Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 10, Episode 7 - Ka 'i'o - full transcript

Commander McGarrett.

I'm Agent Coen.

These are my partners,
Detective Danny Williams,

Captain Lou Grover.

What can I do for you?

There's a faction
of the Sinaloa Cartel

run by a woman
named Carmen Lucia Perez.

I'm sure you've heard of her?

Yeah, of course.

What about her?

For the past three years,
Central Intelligence and the DEA



have been trying
to take her down.

Now, we were able
to penetrate her operation

in Mexico
and get very close to her.

And?

And unfortunately,
Edson Cavallo,

one of our officers we had
in-country, was killed.

I'm very sorry about that,

but what does it have
to do with him?

My director wanted you
to know that it was

our other officer
who pulled the trigger.

Officer name: Shelburne.

Your mother.

No, your intel's bad.

We had a man on the ground
in Mexico retrieve the slug



from Cavallo's body
at the morgue.

The bullet came from Shelburne's
government-issue firearm.

There is no way my mother
killed a fellow CIA officer.

We want to bring Shelburne
back home safely,

hear the story
from her directly.

So I go downrange
to get my mother,

and while I'm there, you
ask me to take out Lucia?

Because you can't do
the job yourself. Is that it?

We're offering you the chance
to save your mother here,

- Commander.
- Is that right? Let me ask you a question:

why didn't Langley
contact me directly?

Let me help you.

You went through
the State Department in Colombia

because this operation
is now disavowed.

Because if Shelburne's
gone rogue,

then there could be blood
on the government's hands.

Right, but you'd rather
bloody these hands

- instead.
- If you decline...

this proposition, we can't promise
this will end well for her.

This woman gave up her
life for this country.

She gave up her family for
your agency. You know that?

It's a brand-new world,
Commander.

The people I work for
don't know your mother.

To them, she's just
a compromised asset.

- And I don't know you.
- Listen, I understand you're upset.

I'm just the messenger here.

- Commander.
- What?

Read the brief.

You now have all the details
you need for infil,

including your point man
in Colombia.

What are you talking about, Colombia?
Why wouldn't I fly into Mexico?

Lucia's got a lot of Mexican
officials in her pocket,

gets advanced warnings
of any flagged operators

or law enforcement specialists
entering the country.

That's great.
And I need to be clear here.

If you participate,
you do it alone.

Aside from your point man
in Bogotá, you fly alone,

you operate alone.

Director's orders.

And also, Commander,

if you fail to follow
those orders,

or you and Shelburne
attempt reentry into the U.S.

without killing or capturing
Carmen Lucia,

your next conversation
will be with someone

much higher up than me.

I got to go find Doris.

They estimate upward
of 20 tons of product

coming into the U.S.
every month.

This is her, Carmen Lucia Perez.

Lucia's always preferred
the company of women,

biblically speaking.

Doris was smart.

She saw this as her way in.

This file was labeled
La Tela de Araña,

which means The Spider's Web.

Check this out.

All right. Nobody outside of the
cartel has spent this much time,

gotten as close to Lucia
and lived.

All right, so we don't know
exactly what the plan is,

but Doris has always
done things her own way.

Yeah, but when
you start breaking

that many tradecraft
rules downrange,

it completely freaks out
Central Intelligence.

So that leaves us
only two scenarios.

Either Steve is gonna have
to go in there and get her,

or the implication is that
they have so much dirt on Doris

that they're gonna be able
to put her away for a long time.

They're not gonna put her away.

If this doesn't go the way they
want it, they're gonna kill her.

Coen suggested they have

a termination order
planned for Doris.

No... this is a highly explosive situation

to be walking into, Steve.

What exactly is your plan?

This is my point man in Bogotá,

DEA Captain Mateo Dias.

I get myself into Colombia,

this guy gets me over the border
into Panama with no footprint.

From there, he boards
a cargo plane into Mexico.

- And then what?
- There's a CIA safe house and weapons cache in Sinaloa

that should facilitate
all my needs.

So they say.
And that we cannot be involved.

The Secretary of
Defense weighed in.

He was very clear:
McGarrett only.

Wait, why is
the Pentagon involved

in an unsanctioned operation?

These are murky waters.

I just need to get downrange,

kill Lucia,
and get Doris the hell out.

Steve, look at this.
D-Does this kind of thing

look like a one-man operation?

Because to me, it looks like

- a suicide mission.
- I said the same thing.

There's a possibility
that if I can't hold the line,

Junior comes downrange

to watch my six. Sir?

I'm just talking about
absolute, worst-case scenario.

You do not make that
decision unilaterally,

no matter how much time goes by.

If this turns into
a-a deep cover,

long-term operation, so be it.

You only move after I reach out.

Is that clear? Copy.

Okay, just so we're all clear,

you're go into
the cartel's backyard

and you're gonna take out
the most heavily-guarded

human being on the planet,

you're gonna walk out with your
mother, who's there voluntarily,

by the way. I mean, it's-it's,

it's beyond crazy.

Is that your official position
on this?

I don't have,

an official position.
It's-it's your mother.

You're gonna do what
you're gonna do, so...

Lou?

Like it or not, man,

that's your mother,
and if you don't

go down there
and see for yourself,

you're gonna regret it
for the rest of your life.

You've been driving
for ten hours straight.

You want to switch out?

I'm fine, thank you.

We got to be getting close,
you know?

We are.

Run me through the plan
one last time?

Dias, again with this?

Humor me, Commander.

You're gonna drop me
at a small fishing port

at the southern edge of Turbo,
where a boat, the Juarez,

is gonna take me
through Panama City.

I'm gonna ask
the captain one question:

"¿Qué pescan?"

He's gonna respond
with "Marlin negro."

If he says anything else,
I'll walk away.

And?

Once in Panama,
I board a small cargo plane,

which is gonna take me through
to Mexico City.

From there, I'm on my own.

Good.

At least one of us
will sleep well tonight.

Here, give this to the pilot
at the airstrip in Panama.

You trust these coyotes?

With my blood.

We good here?

We're good.

Alto.

I thought you just said
we're good.

I'm sure we are.

This is Colombia, my friend.

Buenas tardes, caballeros.

Identificación, por favor.

Drive, Dias, drive, drive,

drive, drive, drive, drive.

Dias.

Dias?

Hey, gringo...

Okay.

Gracias.

De nada.

Cuídate.

Did he say he wanted us
to come back in so late?

No, just that he wanted us
all here now.

You think it's
news about the boss?

Come on, just go.

Yo, thanks for coming.

Yeah, sure, sure.

Now you want to tell us
what's going on.

I found him.

I found Steve.

You did what?

Yeah. I figured
if Steve was still alive,

he would be in Sinaloa
by now, so,

for the past three weeks
I've been filtering through

satellite footage at Culiacán.

- So that's what all the all-nighters have been about?
- Yeah.

Despite the fact that
he specifically told you

not to look for him.

Yeah, well, I can't just
sit around not knowing

whether he's dead or alive.

What'd you find, Junior?

The average male height
in Mexico is five foot

to five-foot-seven.

There's an algorithm
that uses time stamp

to determine sun angle

and then people's height
by their shadows.

So I started following up
on leads on anyone

who was six-foot-plus.

I cross-referenced those
with local traffic

and CCTV footage
and hit a bunch of dead ends

until I found this.

A target in Old Town.

He repeats the same loop
twice a week

through the open-air market.

What do you want to do?

We're not gonna do anything.
Obviously, I'm very happy

that he's alive, but,
he specifically told us

he wanted to do this alone.

Yeah, but he said that
I could watch his six.

You heard him say that, yes?

I heard him say that he'd
call you if he needed you,

which he has not done.

Danny, the reason why
he hasn't moved in yet

is because he can't figure out
how to go live

without getting himself killed.

We all saw what
he was up against.

And the reason why
he hasn't called

is because he doesn't want
to jeopardize anyone's safety,

especially his and Doris's.

And he isn't about to walk away

from his mother
out there either.

There's no way, which means we
can continue holding our breath

and living in hope,
or you can nod your head

and bless me and the SEALs
to go in there and help him out.

Danny, this is the move,
even if Steve can't say it.

What's in the bag?

Carmen Lucia got you
running around,

paying her people off now?

What the hell are
you doing here?

How long have you
been tracking me?

Long enough to watch you
murder someone.

The guy at the port, who was he?

You have no idea what
you're talking about.

I didn't murder anyone.

You were there. It was your gun.

Where's your partner?
What happened to him?

Look, you don't understand
what's happening here,

and I don't have
time to explain,

but please trust me.

Get the hell out
of this country,

and I'll contact you ASAP.

No, no, you won't.

And I ain't leaving without you.

You're right, I don't know
what's going on here,

but I have my theories,
and I know you.

Which means there is no way
in good conscience

that I can walk away
from this one.

Whatever you think,
stop thinking it.

Yes, my mission went sideways,

but I swear to you,
I'm staying dark

for the right reasons.

Your life will be compromised

in a way that I can't
help you, Steve,

if you don't leave
this country immediately.

My life was compromised
the day you walked out of it.

So, now,

you and I, we're gonna walk out
of here together.

You understand me?

There's a rear entrance
through this restroom.

Move. Come on.

God help me,

if you blow this for me

and we survive,

I may just kill you myself.

Buenos días.

Buenos días...

¿Cómo está? Estoy bien, estoy bien.

Steve!

Steve!

What the hell are
you doing here?

What did I tell you?

It's been so long,
I couldn't remember.

So...

I had to make sure the cartel

believed that both me
and Dias were dead.

Hence me living in a hole
for the last couple of months.

How'd you find me?

Same way you'd find me.

Look,

I know you wanted
to do this alone,

but I had to come ask you
myself.

Why haven't you moved in yet

and why are you
still in-country, Steve?

I listen to the chatter.

I take notes and follow along
the best I can, but...

Doris is rarely alone.

Well, you intercepted any comms
that involved your mom?

No, but I had a conversation
with her today.

What?

You spoke to Doris

in person? Where? How?

Right here.

We had less
than two minutes together.

I threw her a lifeline.
She cut the rope.

You want to pull her out?

That's exactly
what I want to do.

Something's very wrong here.

What do you mean?

Let's just say

I've seen things

that tells me she's unstable

and she needs to be removed.

Well, she didn't leave with you,
so I'm guessing

she thinks she has

this whole situation
under control?

Yeah, but she doesn't,
all right? Trust me.

We're gonna go in, we're gonna

pull her out. We'll comb through

the details afterwards.

Hey, boss.

Just out of interest,

what would you have done
if we didn't turn up?

All right, psycho.

ANFO works.

We'll use it.

What about guns?

You hit that cache yet?

Yeah.

Once. It's good.

Figured I'd grab
something bigger on the day.

When do you want to move?

We got wheels?

Yeah.

All right, let's hit the cache.

Then we'll gear up
an early-morning wake-up call

for Lucia.

Hey, Joons,

- can you hear us?
- Yeah, I got you.

Got the animal with you?

Yeah, he's right here.

Hey.

It's good to hear
your voice, buddy.

You, too, Danny.

Guys, listen up.

After some gentle persuasion
from Lou,

Coen released the CIA's full,
unredacted file on Carmen Lucia.

And after some digging,
we found travel documents

related to Doris.

Seems Doris left Mexico

and went to Switzerland,
traveling under the name

Shelly Mettler.

When was this?

Ten weeks ago.

The Swiss Department of Defence
and Civil Protection

lost track of her after she left.

Zurich's Kloten Airport.

That was the Agency's last
update before the redaction.

All right, are we thinking
cartel banking transactions?

Steve, we think Doris might be

in this thing deeper
than we thought.

Roger that. We're on the move.

You're about to
discover the truth.

You ready for this?

I've been having this dream.

Every night.

I wake up and...

she's sitting on the edge
of the bed.

She's reading to me, like
when I was a kid, you know?

I'm looking up at her.
I can see the book,

it's Moby Dick, and I can see

her lips moving.
But I can't hear...

so I say her name.

And, she just keeps reading.

And I panic, right?

I start yelling.
And then I realize...

she can't hear me either.

She shuts the book
and she smiles at me

and then she kisses my head
and she leaves.

Every night I wake up
drenched in sweat.

I'm not ready
to lose her, Junior.

I just pray to God
my decision to go in there

is the right one.

Copy.

All right, this morning's deal
goes down right here.

All right, you sure? Because
we only got one shot at this.

Lucia has 100% exclusivity
in this entire port.

Today, she's meeting
somebody called Rosita.

That name's been coming up
in the comms

I've been monitoring.

- Rosita? Who is that? Another cartel boss?
- I don't know,

but the meet's going down today.

- All right?
- All right.

Just hold up a second.

I don't even know how to start
to say thank you...

to you guys for having my back,
so I'm not gonna try,

but I will say this:

What we're about to do

is completely insane
on every level. All right?

Our chances of success
are extremely low.

We're going up against
a much larger army

of complete animals,

who, and I promise you,
if they get their hands on us

and this thing goes south,

will make us wish

that they'd put a bullet
in our heads.

Well, at least

we get tortured together?

Nice speech, though, Steve.Yeah.

Yeah, we good?

Yeah.

Now let's get it.

Hoo-yah.

I got movement,

south road.

Fellas, I got Rosita.

- Where is she?
- On the water.

Rosita isn't a person.

She's a 900-foot
Panamax container vessel.

Copy that.

Everybody see

that mini sub on the trailer?

That sub is a drug shuttle.

There's a lot
of product here today, boys.

Everybody stay sharp.

We're looking
at about 50 targets.

Sounds fun.

I got your mom, Steve.

Yeah, I got her, too.

Everybody good?

- Junior?
- Ready.

- Ethan?
- Good.

Mike, how copy?

Set.

All right, Junior, it's all you.

Hey, para, para, para, para.

Action.

- Ethan?
- Moving.

Ready on one, Mike.

Copy one.

Ready on two.

Ready.

Copy two.

Where's three?

Ethan, you all right?

Little busy right now.

Mike!

Whenever you're ready, Mike.

Ethan, you good?

I'm solid.

Mike, go on three.

- Copy.
- Moving!

Hey. You all right?

Where is she?

I just asked you a question.

What are you doing?

That's how this ends?

You're gonna kill me now?

Why don't you go ahead.
Go ahead and pull that trigger.

Confirm my instincts.

Your instincts?

What are your instincts, Steve?
Come on, tell me.

No. Let me guess. Let me guess.

The world I live in is
no longer black and white?

That I've changed?

Is that it?

I know you, Doris.

I'm probably the only person
that ever has.

So it's Doris now?

I know things about Carmen Lucia

that you don't know, all right?

I've seen her victims,
I've read the files.

Why are you so arrogant

to think
that I didn't do my research?

That I don't know
as much as you do?

How do you think
I've gotten this far?

If you'd been doing
yourresearch,

then you would have seen

that my relationship with her
is completely different

than any of those other women.

I've actually got
something going on here.

And now you've destroyed it.

North clear. Can't see her.

Steve, how copy?

Good copy. Good copy.

Shelburne secure.

Search the perimeter for Lucia.

Did you kill your partner, Ma?

You're looking for a payday,

and you killed your partner
to get it, didn't you?

I have to get out
of this life, Steve!

I have to!

My God.

You don't get it, Steve.

I got nothing to show for
all my years in the Agency.

Nothing.

A whole life of-of fear
and, and guilt for what?

For what?

What was the point of it all?

I lost my husband,

my children, I lost my identity.

So you went for a payday?

It's always been so-so clear

for you, hasn't it, Steve?

So clear, so...

Everything so simple and easy.Yeah.

My life's a real cakewalk, Ma.

You have no idea
what this life has done to me.

No idea of myloss.

Stop thinking about yourself

for one second,
and think about my loss.

A government
that I gave everything to

that has raked every shred
of good out of me

for its own benefit.

A family that never

understood me
for the sacrifices I made...

for them!

You never made those sacrifices
for us, Ma.

I'm-I'm sorry, and
I love you, I do, but I...

I can't cosign this pathology.

I don't care
what you do anymore,

Steve, I don't,

because you've just ruined
my one chance

that I've worked for

to finally break away from
all of it and do something good.

Where is she, Ma?

All I needed was
this one payment.

Ma, where is she?!

I wouldn't do that.

Lay down your weapons.

Now.

And the other.

Who is this man that's caused
so much trouble?

There was too much talk

on the radio about
this morning. I...

I warned the men that
we might be compromised.

This man and his friends
come and kill all my men,

yet he will not kill you.

Why?

So strange, no?

After I killed
your other CIA friend,

I, I thought our troubles
were behind us.

Stop.

It's okay.

He can watch you die.

I'm her son.

Her son?

You are the one
we missed in Paramillo.

I admire your patience.

And I thank you
for your honesty.

On second thought...

Mom!

You can watch each other die.

Mom!

Mom!

Ma.

Field dressing!

Right now!

Hey.

It's okay, Mom. It's okay.

Don't talk, okay?

Don't try to talk.
It's okay. I got you.

I got you.

I got you.

Okay?

Okay.

I love you so much.

I'm sorry, baby.

I'm so sorry.

I love you, Ma.

Easy.

Easy, easy, easy. Let it go.
Come back. Come on.

Come on, right here. Sit down.

Sit down. Come on.

Come on. Come back.
All right, sit down.

You need to sign this.

Just so you know,

Shelburne outfitted that sub

and Lucia's Bentley
with audio and tracking devices.

She stayed on target

till the end.

She did her job.

I'm sorry about your mother,
Commander.

- Hiya.
- What are you doing

- in Washington?
- I just...

want to make sure you make it
back to Hawaii, that's all.

That makes sense.

Come in.

Thanks.

"Thank you for your past

"and present service
to our country

"and your unyielding commitment

to national security."

Thanks.Yeah.

Well, big score for the DEA.

Two tons of cocaine

will not be hitting the
streets now 'cause of you.

Yeah, I heard.

I'm sorry about your mom, Steve.

Thank you.

The Bureau, they,

they retrieved her laptop
and her cell phone.

Turns out she had opened
three accounts in Zurich.

One of 'em, under the
name Joanie McGarrett,

had half a million
dollars in it, U.S.

And the other two were
for you and your sister.

Didn't have any money
in 'em yet.

Guess that's

what this whole thing was about,

making sure you guys
were set up financially.

You okay?

Define "okay" for me.

You know, at the end of the day,

she was trying to
do something good.

Yeah.

I just wish she realized
all she had to do

was get on an airplane
and come home.

You know?

From the minute

that woman walked out
of my life,

the only thing I've ever wanted
is to have her back in it.

So, am I okay?
I don't know if I'm okay,

but I do know...

that none of this
is on our terms.

None of what?

Life.

We never really get to choose
how it's gonna look.

Only what we do

with the information
when we get it.

This whole Five-O thing started
with me burying my father.

Then Joe White last year.

Now my mother.

So I don't know how I feel,

but I do know that we don't get
life on our terms, Danny.

It's life on life's terms...

or not at all.

Hey, Steve.

- What?
- The bed.

That's...

that's big enough for two people, right?

- No.
- I just... I just did,

ten hours on a coach flight
next to a mouth breather.

- You're on the couch.
- Steve?

I'll sleep on the couch.
