Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 9, Episode 1 - Ka owili oka'i - full transcript

After Steve's CIA agent friend is killed, McGarrett lets himself be captured by the group he thinks is responsible and endures a torturous sensory deprivation tank to find the killer.

Bring him to me.

About average...

for a very stubborn man.

Hes hallucinating.

Get him out.

Commander McGarrett,

are you ready to talk?

♪ On a coconut island

♪ Id like to be a castaway
with you ♪

♪ On a coconut island

♪ There wouldn't be
so very much to do ♪



♪ I would linger a while

♪ And just gaze
into your lovely eyes so blue ♪

♪ Then Id walk for a mile
and come running back ♪

♪ To be with you

♪ There the waves
would make a pair ♪

♪ Of willing slaves
of you and me forever ♪

♪ And wed laze
for days and days ♪

♪ And never gaze out...

Well...

isn't this cute?

And suspiciously felonious.

I see someones been using their
word-of-the-day calendar.

- It's not actually - what it looks like.
- You're right.

Yeah, it doesn't look
like you two are working



for Pablo Escobar.
How silly of me to think that.

Whats wrong, Eddie?

They're not letting you dig?

So, are we making

a deposit or a withdrawal?

- Deposit.
- Deposit.

- Its a long story.
- Is it?

Well, I got time.

All I have to do
is watch two sweaty men dig.

Unless you need help?

Oh, no, its all right.
We got Danny and Grover

coming over
in a couple of minutes.

- Do you?
- Yeah.

Okay. Like, now I feel left out.

#Offended.

♪ Women Can Dig Too.

Hashtag...

can you pass me a bottle
of water before I pass out?

- I'll take one of those, too.
- All right.

- Only if you tell me what's going on.
- Okay.

Okay.

Kamekona invested
in the restaurant

Danny and I are trying to open.

All right, he paid in cash,

and I really don't have
anywhere else safe to keep it.

Except for maybe a bank.

But no, you're right.
This is much more fun.

Tani, if I deposit
this money in a bank,

I have to hire a lawyer,
okay, to draw up

a formal partnership agreement.

That's expensive. We're trying
to stay liquid at the moment.

So you're gonna bury the money
in the backyard

and then go into business

with a... with a former convict
based on a handshake.

- Well, Kamekonas- ohana,
- So...

Right.
And you know what they say

about going into business
with family.

Uh, they say don't do it.

Yeah, shes right.
I've heard that one before.

Keep digging, please.

Yes, sir.

McGarrett.

What?

No, of course.
I-I'll be right there.

Yeah.
Thank you.

Boss, you okay?

Yeah. We got to tie this up.
Lets, uh...

lets go.

Steve.

You knew him.

His name is Tom Hennessey.
He worked for the CIA.

Helped me track down
Victor Hesse back in the day.

Who's Victor Hesse?

Victor Hesse is the guy
that killed Steve's father.

Junior.

Yeah.

Call the agency. Tell
them our DB is Hennessey.

- Done.
- Pua, what else you got?

We found his clothes and wallet
a few yards down the beach.

His clothes were folded
in a pile just like this.

Wow. Looks like he went
for a swim

and didn't make it.

Sure looks that
way. The thing is,

I know for a fact
that Hennessey, uh,

had a brother who drowned
when he was a kid,

and he never went near the water
after that.

He was murdered.

Here you go.

If there's anything else

you need, I'll be downstairs.

Thank you very much, Rosemary.

Anything for the fuzz.

We appreciate that.

Steve.

Yeah.

Somebody was just here.

What is it?

"Cocoon."

Cocoon?

That's all I can make out.

Danny.

- Shoot him.
- You shoot him.

Book him, Danno.

Hey, I-Id like to do that,
but he's...

hes clearly dead.

Well, that's a guess.

Its a guess?
Let me explain something to you.

When there's more blood on
the outside of the human being

than there is on the inside,

its a pretty good indication
that hes...

hes dead.
You really got to do that?

Well, I got to make sure, okay? I
don't want this guy getting back up

and kicking your ass.

Oh, okay. Well,
let me explain something.

I would've done what you did,

only in a way that we
could still ask him questions.

I'm sorry, you blaming me?

Uh, yeah.
I am blaming you.

Okay? Now we have to guess.

Good job.

All right.
Let's get Noelani on the phone.

Tell her we need an I.D.
on a John Doe.

Place got more traffic
than Kanye's Twitter feed.

I'll explain to you who Kanye and
what Twitter is later, all right?

You're stupid.

You're stupid.

Hands! Hands!
Right now!

McGarrett?

What are you doing here?

About to ask you
the same question.

That's need-to-know.

Were making sure Hennessey
didn't leave anything behind

That can be considered
a breach of security.

Yeah, okay. Well, if he did,

it's probably what
this guy was looking for.

Who's he?

We, uh, still trying
to figure that out.

Don't look at me. It was all him.

His names Chow. He used to work

for the Ministry
of State Security in China.

So, what, he's a spy?

One of the best.

Okay.
Any idea what he's doing

in Hennessey's apartment?

Well, if I did, Id be guessing.

That was almost convincing.

Excuse me?

You know what
he's doing here, right?

Calling me a liar?

You guys are
all the same, you know that?

McGarrett, I think
you need to put a leash

- on your boy here.
- Actually,

Its "Detective Williams" to you.

And, uh,
I've been trying to do that

for about eight
and a half years.

I got an idea.
Why don't you guys

go outside and come back in

and one of you can have
a better attitude.

Or how about no. How
about you guys take a walk

and the agency takes
over from here.

Excuse me?

You-you giving out orders now?
Is that it?

Everybody knows Steve McGarrett
only takes orders

from the governor and God.

And on occasion,
even they have trouble.

That's right.

Which means you know
I'm not gonna stand down

on a homicide.

Homicide?

You can prove that?

Give me time. I will.

"Governor and God," huh?

Whats that?

Uh, the woman.
She was, uh...

she was flirting with you.

Uh, either that
or shes impressed,

for some ridiculous reason.

Or, or, uh,

you have hooked up with her.

Which I know is the case here.
You don't have to answer.

You can just grunt
once if I'm right, okay?

Oh, God.

- It was a long time ago, okay?
- I...

It was right after
I got my trident.

It was before Catherine.
So it's history.

- It's ancient history.
- You don't have to justify anything to me.

I'm not justifying.
I'm not justifying.

I'm telling you.
I'm just saying.

Let me ask you a question.

Did you know that she
was on the island?

No, Danny, I did not know
she was on the island.

Okay, well, look,
I-in my experience,

one-night stands can...

- What is this?
- It wasn't a one-night stand.

There was more to it than that.

Whatever.

The-the point is this, okay?
This agent, this woman,

she can help you solve
your friend's murder,

and then the two of you
can maybe get into some, uh,

grown folks business, right?

Get in the car, Danny.

Hold on.

I need you to stop living
like a monk, okay?

- Danny, get in the car.
- I'm gonna get you

An orange robe. I'm gonna make
you wear it to work every day.

I don't live like a monk,
all right?

- You don't?
- No.

How many dates you been on
since you broke up with Lynn?

- Please get in the car.
- Zero.

Zero. Zero.

Oh, yeah? Look who's counting.

I'm... What am I counting?
There's nothing to count.

Zero and zero is zero.
There's no-no math.

Forget it.

Okay? I don't got to use my fingers.
Zero is zero.

Seriously?

You're-you're a child.

You haven't told McGarrett yet,
have you?

No.

Well, what are you gonna do?

What am I supposed
to do, tell him

Adam Noshimuri
killed his own sister?

With no proof? That's really
gonna go over well.

You found the murder weapon
in a drawer in Adams house.

No, I didn't; I found a gun

that happens to be
the same caliber.

That hardly constitutes
a murder weapon.

Well, did you get it tested?

Don't think I haven't
thought of that.

Then what are you waiting for?

If it doesn't come back
as the murder weapon,

then you can stop
thinking about it.

And if it does?

Commander, I found
something on Agent Hennessey

I think you should see.

Something on the lashes.

Is that it?

That white stuff is
called "gutta-percha."

Gutta-percha?

Its used by dentists after a
root canal to plug up the holes.

Has a slight eucalyptus
taste to it.

But it wasn't just in the eyes.

I found residuals
of the same sealing substance

in the hair follicles
of his nose and ears.

Wait a minute,
Hennessey's eyes, nose,

and ears were sealed up
with this gutta-percha stuff,

and then he was drowned?

Why?

Commander, I just
find the evidence.

Your job is to solve the crime.

All right.
Thanks, Noelani.

Hennessey, were taking fire.

Heavy casualties.
What's your status?

Were on our way. Hang in there, buddy.

Hey.

Hey.
Walk with me.

Listen, thanks for coming.

Of course.

I just figured
after Morocco, maybe...

I'd never want to see you again?

Don't flatter yourself, Steve.

We spent two days of R&R
in a Marrakesh fleabag.

I didn't expect you to propose.

Okay, well, I really
did get deployed,

just so you know.

I found your note.
Good.

Everything I wrote
in that note was true.

Except the part
about seeing each other again.

Yeah, my life got
a little complicated.

Yeah, I know.

Lieutenant Rollins and I
ran into each other

a few years back.

But you didn't ask me here
to talk about old times.

Does your, uh, your partner know

you came to meet me today?

Millers not good with secrets.

Okay.

And?

He told me to keep
my mouth shut,

get you talking.

Hopefully, whatever you know

can help us find
Hennessey's killer.

All I got is a riddle.

Maybe I can answer it.

First, I want to know
what Hennessey was working on.

Routine intel gathering.
Nothing with a clock.

Routine intel gathering?

That way they
assigned you to this?

No one assigned me.
I asked.

Hennessey was my friend, too.

Okay, so we both
want the same thing.

Agreed.
Good.

So, what was Hennessey
working on that got him killed?

Greer, you can tell me,
or I can go over your head.

Okay.

Hennessey was one
of a dozen key agents

at work right now in a dozen
different countries.

You knew Anderson,
Glenn Anderson?

Yeah. We were down range
together in the sandbox in 03.

But wait a minute,
you said, "knew."

What are you talking about?

Well, ten days ago in Jakarta,

he drove his car off the road.

Killed instantly.

Why do you think
it wasn't an accident?

Anderson in Jakarta,
Stanton in Bangkok,

Burke in Korea,
Brubaker in Hong Kong.

Now Hennessey in Hawaii.

Five top agents dead
in three months.

Despite your theory
on Hennessey,

so far, not a shred of
evidence to the contrary.

- All accidental deaths.
- No.

No, its impossible.

Of course.

Meanwhile, our whole Pacific
Operation is caving in on us.

Well, wait a minute, the CIA
has to have some lead,

a theory at least.
We do.

And if you quote me,
Ill deny it.

Of course.

Its got to be
from the inside out.

Are you telling me there's
a mole inside the CIA?

Who is it?

When you find out, tell me.

"Cocoon."
It's the only complete word

in all the charred pieces
from Hennessey's place.

The rest are just fragments.

"A-R-C."

What are those two swoops
before the "A"?

Those fragmented symbols
occur over and over

throughout the other remains.

The lab has yet to crack them.

However, they were able
to find this.

"R-U-S." Okay, that's legible.

That's clearly the end of a word.

Yeah, the "R-U-S" ending

appears a number of times
in the remaining pages.

Okay, so we need to find the missing
piece that connects the two.

Okay, they couldn't find
the exact segment,

but the lab ran a scan
of the remaining pieces,

and recovered this.

And when you slide them
together...

What is that?
It spells "Arcturus."

What is Arcturus?

Its the name of a star.

A star? GROVER: Okay.

So, now we got two words:
cocoon and Arcturus.

And a Chinese spy who broke into
your friend Hennessey's place

so that we wouldn't find them.

- Maybe some kind of cipher.
- I don't know,

These were in Hennessey's
private notes.

I doubt he coded anything.

Hey, guys,

I just heard from HPD,
and they found Hennessey's car.

It was towed into impound
after sitting abandoned

along the Sand Island Parkway.

That's nowhere near
where the body was found.

Hold on now.

Hennessey may have been
surveilling something out there.

Junior, whats the closest pier

to where they found
Hennessey's car?

Uh, I think it was Pier 10.

That's a commercial pier.

Jerry, what if these
swoops are SS?

S.S. Arcturus.

Its a ship.

Oh... I got it.

- S. S. Arcturus. Right there.
- All right, all right.

Let me get in here.

Shes, uh...

Shes sitting pretty low
in the water.

Fuel tanks probably
filled with gas.

Yeah, and what else?

Huh.

Hennessey was surveilling
this boat for a reason, Danny.

Whatever is going through
your head right now,

I just want you to know
it's a bad idea.

- I got to get on that boat.
- Right.

Its a bad idea, okay?
And even if it was a good idea,

what are you gonna do?
You gonna swim?

You gonna swim over there?

You gonna SEAL your way on
to a-a boat registered

to a foreign country?

Younger me would.

Older me has an easier way.

Hold up.

Commander McGarrett?

Yes, sir.

Detective Williams?

Jonathan Kray,

Chief of Pacific Operations
and Counterintelligence.

- Good to meet you.
- You got our enemies

Running scared, Commander.

Uh, I don't follow.

After you took down
that Russian spy ring,

the Chinese have been
circling the wagons.

We believe Hennessey

and some of his associates
were identified

by a mole inside the CIA,

then interrogated and murdered

by a rogue faction of China's
Ministry of State Security

to see what we know.

So this is my fault.

Not at all.
Your task force did its job.

We failed at ours by not
protecting our people.

That evidence
your medical examiner found...

What are you talking
about, the gutta-percha?

That's right. We found traces of
it in all the other autopsies,

and confirmed that the S.S. Arcturus,

was in every port
at the time of death.

So we have to assume
that this thing

you found in the hold,
this cocoon,

is some kind of
sensory depravation tank

being used to get inside
our agents heads

and reveal our

counterintelligence
investigation.

The man you found
in Hennessey's apartment

might be able to help us.

Yeah,
no, hes, uh...

hes-hes dead, actually.

That's exactly the reason
why he's gonna be useful.

Okay, let me get this straight.

So your new spy friend Kray

is gonna leak information
that McGarrett

found a bunch
of incriminating information

at Hennessey's apartment.

Then McGarrett's gonna
allow himself to get captured,

and interrogated,

and download a whole bunch
of misinformation.

Correct. That will
then do what exactly?

Well, for a start, it'll expose
their communication channels.

All right?

The people who were behind
Hennessey's murder

were convinced
that he was about to expose

their entire
counterintelligence.

Their whole network of spies

working within
the United States.

We are gonna feed them

false intel about
our own counterintelligence.

Like what?

Like Hennessey was a liaison
for a bunch of double agents.

Identities only he knew.

But Krays gonna let it be known

that you have
this information as well.

Exactly. And if the guys
on that ship buy it,

we have eyes and ears
on their entire operation.

So its basically malware.

- Show off.
- Basically, were gonna open

A back door to their network.

And when they start
using this intel,

monitoring comms channels,
using code names,

we can trace it back to anybody

who logs onto that network.

They think they're watching us,
but we're watching them.

And when the time comes,
we shut them down.

Like Spy vs. Spy. I like it.

- All right.
- Yeah, I-I don't like it.

But, boss, I-if
they put Hennessey

in that tank before
they killed him,

doesn't that mean that
he gave them what they wanted?

If that was the case,
why would they send somebody

to Hennessey's apartment
to search the place

after he was killed?

Okay, well, I get it,

but if you're gonna
let yourself get brainwashed,

how do you know for sure that's
all you're going to give them?

Okay, hold on, cause
that's where you lose me.

Brainwashing? That's
science fiction, right?

Its science fact.

Jer, no offense,
I'm just saying

what everyone here
is thinking but you.

Patty Hearst, the people
who followed Manson,

Mk Ultra.

The CIA's been conducting
mind control experiments

since the 1950s.

Live under a rock
if you want to.

Junior, to answer
your question, right?

This information
I got to memorize

is gonna be fresh in my head.

So theoretically, it should be
the first intel I offer up.

I'm worried you're gonna
come back and kill one of us.

Jerry.

What? No one saw
The Manchurian Candidate?

I-I'm sure I'm gonna be fine.

No, y-you're not gonna be fine.

You're doing something
really stupid

so something
really bad might happen.

Just relax, please.

One suggestion: what about
Agent Miller and Greer?

And the CIA? Shouldn't
they be doing this?

I mean, this is
about their agents.

There's a leak
in the agency right now,

which means nobody
outside of this room

can know what were about to do.

I'm telling you guys,
its gonna work, all right?

I just need 24 hours.

All right. Junior and I
are in position.

All right. I got eyes on Steve.
Everybody set?

I got eyes on him, too.

Ortega here.
I got the dock covered.

HPD's set up
around the perimeter.

All right.
Good, Jerry. Stand by.

Guys?
I just wanted to say

thanks for letting me
come tonight.

Yeah, well, you wanted more
fieldwork, Jerry. Here you are.

Lets just hope this thing
goes according to plan,

otherwise everybody's gonna
consider you bad luck.

Commander McGarrett.
Pleasure to finally meet.

You?

Everything you know.

Everything, from the time you
learned two and two make four,

you're gonna tell me.

You're wasting your time.

Perhaps.

I know this man, believe me.

If he found something
in Hennessey's apartment,

hes not gonna tell us.

Hey, you know
something, fruitcake?

You should listen to the lady.

I'm not gonna tell you anything.

I disagree, Commander.

You see, the brain
is like a computer.

And your computer
has been receiving data

from the moment you were born.

Perhaps even sooner.

Sound, smell, touch,

temperature, change, pain,

pleasure, all input, all sorted.

But what would happen if,

for the very first time
in your life,

all that sensory input,

all those wonderful messages
to the brain were shut off?

Completely shut off.

There will be
no messages in there.

The amount of time varies
with each individual,

but eventually,
a starved computer panics.

After that, its just
a matter of minutes.

The brain...

...blanks, washes out.

And what was once a human being
is now a vegetable.

A very compliant
vegetable, at that.

And so I have it

removed from the vat,
I ask it questions.

It

answers.

Prep him.

Hey.

Tell me why.

At this point,
does it really matter?

All right, now, settle down,
now, settle down, Danny.

Pace yourself, man.
Its gonna be a long night.

Hey. I feel you, man.

That's my brother
in there, too, you know.

Its been almost six hours.

He hasn't made a sound.

True.

He could be dead.

Not this man.

Hes different than most.

Hes hallucinating.

Get him out.

Commander McGarrett,

are you ready to talk?

What?

Nothing.

I just want this
to be over with.

Yeah, I know the feeling.

What did you find in
Agent Hennessey's apartment?

A book.

And did this book
have names in it?

Yes.

I want the names
of all the agents

that Hennessey
listed in this book.

Will you give them to me?

Yes.

Guys, I got movement.

All right, here we go, people.

Who is that?

Its Greer.

Ill be a s...

Shes playing both sides.

Whoa. Double agent.

- Come on, come on.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Dan, come on now.
That ain't the plan.

If shes got McGarrett's intel,

we have to let her go.

I know, I know.
Steve trusted her.

Yeah, I feel you,

but we taking down the whole
hive, not just the queen bee.

Get your men out here.

Have them search
the perimeter now.

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

Somethings going down, guys.

Be aware.

Oh, hell, I think
we've been made.

Party time.

Make it hot, baby.

Were pinned.

I got an idea.
Come on, follow me.

Tell the captain to shove off.

Let's get around to the other
side of the reef, dump him.

Find him!

Cover me!

Move out!

Damn it. I'm out!

Hey!

Jerry, sushi on me for a month.
Stay in the car.

Steve.

Come on.

Hey. Steve.

Hey, hey. You okay?

You okay?
Look at me. Hey.

Look at me, look at me.
You all right?

What's my name, huh?

What's my name?

Danny.
Good, good.

Good. How long have
we known each other?

50 years.

50... that's not funny.

Feels like 50 years.

That's not funny.
I'm trying to be serious here.

Okay?

Its gonna take more than
a little brain scrub

to make me forget
you, pal, okay?

Mm-hmm. What-what is that,
what is that supposed to mean?

Nothing.
Nothing?

No.

Sarcasm is not "nothing."

Its actually Greek
for "tearing flesh."

- Not being sarcastic.
- You're not being genuine.

You certainly didn't say it with
any sort of affection towards me.

I got an idea.
Okay.

Why don't you throw
me back in there

until I actually do forget you.

Why don't I let you drown
next time? How about that?

Hey.

Thank you.

- Come on, I...
- You're welcome, you're welcome.

- You look ridiculous, by the way.
- Yeah.

It was Greer.

Yeah, we know.

She get away?

Yeah, and she left in a hurry.

Which means she took
the bait. Right?

Unless her whole mind control
experiment failed miserably

and we just let an agent
suspected of treason walk.

Well, I hope this ridiculous
plan of yours works.

It will.
