Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Nalowale - full transcript

The "limu lipoa" is actually
a type of seaweed.

In fact, the waters of Waikiki

feature over 200 species
of marine plants.

The black stuff on the
ocean floor is coral,

and the white stuff-
well, that's sand.

Coming up on the port
side, you'll see...

Just make sure you CC
Legal on that memo.

No, I said CC Legal.

Mom, look! The rocks are so fuzzy!

I'm going to have to call you back.
I'm on a submarine.

Mom, it's Nemo.



That fish looks like Nemo.

One sec.

Mom...

A mermaid! A mermaid!

Oh, my God.

Coast Guard, Coast Guard, this
is the submarine Atlantis.

We've got the body of...

Good morning, Lieutenant.

Good morning, Commander.

You know, uh...

I think I owe you dinner.

Yeah. Somehow we just never...

quite... make it to dinner.

We had dinner in Coronado.



No. We had reservations...

You know we, uh, both
have the day off today.

We could have breakfast
on the beach.

Or...

Or...

I think I'm vibrating.

No, I-I think I'm
actually vibrating.

There goes your day off.

There's something
different about you today.

You, uh, you get a new haircut?

No.

New cargo pants?

What was that?

What?

I believe you just smiled!

You-you almost appear to be happy.

You don't think I'm a happy person?

You know... ha... you know, I'm
sure you have your moments,

you know, like when Guns & Ammo

puts out their holiday gift guide,

or a Rambo retrospective
comes on TV.

But when the governor calls us down

to the ME's office on a Saturday,

what is it that you
could be so happy about?

Oh, you had Grace this weekend.

Yeah. I just dropped her
back off at Rachel's.

So just to recap:

I got a broken knee, I got a
daughter I barely get to see,

now I work on Saturdays, okay?

So, life's grand, know what I mean?

It's good.

Gentlemen, thank you for coming.

Governor.

An 18-year-old girl's body was
found off Waikiki this morning.

That's HPD's jurisdiction.

Not this time.

Oh, that's right.

You haven't met Dr. Bergman yet.

Max is a tactile thinker.

Playing music is
part of his process.

Some people say he's a savant.
I think he's a genius.

Max?

Trust me.

Nice to meet you, too.

The victim exhibited
pulmonary edema,

petechial hemorrhaging,
and froth in the airways.

Cause of death is
definitely drowning.

Does that mean we're not
dealing with a homicide?

No. It doesn't mean we're
not dealing with a homicide.

Oh, sorry.

That was a double negative.

It means, it still
could be a homicide.

See these linear
contusions on her wrists?

They're antemortem.

Ligature marks.
Mean she was restrained.

That's right.

She has defensive wounds as well.

So she put up a fight.

Yes.

Also, hello.

I'm Max Bergman.

Hello, Max.

Yeah, hi, Max.

Uh, Governor, do we have
an ID on the victim?

Her name is Amanda Reeves.

Her father's Michael Reeves,

the U.S. Ambassador to the
Philippines, and a very old friend.

Which is why I promised I'd
put my two best people on it.

Okay, uh...
What are they doing in Hawaii?

They vacation here every year.

Thanks, Al.

Um...

The, uh... girls went
to a movie last night,

but they never made it home.

I'm sorry, you said girls?

Uh, as in more than one?

Oh! Sorry.

A-Amanda's sister,
Robin, is still missing.

The Coast Guard sent out
divers this morning, but, uh...

there's no sign of her.

So Robin Reeves may still be alive.

Always wanted Amanda and
Robin to have a....com.

...normal upbringing,
but it hasn't been easy.

So they were stationed with
you at the Embassy in Manila?

Yeah. For the last two years.

Before that, it was, uh, Budapest.

Keeping the family
together has always been...

important to us.

Yeah.

Of course, growing up in foreign
countries with a security detail

shadowing your every move is not
exactly an ideal childhood.

Did they, by chance,
have a detail with them

when they went out last night?

Well, in the Philippines
it's one thing,

but we've been coming to Hawaii
since the girls were little.

I guess we just didn't
think it was necessary.

They were just going to the movies.

Don't blame yourself.
We're going to find Robin.

We are.

We are. I promise.

That's quite a bit of firepower.

It's a Kimber 1911.

I prefer something with
a little more kick.

Not exactly diplomatic
security standard issue.

Which would make you...
Russell Ellison, security consultant.

I specialize in VIP and
corporate protection.

In light of what happened

to Ambassador Reeves, he called
me in to bolster his detail.

So when did you get into town?

This morning.

And if you don't mind, I
have a lot of work to do.

Aloha.

You know, it's possible that
your daughters were targeted

because of your ambassadorship.

Did you make any enemies
during your time abroad?

I'm a representative
of the United States

in an unstable region of the world.

It comes with the territory.

How about in the
Philippines itself?

The U.S. Gives a lot
of aid to that country.

Most of the population is
grateful for our assistance.

Yeah, but not everybody
appreciates the help.

I mean, there's always radical
elements who resent our presence.

Michael, did any of
them ever threaten you?

Office receives dozens of threats.

The security bureau keeps
all of that on file.

Mrs. Reeves, you were a founding
partner in Sowersby Financial.

Is it true that you recently
sold your stake in that company?

Yes, but how is that relevant?

Well, because, ma'am,

you just cashed out of
Sowersby for over $12 million.

If we have that information,

it's safe to assume that
other people do, too.

What...? Are you saying Amanda's
dead 'cause I have money?

I'm sorry, uh, ma'am,

these high-profile cases
are usually about money.

Then how come there hasn't
been a ransom demand?

I don't know.

Oh!

Hi.

Yeah.

Um... Steve had to leave for work,

and he told me I should
just let myself out, so...

Um... You must be...
The sister. I'm Mary. Yeah.

I'm just visiting from L.A.

Big night last night.

Hmm?

Old house. Thin walls.

Oh, God!

Yeah. You said that a lot.

It's embarrassing.

Don't sweat it.

I just broke up with my boyfriend,

so I plan on having a
lot of guys over soon.

So it'll be a fair fight.

Hey.

Hey. Checked with State.

No credible threats
against the ambassador

in the last three months.

Okay, so this doesn't add up-
why kill one girl

and keep the other one alive?
Well, if it's a ransom attempt,

it could be to show
that they mean business.

HPD has a unit at the house.
Still no ransom call.

So we got no motive.

Okay, so we focus on how
the girls were abducted.

75% of kidnappings

are usually carried out by
people the victims already knew.

We ran a background check
on the ambassador's staff,

and everyone seems clean.
What about the new guy?

That security consultant,
Russell Ellison.

His story checks out.

Ambassador just flew him
in from the mainland,

and, uh, his plane touched down
after the girls were abducted.

McGarrett.

On our way.

Let's go, big guy.

Just got back the
toxicology report.

The victim had
benzodiazepine in her blood.

You may be more familiar with
its street name... roofies.

Yeah, it's a date rape drug.

Yeah, it's not that often a
girl gets roofied at the movies.

You could have told
us this on the phone.

I don't trust phones.

Okay. Uh, Kono said
that the daughters

had a reputation for
being, uh, party girls.

Do you have a black light?

Oh. It's called an ALS wand.

And I don't like people
touching my equipment.

Can I just have the wand, please?

Fine.

Zephyr Lounge.

It's a nightclub.

Just sent us a link

to remotely access their
closed-circuit feeds.

That's really good.
It's impressive.

Did you learn that in SEAL school?

Yeah, it's called
using the Internet.

People have been doing
it since the early '90s.

You may have heard of it.
I wouldn't know.

I was still playing Ms. Pac-Man.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Ever make it to the
double pretzel level?

Triple banana, bitch.

You're a liar. No, I'm not.

All right, give me
last night's front door

and start at midnight
and roll backwards.

Right there. Right there.

Whoa, whoa. Okay, roll forward.

There you go. Zoom right here.

Uh-huh.

What's that look like to you?

Like two blonde victims
and a creepy guy.

Got him.

You boys on the list?

Yeah. Uh, VIP.

You know this guy?

Yeah. He's inside.

Hey. Two Longboards.

What are you doing?

Breaking for beers?

This guy's just abducted two girls.

His radar is going to be up.

He sees us before we see
him, he's going to bolt.

So let's just have
a couple of beers,

get eyes on the place and relax.

This place has got eyes on you.

Would you focus, please?

Just... just once. Just focus.

Okay, wait a minute.

Let me ask you a question.
Go ahead.

Two very attractive ladies
are eye-humping you...

uh, respectably-
and-and what, nothing?

Nothing? I mean, what,
should I check for a pulse?

You alive? Hello.

What is that? What is that smile?

What smile? That stupid smile.

What is it with you today?

Huh?

You're imagining things.

Oh, I'm imagining things.

That's right.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Some detective I am.

You got into some Barry
White last night, didn't you?

Huh? Am I right or am I right?

You're very perceptive.

Thank you.

Take a look at Casanova
over there... 6:00.

That's our boy.

Let me tell you
what I'd like to do.

If that was my
daughter, I would bust

every single one of his
fingers one at a time.

Oh, God.

Thank you for the excuse.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Whoa. Put the drink down.

It's time for you to go
to the bathroom. Dude.

Who do you think you are? Huh?

What's that?

Who do I think I am?

I think I might be a guy

who just saw another guy put
something in a lady's drink.

I don't know what you're
talking about. You don't?

I didn't put anything in her drink.

You didn't put anything...
Then, drink it.

What?

Drink it. Come here.

Drink... listen to me.

Drink that drink, or I'm
going to bust your teeth

and pour it down your throat, okay?

I would drink it.

Let me help you.

Come on.

Down the hatch.

Big swallow. Big swallow.

Good job. Okay, let's go.

Robin Reeves.

What'd you do with her?

What?

Great. Now he's deaf.

Where is she?

Where is Robin Reeves?

Here's your rap sheet here.

You got credit card fraud,

corruption of a
minor, statutory rape,

and now you graduated to murder.
Congratulations.

Murder? Yeah.

What are you talking about?

Well, they found Amanda
Reeves' body this morning.

I didn't kill that girl.

No? Well, you better
know who did, then.

Okay. Okay.

I did slip those girls
a roof last night.

Why those girls?
Why'd you pick them?

I just did what I was told.

But they were alive when I
handed them off to Kang.

Who's Kang?

The one who set me up with the job.

Said he'd give me five grand
for every girl I brought him.

What does he do with the girls?

I get paid to supply the
girls, not to ask questions.

Okay, so how do we find Kang?

I don't know, honestly. I...

He never even told
me his last name.

I don't even know his phone number.

How do you deliver
the girls to Kang?

How does that happen?

He leaves a van parked
in one of the lots.

Okay, go on.

I put the girls in the back,

take the van to Ala Wai,
and I park it by the canal.

The next day, it's
back in the parking lot

with five grand in the
glove box and instructions

for the next drop-off.

So that girl you were
going to drug tonight...

is she your next delivery?

Yeah.

Yeah, I was... supposed
to get her there by 1:00.

That's less than an hour.

Hang tight, Kono.

We'll be right behind you.

Bravo team, target's turning
southeast on Kuhio.

Copy that.

Kuhio Avenue... it's a
red-light district at night.

Yeah, sex tre, kidnapped girls.

It's got to be forced prostitution.

Yeah.

Teenagers like Amanda and
Robin are prime targets.

You know, Tamara, the Hawaii Chair
wasn't designed just for home.

I mean, after all, for some of us,

at least 40 hours
of our week is spent

sitting behind a
desk at the office.

So, to see what office workers
think of the Hawaii Chair,

we sent Erin Lee to work.

Hi. I'm Erin Lee with...
Seriously?

Sitting?

That's a workout?

Let's get some
first-time reactions.

Oh, my gosh. This is amazing.

That feels great on my abs.

I can really feel this working.

Oh, my God!

Make it stop!

...using the computer, balancing
books or filing paperwork.

You can hardly call this work.

With the Hawaii Chair, it takes
the work out of your workday.

Come on.

You don't have batteries?

How do you power your
night vision goggles?

It's not the best time, Mare.

Why are there pictures of
burned corpses in the study?

What are you talking about?

I found this tool kit, and it has

all this weird stuff in
it, like a tape recorder,

crime scene photos and some...

postcards from Japan.

Put the box back, okay?
It's evidence.

Evidence of what?
Something Dad was investigating.

A case he was working on.

He wanted me to find it. Why?

Mary, please... do me a favor

and just put the box
back for now, okay?

Okay, okay, I will.
Tell me you're putting the box back.

Relax. I will.

Thank you.

Bye.

Everything okay?

Probably not.

Party's inside.

Let's go.

Kono, try and get a 20 on Robin.

Okay. Close quarters with an
unknown number of hostiles.

Robin Reeves is not

the only girl in there, so
watch your crossfire, okay?

We also have a UC in there.

Five-nine, local girl, black
top, black hot pants.

She's one of ours, so look sharp.

Miss Liao.

Excellent skin.

Mm.

Bone structure very good.

Strong, too.

You'll be a good earner.

All right, I've heard enough.

Hold tight, we're coming in.

Go.

On the ground before
I put you there.

On the ground!

Freeze! Right there!

Building's secure.

Where's Robin?

She's not here.

Robin Reeves... where is she?

I never see that girl.

Well, seeing as you're not
even bothering to look,

maybe you'll remember that she
was with her sister Amanda,

and maybe you'll want to
know that she's dead now.

I want you read my
Miranda right now.

Preferably in Chinese.

My English not so good.

What you do... What you doing?
What you doing?

No! Give me!

Sit down! Give me!

Shut up.

Give us a minute.

Yeah, sure.

She ordered the kidnapping
of the Reeves sisters,

but it wasn't for the
prostitution ring.

She tell you where Robin is?
Doesn't know.

According to her, the Reeves girls
never even passed through here.

A private buyer paid her
50,000 to abduct them

and hand them over. Said the
kidnapping was a freelance job.

So it had nothing to
do with sex trade.

Someone was targeting
them specifically.

You get a name on a buyer?

All she had was

the phone number she used
to communicate with the guy.

Said she was paid by wire.

This will help.

How'd you get her to talk?

Told her the dog would be put
down once she went to lockup.

Promised I'd find it a home.

If she cooperated.

What?

It's not like it's the dog's fault.

So I ran the phone number
on our private buyer.

Turns out, the calls were made
from a disposable cell phone.

Which is untraceable. That's right.

But I was able to
pull the call logs.

And get this: since the
Reeves sisters went missing,

three calls were placed
from that cell phone

to the ambassador's private number.

So you think that
he's somehow involved

in his own daughter's
disappearance?

No.

No, this is a kidnap and ransom.

Yeah, they're calling the
ambassador to make demands.

That's why he brought Ellison
in after the girls went missing.

Ellison, the security consultant.

I will bet you he's not
a security consultant.

That guy is a K&R specialist.
What's K&R?

Kidnap and ransom.

It's a type of insurance.

Look, if the policyholde
gets abducted,

the company comes in,
they pay the ransom

and they supervise the
exchange with the kidnappers.

And these guys got a tendency to
obstruct police investigations.

So, if Ellison is
handling the drop,

that explains why the
ambassador lied to us.

Is your husband home?

We uh, we need to have a word.

No, I... he had to
step out for a meeting.

With Mr. Ellison?

I don't know.

What's going on?

Mrs. Reeves, we know

that the kidnappers have been in
communication with your husband.

He hired Russell Ellison to broker
the deal, isn't that right?

Sarah.

Sarah, if you know something,
you have to tell them.

I'm so sorry I lied to you.

Last call came in an hour ago,
and the man on the end said

that if we paid the money,
we'd get Robin back.

As soon as the
kidnappers made contact,

Michael called Mr. Ellison.

He flew in with the money.

He monitored all the calls.

He told Michael exactly what to do and say.
Did your husband say

where the transaction
was taking place?

No, no. Mr. Ellison wouldn't
let him give me any details.

Did Ellison ask you to lie?

He said involving the police

would only put Robin
in more danger.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

I just traced the money trail for
that private buyer who paid for

the abduction of
the Reeves sisters.

The payment was wired from
a bank in the Philippines.

The account belongs
to a Carlos Bagoyo.

Known member of the
National Liberation Front,

operational in rural Luzon.

They bombed a military
base there in '08.

Lately they've taken to
targeting U.S. Troops

within the country.

Of course they have.
Because we support

the democratically-elected government
that keeps them out of power.

Doesn't sound like they'd
be interested in a ransom.

They're not.

They didn't kidnap his daughters
for money, this is political.

If they're targeting
the ambassador,

he must have something they want.

Yeah.

And he just dropped his security
detail to go meet with them.

Hey.

Listen, all the cars
in the DSB motor pool

have vehicle transponders, okay?

I need a location on the
car the ambassador left in.

Government plates. It's him.

Tires are still warm.

They can't have gone too far.

Ellison probably sent
the ambassador in solo

to make the swap,
but he'll be nearby

monitoring with a tac team
to make sure it doesn't bad.

And you know what?

I may have a way to figure out

where he's running
surveillance from.

Yeah, I figured you would.

You're gonna like this.

Was wondering when
you were gonna call.

You get in late last night?

I actually haven't been home yet.

Interesting.

No, no, it's not
what it sounds like.

I caught a high-priority case.

Okay, why am I getting the feeling

that you're about to ask
me for another favor?

Listen, I'll make it
up to you, all right?

We'll finally get that dinner,

and you'll get to taste the
best steak on the island.

Who you talking to?

All right, you got yourself a deal.

What do you need?

PACOM has a satellite
dedicated to Honolulu harbor.

Can you use it to run a
scan on radio traffic?

Yeah, what am I looking for?

Uh, spread spectrum signal
in the 400 MHz range.

Type used by high-end
surveillance gear.

All right, one sec.

Thanks, Cath.

Oh, Catherine. I should've known.

That's who you were getting
right with last night.

That's stunning detective work.

Well done. You know, it's amazing.

Now, she-she catches bad guys
for you and she sleeps with you.

Does she cook, too?

Yeah, she does. She's a great cook.

Roger that. We've got eyes on
the northern avenue of approach.

What's your status?

All right, I think I got
a hit on your frequency.

I'm tying you in right now.

Overwatch on Reeves is good.

We're standing by.

All right, that's our boy.

Can you get a vector
on the signal source?

All right, the west
end of the dock.

It's coming from a
shipping container.

What are you doing?
Lower your weapons!

Right now! Lower your gun!

You can't come in here.
You're gonna get

this girl killed.
We're gonna get this girl killed?

Hey!

You obstructed our investigation!

Now unless your men are ready
to shoot a couple of cops,

tell them to holster
their weapons now.

Right now, buddy.

Where's the ambassador?

He's in position for the drop.

Pull him out now.

With all due respect, my team
specializes in these situations.

We want to get Robin
home to her family.

Of course you do,
because if you don't,

your firm is on the hook
for six million, right?

The man who kidnapped the
ambassador's daughters

is a part of a Filipino
terrorist group.

Sir, they just arrived.

This is not about cash, gentlemen.

They lured him in.

Look at that, robin
is not with them.

Patch me into the ambassador.

All right, listen, they're here.

I want you to be calm and do
exactly as we already discussed.

You know who I am?

Carlos Bagoyo.

You're an operative of the NLF,

responsible for the Zamboanga
bombings that killed 78 people.

I see you read your
security briefs.

Where is she?

Where's my daughter?

She's nearby.

When we get what we want,
we will release her.

You didn't come all this
way for my money, did you?

I'm afraid not, Ambassador.

We came for you.

Your country sends military
aid to the Philippine regime.

You put guns in the hands

of soldiers that kill
our sons and brothers.

I don't understand.

There's a U.S. Shipment of M-4
machine guns en route to Manila.

You're gonna tell me where they
are right now and we're gonna

use those weapons to
take our country back.

I don't have that
kind of information.

As ambassador, you
coordinate military aid

with the State Department,

which means you have access
to the classified server.

Now if you ever want to see
your daughter alive again,

log in.

All right, he finds out
where that shipment is,

he can send a team in to hijack it.

We cannot let him get
to those weapons.

Tell the perimeter team to gear up.

Wait a minute. What are you doing?

We're running out of options.
We gotta move in.

We don't need to do anything.
You need to pull your men out

so my partner and I can
clean up your mess.

Move out now. I'm not
gonna tell you again!

Come on.

Your wife already
lost one daughter.

Are you prepared to tell
her your other child died

because you wouldn't
do what was asked?

Ambassador, this is
Commander McGarrett.

Stay calm, listen.

Tell them that you're
willing to cooperate,

but first you need
to see your daughter.

We cannot move in until we know
where she is, you understand?

Fingerprint and password,
Ambassador, now!

Please trust me.

Do as I ask you.

Tell Carlos you're
willing to cooperate,

but first you need to see Robin.

Ambassador, do it, please.

You're asking me to commit
treason against my country.

And I will do as you ask,

but not until I know she's safe.

I want to see Robin.

She's on her way.

They're bringing Robin in.
We need to get a visual.

You're kidding me.
No, I'm not kidding.

Come here. Look, this one
controls the camera feed,

the joystick is for
pans and zoom, okay?

It's just like Ms.
Pac-Man. It's very easy.

They're holding the ambassador
on dry dock number seven.

And the daughter?
She's not on-site,

but Bagoyo has just agreed
to provide proof of life.

We think he's holding her
in a nearby location.

As soon as we get eyes
on Robin, we can move in.

Okay, we got a boat coming in.

Got her.

All right, that's us.
We're going, Danny.

Okay, I'll just be here
in the penalty box.

We still clear?

Roger that.

Daddy!

Robin.

Sweetie.

Go.

Okay, hold up, hold up.

You got two at the south entrance.

One of them's making the rounds,
coming your way right now.

He's coming up right behind you.

He'll be on you in
about ten seconds.

Wait for it.

Now, now.

Oh!

That's enough.

No, no, no, no, please, please?!

Ambassador, you've
seen your daughter.

Now log in.

My patience is wearing
thin, Ambassador.

Do it or she dies.

Robin?

It's okay.

You guys okay? Yeah.

All right.

Listen, I'm man enough
to know when I'm wrong.

Thank you. You both
have great instincts,

and if you ever consider coming
down to the private sector,

you should give me a call.

Men with your skill sets
deserve to be compensated.

I know. Well, thank you very much.
I totally agree.

Oh, what are you doing?

I'm getting compensation.

You obstructed a
criminal investigation.

That is an arrestable offense.

Well, you and I both know that
the charges will never stick.

Yeah, maybe not, but it's
going to take your firm

at least 24 hours to get a
lawyer here from Los Angeles.

I'm gonna make sure that you
spend that time in jail.

Book him, Danno.

You know, I got to be honest.

I actually didn't mind that one.

Really? Yeah.

Move.

You saved a girl's life today.

Just doing the job
you hired me for.

Maybe so,

but I made a promise
to a friend and...

you let me keep it.

Thank you.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

Okay, to, uh, let me see-
Well, how about this?

To finally getting
around to dinner.

Yes.

Cheers. Cheers.
