Oh, my God.

Ryan, what are you
doing here?

It-it's not what it looks like.



Really?

How am I misinterpreting this?

My best friend
isn't screwing

my wife on the boat
that I paid for

and named after her?

That's a relief.

Ryan, let's be reasonable.

Reasonable?

You came to me broke.

I gave you a job.

I put a roof
over your head.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Things just
got out of control.

We're adults.



Let's try and
make this work.

I really didn't mean
for this to happen.

So, it was an accident?

You just took
a wrong turn one day

and landed in bed with my wife?

Well, now she's gonna
watch you die.

(rapid beeping)
STEVE: Pull up.

Pull up, pull up.

We're losing altitude.

KAMEKONA:
Relax, brah. I got this.

You don't got this.

You're a backseat aviator.

You know that?
You tell your partner

how to drive?
He doesn't drive.

Now, pull up
or we're gonna crash.

Pull up.

I can't.
Pull up, pull up!

Pull up. Up,
up, up, up,

up, up.
(groans)

(beeping stops)

Sweet.

Passed my written tests

with flying colors.

With your help,
I'll be licensed in no time.

Yeah, that's provided you
don't crash the helicopter

during the flight exam tomorrow.

Okay?
Crash?

Look at me. I'm Top Gun, baby.

Don't look at me.

The ten-year

post-parole plan is working out.

I got my shave ice,

I got my shrimp,

and when I officially open
Kamekona's Island Tours,

that'll be my
entrepreneurial peak.

Like King Kamehameha
landing on Waikiki,

I'll rule Oahu.

(door opens)

CATHERINE:
Aw...

boys and their toys.

How cute.

This ain't no toy, sistah.
That's right.

This is the most
technologically advanced

flight simulator
on the market.

Huh. Well, it looks a whole
lot like a video game to me.

(rapid beeping)
Oh... up, up,

up, up, up, up, up,
up, up, up, up!

STEVE: What are you doing?
Pull up! Pull up!

Pull up, up, up, up,
(splash)

up, up...
CATHERINE: Oh!

Got two words for you:
game over.

If you crash a helicopter
full of paying customers,

it's not gonna be good
for your tour business.

You understand?

I was distracted, brah.

Sistah came in
dressed like that.

How am I supposed
to not look?

Aw. Kammy, if you hadn't crashed
in the middle of the ocean,

I might have taken you
out for a drink.

That's the beauty
of a flight simulator.

When you flame out,
just hit restart.

Take a seat.
We're going to the Big Island

for some mai tais.
(cell phone rings)

Ooh, sweet.

Yeah. McGarrett.

Okay, I'm on my way.

I got to go. See you later?

Hope so.

Don't worry. I'll bring
her back in one piece.

Repeat after me:
Altitude is my friend.

Altitude is my friend.
Roger that.

All right.

All right, let's do this.

Ready?
Yeah.

♪

STEVE:
Report said arson?

Yep. Third boat
burned this month.

All the same company.

Oahu Shark Tours.

They take tourists
out to dive

with the meat eaters.

There's been
a lot of opposition

about the Shark Tours
lately, right?

I mean, locals
have been protesting,

saying they create
all kinds of

environmental and safety issues.

Well, I'm opposed to anything
that has to do with sharks,

uh, due to self-preservation,
you see.

I remember your fear
of becoming "man sushi."

Uh, HPD got any leads
on the first two arsons?

Nothing solid.

The first two arsons happened
while the boats were docked.

This time,
it was torched at sea.

The fire hit the
gas tank, and then...

boom.
How many victims?

None.

None?

Well, that boat
didn't take itself off-shore.

It was found abandoned.

HPD suspects
that whoever was

piloting it must have
jumped overboard

before the explosion.

Coast Guard's out
searching now.

MAN: Not again.
You got to be kidding me.

Look, who's in charge here?

I got to talk to someone.

Here, send him over.

Sir, I'm Steve McGarrett.

This is Officer Kono Kalakaua.

Detective Danny Williams.
We're Five-O.

What can I do for you?

You're Craig Brant,
one of the owners, right?

Yeah. This is my boat.

This is the third
one torched.

Do you have any idea
who did this?

As a matter of fact, sir,

we're focused
on trying to locate

anybody who might have
been onboard.

Do you know who took
your boat out last night?

No one took my boat
out last night.

It was docked here all night.

You guys are just
as clueless as HPD.

Well, if it was docked,
then how come

we found it floating
three miles offshore

with no one aboard?

Jason.

Who's Jason?

My brother. He goes out

at the end of the day to get
the cage we use for the dive.

Well, there's no cage aboard,

so that means Jason
must not have picked it up.

He could still be out?

Look, you got to go find him.

♪

Know what I don't
understand?

What?

Why would a tourist want
to be put into a cage

and then dunked into
shark-infested waters?

It makes no sense.

'Cause they're on vacation.

You know, they
want some...

some excitement, some adventure.

What they need is some therapy.

(intermittent beeping)

(beeping quickens)

Hold on.

This is where Craig said
the cage was anchored.

I don't see a body.

I don't see a shark cage
floating around here.

Unless someone sank it.

Take a look.

Three o'clock.

Would they be
circling around

like that if that thing
was empty?

No.

(clanking)

Hate it when I'm right.

(cameras clicking)

Well, no signs
of petechial hemorrhaging,

which leads me
to believe your victim

was thrown into the cage
after being murdered.

What do you got for C.O.D.?

Well, based on
these lacerations,

I'm thinking

blunt force trauma.

However, I'm not
gonna be able to make

a confirmed determination
on either

of these theories

until my post is complete.

So, someone gives
this guy a beating,

throws him into
this cage,

then torches his boat.

You still think
it was the protestors?

If it was, they made
their point, right?

(camera clicking)

You know you're
an enabler, right?

Oh, this ought to be good.

Go on.
Okay.

Well, Kamekona told me
about your little flight school.

Okay, I'm helping a friend
pursue a dream.

More like delusion.

And if you're really
his friend, you should

help him open up a bowling alley
or something safe.

Not, uh, something
that defies the law of gravity.

Correct me if I'm wrong,
but weren't you

the guy who helped him buy

the helicopter
in the first place?

Yes. Under duress, one;
and two, I never thought

that any state
or any federal agency

would-would license
that man to fly it.

What did you think
he was gonna do

with a helicopter, Danny?
I don't know.

Park it next to his
shrimp truck.

Turn it into a barbecue.

What do I know?

What I do know
is that I do not...

do not feel comfortable

with that man piloting
three tons of steel

over the town
where my daughter lives.

Okay?
Fine, okay. So you're not

gonna participate
in the inaugural flight?

No, I am not going
to participate

in the inaugural flight,
because there will not be one.

Okay, there is no way
that that shrimp copter

is ever getting off the ground.

Why do you have to always,
always be so negative?

I'll make a deal with you.
How about that?

Okay, he gets his wings,

and I will fly with him, okay?

But you and I both know
that is never going to happen.

Oh, I see. 'Cause you know
what's gonna happen.

That's the
I-know-everything face.

It's good.

Hey, guys. So, CSU finished
processing the victim's boat,

and they found high-velocity
blood spatter on the railing.

Well, it can't

have been our vic.
He didn't have a gunshot wound.

Yeah, but check this out.

CSU also found a partially
burned bang stick in the rubble.

Ah, that's
good news.

What is a bang stick?

Oh, it's a specialized firearm
that can be used underwater.

Fires buckshot on contact.

Yeah, skin
divers use them

to scare away
or kill aggressive sharks.

Divers packing heat.

That's nice.

What, they just go up
to the shark and shoot 'em

between the eyes?
Doesn't seem very fair.

Wait a minute.
Now you're on the sharks' side?

Well, I'm not on anybody's side.

I'm just saying, I could see
how they'd get pissed off.

Well, I know a really great
environmental group

that protects sharks
if you're interested.

No, no.

But thank you.
Kono, did CSU

find any GSR on site?

No, but they did find
a discharged shell

in the bang stick. The fire had
melted it to the inside.

And since CSU didn't find
any buckshot on the boat,

I'm thinking our victim
Jason Brant used the bang stick

to defend himself
against his attacker.

And the perp took the full load.

The only problem is,
CSU ran the blood,

and there are no matches
in the system.

And there were no

gunshot victims admitted
to any area hospitals.

Okay, if we've got

a wounded perp, he's gonna have
to surface sooner than later.

FONG: Our techs found
fresh paint transfer

on the starboard hull
of your victim's boat.

Could belong to
our perp's boat.

That's what I'm thinking,
so I analyzed a sample

of the paint and matched
it to Altor Nautical.

It's used exclusively on their
Oceanus line of fishing vessels.

Arctic White. Please tell me
that's not a common color.

Only three registered
in this color on the island.

But one's been in California
for the last month,

and the other's in dry dock.

That leaves the Carlyle, which
is docked in Haleiwa Harbor.

That the same harbor where
our victim docked his boat.

Hold on a second.
You think

we had something to do
with Jason Brant's murder?

Come on, man. No way.
DANNY: No way?

All right, well,
shark-infested waters--

that's not necessarily good
for fishing, right?

Basically, your
competition.

I'll admit,
I wasn't sorry

about what was happening
to their boats.

Nobody likes
the Shark Tours here,

but we didn't kill anybody.

All right, well,
do me a favor

and explain what happened

to your boat
there, okay?

'Cause the same damage
and paint transfer

was on Jason's boat,

and it matched the paint
on your boat.

Look, we were trying
to be Good Samaritans.

Good Samaritans?
What do you mean?

About a week ago,
we pulled

in a haul of mahi-mahi
a few miles out.

Saw an aluminum skiff tied off
to the Shark Tour boat.

Some guy was beating on Jason
pretty good.

We went over to help,

and the dude bolted
in the skiff.

What happened after that?

MAN: We climbed on board
to see if Jason was okay.

Water was pretty choppy
that day.

Our boats knocked
a couple of times.

That's when the damage happened.

MAN 2:
You can ask around.

Everyone at the docks
heard about

the beat-down
the Kapu put on him.

Kapu?

Wait a minute.
You sure about that?

Yeah.

Word is they didn't like
the Shark Tours

so close to their shores.

All right, there's a lot of
Kapu members on the North Shore.

Jason give you a name?
No.

But everyone knows
those guys don't like

anyone messing with their break.

And if you do,
they can get pretty nasty.

STEVE: We need to talk
to Kawika.

(engine revving)

DANNY:
All I am saying is that

it is not beyond
the realm of possib...

In fact, forget that.

It is a very big possibility
that Kawika's surf gang...

Surf club.

Oh, excuse me, the surf club.

You're in a mood today,
aren't you?

No, I'm not in a mood.

My mood is fine.

All right, the point is,
it is very possible

that the Kapu is responsible
for Jason Brant's murder.

I don't buy it, okay?
Oh.

I don't buy it.
Okay.

At one time, yes,
the club was territorial.

There was a lot of outsiders

moving into the North Shore,
and-- right or wrong--

they used violence
to protect what was theirs.

Okay?
But-but now...

now, they are bastions
of philanthropy, right?

Giving of themselves
to worthy causes.

Huh? Live and let live?
Is that it?

I know these guys, Danny,
is what I'm saying.

I know these guys,
and they're not killers.

Okay, they're not killers.

Well, let-let's just take
a second and look at the facts.

Okay? Two witnesses say
that they saw a member

of the Kapu give Jason Brant
a beating.

Okay, and lo and behold,
Max said the cause of death

was blunt force trauma.

What does that mean?

It means he was beaten,
most likely repeatedly.

So, can we just say
that maybe it's a possibility

the Kapu has fell back
into their old ways?

Is that possible?
(siren blaring)

(horn honking)

They're headed
for Kawika's house.

(engine revving)

MAN:
Got another hot spot!

Over here!
(fire truck horn honks)

MAN: Give me another hose.
Got another hot spot over here.

Whoa.

Kawika.

What happened?

Someone torched the place.

Sure you didn't do something
to provoke this?

Bro, there's families here,
kids.

I understand that, but their
fathers are members of the Kapu.

What are you trying
to say, haole?

Kawika, listen,

we got a dead
Shark Tour operator,

and his boats torched
in the marina.

Bunch of witnesses

pointing their fingers
at you and your boys.

All I'm saying is,
this could be payback.

(horn honking)

STEVE:
Hey, oh, Chin, I need you

to do me a favor, all right?

I need you to pick up
the victim's brother.

His name is Craig Brant.

Thank you.
Run that in for me?

Yeah, just hold him
until we get there.

Look, I told you, my
boys had nothing to do

with the torching
of those shark boats.

And they sure as hell
didn't kill Jason Brant.

We got witnesses

that say members
of the Kapu beat him up.

I don't know anything
about that.

Kawika, we want to believe you.

All right? We do.

But your boys have been I.D.'d.

We got to follow through.

If that's the case,
then let me help you.

All right.

(garbled radio transmission)

Hey, who went
and gave Jason Brant lickings?

I'm going to ask one more time.

Who beat up Jason Brant?

It was me, Kawika.

Why?

Answer the man.

This board belongs
to my nephew Koa.

He was surfing Kammieland when
a tiger shark went after him.

Lucky thing, all he
got was the board.

Okay, I don't get it.

How was Jason Brant responsible
for this?

Before he and his brother
started these tours,

sharks never came close
to Kammieland.

So, you-you blame them
for the attack?

Brah, my family's been surfing
this break for over 60 years.

There's never been this many
sharks so close to the shore.

Those tours-- they teach sharks
not to be afraid of humans.

STEVE:
And those tours

are run by conservationists,

okay, who have every right
to be in the ocean,

as much as you, me,
anybody else.

We're not against
sharing the ocean,

but sharks that aren't afraid
of humans make it dangerous

for every surfer
and swimmer in the water.

Right, like your nephew.

So, what, he gets attacked,

you want revenge,
and you go after Jason.

Is that right?
I just wanted to send a message.

Tell them the truth, Levi.

I am telling the truth.
DANNY: Okay, good.

I'm gonna ask you one time.
Did you kill Jason,

burn his boat
and get rid of the evidence?

What?! No, no way.
All I did was scare the guy.

I wasn't even on
Oahu last night.

I was judging a surf contest
in Maui.

All right.

We'll look into it.

We're gonna hold you
on assault.

If your alibi checks out,
you'll walk.

Fair enough.

(handcuffs clicking)

(buzzer sounding, door opens)

Hey, what the hell's
going on, huh?

No one will tell me why I'm here.
Mr. Brant,

where were you two hours ago?

What difference does it make?

How does that help me
find my brother's killer?

Doesn't.
Excuse me?

A fire was
set to a house

on the North Shore two hours
ago. You know anything about it?

Look, all I know is, my
brother's dead, and you're doing

nothing about it.

DANNY: Well, it's an
ongoing investigation.

(phone chimes)
Maybe you'd like

to explain to me
how your fingerprints

ended up on this discarded
gas can

right by the crime scene.

Eye for an eye.

It's in the Bible.

So is, "Thou shalt not kill."
You skip that chapter or what?

Hey, my brother was murdered.

What, do you expect me
to go back to work?

No. We expect you
to mourn,

and then plan a funeral
for your brother.

Not go out and try
burying more people.

DANNY: Come on, man.
There were kids

near that house.
Something happens to them,

you're gonna spend the rest
of your life in prison.

Listen, you lost
family today.

We get that.

But torching a house
full of innocent people--

that's no way to get even.

There was a luau, all right?

They were all outside.

I made sure
no one was in the house.

That make it okay?

No.

I just... I had...
I had to do something.

Yeah, well, I got
something for you.

The Kapu didn't do it, okay?

They got alibis.
They all check out.

They may not like you.

They may not have liked
your brother.

But they didn't kill anybody.

Then who did?

(knocking on window)

Sorry, Lieutenant.
She said she knew you.

Leilani.

Hi.

Is this a bad time?

No, no. Come in.

Thanks, James.

Hi.

Hi.

Um, this is a
nice surprise.

Uh, can I get you some
coffee, a stale malasada?

I thought cops didn't
really eat donuts.

Well, actually,
that cliché is true.

Oh.

(laughs)

No, I just, um...
I-I stopped by to say hi.

Oh.

You never called.

You never gave me your number.

Well, you're a cop,

and it's 2013, and I can't
really be that hard to find.

You're right.

Uh, the truth is, after
what we went through,

I thought you'd never
want to see my face again.

You saved my life.

We survived
a prison riot together.

I was kind of looking forward

to seeing what you had in store
for a second date.

(laughing)

Leilani, there's nothing

I'd like more
than to take you out.

But you're married.

I was.

When you're ready.

(phone ringing)

(clears his throat)

This is Chin.

On my way.

CHIN:
You said on the phone

you got something?
Yeah, a little show-and-tell.

Kono and I looked
into the reports

of the previous
two shark boat arsons,

and check this out.
KONO: In both cases,

a time delay device was used
to trigger the fires.

What is that?

It's a pet food dispenser.

Very much like this one.

So, you set the
timer like this... (beeping)

and at the designated hour,

the dispenser drops
Garfield his dinner.

That's very exciting.

(chuckles)
FONG: But...

if you're an inventive criminal

like our arsonist,

it does more
than just feed the kitty.

Now you got my attention.
KONO: So, our perp

put brake fluid in the dish

and crushed up
pool chlorine tablets

in the dispenser,
and then he set the timer.

I take it this is the show-and-tell part.
If you don't mind.

When the chlorine tablets
hit the brake fluid, boom.

You get a chemical explosion.

Obviously much
larger than this.

And the timer
allows the perp to flee

the scene
before it goes off.

I bet that voids
the manufacturer's warranty.

FONG:
And anyone standing

within 50 yards of the blast.

Now check this out.
The same setup that was used

in the first two shark boats
was also used

in a construction site arson
two years ago.

Did HPD have a suspect
in the case?

Jimmy Amana.

Was he charged?
No.

The detectives had motive

but no way
to link the evidence to him.

What was the motive?

Amana's old-school Hawaiian,
so he believes

the land underneath the
construction site was sacred.

A guy like that would object
to the Shark Tours

for similar reasons.

You know how us locals
worship our sharks.

They're sacred animals.

This information isn't new.

Why didn't HPD question Amana
about the shark boat fires?

Why don't we ask him?

Out of my way!
Yidong! Yidong!

(line ringing)

Where the hell are you?
You're supposed to have my back!

You hear me?

I need h... I need help now!

(man grunts, woman screams)

(tires screech)

(grunts)

All right, come on.

Get up now.

Get up. Up, up, up.

Now, that...
was impressive.

Uh, I'd give him a nine
for degree of difficulty.

Minus one for intelligence.

(chuckles)
Let's go.

All right.

(tires screech)

Let him go!

Let him go now!
Hey! Drop your weapons!

Put the guns down and let him go.
Stand down. Stand down.

Drop your weapons.
Put your guns down. Let him go.

We're Five-O. Drop your weapons.

I'm not gonna
tell you again.

Drop your weapons.

FBI. This man is our CI.

He's working a major
RICO case for us.

Okay, well,
good for you,

but he's coming
with us.

Amana's a suspect
in our investigation.

With all due respect,

our case is bigger than
a couple of fires.

We gave this guy
a pass on the arsons.

A pass? Well, while you guys
were giving out

"get out of jail free" cards,

there was another boat
burned last night,

and this time
we have a dead body.

Whoa. I didn't burn
any more boats.

I didn't kill no one.

Did you have eyes
on him last night?

Not all night.

Look, if he
committed a murder

because you guys gave him
too long a leash,

you will be held accountable.
AGENT: Maybe you didn't hear us.

We're FBI, two years
into a RICO case.

You really think you can
just pull the rug out?

Have a nice day.

CHIN:
I ask a question.

You act dumb.

We can play this game
all day long.

What do you want me to say?

I killed your guy?

'Cause I didn't.

Did I burn some boats?

Yeah.

I did that.

But the Feds
looked the other way. (door buzzes)

So, Amana's alibi
checks out.

The Feds weren't
on him last night,

but I got a dozen degenerates
that say he was shooting craps

at T.O.D.
But the M.O.'s exactly the same.

Not exactly.
After Fong's discovery,

CSU went back and did a second
sweep of the crime scene,

but they found no
evidence to prove

that a pet dispenser was used
as an incendiary device.

(sighs) Well, either this
is a really bad frame job

or we're looking at a new M.O.

STEVE:
Hey, Max.

What's this about
another victim?

Behold.

Ta-da!

Gentlemen, allow me
to introduce you to

Isurus oxyrinchus,
the mako shark,

or simply mano, if you prefer.

I prefer you tell me
what it's doing in your office.

Well, a commercial fisherman
caught this specimen today,

and while they were gutting it
for off-island sale,

they found this inside it.

Lunch. That's nice.
Any idea

who... that belongs to?
Well, I'm running

the prints through AFIS
right now.

But I did find something
quite compelling:

There are traces of buckshot
in the arm.

That's the same ammo
they use in bang sticks.

Okay, so that could be
the attacker

Jason Brant shot on his boat.

Brilliant deduction,
Detective Williams.

I ran DNA, and it matched

the blood spatter found
at the crime scene.

Additional vascular analysis
indicated that the victim

was very much alive
when he was bitten.

Well, if he survived, then we're
looking for a one-armed perp.

MAX: I asked HPD
to reach out

to the area hospitals.

No reports of walk-ins
with that kind of trauma.

And given the amount of blood
loss, I doubt he survived.

DANNY:
So...

this... guy,
he approaches Jason at sea,

Jason shoots him
with the... fun stick

and goes overboard.
That's correct.

DANNY: Okay, but it does
not explain

how he also was able to get
Jason into the shark tank

and set his boat on fire.

Unless there was more
than one attacker.

CHIN: So, the prints from the arm
came back to this guy,

Hal Lewis.

Prior to being shark lunch,
he was a check bouncer.

He's also licensed
as a commercial fisherman

and co-owns a vessel you're
familiar with: the Carlyle.

I believe you interviewed
his partners this morning.

STEVE: Yes, we did. Jay Lappert
and Bruce Kaneshiro.

CHIN:
Yeah, so the story

they told you
about helping Jason

after he was beaten up
by the Kapu,

that's a fish tale.

Wow, seriously?
What?

Just keeping things thematic.

Okay. I'm thinking
that these three

got into a confrontation
with Jason last night.

Hal gets shot, the other
two finish the job.

This was territorial.

If Jason was dumping his
shark tank into fishing waters,

it was definitely messing
with their haul.

Messing with their livelihood.

It's financial
incentive

to shut the Shark Tours down.

Hello, motive.

What happened
to keeping it thematic?

Clear.

STEVE:
Guys, back bedroom.

Over here.

He's dead.

That's Bruce Kaneshiro.
What about Jay Lappert?

No sign of him.
The rest of the house is clear.

Okay, so we got
three partners.

One's dead here,
the other's puzzle pieces

at the bottom of the ocean,
and one's missing.

Perps could have taken Jay.

Yeah, unless he's dead.

Then where's the body?

All right, thanks.

I got a missing persons alert
out on Jay Lappert.

His boat is gone, too.
The Coast Guard is on it.

All right, well,
HPD ran his financials.

Last week, Jay and his buddies
spent $30,000

on diving equipment.

Okay, fishermen
just scraping by

don't spend 30 grand
on diving equipment.

No, Sub-Mariner doesn't spend
$30,000 on diving equipment.

What are they
doing with it?

Hey, guys, there's something
you need to see. Follow me.

Oh, by the way, the, uh...
the Sub-Mariner--

he doesn't need
diving equipment,

'cause he can breathe
underwater., uh... - Ah.

KONO:
You mean Prince Namor?

That's the Sub-Mariner's
real name.

I love it
when you guys geek out.

KONO: All right,
check this out.

This topographic dive map
has an area circled

that's three miles off
from Haleiwa Harbor.

That's the exact spot
that we found Jason's body.

Looks like our
three fishermen

were out there
searching for something.

Jason Brant
stumbles upon them,

gets in the way,
they kill him.

Look what I found.

Label's still damp, and it's got
signs of saltwater erosion.

Looks like our guys might have

recently pulled it
from the water.

Oyster sauce.

Mm-hmm, but...

the drum's empty.
(sniffs)

And that does not smell like
any oyster sauce I've ever had.

DANNY: Luckily, I don't know
what oyster sauce smells like.

But I know what this smell is.

What, bad licorice?

Close.

It's MDMA.

Pharmaceutical-grade Ecstasy.

Labs our Narco squad used to hit

smelled exactly
like this.

So that explains the map

and what our fishermen
were after:

sunken treasure.

You rang?
CHIN: Hey, Charlie.

We're sending you
over some evidence.

We think it's MDMA.

But it's been exposed
to salt water,

so it's pretty eroded.

There is a logo
stamped on it, uh,

so what I'm
going to need you to do

is enhance it, and then run it

through the logo database,
see if we can

come up with a match
to any known producer.

Copy that.

KONO:
If that thing was filled,

that's a small fortune in X.

And the reason why someone's
knocking off our fishermen.

The logo on the pill suggests
that it was produced

by a Taiwanese
drug cartel the DEA believes

has been smuggling Ecstasy
into Hawaii

for the last 18 months.

A couple days ago,
two suspected couriers

were arrested when they tried to
fly onto Oahu under the radar.

DANNY:
Okay, let me guess.

There were no drugs on the plane
when they searched it.

Exactly.

They must have picked up
DEA surveillance

and ditched their load
before they were grounded.

DEA recorded
the plane's flight path.

STEVE:
Check it out.

They flew right over the area

where Jason Brant
anchored his shark cases.

Our fishermen were there, too.

So, I'm thinking
maybe they see

the cargo get dropped
in the water,

figure it's contraband,
decide to take it.

Until Jason Brant
crashes their party.

He thinks
they're activists

vandalizing his
shark cages.

By the time he figures out what

they're actually doing,
they killed him.

All right, now these idiots

are sitting on a ton of dope
worth a lot money.

Wait a minute.

Wait, wait, wait.

That's why we
can't find Jay.

He's not dead.
He's got the X.

What are you thinking,
he took out his partners?

100% is... is way sweeter
than splitting it three ways.

If you can unload it, yeah.
(cell phone ringing)

Hold on. Yeah?

Yeah, we're on our way.
Okay, that was Kono.

Coast Guard found
Jay's boat, the Carlyle.

It's docked at a terminal
facility on Sand Island.

Thanks, Charlie.

Kono, secure
the perimeter.

Go. Go.

(indistinct talking)

STEVE:
Five-O!

Hey! Stop!

Put it down. Right now.

DANNY: Now.
CHIN: Now!

Keep your hands
where we can see them.

Get your hands
behind your head.

CHIN: Interlace your fingers.
STEVE: You, put your hands

in front of you.

Put them in
front of you.

Interlock
your fingers.

I know, our timing's horrible.

(gunfire)

Get down!

DANNY:
Watch it!

STEVE:
Hold your fire! Hold your fire!

MAN: It's three weeks
to Taipei, gentlemen.

Enjoy the trip.
Please, man,

don't put me in there.
You don't have

to worry about that,
Mr. Lappert.

Killing cops
is bad for business.

But killing a thief

who tried to
steal from me,

well, that's hard
to overlook.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm sorry.

I-I didn't know they were
your drugs! I swear!

But you knew they belonged
to someone else.

And yet you still elected
to help yourself

and try to broker a deal
with my competition.

The Buddhists

have an old saying:

"I am of the
nature to die.

There's no way
to escape death".

(grunting)

(automatic gunfire)

STEVE:
Get up.

Get up.

(groans)

Well, cuz, when did you learn
how to operate a crane?

First time.
Just winged it.

Book him, Kono.

Oh. Where's the love?

She earned this one.

KONO:
Thanks, boss.

(door buzzes)

Hey.

I want to see
a lawyer.

Oh, we're working on getting you
a public defender,

but no one could believe
you're actually this stupid.

We could dig Johnnie Cochran up
and get him back to work,

but he even he
couldn't get you out of jail.

So, let's see--
you stole drugs from a cartel,

and then you killed Jason Brant
because he saw you do it,

and then you whack out
your own partners.

So, man, I feel like I should
just shoot you right now,

save the taxpayers money

for your trial
and life in prison.

The only thing I can't work out
is: Why would you and Bruce

throw Hal overboard
after Jason Brant shot him?

Why would you do that?

Hal was bleeding pretty bad.

He wasn't going to make it.

So, instead of rushing him
to the hospital,

you just decided
to sacrifice him to the sharks?

Wow, you are

a real humanitarian,
you know that?

Okay, what about Bruce?

He was freaking out.

Said he couldn't live with
himself after what we did.

He was gonna go
to the cops, man.

Okay, well, you got
to shut him up, right?

That's good. So now you're gonna
do time for all three murders,

and turns out
it was all for nothing.

The drugs you went to all
that trouble to steal,

they're worthless.

What are you talking about?

The lab tested
the Ecstasy,

and the precursor chemicals that
they use to make the Ecstasy...

were tainted.

Yeah. Taking those pills
would take you

to the same place
as a breath mint.

Anyway...

I hope it was
all worth it.

STEVE (over radio):
We had a deal.

You said if Kamekona passed

Okay, well, next time
I say something stupid

like that again,
punch me in the mouth.

STEVE: Happily.
DANNY: Thank you.

Seriously, though,
now that you're up here,

you're glad you came, right?
No, no.

Exactly
the opposite.

Every fiber of my being

I should not be

KAMEKONA:
If we go down,

I'll look after Grace for you.

Don't worry, brah.

Oh, you will?
How you gonna...

Thank you, Kamekona.

Shoots, don't even mention it.

Well, Kamekona,

I am perfectly

I... forgot where I was.

You guys are making me

Okay, okay,

Better this way.
