Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 20 - Ha'alele - full transcript
Max reveals shocking information about his childhood to help the team track a serial killer who may have ties to Max's past.
Can I help you?
Oh, no. I'm fine.
It's just a flat tire.
I've got a tow truck coming.
Are you sure?
I can give you a hand
fixing that.
Oh, no, I'm fine.
It's okay.
I've got it under control.
Don't worry about it.
Look, the tow truck's
coming.
Glad you're here.
Please tell me you're with
the tow truck company.

Partner, I'm sorry
I couldn't be there
in person to tell you this,
but I need to find Joe White.
I think he lied to me about
the identity of Shelburne...
It was me.
...and I need to get the truth.
What, what happened?
Who was it?
Shelburne is the real reason
my father was murdered
and maybe even my mother.
And until I get some answers,
I can't do this job right.
Danno, I'm going to need you
to hold down the fort
for a while.
I'll be in touch.
Mahalo.
Mahalo.
Danny.
Is this no-knock policy
some sort of an island thing?
No, and I'm not here
as a friend.
I'm here as a taxpayer.
I got an emergency.
Well, then call 911.
A menu, I'm not hungry.
Thank you.
Other side, look.
That's the list
of my suspects.
What do you mean suspects?
What are you
talking about?
Somebody stole my shrimp truck.
Oh.
Okay, um, I'll play along.
Uh.
Why, uh, would somebody want
to steal your shrimp truck,
Kamekona?
That's your job!
I need you to figure it out.
Figure out what? I'm guessing
that there's not a major demand
for a big yellow truck
with your face on it.
Well, I was hoping for some
preferential Five-O treatment
due to the nature of
our relationship, but...
Preferential...
Okay, um...
pretty sure
you're aware of this,
but we are a major crimes
task force, okay?
We don't exactly do
missing shrimp trucks.
Major crime.
This is super-major crime!
All my secret recipes
is in there.
Excuse me-- secret?
What are you,
Orville Redenbacher?
It's no secret.
You got garlic, you got butter,
and you got shrimp. That's it.
Yo, it's all about
the proportions.
You know how much
those recipes are worth?
I have no idea.
Priceless, brah.
Okay. I will, uh...
I will do my best
to help you out, okay?
If you'll excuse me,
my phone's ringing.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Yeah, uh, I'm on my way.
Yo.
Hey, where's McGarrett?
He left a dear Danny" note
on my desk this morning.
He's off looking
for Shelburne again.
So, he just picked up and left?
Guy's on a mission.
What are you going to do?
All right.
Let's hope he gets some answers.
Yes.
What do we got?
Farm workers found her
this morning.
Got an ID?
No, nothing.
It's a good place
to dump a body.
Good morning, Max.
Cause of death?
Hey, Max?
Cause of death?
Time of death?
Anything, please?
Max, hello?
Cause of death
is manual asphyxiation
due to chest constriction.
That's it?
Max, how about
an approximate time of death?
Yes, um, I'm sorry.
Uh, time of death is somewhere
between 10:00 and midnight.
And she wasn't killed here.
You okay, buddy?
Yeah.
I just need to get her
back to the morgue.
Hey, what's up?
Yeah, we're on our way.
That was Kono.
She might have found
the victim's car.
All right, so I ran
the vehicle's registration.
I got a DMV photo.
Is that your victim?
Yes.
Angela O'Hara,
23. She lived with her mother
in Pearl City.
Car had a flat.
This is a hell of a place
to break down.
She didn't have a spare?
No, she called for a tow
around 8:30 last night.
But when
the truck arrived,
there was no driver present,
so they left.
All right, looks to me like
there's a crime opportunity.
Killer drives by, sees this lady.
She's broken down.
Cuz, you got something?
This flat was no accident.
Somebody put a razor blade
in her tire tread.
Her killer planned this.
Ms. O'Hara, I'm...
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Uh, there's just some questions
I have to ask you
that can help
with our investigation, okay?
Is that all right?
I knew something was wrong.
I got a call from... her work
saying that Angela
missed her shift.
Where did she work?
Mana Kai Catamaran.
They do those, uh,
those sightseeing boat tours
around the island.
Did she suffer?
Did my daughter suffer?
Oh, my God.
Um, could you,
uh... tell me.
Do what remember
what time she left for work?
She left earlier than usual.
Okay, I know this is, uh,
really difficult for you.
Um...
But if you could tell me,
uh, anything,
anything that you remember, uh,
anything she might
have mentioned,
it would be really helpful.
She got a...
she got a phone call
right before
she left for work.
And she came to tell me
that she was leaving...
And I didn't even...
I didn't look up
to say good-bye!
Okay.
Oh, um...
Does the company that she work
for, are they, uh...
are they up on the North Shore?
No, they were in Waikiki.
Okay, uh...
a long away from
where we found her car.
Is there anything
you might know why
she'd be up there
on the North Shore?
No, no, I don't know.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Hey, guys, I got something.
Looks like our vic
was being followed.
I found a GPS tracking device
under her car.
I believe this model
has a Web site
that allows users to
monitor the GPS remote.
Okay. Well, let's pull up
an IP address.
See who was monitoring
our victim.
So, we traced the GPS
we found
on Angela O'Hara's car
back to an IP address
registered to this guy.
Cal Litoa.
Okay, so this guy's tracking her
the whole time.
Mm-hmm, according to the GPS,
the last place she stopped
before her car broke down
was a bar on the North Shore.
Okay, I bet that is where he put
the razor blade in her tire.
Matches up with
Fong's estimates too.
Okay, tell me about this guy.
What do we know?
All right...
misdemeanor possession charge...
Last year it looks like
his ex-girlfriend took out
a restraining order against him
after he broke into her apartment
following an argument.
Good.
Uh, what is the connection
to our victim Angela O'Hara?
They both worked
the Mana Kai Catamaran.
Listen to me. List...
Don't move.
Sit down and don't move.
We need you to tell us why
you were tracking Angela O'Hara.
I can explain.
Good, good.
Start with why we found her body
in a pineapple field
up on the North Shore.
My God. What?
She's dead.
Cal, listen to me.
We know it was your
GPS, but somebody--
I'm not saying it was you--
I just want your help--
somebody put razor blades
in her tire.
Now, you see
where this is going,
don't you, Cal?
Look, I admit
I put the GPS there,
but I thought she
was cheating on me.
She was your girlfriend?
Yeah.
We had to keep it
on the down low,
'cause of work and her m-mother.
Her mother didn't like you?
I can't imagine why not.
Look, man,
you got to believe me.
Okay, relax.
Sit back and relax.
Tell me something: when's
the last time you spoke to her?
Last night.
She called, she said she...
was gonna be late to work.
She say why?
No.
Okay, so you followed her,
found out
she was cheating on you,
you did some bad things--
I understand.
No!
Sit down!
Don't stand up again, okay?
I was working.
You can ask my manager.
Okay. I'm gonna go talk
to your manager.
If I find out you're lying
to me, I'm gonna come back here,
I'm gonna put you
in a mayonnaise jar.
Okay?
Unbelievable.
Uh.
Manager says the kid didn't
get off the boat till 10:30.
You're good.
Well, that's not enough time
to make it to
the North Shore,
put razor blades in
Angela O'Hara's tires
and then wait for her to get a flat.
No, he's definitely
not our guy.
Yes, Kamekona.
Yo. Any updates
on my missing truck?
Missing truck?
Hey, uh, yeah,
Kono is all over it.
Turns out that she has a nose
for missing shrimp trucks.
90% clearance rate,
I believe.
Plus, we have the female
intuition thing going for us,
so I think we're in good shape.
Yes, she's making it
a priority.
Unbelievable. You know somebody
stole Kamekona's shrimp truck?
Did you just volunteer Kono?
I did.
She know about this?
No, she doesn't,
and I would really appreciate
some assistance here
seeing as this
is a local crime,
and I'm not too hip
to local crimes
like missing shrimp trucks.
Wait a minute here.
Oh, no, don't worry.
We got leads.
We're in good shape.
Really? Richie the shrimp guy?
Yeah.
The Duke brothers?
Oh, "a disgruntled customer
wearing a Metallica shirt."
Yeah. So you like
the disgruntled customer
for this one
or Richie the shrimp guy?
Who steals a shrimp truck?
I don't know.
I said the same thing.
But that is the mission,
should you choose to accept.
Please.
All right, I'll make
a couple of calls.
That's the least I can do.
Thank you. And I will loop Kono in.
We got to help
the big guy, you know?
Plus, I am becoming very
partial to garlic shrimp.
Oh-ho-ho. Just a matter of time.
Whoa, whoa, stop.
What does that mean?
Plate lunches
at local grinds.
You're practically
, bro.
Did I say that I was jumping aboard
to any local customs, Don Ho?
No, I didn't.
I just said that
I liked the garlic shrimp.
Which, in fact,
is basically scampi.
And that is not island food
at all; it's Italian.
Look who's calling.
Yes, Max?
I've completed
the autopsy
and found some
troubling anomalies.
What is this, a Boy Scout test?
I failed the knots.
Uh, no, Detective.
It is a Solomon bar rope cuff.
I took the liberty
to mock one up.
It's a knot used
to bind wrists,
and as you can see,
it has a very
distinctive pattern,
a pattern that
matches exactly
the one we found
on our victim's wrist...
and ankles.
But no ropes
were found
at the crime scene.
Well, but I did
recover some fiber,
which leads me to believe that
the killer removed the ropes
after he asphyxiated her.
Which brings me to
my second anomaly.
The victim's ribs
were cracked
on both sides of
the sternal bone.
Ultrasound revealed
that there was damage
to the subclavian artery,
which suggests
that the killer knelt
on the victim and
blocked her airways.
That, combined with
the constricted lung capacity,
caused her death.
Okay, so we have
a whack job who likes to tie up
women and smother them.
Well, this is no whack job,
Detective Williams.
This is a killer that left
a distinct signature
and then attempted
to hide or mitigate it.
It's the Trashman.
Very good, Lieutenant Kelly.
I'm sorry.
What's the Trashman?
The M.O. is the exact same
as a serial killer
dubbed the Trashman.
He was known for discarding
his victims in trash bags
along the side of the road.
That is correct.
The problem is,
the Trashman's in prison.
Technically, a man
named Richard Branch
was arrested
for one of the murders.
Okay, what do you mean,
technically?
You don't think he did it?
No.
I believe the real Trashman
is still out there.
Richard Branch was accused
of murdering six women.
The first one was found on the
H2 in 1985, and the last one
in 2009.
Shortly after that,
he was arrested,
convicted and
sentenced to life.
Each of his victims
were bound,
asphyxiated and dumped on the
side of the road in trash bags.
As you can see,
the injuries
are an exact match
to our current victim,
Angela O'Hara.
All right, well,
Branch is in prison,
so we must be looking
for a copycat killer.
No, no, no.
Then why remove the Solomon
bar cuff thingy, right?
I mean, if he wanted us
to think he was the Trashman,
he would've left the ropes on, no?
As I stated earlier,
Richard Branch is
not the Trashman,
and thus we
are not looking
for a copycat killer.
They arrested him.
They tried him and convicted
him for the crimes, Max.
Yeah, but they were
only able to tie him
to one of the Trashman murders.
Correct.
In order to ensure
a conviction,
the prosecuting
attorney's office tried him
only for the murder
of Diane Gallo,
the last victim attributed to
the Trashman.
Yeah, Branch was a drifter,
and he fit the profile.
Plus, they found his DNA
on one of the trash bags
containing her body.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
His file says they
got an eyewitness,
an eyewitness that
puts this guy with the
victim moments before
the crime takes place.
Eyewitness testimonials
are notoriously unreliable.
They got his DNA, Max,
on one of the victims.
There's an alternate
explanation for the presence
of Richard Branch's DNA
at the crime scene.
Time-out, time-out, time-out.
Why don't we just
pay him a visit?
I can arrange that.
You're in contact
with Richard Branch?
Yes. We share an interest
in acrostic puzzles.
Why doesn't that surprise me?
♪
Richard, this is
Detective Danny Williams
and Lieutenant Chin Ho Kelly
from the Five-O Task Force.
Good for them.
We found
another body.
Like I said,
good for you.
Max here believes
that the real Trashman
is still on the outside.
Well, he ain't in here.
That's for sure.
I am.
Doing life.
Next time I see
the outside world,
it'll be in a pine box.
Detective Williams
and Lieutenant Kelly
are familiar with your case.
Yeah, so were
the cops who pinned
all these murders on me
without a speck of evidence.
No, not without
a speck of evidence.
Your DNA was
on one of the victims.
I have...
been over this a million times.
He killed again.
If we can prove that
this is the Trashman,
they might reopen your case.
Eh...
Richard...
this could help you.
Okay, wh...
what do you want to know?
So, how did your DNA
end up on the body
of Diane Gallo?
I was out looking
for returnables
when I found the bag.
Thought I'd hit the jackpot...
till I opened up the bag
and reached in.
And you touched
the body, huh?
I'll never forget the look
on that poor woman's face.
What that guy did to her.
Okay, what'd you do after that?
This guy...
drives by and sees me there
with... this woman's body
spilling out of the bag.
I saw that look in his face.
I knew.
So you ran?
It doesn't take a genius
to pencil out
how this was gonna end.
I had a record.
I knew the police
were looking for this guy,
and there I'm standing
over one of the victims?
Well, what about the eyewitness
who saw you with the victim
before the murder?
How the hell should I know?!
I-I fit the description:
middle-aged white guy!
Truth...
is, I never met that woman.
But those cops, now, they had a
different version
of events, and they kept me
in that room all day
and all night until
I signed that confession.
Mr. Branch was under
the influence of narcotics.
And don't forget
the vodka, Max.
That...
and this crappy attorney
the court appointed me,
and...
well, let's just say...
they had their guy.
You ready to go back?
We're done.
Thanks for the puzzles.
♪
You heard from McGarrett?
Called him a dozen times,
left him a dozen messages.
Hey! What is this?
What do you mean,
what's this?
Adapting, overcoming,
preserving my retail space.
You got a break in
my case, or what?
Oh, yeah, uh, Kono's, uh,
running down some leads.
But in the meantime, could we
have some garlic shrimp, please?
Reduced menu today.
Barbecue shrimp only.
Okay, we'll take three of those.
Not for me; I'm allergic.
Two of those.
Branch was railroaded.
I really think you guys should
reopen the Trashman killings.
Hold, first of all, why is this
so important to you, huh?
Not only is an
innocent man in jail,
understanding the original
murders will help us catch
Angela O'Hara's killer.
But the murders
stopped after Branch
was arrested; how
do you explain that?
The real killer used
Branch's arrest
as an opportunity to take
a break and cover his tracks.
So then why start
killing again now?
Serial killers have
poor impulse control.
He couldn't help himself.
Okay, so what you're saying is,
this guy comes
out of retirement,
kills Angela O'Hara,
and then he changes his M.O.
to throw us off?
Yes!
Five-O once asked me
to reopen an investigation.
Now I'm asking you
to do the same.
Please.
All right.
I know one
of the original detectives
from the Trashman case.
Al Shepard.
He's retired now, but...
Okay, we will
go see him,
and we'll see what he thinks
about your theory, okay?
Thank you.
I was hoping this day
would never come.
What do you mean?
You got to understand
the pressure
we were under to make an arrest.
Mayor's office
was all over us,
the press had the island
in a panic, said we were
affecting tourism.
Okay, but you did
put Branch away
for the Trashman slayings.
We only had enough evidence
to convict him
of one of the murders.
Everyone believed
that he was the Trashman.
My partner believed he was.
But I had my doubts.
Okay, why weren't you able
to tie him to the other murders?
Branch was a drifter,
in and out of drug rehab.
The evidence against him
was all circumstantial.
Oh, so you just got him
to confess.
After spending 30 hours
in the box with us grilling him,
he would have copped
to the OJ murders.
So, you're saying
you got the wrong guy?
I'm saying, there's a lot
to the case
that didn't make sense.
Okay, well, we're here.
We'd like to know what it is
that doesn't make sense.
There was another murder
that wasn't attributed
to the Trashman,
but I think it was his work.
Woman named
Jennifer Ravich.
She predated the other murders
by about five years,
but just like your victim,
she wasn't found
in a bag or bound.
She have cracked ribs, too?
Yeah.
And there was evidence
that she'd been bound.
But she was older
than the other victims,
so we ruled it out because
it didn't fit the profile.
And you didn't push it?
No. Branch was
in a rehab facility
when Jennifer Ravich was killed.
Would have blown the whole case
wide open.
So the prosecuting
attorney's office just swept it
under the rug?
And I let 'em.
Okay, so,
I pulled Jennifer Ravich's case
file from the open unsolved.
Murdered in June of 1980.
Her husband was
a prime suspect--
there was a history of abuse--
but eventually, he was cleared.
Does it look like our guy?
The injuries are consistent
with our other victims.
However, there was
blunt force trauma postmortem.
Also, there was
no ropes, no bags,
but there were ligature marks.
All right, that does not
match our other victims.
Well, not necessarily.
If we are indeed looking
at the Trashman's first victim,
it's quite possible
he hadn't perfected
his method yet.
Okay, maybe he made a mistake,
and we can link him
to our new victim.
Well, perhaps Jennifer Ravich
was close to the killer.
Serial killers
often choose someone
who they're close to
as their first victim.
All right, well, we have
the Trashman's first victim,
Jennifer Ravich,
and the last one,
Angela O'Hara,
so what jumps out?
Okay, so, Angela was abducted
from the North Shore,
and Jennifer Ravich's body
was found in Kailua.
Body found
on the road?
No, her body was found
on the steps of St. Martin's.
St. Martin's?
That's where my mother
left me when I was a baby.
Your mother, Max?
My biological mother.
As you know,
Bergman is my adopted name.
Oh. That's good to know.
What does that have to do
with the case?
This is Michiyo Takeshita.
It's my biological mother,
the Trashman's second victim.
How long have you known
that your mother was one
of the Trashman's victims?
A while.
I've never talked
to anyone about it.
It is, as you can imagine,
quite difficult for me.
She was an
unwed mother
who didn't know what to do.
Did you ever get
to meet her?
No.
I never knew her.
She was already dead
when I discovered her name.
That's why you went
to go see Richard Branch.
Yes.
I wanted to meet the man
who killed my mother.
But then,
I heard his story, and..
and I looked into the case,
and I realized that
he couldn't
have done it.
Okay, so,
the real question here is,
what does your mother
have in common
with the other victims?
That I don't know.
I studied each case
over and over again,
but I failed
to come up
with a viable theory as to how
he chooses his victims.
There's got to be something
else. There has got to be
a pattern that
we are not seeing. What is it?
Okay, so, Jennifer Ravich
was killed and left
on the steps of St. Martin's,
and you were left there
for adoption.
Why St. Martin's? Do you know
why she left you there?
St. Martin's was
a well-known safe haven
for unwanted children.
Did Jennifer Ravich
have children?
No. No next of kin listed.
Yeah, Angela O'Hara didn't have
children, either.
Hold-hold on a minute.
May-may I see Jennifer Ravich's
autopsy report?
Autopsy shows evidence of
full-term delivery of a child.
What about Angela O'Hara's
autopsy?
- She also had pelvic separation.
- No, no, no.
I was at her place.
There was no signs of a kid.
No, there wouldn't be...
if she gave the child up.
I'll go check it out.
Got something?
Yeah.
Hey. Okay, so, I just spoke
to the victim's mother,
and I found out that Angela
had a child out of wedlock,
and she hid it from her mom.
Okay, uh, any connection
to St. Martin's?
Yeah, she was a
parishioner there.
Oh.
All right, okay.
Uh, so, let's
just assume
she abandons her kid
at the church,
uh, she's trying
to put it behind her.
Help me, please.
Wait a minute.
What about the other victims?
Yeah, I spoke to
their family members,
and I found out that at least
three of the victims
had children that they abandoned
at St. Martin's.
That's it.
That's got to be it.
That's his trigger.
He's targeting women
that abandoned their children
at St. Martin's.
Either this guy works there,
or has a connection.
Let's go.
St. Martin's has always been
a sanctuary for the children
of unwed mothers.
Okay, uh, how often
are babies left here?
More often than you think.
May I ask what this is about?
Yeah, absolutely.
Angela O'Hara.
We have reason to believe
that she left her baby here.
I'm-I'm... I'm sorry,
but we have a very strict
privacy policy.
We don't even keep records.
These women have
nowhere else to turn.
The-the women
who make the decision
to leave a child with us
are under enormous stress.
We understand, but this woman
was abducted and killed.
She...
I am sorry.
How-how can I help?
Uh, like I said,
we need you to tell us
if she left a baby here.
As I've-I've told you,
I-I don't know.
Okay, well, maybe
you can tell us
how it works then?
Someone rings the bell
at the side door, and
Frank Pollard, our caretaker,
usually answers.
He's on the property full-time.
How long has
Pollard worked here?
Since before I arrived here.
At least 30 years.
You... You don't think that...?
We need to see him right away.
Yes, of course.
Sam? Uh,
my assistant Sam
will take you to him.
Could you take these gentlemen
to find Frank, please?
Of course.
It's-it's about
those girls, isn't it?
Just take us to him.
I believe
that he's in his office.
Of course it's in the basement.
Yeah. We don't
go down here much.
Can't imagine
why not.
It's this way.
Really nice.
Hey, Frank?
Frank?
Frank?
What's up?
Do you see what I see?
Yes. Church people
are creepy.
Those blades.
They're just like the ones
I pulled out
of Angela
O'Hara's tires.
That's odd.
I-I thought he was down here.
Where else would
this guy be?
Hey, Frank?!
Hey, hands up.
Five-O. Hands up.
Step away from the truck and put
your hands behind your back now.
Now. Hands behind
your back.
What's this about?
Hands behind
your back!
You're under arrest
for the murder of Angela O'Hara.
They got him.
Max?
Did they find anything to
tie him to the murders?
Yeah, the razor blades in
his office match the ones
we pulled out
of Angela O'Hara's tires.
Fong's processing
the truck, too.
Max, are you okay?
Yeah. I'm... I'm fine.
Let's do this again.
Jennifer Ravich, Sarah Cho,
Michiyo Takeshita,
Marcia Long, Rachel Wilkinson,
Diane Gallo
and Angela O'Hara.
All victims
of the Trashman.
That your thing,
isn't it, Frank?
Killing women who leave
their children at the church.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
We got the ropes,
we got the razorblades, Frank.
Why would I kill those women?
I don't know. Maybe 'cause
you were the one
found the children.
I want you to
look at this.
This is Angela O'Hara.
Okay? You abducted and killed
this woman last night,
and you dumped her body
in a pineapple field.
That's impossible!
I already told you.
I was visiting my mother
in the hospital.
That's the wrong
answer, Frank.
We already found her blood
in your truck.
That's not my truck.
It's the church's.
His alibi checks out.
What the hell is going on?
He was at the hospital while
his mother was having dialysis
when Angela O'Hara was abducted.
Who else has access
to that truck?
Sam. He keeps the keys
in his office.
He's Deacon MacKenna's
assistant.
Guys, get over to
that church right away.
They already arrested
Frank Pollard.
I am aware of that.
Was it true
that he's the Trashman?
I'm not at liberty
to say.
Is there, is there
some kind of problem, though?
No.
Uh, not at all.
I, I just need to see
something for myself.
Oh.
Here it is.
Did Pollard have arthritis?
Yes, he did.
His hands had it pretty bad.
Is something wrong?
I don't think he did this.
The intricate knots
would be impossible
with arthritis.
Mr. Sherman?
Mr. Sherman?
Why did you come back?
It's you.
You're the Trashman.
Why did you kill
all those women?
You of all people
should know, Max.
They threw us away,
left us on some doorstep
like a piece of trash.
Jennifer Ravich--
your first victim...
she was your mother,
wasn't she?
She wasn't my mother.
I grew up without one.
Was passed along from
one horrible and abusive
foster home to another,
like they were doing me
a big favor.
You know how that feels,
Max, don't you?
You don't know
anything about me.
I know more than you think.
I was here
the day that you were
dropped off by your mother,
your real mother.
Such a pretty girl.
She was scared,
she had no other choice.
They all say that.
They want to get on
with their lives,
they want to pretend
it never happened,
throw us away so they can get on
with their lives.
You didn't know her!
Did you know she came back?
You're lying.
Oh, no, Max, she
came back years
after she abandoned you.
Wanted to know what happened
to you, where you were.
Said she had her life together.
She wanted
to find you, Max!
She did?
And that's how I found her.
She shouldn't
have come back...
just like you shouldn't
have come back.
That's Max's car.
What's he doing here?
She didn't
want you, Max.
Don't you understand that?
You're just like me.
No, I'm not.
I'm normal.
You are mentally ill.
You find Max?
No.
No sign of the deacon
or Sam either.
Basement.
Normal?
You cut up dead
bodies for a living.
You're just like me!
Who knows you're here?
Nobody.
Max, are you okay?
Max? Max?
Max.

They're coming.
You okay, Max?

Hey, Max?
Cause of death?
Time of death?

Max, hello?
Cause of death
is manual asphyxiation

That's it?
Max, how about
an approximate time of death?
Yes, um, I'm sorry.
Uh, time of death is somewhere
between 10:00 and midnight.

Yeah.
I just need to get her

Hey, what's up?
Yeah, we're on our way.
That was Kono.
She might have found
the victim's car.
All right, so I ran
the vehicle's registration.
I got a DMV photo.
Is that your victim?
Yes.
Angela O'Hara,
23. She lived with her mother
in Pearl City.
Car had a flat.
This is a hell of a place
to break down.
She didn't have a spare?
No, she called for a tow
around 8:30 last night.
But when
the truck arrived,
there was no driver present,
so they left.
All right, looks to me like
there's a crime opportunity.
Killer drives by, sees this lady.
She's broken down.
Cuz, you got something?
This flat was no accident.
Somebody put a razor blade
in her tire tread.
Her killer planned this.
Ms. O'Hara, I'm...
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Uh, there's just some questions
I have to ask you
that can help
with our investigation, okay?
Is that all right?
I knew something was wrong.
I got a call from... her work
saying that Angela
missed her shift.
Where did she work?
Mana Kai Catamaran.
They do those, uh,
those sightseeing boat tours
around the island.
Did she suffer?
Did my daughter suffer?
Oh, my God.
Um, could you,
uh... tell me.
Do what remember
what time she left for work?
She left earlier than usual.
Okay, I know this is, uh,
really difficult for you.
Um...
But if you could tell me,
uh, anything,
anything that you remember, uh,
anything she might
have mentioned,
it would be really helpful.
She got a...
she got a phone call
right before
she left for work.
And she came to tell me
that she was leaving...
And I didn't even...
I didn't look up
to say good-bye!
Okay.
Oh, um...
Does the company that she work
for, are they, uh...
are they up on the North Shore?
No, they were in Waikiki.
Okay, uh...
a long away from
where we found her car.
Is there anything
you might know why
she'd be up there
on the North Shore?
No, no, I don't know.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Hey, guys, I got something.
Looks like our vic
was being followed.
I found a GPS tracking device
under her car.
I believe this model
has a Web site
that allows users to
monitor the GPS remote.
Okay. Well, let's pull up
an IP address.
See who was monitoring
our victim.
So, we traced the GPS
we found
on Angela O'Hara's car
back to an IP address
registered to this guy.
Cal Litoa.
Okay, so this guy's tracking her
the whole time.
Mm-hmm, according to the GPS,
the last place she stopped
before her car broke down
was a bar on the North Shore.
Okay, I bet that is where he put
the razor blade in her tire.
Matches up with
Fong's estimates too.
Okay, tell me about this guy.
What do we know?
All right...
misdemeanor possession charge...
Last year it looks like
his ex-girlfriend took out
a restraining order against him
after he broke into her apartment
following an argument.
Good.
Uh, what is the connection
to our victim Angela O'Hara?
They both worked
the Mana Kai Catamaran.
Listen to me. List...
Don't move.
Sit down and don't move.
We need you to tell us why
you were tracking Angela O'Hara.
I can explain.
Good, good.
Start with why we found her body
in a pineapple field
up on the North Shore.
My God. What?
She's dead.
Cal, listen to me.
We know it was your
GPS, but somebody--
I'm not saying it was you--
I just want your help--
somebody put razor blades
in her tire.
Now, you see
where this is going,
don't you, Cal?
Look, I admit
I put the GPS there,
but I thought she
was cheating on me.
She was your girlfriend?
Yeah.
We had to keep it
on the down low,
'cause of work and her m-mother.
Her mother didn't like you?
I can't imagine why not.
Look, man,
you got to believe me.
Okay, relax.
Sit back and relax.
Tell me something: when's
the last time you spoke to her?
Last night.
She called, she said she...
was gonna be late to work.
She say why?
No.
Okay, so you followed her,
found out
she was cheating on you,
you did some bad things--
I understand.
No!
Sit down!
Don't stand up again, okay?
I was working.
You can ask my manager.
Okay. I'm gonna go talk
to your manager.
If I find out you're lying
to me, I'm gonna come back here,
I'm gonna put you
in a mayonnaise jar.
Okay?
Unbelievable.
Uh.
Manager says the kid didn't
get off the boat till 10:30.
You're good.
Well, that's not enough time
to make it to
the North Shore,
put razor blades in
Angela O'Hara's tires
and then wait for her to get a flat.
No, he's definitely
not our guy.
Yes, Kamekona.
Yo. Any updates
on my missing truck?
Missing truck?
Hey, uh, yeah,
Kono is all over it.
Turns out that she has a nose
for missing shrimp trucks.
90% clearance rate,
I believe.
Plus, we have the female
intuition thing going for us,
so I think we're in good shape.
Yes, she's making it
a priority.
Unbelievable. You know somebody
stole Kamekona's shrimp truck?
Did you just volunteer Kono?
I did.
She know about this?
No, she doesn't,
and I would really appreciate
some assistance here
seeing as this
is a local crime,
and I'm not too hip
to local crimes
like missing shrimp trucks.
Wait a minute here.
Oh, no, don't worry.
We got leads.
We're in good shape.
Really? Richie the shrimp guy?
Yeah.
The Duke brothers?
Oh, "a disgruntled customer
wearing a Metallica shirt."
Yeah. So you like
the disgruntled customer
for this one
or Richie the shrimp guy?
Who steals a shrimp truck?
I don't know.
I said the same thing.
But that is the mission,
should you choose to accept.
Please.
All right, I'll make
a couple of calls.
That's the least I can do.
Thank you. And I will loop Kono in.
We got to help
the big guy, you know?
Plus, I am becoming very
partial to garlic shrimp.
Oh-ho-ho. Just a matter of time.
Whoa, whoa, stop.
What does that mean?
Plate lunches
at local grinds.
You're practically
, bro.
Did I say that I was jumping aboard
to any local customs, Don Ho?
No, I didn't.
I just said that
I liked the garlic shrimp.
Which, in fact,
is basically scampi.
And that is not island food
at all; it's Italian.
Look who's calling.
Yes, Max?
I've completed
the autopsy
and found some
troubling anomalies.
What is this, a Boy Scout test?
I failed the knots.
Uh, no, Detective.
It is a Solomon bar rope cuff.
I took the liberty
to mock one up.
It's a knot used
to bind wrists,
and as you can see,
it has a very
distinctive pattern,
a pattern that
matches exactly
the one we found
on our victim's wrist...
and ankles.
But no ropes
were found
at the crime scene.
Well, but I did
recover some fiber,
which leads me to believe that
the killer removed the ropes
after he asphyxiated her.
Which brings me to
my second anomaly.
The victim's ribs
were cracked
on both sides of
the sternal bone.
Ultrasound revealed
that there was damage
to the subclavian artery,
which suggests
that the killer knelt
on the victim and
blocked her airways.
That, combined with
the constricted lung capacity,
caused her death.
Okay, so we have
a whack job who likes to tie up
women and smother them.
Well, this is no whack job,
Detective Williams.
This is a killer that left
a distinct signature
and then attempted
to hide or mitigate it.
It's the Trashman.
Very good, Lieutenant Kelly.
I'm sorry.
What's the Trashman?
The M.O. is the exact same
as a serial killer
dubbed the Trashman.
He was known for discarding
his victims in trash bags
along the side of the road.
That is correct.
The problem is,
the Trashman's in prison.
Technically, a man
named Richard Branch
was arrested
for one of the murders.
Okay, what do you mean,
technically?
You don't think he did it?
No.
I believe the real Trashman
is still out there.
Richard Branch was accused
of murdering six women.
The first one was found on the
H2 in 1985, and the last one
in 2009.
Shortly after that,
he was arrested,
convicted and
sentenced to life.
Each of his victims
were bound,
asphyxiated and dumped on the
side of the road in trash bags.
As you can see,
the injuries
are an exact match
to our current victim,
Angela O'Hara.
All right, well,
Branch is in prison,
so we must be looking
for a copycat killer.
No, no, no.
Then why remove the Solomon
bar cuff thingy, right?
I mean, if he wanted us
to think he was the Trashman,
he would've left the ropes on, no?
As I stated earlier,
Richard Branch is
not the Trashman,
and thus we
are not looking
for a copycat killer.
They arrested him.
They tried him and convicted
him for the crimes, Max.
Yeah, but they were
only able to tie him
to one of the Trashman murders.
Correct.
In order to ensure
a conviction,
the prosecuting
attorney's office tried him
only for the murder
of Diane Gallo,
the last victim attributed to
the Trashman.
Yeah, Branch was a drifter,
and he fit the profile.
Plus, they found his DNA
on one of the trash bags
containing her body.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
His file says they
got an eyewitness,
an eyewitness that
puts this guy with the
victim moments before
the crime takes place.
Eyewitness testimonials
are notoriously unreliable.
They got his DNA, Max,
on one of the victims.
There's an alternate
explanation for the presence
of Richard Branch's DNA
at the crime scene.
Time-out, time-out, time-out.
Why don't we just
pay him a visit?
I can arrange that.
You're in contact
with Richard Branch?
Yes. We share an interest
in acrostic puzzles.
Why doesn't that surprise me?
♪
Richard, this is
Detective Danny Williams
and Lieutenant Chin Ho Kelly
from the Five-O Task Force.
Good for them.
We found
another body.
Like I said,
good for you.
Max here believes
that the real Trashman
is still on the outside.
Well, he ain't in here.
That's for sure.
I am.
Doing life.
Next time I see
the outside world,
it'll be in a pine box.
Detective Williams
and Lieutenant Kelly
are familiar with your case.
Yeah, so were
the cops who pinned
all these murders on me
without a speck of evidence.
No, not without
a speck of evidence.
Your DNA was
on one of the victims.
I have...
been over this a million times.
He killed again.
If we can prove that
this is the Trashman,
they might reopen your case.
Eh...
Richard...
this could help you.
Okay, wh...
what do you want to know?
So, how did your DNA
end up on the body
of Diane Gallo?
I was out looking
for returnables
when I found the bag.
Thought I'd hit the jackpot...
till I opened up the bag
and reached in.
And you touched
the body, huh?
I'll never forget the look
on that poor woman's face.
What that guy did to her.
Okay, what'd you do after that?
This guy...
drives by and sees me there
with... this woman's body
spilling out of the bag.
I saw that look in his face.
I knew.
So you ran?
It doesn't take a genius
to pencil out
how this was gonna end.
I had a record.
I knew the police
were looking for this guy,
and there I'm standing
over one of the victims?
Well, what about the eyewitness
who saw you with the victim
before the murder?
How the hell should I know?!
I-I fit the description:
middle-aged white guy!
Truth...
is, I never met that woman.
But those cops, now, they had a
different version
of events, and they kept me
in that room all day
and all night until
I signed that confession.
Mr. Branch was under
the influence of narcotics.
And don't forget
the vodka, Max.
That...
and this crappy attorney
the court appointed me,
and...
well, let's just say...
they had their guy.
You ready to go back?
We're done.
Thanks for the puzzles.
♪
You heard from McGarrett?
Called him a dozen times,
left him a dozen messages.
Hey! What is this?
What do you mean,
what's this?
Adapting, overcoming,
preserving my retail space.
You got a break in
my case, or what?
Oh, yeah, uh, Kono's, uh,
running down some leads.
But in the meantime, could we
have some garlic shrimp, please?
Reduced menu today.
Barbecue shrimp only.
Okay, we'll take three of those.
Not for me; I'm allergic.
Two of those.
Branch was railroaded.
I really think you guys should
reopen the Trashman killings.
Hold, first of all, why is this
so important to you, huh?
Not only is an
innocent man in jail,
understanding the original
murders will help us catch
Angela O'Hara's killer.
But the murders
stopped after Branch
was arrested; how
do you explain that?
The real killer used
Branch's arrest
as an opportunity to take
a break and cover his tracks.
So then why start
killing again now?
Serial killers have
poor impulse control.
He couldn't help himself.
Okay, so what you're saying is,
this guy comes
out of retirement,
kills Angela O'Hara,
and then he changes his M.O.
to throw us off?
Yes!
Five-O once asked me
to reopen an investigation.
Now I'm asking you
to do the same.
Please.
All right.
I know one
of the original detectives
from the Trashman case.
Al Shepard.
He's retired now, but...
Okay, we will
go see him,
and we'll see what he thinks
about your theory, okay?
Thank you.
I was hoping this day
would never come.
What do you mean?
You got to understand
the pressure
we were under to make an arrest.
Mayor's office
was all over us,
the press had the island
in a panic, said we were
affecting tourism.
Okay, but you did
put Branch away
for the Trashman slayings.
We only had enough evidence
to convict him
of one of the murders.
Everyone believed
that he was the Trashman.
My partner believed he was.
But I had my doubts.
Okay, why weren't you able
to tie him to the other murders?
Branch was a drifter,
in and out of drug rehab.
The evidence against him
was all circumstantial.
Oh, so you just got him
to confess.
After spending 30 hours
in the box with us grilling him,
he would have copped
to the OJ murders.
So, you're saying
you got the wrong guy?
I'm saying, there's a lot
to the case
that didn't make sense.
Okay, well, we're here.
We'd like to know what it is
that doesn't make sense.
There was another murder
that wasn't attributed
to the Trashman,
but I think it was his work.
Woman named
Jennifer Ravich.
She predated the other murders
by about five years,
but just like your victim,
she wasn't found
in a bag or bound.
She have cracked ribs, too?
Yeah.
And there was evidence
that she'd been bound.
But she was older
than the other victims,
so we ruled it out because
it didn't fit the profile.
And you didn't push it?
No. Branch was
in a rehab facility
when Jennifer Ravich was killed.
Would have blown the whole case
wide open.
So the prosecuting
attorney's office just swept it
under the rug?
And I let 'em.
Okay, so,
I pulled Jennifer Ravich's case
file from the open unsolved.
Murdered in June of 1980.
Her husband was
a prime suspect--
there was a history of abuse--
but eventually, he was cleared.
Does it look like our guy?
The injuries are consistent
with our other victims.
However, there was
blunt force trauma postmortem.
Also, there was
no ropes, no bags,
but there were ligature marks.
All right, that does not
match our other victims.
Well, not necessarily.
If we are indeed looking
at the Trashman's first victim,
it's quite possible
he hadn't perfected
his method yet.
Okay, maybe he made a mistake,
and we can link him
to our new victim.
Well, perhaps Jennifer Ravich
was close to the killer.
Serial killers
often choose someone
who they're close to
as their first victim.
All right, well, we have
the Trashman's first victim,
Jennifer Ravich,
and the last one,
Angela O'Hara,
so what jumps out?
Okay, so, Angela was abducted
from the North Shore,
and Jennifer Ravich's body
was found in Kailua.
Body found
on the road?
No, her body was found
on the steps of St. Martin's.
St. Martin's?
That's where my mother
left me when I was a baby.
Your mother, Max?
My biological mother.
As you know,
Bergman is my adopted name.
Oh. That's good to know.
What does that have to do
with the case?
This is Michiyo Takeshita.
It's my biological mother,
the Trashman's second victim.
How long have you known
that your mother was one
of the Trashman's victims?
A while.
I've never talked
to anyone about it.
It is, as you can imagine,
quite difficult for me.
She was an
unwed mother
who didn't know what to do.
Did you ever get
to meet her?
No.
I never knew her.
She was already dead
when I discovered her name.
That's why you went
to go see Richard Branch.
Yes.
I wanted to meet the man
who killed my mother.
But then,
I heard his story, and..
and I looked into the case,
and I realized that
he couldn't
have done it.
Okay, so,
the real question here is,
what does your mother
have in common
with the other victims?
That I don't know.
I studied each case
over and over again,
but I failed
to come up
with a viable theory as to how
he chooses his victims.
There's got to be something
else. There has got to be
a pattern that
we are not seeing. What is it?
Okay, so, Jennifer Ravich
was killed and left
on the steps of St. Martin's,
and you were left there
for adoption.
Why St. Martin's? Do you know
why she left you there?
St. Martin's was
a well-known safe haven
for unwanted children.
Did Jennifer Ravich
have children?
No. No next of kin listed.
Yeah, Angela O'Hara didn't have
children, either.
Hold-hold on a minute.
May-may I see Jennifer Ravich's
autopsy report?
Autopsy shows evidence of
full-term delivery of a child.
What about Angela O'Hara's
autopsy?
- She also had pelvic separation.
- No, no, no.
I was at her place.
There was no signs of a kid.
No, there wouldn't be...
if she gave the child up.
I'll go check it out.
Got something?
Yeah.
Hey. Okay, so, I just spoke
to the victim's mother,
and I found out that Angela
had a child out of wedlock,
and she hid it from her mom.
Okay, uh, any connection
to St. Martin's?
Yeah, she was a
parishioner there.
Oh.
All right, okay.
Uh, so, let's
just assume
she abandons her kid
at the church,
uh, she's trying
to put it behind her.
Help me, please.
Wait a minute.
What about the other victims?
Yeah, I spoke to
their family members,
and I found out that at least
three of the victims
had children that they abandoned
at St. Martin's.
That's it.
That's got to be it.
That's his trigger.
He's targeting women
that abandoned their children
at St. Martin's.
Either this guy works there,
or has a connection.
Let's go.
St. Martin's has always been
a sanctuary for the children
of unwed mothers.
Okay, uh, how often
are babies left here?
More often than you think.
May I ask what this is about?
Yeah, absolutely.
Angela O'Hara.
We have reason to believe
that she left her baby here.
I'm-I'm... I'm sorry,
but we have a very strict
privacy policy.
We don't even keep records.
These women have
nowhere else to turn.
The-the women
who make the decision
to leave a child with us
are under enormous stress.
We understand, but this woman
was abducted and killed.
She...
I am sorry.
How-how can I help?
Uh, like I said,
we need you to tell us
if she left a baby here.
As I've-I've told you,
I-I don't know.
Okay, well, maybe
you can tell us
how it works then?
Someone rings the bell
at the side door, and
Frank Pollard, our caretaker,
usually answers.
He's on the property full-time.
How long has
Pollard worked here?
Since before I arrived here.
At least 30 years.
You... You don't think that...?
We need to see him right away.
Yes, of course.
Sam? Uh,
my assistant Sam
will take you to him.
Could you take these gentlemen
to find Frank, please?
Of course.
It's-it's about
those girls, isn't it?
Just take us to him.
I believe
that he's in his office.
Of course it's in the basement.
Yeah. We don't
go down here much.
Can't imagine
why not.
It's this way.
Really nice.
Hey, Frank?
Frank?
Frank?
What's up?
Do you see what I see?
Yes. Church people
are creepy.
Those blades.
They're just like the ones
I pulled out
of Angela
O'Hara's tires.
That's odd.
I-I thought he was down here.
Where else would
this guy be?
Hey, Frank?!
Hey, hands up.
Five-O. Hands up.
Step away from the truck and put
your hands behind your back now.
Now. Hands behind
your back.
What's this about?
Hands behind
your back!
You're under arrest
for the murder of Angela O'Hara.
They got him.
Max?
Did they find anything to
tie him to the murders?
Yeah, the razor blades in
his office match the ones
we pulled out
of Angela O'Hara's tires.
Fong's processing
the truck, too.
Max, are you okay?
Yeah. I'm... I'm fine.
Let's do this again.
Jennifer Ravich, Sarah Cho,
Michiyo Takeshita,
Marcia Long, Rachel Wilkinson,
Diane Gallo
and Angela O'Hara.
All victims
of the Trashman.
That your thing,
isn't it, Frank?
Killing women who leave
their children at the church.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
We got the ropes,
we got the razorblades, Frank.
Why would I kill those women?
I don't know. Maybe 'cause
you were the one
found the children.
I want you to
look at this.
This is Angela O'Hara.
Okay? You abducted and killed
this woman last night,
and you dumped her body
in a pineapple field.
That's impossible!
I already told you.
I was visiting my mother
in the hospital.
That's the wrong
answer, Frank.
We already found her blood
in your truck.
That's not my truck.
It's the church's.
His alibi checks out.
What the hell is going on?
He was at the hospital while
his mother was having dialysis
when Angela O'Hara was abducted.
Who else has access
to that truck?
Sam. He keeps the keys
in his office.
He's Deacon MacKenna's
assistant.
Guys, get over to
that church right away.
They already arrested
Frank Pollard.
I am aware of that.
Was it true
that he's the Trashman?
I'm not at liberty
to say.
Is there, is there
some kind of problem, though?
No.
Uh, not at all.
I, I just need to see
something for myself.
Oh.
Here it is.
Did Pollard have arthritis?
Yes, he did.
His hands had it pretty bad.
Is something wrong?
I don't think he did this.
The intricate knots
would be impossible
with arthritis.
Mr. Sherman?
Mr. Sherman?
Why did you come back?
It's you.
You're the Trashman.
Why did you kill
all those women?
You of all people
should know, Max.
They threw us away,
left us on some doorstep
like a piece of trash.
Jennifer Ravich--
your first victim...
she was your mother,
wasn't she?
She wasn't my mother.
I grew up without one.
Was passed along from
one horrible and abusive
foster home to another,
like they were doing me
a big favor.
You know how that feels,
Max, don't you?
You don't know
anything about me.
I know more than you think.
I was here
the day that you were
dropped off by your mother,
your real mother.
Such a pretty girl.
She was scared,
she had no other choice.
They all say that.
They want to get on
with their lives,
they want to pretend
it never happened,
throw us away so they can get on
with their lives.
You didn't know her!
Did you know she came back?
You're lying.
Oh, no, Max, she
came back years
after she abandoned you.
Wanted to know what happened
to you, where you were.
Said she had her life together.
She wanted
to find you, Max!
She did?
And that's how I found her.
She shouldn't
have come back...
just like you shouldn't
have come back.
That's Max's car.
What's he doing here?
She didn't
want you, Max.
Don't you understand that?
You're just like me.
No, I'm not.
I'm normal.
You are mentally ill.
You find Max?
No.
No sign of the deacon
or Sam either.
Basement.
Normal?
You cut up dead
bodies for a living.
You're just like me!
Who knows you're here?
Nobody.
Max, are you okay?
Max? Max?
Max.
Max.
They're coming.
You okay, Max?
♪
You didn't talk to him, did you?
No, he's, he's not
taking my calls.
You worried?
A bit,
like a cheerleader's
father on prom night.
Well, wherever
McGarrett's going,
obviously he's got
to do it himself.
Otherwise he would have
asked us for help.
Right?
He's probably just
trying to protect us,
make sure we don't
get hurt, you know.
Hope you guys
are hungry.
All right... this is
on the house, right?
I wish, brah,
but times are tight.
I got to save up
for a new truck.
You sure
about that?
♪
Yeah.
The truck is back.
You know what?
Lunch is
on the house.
All right,
case of the missing shrimp truck
is officially closed,
thank God.
No, no, no,
I want
to press charges.
Ha, good luck with that.
What, who took it?
City of Honolulu.
Why would they do that?
You forgot to pay
your vendor license, big guy.
Okay, now
cough it up.
You owe me 200 bucks for
towing and impound charges.
I'll put it on your tab,
sistah.
What tab?
Welcome home.
Mwah.
Hey, where's Max?
I thought he was
coming down.
