♪

Yeah!



Yeah!

Gotta hand it to you, buddy.

You got a lot of heart,
showing up with that haircut.

You know, I find it difficult

to be insulted by a man

who uses more product in his
hair than most women do.

Sinéad O'Connor called,
she wants her hairstyle back.

Very good.

Well, hairstyle would imply

that this was intentional,

and I think Steve

just got a little carried away
trimming his sideburns.

You, too, huh?

What? It's what happened.



It's okay.

Hakkeyoi
nokotta, nokotta, nokotta!

There you go, people.

The winner once again,

my little cousin,

the Samoan Scrapper, Flippa!

Winner!

Now who wants to
take on the champ

for a chance at free grindz?

Dude, pick me, pick me!

Over here, man.

Me! Come on, man!

Get in the ring, little sistah.

You've got to be kidding.

He's not even trying to make it
look like a fair fight anymore.

- Come on.
- No, no, no. I like her.

I like homegirl's chances.
She's, uh...

she's very scrappy-looking.

All right, I like her a lot.

♪

Thanks, Zac.

Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

No worries. I just ordered.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

You sure?

It's Adam.

I just haven't heard
from him in days.

Left him messages,
sent him texts.

Well, maybe
he's tied up at work.

Maybe.

Maybe he's just
avoiding me.

Kono, what's going on?

I can't really put my finger
on it. It's just...

Adam's definitely different.

It's like he's more secretive,
you know?

It's like he's hiding something.

Hiding what?

I'm not sure.

It seemed to start when his...

when his brother Michael
came out of prison.

Kono, that was
months ago.

Why didn't
you say something sooner?

If you can't trust
Adam, then you can't be

with him.

Do you trust him?

I don't know.

Wow.

Look, you know that I had
my doubts about him, right?

Yeah.

But he was there for you
when you needed him most.

So, before you assume the worst,

why don't you at least give him
a chance to explain?

Hakkeyoi nokotta,
nokotta, nokotta!

Ooh, bold new
look there, boss.

Come on!

Everybody? Really?
Okay, it's hair.

You know the good thing
about hair? It grows back.

Well,

if you're lucky.

Hakkeyoi nokotta,
nokotta, nokotta!

Winner!

Winner!

Shrimp dinner!

Sorry, cuz.

Don't sweat it.
That shrimp plate?

It's coming out
of your paycheck.

McGarrett.

Yeah, we're on the way.

We got to go.

A couple hikers discovered her

this morning.

Jane Doe, no I.D.

She can't be older than 17.

Shot in the back

and dumped in a shallow grave.

My guys found some fresh
tire tracks nearby.

CSU's making casts.

No shoes,

feet are torn up pretty good.

Scratches and splinters
on her arms.

Probably from the branches.

I'm thinking the shooter drove
out here to execute her,

she made a run for it,

he shot her in the back.

You all right?

We got to go find her parents.

Okay, thank you.

Lab just confirmed that the
tire tracks found at the scene

are consistent with late-model
Ford vans and trucks--

that's anything manufactured
after 2008.

Plus, the tires were sold
commercially.

That's fantastic.
So that narrows it

down to
about 2,000

vehicles on this island.

Hey, so the
autopsy report

came back. Max put T.O.D.
around 1:00 a.m. this morning.

But this is what

you really need to see.

What is that,
ankle bruising?

It's not
just bruising.

It's scar tissue.

Max also found calcification
around the ankle bone.

For that to
develop, the victim

would have had to have been
restrained a long time.

How long?

Years.

They were keeping
this girl prisoner.

All right, Max say there were
any signs of sexual abuse?

No.

But he did find

a foreign hair on the body.
Okay.

If the hair doesn't
belong to the victim,

maybe her killer
left it behind.

Yeah, Fong's running it for DNA.

Got an I.D. on
our Jane Doe.

Prints turned up in the
missing persons database.

Her name's Amanda Morris.

My God.

When did she go missing?
2003.

She was seven years old
when she was kidnapped,

which would make her 17 today.

Chin,

run age progression software
on that photograph,

please.

It's obviously her.

Amanda Morris was kidnapped

ten years ago.

Where's she been
this whole time?

The only thing worse
than losing your daughter...

is losing her twice.

All those years spent waiting,

holding out hope that the police
would find Amanda.

And that whole time, she was
right here on the Island?

I don't understand.

- How could this happen?
- Well,

there's still a lot that we
don't know about this case.

But, uh, please believe me
when I say

we are doing everything we can
to find the person who did this.

We know it was a long time ago,
but anything you can tell us

about Amanda's abduction could
maybe help with our case.

It was her summer break,

and we were at the water park.

Amanda had worked up
enough courage to...

go down the high slide,

so I-I walked her over
to the line and...

and I waited at the bottom.

I had my camera out to take
that picture of her coming down.

She never did.

It's likely

whoever took your daughter
was using the water park

as his hunting ground.

This could have

happened to anybody.

Yeah.

But it happened to us.

Chin, I stopped by HPD,

and I picked up the case file
on Amanda's abduction.

It's pretty thin.

Did their investigation turn up
any leads or suspects?

No. At the time, HPD followed
protocol and they ran background

on Amanda's family
and neighbors,

all of them who checked out.

Investigators always suspected
it was a professional job.

Possibly part of a child
trafficking ring.

Well, except by all
appearances, Amanda was

never taken off the Island.

So why was she abducted?

I'm heading back now.

I just need to make
a quick stop first.

All right.

Okay.

Adam?

♪

Drop your weapons!

Drop them, both of you!
Do the math.

You don't have enough time
to get off two shots.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Admire the confidence.

Comes with the badge.

Is that right?

Five-O.

You must be Adam's
cop girlfriend.

We got concealed carry permits if
you care to see 'em.

Those things permit you to break
into people's homes, too?

Door was open.

We just came to see
if Adam was around.

You know where
we might find him?

He went to see Sato, didn't he?

Who the hell is Sato?

Never mind, then.

If you see your boyfriend,

tell him his brother
Michael's looking for him.

So, Amanda Morris is kidnapped
ten years ago.

There's no ransom demands,

there's no signs of abuse,

and we know she
wasn't trafficked

because she never
left the Island.

Okay, so what
was the kidnapper

doing with her all these years?
I don't know,

but there's another question
that we're not asking,

and that is,
why kill her now?

All right,
what changed

that led
Amanda's abductor

to suddenly want
to get rid of her

- after ten years?
- Hey.

Just heard
from Fong.

Lab got a hit on
that foreign hair

found on Amanda's body.

Only it didn't come
from our killer.

How do we know that?

Because it came back

to a six-year-old girl
named Ella Bishop...

who was kidnapped from
her home in Waipio

yesterday afternoon.

There's only one way

that her hair ended up
on Amanda's body.

Both girls were kidnapped
by the same person.

Whenever you're ready.

Ella was wearing a blue
jumper with a white shirt.

She also had a heart bracelet
with her name on it.

If anyone

has seen her,
please call the police

right away.

We just want our daughter back.

Thank you.
We'll get this out right away.

Let's go.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm Tip Gilbert.

And my crew

and I are here
to see if

the family
needs any help.

Your daughter was Maile?

Yes, she was.

Hey, uh, I heard about you guys.

Uh, like what you do,
you help HPD.

Missing persons cases,

you set up search parties--
it's good.

Never hurts to have too many
eyes and ears out there.

Right.
Look, I know you guys

are doing everything
you can to find Ella,

but if you get a lead
and need us to hit the streets,

give me a call.

All right. Great.

Thank you very much.

My pleasure.

Nice work.
Thanks, guys.

♪

No.

I mean, ten years
is a long time,

but I don't think
I've ever seen her.

Sorry.

No.

I got to ask you, though,

if it's been so long,

why do you think
these two cases are related?

Mr. Bishop, Amanda Morris' body

was discovered this morning,

and evidence on it indicates

that she was in contact
with your daughter.

Oh, no...

Listen,

we have every reason
to believe right now

that your daughter is okay.

Hear me? We think
that she's okay.

So, I need you
both to stay

optimistic, 'cause
we are gonna find her

and we're gonna
bring her back to you.

Okay?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay.

♪

I know what you're
gonna say, okay?

Cop 101: do not make promises
that you cannot keep.

Okay, I get it.

You all but guaranteed

those people
we'd find their daughter.

What... what happens
when we can't

deliver on that promise, Danny?

What do we do then?

Listen to me.

When Grace was taken
by Rick Peterson last year,

I know it was only
for a couple of hours,

but it felt like a month.

It was the worst day
of my life,

and every second,
you cannot stop

thinking about
worst-case scenario.

So I-I know what Ella's parents

are going through right now,

and hope,
even if it is false hope,

is the only thing
that's keeping them going.

Yeah, Chin?

HPD canvass got a lead.

One of Ella's neighbors
noticed a suspicious vehicle

parked on her street roughly
an hour before the kidnapping.

I ran the plate,

and it came back to a 2009

Ford Econoline van.

Oh, that's consistent
with the tire tracks

that were found at the scene

where Amanda Morris'
body was dumped.

All right, so our killer uses
the same van to abduct Ella.

Uh, who's it registered to?

Well, that's the thing.

The van was reported stolen
48 hours ago.

I've already put out an APB
and a MAILE AMBER Alert.

HPD has got all available units

searching the Island for it.

I'll update you

as soon as we have
some more information.

All right, copy that.
Thank you, Chin.

What are you doing?

Getting some extra eyes
out there.

♪

Detective Williams.

Danny,

it's Tip.

We got a lock on the van.

He's northbound
on Kalanianaole Highway.

Coming out of Waimanalo.

Okay, please stay right on him.
We're on our way.

All right?

Roger that.

♪

Hey, hey!

Show me your hands right now!

On the ground. On the ground.

Get on the ground.

Face down.
Face down!

Face down... now lock your
fingers behind your head.

Danny?

She in there?

No.

Lloyd Grimes.

You got

an impressive
body of work here.

Corruption of a minor,
aggravated assault,

assault with a deadly weapon.

Now you can add
kidnapping and murder

to that résumé.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

Ella Bishop. Where is she?

What, you mean that
girl who went missing?

Who's all in the news?

Why would you think I had
something to do with that?

Because the day she went
missing, you were spotted

in a stolen van parked
two blocks from her house.

I have nothing more
to say to you guys.

Listen to me, okay?

The only reason I don't
choke the life out of you

right now is because I think you
know where that little girl is.

So do yourself a favor

- and speak up.
- Danny.

Tell me where she is right now.

Danny!

Step away.

Oh, you guys
are insane!

I didn't kidnap
any girl, I swear.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight.

One, two,

three, four, five,

six, seven, eight.

Defense becomes the offense.

What? Get.

That. Ball.

Good!

Danno, what are
you doing here?

Come here, babe.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Everything's good, monkey,
I just wanted a hug.

All right?

All right, go ahead.

♪

Ready!

Defense

becomes the offense...

♪

So, HPD searched
our suspect's house.

No sign of Ella,
but they did find

upwards of 30 grand

worth of stolen property

stashed in the
guy's garage.

Okay, so he's
a kidnapper and a thief.

Well, actually,
here's the thing.

A bunch of the
items traced back

to recent burglaries
in Ella's neighborhood.

This guy hit over a dozen
houses over the past month.

That's why his van
was spotted there yesterday.

He wasn't there to grab Ella.
He was casing the neighborhood.

Makes sense, given there was

another house robbed there
last night.

Either this guy's quite
the multitasker,

or he's not our kidnapper.

♪

Saw you on that left.
Late drop.

I thought you weren't
gonna make it.

Yeah, you and me both.

Man.

So, what'd you want
to talk to me about?

I need a favor.

All right, Steve's usually
the one asking for those.

He sending you to
do his dirty work?

No.

This one's for me.

I need to run intel

on someone, but I need it
done off the books.

This isn't about a case, is it?

What's the name?

Sato. It's a common
Japanese surname.

But the guy
I'm looking for is connected

to the Yakuza in some way.

Is Adam in some kind of trouble?

That's what I need to find out.

But, Catherine,

I'd really appreciate it if
you just kept this between us.

Kono, if Steve asks me,
I'm not going to lie to him.

He's not going to ask
'cause he doesn't know anything.

Hey.
Hey.

Security cam footage
from the Bank

of O'ahu on Waipio.
That's just

a few blocks
from Ella Bishop's house.

Mm-hmm. One of their ATMs faces
right out onto the street.

I was hoping it may have
caught our kidnapper on video.

Any luck?
No.

So far, none of the vehicles
matches the tire tracks

found at the murder scene.

You ever hear from Adam?

Uh, yeah... actually.

He finally called back,
and you were right.

He was just wrapped up
with work.

Glad to hear it.
Thanks.

That's odd.

What is?

That blue sedan--

it passes
through the intersection

six times in the 20 minutes
before Ella was abducted.

Okay, but the tire tracks
at the murder scene

were left by a van or a truck.

Oh, our guy could have used

a different vehicle
for the kidnapping.

Six times in 20 minutes.
Either he's lost

or he's waiting
for an opportunity.

I'll run the plate.

Vehicle's registered

to a Helen Cantera.

That's Cantera.

Check out what she's wearing.

An HPD uniform.

Chin, she's not a cop.

That's how she got Ella
into the car with her.

No plates.

And the car in the
video was blue.

Paint's fresh. Cantera's
trying to cover her tracks.

Whoa. Hey.

Steve!

Helen Cantera, Five-O!

If Ella's in there with you,
you need to let her go right...

Gun!

Any sign of Ella?

She's not here.

She knew, Danny.

She knew, and she chose
to take her own life

rather than tell us
where Ella is.

Must have come off Ella's wrist
when she was in the trunk.

As far as the property
is concerned,

HPD has searched this place
top to bottom,

and so far there's no sign
that Ella was ever here.

Maybe Cantera has her stashed
someplace else

until the heat dies down.

It's possible, but Amanda Morris
was held prisoner for ten years.

Assuming Cantera kept her here,

- why is there no signs of that either?
- Guys?

There's something inside
you need to see.

All right,

so "cop" was
definitely not

the only role
in Cantera's repertoire.

Look at this--
nurse, paramedic, nun.

Those are all people
a child would trust.

All right, if Cantera's
got this many disguises,

that means she's done
this more than twice.

Yeah.
So, we're dealing with what,

a serial abductor?

A serial abductor who traffics
children for profit.

There's 40 grand
in there easy.

Well, that explains why, after
ten years, there's no evidence

of Amanda ever having been here.

Cantera kidnapped her
for somebody else.

And now
that same person has Ella.

You must be hungry.

I made you a sandwich.

I'm not hungry.
I want to go home.

You are home, sweetie.

May I join you?

I'm sorry
he had to do that to you.

I'm sure you're scared,

and you probably miss
your parents a lot.

But there's something
I need you to know.

Your mommy and daddy were
in a very bad accident.

I want to see them.

I'm sorry, honey.

You can't.

Ever again.

They're in Heaven.

And we're your family now.

This just in.

Big development
in the Ella Bishop case.

Investigators have identified

a local woman who they believe

to be the suspected kidnapper.

We're being told
her name is Helen Cantera,

and that HPD raided
her residence just hours ago.

Authorities are still at the
scene combing through evidence

in order to locate
the missing girl.

In other news,
the transit authority says

the H-1 will reopen
tomorrow morning.

Proposed roadwork will proceed.

I ran background
on Helen Cantera.

She's originally
from Arizona.

She moved to the Island
back in October of 2002.

Less than a year later,
Amanda Morris goes missing.

So, more than likely, Cantera
kidnapped both our victims.

Yeah, and who knows how many
other kids during that time.

All right, get HPD everything
that you have on Cantera.

And see if they can
link her to any

open kidnapping cases.

Okay. Sorry. I
got to take this.

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey. Are you alone?

Yeah.

Good.

Listen, I'm e-mailing you
a full intel package

on Riku Sato.

You were right about him being
connected to the Yakuza.

Guy's what

they call an oyabun.

That means he's a boss
of one of the families.

Sato's been linked
to over a dozen murders.

Politicians, heads
of rival criminal syndicates.

He also used to be in business

with Adam's father,
Hiro Noshimuri,

back when Hiro was
a power player in the Yakuza.

And, Kono, there's more.

Japanese police

have been monitoring Sato's
compound in Osaka for months.

Check the last entry
in their surveillance logs.

Adam's there.

He arrived two days ago.

Kono,

this may be none of my business,

but if your boyfriend
is getting into business

with the head of the Yakuza,

I really think
you need to tell Steve.

Hey, Cath?
Uh, sorry. I have to go.

I just dumped
Cantera's cell phone.

Listen to the voice mail
she received this morning.

It's done.
Meet me at 9:00 tonight.

And bring the cash.

Cash? Cash for what?

Number traces back
to a David Parsons.

He works in the Vital
Records Division

of the Hawaii
Department of Health.

Over the years he
created a total of 21

false identities for
Cantera's victims.

I forwarded everything

to the FBI's
Human Trafficking Division.

They're gonna start
tracking those kids down now.

Check this out.

The last false identity
he created was for Ella.

She was put
into the system

under the name Lisa Beckett.

Here's the thing, though--

the parents listed
on the birth certificate

are Ray and Terry Beckett.

And we verified they're
an actual married couple living

- in Makaha.
- And that's not all. Records show

that they've also been
collecting welfare benefits

on an older daughter
named Jessica Beckett

for the past
ten years.

Amanda.

And the benefits
run out in November

when she turns 18.

That's why they got rid
of Amanda and brought in Ella.

They need a minor in there
to keep the money flowing.

Hey!

Five-O.

Where's the girl?

You're interrupting
my lunch.

Hang on. I got this.

Ma'am, stay where you are.
Put your hands up.

Ma'am,

put your hands up
and don't move.

Okay, you, get up.

Up. Up, up, up.

Hands behind your back.

Get up, stand up.

Hands behind your back,
hands behind your back.

Nothing.

Oops.

I guess whatever
you're looking for is

not here.

Shut up.

Danny.

I want to see a warrant.

Shut up.

Where is she?

Huh?

Where is she?

Okay.

All right.

You don't want
to talk about Ella.

Let's talk about Amanda,
then, okay?

Who's Amanda?

Who's Amanda? Amanda...

is a little innocent girl
that you kept prisoner here

in your house
for ten years.

All so you could

collect $500
in welfare benefits.

I mean, I don't understand.
Doesn't make any sense to me.

Y-You could've... you could've
made that same amount,

uh, recycling tin cans.

Huh?

I can't work.

I'm on disability.
Oh,

you're on disability.

That's good.

Explain to me
'cause I don't understand.

How would it... how would it go?
Child Services,

they come by, uh, you let that
little girl out of her cage,

put on a little act?
A little show?

Huh? Is that how it went?

I mean, how much fear
did you have to instill

in that little kid
to keep her mouth shut, huh?

Huh?

I don't think you're anything

like your husband.

To him, these girls were
just a payday, but...

...I think you cared about them.

The way this place is decorated,
all the gifts, the books.

He didn't do this.

You did all this, right?

But if you really care about
Ella, you need to tell me

where she is right now or
she's gonna end up like Amanda.

You understand?

Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.

Ray didn't tell you
what he did to Amanda,

did he?

You're trying to trick me.

Oh, my God.

Hey. Look at
the photograph.

Look at it.

She was about
to turn 18.

He had no use for her anymore.
What'd you think

he was gonna do, let her go?

If I'd have known...

If you'd have known what?

You wouldn't have done anything.

That's not true.

Prove it.

Where's Ella?

You took Ella away
in your truck this afternoon.

You told your wife

that you needed
to hide her

until things
cooled down.

So why don't you just tell us
right now where Ella is,

all right?

Last chance. Where is she?

Why would I give up the only
leverage I've got right now?

Leverage?

Danny!

You can't do that to me.

You're cops!

Give me your badge.

Give me the badge.

That's 400 yards out
from the road.

This is where Ray

said it would be.

Oh, oh, oh. Hey.

Marker right here.
Here's his marker.

Hey, everybody!

Right over here! Look around.

Everybody, right
around here.

Hey, guys,

over here!

Ella!

Ella!

Hey, get a shovel here! Come on.

Bring some shovels.

Ella, can you hear us?

Ella?
Ella?

Ella?

Oh. Oh, oh.

All right. Hey.

Ella.

Hey. Hey.

Come here, sweetie.
Come here.

You're okay.
I got you.

We got you. You okay?

You all right?

Huh? Anything hurt?

You okay, babe?

You all right?

Let's get you
out of here. Come on.

Let's go home.

Ella!

Ella!

Ella.

Some things I can remember
more than others.

Like my house on Kilihau St.

My bike in the driveway

with the pink tassels
on the handlebars.

Mom's face I'll never forget.

It's there
when I look in the mirror.

When I was little, people would
say how much I looked like her.

Dad only comes in glimpses.

Sitting on his lap
while he read books to me.

How big his hands were
next to mine.

The way his cologne smelled.

Those memories
are all I have left.

They tell me my parents are
dead, but I don't believe it.

I know they're still alive

and they still love me.

I just hope they know
that I love them, too.
