Where's my father?

They're taking him
into surgery now.



Is it bad?

John, what the
hell happened?

I spoke to first-on-scene.

They said it was an apparent
convenience store robbery.

Your, uh...
your dad was off duty

when he confronted
the gunman.

Did we get anything
from the store owner?

Not much.

He was on the floor when it all
went down, but it looks like

the perp shot your dad
in cold blood.

Hey, hey, hey.

Kam Tong Kelly
is the toughest man I know.

He's gonna pull
through this.

I need to see him.



For the record,

can you identify
who was with you that night,

Lieutenant Kelly?

My senior partner John McGarrett

and ER trauma specialist
Malia Waincroft.

And your relationship
to Dr. Waincroft?

We were dating
at the time, but...

she later became my wife.

I understand that your father
didn't make it through surgery,

is that correct?

Do you need a moment,
Lieutenant?

No, I'm fine.

Let's just get this over with.

You said the identity

of the shooter was unknown
to you at that time.

Is that still correct?
Yes, sir.

So it wasn't
until recently

that you confirmed the identity
of your father's killer.

That's right.

I already told you all this.

It doesn't matter.

You're being investigated
for covering up a homicide.

As a matter of fact,

you've been investigated
by Internal Affairs before,

haven't you, Lieutenant?

Yes.

Then you know that we've been

granted oversight and are
invoking the Garrity Rule,

which requires you
to answer all of our questions,

whether you think
this is a waste of time or not.

Is that clear?

Very.

Lieutenant,

can we talk about
how the identity

of your father's murderer

became known to you?

Yeah.

Uh, we caught a case
five days ago.

There was a DB in a warehouse
on Sand Island.

You ever seen
anything like this?

Never.

Max, what'd they use
to torture this guy?

Uh, well, given the
pinhead-sized singe marks,

I'd say the implement that was
used was an acetylene torch.

So the cause
of death is what?

Shock. Most likely
from being repeatedly burned

at 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

So he was cooked
to death.

Based on the physical
morphology of the injuries,

I'd estimate several hours
of systematic torture.

Something like this--

might be cartel-related.

Drugs, money,
murder for hire.

If that's the case,
whoever ordered this

is a major player
in that world.

Turns out,
your instinct was right.

Were you able
to ascertain

the name of this so-called
major player?

Yes. During the course
of our investigation.

And for the record,

can you identity
the suspect?

Gabriel Waincroft.

Is this man

Gabriel Waincroft?

Yeah.

Let the record show

Lieutenant Kelly identified,
uh, the suspect

from case evidence photo
13-176424.

Also for the record,

would you state your
relationship with Mr. Waincroft.

He's my brother-in-law.

Hey.

I spoke to Steve today.

He's thinking
about becoming a Navy SEAL.

I mean, it's kind of a relief.

I thought sure
he'd want to be a cop.

How's your mom doing?

About as good
as can be expected.

Why don't you
take a few days?

You know?
Be there for her...

Yeah, thanks,
but I already offered.

Moms can be
stubborn like that.

Yeah.

If she needs anything,
don't be shy.

Malia.

Hi.

Um, sorry to barge in on you...

No, sit down.

Have some coffee.

I wish I could.

Chin, could I see you
for a moment?

Yeah, sure.

Oh...

Ah, ah. Hey.
Forget about it.

Thanks.

I hate coming to you with this,

especially now,

but you know
my brother.

He's a good kid.

What did he do?

They say he stole a car.

HPD brought him in
about an hour ago,

but they haven't
processed him yet.

I just spoke to him,

and he sounds
really scared.

Yeah, I'll bet he is.

If they book Gabriel,

that record's going to follow
him the rest of his life.

All right. All right.

I'll, uh...
I'll see what I can do.

So what did you do?

How about I tell you
what you did?

You persuaded the complainant
not to press charges,

got a withdrawal
complaint signed,

killing the case

Gabriel was a kid.

Weren't you
a kid once?

Lieutenant Kelly, Gabriel
Waincroft was 18 years old.

That's no kid. He stole a car.

We call that grand larceny,
and you,

as a sworn officer
of the law, ignored that.

You got a history
of covering for family members

who break the law,
don't you, Lieutenant?

What's that
supposed to mean?

Your uncle stole drug money
from a police evidence locker,

and you kept that
quiet for years.

I don't see how that's relevant.
Seems to be

part of a pattern; I think
that's more than relevant.

That's exactly the reason
why we're here to

to find out what you knew
and when you knew it,

and if there was a cover-up.

Gabriel had never been
in trouble before.

Not for anything.

I figured if I could
just set him straight,

he wouldn't do anything
like this again.

Well, I guess you figured wrong.

What the hell were you thinking?

I don't know.

That's not an answer.

I'm sorry.

We were just goofing around.

Goofing around.

You know you could be
in jail right now?

What, you got someplace
you got to be?

I'm cool.

Just 'cause I'm in
the picture doesn't mean

you have a "get out of
jail free" card, okay?

This is a one-time thing.

The next time, you are
on your own. You hear me?

I didn't ask
for your help.

No, but your sister did.

And after everything
she's done for you,

you owe it to her
to keep your nose clean.

You broke her heart, Gabriel.

I'm sorry.

Those are words,
brother, just words.

You really want
to make it right?

You get a job.

You show your family

you got something to offer
besides heartache.

I hear Rainbow is hiring.

What, pushing loco moco
to haole tourists?

No way.

What, you got bigger plans,
is that it?

Maybe.

You messed up,
Lieutenant.

Yeah, I heard you.

By letting
that kid go,

you sent a message
that he was bulletproof.

And that created
a monster--

a monster that's left
a trail of blood

from here to Sinaloa.

What I don't get is how
you could let that happen.

You were a cop,

and yet you let that kid
manipulate you from day one.

How come
you couldn't see that?

Maybe you couldn't
see it coming

'cause you were rolling around
in bed with his sister.

Say something else
about my wife.

Take a swing
or sit your ass back down.

Go to hell.

Hey. Chin, this is
what they do.

Try to get
under your skin.

- Well, it's working.
- Hey.

You got to take
the personal out of it.

How the hell am I
supposed to do that?

There's no way not
to make that personal!

Chin, stop.

This is the game.

They put you
to the test,

and you're gonna
pass that test,

but you got to answer
their questions,

and you got to
answer them straight,

take all the emotion
out, okay?

What if I was wrong?

What are you talking about?

I was in love with Malia.

Maybe my judgment
was clouded.

Maybe I just
didn't want

to believe that her brother
was capable of murder!

I understand
you have a DB down there

by the name of Amos Koi.

Yeah, that's right.
He was burned to death.

What's DEA's interest in it?

We believe he's been working
as a pilot for hire

for some Pacific Rim
drug smugglers.

Any gang in particular?

The Culiacan Cartel
out of Sinaloa, Mexico.

Okay, so maybe Koi
wronged his bosses.

Uh, he ripped them off
and then paid the price.

That's certainly
a viable theory,

considering the cartel boss
arrived on your island

three days ago.

Who is he?

I'm putting up a photo now.

Agent Branch, are you sure
this man is the boss?

Yeah, he's definitely our man.

Chin, what's the matter?

You know this guy?

Yeah, his name
is Gabriel Waincroft.

He's Malia's brother.

What's this about?

You insult my wife again,
you might as well keep it

for what I'm gonna do to you.

I'll take that
under advisement.

Now, where were we?

In Ecclesiastes, we're told

to everything
there is a season.

A time to every
purpose under heaven.

Time to be born.

Time to die.

Time to laugh.

Time to weep.

This is one such time.

Kam Tong Kelly was
the best man I ever knew.

His love of life

was exceeded only
by his love of family,

which everyone here today
was a member.

A life full of commendations
and awards

meant nothing to him
compared to the pride

that he felt when his eldest son,

Chin Ho, enrolled in
the police academy.

It is through him

that Kam Tong's
legacy continues.

A legacy that embraces all of us

who were lucky enough
to have known him.

Attention!

Excuse me.

Hey.

I'm so sorry.

Mahalo.

I'm here for you, cuz.

If there's anything you need.

Win Bali.

Dad loved watching you surf.

Uncle was a very special man.

All right, guys,
let's move out.

Excuse me, Kono.

Okay.
John?

What's going on?

The crime lab just got
a case-to-case hit

on the gun used
to kill your dad.

Suspect's name is Ronald Palau.

He was questioned
last year in a homicide.

Where is he?

Pearl City.

I want to be first
through the door.

Whoa, Chin.

I'm under orders
to keep you out of this.

I don't give a damn
what the bosses want.

No way I'm standing down.

Kind of figured
you'd say that.

Come on.

Police! Get on the ground!

I said get on the ground!

Show your hands!

Easy, brah.

Hands, you son of a bitch.

Sergeant McGarrett
told you to stand down.

Is that correct?
Yes.

And he was relaying a direct
order from HPD command.

You were told not
to participate in any aspect

of your father's
murder investigation.

That's right.

But I don't know any cop

who wouldn't have done
the same thing.

This was my father
we're talking about.

Mm-hmm.

That house that you hit--

you never found the man
who murdered your father,

did you?

No.

Ronald Palau owned the gun,

but it turns out his son sold it
without telling him.

Name?

Harold Palau.

Did you ever find
the man who bought

the weapon from Harold Palau?

No, Harold was
a meth tweeker.

He wasn't gonna give us a name.

Also, it was a cash transaction.

There was nothing to trace.

We hit a dead end.

But that wasn't the end of it,
was it, Lieutenant?

No, a couple weeks later,
we caught a break.

Found the murder weapon in
a storm drain in Waikiki.

Managed to pull
one viable print,

crime lab ran it,
and we got a hit.

Hey, pig,
private party!

That's my invite.

Where is he?!

You're not gonna

kick that one down.

Let me borrow that.

On your knees!

Okay, okay!
On your knees!

Don't shoot.

On your knees, now!
Hands behind your back.

I'm sure you've
done this before.

I got to get me one of these.

So as far
as you were concerned,

you had your killer.

Well, that's
what we thought.

But when we took
the picture down

to the convenience store owner,
he said that Luna was not

the man who murdered my father.

I understand the store owner
was in the hospital

when you went for the I.D.

Is that correct?

Yeah, he, uh...

suffered a stroke
after the robbery.

He had some aphasia
and memory loss,

but he was pretty adamant
that Luna wasn't the guy.

Yet, you had Teddy Luna's prints
on the weapon.

Luna admitted
to handling the weapon,

but denied knowing anything
about the murder.

Did you believe him?

Doesn't matter what I believed.

We charged him with criminal
possession of a weapon.

He made bail, took a plea
and walked with no jail time.

You just let him go?

We had no choice!

But without Teddy Luna,

you-you never would've I.D.'d
your father's killer.

Yeah.

Luna did inadvertently
provide us with a clue,

but we were never able
to get anywhere with it.

Can you elaborate on that?

Okay.

So after Luna
was released,

John McGarrett and I
started investigating

his known associates.

I recognize this one.

That's Luna's cousin
on his father's side.

He snitched for
me in the past.

Where can we find him?

He used to work the door
at a gentlemen's club

on Kapiolani.

Hey.

Hey, cuz.
Hey, Kono.

Uh, you okay?

I've been
looking for you.

Yeah, just been busy.

Yeah, I see.
Any luck?

Yeah, we're getting there.

Hey, hey, hey.

You can have a sip
when you're 21.

Nice try, kid.

Hey, who's that guy?

Him?

Small time loser
named Teddy Luna.

Hangs with a local gang.

Huh.

Kono, you see something?
Yeah, his tat.

Um, Malia's brother just
got the same exact one.

Gabriel?

Yeah.
Are you sure?

Yeah, we were surfing Rock
Piles yesterday, I saw it.

That's a gang tattoo.

Could be Gabriel was
recently initiated.

Question is:
what did he do to earn it?

Chin, hey. What's up?

What the hell, dude?!

Take off your rash guard!
What?

You heard me.

How did you get that?

What do you mean?

You know what I mean!

What did you do
to earn it?!

Nothing, man. It's just ink.

Don't you lie to me!

You don't get to wear that

unless you prove yourself.

So I'm gonna ask you
one last time.

What did you do to
earn that tattoo?

What was his answer?

He denied any gang involvement.

Said he got the tattoo
to impress a girl.

Did you believe him?

No.

You were aware at that time the
description the store owner gave

to police didn't match
your suspect Luna.

It did, however, resemble
your brother-in-law.

The description given
to HPD was rough.

Rough or not,

the I.D. gave you reason
to come down hard on Gabriel.

Isn't that right?

Yeah. There was no way
to be sure.

So, how did you follow up?

I took Gabriel's picture

to the store owner
in the hospital.

Unfortunately, he passed away

the night before.

Oh. So you were never able
to ask him

if your brother-in-law was the
man who murdered your father?

That's right.

And you had nothing

that would tie Gabriel Waincroft
to the gun?

Nothing.

So, in other words,
that was the end of your case?

Over the years,
we followed up

on a lead or two,
but nothing ever came of it.

But you always
suspected

that Gabriel Waincroft
was guilty, didn't you?

He had an alibi,
and it checked out.

And there was
never any evidence

linking him
directly to the crime.

Deep down inside,
you had to believe

he was involved, didn't you?

Okay, let's take
your wife out of the equation

for a moment, okay?

I want you to think very
carefully before you answer.

Did you or did you not suspect

that Gabriel Waincroft
was the man

who killed your father,
Kam Tong Kelly?

As I said, he was
thoroughly investigated.

That's not the question.
You're being too cute by half.

I did my job!
Quit that damn gymnastics!

Answer me!

You thought Gabriel Waincroft
killed your father?

Yes.

If Gabriel murdered
Chin's father,

why would Chin cover that up?

Chin was in love.

Love is like
temporary insanity.

We do things
we'd normally never do,

like, uh, disregard
our sworn duty,

or align ourselves with people
who used to be our enemies.

You can understand that,
can't you, Officer Kalakaua?

Any comment?

Turn off the video camera,
I'll give you a quote.

Uh, continuing on.

You said earlier Chin Ho

never told you he suspected

his brother-in-law
in killing his father?

That's right.

You two are cousins,
that true?

We are.

So you expect us
to believe

that he carried around
that suspicion all this time

and never mentioned it to you?

I don't really care
what you believe.

It's the truth.

Officer Kalakaua,
you are on the record.

Please remember that.

Well, then let the record show
that this is bull,

because you have Chin Ho
in the crosshairs,

and you're gonna twist whatever
I say to suit your agenda,

so I don't even know why
I'm wasting my time.

Officer Kalakaua,
let me remind you

that your immunity and means
doesn't effect this proceeding.

Even the governor
can't help you now.

So I would suggest

you stow your attitude
and sit back down.

We're not even close
to being done.

Please.

No, Chin Ho Kelly, uh,
never went into detail

about his father's murder.

But that's...
that's the type of man he is.

He doesn't want to burden
anybody with his troubles.

But this was his father
we're talking about.

Of all people, Commander,

you could understand
wanting closure.

What did you say?

You heard what I said.

Nice try.
You're way out of line.

I'm out of line?

One of your men let a killer
run free for 15 years.

Suspecting and proving murder
are two very different things.

Now, if you two
have got any evidence

that you can back up
these claims

you have against Chin Ho Kelly

about him subverting the law,
I'd like to see it.

That's the point of
this investigation, Commander.

If there was evidence,
we believe

Chin Ho made it disappear
to protect his family.

Gabriel was nowhere near
as important

to Chin Ho as his own father.

That might have been true.

But the old man was dead,

and there was nothing
Chin Ho could do about that,

except circle the wagons
and protect his family.

And from everything
we know about your unit,

family comes first.

You implying
that I'm hiding something now?

Is that what you're saying,
that this is a big cover-up?

Look, we're all cops here.

We know how this works.

You have each other's backs,
right?

But something like this--
you turn your back on a murder

and letting that suspect grow

into an even more
dangerous sociopath--

that violates
the code of silence.

You got that?

If I knew
for one second

that Chin Ho did
what you two are saying he did,

I would have been the first one
to book him.

You know what I'm going
to say, don't you?

Yeah, that you want to pull me
off, that I'm too close.

That's S.O.P., Chin.

Since when do you
follow procedure?

I trust you, Chin.

You know that.

But I got to ask you this.

Did you ever have any idea

what Gabriel was up to
this whole time?

Steve, if you trust me,
you already know the answer.

So, what you're saying is,
you had no idea

that you gave a free ride
to the kid

who would become a ruthless
cartel drug lord?

Look, all I knew was

that two years
after my father died,

Gabriel told Malia
that he was leaving

to take a construction job
on the mainland.

Either you or your wife
have any contact

with Gabriel after that?

Malia stayed in contact with him
for a few years,

but over time, it was just
too hard to get ahold of him.

So you're telling us

you neither saw nor heard
from him after he left

for this so-called job
off the island?

Yes, that's what
I'm telling you.

Take a look at that.

Tell me what it is.

Looks like phone records.

Be more specific.

Calls from my home line.

That's right.

And as you can see,

there were more than 20 calls
to a party in the 667 area code.

Where is that,

Lieutenant,
the 667 area code?

I have no idea.

Culiacan, Mexico.

Maybe you want
to rethink your answer.

You know, these call dates--
they're all from the time

that Malia and I
were living together.

That's a very convenient answer,

and I guess lucky for you
that she can't confirm it.

Something you want to add
to the record,

Lieutenant?

Malia knew
how I felt about her brother.

If she really was
in contact with him,

she would have been smart
not to tell me.

So what you're telling us
is that your wife

wanted to spare you the grief
of knowing

that her brother
was an up-and-coming,

drug-dealing, murderous thug.

If she knew
what Gabriel was doing,

you can be damn sure she would
have told me about that

and then cut off communication
with him immediately!

But she didn't, did she?

I already told you,
she never said anything!

I never saw, heard from,

or even thought about Gabriel
Waincroft until five days ago!

For the damn record.

Duly noted.

Tell us how you found Gabriel,
Lieutenant.

Once we identified the warehouse
victim as Amos Koi,

we went to his house.

It had been tossed, and his wife
and kid were missing.

We later tracked them down

to a farmhouse near
Kualoa Valley.

Hey, it's okay.
It's okay.

Hey, hey,
we're the good guys.

You all right?

I'm gonna cut
these ropes.

Where's your mom?

Some guy took her.

Okay. Where?

Do you see
where we are?

Yes.

Okay, good.

Now, what I want you
to do is real simple.

Just walk into the bank like
you're a normal customer,

get my money from your husband's
safety-deposit box,

and bring it back to me.

It's easy, right?

If there's a penny less
than the $2 million

your husband
stole from me,

I will call my friends

and your son dies,
you understand?

I understand.

I want to show you
something.

You open your mouth
to anyone--

the bank guards, a teller,

even the guy you're standing
behind in line...

...and your son will look
just like that.

So, according to Mrs. Koi,

she went into the bank,

took the money
from the safety-deposit box.

That's what we learned as well.

But before she could
return it

to Gabriel, he was confronted
by the police.

Yeah. When we got there,
she was on her way out,

but we couldn't implement
a tactical plan

because Gabriel made us.

Gun!

Gabriel!

Hold it right there!

Where do you think
you're going?!

I'm bleeding.

I can see that.

You gonna call an ambulance?
What I should do

is throw you off
this damn roof!

And I should do the same to you
for not protecting my sister.

Because of you, she's dead.

You murdered my father,
you son of a bitch.

Tell me why!

Why?!

Wrong place, wrong time.

Do it.

Man up, bro,
if you want to ride with us.

Come on, mark,
you jumping in or what?

Give me that.

And it's another
great save by Oahu State...

Open that register, old man,
and give me the money now!

...commanding lead
has come and gone.

Here's a chance for
Oahu State...

Open it!
Faster! Come on!

...as Varner steps
up to the line.

The ball's served.
Easy return.

Ausbrook up to spike it.

And it's
a punishing kill by Oahu!

Gabriel?

No one
even had a hand on that.

What are you doing?

...and this crowd
is on their feet!

Varner's back to the line.

Here comes the serve.

Spike returned and a miss hit
by Ausbrook.

But Varner's there
to pick it up!

Sets... and Blanders attacks!

I didn't have a choice.

You could have put the gun down.

And gone to jail?

No way.

I don't do time.

Well, you do now.

Wait! I got $25 million in
an overseas bank account.

It's yours. All you got to do is
just turn around and walk away.

$25 million!

That's more money than
you'll ever see

in ten lifetimes
as a cop.

What do you say, huh?

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will
be held against you.

You have the right
to an attorney.

If you cannot afford
an attorney,

one will be appointed
for you.

Are you saying you weren't
tempted to take that money...

even a little bit?

I'm gonna pretend
you never asked me that.

Hey, pretend
all you want,

but that money, $25 million,
was never recovered.

Answer the question, Lieutenant.

We're done.
Fine.

Any more questions,
we'll be in touch.

Lieutenant...

What?

You've had quite a bit
of bad luck, haven't you?

You say you're
a good cop,

but trouble always seems
to find you somehow.

You got something more
you want to say to me,

you say it,
or shut the hell up.

I'll catch you later.

Commander,
we're ready for you.

Sorry.

That's mine.

I'm Malia.

Hi.

I'm Chin Ho Kelly.

So... what do you do,
Chin Ho Kelly?

I'm a cop.

Uh, I'm gonna be a cop.

I'm in the academy.

I'll bet you'll look really cute
in uniform.

So, can I have
my board back now?

Not unless you let me
take you to dinner.

You can keep it.

Wait, what?

I'm sure I'll see you around.

Nice to meet you,
Chin Ho Kelly!
