Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 3, Episode 5 - Mohai - full transcript

A gruesome murder on Halloween night appears to be related to a Satanic ritual, and Five-0 must find the killer before he claims a second victim.

All units,

reports of a pedestrian obstructing
traffic on the H-1 Freeway,

eastbound lane at Waipahu.

Suspect appears intoxicated
and is not wearing any pants.

3-Bravo-334 responding.
On our way now.

Sounds like another wild Halloween.

You boys got your hands full
this year.

Full moon too.

Must be quiet out there if you're
listening in on our band, officer.

Gotta get my thrills somehow.

Dispatch, this is Officer Hale.



Looks like I have a two-vehicle accident
on Kahekili North.

Possible 212.

Send fire and ambo to my location.

Copy.
Fire and ambulance are en route.

This is the
Honolulu Police Department.

Is anybody out there?

Where am I?

I was in an accident.

I need a hospital!

No!

Please, don't!

No! No, no!

So exciting.

Thank you for the hook up, man.
How do I look?



You look like you're ready to report
to SEAL Team 6.

- Yeah? For real?
- For real.

- I know you said no weapons and all,
- Yeah?

But if you let me borrow some smoke
grenades, I'm really gonna look legit.

What could possibly go wrong?

You know, no, no.
We discussed that earlier.

No, no heavy ordinances, okay?
That was the deal, so...

But you look great.

You've heard of Blu-ray, right?

Yeah, I rented that movie
in the 9th grade with Jenny Feldman,

and it's been a Halloween tradition
ever since.

Okay, so you're good to go, I think.

Scary, wow. What is this?

Let's see some popcorn.

Okay, okay.

- Hey.
- Yo.

Don't you have a party
you gotta get to?

Pretty soon.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, YOU got a party to go to?

- Indeed I do.
- Okay, all right.

You two have a wonderful evening.

Mm. Trick or treat.

- All right.
- Ahem.

I don't know what's sadder.

The fact that you use this lame movie
to hook up with girls,

or the fact that it worked.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Please! You put on a scary movie,
wait for the girl to fall in your arms.

It's all just a little bit obvious.

Tell me you weren't trying
to seduce me

when you made me
watch The Notebook.

- What? That movie won an Oscar.
- No, it didn't.

Okay, maybe it was
a Teen Choice Award,

but that movie was romantic.

So it's not my method that you
object to, it's the movie I choose.

Honestly, was this really even scary
when you were a kid?

- Jenny Feldman thought so.
- That slut.

- She thought she was so scared.
- No.

She was terrified.
Oh, my God.

- Oh, wait.
- What?

- Sure your mom's not coming home?
- Mom is in Maui visiting friends.

Go away.

They'll move along. It's fine.

Someone wants their candy.

They'll move along eventually.
It's gonna be great.

They don't get some,
you don't get some.

Okay.

All right, all right.

- She ditched me.
- Please come in.

My own daughter ditched me.

It's Halloween.
We're supposed to go trick-or-treating.

She says, "Dad, is it okay
if I go with my friends instead?"

What am I supposed to do, huh?

Say, "No, I command you
to spend Halloween with your father?"

Doesn't sound so bad.
I should have said it.

Hey, want some candy?

No, I don't want candy.
Can I have a beer?

- You want a beer?
- Yeah. What's the matter with you?

Okay.

It's my fault.
I know it's my fault too.

The times I had to bail on her
because of work.

She has learned that it's acceptable
to be unreliable.

No, don't beat yourself up
about this.

Grace is at the age

where she's discovering
her independence right now.

She's 10. What independence?

And what's gonna happen
when she gets to high school?

Oh, wait till she starts dating.

Are you trying to make me feel better?
You're not doing a very good job.

Dating.

- Where's the beer?
- You're on duty.

Chin just called.

- Caught a case.
- Let's go.

I had ten minutes with my daughter
when I pick her up from a sleepover.

Now I gotta call Rachel
and ask her to do it?

No, no, no. Send me the address,
and I'll go pick her up for you.

- Really?
- Yeah, of course. I'd be happy to.

That'd be very nice.
I'd appreciate that.

That's very sweet of you.
Thank you.

Go. I got it.

Officer on patrol called it in.

Says both cars were empty
when he came upon the scene.

Okay, well, nobody's walking away
from an accident this brutal.

That's the thing.
This wasn't an accident.

'96 Chevy pickup
was reported stolen earlier today.

The damage indicates that it struck
the other vehicle multiple times,

causing it to lose control
and flip over.

So road rage.

No, this was premeditated.
Show them, Charlie.

Wire to the air bags was cut.

Driver disabled them
so they wouldn't deploy on impact.

Guy didn't wanna catch an air bag
to the face. I get it.

- Any prints?
- Negative. Whole cabin's wiped down.

I did find hairs on the headrest.
I'll run them and let you know.

So this guy uses a stolen truck
to follow a victim to a remote location,

then it's smash, grab and bail.

How? The guy steals a car, dumps it
at the scene. How does he get out?

Maybe he had another car nearby,
or he had an accomplice trailing him.

Either way, it's a carefully planned
kidnap-abduction.

The car was registered to
Lisa Heller,

a 24-year-old nursing student.

Young, attractive female. Everything
a stalker looks for in a victim.

We need to know
everywhere Lisa was tonight.

We determine where Lisa was
followed from, we might get a lead.

We just got a hit
on Lisa's credit card.

Someone tried using it at a convenience
store. H.P.D just picked him up.

I got nothing to do with
no missing girl.

I've been in lockup
for the past three days.

Just posted bail an hour ago.

It still doesn't explain how
you got a hold of that credit card.

Brah, I got the worst luck.

I got out of the joint, not a cent
in my pocket and wouldn't you know it,

there's this purse lying there
on the ground.

Had some plastic in it, so I thought
I'd give it a shot and buy some booze.

In retrospect,
it was a poor decision.

Where did you find the purse?

You know, it's a fact.
Since the beginning of time,

nothing good has ever happened
in an alley after midnight, ever.

- Guys.
- What?

ID's still in the wallet.

All right, we got Lisa's purse.

Kono, you okay?

- Yeah.
- See? What did I tell you?

Guys?

That's blood.

Hey, what are you doing?
You going to a hip-hop class later?

Halloween party.

This year I decided to continue
my tradition of Keanu-themed costumes

by dressing up
as Ted "Theodore" Logan

from the 1989 classic
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Party time. Excellent.

- No, no, no.
- That phrase is from Wayne's World.

What you are looking for was simply
"Excellent" or "Party on, dude,"

but thank you for the effort.

- Okay, I was very close.
- Shall we?

Please keep in mind that these
are just my preliminary findings.

I'll get you a complete report
after I complete the autopsy.

Looks like you're pretty far along.

If you're referring to the Y incision
on the chest and abdomen,

well, that's not my work.

The victim arrived this way.

- The killer did this?
- Correct.

And a CT scan revealed that
her heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas

have all been removed as well.

These look like hesitation wounds.

I'd imagine that a clean cut would be
difficult when the subject is resisting.

She was alive
when the killer did this?

I think the killer had a practical reason
for keeping Lisa alive

while he removed her organs.

According to her medical record,
Lisa Heller's blood type is O-negative.

- She was a universal blood donor.
- Right.

Also her organs were more viable
for transplant.

Are you saying that Lisa has been
targeted by organ traffickers?

It makes sense.

A healthy kidney can fetch
up to $200,000 on the black market.

- To guys like that, Lisa's a big payday.
- This island is not that big.

Cannot be too many people
selling organs.

Great.
Let's call H.P.D, see what they got.

You know, your dad really wanted
to pick you up this morning.

It's okay. I'm used to it.

You know, when I was a little girl,
my father used to work a lot too.

And he was in the Navy, so sometimes
he'd be gone for months at a time.

- Did you miss him?
- A lot, yeah.

But that was the sacrifice
that he had to make for his country.

Just like your dad's had to
make sacrifices for his job,

which is keeping this island safe.

I know it's really hard
to be away from your family, Grace,

that's why it's important

to make the most
of the time that you have together.

Did you think Danno was sad that
I didn't go trick-or-treating with him?

Hmm. I think maybe a little bit.

But I'm sure you can
make it up to him.

Hey. So I just got off the phone
with Fong.

Results came back
on the hair that he found.

Did he get a hit
off any of the databases?

No, he didn't,
because the hair is not human.

Not human?
What are you talking about?

It belonged to a goat. Goat hair.

What?

I think it's obvious
what happened here.

A goat did it. Case closed.
We're good.

The more we learn about this case,
the less it makes sense.

Max, what do you got?

I've completed my internal examination
of the victim's body.

It's a real mess in there.

Massive blood loss,
extensive tissue damage,

and the coronary and renal arteries
were irregularly transected.

All of which tells me no effort
was made to preserve the organs.

So you're saying Lisa's murder had
nothing to do with organ trafficking?

No, but the autopsy
did uncover something else.

- What was that?
- Actually, commander,

I really think
you need to see this in person.

Sorry to drag you back in here,

but I noticed something disturbing
while performing the autopsy.

My hypothesis is
that the killer used a knife

with a unique engraving
on the handle.

When he rested it on the victim's skin,
it left a latent blood impression.

- Looks like some sort of symbol.
- A partial symbol.

If you'll allow me,
I think I know what it is.

- Five-pointed star.
- Also known as a pentagram.

A common symbol for the occult.

A guy uses a knife
with this thing on it

to cut out a woman's organs.
What does that mean?

This was a ritualistic murder.

I got something.

Lisa's parents said
Lisa went to the library last night.

So I had campus security
send over security footage.

She was never at the library.

Maybe our perp abducted her
before she got there.

I think she lied
about where she was going.

I pulled her e-mails,

and it looked like she was planning
to attend this party.

"All Hallow's Eve Costume Ball.

A night of deviance and depravity
in honor of The Beast."

The invitation was anonymous.

But the address for the party
is an old house in Maunalani Heights.

According to the city records,
it was condemned 20 years ago.

And it's been sitting vacant
ever since.

If nobody lives there,
who threw the party?

Hey, you know what,

I actually remember this place.

We used to ride up here on our bikes
when we were kids.

Rumor had it...

this place is haunted.

Do me a favor, please.

- What do you mean?
- You're trying to spook me.

Your goofy ghost story
is not going to work, okay?

After you.

Okay, looks like the Manson family
threw a party here.

Hey. Hey, hey-

You were just kidding about this place
being haunted, right? Right? Hey.

I'm gonna take the second floor.

Why are you whispering?

Hey, hey. Steve, where you going?

- Where you going?
- Shh, shh, shh.

Should I go up there with you? Hey.

- Shh, shh, shh.
- Okay, I'll be quiet.

You want I should wait in the car?

Hey.

I'll go this way.

Steve!

Hey.

- Whoa!
- It's makeup.

Who are you?
What are you doing here?

I should ask you.
You guys are in my house.

Oh, you really sold that one,
Jesse Hills

from 3869 Banting Road.

So I'm squatting here
for a few days.

What happened? The neighbors
complain about the noise?

A girl that came to your party
last night, Lisa Heller, she's dead.

Lisa's dead? How'd she die?

She was murdered.
Rather brutally, actually.

Judging from your decoration,

you look like the kind of guy who's
capable of doing something like that.

Wait, you think--

No, guys. Look, I'm not even really
into all this creepy stuff.

I was just trying to throw
a bitchen Halloween party,

and I couldn't do it
at my house because...

Because what?

Because I live with my parents.
You happy?

Okay, none of that proves
that you did not murder Lisa.

There had to have been
at least a hundred people at the party.

Any of them could have
just as easily killed her.

Did you notice anything strange,
out of place?

Anybody watching her,
following her?

There might be something
on the video.

What video?

I had a Flip camera
that I was passing around last night.

I was gonna post it to my Facebook.

We need to see that right now.
Get up! Come on!

Nice tattoo.

Thanks.
But you'll have to be more specific.

The five-pointed star.

What's the significance?

The pentagram means
different things to different people.

To me, it's a sign of my Wiccan faith.

The pentagram we're interested in
was engraved on a murder weapon.

A knife to be exact.

Sell anything like that recently?

You're referring to an Athame.

It's a ceremonial dagger commonly used
in neo-pagan witchcraft traditions.

This didn't come from my shop.

- How can you tell?
- Because this is a specialty item.

And it's definitely not Wiccan.

It's a little hard to make out,

but this here
is the Hebrew letter Tav.

It appears in a pentagram known
as the Mendes Pentacle

or Satanic goat's head.

I'm sorry. Did you just say goat?

Yes. The Sabbatic Goat is a popular
image in Satanism and black magic.

Here, let me show you.

Woo! Welcome to my party!

Throwing a party
or remaking Caligula?

Yeah, it's pretty epic, right?

Do you remember
what Lisa was wearing?

Oh, vividly. Sexy nurse's outfit.

- Whoa.
- There. That's her. That's Lisa.

Dracula's getting pretty handsy.

I knew I shouldn't have
invited Lucas.

Who's Lucas?

He's like the Chuck Norris
of biddy-slayers.

He just kills it with the ladies.

Just-- Sorry,
that's a poor choice of words.

Lucas is a solid guy,
wouldn't hurt a fly.

He might, however,
try to have sex with it, though.

Looks like he's doing pretty good,
about to close the deal.

Hold on.

You see that? Right there.

- Him I did not invite.
- That's it.

Explains the goat hair from the car,
that's our guy.

That's the guy.

He followed them out.

Okay, if Lucas left with Lisa,
we may have a second victim.

Please!

Please, please, don't hurt me!

Come on!

Hey, you hear me?

Hey, I'm talking to you!

I don't even know you!
What are you doing?

Please, man! Don't kill me, man!

Please! Come on, man,
I'll do anything you want.

Tiny bubbles

Please, don't.

Make me warm all over

Don't kill me!
I didn't do anything!

Please don't hurt me! Oh, God!

According to Lucas' roommates,
he never made it home.

Have Chin and Kono call in
a missing persons report.

Tell them to get a description
to every hospital.

We should call the county morgue.
This nutjob butchered Lisa for fun.

There's a good chance he'll
do the same to his second victim.

Is it 5 already?

Yeah, it is.

I've hardly seen you all day.

I have had a lot of work to do.

You're out of heparin.

Uh-oh. Which one is that?

The yellow one. For your heart.

I'll go get it right now.

I don't wanna take you away
from your work, honey.

Well, as long as you're going out...

why don't you pick up
some ice cream?

- Mint chip?
- You can take the car.

And if you can find my purse,
there's some money in it.

Okay.

- Any news?
- Still no word on Lucas Hayes.

The video wasn't much help.

All we've determined is that the killer's
roughly 5'10" and Caucasian.

He appears to have a deep fascination
with the imagery of the Sabbatic Goat.

That's a pagan god that's associated
with Satanism and black magic.

That thing's got boobs.

- That's your takeaway?
- Huh?

Danny's right. Everything we've read
about the Sabbatic Goat

says that it symbolizes
the duality of nature.

So heaven and hell,
night and day, man and woman.

It's why our killer targeted
Lisa and Lucas.

He needs both a male
and a female victim.

Why didn't he kill Lucas
and dump the body with Lisa?

I think there's a reason
why Lucas hasn't turned up.

I mean, you said yourself,

it's no accident
this happened on Halloween.

Well, the roots of Halloween trace back
to a pagan festival called Samhain,

where the worshippers celebrated
by building bonfires,

making offerings to their gods.

The first sacrifice
was on October 31st.

And the second one was just before
midnight

the following day, November 1st.

That's today. So until midnight hits,
there's a chance Lucas is alive.

- That doesn't give us much time.
- Our killer might have done this before.

We looked into all the homicides
during Halloween

over the past ten years.

None of them match our killer's M.O.

I'm assuming this guy didn't wake up
all of a sudden,

and just decide to sacrifice two people
to his goat god.

Serial killers, they start small.

- Like with animals.
- Yes.

Look for animal cruelty cases
within the same time frame.

Okay, we got something.

October of last year,

a farmer found two of his boars
tortured and eviscerated.

H.P.D. charged a guy
named Seth Tilton,

except the case was dropped
due to lack of evidence.

No priors.
He's got a sealed juvenile record.

His parents tried to have him committed
to a psych ward when he was a kid.

The grandmother, Helen Tilton,
she petitioned for custody and won.

- Got a current address for this kid?
- He still lives with the grandmother.

That's not a good sign. Let's go.

Come on.

- Where is he?
- Aah! Who?

Who? The freak that's been keeping me
in the cage, that's who!

I don't know who you are,
but take whatever you want and go.

What are you, his grandmother?

Where's the phone?
I'm calling the police.

In the kitchen.

911, what's your emergency?

Please, you've gotta send
the police. I'm being-- Aah!

Sir, are you still there?

Can you hear me?

Are you still there, sir?

Sir, please tell me your location.

- Kono, what's up?
- A 911 call from Seth Tilton's house.

- What for?
- It was a dropped call.

And there was no answer
on the callback.

All right, we're on our way.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.
I should have been more careful.

Please don't be mad at me. Please.

I'm tired
of cleaning up your messes.

- Take care of this.
- Yes, Nana.

What are you doing?

Put the ice cream in the freezer
before it melts.

Run back!

Where's Seth?

Where's Seth?
Where did he take Lucas?

- Nothing out back.
- Clear.

Go upstairs.

Come on, let's go.

I'm gonna ask you again.

A 911 call was made from this house.

What happened here?

- You find anything?
- Yeah. But they're both gone.

Helen. Listen to me, okay?

We have to find Seth

before he hurts somebody else
or hurts himself.

I can't lose my grandson.

It's never gonna be
the way it was, okay?

It can't--
It can't ever go back to that.

But your choice right now, Helen,
is whether or not you wanna help Seth.

You wanna help Seth?

My sister owns a house in Makaha.

I told him to go hide there.

Oh, please.

Don't hurt him, please.

Take her in.

This is Officer Wahl. I've got a woman
in custody going into cardiac arrest.

I need an ambulance
at the intersection of Glen and Nichols.

Ma'am?

Ma'am, can you hear me, ma'am?

Ma'am? Ma'am?
Can you hear me?

- Hello?
- Seth.

It's your grandmother.

Nana, is everything okay?

Listen to me.
The police came to the house.

They know about you.
They know about everything.

- Where are you calling me from?
- It doesn't matter.

What matters is you can't come home.

Not tonight, not ever again.

Nana, who's gonna take care of you?

I'll be fine.

You've gotta take care
of yourself now.

You hear me?

Nana...

I know.

Okay, thanks. Yeah.

That was H.P.D. dispatch.

The cop bringing in the grandmother
just called in for an ambulance.

What happened?

We just got played.

We got an officer down,
but we can't move in.

- What do you mean? Why not?
- Suspect's still armed.

Helen?

It's Commander McGarrett.

Why don't you
throw the gun out of the car,

and put your hands behind your head?

I'm gonna come up and we'll talk.

Helen?

He's dead.

Last call was made
a couple of minutes ago.

She was never gonna
turn in her grandson.

She was just buying time
so she could warn him.

Yeah, but she may have
just helped us.

I ran the last number Helen dialed.
It was Seth's cell.

- Can you triangulate his location?
- I can't tell you where he is

but the last call came in
off a cell tower on Pupukea Ridge.

What the hell's he doing up there?

He's completing the sacrifice.

There's a luakini heiau
just north of Pupukea Ridge.

It's a site where ancient Hawaiians
used to make blood offerings.

The altar they used is still up there.

If Seth is trying
to complete his sacrifice,

that's the ideal spot to do it.

Hey, you're all right, buddy,
you're all right, okay?

Oh, my God.

Andy! Hurry up! He's right behind you!

Little bastard!

I'm sorry, am I distracting you?

What? Come on.
What are you talking about?

You can't get away from me!

- Wait.
- What?

You've never seen the ending
of this film, have you?

What? I mean, come on...

Are you serious?

I don't wanna miss
what happens next.

- Hello. Hey.
- Hey.

- Trick or treat!
- Trick or treat?

- What is this?
- I missed trick-or-treating with Danno.

Oh, this is like a do-over? Okay.

Bumblebee.

Um...

- What are you?
- I am a superhero.

Which one?

The one with the red cape.

You gonna ask questions,
or are you gonna give us candy?

I don't have any candy.
We ate it all, okay?

I got some, uh, goji berry energy bars.

No, we were just about to
watch another movie.

You guys
ever heard oi The Notebook?

- I love The Notebook!
- Yeah? Come on over.

There we go.

I'm gonna keep my cape on for this film,
in case I gotta fly out of here.

What's The Notebook?

You're gonna hate it.

It can't be that bad.

Well, it can't be that bad, right?

Want some popcorn?

Hmm?

Okay.
