Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 10, Episode 10 - Tsunami - full transcript

A group of geology students known as "The Brain Trust" engineer a fake tsunami warning, which is taken seriously because of memories of a devastating real-life tsunami in the islands. Their motives are to make all of the population of Honolulu run for the hills; then, posing as rescue workers, they will knock over a jewelry store for $6 million in gems. When one of the students, guilt-ridden over injuring a passer-by during the theft of an ambulance, decides to go to Five-O and spill the beans, he is followed to the Iolani Palace and gunned down (with a silenced pistol) within fifty steps of the Five-0 offices -- which sends an irate McGarrett on the trail of the rest of the Brain Trust.

[ALARM WAILING]

- Look at that traffic.
- That was the governor.

He ordered us to coordinate
with military and civil defense.

The people of Hawaii
will be expecting

one of the biggest
tidal waves in its history.

Such a report would
create incredible panic.

- What about looters?
- Oh, they're inevitable, Danno.

They move out in
about five minutes.

- How much time, doctor?
- It should hit in about ten minutes.

[SIREN WAILING]

Somebody, stop that ambulance.



[TIRES SQUEALING]

Hey, stop. Stop.

[GRUNTS]

- You hit him, we got to stop.
- No, move.

Uh, turn on the siren.

Hey, we can't leave him
here, he may be dying.

Drive, Larry. Drive.

[SIREN WAILING]

All right, ahem, the
important thing to remember

is that once Kenji and Shirley take
their positions here at 1500 hours,

every move becomes critical.

We have exactly 83 minutes
to move in and get out.

The car rolls at 1359,

and Charley Fuzz-Wheels here
follows at a two-minute interval.



Mike, Ted's only trying to
make sure we don't blow it,

and there's only 24 hours left.

I know, I know.

But I haven't crammed
so hard for anything

since Professor Solomon's final.

Yeah, well, Mike,
just try and remember,

this is a
6-million-dollar final.

[CAR HORN HONKING]

Oh, it looks like they're back
ahead of schedule, let's go.

Did you have any trouble?

Uh, just a little, but it went
just the way you said it would.

KENJI: Not hardly.

We hit one of the
ambulance attendants.

SHIRLEY: Look, it couldn't be
helped, he jumped in front of us.

Besides, the radio
said he's all right.

KENJI: All right?

The man's in critical condition.

You know what we're
charged with if we're caught?

Kenji, we're not
going to get caught.

Yeah, your perfect plan.

You said no one
was gonna get hurt,

and the first real move
we make, it goes sour.

What do you want,
Kenji? A guarantee?

I thought I had one,
I had Ted's word.

Kenji, it sounds like
it was an accident.

It was.

Well, that accident just turned
joyriding into a hit-and-run,

and if that attendant dies, it's
a murder charge for all of us.

From now on, you count me out.

- Hey, Kenji.
- Ted, don't worry, I can talk to him.

Kenji, listen. I'm sorry
about what happened.

You're not sorry.

You may fool Ted,
but you don't fool me.

You enjoyed it.

I was there, remember?

SHIRLEY: Uh... Kenji.

Kenji, we're about to pull the
craziest heist the world has ever seen.

You can't walk out on us now.

Oh, yes, I can. And I'll
tell you something else:

I'm closing this
thing down right now.

I'm not spending the
rest of my life behind bars

because of some
thrill-crazy chick.

What are you talking
about? Come on, Kenji.

Ke... Kenji.

Kenji.

God, Larry, we
gotta follow Kenji.

- What's up?
- We have to follow Kenji.

Drive.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

- What's going on?
- He's flipped.

We have to catch up
to him and talk to him.

Hey, Kenji. Hold up.

He's going to Five-0. Come on.

Kenji. Kenji.

- Larry, you've got to stop him.
- Oh, I can't do it.

Bastard.

SHIRLEY: Kenji.
- Knock it off.

What I'm doing is better for
everybody and you know it.

[GROANS]

God, what did you do?

SHIRLEY: Come on, hurry.

Move.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

A young man murdered right
down there on our own steps,

and there's not a single
witness? Is that possible?

DANNY: The gun must have
had a silencer on it, Steve.

Nobody noticed
anything until the boy fell.

The boy's name
was Kenji Tatsumo.

He moved from the
address on his license

but we found out he's a
student at the university.

Danno, take Chin and some
H.P.D. and get up to the campus.

Duke, talk to the boy's parents. I want
some answers and I want them now.

Right.

Oh, I'll be at Pearl Harbor with
the admiral if you wanna reach me.

Okay.

TED: Why did you do it?

SHIRLEY: Someone had to.

He would've
destroyed everything.

He was gonna put us all
in jail to save his own neck.

Believe me, Ted, we
tried to talk him out of it.

Larry?

I don't know. It all
happened pretty fast.

[SIGHS]

Okay.

Okay, maybe it was wrong.

But I was scared and
there was no time to think.

I was only thinking of you
and Larry and the rest of us.

Yeah, I know.

I understand.

But I don't know
about the others.

What do you think, Larry?
Will they stay in line?

I don't know.

Look, they don't have to
know that Larry and I did it.

Nobody saw us.

[SIGHS]

We have to tell them something.

Well, we could tell them that
we don't know what happened.

We never caught up with Kenji.

It could work, Ted.

What they don't know,
they can't talk about.

All we need is one more day.

And once we're through,
we get out of the islands.

We can go anywhere we want.

I don't know.

Without Kenji, I don't
know if we can pull it off.

You can take Kenji's place.

You're an expert in geophysics.

You'll have to
cover my end, Larry.

I can handle it.

- Ha, ha.
- Okay.

We'll talk to the others.

Remind them we're
gonna split 6 million.

All they have to do
is stick for 24 hours.

Okay.

It's so hard to believe.

Kenji was such a nice young
man and he was a brilliant student.

Do you know who
his friends were?

I'm sorry, I don't.

This is a very large university,

but the registrar can tell you
his address and his teachers.

I understand he
was on scholarship.

Yes, uh... Yes, he was.

Geophysics, I believe.

Well, you've been very
kind, dean. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Check it out. Here
comes the heat.

LARRY: Cool it.

- Williams, Five-0.
LARRY: Uh-huh.

ADRIENNE: Hey.

Certainly a step up
from the campus police.

You can arrest me anytime.

Show her the
search warrant, Chin.

Ted, hurry. They're
here already.

It's okay, I'm
finished. Let's go.

They wanna take a
look in Kenji's room.

Hi, I'm Ted Bonner,

and I want you to know
that Kenji was a good friend,

so any way we
can help, you got it.

Good.

Chin, check Kenji's room.

Yeah, it's upstairs.
First door to the right.

Nothing like this has ever
happened around here before,

and I've got to confess
that I feel partially guilty.

How so?

Well, I should've
talked to Kenji more.

He's been awfully quiet
lately. You know, melancholy.

But that's not altogether
unusual around here.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

Well, didn't they tell you?

The campus calls this
place the Brain Trust.

No IQ is under 130.

And everybody's unhappy?

Now, tell me, uh...

What was Kenji into that could've
caused someone to want to kill him?

Kenji?

Poor guy, the only thing he
was into was his textbooks

and, uh, long lonely walks.

He said it helped him meditate.

CHIN HO: Danny, take a look.

It's no Saturday-night special.

Here's some other stuff.

Terrorist propaganda.

A manual on plastic explosives.
It'll take a while to sort it all out.

- What do you know about this?
- Nothing, of course.

Nobody is into
that sort of stuff.

Well, it looks, uh, like
one person was for certain.

We're gonna search
the rest of the house.

Like I said, it's yours.

Uh, excuse me, officer.

I can't believe that Kenji
was into anything violent.

He's... That was
not the way he lived.

No, miss, uh, it
was the way he died.

See?

I told you we could handle them.

I'm sorry to wreck
your weekend plans,

but we're staying on this
till we get some answers.

Steve, I talked to
the boy's family.

They say Kenji never
fooled with guns as a kid,

let alone own one.

- Do you believe them?
- I'd have to say so.

They also said he was involved
in the anti-war movement

a few years back.

I checked it, he was.

A pacifist? Dislike of guns?

Doesn't exactly fit with Kenji

having been a member
of a terrorist group, does it?

Haven't gotten
anywhere with that, Steve.

If he was a member, it must be
some group we've never heard about.

What about this Brain Trust

he was supposed to be a
part of up at the university?

They checked out with flying colors.
All genius types, top of their class.

- Who did you talk to?
- Uh, mainly a Ted Bonner.

He's working on a Ph.D. in
Geophysics, same field as Kenji.

Seemed straight enough.

Che Fong pick up
anything on this weapon?

Yeah, it was stolen from a
collection a few months ago.

But the interesting thing
is there were no prints on it.

Nowhere, not even on the clip.

No prints could mean somebody
wiped it clean and then planted it.

Yeah.

Okay, Danno.

I want you to check
every militant organization

on the campus for
links to Kenji Tatsumo.

Right.

Ted.

What is it?

It's nearly 4:00.

I couldn't sleep.

[GROANS]

What is it? Kenji?

No, I just never bargained
for anything like this.

I planned it all to
go so smoothly.

I'm sorry.

Uh, if it will make things go easier
for you, you can leave me out.

It's not what happened
today. It's the whole thing.

I was wrong to begin
it in the first place.

Oh, no, Ted.

It's beautiful and it will work.

And everything will go
just the way you planned it.

[SCOFFS]

Planned it?

Shirley, it was a brainstorm.

The perfect crime. Well, it's
a long way from being perfect.

Oh, but it will be
after tomorrow.

And you'll have what a diploma
can never give you by itself.

How many years would it
take you to make the money

we're gonna have in one day?

Shirley, that's not
what this was all about.

I know.

I know, sweetheart.

But it will give you an opportunity
to work on more important things,

instead of spending 15
years as someone's assistant.

Ted, it's for both of us.

Come on, you're
gonna need your sleep.

And so am I.

Be careful with that thing.

Don't worry.

I've been practicing.

All right, now, you take this.

You never know
what we might run into.

Not sure I could use it.

The way things are worked
out, you won't have to.

TED: We'd like to have your
attention for the next couple of hours.

What is this, some sort of joke?

TED: No, it's exactly what it looks
like and you'd better take it seriously.

SHIRLEY: All of you
in the back, move.

TED: Not you, Bradford.

What...? Now, what can
you possibly want with us?

All we do here is
report earthquakes.

TED: Right, and that's
what you're gonna do,

only it won't exactly
be an earthquake.

- I don't understand.
SHIRLEY: You will.

You two, inside. Now.

Do as they say.

SHIRLEY: Lock it.

TED: All right, now one of the
things we know about you, Bradford,

is you can't see past
your nose without these.

[GROANS]

[SHIRLEY CHUCKLES]

Please, what is
it you want of me?

All right, come on.
Sit down, sit down.

We're gonna play a
little game of pretend.

Now, we're gonna pretend
that you just received

the following information which you
are gonna type into that computer.

"Attention, all stations.

Honolulu reports that,
due to seismic activity

epicentered at the Tonga trench,
175 degrees west longitude,

14 degrees south latitude,
a tsunami is forming.

Estimated time of arrival in Honolulu
approximately 3:22 p.m. this date."

What?

"Magnitude of the seismic
disturbance calculated at 8.5."

Sit down, Mr. Bradford.

In other words, in
about two hours,

the people of Hawaii
will be expecting

one of the biggest
tidal waves in its history.

You're crazy. Both of you.

When the tape comes
out of that computer,

you will send it by
teletype to all stations.

Such a report would
create incredible panic.

- I won't send it.
- Yes, you will.

If you and your associates
in there wanna stay alive.

But you couldn't
get away with it.

The military would soon know
there was no seismic disturbance.

Look, it'll take them about two
hours to discover that it's a false report.

That's all we want.

Bradford, we know
what we're doing.

This is the center for
all seismological reports,

coming in and going out, and
what you say is taken as gospel.

Now get to work and
nobody will be hurt.

Start typing.

Bradford, start typing!

"Attention, all stations."

[CHURCH BELL RINGING]

[RADIO BEEPING]

2643, Dr. Sartain here.

WOMAN [OVER RADIO]:
2643, Honolulu mobile.

Stand by for an emergency call.

Dr. Sartain,

we have an undersea earthquake
epicentered on the Tonga trench.

Yes, Bradford. From the south?

Yes, sir, 8.5.

My God, that will hit Honolulu.

Have you double-checked
your computer?

Yes, sir.

We have the epicenter exactly.

All right, now listen.

Get the wives and
children off the grounds.

Yes, sir.

Honolulu mobile, 2643, this
is Dr. Sartain in an emergency.

WOMAN [OVER RADIO]: Go ahead.

Connect me with General Crawford
at the Honolulu Operations Center.

Do you have any idea of the
chaos this is going to cause?

[ALARM WAILING]

Hey, listen.

The alert signal.

Oh, Ted.

I'm excited.

Yeah, I know.

McGARRETT: Yes, sir.
- That's the first-stage alert.

Yes, sir. Right away.

We're on top of it.

- Look at that traffic.
- That was the governor.

He ordered us to coordinate
with military and civil defense.

We have, uh, one
hour and 55 minutes.

Let's get over to the
emergency center.

MAN [OVER SPEAKER]:
Attention. Attention.

This is civil defense.

The Honolulu Observatory has
issued a tsunami warning for this island.

Sirens will sound at two hours,
one hour and one-half hour

before the estimated
time of arrival of the wave.

This is a potential
inundation area.

Move away from this
area to higher ground.

Do not re-enter this area until
advised that it is safe to do so.

[MAN SPEAKING IN FOREIGN
LANGUAGE ON SPEAKER]

[CHATTERING]

How are we doing?

Uh...

They should be in the garage now,
they move out in about five minutes.

Oh...

Okay. It's the H hour.

Now, you all know what to do.

You and Adrienne
better get moving.

Make sure you stick
to Ted's timetable.

- I'll be right behind you.
- You'd better be.

Good afternoon.

I'm speaking to you

from the emergency
operations center in Honolulu,

where the evacuation of the
South Shore is being coordinated.

Now, in a short time,

you should hear the
sirens all over the city

giving off a wavering tone.

That will be the
signal to evacuate.

There should be no
panic, injuries or deaths,

if you follow
instructions carefully.

Now, with me today
is Dr. Dimitri Sartain,

who is responsible for
the tsunami warning system

of the entire Pacific area.

Doctor.

Thank you.

For those of you not
familiar with tsunamis,

what we have here is an
earthquake in the ocean floor.

Now, when that happens,

an enormous amount of
water is displaced upwards.

Now, that displacement
can be represented here

by the water forced to
the lower edge of this pan.

Then, when the ocean
settles back to normal,

a wave, or tsunami, is
caused to travel at great speed

and hit with tremendous
force against the shoreline.

- Doctor. SARTAIN: Yes?

At what speed would you estimate
the tsunami is headed for us?

Six hundred miles an
hour, depending on depth.

Now, of course, that speed
will be reduced considerably

once the wave hits shallow
water near the shore.

But it is not just one wave.

The effect is exactly like that
of a pebble dropped into a pond,

creating a series of waves,

and often, the first wave is
not the most destructive one.

So it's very important that you
must stay in places of safety

until the all-clear is given.

Thank you, doctor.

Here in Oahu,

the airport area,
downtown Honolulu,

Waikiki and Kohala
area are all threatened.

Now, it's important that
you follow instructions

and move to high ground
at least a mile inland.

The, uh, National Guard, fire
department and police department

will be able to
assist you, thank you.

[ALARM WAILING]

MAN [OVER SPEAKER]: You
must leave your homes immediately.

Move inland to higher
ground at least one mile.

Those without transportation

can walk to a neighborhood
evacuation centers

where transportation
will be provided.

MAN [ON TV]: Traffic is
moving in an orderly fashion.

Civilian and military
personnel are working...

[WHISPERS] Ted.
There's a truck outside.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] Whose is it?

It must be Keller, my associate.
Probably come for an update.

Well, get rid of him.

And be convincing.

We'll be listening
to every word.

Dave?

KELLER: What's the latest?

Uh, there is no further
seismic disturbance...

Dave, you'd better
move your family out.

Well, we're moving out,
you wanna come with us?

No. No, uh...

We'll wait here while it's safe.

KELLER: What
happened to your glasses?

Uh, I broke one of the lenses.
I have an extra pair at home.

- Well, good luck.
BRADFORD: Good luck to you.

Okay, you did your
job, Mr. Bradford.

Now, just go sit
down and wait it out.

We have busses waiting
for Flight 409 on the runway.

Get those passengers
evacuated immediately.

Get a tug to tow it out, the
harbor has to be cleared.

Who's in charge of liaison
with water and power?

They're planning to watch it
come in? Get them out of there.

- What about looters?
- Oh, they're inevitable, Danno.

We'll use all available police and
military units until the last minute,

then we'll get them out.

But after that, there's not
much we can do about it.

MAN [ON TV]: Crushed and
broken buildings torn up roadways,

a scarred and
devastated landscape,

an earthquake, a hurricane,
a wartime bombing?

No. Just the aftermath of another
of nature's moments of terrible fury.

The scenes you have just
viewed are those of a tidal wave,

a tsunami which
struck Hilo in 1958.

The tsunami which
now threatens Hawaii

is expected to
strike Waikiki at 3:22.

That's an approximate
time, but in the past,

these estimates have
never been known to vary

more than five to ten minutes.

There are scattered reports of
panic in the many luxury hotels,

but evacuation procedures
are reported to be orderly.

- Hang on.
- I want a chopper at the pad.

They're not getting enough people
out of Nanakuli, not enough personnel.

Okay, get in touch with the
Coast Guard station at Kaena Point.

- See who they can spare.
- Right.

- And Danno?
- Yeah.

Take this. Doctor.

Uh, Dr. Sartain and I are
gonna take a helicopter ride

over the threatened area.

You're in charge here, but
stay in radio contact with us.

We'll get in touch with the Coast
Guard station at Kaena Point.

How are we doing?

Five more minutes,
we're right on schedule.

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

- How much time, doctor?
- It should hit in about ten minutes.

First thing we'll see is
the waterline receding.

McGARRETT:
Strange. It looks so calm.

Don't be deceived, it looks
very calm and normal now,

but when that wave
hits the shallow waters,

it can attain a height
of up to 100 feet,

and hit the shoreline
with devastating force.

How far do you figure
it will move inland?

Hard to say. A
quarter-mile maybe.

Let's hope you're wrong.

Aristotle 1 to Aristotle 2.

Ground zero dead
ahead, all clear so far.

Aristotle 2.

Aristotle 1, we read you.
Two minutes behind you, out.

McGarrett, it's time, the
water should be receding.

Williams to McGarrett.
Williams to McGarrett.

Yeah, Danno. Go
ahead, this is McGarrett.

Steve, there's seem to
be some confusion here.

The military's received no
confirmation on the seismic disturbance.

What the hell does
that mean? Spell it out.

I mean, no other seismograph
has picked it up, just ours.

- How could that be?
- I don't understand that.

Could your people at the observatory
have made a mistake, doctor?

Absolutely not. Ron
Bradford is a total professional.

In addition to that, at least two
other Pacific seismograph stations

must confirm the reading before
the epicenter can be calculated.

Under those conditions, a
mistake would be impossible.

Have you tried the observatory?

I can't get through.
The line seems to be out.

- Well, what about radio?
- That's not operating either.

Danno, Meet me at
the helipad in, uh...

Inside Diamond Head
crater as soon as possible.

We're coming back.

[ALARM RINGING]

Okay, hold it.

Hands up against the wall. Move.

[SIREN WAILING]

You guys need any help?

No, it's okay. We got
them both, they're just kids.

Great, but you'd better get moving.
That wave is due any time now.

We're on our way.

Could you call the
station? Our radio is out.

- Sure, no problem.
- Okay, we'll take these suspects in.

- Great. LARRY: Okay.

Okay, we got five
minutes. Now, let's move.

I'll be right back.

- I've got a hunch, Danno.
DANNY: Should I get H.P.D. backup?

No, no, not yet.
Hunch might be wrong.

- Come on, it's time to get out of here.
- Okay, start the car.

I'll watch him.

Here comes the big stuff.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

McGARRETT: Open up. Five-0.

Ju... Just...

McGARRETT: Open up.
- I'm coming, just a moment.

I'm coming.

[GROANS]

What happened?

Two people with guns, they
forced us to send out a phony alert.

[BANGING ON DOOR]

Oh. There are some
people locked in that closet.

Could you please let them out?

Did you get a good
look at them? Sit down.

Well, they broke my glasses.
I can't see without them.

Then you can't
give us a description.

I know. Uh... But
one was a girl.

- Anything else?
- Uh, that's about all.

Except that they sounded young.

One was a girl and
they sounded young.

DANNY: Come on out.

- Are you people all right?
WOMAN: Yes, we're fine.

Mr. Bradford, are you all right?

- Let's go, Danno.
- I think I will be when I can see again.

Danno, get on the radio.

Call off the alert, get every
available unit back into town.

The tsunami's a phony

and somebody's trying
to pull something big.

The ambulance is here.

- Well, what about the rest of this?
- We've got plenty, let's go.

Let's go. Come on.

Well, that's it, Steve.

There were isolated looting attempts,
but the only major try was some kids

trying to knock over
Staddler's Jewelry Store.

- Kids? CHIN HO:
Yeah, college age.

But they got them.

Find out where they're
being held, Chin.

We'll meet you at Staddler's.

[SIREN WAILING]

Wait till Ted and
Shirley see this.

Steve, I gave you a bum steer.

Those kids looted this place.

There's no record of them
being booked anywhere.

Looks like somebody
did a real number on us.

Looks like somebody did
a number on the whole city.

A 20-minute stroll
and we're home free.

- We cut it pretty close.
- Ha. It was perfect.

You were terrific.

Ha, as a matter of fact,
we both were terrific.

We don't know how
the others came out.

Don't worry, Ted,
the hard part is over.

- And the best part's yet to come.
- I hope so.

ADRIENNE: We did it. LARRY:
Take it easy, it's not over yet.

We stash the
jewels like Ted said.

When he and Shirley are
safe, then we celebrate.

You still have to ditch the ambulance,
so don't lose your concentration.

Gotcha.

Steve's in the back, Duke.

Steve, checked out those
cars in front, both are stolen.

Somebody did an expert job
painting that blue and white.

Brazen, aren't they.

Duke, call all the checkpoints
in the evacuated area.

I wanna know every
vehicle that passed through

in the last 20 minutes.

Boy.

These people sure
took their time, Steve.

Cleaned everything out: display
cases, front windows, drawers.

All they left were the watches.

- Get in touch with the
owner? CHIN HO: Yeah.

He said that there was 6
million in jewels in his safe.

Slickest thing I ever saw.

McGARRETT: Yes, it is.

They made us
believe the tsunami.

The bizarre hoax is
believed by authorities

to be tied in to the robbery
of Staddler's Jewelry

of over $6 million.

- They figured it out.
- Ha, ha.

Smart.

Here they come.

- How did it go?
- Beautiful, a walk in the park.

I told you. I told you
it would be like this.

- Any loose ends?
- None that I know of.

SHIRLEY: Hmm.
- Well, here's to it.

Here's to you.

Here's to us.

Danno.

What about the H.P.D.
officers who were tricked?

- Can they tell us anything?
- Still being questioned.

So far, nothing startling.

Except all the suspects
seemed to be pretty young.

Yeah.

According to Dr. Bradford,

the two who took over
the observatory were too.

DUKE: Steve.

I called the checkpoints.

Nothing went through
except an ambulance,

H.P.D., national
guard, civil defense.

An ambulance?

- Which checkpoint?
- Halikaro Street.

That's less than
half a mile from here.

Are you thinking about that
ambulance that was stolen yesterday?

Yeah, they had to
move at least four people.

That would be a clever way to
get four people through a checkpoint

without being
questioned, wouldn't it?

And the reports on the stolen
ambulance said they were young too.

Yeah. Is this series of events
suggest anything to you?

- The Brain Trust.
- Yeah.

And the young man
who was gunned down

on the steps of the Iolani
Palace was one of them.

I came as quickly as I
could, Mr. McGarrett.

McGARRETT: Thank
you. I appreciate that.

I'm not sure how
much help I can be.

To perform your kind of work,

what university degree
would you need?

Masters in Geophysics. Why?

Ted Bonner, Kenji Tatsumo.

You mean you think you know
who's responsible for the hoax?

Well, let's just say that
some intriguing pieces

of a geophysics jigsaw puzzle
are beginning to fit together.

Let's go and question the
Brain Trust. Thank you, doctor.

I don't understand what this
is all about, Mr. McGarrett.

It's about $6 million
in stolen jewels

and a hoax that could've cost
the lives of thousands of people.

Hmm.

Well, now, how
does that concern us?

Can you account
for your whereabouts

in the past three or
four hours, all of you?

We left the danger
zone, like everyone else.

And where did you go then?

Oh, we headed north and
drove around like we were told.

- Isn't that right, Larry?
- Yeah, sure.

Didn't stop for
coffee or gasoline

any place along the way
where you were seen?

Well, we weren't on a
picnic, Mr. McGarrett.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

Then you have no witnesses
to confirm where you went?

- We have each other.
- Yes, I'll bet you do.

Steve, we gave the
house the once over.

There's no sign of the jewels.

Okay, get an H.P.D.
search team out here, Danno.

- I want this place taken apart.
- Right.

Ted, they have no right to
invade our privacy like this.

We have a search warrant, miss.

I insist you explain what charges
you have in mind, Mr. McGarrett.

How about assault and battery,
assault with a deadly weapon,

impersonating a police officer,
kidnapping and grand theft?

Those are pretty large
assumptions, Mr. McGarrett.

Well, I think the largest
assumptions were made by you.

Although, I must admit
some of them were sound.

Now, it takes a lot of imagination
to manufacture a tsunami.

And, uh, your evaluation of
the response was correct too.

The police, civil defense,

all the authorities reacted just
as you expected them to do.

Except,

your plan had one flaw.

[SCOFFS]

What is he talking about, Ted?

Yes, maybe you would like to
explain what you mean, Mr. McGarrett.

McGARRETT: Sure.

You had everything calculated.

You knew what everyone would
say and do except one of your own.

Kenji Tatsumo.

- Kenji?
- Yeah, Kenji.

Kenji had a conscience
as well as a high IQ.

That's why one of you had to kill
him on the steps of the Iolani Palace.

One of us?

Oh, my God, Ted.
What's he talking about?

SHIRLEY: Shut up, Adrienne.

We don't know anything.

Oh, wait a minute, they
seem to know more than we do.

And, Ted, I'm not gonna
take any fall for murder.

Hold it. Now, Ted
didn't kill Kenji.

Who killed him?
Answer my question.

TED: That's enough, Larry.

McGARRETT: I asked you a question.
- McGarrett, move.

You too. Move.

Go. Move, move.

Give me the gun.

Give me the gun. It's not
gonna do you any good.

You won't get 10
feet from this house.

He's right, Shirley.
Give it to me.

No, you don't make this decision
anymore then you made the others.

If it hadn't been for me, none
of this would've happened.

TED: Shirley, it's over.

Chin. Get over here.

Have H.P.D. search
the rest of the house.

Book them, murder
one, all of them.

DANNY: Steve.

That's pretty clever.

But that's been your trouble
from the very beginning.

You think you're
smarter than anyone else.

Get them out of here.

Let's go, Danno.

[SIREN WAILING]

What a waste, Steve,
all those bright kids.

Yeah, but brilliance, like
jewels, can be flawed, Danno.

Pity, huh?

What might have been.

Let's go.
