Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 5, Episode 4 - Ka No'eau - full transcript

Five-0 deals with a mob contract killer who has literally and figuratively had a change of heart. Danny finds his brother's money but is short five and a half million dollars, and his brother's life may be in the balance.

Previously On Hawaii Five-0

What are you doing in my house?
Who are you?

I'm Marco Reyes.

When your brother disappeared,

he was in possession of
a significant amount my money.

- Okay. How much money?
- Eighteen and a half million dollars.

You have until Monday
to bring my money to this address.

What happens
if I don't bring you the money?

You'll get a package
with your brother's head in it.

Matt gets on that plane.

Not a single piece of luggage.



He's supposed to have
18 and a half million dollars.

- If that's the case, then it's here.
- How you supposed to find it?

About a month after he disappeared,
he sent me a postcard.

Yeah? Did it mention the money?

No, he didn't.
He just wrote, "Wish you were here."

A picture of this remote area on Oahu

with a rock formation
and a couple of palm trees.

Danny!

- Hey, Danny?
- In here.

Whoa.

You were right.

Yeah. Um, except for the fact that
Reyes said that Matty owed him

18-and-a-half million dollars.
You see, this is only 13 million dollars.

- Are you sure?
- Yes, I am positive,



I counted it three times.

So Matty must have taken
some to help himself disappear.

Yeah. And now I am
five-and-a-half million dollars short.

And I have two days to
come up with all of it,

or, urn, my brother's dead.

Hey, I'm here to see Ko.

- He doesn't like talking to cops.
- I understand.

I'm not here as a cop, though.

- Okay. That's it.
- Hey, there.

I'll get back to you.

What is he doing here?

I, uh... I need a favor.

Hey.

Listen, Steve told me
about the money.

I figured you'd come here first.

- Well, he turned me down.
- Danny, that's a good thing.

The last thing you want in this world
is to owe a man like Ko.

If it meant saving my brother,
I'd go for it, you know?

I hear that. But there are other ways.

Really? I'm short
five and a half million dollars.

- I really don't see any other ways.
- I may have one.

Aloha and welcome

to Honolulu International Airport.

Please proceed to baggage
claim to collect all checked bags.

We hope you enjoy a wonderful
stay in our island paradise.

Mahalo.

Excuse me, Mr. Bristol?
Gordon Bristol?

- I'm Gordon Bristol.
- Sir, can you please come with us?

What's going on?
Have I done something wrong?

Why did you come
to Hawaii, Mr. Bristol?

Why does anyone come to Hawaii?
See the ocean, work on my tan.

- Is that a problem?
- Is this your bag, sir?

Yes.

Mr. Bristol, we randomly search
luggage for security reasons

and your bag came to our attention.

Would you like to explain why
you were transporting a weapon

onto the island of Oahu?

There's been a mistake.

I have never seen that before
in my life. I don't even own a gun.

Mr. Bristol, illegal transportation
of an unregistered firearm,

as well as being in possession
of a sound suppressor

are felonies in the state of Hawaii,

as well as being a violation
of federal statutes.

I'm afraid we're gonna
be detaining you,

pending federal arrest.
Please stand up,

place your hands behind your back.

What a match.
I am surprised we came back to win.

All right.

Coconut shrimp.

- Sweet and sour sauce?
- All you can dip.

From the ocean to the deep fryer
to your sophisticated palate.

I am most pleased that our midfielders

played with aggression.

Surveillance suspect
sounds like a robot.

That's a computer program.

The guy in the bookstore is speaking
German and I don't speak German.

It is also fortuitous
that the keeper cleared the foot

to prevent the equalizer
from drinking.

And your robot needs
to work on its English.

So I take it there's been no chatter
about the counterfeiting?

No, just a bunch
of talk about soccer.

But I'm convinced our
guy's gonna broker a deal

with the German to unload his
counterfeit money any day now.

Or maybe they just like soccer.

You know, in other countries,
they call it football?

Doesn't seem right.

Trust me, he's just luring his buyer
with a mutual affection for sports.

Laying the groundwork
for the deal.

When he makes it, I'll be listening.

So I take it you're gonna
need more shrimp.

I'll just throw it on your tab.

In my experience, the key to
surveillance is patience and stamina.

- Your experience?
- Trust me.

It's only a matter of time before
he slips up and proves me right.

Got a real mess in there.

Our suspect is traveling
under the name Gordon Bristol.

That's an alias.

We know that he boarded
the red eye from Detroit last night.

His luggage gets flagged
because of this.

Beretta 92FS, with an extra 15-round
clip and a cobra sound suppressor.

That's not exactly a sportsman's gun.

Where is Bristol now?
What happened?

Oh, he escaped.

But not before he took down five guys
in the TSA holding room.

- Five guys?
- Took down five guys by himself?

With his bare hands.

All right, Lou, listen to me,
contact Detroit P.D.

Let's get them prints,
surveillance photos,

whatever we can of this guy,
see if they can tell us who he really is.

All right, you got it.

Gas must be cheap these days
because this is the second time

that you've come
out here for nothing.

I'm not here
about my problem with IA.

Right.

Because if you were,
you'd be on your knees,

begging me to tell them
you didn't take my bribe.

If the truth still matters,
I've got nothing to worry about.

Good luck with that.

Looks like you've been having
trouble making friends in here.

- I got enough friends on the outside.
- So do I.

I'm here about one of them.

Let me guess.
This pal of yours is in trouble.

Needs some sort of financial
assistance.

This isn't for me.
And there's a clock on this.

He's almost out of options.

How much help
does your friend need?

Five and a half million dollars' worth.

Oh, is that all?
And if the money isn't there?

My friend's brother dies.

Tell your friend I'll give him 500
for a black suit.

We're done here.

Guy's real name is Stegner,
first name Joseph, 38 years old.

No known employment history
outside the construction business.

He owns a house
in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

Tony little suburb outside of Detroit.

This guy lives pretty high
on the hog for somebody

who supposedly spent his whole
life swinging a hammer.

- Got a criminal record?
- Well, according to Detroit P.D.,

Stegner's name's been connected

to a few beat-downs
and a couple homicides,

the first being a gunned-down
union boss and the second,

a juror who was killed
in a hit-and-run.

Now, Stegner has been brought in
a few times

for questioning on both these murders.
Never charged.

Okay, so organized crime is alive
and well up in the Motor City.

Yes, sir. And according to his jacket,

Stegner is supposed to have close ties
with the Bagosa family.

And what do we know about them?

The Bagosa family
is one of the 24 original crime families.

Most people,
when they think of Detroit,

they think about either cars or being
the murder capital of the country.

The Bagosa family
is one of the most active

crime syndicates in the country.
And that is because of this guy.

Albert Bagosa,
third-generation crime boss.

Rules with an iron fist.

The guy simply
will not tolerate dissent.

So Bagosa sends Stegner
down here to do a job, with his tools.

He gets snagged by
a random bag check,

is detained and then escapes, right?

Right. The question is,
who is the target

and is Stegner still planning
on taking them out?

Hey, security cameras
at the Ward Center

just picked up our suspect.

Well, you gotta
give the guy some credit.

- He ain't scared of much.
- He left the airport in a hurry.

He's probably trying to drain his
accounts before they get shut down.

That ATM
is in the center of the mall.

Kono, use those security cameras
to track him out.

And call H.P.D.,
tell them to secure the perimeter.

- Every street. We're on our way.
- You got it.

Kono, you got him?

He's heading east,
past the movie theaters.

H.P.D. has the perimeter
locked down.

- Hey, I got him. I got him.
- Easy, easy. A lot of collateral.

We've been compromised.

Kono, don't lose him.

He's headed for Ala Moana.

Hold it right there.
Hold it right there.

Don't move!

Get down on the ground!

On your knees,
put your hands behind your head.

Okay, okay.

I don't have him.

Does this make any sense to you?

A contract killer comes into town
to do a piece of work

and then he's the one
who gets taken out.

Could be the intended target
finds out about Stegner,

decides to get preemptive
and gets the jump on him.

If that's the case,
our man is no ordinary mark.

He took out a major bad-ass
from 100 yards away

- and then escaped a police cordon.
- Yeah. Great. So we traded up.

Commander, H.P.D. just found
the suspect's vehicle

abandoned at George Street. Detective
Williams is already on the way.

Go, go ahead. I got this.

- You find anything?
- Look like you hit him.

Hey, Pua?
Have CSU process this vehicle

and get officers searching
every hospital on the island, all right?

Yes, commander.

You think this is the kind of guy
that's gonna go to the hospital?

Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll drop
dead before it's a consideration.

Ugh, I'm starving.

- What did you end up getting?
- Same as usual. Can't go wrong.

I know. I love this place.
It's always so good.

You try the spicy?
Sneaks up on you, right?

Hey, man. It's cool.

- Take it to go.
- All right, take it easy. sir.

- Still no word from Chin?
- No.

You know what, partner?

We can get on a plane right now
and settle this.

You see,
that is why I love you, buddy.

You're always willing to risk both of our
lives at any given moment, huh?

I'll go through the door first

- if it makes you feel better.
- I know you would.

- What's up?
- Danny, I'm sorry.

Look, you're just gonna
have to set new terms.

Go down in a couple days, give Reyes
half the money and then tell him

he'll get the other half
when Matty's released.

That's great. What happens when he
finds out I do not have the other half?

Hm?

That I am five and a half
million dollars short?

And what does he do?
He comes here and he takes Grace?

I can't do that. Okay, this thing ends

and that son of a bitch
gets every penny, okay?

Hey, thank you for trying.

So I ran that blood
you guys found

in your gunman's car
and got a hit.

Meet Nick Mercer.

Michigan authorities say he
is a highly skilled and proficient

contract killer for the Bagosa family.

That's the same
crime family Stegner worked for.

Okay, so we got one hit man
killing another hit man.

What are we looking at here?
Family feud? Personal vendetta?

Maybe Stegner offended
Bagosa in some way,

or there's an internal power struggle
amongst the help.

Or maybe Mercer wanted a contract
that was given to Stegner.

Oh, if you're right, then we need
to identify who the target is.

Unless the job's
already been done.

The man you're looking for

is a ruthless,
stone-cold contract killer.

I've worked organized
crime all over the country,

New York, Chicago, Miami.
Never seen anything like Mercer.

He's a world-class house painter
whose expertise is the white death,

that is, making people disappear.

Mostly jurors, witnesses,
cops trying to do their job,

anyone who can potentially
hurt the Bagosa family.

He's rumored
to have over 100 kills,

and we've never
been able to touch him.

He's that good.
You just know he's been there

because his victims are never
seen or heard from again.

On the street,
they call him Valentine.

- That's cute.
- Why Valentine?

Because people who know him
say he doesn't have a heart.

One hundred kills
means he has a lot of enemies.

Killing Stegner must have put
the Bagosa family at the top of that list.

Unless the hit was sanctioned,

Valentine's going
to have to pay for it.

All right, Agent Chapman,
what have you got

on this man's personal life?

Not much. A surveillance package
was assigned to him

but the judge wouldn't renew
the request

after it yielded
no suspicious activity.

We do know he spent some
time at a hospital recently,

following a car accident

but we can't get
the medical records.

Bagosa brought in his own team
of doctors to perform the surgery.

You said
the accident was recent?

Yeah, two years ago.

After that,
Valentine dropped off the grid,

then presumably returned to work,
never skipping a beat.

This man's efficient.

He doesn't linger,
he doesn't collect trophies.

There's no ego
involved in what he does.

And if he's still on your island,
you can expect some more bodies.

There's too much blood.

I can't even see the bullet,
let alone assess the damage.

If it hit an artery and I extract it,
you could bleed out.

Let us give you
something for the pain.

Do I look like someone
who cares about pain?

She's trying to help.

Focus.

Donna, stabilize this.

You wanna tell me who shot you?
Maybe where it happened?

Anyone you want us to contact?

Look, I can't get to the slug
without a CAT scan or an X-ray.

Let us take you to the hospital.

Straub Clinic is only a
few miles down the road.

We can be there in ten minutes.

Dumb move, slick.

Aah!

We found him. He's on the move.

H.P.D. received a 911 call
and they got a lock

on the ambulance he stole.

I got him. Hold on.

Oh, no. I was hoping
he wouldn't do that.

Punch it. He's getting away.

- I got my foot on the floor here.
- Seriously?

Seriously. All right, you know what?
Let's get something straight, Chicago.

I don't like it when Danny criticizes
my driving, same for you.

- You got it?
- Would you relax your giggle hole?

- My what?
- Listen. It's not a criticism.

I think you drive fine. I'm just saying,

I think the Camaro would come
in handy right about now.

You don't say.

He's slowing down.

What the hell's he doing?

Hands! Let me see your hands!

Moving.

Get out of the vehicle right now!

- He's lost a lot of blood.
- Call an ambulance.

Isn't this ironic?

How you doing?

I'm Lieutenant Commander
Steve McGarrett, Five-0.

This is Lieutenant Kelly,
Captain Grover.

Now we know
who you are, Valentine.

And we also know that you
work for Albert Bagosa.

See, the thing we can't figure out
is, uh, why you would kill

your associate Joseph Stegner.

- Was it business or was it personal?
- A little of both.

Well, you could've whacked
Stegner back in Detroit,

saved yourself the airfare.

Why fly all the way out here to do it?

Have you ever been
to Detroit in the wintertime?

Yeah. Walked right into that one.

All right, how many more people
on your list?

I'm not here to kill anyone.
I'm here to protect people.

What people?

The ones Bagosa hired me
to take out.

That doesn't make any sense.

So you expect us to believe
that you didn't fulfill those contracts?

If you wanted the truth, that's it.

All right. Why the change of heart?

Sometimes things happen

that change a person's
perspective on life.

Well, that's some deep, soulful stuff

for a man who's killed
over a hundred people.

Two years ago,
middle of a thunderstorm,

I got into a head-on with a moving van
with bad brakes.

Doctors said I suffered
a traumatic ventricular failure.

That there was 100 percent certainty
I would die if I didn't get a new heart.

Okay, how'd you get
to the top of the list?

You gentlemen forget
who I work for.

Man like Albert Bagosa
doesn't get wait-listed.

I needed a new heart.
He got me one.

Not that he had
any great affection for me.

He just needed me
to get back to work.

I was told that my heart belonged
to a very special young man.

He taught at about
the worst school in the city.

Served meals
at the local soup kitchen.

Built houses for the homeless
during his summer break.

Then one day, this solid citizen,
this man who lived

to make a difference,

got hit by a drunk driver
while crossing the street.

And it was the luckiest thing
that ever happened to me.

Because I got a piece of him.

After that, things changed.

Went about my business
the way I always done it.

But when it came
to the moment of truth,

couldn't go through with it.

Just couldn't pull the trigger.

And it kept happening
contract after contract.

Something happened
when I got that new heart.

I began thinking of the people
I was asked to kill.

Their loved ones. Their families.

What did they do to deserve me?

Okay. Well, if your story's true,

that can't have made
Mr. Bagosa happy.

I never told Bagosa.

Every contract I got,
I pretended to fill it.

So, what about all the people
you're supposed to kill?

What happened to them?

I found a safe place to hide them.

You created your own
witness protection program.

That's right.

An entire community

made up of people
that didn't deserve to die.

But somehow Bagosa found out.

Then how is it
that you're still walking around?

I'm that good.

That's why Bagosa
sent Stegner to Hawaii, huh?

To kill those people
that you've been hiding?

Those people are innocent.

I couldn't let Stegner end their lives.

You think I'm lying?

I think you just told
a really great campfire story.

The only things missing
are the marshmallows.

The only way we can know
if you're telling the truth

is if you tell us
where you stashed those people.

So where are they?

If I tell you,
I put those people at risk.

That's just not gonna happen.

Boy, I have heard some fairy tales
in 30 years as a cop

- but this one beats all of them.
- It's out there.

But I give him points
for originality.

If he made it up,
it was well-rehearsed.

Come on,
you're not buying this, are you?

Every gun-for-hire has an exit strategy
in case he gets pinched.

This guy's story is probably
just something to distract us

from what he's really here to do.

Yeah, or it's real
and he's telling the truth.

We gotta dig into this.
We gotta dig into this.

Let's see if Detroit can corroborate.

Lieutenant Kelly.

I've been thinking
about your friend's situation.

And?

Maybe we can do
a little quid pro quo.

That is, if my welfare
means anything to you.

It doesn't. Just keep talking.

Turns out some of the guys
in general pop

don't like the fact
that I'm related to Five-0.

Maybe you should have thought of that
before you killed my father.

Look, what's done is done.
Nothing can change that.

But what can change
is your friend's situation.

Tell me what you want.

Immediate transfer
to the special holding unit

at the high-security facility.

There I'll get a private cell
and private rec time and for that,

I am willing to pay
five and a half million dollars.

So I was able
to track down paperwork

from a surgical supply company
verifying Valentine's heart transplant.

It was all paid for by Bagosa.

But there's not much more
post-surgery.

Valentine said he stashed
those people somewhere,

which means
he could've bought land.

The problem with Valentine
is that he's in a cash business.

- Right?
- Right. So it's unlikely

he's the kind of guy
that's gonna use his real name.

So there's no financials, no way
to trace any real estate transactions.

Then where the hell
is Valentine hiding

all these people
he was supposed to kill?

My assistant said you rang.

Your mom didn't sound too happy
when I called. ls everything all right?

- She's got seller's remorse.
- Hey, congrats

- on selling your house.
- Not my house. It's my mom's.

Which means I'm in the market
for a new basement,

if any of you are looking for
a friendly nonsmoker

willing to trade light housework
for room and board.

Well, if you hear of anything then.

Cool. How can I help?

So listen, if somebody
wanted to live off the grid...

Jerry, and I'm talking
like big brother-fearing,

income tax-avoiding,
way, way off the grid,

- where would they go?
- No phone service,

no nosey tourists,
no contact with the outside world.

What they're trying to say is where do
your like-minded friends all live?

- How many people we looking at?
- Maybe a dozen, possibly more.

Right. And it'd need to be a place
that has the resources

to sustain a community like that
for a long period of time.

So you're saying,

like, if Amelia Earhart had
come to Hawaii to fake her death

instead of Howland Island?

- Sure, Jerry.
- Well, that's easy.

Two places, west coast of Molokai
or the Lanai rainforest.

If you wanted to disappear,
either place would work.

Right.

Special Agent Chapman.
Any progress on your end?

I'm afraid we have
a new development.

- What's that?
- One of my most reliable CI's

just told me a plane chartered
by one of Bagosa 's front companies

left Detroit four hours ago
headed west with a manifest of six.

FAA just lost contact with the plane.

We're pretty sure
they're avoiding radar contact.

You got trouble headed your way.

Six guys, a lot of muscle.

They're not just coming for Valentine.

They're coming for the people
he's hiding.

We gotta move.

Listen to me very carefully, if you care
about those people you're hiding,

- you need to tell us where they are.
- What's going on?

There's a plane in the air
with six guys on it, they're coming here

to finish the job
your pal Stegner couldn't.

I'm gonna say it one more time,

if they mean anything to you,
anything at all,

you need to give us their location,
you understand?

How do I know you're not lying?

You tell us where they are,
you can help us save them.

They're five miles from here.
In an abandoned summer camp.

- I made a map for you.
- All right, thanks.

- It's all there, just like we agreed on.
- Okay. Mahalo.

All right, let's go.

Spread out. Anthony, come here.

Generator is running out of fuel.

Somebody's gonna have
to go into town for supplies.

I can do that tomorrow
morning before it gets too busy.

I'll tell the others,
get them to make their lists.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're
running low on some of the essentials.

We're gonna need
some more batteries

and I think we're
pretty low on fishing line.

- It worked.
- Told you.

How about a little love
for the maestro?

- Good work, Jerry.
- Thanks, sistah.

- Jerry, I got movement.
- One diversion, coming right up.

Hey, have you seen
my pocket knife?

Did you lose it
again? Maybe one of the kids took it.

I don't
believe it, toaster's broken again.

Little help here.

Freeze.

Hello, boss.

Do you have any idea
what you're doing, Valentine?

Asking you politely
to put down your gun.

You know me better than anyone.

I'll blow your damn head off
right here.

- Take him away.
- My pleasure.

I saved your life.

In ways you'll never know.

All right, you want
to step this way, sir?

Got a nice little cage for you.

Thank you.

Let's go.

All right, it's all here.
Five and a half million.

You're gonna maybe tell me
where it came from?

Anonymous donor.

That donor wouldn't happen

to be somebody
who's related to you, would it?

He was once.
He means nothing to me now.

This is gonna cost you in ways
that you could not possibly predict.

You know that, right?

Why don't you let me
worry about that.

You just worry about
getting your brother back.

Okay. Thank you.

- Thank you, brother.
- Yeah.

I mean it.

You made it with an hour to spare.

You brought a little friend too,
that's nice.

Look, it's all there, okay?

Just let me see
my brother now. Please.

You're right. Deal's a deal.

Hi.

Matty. Hey, Matty? Matty, it's me.

Do you wanna take him with you or
would you prefer that we ship him?

Danny.

Get up, get up.

Okay, all right. All right. Listen to me.

Do yourself a favor and kill me now

because I promise you I'm gonna put
you in the ground the first chance I get.

No, you listen to me.
Take some advice, go home.

And if you love your daughter,

you won't ever come back to
Colombia again, do you understand?

Yeah.

Fernando!

What'd I just tell you, huh?

What'd I say? Huh?
What'd I tell you?

Huh? Huh?

What'd I say?

Okay. Look at me.

You look at me. Look at me.
Look at me.

That's it.
