Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 21 - Pa Make Loa - full transcript
A veteran who collapses fatally while attempting to visit his son despite restraining order is diagnosed with bubonic plague, even worse, a war lab variation which spreads much faster, which seems to be tested on unsuspecting social outcasts. Steve remaining traceless on his Sheldrake expedition to Japan, Danny takes charge. As the case links to the Rumanian gang lord Dracul Comescu, Callen's kin's nemesis, Five-O teams up with his NCIS LA team. Although they get the better of the Balkanic fiends, the hemorrhagic killer virus leaves the island to LAX and the bacteriology mastermind remains at large.
Vanessa, let me in!
Mommy? I'm scared.
- Shh!
- Open the door.
Kaitlyn, I know you are.
You just have to be
real quiet now.
Vanessa! Let me in!
911. What is your emergency?
Hello? Yes, I need you to send
someone here right away.
What's the emergency, ma'am?
My ex-husband-- he's trying
to break into the house.
Vanessa, open the door!
I think he's been drinking.
Please, my children are here.
Does he have any weapons?
He owns several guns.
Can you please hurry?
HPD! Raise your hands
and get down here!
Sir, come out
where we can see you!
Hands where I can see them!
Do it now!
Help me. Please.

Danny?
Hey.
Thanks for coming.
How'd you get in?
I had a-a key
from when I was crashing here.
You know you could look
at that stuff all night
and not be any closer
to figuring it out.
Well, I think I may have
figured out where he went.
Never seen this.
"Shelburne."
That is definitely not
in his handwriting.
No, it's his father's.
All right, so what?
You're going off
to Japan, too?
No, I am not going off
to Japan, okay?
I'm gonna stay here and I'm
gonna do my job, all right?
Because leaving and not telling
anybody where I'm going
is not my style.
Yeah, I know.
I mean, this guy--
h-he leaves me a note.
He says he's going
up to Shelburne
and disappears for a week,
and he doesn't call.
He doesn't say,
"I am alive."
He doesn't say,
"Everything's okay."
Well, Steve believes
Shelburne is the answer
to a lot of questions, including
why his father was murdered.
Yeah, but his father's dead,
and-and finding Shelburne
is not gonna change that.
I promise you that.
Good evening, Governor.
Okay.
I'm on my way.
Hey, guys.
I thought this was a domestic.
What the hell happened?
Aside from waking up
a foot shorter,
my worst nightmare.
Estranged husband tries
to break down the door.
Drops dead right
after HPD arrives
from hemorrhagic smallpox.
Apparently, that's a rare strain
that's almost always fatal.
Wait a minute. Smallpox.
Hasn't that been eradicated?
See, you can't believe
everything that you read
on the Internet.
Okay, so how did he get it?
We don't know.
CDC's trying
to figure it out.
In the meantime,
the governor wants us to run
a parallel investigation
quietly.
Understood.
Right.
Wow, Max, uh...
you get that at the mall?
It's a nice look for you.
Thank you.
However, it is very itchy.
Were you able to examine
the victim?
Briefly before the CDC removed
and incinerated him.
How are we supposed to do an
investigation without a body?
Not to worry.
I was able to obtain blood
and tissue samples, plus...
I have pictures.
The victim's name
is Bryan Palmer, 36 years old.
He was honorably discharged
from the Army ten months ago
after serving a couple tours
in Afghanistan,
and he's be collecting
disability ever since.
If he was military,
he was probably vaccinated
for smallpox recently,
so how'd he end up like this?
The vaccination
could have worn off.
It's typically effective
for only three to five years.
Stop. I have a question.
How does this guy catch an
extinct disease to begin with?
The only known stores
of smallpox in the world
are housed in two facilities:
one is the CDC
in the United States,
and the other is in a lab called
VECTOR in Koltsovo, Russia.
But the CIA thinks there
are also hidden stores
in Russia, France,
North Korea, and Iraq.
Why, so a terrorist
can get his hands on it
and start an epidemic?
Okay, could he have been
exposed in Afghanistan?
No, too much time has passed.
Rash onset typically occurs
within two weeks of exposure.
Mr. Palmer has been stateside
for nearly a year.
The first thing
we need to find out
is when and where
he caught this thing.
I don't think he was exposed
in the traditional way.
What do you mean?
Well, smallpox is
generally transmitted
through face-to-face contact
with a sick person.
Transmission through an infected
object, such as clothing,
is also possible,
but less effective.
However, in Mr. Palmer's case...
May I?
Go for it.
Ah, yes. This appears to be
an injection site.
And that is how
I believe the victim
contracted the virus.
Whoa, are you saying
that smallpox was used
as a murder weapon?
Yes.
And depending on how long
he was walking in public
while contagious,
within a few weeks...
The entire island
could be infected.
The doctor
doesn't think we're infected,
but he wants to keep us
for observation,
just to be safe.
I can't believe
Bryan was so sick.
I should've helped him.
No, listen to me.
You 100% did the right thing.
Okay?
I mean, you probably saved
your life and your kids' life
by not opening that door.
Mrs. Palmer, we're hoping
you can help us
build a timeline of where
Bryan was the past few weeks.
Uh... I really can't.
Bryan moved out
a couple months ago.
We were having
some problems after he came back
from Afghanistan.
Okay, where was he living?
Breakers Motel.
He was doing really well.
I mean, up until recently,
I thought there was a chance
for us to work it out.
What changed your mind?
A few weeks ago,
he just dropped out.
Um, he skipped
family counseling.
He wouldn't return
phone calls.
I figured he'd gone back
to his dark place again.
What, uh, what does that mean?
What's his dark place?
He starts drinking,
holes himself up and doesn't
talk to anybody for days.
It's pretty awful.
Mrs. Palmer,
I need to draw some blood.
Can you put on
your mask, ma'am?
Your children, too.
Okay. Sure.
Okay, let's, uh...
let's hope that she's right
about the dark place.
Why's that?
It means he's locked up
in a hotel room.
He's not out infecting
the entire island.
Right.
All right, I'll call the CDC.
I guess we should check out
Palmer's room.
You want to go check out
a smallpox-infested room?
Yeah.
Yeah, that sounds, uh...
like a real hoot.
What are you doing about Grace?
Well, luckily, she's on
the mainland with Rachel
and Stan and the baby,
visiting the grandparents.
What about Malia?
I haven't said anything yet,
but I've already checked
outbound flights.
If this thing goes south,
I'm getting her off the island.
Doesn't exactly look like
a dark place of despair.
I don't see any alcohol.
The 12 Steps.
Looks like this guy really was
getting his act together.
Max said the smallpox could've
been used as a murder weapon?
Yeah, why?
Well, either this guy
killed himself
in a really horrible way,
or I found a bunch
of loaded guns.
So... it's not smallpox.
Then what the hell is it?
CDC says the vials you found
in Palmer's motel room
contain cyclotriptine.
It's an experimental
antidepressant
undergoing clinical trials
pending FDA approval.
Okay, so the injection mark
on Palmer's arm came
from the antidepressant.
That's the weird thing,
'cause Max ran a tox screen,
and there was no cyclotriptine
in his system.
He never took it.
Meaning Max's smallpox
injection theory still stands.
All right, hold on.
This... this guy Palmer,
he had the drug, right?
So he had to be part
of the clinical trial.
There's gotta be, hopefully,
a connection between the trial
and how he was exposed
to smallpox.
That's what I was thinking,
so I contacted
the pharmaceutical company,
Bio-Statim.
They are conducting trials
here on Oahu.
Unfortunately,
the trials are double-blind.
So they don't know
who the participants are.
Well, somebody has
to have the names.
Well, yeah, the local project
manager, Ken Tanner.
He was the one who recruited
the participants.
Okay, let's go talk to him.
Well, the thing is...
we have to find him first.
Because I contacted
the local Bio-Statim offices.
He never showed up
to work today.
All right, uh...
let's find a home address
on this guy.
Okay.
Hey. Crime lab.
Aloha, Charlie.
How about some good news?
I can accommodate that.
I pinged your
victim's cell phone.
And found it. Still active.
I can send you the coordinates.
Great work.
Thank you, Fong.
All right, you, uh,
you track down Palmer's cell.
We'll go make a house call
to this drug company guy.
Send me that address, please.
Ken Tanner?
Ken Tanner, open up!
Let me ask you a question.
What does that look
like to you?
Mosquito bite.
Mosquito bite. What do you know?
You're not a doctor.
No, but you're
a hypochondriac.
Oh, what is that?
I hear an engine running.
He's in there.
Get it open. Come on.
He's ice cold.
He's been dead
for a while.
All right.
I guess now we know why
he didn't show up for work.
Guilty conscience
over Palmer's death.
Hey.
We got blood.
Maybe this wasn't
a suicide after all.
♪ ♪
Hey, Charlie.
I found the victim's cell phone.
Among some other things.
Going to need you
to process them right away.
Okay, so Fong's
going through
the bag of hazardous
goodies now.
Did you find anything
at Tanner's place?
No. Whoever killed him
also took his computer
and everything related
to the cyclotriptine trials.
Who was that?
Uh, nothing.
I... someone I can
just talk to later.
That somebody have a name?
What? I can't have
a private life?
Ooh. Is it a boy?
Is he cute?
Okay, leave me alone.
I knew something was up.
You got that glow.
Okay, I do not glow.
Uh-huh.
Give it up. What's his name?
You'll find out
when the time is right.
All right, be like that.
But just remember who's going
to walk you down the aisle.
Okay, that's going to be
a very, very long ways away.
Not at this rate.
Okay, Ken Tanner did
not kill himself.
How do you know?
Max just did the autopsy.
His cause of death
was blunt force trauma
to the back of his skull.
Crime scene techs
pulled a print
off the keys we found
in the ignition.
We found the car,
and the guy's in the system.
His name is Dracul Comescu.
Who the hell is that?
He's not a vampire.
I thought the very same thing.
He is a Romanian national
who's on the NCIS watch list.
Very specifically, the
Office of Special Projects
in Los Angeles.
So, what's he doing here?
I don't know.
I'm going to find out.
Just give me a minute.
Yeah.
Special Agent Hanna?
Yeah. Who's this?
This is Detective Danny Williams
with the Governor's
Special Task Force in Hawaii.
I believe you know a friend
of mine-- a colleague--
Steve McGarrett.
Yeah, I know him.
What, is he too busy surfing
to call me himself?
No, he's...
sort of on leave right now.
Listen, I am calling
about a suspect of ours
that we are tracking.
Uh, I believe
he's on your watch list.
His name is Dracul Comescu.
Detective Williams,
this is Special Agent Callen.
Are you telling me
Comescu is in Hawaii?
We found his prints
at... at a murder scene.
Um, you...
you got history with this guy?
Yeah.
A very personal one.
Dracul's part of a Romanian
organized crime family,
and let's just say we ended
the family business
not too long ago.
Okay, well, it looks like,
uh, he's got a new hobby.
Uh, he may have gotten his hands
on the smallpox virus.
That's why the Hawaii
National Guard
is plussing up their WMD
civil support team.
The Air Force
is sending a bird tonight.
So, technically,
you guys could hitch a ride?
How do you feel
about pineapples?
We're on our way.
Charlie,
find anything useful?
Not useful so much
as intriguing.
Look at this.
Size medium.
That's Bryan Palmer's size.
I have three of those.
Okay.
Size double XL.
Four of those.
Huh. That's weird.
Those must belong
to somebody else.
Plus...
I have pants
that are varying in size.
28 waist on a few,
40 waist on some others.
Altogether,
I'd say we have
at least four
distinct sets of clothing.
We may have
other victims out there.
Is there any identification?
Not as such.
However...
I've got a few dozen
hair samples to run
against the
DNA database.
I'll let you know if I get a hit.
Perfect. Thanks.
Hey.
Danny Williams.
Welcome to Hawaii.
Callen.
Hanna.
What's up, buddy?
McGarrett trying to skip out
on the steak dinner
he owes me?
That would explain
a lot. Come on.
So, how bad is it?
The good news is,
no other cases of
smallpox have come up.
Bad news is CDC
has not had any luck
with their contact
trace on our victim.
The guy went missing
about a week ago.
We have no idea
where he was.
Which means we don't know
who else he infected.
That's exactly what
it means, yeah.
Now, we picked up
the latest chatter
on Dracul Comescu.
He's spent the past
three months in Siberia.
Let me guess:
he's buying smallpox.
Well, based on what
you've been dealing with here,
that would be the theory,
but Dracul is not an ideologue.
His main agenda
is making money, not terrorism.
Our guess is that
he found a buyer
looking for
a biological weapon.
Hold on. You're telling
me that this guy
is ready to risk a
worldwide epidemic
just to make
some cash?
Without even blinking.
What about you?
I hear you got a
personal beef with him.
Comescus tried
to kill my entire family.
Say again.
Blood feud.
Ah.
Well, that, uh... that happens.
That's a nice ride.
Thank you.
What's her name?
Her name is, uh... is Car.
Car?
Yeah.
I'm going to find you a name.
Shotgun.
Agent Callen, Hanna,
NCIS.
Chin Ho Kelly,
Kono Kalakaua, Hawaii Five-O.
Welcome.
Steve speaks
very highly of you.
Well, I'm sorry
he missed the party.
Yeah, all right,
enough with the pleasantries.
- Uh, Kono, what's good?
- So, one of our techs
was able to identify
four distinct DNA samples
from the bag we found.
The victim, Bryan Palmer,
being one of them.
The rest we were able
to pull from the database.
So, we have Paul Scully,
Terence Hill, Luis Salazar.
And we can't find
any of them.
I got to take this.
Sorry.
HPD search their homes,
and what do they find
in every medicine cabinet?
Experimental antidepressants.
That's right--
they were all on
the cyclotriptine
clinical trial.
But that's not the only thing
they had in common.
They were all either
single or divorced,
no family on the island,
and they were all
on disability,
so no jobs to go to.
Which makes them ideal victims.
They go missing,
no one's looking for them.
So you're saying this whole drug
trial thing was a sham or...?
Well, I contacted
the pharmaceutical company.
The trial's legit.
- Okay.
- Maybe the trial
is how he got to these guys.
What do you mean?
Ken Tanner.
He's got a list of people
willing to undergo
a drug experiment.
Uh, plus he got
all their vital information.
So Comescu bribed him
to get the names of people
that wouldn't be missed.
And he uses them
as guinea pigs.
They think they're
getting antidepressants,
but he's really shooting
them up with smallpox.
And I guarantee you that Comescu
did not plan
on having Bryan Palmer escape.
Right, he escapes, he exposes
the entire experiment.
He's got to clear
his tracks,
so he kills Tanner,
first things first.
Right, well, Scully, Hill, and
Salazar could still be alive.
Yes, and the only way
we're going to help them
is if we find out
where this experiment
is going down, so...
I can help with that.
I had Ken Tanner's
financials run.
This guy was in real trouble.
He was underwater on his
mortgage; he was maxed out
on all of his credit cards;
then two months ago,
he gets a wire transfer
in the amount of $500,000
from a company
called CF&Q Limited.
That's a Comescu
holdings corporation.
All right,
so Tanner keeps half
of the money, and then,
with the other half,
he ends up buying
medical supplies.
He gets, uh, hospital beds,
laboratory equipment
and a sophisticated
air filtration system.
And all of it was delivered
to a warehouse...
...on Sand Island.
You know what they used
to call Sand Island?
What's that?
Quarantine Island.
Sounds like a great place
to start an epidemic.
There's cameras
all over the place.
They probably
already know we're here.
Let's not make them wait, huh?
Cover! Cover!
That's Dracul!
He's in the car.
Let's go!
Move! Move!
Go, go, go, go!
Look, go around
and cut him off.
Get in front of him.
Trying to.
Hold it steady.
You shoot like Ray Charles.
Come on.
Watch out for the dumpster.
I see the dumpster. Thank you.
Might want to work
on your driving position.
Your wrist's
in the wrong place.
My wrists are wrong...?
What is it with Navy SEALs
and backseat driving?
Watch out for the car.
I see the car.
Might want to turn around.
You think so, Doctor?
I do think so.
I ask him to turn around,
he goes in reverse.
Chin, I got jammed up.
Do you see him?
No, we don't.
There he is,
headed for that bridge.
We can't let him
get on the mainland.
Danny, cut him off.
Cut him off.
Chin, we got him.
We're good.
Comescu in there?
No, it's just the driver.
Must have jumped out
at the warehouse.
What the hell is this?
Looks like a
quarantine station.
Really?
Should we call somebody or...?
Salazar, Hill,
and Scully.
He gave them smallpox, too.
Wasn't smallpox
that killed them;
Comescu executed them.
So?
Well, we did find
smallpox virus samples,
but not all of them.
Apparently several
vials are missing.
Well, there was nothing
in Comescu's vehicle.
He must have taken
the virus with him.
This is quite a
sophisticated setup.
Negative pressurization system,
top-of-the-line equipment.
All right,
there's no way
a Romanian thug did this
by himself.
I concur.
Someone with very specialized
scientific knowledge
is involved.
What about the videocameras?
Maybe we got a picture of him.
CDC found footage.
Evidently our
suspect used it
to document the progression
of the disease.
Okay, uh,
we'll have Kono
go over to CDC.
Maybe, uh, Frankenstein
got caught on tape.
Should I be wearing a mask?
Technically, yes.
I'm leaving, okay?
Okay, uh, Callen and Hanna
are looking
for potential smallpox buyers.
They're at TSA,
checking incoming flights.
Meantime, we're gonna go
to this hospital,
see if Comescu's driver
is feeling chatty.
He's not gonna
tell us anything.
No, he's not,
but we are gonna use a page
out of McGarrett's playbook.
And what do you
mean by that?
Take the playbook,
and you set it on fire.
All right.
Patient beta developed
flu-like symptoms 20 hours ago.
Temperature
at 38.5 degrees Celsius.
Eight hours later,
a rash emerged on the tongue
and in the mouth.
I expect the pustular
rash period to begin
within the next ten to 12 hours.
It's astonishing.
If I'm understanding
this correctly,
they have significantly reduced
the incubation
and prodrome periods.
Meaning what?
Well, with hemorrhagic smallpox,
the time between exposure
and death is typically
14 to 28 days.
This version of the virus
reduced that to three days.
So, what kind of impact
would that have on an outbreak?
Monumental.
The disease would spread faster
and more efficiently
than we could mobilize
the vaccine.
You know the man talking--
does he ever appear on camera?
Nah, we've gone
through everything.
He only narrates,
never shows up on screen.
Still, there's something
about him.
What's that?
Well, I feel like
I know that voice.
He sounds familiar to me,
but I can't place him.
Maybe it's not
the first video he's made.
Hey, buddy,
why don't you, uh, grab
a cup of coffee, huh?
All right, thanks.
This is Marku,
Comescu's driver.
You don't look so bad
after all that, huh?
Doc says you got a
couple of fractures,
minor concussion,
but you're gonna be
out of here in no time.
You know what we call
that here in Hawaii?
Pomaika'i.
Good luck.
Yeah, but you know
what they say about luck.
I'm not afraid of you.
Well, you shouldn't
be afraid of me.
'Cause I am a very nice guy.
But this...
This you should
be afraid of.
What is that?
I don't have any idea
what it is.
We found it
in that lab of yours.
We want to test it out now.
See, I like that.
Very scientific.
You're American police officers.
You can't do anything to me.
Well, I'm certainly
not gonna tell anybody.
Are you gonna tell anyone?
Not me.
All right, that's settled.
Where's Comescu?
Screw you.
Okay.
Marku, so hostile.
Hey, what...?
Wait, wait, wait.
Take it out.
Take it out!
I got it stopped.
I'm gonna take it out.
Just tell us where Comescu is.
I-I don't know where he is.
I swear.
All right, we're back
in the building.
How much of the virus
did he take with him?
Stop!
Nine vials, okay?
Take it out.
Okay, okay, who's
he selling it to?
A-All I know is the buy
is going down today.
2:00,
International Market Place.
But, uh, s-s-something is wrong.
What?
When Dracul got there
to pick up the product,
everyone was dead.
All the patients,
shot in the head.
And you expect
us to believe
that you didn't kill those men?
It wasn't us.
I swear to you!
I swear.
Wait!
The doctor...
the doctor was gone.
What doctor?
Give us a name.
I don't know.
I don't know. I swear!
Please, take it out!
It's coming; I can't.
Wait!
Relax, relax, buddy.
It is vitamin B-12.
It is supposed
to aid in healing.
You'll be fine.
Aloha.
The buyers are Chechen rebels
from the Ingushetia Regiment.
Our office is sending pictures.
They blew up a bus stop
in Moscow last year.
Good.
You know what would
make this perfect?
If there was more people here;
I mean, if we're gonna have
a biological disaster,
why don't we go big, you know?
Why do you dress like that?
You're in Hawaii.
It's my style.
It's not a style.
It's a bad habit.
How's it looking, G?
No sign of Dracul yet.
I should have been the one
questioning that driver.
Hey, even your partner
thought that was a bad
idea, Agent Callen.
We just got photos
of the Chechens.
We got Deni Islamov,
Sergei Aminev.
Kono,
what's the bird's-eye view?
Not yet.
Hold on.
Here we go.
The Chechens
are near Aina Alley,
northwest corner of the market.
Danny, you and Sam are closest.
They're coming toward you
right about now.
All right, there they are.
Let's go.
Hold on. There's Comescu.
He's over
by the jewelry vendors.
I got him.
He's not carrying
anything.
Where are
the smallpox vials?
The buy already happened.
If it did,
the smallpox is in that bag,
Well, then we got to
take them now; let's go.
Hey, how you doing, man?
Come on, Frankie.
Take a walk.
Oh, Frankie, baby,
you got to lay off
the mai-tais.
Don't move.
All right,
Chechens are in custody.
The cash is
still with them.
The buy hasn't happened yet;
I repeat:
The buy is still in play.
There.
That's Dracul's bodyguard.
Vials must be in the case.
They're getting spooked.
We got to move on this.
All right, we're moving in.
Dracul Comescu,
hold it right there.
Get down! Down! Down!
Chin?
Chin, what's going on?
Chin?
Comescu's running.
Get down now!
Kono, you got
eyes on them?
Stand by.
Yes. Bodyguard.
He's near the food vendors.
I don't see Comescu;
I think they split up.
There's Dracul.
Go.
Chin, behind you!
Freeze! Five-O!
I will kill her.
Let her go.
Drop your weapon now
or she dies.
Let her go!
All right.
I'm dropping my weapon,
all right?
I'm dropping my weapon.
Nice shot, cuz!
No sign of the briefcase.
Comescu must have it.
Move!
♪ ♪
Freeze!
It's over.
You set down the case.
Well, well, Agent Callen.
You come all this way
to see me?
I'm honored.
Don't flatter yourself.
I came for the weather.
You want to get off
this island alive,
set down the case
and you step away.

Hey, Kono, what's up?
You on your way here?
I just got off the phone
with Dr. Dusek from CDC.
The vials you recovered
from Comescu
did not contain smallpox.
Hold on.
What are you talking about?
They were saline.
The virus is still out there.
Comescu thought
that it was smallpox, okay?
He was ready
to break the thing open
in public
just to expose Callen.
Somebody had to switch
the vials.
I think I know who.
The doctor who was running
the experiment.
Don't move, okay?
Come on.
We got to go.
His name is
Dr. Jarrod Prodeman.
He's a formerly highly respected
epidemiologist.
I was able to match his voice
from the experiment video
with some old lectures
posted online.
Why formerly respected?
Well, evidently he was disgraced
after he faked some data
to obtain a research grant,
and he hasn't been able
to work since.
Great. So he decides
to start making
biological weapons. Perfect.
So Comescu gets the smallpox
in Russia,
gives it to Prodeman to modify,
but Prodeman double-crosses him
and keeps it for himself.
But why double-cross
the guys he's working for?
Maybe he found another buyer.
Hold on.
Hey, guys, don't come to HQ.
TSA has Prodeman
booked on a flight
departing for Los Angeles

We've grounded the flight

Uh, the passengers are

Is he a buddy of yours?
Look, I never met

He came up to me

How'd you get in?
I had a-a key
from when I was crashing here.
You know you could look

Well, I think I may have
figured out where he went.
Never seen this.
"Shelburne."
That is definitely not

No, it's his father's.
All right, so what?
You're going off

No, I am not going off

He says he's going

He doesn't say,

He doesn't say,

Good evening, Governor.
Okay.

Hey, guys.
I thought this was a domestic.
What the hell happened?
Aside from waking up

my worst nightmare.
Estranged husband tries
to break down the door.
Drops dead right
after HPD arrives
from hemorrhagic smallpox.
Apparently, that's a rare strain
that's almost always fatal.
Wait a minute. Smallpox.
Hasn't that been eradicated?
See, you can't believe
everything that you read
on the Internet.
Okay, so how did he get it?
We don't know.
CDC's trying
to figure it out.
In the meantime,
the governor wants us to run
a parallel investigation
quietly.
Understood.
Right.
Wow, Max, uh...
you get that at the mall?
It's a nice look for you.
Thank you.
However, it is very itchy.
Were you able to examine
the victim?
Briefly before the CDC removed
and incinerated him.
How are we supposed to do an
investigation without a body?
Not to worry.
I was able to obtain blood
and tissue samples, plus...
I have pictures.
The victim's name
is Bryan Palmer, 36 years old.
He was honorably discharged
from the Army ten months ago
after serving a couple tours
in Afghanistan,
and he's be collecting
disability ever since.
If he was military,
he was probably vaccinated
for smallpox recently,
so how'd he end up like this?
The vaccination
could have worn off.
It's typically effective
for only three to five years.
Stop. I have a question.
How does this guy catch an
extinct disease to begin with?
The only known stores
of smallpox in the world
are housed in two facilities:
one is the CDC
in the United States,
and the other is in a lab called
VECTOR in Koltsovo, Russia.
But the CIA thinks there
are also hidden stores
in Russia, France,
North Korea, and Iraq.
Why, so a terrorist
can get his hands on it
and start an epidemic?
Okay, could he have been
exposed in Afghanistan?
No, too much time has passed.
Rash onset typically occurs
within two weeks of exposure.
Mr. Palmer has been stateside
for nearly a year.
The first thing
we need to find out
is when and where
he caught this thing.
I don't think he was exposed
in the traditional way.
What do you mean?
Well, smallpox is
generally transmitted
through face-to-face contact
with a sick person.
Transmission through an infected
object, such as clothing,
is also possible,
but less effective.
However, in Mr. Palmer's case...
May I?
Go for it.
Ah, yes. This appears to be
an injection site.
And that is how
I believe the victim
contracted the virus.
Whoa, are you saying
that smallpox was used
as a murder weapon?
Yes.
And depending on how long
he was walking in public
while contagious,
within a few weeks...
The entire island
could be infected.
The doctor
doesn't think we're infected,
but he wants to keep us
for observation,
just to be safe.
I can't believe
Bryan was so sick.
I should've helped him.
No, listen to me.
You 100% did the right thing.
Okay?
I mean, you probably saved
your life and your kids' life
by not opening that door.
Mrs. Palmer, we're hoping
you can help us
build a timeline of where
Bryan was the past few weeks.
Uh... I really can't.
Bryan moved out
a couple months ago.
We were having
some problems after he came back
from Afghanistan.
Okay, where was he living?
Breakers Motel.
He was doing really well.
I mean, up until recently,
I thought there was a chance
for us to work it out.
What changed your mind?
A few weeks ago,
he just dropped out.
Um, he skipped
family counseling.
He wouldn't return
phone calls.
I figured he'd gone back
to his dark place again.
What, uh, what does that mean?
What's his dark place?
He starts drinking,
holes himself up and doesn't
talk to anybody for days.
It's pretty awful.
Mrs. Palmer,
I need to draw some blood.
Can you put on
your mask, ma'am?
Your children, too.
Okay. Sure.
Okay, let's, uh...
let's hope that she's right
about the dark place.
Why's that?
It means he's locked up
in a hotel room.
He's not out infecting
the entire island.
Right.
All right, I'll call the CDC.
I guess we should check out
Palmer's room.
You want to go check out
a smallpox-infested room?
Yeah.
Yeah, that sounds, uh...
like a real hoot.
What are you doing about Grace?
Well, luckily, she's on
the mainland with Rachel
and Stan and the baby,
visiting the grandparents.
What about Malia?
I haven't said anything yet,
but I've already checked
outbound flights.
If this thing goes south,
I'm getting her off the island.
Doesn't exactly look like
a dark place of despair.
I don't see any alcohol.
The 12 Steps.
Looks like this guy really was
getting his act together.
Max said the smallpox could've
been used as a murder weapon?
Yeah, why?
Well, either this guy
killed himself
in a really horrible way,
or I found a bunch
of loaded guns.
So... it's not smallpox.
Then what the hell is it?
CDC says the vials you found
in Palmer's motel room
contain cyclotriptine.
It's an experimental
antidepressant
undergoing clinical trials
pending FDA approval.
Okay, so the injection mark
on Palmer's arm came
from the antidepressant.
That's the weird thing,
'cause Max ran a tox screen,
and there was no cyclotriptine
in his system.
He never took it.
Meaning Max's smallpox
injection theory still stands.
All right, hold on.
This... this guy Palmer,
he had the drug, right?
So he had to be part
of the clinical trial.
There's gotta be, hopefully,
a connection between the trial
and how he was exposed
to smallpox.
That's what I was thinking,
so I contacted
the pharmaceutical company,
Bio-Statim.
They are conducting trials
here on Oahu.
Unfortunately,
the trials are double-blind.
So they don't know
who the participants are.
Well, somebody has
to have the names.
Well, yeah, the local project
manager, Ken Tanner.
He was the one who recruited
the participants.
Okay, let's go talk to him.
Well, the thing is...
we have to find him first.
Because I contacted
the local Bio-Statim offices.
He never showed up
to work today.
All right, uh...
let's find a home address
on this guy.
Okay.
Hey. Crime lab.
Aloha, Charlie.
How about some good news?
I can accommodate that.
I pinged your
victim's cell phone.
And found it. Still active.
I can send you the coordinates.
Great work.

No, but you're

He's ice cold.
He's been dead

No. Whoever killed him
also took his computer

All right, be like that.
But just remember who's going
to walk you down the aisle.
Okay, that's going to be
a very, very long ways away.
Not at this rate.
Okay, Ken Tanner did
not kill himself.
How do you know?
Max just did the autopsy.
His cause of death
was blunt force trauma
to the back of his skull.
Crime scene techs
pulled a print
off the keys we found
in the ignition.
We found the car,
and the guy's in the system.
His name is Dracul Comescu.
Who the hell is that?
He's not a vampire.
I thought the very same thing.
He is a Romanian national
who's on the NCIS watch list.
Very specifically, the
Office of Special Projects
in Los Angeles.
So, what's he doing here?
I don't know.
I'm going to find out.
Just give me a minute.
Yeah.
Special Agent Hanna?
Yeah. Who's this?
This is Detective Danny Williams
with the Governor's
Special Task Force in Hawaii.
I believe you know a friend
of mine-- a colleague--
Steve McGarrett.
Yeah, I know him.
What, is he too busy surfing
to call me himself?
No, he's...
sort of on leave right now.
Listen, I am calling
about a suspect of ours
that we are tracking.
Uh, I believe
he's on your watch list.
His name is Dracul Comescu.
Detective Williams,
this is Special Agent Callen.
Are you telling me
Comescu is in Hawaii?
We found his prints
at... at a murder scene.
Um, you...
you got history with this guy?
Yeah.
A very personal one.
Dracul's part of a Romanian
organized crime family,
and let's just say we ended
the family business
not too long ago.
Okay, well, it looks like,
uh, he's got a new hobby.
Uh, he may have gotten his hands
on the smallpox virus.
That's why the Hawaii
National Guard
is plussing up their WMD
civil support team.
The Air Force
is sending a bird tonight.
So, technically,
you guys could hitch a ride?
How do you feel
about pineapples?
We're on our way.
Charlie,
find anything useful?
Not useful so much
as intriguing.
Look at this.
Size medium.
That's Bryan Palmer's size.
I have three of those.
Okay.
Size double XL.
Four of those.
Huh. That's weird.
Those must belong
to somebody else.
Plus...
I have pants
that are varying in size.
28 waist on a few,
40 waist on some others.
Altogether,
I'd say we have
at least four
distinct sets of clothing.
We may have
other victims out there.
Is there any identification?
Not as such.
However...
I've got a few dozen
hair samples to run
against the
DNA database.
I'll let you know if I get a hit.
Perfect. Thanks.
Hey.
Danny Williams.
Welcome to Hawaii.
Callen.
Hanna.
What's up, buddy?
McGarrett trying to skip out
on the steak dinner
he owes me?
That would explain
a lot. Come on.
So, how bad is it?
The good news is,
no other cases of
smallpox have come up.
Bad news is CDC
has not had any luck
with their contact
trace on our victim.
The guy went missing
about a week ago.
We have no idea
where he was.
Which means we don't know
who else he infected.
That's exactly what
it means, yeah.
Now, we picked up
the latest chatter
on Dracul Comescu.
He's spent the past
three months in Siberia.
Let me guess:
he's buying smallpox.
Well, based on what
you've been dealing with here,
that would be the theory,
but Dracul is not an ideologue.
His main agenda
is making money, not terrorism.
Our guess is that
he found a buyer
looking for
a biological weapon.
Hold on. You're telling
me that this guy
is ready to risk a
worldwide epidemic
just to make
some cash?
Without even blinking.
What about you?
I hear you got a
personal beef with him.
Comescus tried
to kill my entire family.

Steve speaks
very highly of you.
Well, I'm sorry
he missed the party.
Yeah, all right,
enough with the pleasantries.
- Uh, Kono, what's good?
- So, one of our techs
was able to identify
four distinct DNA samples
from the bag we found.
The victim, Bryan Palmer,
being one of them.
The rest we were able
to pull from the database.
So, we have Paul Scully,
Terence Hill, Luis Salazar.
And we can't find
any of them.
I got to take this.
Sorry.
HPD search their homes,
and what do they find
in every medicine cabinet?
Experimental antidepressants.
That's right--
they were all on
the cyclotriptine
clinical trial.
But that's not the only thing
they had in common.
They were all either
single or divorced,
no family on the island,
and they were all
on disability,
so no jobs to go to.
Which makes them ideal victims.
They go missing,
no one's looking for them.
So you're saying this whole drug
trial thing was a sham or...?
Well, I contacted
the pharmaceutical company.
The trial's legit.
- Okay.
- Maybe the trial
is how he got to these guys.
What do you mean?
Ken Tanner.
He's got a list of people
willing to undergo
a drug experiment.
Uh, plus he got
all their vital information.
So Comescu bribed him
to get the names of people
that wouldn't be missed.
And he uses them
as guinea pigs.
They think they're
getting antidepressants,
but he's really shooting
them up with smallpox.
And I guarantee you that Comescu
did not plan
on having Bryan Palmer escape.
Right, he escapes, he exposes
the entire experiment.
He's got to clear
his tracks,
so he kills Tanner,
first things first.
Right, well, Scully, Hill, and
Salazar could still be alive.
Yes, and the only way
we're going to help them
is if we find out
where this experiment
is going down, so...
I can help with that.
I had Ken Tanner's
financials run.
This guy was in real trouble.
He was underwater on his
mortgage; he was maxed out
on all of his credit cards;
then two months ago,
he gets a wire transfer
in the amount of $500,000
from a company
called CF&Q Limited.
That's a Comescu
holdings corporation.
All right,
so Tanner keeps half
of the money, and then,
with the other half,
he ends up buying
medical supplies.
He gets, uh, hospital beds,
laboratory equipment
and a sophisticated
air filtration system.
And all of it was delivered
to a warehouse...
...on Sand Island.
You know what they used
to call Sand Island?
What's that?
Quarantine Island.
Sounds like a great place
to start an epidemic.
There's cameras
all over the place.
They probably
already know we're here.
Let's not make them wait, huh?
Cover! Cover!
That's Dracul!
He's in the car.
Let's go!
Move! Move!
Go, go, go, go!
Look, go around
and cut him off.
Get in front of him.
Trying to.
Hold it steady.
You shoot like Ray Charles.

I see the dumpster. Thank you.
Might want to work

Your wrist's

My wrists are wrong...?
What is it with Navy SEALs
and backseat driving?
Watch out for the car.
I see the car.
Might want to turn around.
You think so, Doctor?
I do think so.
I ask him to turn around,
he goes in reverse.
Chin, I got jammed up.
Do you see him?
No, we don't.
There he is,
headed for that bridge.
We can't let him
get on the mainland.
Danny, cut him off.
Cut him off.
Chin, we got him.
We're good.
Comescu in there?
No, it's just the driver.
Must have jumped out
at the warehouse.
What the hell is this?
Looks like a
quarantine station.
Really?
Should we call somebody or...?
Salazar, Hill,
and Scully.
He gave them smallpox, too.
Wasn't smallpox
that killed them;
Comescu executed them.
So?
Well, we did find
smallpox virus samples,
but not all of them.
Apparently several
vials are missing.
Well, there was nothing
in Comescu's vehicle.
He must have taken
the virus with him.
This is quite a
sophisticated setup.
Negative pressurization system,
top-of-the-line equipment.
All right,
there's no way
a Romanian thug did this
by himself.
I concur.
Someone with very specialized
scientific knowledge
is involved.
What about the videocameras?
Maybe we got a picture of him.
CDC found footage.
Evidently our
suspect used it
to document the progression
of the disease.
Okay, uh,
we'll have Kono
go over to CDC.
Maybe, uh, Frankenstein
got caught on tape.
Should I be wearing a mask?
Technically, yes.
I'm leaving, okay?
Okay, uh, Callen and Hanna
are looking
for potential smallpox buyers.
They're at TSA,
checking incoming flights.
Meantime, we're gonna go
to this hospital,
see if Comescu's driver
is feeling chatty.
He's not gonna
tell us anything.
No, he's not,
but we are gonna use a page
out of McGarrett's playbook.
And what do you
mean by that?
Take the playbook,
and you set it on fire.
All right.
Patient beta developed
flu-like symptoms 20 hours ago.
Temperature
at 38.5 degrees Celsius.
Eight hours later,
a rash emerged on the tongue
and in the mouth.
I expect the pustular
rash period to begin
within the next ten to 12 hours.
It's astonishing.
If I'm understanding
this correctly,
they have significantly reduced
the incubation
and prodrome periods.
Meaning what?
Well, with hemorrhagic smallpox,
the time between exposure
and death is typically
14 to 28 days.
This version of the virus
reduced that to three days.
So, what kind of impact
would that have on an outbreak?
Monumental.
The disease would spread faster
and more efficiently
than we could mobilize
the vaccine.
You know the man talking--
does he ever appear on camera?
Nah, we've gone
through everything.
He only narrates,
never shows up on screen.
Still, there's something
about him.
What's that?
Well, I feel like
I know that voice.
He sounds familiar to me,
but I can't place him.
Maybe it's not
the first video he's made.
Hey, buddy,
why don't you, uh, grab
a cup of coffee, huh?
All right, thanks.
This is Marku,
Comescu's driver.
You don't look so bad
after all that, huh?
Doc says you got a
couple of fractures,
minor concussion,
but you're gonna be
out of here in no time.
You know what we call
that here in Hawaii?
Pomaika'i.
Good luck.
Yeah, but you know
what they say about luck.
I'm not afraid of you.
Well, you shouldn't
be afraid of me.
'Cause I am a very nice guy.
But this...
This you should
be afraid of.
What is that?
I don't have any idea
what it is.
We found it
in that lab of yours.
We want to test it out now.
See, I like that.
Very scientific.
You're American police officers.
You can't do anything to me.
Well, I'm certainly
not gonna tell anybody.
Are you gonna tell anyone?
Not me.
All right, that's settled.
Where's Comescu?
Screw you.
Okay.
Marku, so hostile.
Hey, what...?
Wait, wait, wait.
Take it out.
Take it out!
I got it stopped.
I'm gonna take it out.
Just tell us where Comescu is.
I-I don't know where he is.
I swear.
All right, we're back
in the building.
How much of the virus
did he take with him?
Stop!
Nine vials, okay?
Take it out.
Okay, okay, who's
he selling it to?
A-All I know is the buy
is going down today.
2:00,
International Market Place.
But, uh, s-s-something is wrong.
What?
When Dracul got there
to pick up the product,
everyone was dead.
All the patients,
shot in the head.
And you expect
us to believe
that you didn't kill those men?
It wasn't us.
I swear to you!
I swear.
Wait!
The doctor...
the doctor was gone.
What doctor?
Give us a name.
I don't know.
I don't know. I swear!
Please, take it out!
It's coming; I can't.
Wait!
Relax, relax, buddy.
It is vitamin B-12.
It is supposed
to aid in healing.
You'll be fine.
Aloha.
The buyers are Chechen rebels
from the Ingushetia Regiment.
Our office is sending pictures.
They blew up a bus stop
in Moscow last year.
Good.
You know what would
make this perfect?
If there was more people here;
I mean, if we're gonna have
a biological disaster,
why don't we go big, you know?
Why do you dress like that?
You're in Hawaii.
It's my style.
It's not a style.
It's a bad habit.
How's it looking, G?
No sign of Dracul yet.
I should have been the one
questioning that driver.
Hey, even your partner
thought that was a bad
idea, Agent Callen.
We just got photos
of the Chechens.
We got Deni Islamov,
Sergei Aminev.
Kono,
what's the bird's-eye view?
Not yet.
Hold on.
Here we go.
The Chechens
are near Aina Alley,
northwest corner of the market.
Danny, you and Sam are closest.
They're coming toward you
right about now.
All right, there they are.
Let's go.
Hold on. There's Comescu.
He's over
by the jewelry vendors.
I got him.
He's not carrying
anything.
Where are
the smallpox vials?
The buy already happened.
If it did,
the smallpox is in that bag,
Well, then we got to
take them now; let's go.
Hey, how you doing, man?
Come on, Frankie.
Take a walk.
Oh, Frankie, baby,
you got to lay off
the mai-tais.
Don't move.
All right,
Chechens are in custody.
The cash is
still with them.
The buy hasn't happened yet;
I repeat:
The buy is still in play.
There.
That's Dracul's bodyguard.
Vials must be in the case.
They're getting spooked.
We got to move on this.
All right, we're moving in.
Dracul Comescu,
hold it right there.
Get down! Down! Down!
Chin?
Chin, what's going on?
Chin?
Comescu's running.
Get down now!
Kono, you got
eyes on them?
Stand by.
Yes. Bodyguard.
He's near the food vendors.
I don't see Comescu;
I think they split up.
There's Dracul.
Go.
Chin, behind you!
Freeze! Five-O!
I will kill her.
Let her go.
Drop your weapon now
or she dies.
Let her go!
All right.
I'm dropping my weapon,
all right?
I'm dropping my weapon.
Nice shot, cuz!
No sign of the briefcase.
Comescu must have it.
Move!
♪ ♪
Freeze!
It's over.
You set down the case.
Well, well, Agent Callen.
You come all this way
to see me?
I'm honored.
Don't flatter yourself.
I came for the weather.
You want to get off
this island alive,
set down the case
and you step away.
You... you destroyed my life!
Right back at you.
Hands where I can see them!
Sa mori tu!
You all right?
We just recovered every
missing vial of smallpox.
So, yeah, I'm good.
I wasn't talking about
the smallpox.
I know.

Can I have that hot sauce?
Here comes the seafood course.
And after that,
the second seafood course.
And save some room for dessert.
Please,
you got to stop.
Honestly, I'm going to burst.
Positive thinking, brah.
You can do it.
Thank you for the Shrimp
Truck swag, Kamekona.
Think you're gonna have
to give yours to Hetty.
That's looking a little small.
Brah, how much you lift?
Much as you need me to.
I'd still kick your ass though.
Of that I have
no doubt, Kamekona.
All right.
Well, I can see the attraction
of living here.
Yeah, it kind of grows on you.
That's the nicest thing Danny
ever said about this place.
I didn't mean it.
I got it.
Winifred.
What's Winifred?
That's your car's name.
You want to name
my car Winifred?
It's a good name.
- It's a terrible name.
- I like it.
It's classy.
Sounds like
somebody's grandmother.
I want to do something nice.
Something simple
like, um... Misty.
How about Misty?
That's a stripper name.
I'm okay with that.
It's Winifred.
Winnie for short.
You're welcome.
That's horrible.
Hey, Kono, what's up?
You on your way here?
I just got off the phone
with Dr. Dusek from CDC.
The vials you recovered
from Comescu
did not contain smallpox.
Hold on.
What are you talking about?
They were saline.
The virus is still out there.
Comescu thought
that it was smallpox, okay?
He was ready
to break the thing open
in public
just to expose Callen.
Somebody had to switch
the vials.
I think I know who.
The doctor who was running
the experiment.
Don't move, okay?
Come on.
We got to go.
His name is
Dr. Jarrod Prodeman.
He's a formerly highly respected
epidemiologist.
I was able to match his voice
from the experiment video
with some old lectures
posted online.
Why formerly respected?
Well, evidently he was disgraced
after he faked some data
to obtain a research grant,
and he hasn't been able
to work since.
Great. So he decides
to start making
biological weapons. Perfect.
So Comescu gets the smallpox
in Russia,
gives it to Prodeman to modify,
but Prodeman double-crosses him
and keeps it for himself.
But why double-cross
the guys he's working for?
Maybe he found another buyer.
Hold on.
Hey, guys, don't come to HQ.
TSA has Prodeman
booked on a flight
departing for Los Angeles
in 15 minutes.
Send a picture
of Prodeman to TSA,
tell them to ground that plane,
but do not to move on him
until we get there, okay?
We've grounded the flight
for maintenance.
Uh, the passengers are
waiting here at the gate.
Your guy checked in
several hours ago,
but we haven't been able
to locate him.
I don't see him.
We'll make him come to us.
Excuse me...
Marcy.
Uh, I need you to page
one of your passengers
and offer him
a first-class seat.
Could you do that, please?
Uh, sure.
Okay.
His name is Jarrod Prodeman.
Attention in the gate area,
will Passenger Jarrod Prodeman
please come to the desk
regarding a seat upgrade?
That's not Dr. Prodeman.
Hi.
I'm Jarrod Prodeman.
Hey.
I got your upgrade
over this way, buddy.
Come on.
You're not Prodeman.
Who are you?
Uh...
What, you got to think
of your answer?
No, I...
Benjamin Gallagher.
I-I knew this
was a bad idea.
No, no, no, Benji,
traveling under a false identity
is a fantastic idea.
Where's Prodeman?
I don't know.
You got his ticket!
Is he a buddy of yours?
Look, I never met
the guy before.
He came up to me
at the gate
and asked me to switch
flights with him.
Right, and I'm sure
you did it just out of
the kindness
of your heart.
Well, that
and he-he gave me $500.
He had some
sob story about
his girlfriend being
on an earlier flight.
She was scared
to fly without him.
He was traveling with a woman?
Yeah.
Uh, the game was on at the bar,
and I figured, you know,
do the guy a solid,
make a little money.
Is that so bad?
What flight was he on?
792.
Eric, I need Hetty to send
a team to LAX right now.
Hanalei Air Flight 792.
Passenger traveling under
the name of Benjamin Gallagher.
I'll call you back.
What's up?
We got a problem.
What's that?
Flight landed in Los Angeles
five minutes ago.
Okay, okay.
So our suspect
is on the mainland
with nine vials of smallpox.
