Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 10, Episode 9 - Ka Ia'au kumu 'ole o Kahilikolo - full transcript

All right, 16 chairs.
That all good?

I actually told Kamekona to cook
for at least 20 people.

Okay. All right, uh,
I'll grab a few more then.

All right, thank you.

Hey, boss?Yeah.

Um, I remember when
my sister passed away.

You know, holidays
are a little bit...

You know, 'cause-'cause
sometimes you feel like you got

a handle on things, and you-you
don't really have a handle...

No. Okay, what I'm trying
to say is,

just that,
this morning,



you know, when you mentioned
that you weren't up

for the annual football game

that we usually do...Yeah.

...just got me thinking that,
um, you know, if you feel like

tomorrow might be
a little bit too much,

you let me know, and
I'll pull the plug.

I appreciate you, man.
I'm good.

Hey.Hi.

Why are you looking
at me like that?

Huh.

You, uh...

Mold.

What?

Mold. I got mold.



Looked under the sink.
I got mold.

Called an expert, comes over.

Long story short,
I need a place to stay.

Six, seven days
a week, tops.

Have we done this before?
You had mold,

and you came, and you stayed?

I don't know. I mean, we live
in a-a tropical climate.

You ever consider
maybe you're the issue?

No.

No, I didn't consider that.

I was gonna stay in a hotel...

Okay, good. You can do that.

But then I thought,
why would I do that?

Why would I waste all that cash

when my best friend's got
an extra room?

No, your-your best friend

doesn't have an extra room.
I'm in the extra room.

Yeah, well, you could sleep
on the couch a couple days.

Eddie's couch.Eddie's a dog.

Dog goes where you put him.

He's just a dog.

Hey. Eddie, don't...
He doesn't...

It's your couch.

Look,

of course you're welcome in
my house, all right. It's fine.

I'm just saying,
if I'm gonna run

a hostel for team members,

I'm making a chore wheel.

'Cause I'm not picking up
after the two of you.

Okay.McGarrett.

Yeah.

No, we're on the way.
On the way.

Thank you.

Hey, what do we got?

Let's take a little walk.

Victim's name
is George Parks.

According to his son, Preston,

George came home a day early
from a business trip.

Gets on the phone with his son

when he gets in
because he thinks

there's intruders
on the property.

Why didn't he call HPD?

Well, apparently,

that was the advice
that his son gave him,

but, uh, George had other
ideas about how to deal

with the intruders.
He went and got

a 12 gauge
from his gun cabinet.

I take it that didn't

work out so well?It did not.

At 11:30 p.m.,
George Parks was killed.

COD was blunt force trauma

to the back of the head.

Having not heard from his
father, Preston gets worried,

he drives to the house
that's where he sees the body

calls 911.

Okay.

So what happened?

He interrupt a robbery?

Yes, uh, but not the
kind you would expect.

Well, this is a first.

They took the tree.

They took the tree

and nothing else.

The thieves didn't even
go inside the house.

The boot prints indicate
a crew of four.

And they were smart about it.
They spray-painted

those security cameras,
ergo no footage from last night.

But why would
you steal a tree?

I mean, you got

all this nice stuff
inside the house, I assume.

W-Who would take a tree?Don't look at me.

It's not just a
tree. It's a koa.

It's highly valuable,
and judging by the size

of its trunk here, I'd say
it's worth upwards of a million.

Dollars?They're very scarce.

The state restricts logging,

which just pushes
the price up even more.

Yeah, that's why
koa wood picked up

the nickname "Hawaiian gold."All right, let's put

the ridiculous price of this
tree on the side for a second.

Obviously, you couldn't see
this thing from the street.

So I imagine whoever did this
has been on the property before.

Have you, uh,
started looking into staff

or, uh, extended family?

Yeah, I wish it was that simple,
because according to the kids,

George had hundreds of parties
and fundraisers here

over the 50-plus years
he lived at the house.

Okay, so half the island
knows about this tree.

Yeah, and it's
a really good thing

Thanksgiving happens
every year,

because I don't think
we're gonna

make it home in time
for this one.

All right,
so CSU's still processing,

but so far, no forensics to
help us I.D. our killers.

All right, look, in the
meantime, you don't steal

something like that without
a plan in place to move it.

So let's see if we can
find potential buyers.

On it.
Yo.

Uh, it's my mom.

Go ahead.

Hello?

What? When?

All right, ca
calm down, Mom.

All right.
Let me call you right back.

She all right?My parents' house
just got robbed.

Go. Take Tani with you.You sure?

We have a case.It's fine. Lou and
Quinn can jump on.

Just go look after your parents

and call us
if you need anything.

Make sure he calls, all right?

Yeah. Come on.
Let me know.

Look, guys,
we know the last thing

you probably want to do
right now is answer questions,

but the bottom line is,
whoever did this

knew that your father
was gonna be out of town.

Okay? So, besides
the three of you,

who else knew
his travel schedule?

Better question is

who didn't know?

Dad always attended

a trade conference in Singapore
over Thanksgiving.

He would give
the ground crew

and house staff
five days off to,

to be with their families.

I'm sorry, I just...

No, it's fine.

Was that something
he did regularly?

Let the staff go away, uh...

Uh, yeah. He's been doing
it since we were kids.

So, um, over the years,
you're talking, like,

50 to 100 people who
knew he'd be gone.

Okay, well, we're gonna need
those names.

Yes.All right? And also,
anybody else you can think of.

Extended family or friends
who had access to this place.

Your father and I were only gone
for maybe 30 minutes.

We went by the market
to pick up a few things,

and when we got back...

Look at this mess.
It's okay, Ma.

All right?

Where's Dad?

He's at the hardware store
to get some supplies

and n-new doors.

Dad doesn't know I'm here.

He told me not to bother you.

To let the police
handle it.
Okay. Mm.

Mrs. Reigns,

why don't you walk us
through what was taken?

Uh, not much in here.

Just an old laptop.

Natano's radio.

Wait, but they didn't
take the TV

or the DVD player.

Did they get your jewelry?

It's worse than that.

They also
took your dad's

cigar box

with all his valuables.

Just promise

you won't tell my dad.

Uh, Mrs. Reigns,

I promise you we're gonna do
everything we can

to get your property back.

Thank you.

Right, Joons?

I've been sniffing
around the black market

for koa wood.

Mm.
Come to find out
there's some guy

who sells trinkets
made of the stuff.

He's operating out of some
tourist trap in Waikele.

Okay.
He goes by the name

of Lolo Joe.

Ah. Sounds reputable.Oh, yeah.

Thing is this when everybody
else is out of koa wood,

this cat always has cords
of the stuff lying around.

Is that right?
Mm-hmm.

Why don't you and Quinn
go pay him a visit?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

Thanks, Duke.

Yeah, keep us posted.

Okay, bye.

All right. HPD's canvassing pawn
shops for your parents' stuff.

Joons, you know, that...

that look you had on your face
at the house, um...

Do you think
you know who did this?

Yeah.

No one outside my family
knows my parents' stash spot...

except for
my hanaibrother Owen.

I didn't know your parents
took someone in.

Yeah. He was
my best friend

growing up.

We were eight years old and...

he'd turn up to class
wearing the same thing

three days in a row.

Come to find out that, uh,
his mom had been arrested

and he was living by himself.

An eight-year-old.

I told my parents.
They took him in.

He lived with us
for about a year.

Then his mom got sober
and demanded that he move

back in with her.Maybe it wasn't him.

Burglars, they

they typically look
for hiding spots just like that.

No, no. This was
a targeted smash-and-grab.

Whoever did this knew exactly
what they were going for

and where to find it.

You want to know the worst bit?

I'm the one
who showed it to him.

We were about, like,
uh, 11 years old,

and I was bragging about
my dad's Purple Heart.

You know, I grabbed it, pulled it out, waving the thing around

like-like it was some sort
of trophy or something.

I was such an idiot.

My dad had put it

in a box because it was
so painful for him to look at.

Owen must have seen

the other things in the box.

Like my dad's gold watch
that he got

when he was pensioned

from his construction job.

He must have gone for the watch

and just grabbed everything else
because it was there.

Well, the thing is,
addiction is genetic.

I dodged that bullet,

but I'm-I'm guessing
Owen wasn't so lucky?

No.

All right.

Take it you don't know
where he lives

or hangs out these days.

No.

But I know
where to start.

Well, look-y here, Officer Liu.

This is a damn smorgasbord
of koa wood, isn't it?

Thought this stuff was supposed
to be hard to come by?

Like finding water
in a desert.
Yeah.

Or a mailman
at a dog park.

Can I help you with something?

Or are you just practicing
for open mic night

at the Laugh Emporium?

Everybody's a critic.Mm-hmm.

Uh, we're with Five-O.

We're looking
into the illicit

koa wood trade here
on the island.

When it comes
to that sort of thing,

everybody tells us that, uh,
you the man.

What's this really about?

You know, somebody stole

a whole koa wood tree

from a private
residence last night.

And then they
killed the owner.

So we figure you may
know something about it.

All right, look.

I didn't know anybody
was gonna die.

But yes.

Some guys approached me
and said they were coming into

a big supply of koa.

I didn't get their names,

but I am supposed to meet
with them in about an hour.

Where?

Stay on that door.

Breach.

Go around back!

Four dead. Chainsaws.

This is definitely the crew
that stole the koa.

Yeah, but the wood's still here.

What were they killed for?

Hey.Hmm.

Heard we got something.

Sure did. For starters,

we identified the men
in the warehouse.

Three of them have records,
including for B and Es.

The fourth guy,
a Daniel Malapit, is clean.

However,
up until six months ago,

he was working
as a gardener for,

you guessed it, George Parks.Malapit knew

the tree was there and
how much it was worth,

so he puts together
a crew to go get it

when he thinks Parks
is out of town.And there's more.

CSU found George Parks's blood
on one of our dead perps.

Okay, so the gardener
and his crew killed Parks.

Who killed them?

Well, unfortunately,
ballistics came back

inconclusive, because
the gun used in those murders

wasn't in the system.

Okay, so fresh off
of this robbery,

all these guys
are taken out,

but whoever killed them,
for whatever reason,

decided to leave
all the valuable wood behind?

Well, actually,
not all the wood.

When CSU was processing,

they discovered
that one section

of the koa tree was missing,
so I compared

these images from CSU

with this old photo of the tree,
and check this out.

The section that was taken
has this large cavity in it.

I'm gonna go out
on a limb here,

and say that, uh, that
ain't no coincidence.

Which got us thinking

what if this hole was
being used as a stash spot?

So maybe it wasn't actually
about the tree itself,

but what was being
hidden inside of it.

And maybe that's why someone
was desperate enough

to track these guys
down and kill them.It's a theory.

All right, let's CSU back
to look at that tree again.

Make sure we're not
missing anything.

And if you're right about

the stash spot of it all,

the only way I'm hiding
something valuable
in a tree is if it's on

myproperty. Which leaves

our victim, George Parks.

And his three kids.

Junior. Long time.

Mrs. Ocampo, is Owen home?

Oh, now you're police,
so it's Mrs. Ocampo, is it?

Owen's not here.

Go ahead.
See for yourself.

When was the last time
you saw Owen?

He came over about
three or four days ago.

I gave him
a hundred dollars to score.

He brought back
50 bucks of crap.

Go ahead, Junior,
say it.

You and that family
of yours

always thought
you were better than us.

Did he tell you how
they took my son away from me?

That would be how you

remember it.
Doesn't make it true.

Look, you don't want us here,

and frankly, the
feeling's mutual.

So why don't you
just tell us

where did Owen score?
Who is his dealer?

If I knew that,
I would've gone myself,

instead of giving my son
the chance to rip me off.

So, uh,
that's everything.

I got better things to do
than talk to cops all day.

Do you even care

that Owen might be in trouble?

Owen's always in trouble.

When you see
my koloheson,

tell him he owes me 50 bucks.

Well, I'm ready to crown
her mother of the year.

Joons, I'm s I'm sorry, I was
just trying to lighten the mood.

No. Don't apologize.
I appreciate it.

You know, it's just...

seeing his mom again is
takes me back.

You know, when Owen used to live
with us, he was doing great.

We were in
Little League together.

You know, he was doing great
in school.

But with a mom like that...

...he never
stood a chance.

Well, your family
was there for him.

You did what
you could.

Tani, I can't tell you
how many times

I tried to get Owen
into rehab.

He turned me down
every time.

To the point where I just,
you know, I stopped offering.

Maybe that
was my mistake.

I mean, you never gave up
on your brother.

Here's what I know
about addicts

you can keep trying
all you want.

But until they're ready to take
responsibility for themselves,

no amount of help is
gonna get them clean.

Speaking of Koa...

I texted him a picture
of the bag of happies

I saw on the table.

I thought he could show
it around the clinic,

see if anyone knew
where it came from.

Boy, did he
come through.

"Check Ala Moana
Beach Park.

The guy under the park
shelter sells the stuff."

Hi.

What's that?

What does it
look like?

This is highly
suspicious behavior.

What's going on?It's a coffee.

I'm bringing my landlord
a nice cup of coffee.

Okay. You're not getting
the guest room.And you don't have to

have the coffee.
I just came here to tell you

that we are looking
into the Parks kids

alibis, phone records
from last night.

That's all.All right.

Do me a favor, just take it easy
on the caffeine, all right?

You know you get all jittery
and stupid when you drink

too much coffee.Hey, guys, we just
caught a break.

CSU was processing
the koa tree

and found an earring lodged in
the lower section of the trunk.

DNA on it popped for a Jane Doe
cold case from 15 years ago.

Is this gonna be disgusting?

Yes."Jane Doe, age 15

"to 20, murdered
and dismembered.

"Some, but not all

"of the body parts were
found in burial sites

in Pupukea-Paumalu
Forest Reserve."

So, they chopped her up.Uh, it turns out

the head was the only part
that was never recovered.

So it's possible we just found
what was inside that tree.Yeah.

Okay, wait.
Hold on, hold on.

Are you good?

Yeah.Okay.

Junior.

Beat it.

How is it,
brotherman?

You know, it's
been, been a while

since we hung out
and stuff, bro.

Yeah. No, no, don't do that,
okay? You know why I'm here.

J... man, I'm, uh...

I'm sorry. Okay?
I... I was hurting,

and I didn't...

Where's the stuff
you stole?

Where'd you pawn it?

Oh... it's the
spot on Mokauea.

You were my brother, man.

My parents
took you in.

How?
How could you do that?

My dad's Purple Heart?

No-no-no-no, I-I wouldn't,
I wouldn't sell that.

It's still in the, in the
cigar box. I got it.Yeah? Where?

Um, it's at the motel
I'm crashing at.

I can take you there.

Empty your pockets.

Do it.

What's this?
What's this?

Get up. Get up.

See, we spent this whole day
trying to find your ass

before HPD did.
Forget about the robbery.

Having that stuff
right there

can send you away
for a long time in Halawa.I know.

Yeah, you know?I know.

Well, you don't act like
someone who knows.

You act like someone
who doesn't care

if they live
or they die, man.

You have two options.

You come with me and
I turn you in for the robbery...

...or you go to rehab.

My brother works
for a rehab clinic.

There's a spot there for you.

But you have to agree

to go today.

Just say yes.

All you got to do
is say yes.

Hey, credit where it's due.

Whichever sibling killed
our Jane Doe

was smart to hide the head
in a state-protected tree

on private property.

Well, why hold on
to the head at all?

Was the killer keeping it
for some kind of sick trophy?

Well, think about it
practically, right?

A teenage girl is probably not
gonna have prints in the system,

but she's gonna have
dental records.

Well, that would explain
why you'd want

to keep the skull close.Right. And it
would've worked

if the chainsaw people
didn't come around.All right,

so, 15 years ago,

Darren, Preston and Olivia
were living at the house

at the time
of the murder.

Tell you who I like
for this thing.

I did a little deeper dive
into Larry, Moe and Girly's

phone records.

Boy, I got a story to tell you.

All right, Preston,
we're gonna get right to it,

because we already know
you lied to us.

Lied to you?
About what?

Well, for starters,
your timeline.

You said that when your father
didn't answer the phone,

you went right
to his place.

And when you got there,
you called 911.

Problem is, there's 45 minutes
between the last time

you tried him
and that 911 call.

Yeah, that kind of strikes me
as odd.

Yeah.I mean, that
time of night,

no traffic on the road...

Mm.And you live

maybe 15 minutes away
from your father's house, tops.

Now, I ain't no math major,
but, uh,

that sounds like
30 minutes missing to me.

So what happened
in that half an hour, Preston?

See,
I think that left you

justenough time

to get over to that warehouse

and kill those guys

who stole your father's...Whoa, whoa. W-Wait, I didn't...

What? Who do you think
you're talking to?!

You needed to get

at that tree
so you could grab

that skull you stashed there

15 years back.Skull?

What-what skull?This one.

It's amazing
what sniffer dogs can find.

Yeah. Found this, too.

See that?

One of her earrings.

Tell us who she was.

Her name was...

was Lena.

Lena Schmidt.

She was a
backpacker.

From Germany. Okay?

I met her at-at a beach party,
and I brought her home.

This poor

young woman, who'd been sleeping
in tents and youth hostels.

Until along comes
little Richie Rich

with just the thing
to impress her,

his daddy's huge estate.

Anyone else at the house?

No.

My dad was out of town,
and so...

none of the staff were around.

Liv and Darren were...

at the movies.

So, with just you and Lena then,

guess you decided
to have a little party.

Huh? A little drinking.

Drugs, too, I imagine.

Yeah.

We were just messing around.

And then
and then I...

I just I-I jokingly

I pushed her into the pool,

and then, uh,
she hit her head.

And I... I didn't mean
for it to happen.

But you did mean

to cut her body
into little pieces

and scatter her
around the forest.

Just so we're clear.

I panicked.

And...

That kind of scandal, I...

didn't want my mistake
to ruin my father.

And so I...

I took care of the problem.

"Problem."

I guess
that's one way to put it.

We're not done,
Preston.

We're gonna need you to walk us
through the last 15 hours.

And don't leave out any details.

Well, did he buy it?

Oh, he bought it
all right.

Surprised it worked.

This one here's
a regular Meryl Streep.

Oh, yeah?

Where'd you get
this idea anyway?

Hamlet,tenth grade English.

And shout-out to Noelani
for supplying the prop.
Hmm.

So did Preston give up
the location

of the real skull?Oh, yeah, yeah.

Since he thought
we already found it,

he didn't think twice about
telling us where he tossed it.

In the Ala Wai Canal,
off McCully.

I'm gonna get CSU on it.

Have them take the skull
out of the water.

All right.

Uh-oh, I know that look.
What's up, Lou?

I don't know about you,
but I don't think

I'm buying this kid's
confession.

He went right to the waterworks
as soon as he saw this thing.

That kind of reaction?
I mean, look at him.

Do you really think this kid
is the kind to go around

chopping up backpackers,
and then spreading their parts

all over the island
like Johnny Bodyseed?

One, thank you

for the vivid imagery, and two,

I'm inclined to agree.

But the question is,

if Preston didn't do it, then
who is he protecting, and why?

I couldn't sell a Purple Heart.

Your pop, man, h-he...
he was so good to me

back in the day.

I'm sorry... for everything.

It's all about
what you do next.

All right?

I'm proud of you, Joons.

These letters...

they have military stamps.

They're from Afghanistan.

Did you write those to your dad
while you were stationed there?

No, I've never
seen them before.

These are the remains
of Lena Schmidt,

including the skull that CSU
just pulled out of the canal.

Problem is,

your guy that
confessed,

he and Lena's cranium

are telling two
very different stories.

Is that so?

Well, by all means,
elaborate.

Well, Lena was
definitely wounded

and quite possibly
unconscious

after the fall your
suspect described,

but that's not
what killed her.

Here's where her head
struck the lip of the pool.

Mm-hmm.

But these three
depressed fractures

here, here and here

on the other side of the skull,
that's what killed her.

So this was no accident.

This was cold-blooded murder.

I didn't make Preston Parks
for a murderer before,

and I still don't.

And besides,
if Preston was guilty,

he would have known
the cause of death.

So the fake skull
wouldn't have fooled him.

Then why confess to
a murder you didn't commit?

Unless you're covering for
someone else in your family.

I know you wanted
to talk to the family,

but I'm afraid
Preston isn't here.

Frankly, I'm worried.

He hasn't been
answering my calls.

Oh, that's 'cause,
uh, he's with us.

Why?Lena Schmidt.

Who?

The woman who was murdered here
15 years ago,

that's who.

I'm sorry, what?

Oh, stop it. Preston already
confessed to the murder.

But we don't believe
his confession

'cause he didn't even know
how the girl died.

But we think you do.

Olivia?Not now, Diane.

You want to do this
in front of Diane
and the whole family?

Or you want to get 'em
out of here? Your call.

Diane, take everyone
outside, please.

Absolutely.
Come on, guys.

Let's give them some privacy.How dare you.

Coming in here with
these preposterous lies.

It's bad enough that
our family Thanksgiving

was turned into a wake.

And now this?Oh, this is just the start.

That's enough.

Get out. If you want
to say another word,

you can say it
to our lawyers.

Damn it, just
tell the truth.

For 15 years,

you let me think
that I was a murderer.

That I was responsible,
that I killed her.

When I pulled her
out of the pool,

I thought she was dead.

Help!

Lena...

I was a mess.

You said that you would
take care of it.

It's gonna be okay.

So you just gave
me some pills

and you sent me to bed.

But she wasn't dead...

was she?

Instead of calling
an ambulance,

you just... you just
finished her off.

You sound insane.

Why why would we
do that?

How 'bout we begin
with the fact

that all of you here
were drinking and
using illegal drugs.

Plus, there was the
potential manslaughter charge

on deck for Preston

if she didn't survive.And if she did,

well, that leaves
this family

wide open for
a multimillion dollar

civil suit from Lena's
family back in Germany.

All of which would damage

your father's good name
and fortune.

Not to mention your inheritance.

I thought you did this

amazing thing for me.

That you put yourself
on the line to cover up

for my stupid,
horrible mistake.

So when they picked
me up today,

I confessed to protect you.

Now that I know the truth,

I'm done. I'm done.

She could have lived,

but you killed her.

You killed her.

All right, turn around

and face the fruit salad.

You're under arrest for
the murder of Lena Schmidt.

Let's go.

What do you say, Duke?

How'd it go with that warrant
at Darren Parks's house?

Found a dismantled AR-15
stashed in the garden shed.

Ballistics already linked
the bullets to the warehouse.

Did you get the real
timeline for last night?

Yeah, Preston
did come straight here,

saw his dad's body in the grass,
like he said,

but he also saw
the tree theft in progress.

That's when he texted
the sister.

She told him
to follow the truck

at a distance, see where they
were taking the wood.

When Preston got there,
he gave Olivia the address,

then came back here to call 911.

Meanwhile, Darren
heads over to the warehouse

and shoots those guys up.

Then he hooks back up
with Olivia, and they both go

to dump the skull
in the Ala Wai.

Well...
doesn't seem like

the Parks family has a lot
to be thankful for this year.

For you.

Your mom's things?

Yeah, my partner's
getting them now.

Who did this?

Couple of nobodies,
tweakers.

Thank you.

Of course.

New doors look good.

Yeah, glass
is double-paned.

Nice, nice.

I saw the letters.

You told me not to write you
from deployment.

Said you didn't want to know
what was going on with me.

But now I find out that, uh,
this whole time,

you got my C.O.
to write you.

You were keeping
tabs on me.

Look, I know you're not big
on telling people how you feel,

but these letters, they, uh,
they tell me plenty.

And I can see you've
read them a bunch of times.

You know what
this says to me?

Says to me that me and you
still have a shot.

So I'm never

gonna stop trying to make things
right with you, Dad.

And I know you're mad at me
for what I did

at the parole hearing,
but I just want... just, like,

let me explain
to you...

I wasn't angry at you.
I was angry at myself.

I realize that now.

You were able
to forgive.

I was not.

I won't make
that mistake again.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I'd invite you over
to stay for the meal,

but your mother and I
never got around to cooking.

Ah, nah, it's okay
uh, it's okay.

I think I, uh, I know a place
where we can all eat.

Oh.
For free.

Even better.
Yeah.

Mom.

Princess, wow, everything
looks fantastic. It's amazing.

You doing all right?
It looks like you got a lot

of cooks in the kitchen here.

What, are you crazy?

There's only one cook here

me.
All right.

I'm assisting.And I'm supervising.

And I am tasting.

Okay,

well, as long as you're cool,

I'll let you guys stay
at it then, okay?

You're gonna love what
we're cooking here.

And because it's
Thanksgiving, hon,

and because
you're 'ohana,

I'm not gonna send
you a bill, okay?

Oh.Until next month.

Ha!

That's, uh,
it's very touching, thank you.

What?

Aw. How lucky are you?

You get to hang out with this
very good boy for a week.

Yeah, well,
he's the only one

who doesn't drive me
completely crazy.

Hey, did you, um,

did you end up connecting

with Lena Schmidt's family
in Germany?

Yeah, I ended up talking
to the father.

He kept saying
how relieved he was

to finally be able to get
some closure to this thing.

So am I gonna get to meet
your family today?

Uh, no, no.

My, uh, my ex has
the kids this year.

Is she your ex?

Because I keep getting
conflicting reports.

Huh. Worse than high school,
these people.

Yeah, she's my ex,

but we're, I don't know, I guess
trying to maybe work it out,

just give it another shot.

How's that going?

Uh, well, she's not here.

Well, maybe I'll meet her
next Thanksgiving.

Yeah, maybe.
Hey, everyone,

these are my folks.

Mr. and Mrs. Reigns,
what a pleasure

it is to finally
meet you both.Pleasure is ours.

Oh, nice to meet you.Thank you, Commander.

Oh, please call me Steve,
and thank you,

guys, for coming by.
I know it's been a rough day.

We were, we were sorry
to hear about the robbery.

Appreciate that.

I mean, we're just lucky

Junior was able
to sort this all out.

Yeah, well,
Junior has

a habit of doing that, sir.

Junior, you want
to, uh, you want

to get your folks
something to drink?Yeah.

Listen, while I got you
guys here, you should know

that your son is
one of the finest men

I've ever had the honor
of working with.

Somebody
raised him right.
Thank you.

Hi.
Hey.

Special delivery.

Mrs. Reigns, here
is all your stuff.

Ni'ihau shell necklace
included.

Honey, you have no idea what
this means to me. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, hey, guys,
why don't you, uh,

come on over and meet
Junior's parents.Aloha.

Aloha.
Nice to meet you.

It's so good to see
them here with you.

I take it your talk
went well?

Yeah. Yeah,
it went great.
Good.

Hi. How are you?Nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Yeah, you covered
that today.

No, no, um,
not just for today,

for everything.

I don't know
if you remember,

but exactly a year ago today,

you gave me
a pep talk

before I went to my folks' place
for Thanksgiving.

Since then,

things between me and my dad
have, you know,

been up and down,

mainly down.

Mm-hmm.
But you

have been the constant
in my life.

Thank you.

Where else would
I be, Joon?

Yeah.

Well, I, um,

I know I've been so distracted

with-with my dad and everything.

Y-You know,
other things in my life

have kind of taken a back seat.

I just wanted
you to know

that I'm looking forward
to changing that now.

That sounds good.Yeah?

Uh-huh.

Let me ask you
a question

Is there actually
gonna be any food left

when it's time to sit down
to eat with these nice people?

Not if I can help it. Unbelievable.

Hey, Renee and the kids will
be here in about ten minutes,

and, uh, baby brother,
Chef Percy,

is gonna make
an appearance.

Oh, good. He bringing dessert?Damn right.

Kouign-amann all around.That's right.

I think it's really nice
that you're offering

to let Danny stay here while
they're working on his place.

Lou, come on.
You know as well as I do,

there's no mold in
that man's house.

Why, Steve McGarrett.
Huh?

Whatever
do you mean?

First of all, he's got the
worst poker face on the planet.

Yeah.
And, second of all,
I get it.

It's been a, uh, it's been
an interesting year for me,

between Joe and Mom.
He's worried about me.

He wants to keep an eye on me,
I get it.

Nice when you got
a lot of friends

that actually
give a damn about you,

ain't it?Yes, it is.

Speaking of
poker faces,

you better work on yours.
The man is a detective.

He's eventually gonna know
that you know that he's lying.

He doesn't have
to figure it out tonight.

Hey, Steve.

What are you
looking at?
Hey, catch.

What do you say,

play a few downs before we eat?

Let's go.
