Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Po'ipu - full transcript

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

I have a completely
unscientific theory

that the ability to put
the week behind you

is directly related
to how much alcohol you consume.

Is that right?

What are you drinking?

Very powerful club soda.

Club soda's not part
of my theory.

Two Belvederes
on the rocks, please.

I'm Allison.



I'm David.

And, uh, I'm also
meeting someone.

Then I'll stay just long enough
to make her jealous.

Thank you.
Thank you.

To your theory.

♪ ♪

Tom Matthews.
Lieutenant Commander
Steve McGarrett

and Detective Danny Williams
from Five-O.
Hey.

Tom is running security
on the Foreign Aid Summit.

All right. What do we know
about this victim?

His name is David Atwater.

He was a diplomatic
service agent

assigned to General Pak's
advance team.

General Pak is arriving today
from Sandimar



for the Aid signing.

And a lot of people do not
want General Pak here.

Yeah, from what I've seen
on the news,

a lot of people
don't want him alive.

Atwater was on the trail
of one of these people.

He called Tom just a few hours
before his death,

saying that he had information
about an assassination plot.

Why didn't he give details
over the phone?

Said we had to meet.

We were scheduled to do that
at the hotel bar last night.

Atwater didn't show.

I went to his room
and found his body.

So you got the call
and you found the body?

If you want to waste what little
time we have investigating me,

Detective Williams,

go ahead.

I'll be in my office.
Gentlemen.

Whatever the threat assessment
was, it's now changed.

Why don't we just postpone
the general's trip?

It is critical that General Pak
attend the Summit, McGarrett.

That's why the governor
has you on this.

You are to find
Atwater's killer

and assist in protecting
General Pak

and his family
when they arrive.

I'm sorry, did you say "assist"?
Who am I assisting?

Uh, this is...
No way!

What's up, bullfrog?

Smooth dog.

Been a while.
It's been a long time, man.

Uh, Nick,

Nick served under me
in the SEALs.

And three years
in the 'Stan.

The 'Stan?
What is the 'Stan?

Afghanistan.

Nick, this is my partner
Danny Williams.

How you doing?
Good.

How are you?
I figured you'd reenlist

until your mandatory.

When did you get out?
Two years ago.

I got my own shop now.

After last night's
security breach,

the Sandimar government

decided to beef up
their protective detail.

They hired Nick's firm

to protect General Pak
and his family.

Of course they did.

Wow. So you got

genocide, ethnic cleansing.

It's a great client
you got.

Well, you know, my team and I

are here to do a job,
just like you.

No, no, not-not just like me.

See, I'm a cop. I don't
get to choose who I protect.

You do, and you choose
this animal, and I'm sure

our pay grades, our rates
are a little different.
Okay, enough.

Just...
I mean...
Enough.

I'm going to do a dry run,

map out the A.O.
and check for choke points.

All right.
What are you saying?

Excuse me, can you translate,
smooth dog?

Huh?
A.O. is the area of operation,

all the areas we need to
put on full lockdown--

General Pak's route from the
airport to the Summit site.

Choke points are areas
where the motorcade could
get slowed or ambushed.

Okay, okay, I got an idea.

If you guys are gonna
keep talking like this,

maybe we get a dictionary.

All right, I'm sorry about him.

It's good to see you.

I'll call you later.

All right, all right.
Hey.

Shh.

What, are you jealous?
No.

It was jealousy.
No!

You don't like him, do you?

What gave it away?

You didn't like me at first
either.

Let me explain something to you:

I will never like
that cheeseball.

Okay, I get that you were built
without a censor button,

but if we have to go
to guns on this case,

you're going to be happy
that he's on our side.

Okay, if we have to go to guns
on this case,

happy is not one of the emotions
I will be expressing,

okay?

Wow.

Guy gets murdered

right before he's about
to blow the top off of

an assassination plot.

Killer thinks that now

nothing's standing
in his way.

Yeah, except us.

No foreign dignitary has ever
been killed on U.S. soil,

and General Pak is not about
to be the first.

Okay, kid,

walk me through it.

Carotid was severed.

Arterial spray on the wall.

Good. What else?

Okay, no forced entry.

No signs of a struggle.

By the looks of it,

I'd say Agent Atwater
invited his killer in.

Also got a shoe print.

About a size six.

Spiked heel.

Looks like our killer
was female.

Maika'i loa,

rookie.

That's them in the top corner.

Oh, look,
she bought him a drink.

You never had
that happen?
Once. Niagara Falls.

Oh. Can you forward the tape,
please?

Why would a trained agent,

even off-duty,
hook up with a random woman

while he's on assignment?
I don't know.

Lonely people do stupid things.

Can you follow them?

Here they are
in the elevator, and...

- here they are in the hallway.
- Check it out. I mean,

the camera never gets
a full shot of her face.

She knows all the blind spots.

Our girl did her homework.

Wait a minute. Go back, go back.
Rewind the tape five seconds.

And zoom in.

Look at that--
his hand's shaking.

Yeah, it's performance anxiety.

Also Niagara Falls.

Can you rewind the tape
back to the bar?

Wait, wait, wait,
go back, go back, go back.

Zoom in.

Look at that.

She dropped something
in his drink.
That's a roofie.

No, in small quantities,
GHB is an aphrodisiac.

Huh. That would explain

the animal kingdom behavior
in the hallway.

Yeah, it would also explain
him skipping a meeting

that he set about an impending
assassination attempt.

- Anything
- about this case bother you?

Everything about this case
bothers me.

I mean, why not kill
the general in Sandimar?

Well, if it was me,

I'd want to hit the general
where his security detail

is weakest,
and in Sandimar,

he's surrounded by an army.

I mean, the general
never leaves Sandimar,

so if they don't get him here,
they don't get him.

Which means we have to find
Atwater's killer

before that happens.

What is that?

What's what?

That.

That is a picture of Grace.

No, not that. That.

Oh, that's a visual aid.

Just a reminder
of a better place.

A visual aid?
Yeah.

Danny, this is a postcard
of New Jersey.

I know exactly what it is;
I bought it, all right?

What, you want to hear me say
it? I'm not afraid to say it.

I miss home.
I'm a little homesick, okay?

It's okay.
It's okay to be homesick.

I miss Sal's Steak House. I miss
Frankie's. I miss Manny's.

Do you realize how much of
your life revolves around food?

Do you realize
how much your life

revolves around armed conflict?

Let me ask you a question.

Where do people from
New Jersey vacation?

Um, I don't know.

I-I would imagine they vacation

all over the place.
Okay. And you're...

you're aware the fact
that perhaps many people

from New Jersey vacation
here in Hawaii?

I'm sure some misguided people
do, sure, yeah.
Okay, good.

And how many Hawaiians do you
think vacation in New Jersey?
I don't know.

I can help you with that answer
if you want.

The answer is zero, Danny,

because nobody here, except you,

wants to be there, okay?

Because aside from a
couple of great singers,

New Jersey doesn't
exactly scream...
Oh, oh...

Whoa, a few great singers?

Sinatra, Springsteen...
Right.

A few great sing...
Jonathan Bon Jovi.

I'm sorry, Bon Jovi?

Absolutely Bon Jovi.
You serious?

He's right up there.
"You Give Love a Bad Name,"

"Wanted Dead or Alive,"
Now you're giving
me song titles.

I love it.
I'm giving you
classic song titles.

Look, all I'm saying is,
it's cool with me

if you want to have a photo
of Grace, okay,

but any other additions
and decorations

to the interior of this vehicle
should be treated

like a wiretap request
where you need my authorization.

You can ride in the trunk
if you don't like it.

I'll get real Jersey

up in this piece.

Look at this.

General Pak's
got a fan club.

This makes me so sick.

We might have to take a bullet

for this guy.
If we do our job right,

that's not going to happen.

Even if we get her, I mean,

what are the chances
she's working alone?

Not only are we going to find
her; we're going to find her,

and then we're going to squeeze
her to flip on her partners.

Yeah, well, I just want you
to know something.

When I took an oath
to protect people,

General Pak is not who
I had in mind.

Me, either.

We pulled a partial print

off the "do not disturb" sign
she touched.

Everything else appeared
to be wiped down.

We ran it. No hits
in the system yet, though.

What's all this?

Well, you mentioned
on the phone

that you didn't have
a clean, full shot

of the assassin's face,
so I built one.

I pulled two different camera
stills off the security footage.

This left full profile
is from the bar,

and this right profile

is when they exited
the elevator.

I grabbed bits and pieces
from other shots

and added them
to the two base images

and created
a composite.

Wow.
Nice work.

The guy built a face.
Okay, listen.

Add the prints you pulled

and circulate this picture
to HPD,

NCIC, FBI, Interpol

and airport
and marina securities.

Kono, keep digging
into General Pak's background.

I want to know if he
has any enemies at home

who may want to
target him here.

We also need a list of
protestors that were

at the Summit that HPD has
on a watch list

for making threats.

I'll do that.

Just remember, General Pak
has a lot of people

who hate him, so don't confuse
making a threat

with being one.

Forget the cranks
and focus on the people

who actually
have the means

to pull something like this off.

Where are you going?
I'm going
to go back

to the Summit, review
site protection with Taylor.

Call me if you get anything.
You got it.

Chin, what's up?

A parking valet at the hotel
recognized that woman

from the picture I composited.

He says he remembers her

not only because she
was uniquely beautiful,

but also because she pulled up
in a battered old Ford Taurus,

slipped him $50 and asked him
to keep it out front.

According to him,
it was an interesting paradox.

Okay, tell me you got a plate.

Yeah, I did.

Hotel logs plates
whenever a car checks in.

It's for insurance purposes.

I'm heading to the house now
with HPD backup.

Perfect. I'll meet you there.

Cordon off the neighborhood.

Set a perimeter
around the house.

What's the address?

I want her alive.

Clear.
Clear.

Be aware-- suspects may be
holding civilians hostage.

House is secure,
but you should see this.

Looks like enough firepower
to take out the general.

And his entire army.

Guys, in the garage.

That's the woman
who owns this house.

Used dishes in the sink.

Two weeks' worth
of uncollected mail.

Medical examiner
thinks that's how long

the body's been dead,
but he's got to wait

for it to defrost
before he can do the autopsy.

So, our suspect kills the woman,
takes her identity

and uses her house
as a base of operations.

Hi. This is Margaret.

I'm not home right now.

Leave me a message.

Hey, Mom. It's Stephanie.

We just got back from Spain.

Wait till you see the photos.

Call me. Love you.
Bye.

Call back and make
the family notification.

Hey, Danny just called.
He's at HPD.

He just got a hit
on a protest organizer

you're going to want
to take a look at.

His name is Nae Shan.

Former member
of General Pak's army.

Defected to Thailand,
and then he came here.

He's been photographed

at several protests
against General Pak.

And HPD has him
on multiple arrests,

including weapons sales.

You think this guy
might be responsible

for the arsenal
in the next room?

I think whoever's behind this
has to have local help.

Let's go say hello.

Hey.

Watch the door.

He comes your way,

don't let him
get past you.

You got it.

Got eyes on him.
He's headed your way.

Hey, what's up, Nae Shan?

You got a sec?

Hey! Hey! Kono!

Nae Shan.

Officer Kono Kalakaua.
How you doing today?

Why did you run?

I don't like police.

That's original.

I'm going
to ask you questions.

You're going
to give me answers.

If you lie to me,
I'm going to throw

you and your family
in an INS holding tank,

and then I'm going to deport you
back to Sandimar.

You understand?

Good.

You're a person of interest

in an assassination plot
against General Pak.

You think I want
to kill General Pak?

I want to see
him brought

before an international court
of justice.

I want to see him humiliated.

Death is too easy
for General Pak.

He must admit what he did.

What did he do to you?

General Pak's soldiers
came in the morning

when we were working
in the fields.

They set fire to our houses,

our crops.

They burned everything.

They shot two young men because
they said they were guerrillas.

They were just boys.

We tried to run,
but they rounded us up

and forced us to walk
across a field.

They blindfolded the
machine gunners.

It was a game to them.

They did not even aim.

They just pulled
the triggers.

The officers laughed.

I watched as my oldest son
and my sister...

I cannot close my eyes
without seeing.

Now, those of us who were able

to walk clear went into
the jungle, toward the border.

We walked for ten days
with no food for the children,

no medicine for the injured.

Many died.

And we were not
the only village.

There were many.

A million people living in
the jungle like animals.

I hate General Pak,
but I am no murderer.

What did she just say?

She wants to know
why the police

are protecting a monster
like General Pak.

She asked how a man can do that

and still call
himself a man.

What is it with you?
What do you do?

You attract conflict?

I've been gone
for two hours,

and you have
conducted two raids.

What do you got planned
for lunch?

Did you run Nae Shan's alibi?

Yeah, he's clean.
He checks out.

What is... what...
what are you doing here?

I'm running additional
background on Agent Atwater.

Something
doesn't make sense.

Okay, just please
stop for a second.

Now, we have a room
full of guns.

All right, we need to be
looking for the people

that were hired to fire them,

not investigating
their murder victim,

who's a decorated agent
with a spotless record.

So tell me--
how does your decorated agent

know about this
assassination plot?

I don't know, okay?

Same way we would--
an investigation, an informant.

No. Matthews said that nobody

on the detail
authorized an investigation.

And if it was an informant,

why didn't he download Matthews
on the first call?

Why demand a face-to-face?

I don't know--
because he didn't want to relay

that kind of information
over the phone. All right?

Atwater said that he wanted
to meet Matthews alone.

All right, maybe he
was going to report

a threat inside
the protective detail.

Maybe it was someone he knew,
maybe a friend.

All right, or maybe Atwater
was the inside man--

part of the team behind
this room full of guns

that are going to be used
for the assassination.

We have zero evidence
connecting Atwater to this plot.

But why kill him?

He's not running the detail.

He didn't set the route.

I mean, Atwater is
an advance man.

What made Agent David Atwater
so dangerous to these people

that they had him killed
before General Pak arrived?

Wait a minute. Hold on.
This hurts my head.

All right, if you're right
and Atwater was compromised,

the only reason
that he would call Matthews...

...is to come clean,
turn himself in.

Kill him before he can reveal
the how and where.

You're good.

I know.
No luck

with the assassin's
photo canvass.

No hits at the airport
or marinas yet.

Prints from the hotel room

match prints
from the dead woman's home.

It's the same killer.

And we also got a hit
from the Interpol Red Notice.

CIA.

It's a locked NFN file--
National Security.

Even you don't have the
clearance required to view it.

Oh, good. So the killer's CIA?

Ex-CIA would be my bet.

So does anyone know anyone that
can open a locked CIA file?

I might.

Nick, we ran
the assassin's prints

and composite through the
databases and got a hit.

Got a hit at Langley.

Langley?

How long was she
with the Company?

We don't know anything
about her.

I mean,
it's a locked file.

But, uh, was kinda hoping
you could help.

A locked file goes all the way
to the top,

but I may know someone
that can unlock it.

I'll make a call.

Come here
for a second.

I mean, it must
be really nice

having friends that
can open a top secret
CIA black file.

Yeah, it is.

I'm sorry. Is there a question?

What do you
want to know?
Who is that guy?

Before he worked
private security,

Nick was Special Activities
Division.

Special Activities? What kind
of special activities did he do?

SAD is the military arm
of the CIA.

Oh, really?
Yeah.

I thought you guys were
Navy SEALs?

When you have certain
specialties,

you can be recruited

into different units
as needed.

Are you gonna answer
any one of my questions?

What do you want to know?

What was his specialty?

It's classified information,
Danny.

Okay. What was your specialty?
I can't tell you that either.

Okay, please, you have done
this before. Where was that?

When exactly
was that?

I worked the other side.

The other side's
a sniper rifle.

Was that your
specialty?

Her name is Erica Raines.

She was with the Company
for nine years.

Recruited right out of college,

A virtual ghost
in the community.

She's a mechanic

and a very good one.

A mechanic?

An assassin.

Mechanic.

Okay, look.

Nick, can you just do me a favor
and just stop?

All right?

From now on, the Company
is the CIA.

Right? The mechanic
is the assassin, and please,

let's stop referring
to what you people do as

"the community."
You're not a community.

The Amish people,
they have a community.

Let's just say what things are,

please?

She specialized in seducing her
targets and killing 'em.

She had an op
go bad in Jordan,

went off the grid for two years.

Next time she appeared on the
Agency's radar she was a gun

for hire with no loyalty to any
government or organization.

Oh, good, maybe

we can hire her to kill herself.

We got a hit on our picture
canvass.

She's been spotted
at Aloha Tower

buying a ticket
for Josephine Cruise Lines.

Okay, so she's trying to escape
to another island.

And fly out from there.

We need her alive.

She's our only link to whoever's
behind this assassination plot.

♪ ♪

I got her. I got her.

Show me your hands.
Show me your hands!

She's dead.

What kind

of an animal brings his wife
and his kid to a place

where he knows people
are trying to kill him?

The kind that loves
a good photo op.

Yeah. He wants people to see him
as a father and husband,

not a mass murderer.

Hey, did you get anything
off the assassin's phone?

No. HPD's scrubbing it now.

All right, look sharp.

♪ ♪

Yeah.

Are you sure?

What's up?

McGarrett.

The phone dump on the assassin's
cell phone just came back.

After she murdered
Agent Atwater,

she dialed Nick Taylor.

Taylor?

Mike, the next right.

Sir?

Take the next right!

Hey!

We're compromised.

Get ready.

Go, go, go, go!

McGarrett, give him to me

and no one else
gets hurt.

Not gonna happen.

Chin, take out the engine!

Guys, get in the car!

You okay?

Let's go!

She bad?
She'll live.

Drive! Drive! Drive! Drive! Go!

Hey, what are we doing here?

This is the closest
and safest place I know.

We're gonna hole up here
until HPD SWAT arrives.

Taylor ever been here?
Never.

All right, Kono, there's a
first-aid kit in the kitchen.

Get it and do what you can.

Okay.

Danny, secure
the back door.

Hey, look,
everything's gonna be okay.

This is Steve McGarrett,
Five-O.

I got shots fired.

- Multiple agents down
- Mokulua Drive.

Send HPD SWAT
to 2727 Piikoi Street.

Inform all HPD officers
that Nick Taylor is the target.

Yeah, he's armed.
He's extremely dangerous.

Won't be long.

You saved my life.

Your team saved my family. Why?

It's my job.

Do me a favor,
stand over there.

Hey, what's your name?

Tun.

Tun. I like that name.

Hey, Tun,
can I tell you a secret?

I'm scared, too.

You have a gun.

Why are you scared?

Just 'cause I have a gun

doesn't mean
I don't get scared.

My father would
be angry with me.

I am not being a strong man.

Hey, when all those people
started shooting,

you didn't even cry.

And you never left
your mommy's side.

You made sure she was safe.

That makes you

a very strong man, Tun.

I'm gonna be
right over there.

If you need anything,
you let me know, okay?

Okay.

Help will be here, soon.

Why do you think
I brought my family here?

I don't know.

Because you're
a mass murderer?

My family's here because
I'm seeking political asylum.

That's why you couldn't
postpone the trip.

That's why everybody's
trying to kill you.

Let me get this straight.

So you commit all these
horrible, horrible crimes,

and then you come over to the
United States, and you say,

"Hey, I'd like to make
a deal now. Please."

I'm going to testify
at the U.N.

against a military junta
and my chairman.

I am going to admit to the world

what I've done and pay
for the crimes I've committed.

Well, that's...
that's good, man.

You should've told us, okay?

Somebody should have told us.

The information
was too dangerous.

That information is more
dangerous if I don't have it!

My entire team
could have been killed.

Not to mention your family.

My testimony will end the war!

The suffering.

You save me, and my family,

and you save a country.

It's HPD.

Those aren't cops!

Danny, get away from the door.

Get away from the door!

Where are the police?

Where is help? Where's help?

Help's not coming.

How the hell
did they know we're here?

My cell phone is dead.

Same. Internet, too.

Everything's dead.

I got full bars.

Wait a minute.

Taylor's killed your signals,
and he's cloned mine.

What?
He's cloned my cell phone.

Before, I wasn't talking
to 911 operators,

I was talking to his team.

HPD has no idea where we are.

I told you
that I hated that guy.

Danny, take the upstairs.

Chin, get the gas can off
the bench in the shed.

General, bring your family.

No matter what happens,
no matter what you hear,

you stay in this room,
you understand?

Yes.

Let's go.

Kono, find me some rags.

I'm going to head up with Danny.

Go.

Agent Atwater...

was working with us for months.

He was fully prepared

to kill the general
for money, but...

he drew the line
at his wife and child.

I don't share that conflict.

How about you, Steve?

You son of a bitch.

Are you really prepared
to sacrifice your entire team

and a woman and child,
for a corrupt general

who's killed thousands
of innocent people?

I fought beside you, Nick.

For years.

We were friends.

That's the only reason
you're still alive.

Give me the general and
no one else has to get hurt.

That's not going to happen.

Well, then, everyone
in that house is dead.

What happened to you, Nick?

I killed for God
and country for years.

I figured it was about time
I got paid for it.

$9 million
to keep Pak from testifying.

I'll cut you in, Steve.

All you got to do
is put a bullet in him.

You know what? I'll put a bullet
in you first. How's that?

Well, I'm glad to see
civilian life

hasn't dulled
your sense of humor.

You trained me, remember?

I know your moves.

Why don't you come down here.

I'll show you a couple
of moves you missed.

Should have taken the deal.

By the way,
that's a nasty cut on your eye.

He's to the north,
maybe 300 meters.

Stay down. He's not
going to miss again.

They're almost at the door.

This'll slow them down.

Go, Kono, go!

I'm out.

Me, too.

Here they come!

Definitely the fall
that killed him.

Yeah. Definitely.

You stay here.

Oh!

Ah!

HPD's here.

Chin. Kono.

Go check on the general
and his family.

You have got to start
doing a better job

of picking your friends.

Tell me about.
I picked you, didn't I?

Yeah.

I will accept
whatever punishment

the International Court
hands down for my crimes.

Today is the first day
my son is proud of his father.

Thank you.

You okay?

Yeah.

I should've known.

No, you shouldn't have.
How could you have known?

You knew.
