Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - Ki'ilua - full transcript

While the murder of reporter Bethany Morris puzzles the team, Steve accepts on the spot to go to North Korea with CIA analyst Jenna Kaye who assures him her fiancé, agent Jonathan, is being held there by rebels who demand ransom. Steve soon spots a trap, but is captured when Jenna turns on him. While they are incarcerated and tortured by Wo Fat, who wants father McKenna's findings, the team back in Hawai works out Jenna was playing a dirty game. Joe White and some of Steve's SEAL mates help them mount an instant officious rescue mission.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING
INDISTINCTLY]

[LAUGHING]

[LINE RINGING]

HENRY [ON RECORDING]:
It's Henry. Leave a message.

Henry, it's Bethany.

I know this is gonna sound crazy,
but I think someone's following me.

Just in case,
I'm gonna e-mail you a file.

Call me as soon as you get this.

[SCREAMS]

MALIA: I don't think there's
anything sexier than a man

who can steal me away from
work and can cook.



Try.

Mm.

Oh, hold on.
You got a little something.

Oh!

What...? What are you doing?

I'm fixing a mistake.

[GASPS]

This should have been on your
finger a long time ago.

Chin Ho Kelly,

I would like nothing
more than to be your wife.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

MALIA:
Are you gonna get that?

CHIN:
Get what?

[MALIA LAUGHS]



CHIN:
Kelly.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Victim's name is Bethany Morris.

She was a reporter for
The Pacific Register.

What happened?

Based on the abraded injuries and
splinters in her hands,

it would seem that
the victim was hiding

before she was dragged out from
under her bed.

- So that's when her neck was broken?
MAX: Correct. It's very sad.

Yes, besides that, we have no prints,
no signs of forced entry.

Perp was in and out,
very clean, very quick.

I just got off the phone with a
Henry Dobson, Bethany's editor.

She left him a voicemail just after
midnight last night.

Based on rigor, that is within
my estimated TOD.

Did he say what the message was?

Yeah, Bethany told Henry she was
being followed,

and she was gonna e-mail him a
file. He never got it.

Okay, we got a monitor, keyboard,
cables. No computer tower.

Killer could've taken that.

I wonder what she was working on.

I don't know what file Bethany was
talking about in her message,

but I'm pretty sure it had something to
do with Athis Logistics.

- Who are they?
- A large shipping company on O'ahu.

Bethany blew the whistle on them
last month

for dumping benzene waste in the
ocean just two miles offshore.

They couldn't have been happy
when that story came out.

The day it hit, company stock
took a dive,

lost 200 million in a day.

She started getting death threats.

Eight in the last three weeks.

Any of them sound legitimate?

The head of my security did
forward me this voicemail

from her office phone
a couple of days ago.

MAN [ON RECORDING]:
Keep away from Athis.

You publish one more thing,
you're a dead woman.

Sounds legit to me.

MAN [ON RECORDING]:
Keep away from Athis.

You publish one more thing,
you're a dead woman.

It's a good soundalike,
I'll give you that.

But it's not me.

Voice comparison says it is.

Well, Mr. Schulte, I'd take the word
of the voice comparison over you.

Someone at Athis tell you to kill
Bethany Morris,

or did you just make that call
on the fly?

Was I paid to dig up some dirt
on the reporter?

Maybe scare her a little?
Sure, I'll cop to that.

But I didn't kill anybody.

Are you...? I mean,
how big of a moron are you?

A woman turns up dead after you
leave her a series of death threats.

Do you think that a jury is just
going to ignore that?

What if I had something that could
help you find who did this?

We're listening.

The other day,
I followed Morris to Maui.

She spent a couple of hours there,
and then flew back.

What was she doing there?

I don't know.

But she went to a small place
up around Kapalua.

Didn't see who she met,

but the person's mail was addressed
to a Jane Woodley.

Couldn't find anything on her.

It's not quite enough for a "get outta
jail free" card, but...

I'm getting to it.

That night I flew back,

went to Morris' place in Chinatown
and sat on her.

- All right, when was that?
- Last night, night she was murdered.

I saw a guy go in there
five minutes before she did.

I thought he lived in the building,
but then 15 minutes later,

I see the guy chugging down the fire
escape with something under his arm.

- Computer tower?
- Could've been.

- What did he look like?
SCHULTE: Don't know.

I tried taking a picture,
but it was dark.

Did manage to get a partial plate
before he took off.

What do you think?

Let's run plates on the car,
have Lori do it.

And how do you feel about
going to Maui?

Let's do it.

McGARRETT: Good to see you
back on the island, Jenna.

Your e-mail said it was important.

What's up?

I have a favor to ask you.

It's really big.

Is this about your fiancé?

Ever since I heard that Josh might
be alive in Southeast Asia,

I've been pounding the pavement
back in D.C.

After three months of analyzing
classified intel and trading favors,

I found him.

Josh is alive.

Are you kidding me?
That's great news, Jenna.

That's incredible.
Do you know where he is?

North Korea.

A small rebel faction is holding
Josh hostage near the border.

They got ahold of him after
his CIA op went bad.

The one I messed up.

Okay. Have you taken this
to the agency?

Yeah. They can't lift a finger.

They have to disavow any and all
knowledge of his existence.

SOP for this kind of job, behind
enemy lines, covert op.

What do these rebels want?

They are willing to exchange Josh
for 250,000, U.S. Currency.

That's where I come in.

You're... Hey, wait a minute.

You're seriously considering
going through with this?

If I don't, Josh is dead.

- Jenna...
- Do you understand?

I have no other options
but to pay them.

Okay, have you got that kind
of money?

I sold my parents' house in Virginia
to get it.

It's all I have.

Where's this deal going down?

Their turf.

Small town about 20 miles
south of Kaesong.

I can't go alone, Steve.

I need somebody there
to watch my back.

I need you.

McGARRETT:
Yes, sir.

No, absolutely. No, no, no.

Thank you, sir.

What's up? Any luck?

No. The Ranger unit that
supported me

in capturing Anton Hesse in North
Korea has been redeployed.

There's no way that they could escort
Jenna to the drop site.

[SIGHS]

Okay, listen.

I know you wanna put on the cape,
and you wanna go save the day,

but please keep in mind that
this is not a puddle jumper to Lanai.

Okay? This is North Korea.

I'm aware of that.
Thank you, Danny.

Okay.

- What do you wanna do?
- What am I gonna do?

I gotta help her.

I'd do the same for you,
anybody else here. You know?

What am I gonna do?

Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm just assuming whatever it is you're
about to do, you've done before, right?

Ah, it's classified. Of course.

Is that concern that I see?

Yeah, jerk. I'm concerned, big deal.

I'll be fine. All right?

It's North Korea.
What could go wrong?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Do me a favor, watch yourself?

- I'll think about you the whole time.
- Thanks.

- Hmm. What did I miss?
- Nothing.

He's gonna go help a friend, he'll be
gone a couple days. What's up?

You don't seem too happy about it.
Is it something dangerous?

No, guy's a Navy SEAL, right?

Everything's fine.
Nothing to worry about.

CHIN: Our suspect said your tenant,
Jane Woodley, had a visitor.

Was this the woman?

KIMO:
Yeah, that's her.

Jane wasn't
too happy about it, either.

Kimo, we need to find Jane. Did she
leave any forwarding information?

Maybe a credit card
to hold the place?

I copied down her driver's license
for the file.

Here it is.

That's Jenna Kaye.

And this woman was here for
how long?

Three months at least.

Could you excuse us one minute?

Okay, what the hell?

Wasn't Jenna in D.C.
These last three months?

Yeah, McGarrett said she was
trying to find her fiancé.

Apparently she's not trying very hard.

If she lied about that,
what else is she lying about?

Listen to me, Jenna.

We don't give these guys any money

till we have a positive ID on Josh,
okay?

Josh.

Just wait. Just wait.

[SPEAKS IN KOREAN]

No guns.

Bring money.

[SPEAKING IN KOREAN]

Bring guns, we shoot.

[SPEAKING IN KOREAN]

Listen to me.
Listen, that is not your fiancé.

That man is 5'9".

He's got tan skin. He's a healthy 185
pounds, okay? It's not Josh.

[SPEAKS IN KOREAN]

- Let me go, Steve.
- I'm not gonna let you.

We gotta move.
We gotta go the other way.

Right now.

[GUN COCKS]

I'm sorry.

[THUDS]

[GROANS]

[GRUNTS]

[SPEAKING IN KOREAN]

[IN ENGLISH] How long has she
been working for you?

That story she told me about
her fiancé, is it true?

Huh?

Just tried Steve's satellite phone 20
times in the last hour. No answer.

The area they're in is all deep forest.

It may have blocked the signal.

No, something is wrong.

Otherwise, why would Jenna
lie to us?

Question is, did Jenna have anything
to do with Bethany Morris' murder?

- Hey, any word from Steve?
- No, nothing.

Okay, look, there's gotta be a number
of logical explanations

as to why he's not answering.

No, there's nothing logical about this.

We just found out that someone we
worked with, someone that we trusted,

has been lying to us for months,

and now might have something to do
with our murder.

The only way we're gonna get answers
to any of this

is by finding Bethany Morris' killer.

Did you get anything on the suspect
Schulte saw leaving Bethany's place?

I got a hit off his partial plate, a rental
booked under the name Sung Paek.

The DL's a fake.
So I checked hotel registries

across the island and got a match.

Kailua Inn.

[POLICE SIRENS BLARING]

LORI:
Gun!

Took himself out rather than
get caught. Why?

Desperation? Fear?

Fear of what? Prison?

LORI: What might happen if he talked
to us?

Guys, I think I got Bethany Morris'
computer.

He was trying to hack into it.

- What is that thing?
- It's a hard drive recovery system.

It's used for
extracting encrypted data.

Hold on.

It's a virus. Paek must've initiated it
right before we breached.

LORI: Can you stop it?
KONO: No.

There might be a way to recover
what's left, though.

DANNY:
Now you think you salvaged anything?

KONO: Yeah, I managed to recover
a bunch of scattered data,

including a couple of pages from
Bethany Morris' latest article,

something called
"Lost Prisoner of Fate."

CHIN:
What's it about?

From what I could make out,

it's about something called
Operation Switchback.

That sounds like a military op.

Yeah, that's what I thought.
Look at this.

It's part of an e-mail about a
classified CIA file

that looks like
it's been 95% redacted.

CHIN:
Jenna was CIA?

Maybe that's why Bethany
went to see her.

Langley has no official record of an op
with that name.

- No, no. They're lying.
- Of course they're lying.

But the interesting thing was
when I asked them about it,

they transferred me to a number in
North Carolina, JSOC headquarters,

which means Switchback was a joint
CIA-Special Forces operation.

No way we're gonna get intel on that.

Wanna bet?

You do realize those are one-by-twos,
right, Wade?

I can measure, yeah.

Those are for supporting the windows,
not for cross bracing.

Are you implying I don't know how to
build a boar blind?

No, I'm not implying it. I'm saying it.

Hey, Joe, would it kill you to stay in
cell phone range?

Hey, why are you out here?

Listen, Joe,
I need to know everything

about a CIA-Special Forces joint
operation called Switchback.

Even if it rang a bell,
I couldn't disclose anything about it.

JOE:
What's so important about this op?

I have no idea, but a
woman was murdered over it.

Someone we used to work with
might be involved now. Jenna Kaye.

Why don't you ask her about it?

Yeah, I would, but I can't because
she's with Steve in North Korea.

What?

I think he's in trouble, Joe.

[McGARRETT GRUNTING]

[MEN SHOUTING IN KOREAN]

[McGARRETT GRUNTING]

I did what you asked.

Now I want what was promised.

I want to see Josh. Now.

Josh?

[CRYING]

No.

[GRUNTING]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Hey, hey. It's Jenna.
Get a trace up right now.

Hey, Jenna? It's Danny.
Where are you?

JENNA [OVER PHONE]:
Danny, I'm sorry. I screwed up.

- I'm so sorry.
DANNY: It's okay.

It's okay. Just tell me.
Where's Steve?

It's Wo Fat. It's Wo Fat, Danny.

He has him, and I led Steve
right to him.

Is he alive?

We're south of Kaesong,

- a town called...
DANNY: A town called what?

You broke up. Say again.

No, Jenna, I can't hear you.

Where's Steve?

[MEN SHOUTING IN KOREAN]

DANNY:
Jenna, say again. Jenna?

Jenna.

[STATIC]

DANNY:
Jenna!

[GROANING]

[CRYING]

[SCREAMING]

LORI:
The governor has to do something.

CHIN: I don't know. Steve went into
North Korea

on a completely unsanctioned,
personal mission.

- He thought he was helping a friend.
- Some friend.

Any word?

We're still waiting to hear
if the governor can help us.

- You get anywhere with the military?
- Not in terms of rescuing Steve.

But I got some intel about Operation
Switchback that could help us.

- What'd you find out?
JOE: It was a CIA op

into North Korea that went bad,

resulted in the capture of one
Officer Joshua Hirsch.

That was Kaye's fiancé.

Yeah, she took a leave from Five-0
thinking he could be alive.

Seems a reporter named
Bethany Morris

was asking all about Operation
Switchback,

- specifically about Officer Hirsch.
KONO: Why?

She claimed she had a source in
South Korea that said he was alive.

And since Jenna Kaye was listed
as the intel officer for the op...

Bethany Morris went to see her
to ask her about it.

So how does this help us?

Because the unredacted
Switchback file

details the location of a bunker just
south of Kaesong.

And it's suspected to be
a cache for Wo Fat.

Kaesong, isn't that where Kaye
said she was when they got cut off?

Yeah.

Um, well, we can forget it

because even if the governor
appealed to the state department

about launching
a diplomatic mission,

something like that could take weeks,
maybe even months to get approved.

We don't have that much time.

We have to act now,
or Steve's as good as dead.

That's right.

So? What do we do?

We're gonna bring Steve home.

Joe, what's with
the medical supplies?

JOE: Can't go on a humanitarian
mission to inoculate villagers

without the proper supplies.

Ah, humanitarian mission. Right.

It was either that, or say we were a
band going to entertain the troops.

So unless you play a mean bass...

So what happens when we
hit the ground in Seoul?

We're on our own.

I'm gonna need
your badges and IDs.

The minute this plane leaves
the ground, we're just civilians.

That means no military supplies, fire
support, or friendlies in the area.

If the mission is compromised,
we go on escape and evade.

And in the unlikely event
that we pull this off,

we could be charged with espionage,
face federal prosecution,

and prison time for
what we are about to do.

That is, of course, if
any of us make it back.

So if anyone wants to
back out, now is the time.

No shame in it.

Go with God and wish us luck.

All right, that settles it, then.

We come back with Steve,
or we don't come back.

All right, who's ready to
kick ass and take names?

Got room for a few members
of SEAL Team Nine on this little, uh,

what are you calling it?

Humanitarian mission.

Right, that's what I thought.
Load it up, ladies.

Uh, I thought we weren't gonna
have any military back-up.

Won't you get in serious
trouble for this?

Well, technically, Team Nine had
a few days' R and R coming,

so we decided to do some
sightseeing in Seoul.

Last I checked, we owed Commander
McGarrett and Five-0 a favor.

Something about a little
mid-air rescue, as I recall.

Welcome aboard.

[GRUNTING]

Why?

I had no choice.

We let you in.

We treated you as one of our own.
We trusted you.

I came down here.
I didn't ask one question.

Wo Fat told me Josh was alive.

You just took him for his word?

He showed me his ring.

He had pictures,

but more than anything,
I needed to believe it.

I would've done anything
to save him.

So you decided to trade him for me.

Yes.

So where is he, Kaye?

You have to understand.

This reporter came to me
looking into Josh's operation.

She said she had a source
that said that Josh was alive.

And I thought if anyone
could survive...

He's a lot like you.

A fighter, you know?

There was this one night

we were supposed to have dinner
in D.C.,

The Capital Grille.

And it was raining, and he was late,
and his car wouldn't start.

So he hops on his bike of all things.

Got in this horrible accident.
Got hit by a car.

Had to have these pins
put in his knee.

And when I reached the hospital,
I just lit into him.

He's always rushing around
like that for nothing.

That's when he pulled out the ring,
and he said, "It wasn't for nothing."

The reporter who came to you,

was her name Bethany Morris?

How did you know?

She's dead.

She had her neck snapped.
Did you know that?

No.

You don't you get it, do you, Kaye?

Wo Fat was her source.

You see?

He sent Morris straight to you

to give you hope that
Josh was still alive.

And my hope got her killed.

All right, me and Joe have been
studying this Switchback op.

Based on JSOC intel and the latest
thermal imaging

of the area
where the team was taken,

satellites have detected
a flurry of recent activity

around this old Korean War bunker.

Activity in an area where there
shouldn't be any activity.

And border crossings where there
shouldn't be border crossings.

All on foot, all in the last 24 hours.

You think it's Wo Fat's people?

Bet my life on it.

Thing is, there's no roads in.

Quickest way to this
compound's by helo.

Anyone know where we
can find one of those?

Yeah, along with a few
automatic weapons?

I know a guy.

What guy?

As I live and drink.

Funky Joe White?

It's good to see you, Frank.

FRANK:
Hey, how are you, man?

Funky Joe?

Yeah, played the sweetest guitar
this side of the Sea of Japan.

Frank, this is Danny Williams,
friend of mine.

- Pleasure.
- How you doing?

- Drink?
- No, thank you. I'm...

I'm more of a margarita guy myself.

Can't argue with you there.
Sit down.

I would ask how you're doing, Frank,

but I see you haven't
moved in 15 years.

Hell, what brings you to
this neck of the forest?

Business, unfortunately.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have
to collect on our debt.

Come on, 14 years?

Gotta be some kind of statute
of limitations on that.

No.

I'm gonna need Tangerine and
a couple of extra party favors.

What for?

I got a man in trouble,
two towns over.

"Two towns over," as in,
"over the border over"?

Yeah.

All right.

Tangerine it is.

This is Tangerine?

Don't knock it till you fly it.

We're going up in that thing?

Is anyone else terrified right now?

It can't be that bad, right?

[CLUCKS]

Okay, now I'm terrified.

You are kidding, right?

You have a chicken nesting
in your helicopter, sir.

Relax, kid.
She's got what it takes.

I flew her outta Saigon in '75.

Oh, you did?
Have you flown her since?

Wade, show Frank the sat-recon,
see if he knows the area.

- Roger that.
- Kono, let's set up for sat now.

[ENGINE GRINDS]

[ENGINE STARTS]

Fasten your diapers.

[JAMES GANG'S "FUNK #49"
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Let me ask you a question.

Does this guy ever fly
this thing sober, or no?

[GROANING]

Tell me about Shelburne.

I don't know what
the hell Shelburne is.

[SCREAMS]

Your father spent a great deal of time
investigating the meaning of Shelburne.

I can't imagine he didn't share
any of his findings with you.

You're wasting your time.

What about Joe White?

What did he tell you?

Joe White...

Joe White doesn't know anything
about Shelburne, okay?

You're lying.

[GRUNTING]

What's so important about
Shelburne anyway?

Why do you care?

You don't have any idea what
Shelburne is, do you?

[MAN SPEAKS IN KOREAN]

WO FAT:
Where did you find it?

[MEN SPEAKING IN KOREAN]

It wasn't for nothing.

[GASPS]

I'm gonna kill you!
You're a dead man!

You're a dead man!

We're getting on a plane in one hour,
and you're taking me to Shelburne.

[GROANS]

[MEN SHOUTING IN KOREAN]

[GRUNTING]

[GROANING]

Get him up. We move now.

GUTCHES:
All right, listen up.

This compound is basically a bunker
surrounded by tunnels.

Frank's gonna insert us
six clicks to the south.

We can patrol in on foot from there.

Frank'll circle the LZ
with Agent Weston

and provide cover fire
for the extraction.

GUTCHES: Make contact with
any opposition, eliminate the threat.

Any questions?

- Clear.
MAN: Clear.

Clear.

It's Jenna.

Still warm.

They couldn't have left that long ago.

Come on.

We gotta find Steve.

Blackbird, I have movement a mile
north of you, a convoy of trucks

is heading west towards the river.

Copy that. We'll relay to Red One.

We need to get eyes on that convoy.

FRANK:
One o'clock.

They're headed to Kaesong.

We gotta hold them.

Get the others,
and tell them to catch up.

LORI: Red One, come in.
We've got eyes on the convoy.

They're a mile northwest of your
position headed deeper in country.

Better slow them down.

We gotta move.

FRANK: Hey, there's a bridge up
that road about a mile.

How about we put that
RPG to good use there?

- You ever fired one?
- No.

It'll mess your hair up,
but just like any old gun.

Just point and shoot.

Turn around.

We'll go back the way we came.

[GRUNTING]

Move in! Move in!

Hey, it's Steve!

I got Steve! He's alive!

Danny.

Where's Wo Fat?

Just shut up, would you?

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Let's go.

Hey, hate to break up this
little family reunion.

We gotta go now! Come on!

Go, go, go!

No, don't. You can thank me
when we get back to O'ahu.

You can thank me by being
the best man at my wedding.

I'm getting married.

[ALL CHEERING]

No, don't do it. It's a terrible idea.

Thank you. I appreciate the support.

Seriously. Don't get married.
Just find a woman you really hate

ALL [IN UNISON]:
And buy her a house.

[ALL LAUGHING]

DANNY: That's right.
MAN: All right.

Nice. Nice.

I got you.
