Yo.

Nah, false alarm.



Yo, keep moving.

Kid, you need to leave now.

Is that any way to treat
a paying customer?

$150, just like we agreed.

Wait, hold on.
You're the buyer?

This was a bad idea before,
now it's a really bad idea.

I thought that you might
say that. Um...

Brah, she's, like, 15.
We can't do this.

Well?

You do whatever
you want, man.

Pleasure doing
business with you.

Easy there, kid.
That ain't a toy.

OPERATOR:
911. What is your emergency?

[siren chirps]

Spend all day cleaning up
after a baby,

and tonight I get to clean up
our fine feral friend here.

Well, if you took this job
for glamour and excitement,

you're gonna be disappointed.

And I suppose,
since you outrank me,

I'm gonna be the one
mopping up pig guts.

Unfortunately, this is
a two-man job.

[gunshot]Don't!

Do as I say,

and you'll have a chance
to live.

Hey. Oh!

Man.

Hilo, it's good
to see you, my man.

How you doing?Aw... Wow.

You really stepped up.

A long way from sleeping

on a cot at St. Augustine's.Yeah.

Hey, uh, what about you, man?

You still, uh, sleeping
at the shelter?

I try.

You know, just to keep me out
of trouble most of the time,

at least.

Hilo... what's going on?

I did something really
stupid yesterday.

What type of gun?

A revolver--
a .38, old.

You, uh, you didn't-- you didn't
get the girl's name, right?

No.

JUNIOR: But he did
give a description,

and I've already alerted HPD.

Get that description
to all the other high schools

on the Island, all right,
then tighten their security.

You know, school shootings are
rarely female, and it's a .38.

A six-shot revolver is not
usually the weapon of choice.

I'm sorry, man,
I should've stopped it.Hey, hey.

This guy that you know
that set up the sale,

how do we find him?

The money that Ioane got
for the gun

will keep him high
for two or three days.

I wouldn't count on him

showing his face
until the drugs run out.

DANNY:
I got a question.
This guy set it up.

Right? So why was he surprised
to see a teenage girl?

Ioane thought he was smart
and-and super anonymous.

He-he set up the buy
at the website.

I don't know the name,
but I do know that

he used a computer
at a public library in Wai'anae.

Junior, have Adam and Jerry
head over there.

Pull the files of
all the computers,

see if they can help us
I.D. this girl.

Have him sit down
with a sketch artist,

see if he can come up
with a composite.

On it. Hilo, with me.

I'm gonna reach out to HPD,

have them, uh, alert us
to any and all activity

that involves a .38 slug
on the Island.

Ah, you know,
look, she, ah,

obviously went through a lot
of trouble to get that gun.

She probably has a plan.

STEVE: Yeah, and we probably
should find her

before she implements it.

[Hawaii Five-O
theme song playing]

Make the call.

I'm not going
to ask you again.

[line ringing]

[ringing][on TV]: Oh, look, Teddy,

a real clown.

DORIS: Steven, honey, can
you please turn that down?

Well, Chief, I, uh...

Never mind.

Just a moment, please.

John, the phone's
for you.

That was quite a stunt.

Say, you're the star
of The Captain Outrageous Show.

This is John McGarrett.

LUKELA [over phone]:
He's got a gun on me.

He wants you to meet him.

Got it.

I'm on my way.

Hey... I have to go to work.

Take care of your mom
while I'm gone, okay?

Okay?

I have to go.
I love you.

DORIS:
John, if something was wrong,

you would tell
me, right?

JOHN: I'm not gonna lie
to you. I don't know.

Just lock the
door behind me.

I'll try to call you as soon
as I get this straightened out.

[door opens, shuts]

As I live and breathe.

Let him go, Hester.

Don't worry, you're
gonna be all right.

You heard me, cut him loose.

I'm here now, alone, unarmed.

Didn't call it in,
just like you asked.

You're such a good boy, John.

.38. I take it that's the
murder weapon we never found.

The very one.

I stashed it well

and picked it up
the day I got out.

Should've had you on murder
instead of man 2.

Ten years was light.

I shouldn't have served a day.

He was stealing from me.

From a company we
built together.

Besides, it was--
it was self-defense.

A jury of your peers disagreed.

Ten years, John.

Long time.

More than enough to
lose... everything.

The company, for one.
I'm broke.

My wife... left.

My son stopped talking to me.

Prefers his new dad.
Or so I'm told.

Honestly, I don't blame him.

You made sure he grew up
without a father.

[thunder rumbles]

Heard you have a boy
of your own.

Steve, right?

CSU found a slug. .38.

It was fired at close range.

Single gunshot to the chest.

The slug's in pretty bad
condition, so it's unlikely

we're gonna get
a ballistics hit.

[siren approaching]

So, our girl buys a .38,
and less than 24 hours later,

this guy's shot dead with one?

Well, not too many .38s
on the street these days.

I'd say she's more
than likely our shooter.

We I.D. the vic?Yeah.

Michael Carrigan, 43.

He's got a bunch of priors,
including misdemeanor assault

and B and E.

He also had his license
suspended for a DUI,

which might explain
why he's out here

drinking in the early hours
of the morning.

There's a liquor store within
walking distance from here.

Well, this looks to me like
a regular drinking spot here.

I mean, if this was
a premeditated hit,

then it would explain

how our shooter knew
where to find him, no?

TANI:
Yeah, I agree.

Assuming it was our
teenage girl,

what's the connection
with this guy, then?

Junior described her
as suburban, clean-cut.

Yeah, clean-cut, carrying a .38.

STEVE:
Yeah, with one less bullet
in it.

JUNIOR:
Okay, so sketch artist
just sent this over.

HPD's distributing this image
to all schools island-wide.

And they are also going
to keep Hilo on ice

until this thing plays out.

Well, in the meantime,
I looked a little deeper

into our vic Michael Carrigan.

Carrigan was single,
he had no kids.

His last known address
was with his grandmother.

He was stacking boxes
in a warehouse,

and when I talked to his boss,

he told me that he was
well liked, hard-working,

never had any problems
with anybody that he knew of.

He worked the graveyard shift
last night,

knocked off 7:00 a.m.

He gets off work,
goes and buys a bottle,

then finds a nice place
to drink it,

then gets capped by
a kid in junior high.

Hey, so I just got off
the phone with Noelani.

Approximate time of death
was 9:00 a.m.

She also was able to determine
his blood alcohol level: .17.

Wow, he was wasted.Also,

Noelani found blood
and skin tissue

under his fingernails.

It typed as female DNA
not in the system.

GROVER:
Yet another piece of evidence

pointing to our Ms. Jane Doe
as the shooter.

This still doesn't explain
why she wanted him killed.

We got to dig deeper.

We got to find
some connective tissue

between this guy and our UnSub.

Until then, we need
to focus on

getting that gun off the street.

Yes, yes, it was
a really good flight.

You know why it was
a good flight?

Because they didn't lose
my luggage.

All right, monkey,
time for bed.

I love you very much,

and I can't wait
to see you tomorrow.

All right?
All right, monkey, good night.

My man.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean
to startle you.

You have anything, um, like,

substantial to eat
in this place?

Yeah, right over there.Right here?

I don't know what that is.Spam musubi.

Sorry? Can't
even say that.

You have anything that comes
from a cow maybe?

Yeah, try the freezer. We have
some White Castle there.

Oh, good.And the microwave's
over by the ice chest.

Okay. Great.

You here on vacation?

Uh, no, I, uh, start
a new job here tomorrow.

Uh, this island
grows on you.

That's what I hear,
that's what I hear.

Try taking the tie off.
That might be a start.

Yeah, I-I hear that, too.

Give me the cash! Now!

Come on!

Come on!

[cash register beeping]

Excuse me, sir.Shut up!

Okay.

All right.
Just, I-I...

Hey! You got a death wish?No, no, no.

Shut up.Okay.

Just relax, please.
Just stay calm.

You can run, nobody's gonna
see you, nobody knows...

All right,
relax, relax.

Relax, just relax.

Hands up!

[microwave beeps][gasps]

[gasps]

No, no, no, no![gunshot]

[woman screams]

Hey, hey. Come here,
come here.

Come here. Listen to me.
I want you to keep

pressure on this, okay,
until the ambulance gets here.

Do not let up on this
until the ambulance gets here,

you understand? You're gonna be
okay, all right? All right?

[glass shatters][car alarm blaring]

HPD! Come out
with your hands up!

[grunts]

Hey! HPD. Stop.

Stop!

[panting]

Son of a bitch.

[phone dialing]

OPERATOR:
911. What is your emergency?

Yeah, this is
Detective Danny Williams.

I don't have
a badge number yet.

Failed pursuit of the gunman
from the robbery on Colburn.

Suspect is armed with a .38.
Last seen at the corner of...

Mokauea... and Ahuula.

I don't, I don't know
where I am.

Dispatching units to the area
immediately, Detective.

[phone beeps]

Please tell me you got something
from the library.

Yeah, a lot.
We found the computer

Hilo's friend used
to sell the gun.

Web history shows he listed it
on a shady website,

uh, it's kind of
a wannabe Armslist.

The buyer's account
was created four days ago.

He used a dummy
e-mail account,

but I think I can trace
the IP address.

Here we go.

Uh, it traces back to Wilkinson
High School. Looks like

the e-mail was sent from
their computer lab.

Wilkinson is a public school
out in Wahiawa.

There's easily over
1,000 students there.We got to reach out

to the school right away. Get a
copy of their yearbook, and get

Junior's friend back up
here to make an I.D.

OWEN:
So, uh,

what's this about?

Before we get into it, uh,
I've been trying to get

in touch with
Bonnie's mom.

I can't seem to get
ahold of her.

You know where she is?Sh...

Like he would have any idea. No.

They only communicate
through lawyers.

[sighs]

I, uh, I-I don't know, sorry.

Can you guys just tell me
why I was dragged out of class?

Yeah.

This man's name
is Michael Carrigan.

Okay. So?

Uh, he was killed
this morning. Uh,

the gun used
was a-a .38.

STEVE: You see,
the thing is, Bonnie,

we have somebody who was present

at the gun sale yesterday.
They say

you bought that
gun in Waialua

off a junkie.Wait, wait, wait, what?

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

Uh, hang on a second here.
You're accusing

my-my daughter of murder
based on what?

The gun sale
was arranged online,

and we traced
the buyer's IP address

to a computer at this school.
Okay, we also have

an eyewitness who was there

and said Bonnie bought that gun,
so I have to ask you again,

Bonnie, how do you know
Michael Carrigan?

I don't.

DANNY: Well, we'd like
to do a-a DNA test,

uh, to rule you out, also a
thing called a cordite test

where we check your clothes
for, uh, gunshot residue.

No, no. She's not
submitting to anything.

I'm sorry,
Mr. Pearsen,

we're, uh, we're-we're
not done here.

No, I think we are. All you have
is the word of a drug addict

and-and a computer at a school

with over 1,000 kids
in it, right?

So unless you're
willing to put the cuffs
on my daughter right now,

conversation's over.

Now, I got to get back

to work, all right?
Come on, Bonnie.

I'm taking you home.

ADAM: We scoured Bonnie's
e-mail, social media accounts,

the works. Nothing as far
as a connection to our victim,

so we started looking
into her parents.

Her dad's not active on the
interwebs, but her mom is,

especially
on Facebook.

Three weeks ago,
Kiana Pearsen posted this photo.

It's of her and Bonnie at a
restaurant, along with this guy.

Michael Carrigan.TANI: Wow, chummy.

Looks like Bonnie's mom
was dating our vic.

Right, so why'd she claim
she didn't know him?

Hey, Jerry, where are we at
with tracking the mother?

I tried pinging her phone
but it's off.

I'm gonna have to pull
call records and see
what that gets us.

I'll get her picture out
to ports and airports.

Okay, good.
Let's get a search team

over to the mother's house.
Tani,

grab Junior, head to
the father's house.

We need to bring Bonnie in.

Hey!WOMAN: Hey!

Hi!What's up, girl?

Hey!Hey, how are you?

How was your shift?Pretty good.

I'm glad you're

MAN: Yeah.[gunshot]

[people screaming][gunshots continue]

WOMAN:
Is that a gunshot?

MALEKO: Yeah, little man
nailed it again.

[laughs]MAN: Get 'em, brah.

Yo, I want one of these.Koa? What are you doing here?

KOA:
Just...

Where the hell did you get that?MALEKO: From me. Relax,

Tani, kid's just got to have
a little fun.

Is someone talking to you?

DAMIEN: Everybody chill.Back up right now.

Everybody chill.Get out of my face.

Maleko, that ain't cool, man.

This boy don't need
to be playing with a heater.

Baby bro, give it here.

Give me the .38.TANI: Koa.

Give him the gun now.

Okay.

It's all good, right?

Let's head back inside,
have another drink.

I'm taking you home.

What? What? Come on, no.Shut up. Get inside now.

Come on, but it
just started.

Walk, Koa. Shut up.It's not a big deal.

Call me after.

All right.

Couldn't sleep?

Yeah, something
like that.

[sighs] Look,

I said I was sorry.

I spoke to the boys.
They know Koa's not in the game.

They better.

Look, Damien,

I know what you do,
but I don't want to get

my brother anywhere
near that.

And he won't be, on my word.

I love you.

Listen.

Last night,
when I was leaving,

I saw you

give the gun
back to Maleko.

What did you
say to him?

Nothing.Yeah?

'Cause I could've sworn that I
heard you say, "Call me after."

After what?

Baby, I don't even know
what you're talking about.

You must've
heard me wrong.

Okay?

[knocking on door]

[knocking continues]

[pounding on door]

Good morning, Mr. Bautista.

I'm Detective
Belden, HPD.

My partner, Detective Iosua.

Your friend Maleko Pane, seems
he was spotted in the vicinity

of a gun homicide last night.
The victim

was from a crew that's been
beefing with yours.

[echoing]:
This ring any bells?

DANNY:
Hey, Bonnie.

All right, so you, uh,
you lied to us.

I didn't kill him, I swear.

But... okay, yeah,

I did know him.

TANI: Now that we're all
telling the truth,

do you want to tell us, uh,
where we can find your mother?

I don't know. I've been calling
and texting her ever since

you came to my school,
but I can't get through.

Hold her in the bullpen. We'll
talk when her dad gets here.

No, no, no-- I, I can't talk
about this in front of him.

Please, he has no idea.

Listen, I-I bought
the gun, okay?

Why don't you take a seat?

I waited until last night
to move it to my mom's house

when I knew that
that scumbag

would be at work.DANNY:
Scumbag is, uh,

Michael Carrigan?

TANI:
All right, so,

CSU's at your mother's place
right now.

Would you be able to direct
them to where the gun is?

Um, my bedroom closet.
There's a loose floorboard.

STEVE:
So, Bonnie, why'd
you buy a gun?

He beats her.

The past few weeks,
it's gotten a lot worse.

The other day,
he knocked her unconscious.

I was worried
that he would kill her.

So I figured that the next time
he laid a hand on her...

You'd kill him first?

Okay.

Does your father know that-that
Carrigan beat your mother?

He didn't even know
that she had a boyfriend.

Yeah, I-I didn't
tell him anything because

I didn't want it
to be used against my mom

in the divorce.

I-I don't understand.

She has issues--
uh, drinking, pills, too--

just stuff that could be used
against her in a custody battle.

Look, it's-it's not
that my dad's a bad guy,

he's really not, it's just...

I-I don't want to see my mom
any less than I already do.

Okay.

CSU checked the stash spot.
No gun.

BONNIE:
No, it,

it has to be there.
You have to believe me,

I did not kill him.

Guys, a word?

Give us a minute, Bonnie, okay?
Just stay here.

So there's another angle
to this.

Parents always know where
their kids' stash spot is.

My dad knew where mine was.

Right. So her mom
really knows where hers is.

STEVE:
All right, so we're
thinking Kiana,

she actually finds the gun
and then, fresh off a beating

from this monster,
she uses it

and kills the guy.

JUNIOR: So chances
are, when we do

get the match back from
the female blood and tissue

from our vic's fingernails, it's
not gonna come back to Bonnie,

it'll be her mom.We need to find this woman, now.

We searched Maleko's place.
No gun.

Look, um... Detective,
I-I saw him with the gun.

My boyfriend
called it a .38.

I don't know what
he did with it after...

We arrested him for murder.

We found other evidence
in Maleko's place.

Without you
coming forward,

we never would have
gotten a warrant.

You should feel good
about doing the right thing.

Yeah, I'll let you know
when that kicks in.

Tani.

You're smart.

So here's some advice I hope
you're smart enough to take.

Use this opportunity
to get as far away

from these people as you can.

It's actually not about me,
it's about my brother.

Well, I'd make it
about both of you.

Maybe you know this, maybe
you don't, but Damien's crew

is making a power grab to take
down a set of local dealers.

It's only gonna
get bloodier from here.

Kiana Pearsen's cell records

indicate she placed
one call this morning,

25 minutes before
Michael Carrigan's T.O.D.,

and look who it was to.

DANNY:
The ex-husband.

Okay, that's very interesting,
because Bonnie said

that her folks only spoke
through lawyers.TANI: Yeah, well,

they hadn't spoken, at least not
by cell phone, in over a year,

up until this phone call
that clocked in

just over two
and a half minutes.

Okay, so what are we thinking?
This is her calling him

and telling him that Carrigan's
been knocking her around?

JERRY:
Certainly appears so.

Because mere moments
after Carrigan was killed,

Owen Pearsen calls her back.

Said call lasted

38 seconds.STEVE:
That's him calling her

saying "I dealt
with the problem."DANNY: Well,

why don't we ask him
if that's true?

He's on his way here now
to talk to his daughter.

[elevator chimes]

Owen Pearsen.

Where's my daughter?

We'll get to that later.
Right now, you're under arrest

for the murder of
Michael Carrigan.
Turn around.

What are you talking about?
No, I'm not doing...Put your hands behind your back.

What are you talking about?Give me that hand.

Come on, man,
it's not what you think.

Yep. Never is.

[zip tie tightens]

Let's go.

Mr. Pearsen, the .38 was exactly
where you said it would be.

Our techs confirmed that it was in fact the murder weapon,

so why don't you, uh, why don't
you tell us what happened?

DANNY:
Oh, we got,
we got ideas,

but we'd like to hear it
from you, if that's okay.

Uh...

I guess it-it started with a...

a phone call from my ex-wife.

She was scared, you know?

Um... Now, I-I don't know

if either of you
guys are married,

but even when
it goes south,

you can't shut off some of those
feelings, you know?

The-the ones that go
right into the core.

And what, you go over to the
ex-wife's house, you tell her

you're gonna take care
of the problem, right?

Kiana guides you to the gun
that she found in Bonnie's room,

or how does that work?

No, no, no, that's not
what happened at all.

No, no-- Kiana had no
idea about any gun.

Neither of us did.

Um, I-I guess that-that Bonnie,
you know, got ahold of it

and then, and then
hid it in her room.

It was that scumbag
Carrigan who found it

when he raided her room looking
for her allowance money.

Wait a minute, this guy was,
this guy was stealing

his girlfriend's kid's money?

This is the guy we're
talking about, yeah, yeah.

I mean, apparently,
he comes home,

uh, looking for drinking money,
you know?

Kiana tries to stop him from
going into Bonnie's room,

he wails on her and goes
into the room anyway,

and within a few minutes,
he's gone.

And that's when she called you?

Yeah. Yeah, I told her
I'd have a word with him.

Look, I was mad as hell, man,
but I did not leave that house

thinking I was
gonna kill the guy.

Kiana told me where
he liked to drink.

I-I figured
I'd go over there and,

you know, slap him around
a little bit, you know?

Like, give him a taste
of his own medicine.

He was, he was pretty hammered
when I got there.

And next thing I know,
he pulls out the gun.

And it was, it was instinct.
I-I knew I had

to get it away from him
or I'd wind up dead.

We fought over it for a bit,
and it accidentally went off.

[gunshot]

[sighs]

I just assumed
the gun was his.

I had no idea Bonnie
was even involved

until you guys showed up
at her school.

STEVE:
So then, what,
you call your ex-wife then

and tell her what had happened.

And then she runs,
is that right?

She never would have run if she
had known Bonnie was involved.

Despite
Kiana's issues,

she loves our daughter
unconditionally, for sure.

DANNY:
You know where she is?

Right now? Any idea?No.

But I can give you the name
of a few of her friends.

I doubt she'd go very far.

We need to speak with Kiana.

Kiana Pearsen,
we're with Five-O.

TANI:
We spoke with
your ex-husband.

I'm sure you know
why we're here.

Mm-hmm.We're gonna need
to get a statement.

Do you think that would be okay?

[sniffles]

Kiana...

once we get
something down,

if you'd like, I can introduce
you to someone who can help.

[crying]

Okay.

[elevator chimes]

You get a statement
from the mother?

Signed, sealed, delivered.

Um, so long as his story
checks out, I can't imagine

a judge is gonna give Owen
Pearsen much jail time.

STEVE:
Hey, Junior,

reach out to HPD, have
them bring Pearsen in

for booking, please.Yeah, I already did,

but there's something else
you need to see here.

The lab sent over their
ballistics report on our .38.

TANI:
Please tell me it matches

the slug from the murder scene.

Oh, it's a match for our scene,
along with 14 others.

Wait a minute,
you're saying this one gun

is linked to 14 crimes?

JUNIOR:
Mm-hmm. And these are just
the ones we know about.

It's called a community gun,

and the reason
they're so valuable

is because they
get passed around

so much that the cops have

almost no way
of knowing

who was in possession of
the damn thing when a crime

is committed.STEVE: HPD ran

the ballistics and they all
lined up with the same gun.

Some of these cases
are over 40 years old.

46, actually.
A lot of them are still open.

Including one of mine.

Pull up the one on the right.

STEVE:
Is that the convenience store
on Colburn?

When I flew in here, the first
night I got here, I went to get

a bite to eat,
and the shop owner

was-was shot with this gun,
apparently.

On your first night in Hawaii,
you were involved in a robbery?

I'm a lucky guy,
what can I say?

Wow. Kind of getting
the shivers.

That's eerie.

Like, quantum-level
interconnected eerie.

Did the store owner make it?DANNY: No.

He died on the way
to the hospital.

Uh, I worked the case for a
long time, came up with nothing.

The trace on the gun,
empty, nothing.

I think I may be
able to help you.

The guy who had
this gun

in 2015 is in Halawa.

I know that because
I put him there.

I think we can trace

the chain of ownership and
find out who owned it in 2010.

JERRY:
Okay,

tell me you're not at least
a little freaked out now?

These aren't
just 14 random crimes.

We're linked to two of them.

Three.

Jerry, do me a favor,
pull this one up.

[echoes]:
My father worked on this case.

Heard you have
a boy of your own.

Steve, right?

That's right.

Well, he comes from hardy stock.

I'm sure he'll,
he'll find his way.

Wait, wait.

I came out here on good faith.

We had an understanding you were
to send this young man home.

Understanding?

We could never have
an understanding, John.

You've done too much harm.

Spread too much pain
with how stubborn you are.

You never let
anything go, just like,

like during my trial.

When everything
was about to break my way.

You! You and you alone.

You couldn't let it go.

You just, you dug and
you dug and you dug

until you found something
that told those people

what they needed to hear.

So I took a page
out of your book.

I didn't give up.

And now, I'm the dog
with the bone

and here we are.

We are indeed.

But you leave him out of it.

You have a score you want
to settle, Hester?

Settle it with me.

If you insist.

[grunting]No!

[grunting]

[groaning]

[coughing]

[groaning]

[panting][groaning]

[groans]

[groaning continues]

Go-- he's getting away.

Settle down, man. You got shot.

I'm gonna try
to stop the bleeding.

Hey.
[groans]

What's your name, man?

Duke.

Listen, Duke,
I'm not gonna lie to you, man.

You're in bad shape.

All right? But you got
a fighting chance

if we get out of here right now.

And I'm a fighter.
Okay?

Are you? Huh?

Huh?
All right.

[groans]LUKELA:
It's been 36 years

since I talked
about that night.

Your father and I...

certainly never discussed it.

He saved my life.

Despite that,
it still felt like a defeat.

[exhales] I'm sorry
about your partner.

Thank you, Steve.

He was a good cop.

I remember that night.

I was six years old.

There was something
about that phone call.

The look
on my father's face when

he left the house that night,
what he said to me...

I just knew something was wrong.

JOHN:
Listen, Steve, um...

Last night I had to leave
because someone was in trouble.

That's what I do.

And the truth is...

...there's a lot
of bad people out there.

And sometimes
decent folks get hurt.

My job's to try
to stop that from happening.

That night, that was
the first time I, uh,

I really understood...

what my old man did every day.

What he risked.

I understood, at that point...

that there was something more
important than himself.

Hmm.

[chuckles]
What's that they say

about the apple? Hmm?

Falling from the tree?

[chuckles]Hmm?

Did you guys ever get a lead?

No.

Not that we stopped looking.

I still keep a copy
of the file on my desk.

I look at it
from time to time but...

it's always...

just dead ends.

Duke... we got the gun,
which means...

we have the serial number.

I mean, it's possible,
after all these years,

you could actually get your man.

Okay. We're five minutes out.

Thank you.

All right,
Halawa's gonna put

Maleko in the box
for us.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

You seem good.
You seem very chipper.

I know it's crazy, but a...

small part of me just still

feels like a snitch, you know?

Like I sold out
my people.

Okay, that's, that's ridiculous.

They were not your people
to begin with, okay?

And y-you probably saved
your brother's life

by pulling him out of there.

I assume this guy,
he has no idea

that you're the one
who put him in jail?

No. No, he doesn't.

A couple days later,
I broke up with Damien.

He had this
wandering eye,

so that gave me the cover
I needed to break it off clean.

Although, it wasn't
exactly clean,

'cause I trashed
his place, like,

really good before I left.

And then as far as

Maleko's arrest...

I don't think anyone
had any idea.

And then six months later,
I joined the Academy.

And here we are.

Here we are.It's very, uh, it's weird.

What do you mean?
Why is it weird?

The gun that
had you join the HPD

is the same gun
that almost got me killed

when I first arrived here,
you know? Little weird.

Yeah, you're right.
That is weird.

Right?[phone rings]

What's up, Steve?

STEVE: Hey, Danny, you got me and Duke

on, uh, on speaker here.

You guys at the prison yet?No.

We're, like, five minutes out.
What's up with the .38?

You find the original
owner yet?Yes.

Check this out. That gun
was originally registered

in 1971. The woman
is still alive

and well on the North Shore.

TANI: Did she know Hester?No, not personally.

But she did sell the gun
to him in 1972.

Still had the original
sales slip.

Got to love a hoarder.

LUKELA:
Hester had an alias.

One that HPD didn't know about,
so it's not in the file.

Turns out that that alias
has popped up a few times since.

Most recently two years ago
on a lease agreement

in California.

So I guess that means
you're going to California.

Yeah, we're on the way
to the airstrip now.

Okay. Happy hunting.

Thanks, pal. You, too.

Your hair got long.What can I say?

Time marches on.

A shame about Damien.

Yeah, we all make
choices, don't we?

I thought you got booted

out of the Academy.

DANNY:
Yeah, that's old news, too.

I'd actually like to
get past all that.

Could we, could we
talk about your gun?

What, that? That's not my gun.

Oh. Uh, not-not now,

obviously,
but it was

in 2015.

No, never seen it before.
Sorry.

All right, Maleko,
here's the thing. [sighs]

So this very gun

was used in a homicide
this morning.

What, you think I did it?

DANNY:
Mm-mm. No, knowing

your alibi, it's gonna
probably check out.

Anyway, she's gonna ask you
a question. If you answer it,

I will make
a phone call

and, uh,

I promise you your stay
here will get better

if I make that
phone call.

Why don't you take us
down memory lane?

Where'd you get that gun?

Hmm?

DANNY:
How you doing, man?

Oh, welcome.
You're early.

The service doesn't start
till 6:00.

We're actually not here
for the service.

Uh, I'm Detective
Danny Williams.

This is my partner,

Tani Rey.

How can I help you?

You don't, you don't
recognize me, huh?

Yeah, I-I don't really
recognize you, either,

'cause last time I saw you,
you were wearing a ski mask.

But I do recognize
that tattoo on your wrist.

You, uh,
your remember this?

The guy who bought it from you
sold you out.

So turn around
and put your hands
behind your back.

I did unforgiveable things.

But that night changed me.

You know, two months later
I found, I found God.

Uh, I started sweeping
the floors at this place.

Worked my way up to head usher.

Good for you.
Good for you.

You know, there's an active
community of worship

in Halawa, you're gonna
fit right in.

Come on.

All right, this is it,
Duke, you ready?Ready.

Let's go.

When I move,

you take the rear.

[clattering nearby]

[gunshots]

[groans]

[groaning]

[panting]

Duke! Yo, Duke.

Scott Hester.

This is John McGarrett's son.

And my name

is Duke Lukela.

[echoing]:
Remember me?
