in his car, Steven.
Okay? Just a head.
A grande cabeza.
The cops go to pull him over,
and he runs.
Yeah, the guy's
in the country illegally, Danny.
He's gonna get deported
if he stops.
I mean, he's
got a kid here.
What are you talking about?
See? Stop.
You're done because now I see
what's going on.
Why is it that every time
somebody's father is involved,
you get all goofy? Yeah...
I'm not getting goofy. It's got
nothing to do with my father.
I'm telling you,
every time we get
in a situation like this,
you lose all objectivity.
It's got nothing to do...
It's call transference, my friend.
Oh, okay. Now I didn't know
I was traveling in a car
with Dr. Sigmund Freud.
♪ You don't have to save
everybody. ♪ You don't.
That's all. Okay.
You done?
If you've learned something.
I'll take a "yes" there
if it'll shut you up.
Somebody offered Han $1,000
to deliver a package.
He took the job and
delivered the package
so he could put food on
the table and feed his family.
But he was just the
messenger, Danny.
The guy who hired Han
to deliver the package--
that's the killer. That's
the person we're looking for.
Got tox results
back on our severed head.
Lab found elevated levels
of lead in his blood.
Which could mean our official
C.O.D. is a gunshot wound.
Exactly.
Also found traces
of iodine-131.
Iodine?
Yeah, it's radioactive.
Our John Doe was being treated
for thyroid cancer.
Based on these levels,
most likely dosed
within the week.
All right.
So, what's our next move?
I don't know.
What would you do, rook?
Hmm.
Uh, I'd start canvassing
our local hospitals
and oncology wards.
See if anyone
recognizes our vic.
Okay.
Um... oh, you know,
Hawaii Medical Center West
has the best oncology
ward on the island.
Yeah, they do, don't they?
Hey, look,
I can, uh...
I can handle
it if you want.
I mean, if you're
not comfortable.
No, no. I'll go with.
You sure?
Yeah. I'll be fine, kid.
Hey.
Any luck?
Oh, waiting
for the hospital administrator.
The nurses won't release
any information
without approval or a warrant.
Patient confidentiality and all.
Right.
Did you touch base
with McGarrett?
Yeah. He thinks the driver
was just the messenger,
not the killer.
Other than that,
they got nothing.
You having second thoughts
about coming?
I told you I'm fine.
Really? 'Cause that's
the third time you hit
the elevator button.
Second.
How's this?
I'll go wait
at the nurses' station.
I'll meet you at the lobby.
Hey, I'm a cop, remember?
Sometimes you got
to go places and see people
you're not necessarily
comfortable with.
It's just part of the job.
Okay. Whatever you say, cuz.
I'll go see
what's taking so long.
Be right back.
Chin.
Malia.
Uh... it's great to see you.
Um, yeah.
Great to see you, too.
Uh, so, what-what
are you doing here?
Um, Kono and I are working
on a John Doe case.
Whoa. Kono's here.
I'd-I'd love to see her.
Oh, yeah, well, I'm sure
she'd love to see you, too.
Uh, look, I...
Look, I...
Ah, you-you first.
Well, I just...
I think this is the first time
we've seen each other since...
It is.
You look amazing.
Thank you.
You're wearing it.
Well, you told me
to keep it, so...
I did.
Listen, I hope you know
that everything I did
was to protect you.
I didn't want
your protection, Chin. I...
When it ended between us...
everyone thought I was the one
that left you.
That really hurt.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Malia.
Kono.
How are you?
Great.
So, uh, what are
you doing here?
Well, actually, um,
maybe you can help us.
We're trying to identify
a homicide victim,
might have been a
cancer patient here.
Oh, my God.
That's Henry.
Chin?
His name was Henry Duncan.
35 years old. He was a high
school physics teacher.
Emergency contact listed n
his file was his wife Nicole.
Kono put in a
call to the house,
but all she got
was a busy signal.
Nobody has
a busy signal anymore.
It means something's wrong.
Chin, get us the address.
We're on the way.
Ill text it.
Nicole?
Nicole Duncan?
Clear in here.
Nicole's gone, but come
check this out.
We got, uh, blood splatter
on the walls.
And a broken heel.
Probably came off
in a struggle.
Blood's high velocity,
consistent of a gunshot wound.
This could be where
Henry Duncan was murdered.
Or his wife.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right. Thank you.
Okay, uh, according to her boss,
Nicole Duncan did not
show up for work today.
I got alerts out.
We got her credit cards,
cash, cell phone.
All right, all signs
are pointing to Nicole
joining her husband
in the victim category.
All right.
If we can't find her,
at least we can find out
who they spoke to last.
WOMAN'S VOICE:
You've reached Hawaiian Airlines
flight information.
Airline computer.
Okay, hang on.
Uh, what is it... star 69.
Dial star 69 and see about
the last incoming call.
Hello?
Hey, Jimmy?
I think you have
the wrong number.
Who's this?
Robert Rovin. Who's this?
Oh, wrong
number. Sorry.
Hold on. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
What you got?
Robert Rovin.
I knew that name
sounded familiar. Robert Rovin.
He's one of the guys
on Chin's list.
GPS destination.
Okay, he's got
an investment firm
on the tenth floor of
that building on Keawe Street.
Where Han Chi was going.
Yeah, with Duncan's head.
Are you sure?
Okay, yeah.
We're on our way now.
What is it?
Chin ran background
on Robert Rovin.
Okay, and it turns out that he's
related to our head in the box.
He's Henry Duncan's
father-in-law.
Nicole's father?
Yeah. Since he never filed
a missing persons report,
that means one of two things--
either he knows
what's going on,
or we are on our way
to make a death notification.
Henry was murdered?
Do you know who did it?
That's what we're working on
right now.
My daughter?
What about, uh, Nicole?
I'm afraid she's missing.
What? Missing?
What do you mean, she's missing?
We haven't found her yet,
but I have my task force
and every available police
officer looking for her.
Ah...
Look, um, we know
this is difficult for you.
Please, if you can,
you just tell us when's the last
time you spoke to your daughter?
I-I, um...
I called her a few days ago.
Okay, um,
by any chance, did she mention
a trip that she was planning?
No, no. That's impossible.
Henry was sick.
He... he was fighting cancer.
He spent most of his time
at the hospital.
Could she have gone
someplace by herself?
No. She wouldn't have left him
alone, uh, during chemo.
When was the last time
you spoke to Henry?
Monday. We-We, uh...
We met for dinner.
Anything strange
about that night?
Other than the fact
that his disease
was sucking the life
out of him, no.
Oh...
I can't lose my little girl.
She's all I have left.
We're going to get
to the bottom of this.
Do either of you
have any children?
Yeah, I do. I have a daughter.
Then you'll understand
the lengths you'll go to
as a parent
to protect your children.
Gentlemen, I've been
expecting this call,
so please,
if you'll excuse me....
Um, listen, we're
going to let you know
as soon as we hear something.
Thank you.
Really quickly, I have one
quick question for you.
You ever seen this man before?
No, I haven't.
Why?
We have reason
to believe that he was
on his way here
last night.
Well, if he was,
I had no idea, so...
Please.
Uh, excuse me.
Yeah, of course.
That was interesting.
You see how panicked he got
when he got that phone call?
See how he was talking
about his daughter?
Yeah. "The lengths you would
go to protect your children."
Tell you what,
that cat knows something.
He just did a bad job
of hiding it.
I'm going to call Kono.
We'll sit on Rovin,
see what he's up to.
All right.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
How fast can she get here?
♪ ♪
Whoa, whoa. Not
so close, Wilcox.
Don't tell me how
to tail a suspect.
And if this was CHiPs,
I'd be Estrada.
You'd be Wilcox.
I don't think so.
What's he up to?
Looks like he's got company.
It's a money drop.
Gun! Gun! Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Hold on!
Where'd he go?
Danny!
Spenser Owens.
He rented the Mustang
that Chi was driving.
Hey, hey.
Listen to me. Hey.
Where's Nicole? You need
to tell us where Nicole is.
Huh? Can you hear me?
Listen to me!
Where's Nicole?
He can't die.
If anything goes wrong,
they'll kill my daughter. I...
I just sent Owens' gun
off to ballistics
in case we find Duncan's body.
Hopefully,
we can match it up to a slug.
All right, I want deep
background on Owens--
all known associates,
addresses, the whole bit.
So you've never
seen this guy before?
No, I never saw him before.
The only contact
I had with this guy
was over the phone.
He said he and his
associates had Nicole.
He said, uh, Henry tried
to escape, so they killed him,
but Nicole is was still alive,
and if I ever wanted
to see her again,
I had to give
him $5 million.
Okay. So you never thought
to call the police?
He told me he'd kill her
if I told anyone,
so he told me to
prove he was serious,
he was going
to send me a package.
But I never got anything.
I had him.
I had him
and I let him go.
He wasn't even a suspect.
You did your job.
Hey.
Don't.
Hey.
You're not psychic.
You can't read people's minds.
I should have known
he was lying.
That comes with time
and experience, Kono.
Look, we all
make mistakes.
You got to learn
to live with that,
because that's part of the job.
She all right?
She will be.
Hey, guys, come here.
What do you got?
What is it?
Blowflies.
Usually find them
around dead bodies.
Nicole?
Here we go.
Looks like we found
the rest of Henry Duncan.
All right, uh, male.
Gunshot wound to the chest.
No, no, no.
He doesn't need...
No!
Hey, hey, hey.
You got to find my daughter!
You've got to find her!
Get him out of here.
My daughter. God.
Listen to me.
Listen to me now.
When Spenser does not return
with that money, all right,
whoever he's working with is going
to know that this went bad...
and then Nicole's dead.
Nicole?
Nicole Duncan.
Clear.
Clear.
Clear.
She's not here.
He must have stashed her
someplace else.
Call HPD, tell them
Nicole might be being held
at a secondary location.
And get that saw over
to the crime lab, okay?
I want to make sure that blood
doesn't belong to Nicole.
Looks like our boy
was taking a trip.
Pretty sure he was
planning a vacation
once he got that
ransom money.
Hey, Chin, listen, find out
if Spenser Owens purchased any
overseas airline trips recently.
Hey, tell him
to call Hawaiian Airlines.
Uh, cross-reference
any itineraries
of female passengers
or traveling companions.
You get that?
I'm on it.
What are you thinking?
I am thinking that Nicole
is definitely involved, right?
But I don't think she's
traveling under her own name.
I think she's a little too smart
for that.
Smart enough
to stage her own kidnapping?
Yeah, I think so.
A little help from Spenser.
Right? I mean,
let's think about it.
The guy has never committed
a crime in his entire life.
And this--
this beautiful place--
is this where
you'd bring a hostage?
That's pretty slim.
No.
I'll tell you
what's not slim.
What's not slim is
that he's got his bags packed.
She made a call from her house
to Hawaiian Airlines, and
we have champagne.
Champagne?
Yeah.
Champagne with bubbles.
Poured recently.
Look at you.
Why was he drinking champagne
if he hasn't gotten
the money yet?
I wonder what shade
Nicole wears.
Chin, go ahead.
Yeah, you were right.
Looks like Spenser purchased two
first class tickets to Paris.
Paris, France. France has no
extradition treaty with the U.S.
Yeah. He's traveling
with a female companion
by the name of Erin Barrett,
but I can't find
any information on her.
Oh, you won't.
It's an alias.
How'd you get to be so smart?
MAN
This is the final boarding call
for Flight 1182
bound for Paris.
Spenser, where are you?
I've been leaving messages.
Baby, I'm worried.
The plane's about to leave.
This is the final boarding call
for Flight 1182 bound for Paris.
You know, if statistics
are anything to go by,
flying's actually the safest
mode of transportation.
Excuse me?
Well, you seem nervous,
that's all.
I'm waiting for somebody.
- Oh.
- I don't want to miss my plane.
The thing is, uh... Nicole,
that, uh,
we-we know everything.
Or should I say Erin?
Oh, um, I don't think
Spenser's going to make it.
Actually, I'm positive
he's not gonna make it.
The slug we pulled out of
your husband's body was a match
to the gun that Spenser had
on him, and the thing is,
it wasn't just Spenser's prints
that we found on the gun.
Yours were there, too, Nicole.
I'm just curious
about one thing.
Um, how long...
Uh, how long were you
having an affair with Spenser
before you decided
to kill your husband?
And why did you, uh... why did
you fake your own kidnapping?
I mean, your husband
was already dying of cancer.
I couldn't get five million
out of my father
if he died that way.
Wow!
That's... That's cold.
So what about Han Chi?
Where does he fit
in all of this?
Who?
Who? What, are you an owl?
Han Chi. He's the
guy that you paid
to bring the head of your
ex-husband to your father.
I don't know.
Just some day laborer
Spenser hired
who used to cut his lawn.
You just figured you'd, uh...
you'd use him again.
Spenser wanted somebody
who didn't ask any questions.
And this guy needed the work.
Spenser rented him a car,
plugged the address
into the GPS.
All he had to do
was drop off the box.
Right, when he didn't,
Spenser reported the car stolen,
and then you figured
that we'd think
that Han was the killer.
If that guy hadn't messed up,
we'd be in Paris right now,
and he'd have some money
in his pocket.
He'd also be
an accomplice to a murder.
But Han Chi is dead now
because of you.
And you know what else?
A little boy lost a father today
because you wanted
to take the easy way out.
I really, really hope
that you spend the rest
of your life
rotting in a jail cell
thinking about that.
Are you done?
Am I done?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm done.
Hey, Danny?
Yeah.
You need to get this woman
away from me.
You coming?
No. You go.
I'll catch up.
Okay.
Please.
I'm glad we could prove
that Han Chi was innocent.
Thank you.
For everything
you have done for my son.
There's one last thing.
What is it?
It's a letter
signed by the
governor of Hawaii.
It states
that she's personally expediting
your citizenship papers.
You're gonna be
a U.S. citizen.
You and your family.
I... I have something for you.
What is this?
Open.
Master cylinder,
'74 Mercury Marquis.
You need help putting in,
you call me.
Please.
Xie xie.
No.
Thank you.
Estrada was a bad bitch, man.
Yup. That's why there's no way.
Wait a minute.
Why can't I be Estrada?
In a world where I didn't exist,
you could be whatever you want.
That world sounds lovely.
It's logistics,
anyway, Danny.
You know, I mean,
Estrada's got dark hair.
Wilcox is the blonde.
I know.
I know,
but ladies loved Estrada.
Case in point, bub.
Please. Please stop.
You're making a fool
of yourself.
Okay? Just stop.
I'm just saying.
No. Just listen to
what I'm saying, man.
I have more in common
with Estrada. It's just...
Like what? What do you have
in common? Like a nickname?
'Cause I didn't know
you had a nickname.
I have a nickname,
and so did Ponch.
That's ridiculous.
Just 'cause
I call you Danno
doesn't make you Ponch.
Can we just both be Estrada?
That's fine.
What are you
guys watching?
CHiPs marathon.
I never heard of it.
I used to watch this show
as a kid.
Got me interested
in riding bikes.
Ooh, that guy's
pretty hot.
The dark one, right?
No. The blonde.
Oh, that's me.
