What?
The music, Dad.
My deck, my music.
Yeah, okay.
But since when did you start
getting into musical theater?
Since I saw your mother sign up
for drama in high school.
What, she sang? My mom sang?
We both did.
You sang?
I had no choice.
See, I joined chorus
so I could meet her.
Nice. I mean,
that's smooth, Dad.
Smooth. I guess it worked
out all right, huh?
♪ Tender boy
♪ I don't care...
Dad?
You okay?
Dad?
I remember when she lost that.
You good?
Yeah. Fine.
Go.
Its okay.
Sure?
Really, its okay.
All right. Ill be back.
Duke. What do we got?
A dead window washer.
And I take it that if were here,
it wasn't an accident, right?
Definitely not.
The rig came down
because the line was cut.
Got a name?
Not yet. He was discovered
early this morning.
No ID or phone on him.
Only thing in his pocket
was a set of keys.
Were trying to match them
with the vehicles in the area.
Fabrique Window Washing Hawaii.
We call this company,
might be able to tell us
who this guy is.
Tanis trying
to get a hold of them now.
I also got officers
taking statements.
See if anyone was here
last night and saw something.
Okay.
So, uh, what do we think?
Why kill a window washer?
This-this guy
spends all day
looking into windows.
Maybe he saw something
he wasn't supposed to.
Maybe.
Maybe he had beef that was
completely unrelated to his job.
They made it look like
a work accident.
Yeah.
Any luck getting a name?
I actually cant get a hold
of Fabrique Window Washing
Hawaii because the company
doesn't exist.
So what was this guy
doing up there?
So, HPD matched
those keys
that were found in the
vics pocket to a van
that was parked nearby,
and its registered
to this individual.
Meet your wannabe window washer.
Fellow by the name
of James Cooper.
Now, Coopers a corporate
consultant based out of Miami.
We don't have a local address
on him yet.
But the address
on that registration is
to a vacant lot in Kawailoa.
So this guy has a fake address,
works for a fake company,
and he's 6,000 miles away
from home.
I contacted Miami PD.
I asked them
to go by the guys apartment.
The doorman there says the guy
hasn't been there
in almost a year.
Hmm.
Okay, so,
what's this guy been doing?
Well, I checked his travel
records, you know, just to see
how long he's been
on the island.
This guy is a regular
globe-trotter.
In the last year,
he's been to Boston,
Atlanta, London,
San José in Costa Rica
before landing here
two months ago.
He's a consultant.
Maybe he's going
from client to client.
- Right?
- Yeah.
Maybe the consultant thing...
I think its a cover.
The guys here
snooping around this building
in the middle of the night.
More like he's-he's casing it
for a robbery.
Pretty ingenious
way to get access,
posing as a window washer.
All right, Junior,
do me a favor.
Look into all the tenants
that have offices
in that building
and see if any of them
would be obvious targets,
all right?
Okay.
Also,
while you're at it,
reach out
to HPD Robbery Division.
See if theres been any
high-end burglaries recently.
Please.
Copy.
Tani, go ahead.
You're on speaker.
Hey.
Im on the roof with Jerry.
I can tell you the killers
were definitely here last night.
Im sorry.
Did you say "killers,"
as in plural?
Yeah. We got fresh shell casings
from two different guns.
Shots were definitely fired
before our vics rig was cut.
Okay. Didnt expect
to hear that.
Yeah. Theres also a lot
of footprints up here,
but fortunately,
the roof is white membrane,
so the silt impressions
are pretty clearly defined.
You said "bunch of footprints"?
Well, hell,
they can belong to anybody.
I mean,
what if its an office worker
who just went outside
for a smoke break?
The roof is restricted access,
so the only person that has
the key is the maintenance man.
Im guessing that our vic
probably picked the lock.
Lets say all those footprints
are from last night.
How long is it gonna take CSU
to sort through them?
Actually, Jerrys
covering that right now.
Is that right?
I got a crime scene
modeling drone.
It'll render a 3-D map
of the entire rooftop,
which should give us
the depth, angle
and sole pattern
of every footprint up here.
Well, looks like
your new toy picked up
five distinct sets
of footprints now,
but one of thems
all over the place.
Yeah, Im thinking that's
the maintenance man,
so Im gonna eliminate that.
These prints match the shoes
of our victim.
They're, uh,
they're concentrated
at the edge of the roof,
which makes sense,
cause that's where he
was setting up his rig.
Two other sets of footprints
emerge on the roof.
Tani, whered you say you found
those shell casings?
Right here.
Well, that makes sense.
They see Cooper.
They start firing.
Yeah, then Cooper
tries to escape.
Tries to get on the rig,
slide down the side
of the building,
and then our attackers
cut the line.
And Mr. Cooper
is quickly introduced
to the sidewalk.
Okay. H-Hold up,
hold up. I got...
I got two sets of prints here
that belong to our assailants.
I got those.
We got one set of prints that
belongs to our victim here.
But what about this other set...
that move away from the action
towards the south exit?
According to the program,
those are smaller
and made a shallower impression,
most likely female.
The balls of the feet
were the deepest.
She was running away
from the attackers.
So, if she was with the victim,
what are we thinking?
An accomplice?
Well, whoever she was,
she took the fire escape.
You know what this means?
We have an eyewitness.
Were gonna get the answers
we want soon as we find her.
Yeah, unless the killers
find her first.
Turns out there are quite a few
things of note
about your window washer.
First, before the fall,
he sustained
a nonfatal bullet wound
to the back of the shoulder.
Wow, buddy, you had some luck.
Survive a gunshot wound
only to plummet to your death.
Well, the irony is that
even if the fall
hadn't killed him,
he still wouldve died
within a few months.
How so?
Late-stage bladder cancer.
His lungs show traces
of toluene.
Its a chemical used in fuels,
solvents
and other industrial products.
Prolonged exposure to it has
been linked to bladder cancer,
but this is where it get weird.
It wasn't until I washed off
the blood that I noticed
his fingerprints,
or the lack thereof.
It looks like
he burned them off with acid.
Not to speak ill of
the dead, but that
is downright disgusting.
Well, its pretty effective,
too, though. I mean,
if this guys a thief,
it pays to have fingers
that don't leave a print.
The more we learn
about Old Sticky Fingers,
the more about him
just screams "burglar."
So, I looked into all
the offices in that building,
and none of them look like
high-value burglary targets.
You know, you got CPAs,
investment consultants.
One company makes kids TV.
Uh-huh.
Ill bet he wasn't in it
for the alphabet cartoons.
Yeah, Ill tell you
something else.
Theres an easier way
to get financial records
than hanging off the side
of a building.
Just the man
I was about to call.
Plus two. CSU processed the van,
and they found a garage door
clicker in the glove box.
Does it have an address on it?
Cause I-I don't know if
that's gonna help, Jer.
You know, unless you want us
driving around the island
pointing the clicker
at random garages.
Well, we don't have to
cover the whole island.
There are empty cups
from Kope Kahuna Cafe
in the van.
We also found a couple receipts
from gas stations,
and using those locations,
I was able to narrow
the search area
to this half mile-radius
in Kapolei.
And I cloned
the clickers signal so
we can cover more ground faster.
All right, Jerry, Junior,
get these clickers to HPD.
Help them with the canvass.
Please, let us know
if you get a hit.
Field work. Sweet.
Yeah, Adam, what's good?
Hmm. Okay.
Well, text me the address.
So, we got a body off Iwilei.
Adams gonna need a little
help with the scene.
Busy day out there today.
Bad never rests, baby.
Neither do we.
Yes, sir.
So, you get an ID
on old Shirtless
Joe Jackson here?
Not yet. His wallets gone,
and his prints
aren't in the system.
Yeah, well,
at least he had prints.
What?
Long story.
Go on.
Okay.
So, sanitation worker
found the body.
ME says he was strangled.
TOD was sometime
around 3:00 a.m.
He was strangled, all right.
Look at those ligature
marks there. All right,
not very unusual to find a man
shirtless on Oahu,
but look at his slacks
and shoes.
Clearly this guy was dressed
for an evening out,
not a beach barbecue.
- That's what I was thinking.
- Right.
You know, the wallet, I get it.
But why literally steal
the shirt off the guys back?
Have a theory on that.
Maybe what they stole
wasn't any ordinary shirt.
You see this button?
This buttons made of bamboo.
So, what-what is this?
Some eco-friendly trend
I don't know about?
Are you serious?
The shirt this button came
from was no ordinary shirt.
It was a shirt that is
impervious to any trend.
It was a work of fine art.
And if you're looking
for the finest, my friend,
theres only one game in town.
So this is where you get
your endless collection
of Aloha shirts, huh?
Yeah, well,
we all weren't blessed
with the Noshimuri cheekbones
there, Adam.
You see, some of us have
to make a little effort
to-to look good.
Very little effort,
- mind you.
- Right.
Lou.
My man.
Hey. Been a minute,
my friend.
What can I help you with today?
Unfortunately, um,
I need your help
with a homicide investigation.
Take a look at this button.
♪ Beneath the palm trees
♪ In the early morning...
Bamboo.
Moderately aged.
And the threads are heavy rayon.
I wouldn't be surprised
if this came off a...
vintage 1950s Royal Hawaiian.
Wow.
Guess that means
its worth real money.
Couple grand, at least,
especially here.
You thinking our perp might show
up here, trying to unload it?
I hope so.
There are a couple
other places he can go,
but we can have HPD sit
on those.
Thing is,
if the killer knew enough
about this shirt
to recognize its value...
Then they'd know
where to get top dollar.
Boom.

♪ Of a hurricane

All right, you're too quiet.
Joons, what's going on?
Its nothing.
Come on.
When I was with my dad
this morning,
we found my sisters
old charm bracelet
from when she was ten.
Well, that's not nothing.
You know, after the accident,
you know, when my dad
had told me what had happened
and that Maya was gone...
...he didn't cry.
Not once.
In a weird way,
it was... it was kind of good,
because he was like my rock.
You know, you couldve thrown
anything at him
and it wouldve bounced
right back off.
But now its...
Well, you're older,
and you know how much
pain he must be in.
Yeah. And still,
he's like a brick wall.
Like, you shouldve seen the way
he shoved this bracelet
into his pocket,
like it was just, like,
a receipt or something.
Wait, are you telling me
that a man that you share
DNA with doesn't like
talking about his feelings?
That's... Im sorry,
can you fan me so I don't faint?
Cause Im driving, so...
Yeah, thank you. Okay.
Good? Yeah.
That's much better. Yeah.
Reigns.
All right. Got it.
Its Pua.
They found the place.
What do we know, Pua?
My partner and I kept eyes
on front and back.
No ones gone in or out.
Okay, so if our mystery woman
really was Coopers accomplice
and she came back here
after everything
on the roof went south,
that means she could
still be in here.
Good work, Pua.
You want to do the honors?
Looks like someones living here.
Maybe that someones
behind Door Number One.
What the hell is that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Yo, yo, yo!
Get down! Get down!
You good?
Yeah. Can we get
some lights?
What the hell?
So, these are paint bombs,
apparently.
Yeah. They're rigged to go off
like a booby trap.
Look, they got mounted
paintball guns everywhere.
They're all pointed at the art.
Think its stolen?
No.
Look at this.
Stencils,
poster paper,
X-Acto knives.
Okay, looks like we had
this guy all wrong.
Cooper wasn't a thief.
He was an artist.
And, by the looks of it,
he was a graffiti artist.
Guess what's in spray paint.
Toluene.
Its what Noelani
found in his lungs.
Okay. So,
lets assume Cooper didn't go up
to the building to rob it.
He went there to tag it.
Question is,
whod want to kill
a street artist?
No idea.
But I know who to ask.
Uh-huh.
Interesting.
Guys, the-the picture,
so to speak,
is coming into focus.
You see the green-blue
shading pattern
o-on these pieces?
And in these stencils, the style
of the figures they create,
juxtaposing
an overarching aesthetic
of humanity and pathos.
Add to that
the paint bomb booby trap,
which clearly meant to obscure
the artwork and which speak
to our mystery artists famously
obsessive need for secrecy.
But the real clincher...
Oh, the clincher.
Yes, lets get
to the clincher,
because this is
a murder investigation
and not an art seminar.
The real clincher
is the signature
panda motif,
just visible here.
Th-Theres no doubt in my mind.
Ms. Rey, your investigation
has inadvertently solved
one of the great mysteries
of the modern art world.
You have found the studio
of the legendary Brikz!
Whos Brikz?
Brikz is an anonymous artist.
Works in secret,
mostly at night.
Along with Banksy
and maybe David Choe,
he's one of the top
street artists in the world.
One look at this image
and you'll see why.
- May-may I?
- Yeah.
- Wow.
- Wow.
Impressive.
Mm. I mean, illegal,
but impressive.
Yeah, but I-Im guessing
that the illegal aspect of this
is part of the appeal, right?
Oh, mass appeal.
In the space of a decade,
Brikz went from anonymous
young Turk tagger
to international gallery star.
And he really stayed anonymous
for that whole time?
Well, anonymity was part
of his brand.
It made him
very
famous.
And extremely rich.
Somebody knew who he was.
Somebody was with him
the night he was killed.
A woman.
As far as I understood,
the only person who knew
his real identity was
his art dealer, Sterling Jacobs.
Based in New York.
He handled all of Brikz sales
and publicity.
Okay, well,
its possible this guy
would have an idea of who
would want his client dead.
So, Junior, why don't you go
get onto this Jacobs guy?
See what he knows.
On it.
Oh, and something else
I can tell you.
I-I made some calls
on the way here.
It seems that a number
of Brikz pieces
recently started appearing here
in Honolulu.
Okay.
But as soon
as they went up,
they got defaced.
What do you mean, defaced?
Defaced how?
Ill show you.
A prominent local art critic
posted an image of one
of the defaced pieces yesterday.
So you're suggesting
that someone committed murder
over spray paint on a wall?
Crossing out someones work
like that is basically
a death threat.
So we find out who defaced
this guys art,
good chance we find our killer.
♪ Come on, now, break down
♪ Yeah
♪ Knowledge is born
when the deejay gets loose ♪
♪ You never see him sweat
but produce the def juice ♪
♪ Here in full effect,
known for causin a wreck ♪
♪ Try the gas but he manifest
what I express. ♪
This is the craziest thing
Ive ever agreed to.
All I know is our suspects
made sure to deface
every one of Brikz pieces.
If an undiscovered one comes up,
why wouldn't they hit that, too?
And Im pretty sure
this is gonna do the trick.
Wow. Its
actually...
Its actually pretty good.
Thanks. Its, uh...
what I do.
Now, to get the word out
via my Instagram.
Im not exactly an influencer,
but I do have enough followers
that word of my find
should get out pretty quickly.
"Just found.
"#Undiscovered #Brikz
"#Honolulu
#Kapolei."
#StopSayingHashtag.
Okay.
The trap is set.
Now we just wait.
You buy vintage shirts here,
right?
For a classic piece like that,
you want to talk
to our appraiser.
Hey.
You need an appraisal?
All right, let me
see what you got.
Sir, are you aware of
what you have here?
This is a 1950s Royal
Hawaiian "Hula Dancers"
in rayon.
We don't get stuff like this
coming through here often.
Huh. This is...
Uh-oh.
You're missing a button.
Uh...
Wait, w-wait.
I have an extra button here
that just might work. Let me...
Lucky day!
Its a perfect match.
Man, if I didn't know better,
Id swear this thing came
from this exact same shirt.
Yeah. W-What can I get for that?
Oh, Id say about 30 to life.
I didn't kill that dude.
I didn't kill that dude.
He was already dead
when I found him.
I swear.
I swear.
You have the right
to start running your mouth.
Tell us exactly what happened.
All right, all right.
I was at this
pai gow poker game, okay?
And that-and that dead dude
was there, too,
and he was on one hell
of a hot streak
cause he mustve won 20 grand
before he cashed out.
Did Mr. Hot Streak have a name?
Uh, Earl... something?
Look, it was my first time
at that game.
Uh, and it was definitely
my last.
When I finally went bust,
I went out the back,
and that dude, Earl,
was out there dead.
All right, I aint gonna lie.
I searched his pockets
but his roll was gone,
so whoever killed him
must have taken it.
So I just...
I just took what I could.
Meaning the shirt.
So, obviously, you knew
how valuable it was.
Well, Earl wouldn't shut up
about it the whole night.
He said he got it at an
estate sale for five bucks,
and now its worth
three or four grand.
I mean, how come stuff happens
to guys like him and never me?
If you want to turn
your luck around, pal,
tell us where you and Earl
played pai gow poker last night.
Damn.
I guess that means no luck, huh?
If I keep trying to hack
my way past this encryption,
the systems gonna
wipe all the data.
Im gonna have to take
this back to CSU.
The good news is theres
a fingerprint reader.
And this thing is covered
in fingerprints.
Hang on, I thought Brikz burned
his fingerprints off.
Which means that these might
belong to his accomplice.
And if shes an authorized user,
I could use her prints
to get access.
Did CSU already run em?
Yeah. Shes not in the system.
But Ill bet you dollars
to malasadas
that whatevers on this
hard drive can help us ID her.
Well, I think I already
beat you to it, buddy.
I found these in a drawer.
You know, most of them
are most likely reference shots,
of in-progress pieces,
but check this one out.
Oh, you think that's her?
Yeah, I hope so.
You know, I was thinking
we could run facial rec
if we can separate
those two images.
No doubt. Ill call the lab.
Make a reservation for two.
Wow. Almost 2,500 likes.
Looks like I am a bit of
an influencer after all.
You don't like me
very much, do you?
That's not true. I...
I like... your art.
I think...
I think you're talented,
you're talented.
Thanks.
But Im not really.
Well, come on.
You just whipped up
an "original" Brikz.
You fooled over
2,400 people so far.
That doesn't make me talented,
it makes me a good forger.
And profiting handsomely for it
from what Ive heard.
I made some money...
but I-I wasn't happy.
No matter how many people
my forgeries fooled,
I knew I was just like
my paintings:
a phony.
When I got arrested,
it was kind of a relief.
Cleaning up crime scenes
may not be glamorous, but...
at least I can look at myself
in the mirror every day.
That's something
not everyone can say.
Look at that.
Your scheme might
have actually worked.
Hey.
Get ready to come in.
Its the cops!
Get out of here!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Hey! Five-O! Stop!
Stop!
Cuff him.
Ow!
Dude, that really hurt.
Stay down.
Wow.
That was shockingly well done.
Uh, excuse me while I go throw
up and have a heart attack.
All right, boys,
turn around, please.
Congratulations,
you just defaced a fake Brikz.
I truly hope it was worth
the murder charge.
Wait, what?
We didn't murder anyone.
No. No. Im sure
he just flung himself
right off the roof, didn't he?
Brikz is dead?
And you think we killed him?
We got nothing but respect
for Brikz.
Mans a legend.
Is that why you were running
all over town
vandalizing his art?
This? We were
paid to do this.
But its not what you think.
The paint we use comes off.
I have a spray bottle
in my backpack. I can show you.
Okay. Dont move.
Okay, Mr. Clean,
show me.
Question: Why?
With what this guy pays,
we weren't asking.
All right.
Im gonna need a name.
Meet Sterling Jacobs,
Brikz agent.
I don't get it.
Why would this guy pay somebody
to deface one of his own
clients murals?
My guess, he's taking them off
the market
until a time
in the not-too-distant-future
when the value
is gonna skyrocket.
That actually
makes a lot of sense,
if you think about it.
Noelani mentioned that the vic
had bladder cancer,
so Jacobs finds out
his superstar client
is on the way out...
Right. And he's looking for
one last chance to cash in.
An original Brikz
captured in the wild
is easily worth six figures.
What do you mean, "captured"?
What? Do they chisel this thing
off the side of a building?
Chisel, chainsaw, whatever.
- Really?
- Yeah.
And our victim probably wasn't
too happy when he found out
what his agent was doing.
Definitely not.
They probably got in some
sort of confrontation,
things got heated...
Okay.
So Jacobs wants to bump up the
timetable on his clients death.
He hires a couple of shooters,
like he hired the vandals.
We got to find this guy.
I think I just did.
Look at this. According
to his financials,
Sterling Jacobs got here
one day after his client did.
He's rented a house in Makaha.
Lets go to Makaha.
Clear.
I got a body down here.
Oh, boy...
Yeah.
Is that Jacobs?
Yeah. And by the look of it,
he's been dead 24, 36 hours.
Which means that he couldn't
have killed his client.
Although,
I think we just found out
how our killer figured out
Brikz real identity.
Whoever did this to him...
electrical burns,
they pulled his fingernails out,
God knows what else.
These guys were pros.
Maybe Special Ops,
military intelligence.
What do players like that
want with someone
in the art world?
Junior, go ahead.
I think Ive IDd
Brikz accomplice.
The lab was able to separate
the double images of her
that we found in the warehouse,
enough to run
facial recognition.
I got a hit on
an INTERPOL Red Notice
for a Nicaraguan national,
Teresa Estrada.
What's she wanted for?
Terrorism.
I did it. Im in.
My son was 19.
Esteban never hurt anyone.
He only spoke out
when he saw others being hurt.
And for that... one night,
he disappeared
from his dormitory...
stolen in the night
by these government men.
A month later, his body
was found in a well.
They...
They...
They butchered him.
Laptop has hours
of footage like this.
Looks like its from
a documentary
that Brikz was making.
He wanted the world
to hear Teresas story
so that she could
set the record straight.
About what?
Teresa Estrada is no terrorist,
shes a dissident artist.
She makes street art
in her native Nicaragua
that protests
government corruption.
To protect her identity,
she goes by the name of Fenix.
After Esteban was murdered,
I knew I had to carry on
his fight,
calling out the monsters
who oppress and slaughter
their own people.
Powerful stuff.
Yeah. She made some
powerful enemies, too,
including this guy,
Arturo Granera.
He's a top official in
Nicaraguas Directorate
of Intelligence Affairs.
According
to State Department intel,
Graneras ruthless
and highly ambitious.
Has his eye set
on the presidency.
Anyone who gets in his way
tends to go missing.
Geez. First Teresas
son, now Teresa.
Its like pissing this guy
off runs in the family.
Granera must have known it was
her behind the protest pieces.
Right? He sends a team out here
to track her down.
Wait. We ran
James Coopers
travel records back before
we knew he was "Brikz."
There. Look.
He was in Costa Rica
a couple of months ago.
Nicaraguas right next door.
Guy with money like that,
it wouldn't be hard
to get Teresas papers
and then smuggle her back
into the States.
Looks like Brikz knew
he was at the end of the road,
so decided
to make a difference
on the way out.
Okay. Heres one
thing I don't get:
So Teresa is an enemy
of the state,
so why not just take her out on
the roof and be done with it?
Cause Granera wants
to bring her in alive.
I agree with Junior.
I mean, for somebody like her,
somebody whos... whos
embarrassed Granera personally,
the best thing he can do
is discredit and diminish.
Show trial. Long, slow
death in a dark cell.
Which also means that
even though the strike team
did get there before us,
we still have a chance
to intercept
before they take her off Oahu.
Unless they already have.
We got to find that strike team.
Okay, how?
Joe White. Joe White had
a friend in the Agency
in Nicaragua.
Im gonna make a call.

Hiya, pal.
Gentlemen, excuse me...
Games closed
unless you have an invitation.
Yeah? Well, mines engraved.
Time to cash out, boys.
Recognize this guy?
I know if we
shut this game down,
you'll just pop up in a few days
at another location,
but that's a major pain
in the ass,
not to mention the lost revenue.
So why don't you do yourself
and the both of us a favor here
and answer the question?
Yeah, I know him.
Or knew him, I should say.
His names Earl Whitaker.
Won big last night, too.
Cashed out early, around 2:00,
maybe 3:00.
You notice
if anybody followed
him when he left? No.
Next person to leave wasn't
for another hour or so.
See, Earl was strangled...
which leads us to believe
that this was something
of a more personal nature.
Were gonna need to find out
some more about his life.
How much time you two got?
Just... skip to the juicy parts.
Okay. Well, lets see,
for starters, he cheated
on his taxes...
I know that for a fact.
And Whitaker,
this guy would always brag
about how he wouldn't declare
a dime of his winnings.
Oh, and speaking of cheating,
he wasn't always the
most faithful guy
to his ex-wife
and his girlfriend.
Yo, Jerry, you get that link?
Calling it up now, Commander.
We need it now.
Please tell me
Joes spy friend got a hit.
He did. The CIA
just intercepted
a live video signal
transmitting from Oahu
to the Directorate
of Intelligence offices
in Managua.
This is happening now?
Yeah.
Remote interrogation.
Guaranteed Granera
and his goons are
on the other side of this.
So Im guessing
they decided against
taking her back to Nicaragua.
Yeah, they must know
that every cop on this island
is after Teresa,
so the safer play is to get
- the confession now.
- Yeah.
And once they do,
they're gonna kill her.
Shes saying shes guilty
of crimes against the state...
This is obviously coerced.
Im guessing they have
some kind of leverage.
Other than all the guns
pointed at her head?
Yeah, Im talking
about loved ones and relatives
that are in danger.
I mean, you saw the way
that she speaks about her son.
Everything this woman does
is for her family.
I just sent you the contact
to Joes man in Nicaragua.
I want you to give him a call,
have him look into her family
in-country, please.
Copy.
Jerry, where are we at
tracing the signal.
- Please. Come on.
- Well, its being route?
Through an anonymizer.
I mean,
we can get there...
its just gonna take time.
I mean, time,
we don't have time.
Theres thousands
of high-end homes
on this island... they
could be in any one of em.
Hold on.
Look at that.
That looks like a painting.
Think you can pull
another rabbit out of your hat?
I can try.
Its a little tough to make out
from this angle, but...
it bears a striking resemblance
to...
Synesthesia,
by prominent local artist
Mahealani Chang.
Jerry, can you help him
find out who bought this?
We got to get an address.
How does a Nicaraguan
strike team
end up in the home
of an art collector on Oahu?
You said you only found
one sleeping bag
in that warehouse, right?
Its possible Teresa
was staying somewhere else.
Yeah, I mean, Brikz has
connections to the art world.
Maybe he put her up with
a patron of the arts,
someone who sympathizes
with her cause.
Got it. Found the buyer.
They live at Akulikuli
Terrace over in Black Point.
All right, Tani, with me.
Jerry, drop a pin,
send it to our phones.
- Five-O!
- ¿Qué pasó?
Everybody down!
On the ground, right now!
Come with me. Come on. Come on.
Everythings gonna be okay.
Five-O.
Case dismissed.
Victoria Whitaker? Five-O.
What's up?
What do you want?
Cops already told me
Earl was killed.
Yeah, but we figured wed
stop by, see if you can help
clear some things up for us.
You see, we pulled
your phone records.
You received a text last night
right around your
ex-husbands time of death.
A text that happens
to have been sent
by the dealer of the game
he was playing in.
He told us
that you bribed him
into contacting you
should Earl start winning big.
Before you accuse me
of something, you should know
I was home last night.
We know.
That's why wed like to talk
to your boyfriend.
Do you know where he is?
No. I mean...
I-I haven't even seen him
in, like, a week.
Hey!
Admire the effort.
The execution... not so much.
So...
Teresa is being granted asylum.
Yeah. And thanks to
McGarretts CIA friend,
so is the grandmother that
she left in Nicaragua.
- Her
- abuela?
- Yeah.
- That is great.
Mm-hmm.
I love that word,
abuela.
- Its a great word.
- Mm.
So, why did you invite me here?
You-you made it very clear
that its not a date.
This is for you.
George Davis? Whos that?
He is the lawyer that's
handling Brikzs estate.
Apparently, he set aside
a huge chunk of money
to start a foundation
for dissident artists,
and they need someone to run it,
and I put out your name.
Tani, I-I don't know
what to say.
Wh-Why me?
You mentioned that
your only skill was
copying other artists.
I don't know if that's
true, but if it is,
then why don't you
do it one last time?
Why don't you copy Brikz and
pick up where he left off?
I know that you can do this.
And I know you'll be good at it.
Cause you're talented.
Wait, are you sure
this isnt a date?
I mean, Im gonna take that back.
Yeah. Never mind.
Never mind.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Cheers.
Thank you.
So, if this isnt a date,
can we plan one for tomorrow?
Hirsch, please don't ruin
this beautiful moment.

Duke. What do we got?
A dead window washer.
And I take it that if were here,
it wasn't an accident, right?
Definitely not.
The rig came down
because the line was cut.
Got a name?
Not yet. He was discovered
early this morning.
No ID or phone on him.
Only thing in his pocket
was a set of keys.
Were trying to match them
with the vehicles in the area.
Fabrique Window Washing Hawaii.
We call this company,
might be able to tell us
who this guy is.
Tanis trying
to get a hold of them now.
I also got officers
taking statements.
See if anyone was here
last night and saw something.
Okay.
So, uh, what do we think?
Why kill a window washer?
This-this guy
spends all day
looking into windows.
Maybe he saw something
he wasn't supposed to.
Maybe.
Maybe he had beef that was
completely unrelated to his job.
They made it look like
a work accident.
Yeah.
Any luck getting a name?
I actually cant get a hold
of Fabrique Window Washing
Hawaii because the company
doesn't exist.
So what was this guy
doing up there?
So, HPD matched
those keys
that were found in the
vics pocket to a van
that was parked nearby,
and its registered
to this individual.
Meet your wannabe window washer.
Fellow by the name
of James Cooper.
Now, Coopers a corporate
consultant based out of Miami.
We don't have a local address
on him yet.
But the address
on that registration is
to a vacant lot in Kawailoa.
So this guy has a fake address,
works for a fake company,
and he's 6,000 miles away
from home.
I contacted Miami PD.
I asked them
to go by the guys apartment.
The doorman there says the guy
hasn't been there
in almost a year.
Hmm.
Okay, so,
what's this guy been doing?
Well, I checked his travel
records, you know, just to see
how long he's been
on the island.
This guy is a regular
globe-trotter.
In the last year,
he's been to Boston,
Atlanta, London,
San José in Costa Rica
before landing here
two months ago.
He's a consultant.
Maybe he's going
from client to client.
- Right?
- Yeah.
Maybe the consultant thing...
I think its a cover.
The guys here
snooping around this building
in the middle of the night.
More like he's-he's casing it
for a robbery.
Pretty ingenious
way to get access,
posing as a window washer.
All right, Junior,
do me a favor.
Look into all the tenants
that have offices
in that building
and see if any of them
would be obvious targets,
all right?
Okay.
Also,
while you're at it,
reach out
to HPD Robbery Division.
See if theres been any
high-end burglaries recently.
Please.
Copy.
Tani, go ahead.
You're on speaker.
Hey.
Im on the roof with Jerry.
I can tell you the killers
were definitely here last night.
Im sorry.
Did you say "killers,"
as in plural?
Yeah. We got fresh shell casings
from two different guns.
Shots were definitely fired
before our vics rig was cut.
Okay. Didnt expect
to hear that.
Yeah. Theres also a lot
of footprints up here,
but fortunately,
the roof is white membrane,
so the silt impressions
are pretty clearly defined.
You said "bunch of footprints"?
Well, hell,
they can belong to anybody.
I mean,
what if its an office worker
who just went outside
for a smoke break?
The roof is restricted access,
so the only person that has
the key is the maintenance man.
Im guessing that our vic
probably picked the lock.
Lets say all those footprints
are from last night.
How long is it gonna take CSU
to sort through them?
Actually, Jerrys
covering that right now.
Is that right?
I got a crime scene
modeling drone.
It'll render a 3-D map
of the entire rooftop,
which should give us
the depth, angle
and sole pattern
of every footprint up here.
Well, looks like
your new toy picked up
five distinct sets
of footprints now,
but one of thems
all over the place.
Yeah, Im thinking that's
the maintenance man,
so Im gonna eliminate that.
These prints match the shoes
of our victim.
They're, uh,
they're concentrated
at the edge of the roof,
which makes sense,
cause that's where he
was setting up his rig.
Two other sets of footprints
emerge on the roof.
Tani, whered you say you found
those shell casings?
Right here.
Well, that makes sense.
They see Cooper.
They start firing.
Yeah, then Cooper
tries to escape.
Tries to get on the rig,
slide down the side
of the building,
and then our attackers
cut the line.
And Mr. Cooper
is quickly introduced
to the sidewalk.
Okay. H-Hold up,
hold up. I got...
I got two sets of prints here
that belong to our assailants.
I got those.
We got one set of prints that
belongs to our victim here.
But what about this other set...
that move away from the action
towards the south exit?
According to the program,
those are smaller
and made a shallower impression,
most likely female.
The balls of the feet
were the deepest.
She was running away
from the attackers.
So, if she was with the victim,
what are we thinking?
An accomplice?
Well, whoever she was,
she took the fire escape.
You know what this means?
We have an eyewitness.
Were gonna get the answers
we want soon as we find her.
Yeah, unless the killers
find her first.
Turns out there are quite a few
things of note
about your window washer.
First, before the fall,
he sustained
a nonfatal bullet wound
to the back of the shoulder.
Wow, buddy, you had some luck.
Survive a gunshot wound
only to plummet to your death.
Well, the irony is that
even if the fall
hadn't killed him,
he still wouldve died
within a few months.
How so?
Late-stage bladder cancer.
His lungs show traces
of toluene.
Its a chemical used in fuels,
solvents
and other industrial products.
Prolonged exposure to it has
been linked to bladder cancer,
but this is where it get weird.
It wasn't until I washed off
the blood that I noticed
his fingerprints,
or the lack thereof.
It looks like
he burned them off with acid.
Not to speak ill of
the dead, but that
is downright disgusting.
Well, its pretty effective,
too, though. I mean,
if this guys a thief,
it pays to have fingers
that don't leave a print.
The more we learn
about Old Sticky Fingers,
the more about him
just screams "burglar."
So, I looked into all
the offices in that building,
and none of them look like
high-value burglary targets.
You know, you got CPAs,
investment consultants.
One company makes kids TV.
Uh-huh.
Ill bet he wasn't in it
for the alphabet cartoons.
Yeah, Ill tell you
something else.
Theres an easier way
to get financial records
than hanging off the side
of a building.
Just the man
I was about to call.
Plus two. CSU processed the van,
and they found a garage door
clicker in the glove box.
Does it have an address on it?
Cause I-I don't know if
that's gonna help, Jer.
You know, unless you want us
driving around the island
pointing the clicker
at random garages.
Well, we don't have to
cover the whole island.
There are empty cups
from Kope Kahuna Cafe
in the van.
We also found a couple receipts
from gas stations,
and using those locations,
I was able to narrow
the search area
to this half mile-radius
in Kapolei.
And I cloned
the clickers signal so
we can cover more ground faster.
All right, Jerry, Junior,
get these clickers to HPD.
Help them with the canvass.
Please, let us know
if you get a hit.
Field work. Sweet.
Yeah, Adam, what's good?
Hmm. Okay.
Well, text me the address.
So, we got a body off Iwilei.
Adams gonna need a little
help with the scene.
Busy day out there today.
Bad never rests, baby.
Neither do we.
Yes, sir.
So, you get an ID
on old Shirtless
Joe Jackson here?
Not yet. His wallets gone,
and his prints
aren't in the system.
Yeah, well,
at least he had prints.
What?
Long story.
Go on.
Okay.
So, sanitation worker
found the body.
ME says he was strangled.
TOD was sometime
around 3:00 a.m.
He was strangled, all right.
Look at those ligature
marks there. All right,
not very unusual to find a man
shirtless on Oahu,
but look at his slacks
and shoes.
Clearly this guy was dressed
for an evening out,
not a beach barbecue.
- That's what I was thinking.
- Right.
You know, the wallet, I get it.
But why literally steal
the shirt off the guys back?
Have a theory on that.
Maybe what they stole
wasn't any ordinary shirt.
You see this button?
This buttons made of bamboo.
So, what-what is this?
Some eco-friendly trend
I don't know about?
Are you serious?
The shirt this button came
from was no ordinary shirt.
It was a shirt that is
impervious to any trend.
It was a work of fine art.
And if you're looking
for the finest, my friend,
theres only one game in town.
So this is where you get
your endless collection
of Aloha shirts, huh?
Yeah, well,
we all weren't blessed
with the Noshimuri cheekbones
there, Adam.
You see, some of us have
to make a little effort
to-to look good.
Very little effort,
- mind you.
- Right.
Lou.
My man.
Hey. Been a minute,
my friend.
What can I help you with today?
Unfortunately, um,
I need your help
with a homicide investigation.
Take a look at this button.

Guess that means
its worth real money.
Couple grand, at least,
especially here.
You thinking our perp might show
up here, trying to unload it?
I hope so.
There are a couple
other places he can go,
but we can have HPD sit
on those.
Thing is,
if the killer knew enough
about this shirt
to recognize its value...
Then they'd know
where to get top dollar.
Boom.

Joons, what's going on?
Its nothing.
Come on.
When I was with my dad
this morning,
we found my sisters
old charm bracelet
from when she was ten.
Well, that's not nothing.
You know, after the accident,
you know, when my dad
had told me what had happened
and that Maya was gone...
...he didn't cry.
Not once.
In a weird way,
it was... it was kind of good,
because he was like my rock.
You know, you couldve thrown
anything at him
and it wouldve bounced
right back off.
But now its...
Well, you're older,
and you know how much
pain he must be in.
Yeah. And still,
he's like a brick wall.
Like, you shouldve seen the way
he shoved this bracelet
into his pocket,
like it was just, like,
a receipt or something.
Wait, are you telling me
that a man that you share
DNA with doesn't like
talking about his feelings?
That's... Im sorry,
can you fan me so I don't faint?
Cause Im driving, so...
Yeah, thank you. Okay.
Good? Yeah.
That's much better. Yeah.
Reigns.
All right. Got it.
Its Pua.
They found the place.
What do we know, Pua?
My partner and I kept eyes
on front and back.
No ones gone in or out.
Okay, so if our mystery woman
really was Coopers accomplice
and she came back here
after everything
on the roof went south,
that means she could
still be in here.
Good work, Pua.
You want to do the honors?
Looks like someones living here.
Maybe that someones
behind Door Number One.
What the hell is that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Yo, yo, yo!
Get down! Get down!
You good?
Yeah. Can we get
some lights?
What the hell?
So, these are paint bombs,
apparently.
Yeah. They're rigged to go off
like a booby trap.
Look, they got mounted
paintball guns everywhere.
They're all pointed at the art.
Think its stolen?
No.
Look at this.
Stencils,
poster paper,
X-Acto knives.
Okay, looks like we had
this guy all wrong.
Cooper wasn't a thief.
He was an artist.
And, by the looks of it,
he was a graffiti artist.
Guess what's in spray paint.
Toluene.
Its what Noelani
found in his lungs.
Okay. So,
lets assume Cooper didn't go up
to the building to rob it.
He went there to tag it.
Question is,
whod want to kill
a street artist?
No idea.
But I know who to ask.
Uh-huh.
Interesting.
Guys, the-the picture,
so to speak,
is coming into focus.
You see the green-blue
shading pattern
o-on these pieces?
And in these stencils, the style
of the figures they create,
juxtaposing
an overarching aesthetic
of humanity and pathos.
Add to that
the paint bomb booby trap,
which clearly meant to obscure
the artwork and which speak
to our mystery artists famously
obsessive need for secrecy.
But the real clincher...
Oh, the clincher.
Yes, lets get
to the clincher,
because this is
a murder investigation
and not an art seminar.
The real clincher
is the signature
panda motif,
just visible here.
Th-Theres no doubt in my mind.
Ms. Rey, your investigation
has inadvertently solved
one of the great mysteries
of the modern art world.
You have found the studio
of the legendary Brikz!
Whos Brikz?
Brikz is an anonymous artist.
Works in secret,
mostly at night.
Along with Banksy
and maybe David Choe,
he's one of the top
street artists in the world.
One look at this image
and you'll see why.
- May-may I?
- Yeah.
- Wow.
- Wow.
Impressive.
Mm. I mean, illegal,
but impressive.
Yeah, but I-Im guessing
that the illegal aspect of this
is part of the appeal, right?
Oh, mass appeal.
In the space of a decade,
Brikz went from anonymous
young Turk tagger
to international gallery star.
And he really stayed anonymous
for that whole time?
Well, anonymity was part
of his brand.
It made him
very
famous.
And extremely rich.
Somebody knew who he was.
Somebody was with him
the night he was killed.
A woman.
As far as I understood,
the only person who knew
his real identity was
his art dealer, Sterling Jacobs.
Based in New York.
He handled all of Brikz sales
and publicity.
Okay, well,
its possible this guy
would have an idea of who
would want his client dead.
So, Junior, why don't you go
get onto this Jacobs guy?
See what he knows.
On it.
Oh, and something else
I can tell you.
I-I made some calls
on the way here.
It seems that a number
of Brikz pieces
recently started appearing here
in Honolulu.
Okay.
But as soon
as they went up,
they got defaced.
What do you mean, defaced?
Defaced how?
Ill show you.
A prominent local art critic
posted an image of one
of the defaced pieces yesterday.
So you're suggesting
that someone committed murder
over spray paint on a wall?
Crossing out someones work
like that is basically
a death threat.
So we find out who defaced
this guys art,
good chance we find our killer.
♪ Come on, now, break down
♪ Yeah
♪ Knowledge is born
when the deejay gets loose ♪
♪ You never see him sweat
but produce the def juice ♪
♪ Here in full effect,

This is the craziest thing
Ive ever agreed to.
All I know is our suspects
made sure to deface
every one of Brikz pieces.
If an undiscovered one comes up,
why wouldn't they hit that, too?
And Im pretty sure
this is gonna do the trick.
Wow. Its
actually...
Its actually pretty good.
Thanks. Its, uh...
what I do.
Now, to get the word out
via my Instagram.
Im not exactly an influencer,
but I do have enough followers
that word of my find
should get out pretty quickly.
"Just found.
"#Undiscovered #Brikz
"#Honolulu
#Kapolei."
#StopSayingHashtag.
Okay.
The trap is set.
Now we just wait.
You buy vintage shirts here,
right?
For a classic piece like that,
you want to talk
to our appraiser.
Hey.
You need an appraisal?
All right, let me
see what you got.
Sir, are you aware of
what you have here?
This is a 1950s Royal
Hawaiian "Hula Dancers"
in rayon.
We don't get stuff like this
coming through here often.
Huh. This is...
Uh-oh.
You're missing a button.
Uh...
Wait, w-wait.
I have an extra button here
that just might work. Let me...
Lucky day!
Its a perfect match.
Man, if I didn't know better,
Id swear this thing came
from this exact same shirt.
Yeah. W-What can I get for that?
Oh, Id say about 30 to life.
I didn't kill that dude.
I didn't kill that dude.
He was already dead
when I found him.
I swear.
I swear.
You have the right
to start running your mouth.
Tell us exactly what happened.
All right, all right.
I was at this
pai gow poker game, okay?
And that-and that dead dude
was there, too,
and he was on one hell
of a hot streak
cause he mustve won 20 grand
before he cashed out.
Did Mr. Hot Streak have a name?
Uh, Earl... something?
Look, it was my first time
at that game.
Uh, and it was definitely
my last.
When I finally went bust,
I went out the back,
and that dude, Earl,
was out there dead.
All right, I aint gonna lie.
I searched his pockets
but his roll was gone,
so whoever killed him
must have taken it.
So I just...
I just took what I could.
Meaning the shirt.
So, obviously, you knew
how valuable it was.
Well, Earl wouldn't shut up
about it the whole night.
He said he got it at an
estate sale for five bucks,
and now its worth
three or four grand.
I mean, how come stuff happens
to guys like him and never me?
If you want to turn
your luck around, pal,
tell us where you and Earl
played pai gow poker last night.
Damn.
I guess that means no luck, huh?
If I keep trying to hack
my way past this encryption,
the systems gonna
wipe all the data.
Im gonna have to take
this back to CSU.
The good news is theres
a fingerprint reader.
And this thing is covered
in fingerprints.
Hang on, I thought Brikz burned
his fingerprints off.
Which means that these might
belong to his accomplice.
And if shes an authorized user,
I could use her prints
to get access.
Did CSU already run em?
Yeah. Shes not in the system.
But Ill bet you dollars
to malasadas
that whatevers on this
hard drive can help us ID her.
Well, I think I already
beat you to it, buddy.
I found these in a drawer.
You know, most of them
are most likely reference shots,
of in-progress pieces,
but check this one out.
Oh, you think that's her?
Yeah, I hope so.
You know, I was thinking
we could run facial rec
if we can separate
those two images.
No doubt. Ill call the lab.
Make a reservation for two.
Wow. Almost 2,500 likes.
Looks like I am a bit of
an influencer after all.
You don't like me
very much, do you?
That's not true. I...
I like... your art.
I think...
I think you're talented,
you're talented.
Thanks.
But Im not really.
Well, come on.
You just whipped up
an "original" Brikz.
You fooled over
2,400 people so far.
That doesn't make me talented,
it makes me a good forger.
And profiting handsomely for it
from what Ive heard.
I made some money...
but I-I wasn't happy.
No matter how many people
my forgeries fooled,
I knew I was just like
my paintings:
a phony.
When I got arrested,
it was kind of a relief.
Cleaning up crime scenes
may not be glamorous, but...
at least I can look at myself
in the mirror every day.
That's something
not everyone can say.
Look at that.
Your scheme might
have actually worked.
Hey.
Get ready to come in.
Its the cops!
Get out of here!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Hey! Five-O! Stop!
Stop!
Cuff him.
Ow!
Dude, that really hurt.
Stay down.
Wow.
That was shockingly well done.
Uh, excuse me while I go throw
up and have a heart attack.
All right, boys,
turn around, please.
Congratulations,
you just defaced a fake Brikz.
I truly hope it was worth
the murder charge.
Wait, what?
We didn't murder anyone.
No. No. Im sure
he just flung himself
right off the roof, didn't he?
Brikz is dead?
And you think we killed him?
We got nothing but respect
for Brikz.
Mans a legend.
Is that why you were running
all over town
vandalizing his art?
This? We were
paid to do this.
But its not what you think.
The paint we use comes off.
I have a spray bottle
in my backpack. I can show you.
Okay. Dont move.
Okay, Mr. Clean,
show me.
Question: Why?
With what this guy pays,
we weren't asking.
All right.
Im gonna need a name.
Meet Sterling Jacobs,
Brikz agent.
I don't get it.
Why would this guy pay somebody
to deface one of his own
clients murals?
My guess, he's taking them off
the market
until a time
in the not-too-distant-future
when the value
is gonna skyrocket.
That actually
makes a lot of sense,
if you think about it.
Noelani mentioned that the vic
had bladder cancer,
so Jacobs finds out
his superstar client
is on the way out...
Right. And he's looking for
one last chance to cash in.
An original Brikz
captured in the wild
is easily worth six figures.
What do you mean, "captured"?
What? Do they chisel this thing
off the side of a building?
Chisel, chainsaw, whatever.
- Really?
- Yeah.
And our victim probably wasn't
too happy when he found out
what his agent was doing.
Definitely not.
They probably got in some
sort of confrontation,
things got heated...
Okay.
So Jacobs wants to bump up the
timetable on his clients death.
He hires a couple of shooters,
like he hired the vandals.
We got to find this guy.
I think I just did.
Look at this. According
to his financials,
Sterling Jacobs got here
one day after his client did.
He's rented a house in Makaha.
Lets go to Makaha.
Clear.
I got a body down here.
Oh, boy...
Yeah.
Is that Jacobs?
Yeah. And by the look of it,
he's been dead 24, 36 hours.
Which means that he couldn't
have killed his client.
Although,
I think we just found out
how our killer figured out
Brikz real identity.
Whoever did this to him...
electrical burns,
they pulled his fingernails out,
God knows what else.
These guys were pros.
Maybe Special Ops,
military intelligence.
What do players like that
want with someone
in the art world?
Junior, go ahead.
I think Ive IDd
Brikz accomplice.
The lab was able to separate
the double images of her
that we found in the warehouse,
enough to run
facial recognition.
I got a hit on
an INTERPOL Red Notice
for a Nicaraguan national,
Teresa Estrada.
What's she wanted for?
Terrorism.
I did it. Im in.
My son was 19.
Esteban never hurt anyone.
He only spoke out
when he saw others being hurt.
And for that... one night,
he disappeared
from his dormitory...
stolen in the night
by these government men.
A month later, his body
was found in a well.
They...
They...
They butchered him.
Laptop has hours
of footage like this.
Looks like its from
a documentary
that Brikz was making.
He wanted the world
to hear Teresas story
so that she could
set the record straight.
About what?
Teresa Estrada is no terrorist,
shes a dissident artist.
She makes street art
in her native Nicaragua
that protests
government corruption.
To protect her identity,
she goes by the name of Fenix.
After Esteban was murdered,
I knew I had to carry on
his fight,
calling out the monsters
who oppress and slaughter
their own people.
Powerful stuff.
Yeah. She made some
powerful enemies, too,
including this guy,
Arturo Granera.
He's a top official in
Nicaraguas Directorate
of Intelligence Affairs.
According
to State Department intel,
Graneras ruthless
and highly ambitious.
Has his eye set
on the presidency.
Anyone who gets in his way
tends to go missing.
Geez. First Teresas
son, now Teresa.
Its like pissing this guy
off runs in the family.
Granera must have known it was
her behind the protest pieces.
Right? He sends a team out here
to track her down.
Wait. We ran
James Coopers
travel records back before
we knew he was "Brikz."
There. Look.
He was in Costa Rica
a couple of months ago.
Nicaraguas right next door.
Guy with money like that,
it wouldn't be hard
to get Teresas papers
and then smuggle her back
into the States.
Looks like Brikz knew
he was at the end of the road,
so decided
to make a difference
on the way out.
Okay. Heres one
thing I don't get:
So Teresa is an enemy
of the state,
so why not just take her out on
the roof and be done with it?
Cause Granera wants
to bring her in alive.
I agree with Junior.
I mean, for somebody like her,
somebody whos... whos
embarrassed Granera personally,
the best thing he can do
is discredit and diminish.
Show trial. Long, slow
death in a dark cell.
Which also means that
even though the strike team
did get there before us,
we still have a chance
to intercept
before they take her off Oahu.
Unless they already have.
We got to find that strike team.
Okay, how?
Joe White. Joe White had
a friend in the Agency
in Nicaragua.
Im gonna make a call.
♪ Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
♪ Woo-hoo,
woo-hoo-hoo ♪
♪ Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
♪ Woo-hoo,
woo-hoo-hoo... ♪
Hiya, pal.
Gentlemen, excuse me...
Games closed
unless you have an invitation.
Yeah? Well, mines engraved.
Time to cash out, boys.
Recognize this guy?
I know if we
shut this game down,
you'll just pop up in a few days
at another location,
but that's a major pain
in the ass,
not to mention the lost revenue.
So why don't you do yourself
and the both of us a favor here
and answer the question?
Yeah, I know him.
Or knew him, I should say.
His names Earl Whitaker.
Won big last night, too.
Cashed out early, around 2:00,
maybe 3:00.
You notice
if anybody followed
him when he left? No.
Next person to leave wasn't
for another hour or so.
See, Earl was strangled...
which leads us to believe
that this was something
of a more personal nature.
Were gonna need to find out
some more about his life.
How much time you two got?
Just... skip to the juicy parts.
Okay. Well, lets see,
for starters, he cheated
on his taxes...
I know that for a fact.
And Whitaker,
this guy would always brag
about how he wouldn't declare
a dime of his winnings.
Oh, and speaking of cheating,
he wasn't always the
most faithful guy
to his ex-wife
and his girlfriend.
Yo, Jerry, you get that link?
Calling it up now, Commander.
We need it now.
Please tell me
Joes spy friend got a hit.
He did. The CIA
just intercepted
a live video signal
transmitting from Oahu
to the Directorate
of Intelligence offices
in Managua.
This is happening now?
Yeah.
Remote interrogation.
Guaranteed Granera
and his goons are
on the other side of this.
So Im guessing
they decided against
taking her back to Nicaragua.
Yeah, they must know
that every cop on this island
is after Teresa,
so the safer play is to get
- the confession now.
- Yeah.
And once they do,
they're gonna kill her.
Shes saying shes guilty
of crimes against the state...
This is obviously coerced.
Im guessing they have
some kind of leverage.
Other than all the guns
pointed at her head?
Yeah, Im talking
about loved ones and relatives
that are in danger.
I mean, you saw the way
that she speaks about her son.
Everything this woman does
is for her family.
I just sent you the contact
to Joes man in Nicaragua.
I want you to give him a call,
have him look into her family
in-country, please.
Copy.
Jerry, where are we at
tracing the signal.
- Please. Come on.
- Well, its being route?
Through an anonymizer.
I mean,
we can get there...
its just gonna take time.
I mean, time,
we don't have time.
Theres thousands
of high-end homes
on this island... they
could be in any one of em.
Hold on.
Look at that.
That looks like a painting.
Think you can pull
another rabbit out of your hat?
I can try.
Its a little tough to make out
from this angle, but...
it bears a striking resemblance
to...
Synesthesia,
by prominent local artist
Mahealani Chang.
Jerry, can you help him
find out who bought this?
We got to get an address.
How does a Nicaraguan
strike team
end up in the home
of an art collector on Oahu?
You said you only found
one sleeping bag
in that warehouse, right?
Its possible Teresa
was staying somewhere else.
Yeah, I mean, Brikz has
connections to the art world.
Maybe he put her up with
a patron of the arts,
someone who sympathizes
with her cause.
Got it. Found the buyer.
They live at Akulikuli
Terrace over in Black Point.
All right, Tani, with me.
Jerry, drop a pin,
send it to our phones.
- Five-O!
- ¿Qué pasó?
Everybody down!
On the ground, right now!
Come with me. Come on. Come on.
Everythings gonna be okay.
Five-O.
Case dismissed.
Victoria Whitaker? Five-O.
What's up?
What do you want?
Cops already told me
Earl was killed.
Yeah, but we figured wed
stop by, see if you can help
clear some things up for us.
You see, we pulled
your phone records.
You received a text last night
right around your
ex-husbands time of death.
A text that happens
to have been sent
by the dealer of the game
he was playing in.
He told us
that you bribed him
into contacting you
should Earl start winning big.
Before you accuse me
of something, you should know
I was home last night.
We know.
That's why wed like to talk
to your boyfriend.
Do you know where he is?
No. I mean...
I-I haven't even seen him
in, like, a week.
Hey!
Admire the effort.
The execution... not so much.
So...
Teresa is being granted asylum.
Yeah. And thanks to
McGarretts CIA friend,
so is the grandmother that
she left in Nicaragua.
- Her
- abuela?
- Yeah.
- That is great.
Mm-hmm.
I love that word,
abuela.
- Its a great word.
- Mm.
So, why did you invite me here?
You-you made it very clear
that its not a date.
This is for you.
George Davis? Whos that?
He is the lawyer that's
handling Brikzs estate.
Apparently, he set aside
a huge chunk of money
to start a foundation
for dissident artists,
and they need someone to run it,
and I put out your name.
Tani, I-I don't know
what to say.
Wh-Why me?
You mentioned that
your only skill was
copying other artists.
I don't know if that's
true, but if it is,
then why don't you
do it one last time?
Why don't you copy Brikz and
pick up where he left off?
I know that you can do this.
And I know you'll be good at it.
Cause you're talented.
Wait, are you sure
this isnt a date?
I mean, Im gonna take that back.
Yeah. Never mind.
Never mind.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Cheers.
Thank you.
So, if this isnt a date,
can we plan one for tomorrow?
Hirsch, please don't ruin
this beautiful moment.
