Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 10, Episode 11 - East Wind - Ill Wind - full transcript

The death-by-drowning of a minor-league diplomat may be the precursor to the assassination in public of a much higher-ranking official.

All right, baby, everything's
okay. Into your act.

There's a man drowning.

He's drowning,
the man over there.

SANDANARIK: I know in my
heart that my husband was killed

by the secret police
from our country.

So far, there is no hard
evidence to support your charge.

HELEN: I don't wanna
hear anything you say.

You tell your friend I get on
a plane for Hong Kong tonight

with a bag full of bills.

Well, that's it, gentlemen.

If it was murder,
it was a neat one



when the medical examiner
can't even pick up on it.

[HELEN SCREAMING]

HELEN: Help me!

Help!

Help!

Help me! Help!

[HELEN COUGHING]

Help. Please.

[HELEN SHOUTING]

SALGI: Help. Help, help.

Help, help.

All right, baby,
everything's okay.

Into your act. Okay.

[COUGHING]



Help!

Help me. Help.

Help me, please, help me.
There's a man drowning.

He's drowning. There's a
man over there drowning.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Oh, that poor man.

He was trying to save me.

Oh, my God.

[SOBBING]

Kati, what is it?
What's the matter?

What's the matter?

What is it? Wait,
slower, slower.

Kati, slower. I can't
understand you.

Okay, Dr. Sandanarik? There's
something wrong with him?

Is he hurt? What's...?

All right, take
me to him. Take...

Kati.

Kati.

He's not dead?

The heroic death yesterday
by drowning of Salgi Sandanarik

has brought letters of
condolence to his widow

from leaders all over the world.

Sandanarik, a candidate for
the Nobel Prize in Literature,

for a short while, the political as
well as moral leader of his nation,

found refuge in Honolulu
three months ago

after being exiled
from his native land

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

for his symbolic poetry on
freedom of the human spirit.

Salgi Sandanarik...

Madame Sandanarik?

McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.

My associate, Dan Williams.

- Won't you come in, please?
- Thank you.

Please sit down.

May we offer you our
deepest condolences?

Thank you. It was very
nice of you to come.

The chancellor at
the university told me

you had a deep appreciation
for my husband's work.

I certainly appreciate
what he stood for.

There have been
few men in the world

as dedicated to the
cause of human rights.

He died because of
that, Mr. McGarrett.

I know in my heart that
my husband was killed

by the secret police
from our country.

That's a very serious
charge, Madame.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

He told me many a
times it would happen.

He was afraid that,
uh, they would stop him

before he presented his report.

Oh, the, uh, Pacific
Conference on Human Rights?

Yes.

He had a proof of the torture.

The unspeakable
atrocities that are inflicted

on innocent people
in our country.

I've heard the stories.

My husband had a dossier,
affidavits, photographs.

They were all smuggled
out of our country

at great cost, Mr. McGarrett.

That dossier must be recovered.

You mean the dossier is missing?

But it was stolen from the
safe-deposit box at the hotel.

Have you reported
it to the police?

Yes.

McGARRETT: Well,
Madame, I can only assure you

that the Honolulu Police Department
is one of the best in the United States.

We're talking about a document of
the utmost importance to the world.

Its contents would enrage the
conscience of men everywhere.

Hawaii Five-0 is
a state police unit.

We are not empowered
to involve ourselves

in the internal affairs
of a foreign country.

This is every country's affair.

I am speaking of a murder.

A murder of one of the most
important men in the world.

A suspicion of murder.

So far, there is no hard evidence
to support your charge. None.

Let me show you something.

This young lady, um, Kati Parisa,
may well have been with my husband.

I want you to find her.

You think she might
have been a witness?

SANDANARIK: Perhaps.

Or an accomplice.

This, uh... This
Kati, who is she?

She's a student of my husband's.

He arranged for her
escape from our country.

Uh, a victim of torture.
Supposedly, she cannot speak.

Supposedly? What does that mean?

One never can take anything
for granted, Mr. McGarrett.

My husband spent most of his
time with her the past three weeks

and, uh, I feel that sometimes, he
was too trusting for his own good.

I see. Very well,
Madame, we'll look into it.

Well, if I can be of any help,
please be free to call me.

McGARRETT: Thank
you. We might do that.

- Bye-bye.
- Good day.

- Bye-bye.
- Goodbye.

What's the matter, Steve?
You don't seem convinced.

Oh, I might be, Danno.

But, uh, Madame Sandanarik is
not just, uh, her husband's widow.

She's the sister of Samacara.

Samacara? The strongman?

Yeah. Generalissimo Samacara.

He's the strongman who overthrew
the Sandanarik government.

Okay, I'll tell you what.

Get out an APB using
these two pictures

but, uh, no publicity.

If that mute girl,
Kati, is still alive,

I don't wanna advertise her for
another political assassination.

Gotcha, we'll play it safe.

MAN [ON TV]: Can you tell
us exactly what happened?

Well, when that boom swung
over and knocked me off the boat,

I just panicked.

I lost my breath and I
swallowed a lot of water

and I just was
drowning for sure.

And then that... That poor man.

- Mr. Sande... MAN:
Dr. Sandanarik.

Oh, that poor man.

Yes, I owe him my life.

Then, um, suddenly,

I felt somebody grab me
and pull me to the boat.

And then, um...

Well, then everything
after that was just so awful.

So awful.

MAN: What happened to him?

Did he strike his
head against the boat?

I don't know, I...

When I came to, he
was, uh, you know, gone.

Well, that's not
much help, is it?

What did she tell the police?

Pretty much the same
story. She panicked.

Doesn't seem to be able to
remember any of the details,

unless she doesn't want to.

No witnesses on the shore?

Not unless Madame Sandanarik
was right about that girl in the picture.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come in.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, thank you.

Autopsy report.

Doc said, "No bruises on
the body, no needle marks,

no evidence of heart
attack, no poison."

No sign of violence, nothing.

He claims the sole cause
of death was drowning.

Well, that's it, gentlemen.

If it was murder,
it was a neat one

when the medical examiner
can't even pick up on it.

Okay, let's go.

Check the girl, check the boat.

Get H.P.D. to check the
beach near the drowning.

Anything they can
come up with. Anything.

Let's go.

Uh, get me the
governor's office, please.

[INAUDlBLE DIALOGUE]

DANNY: The girl used
to be a beach bunny.

Hung around with the top surfers
of the Pipeline in Waimea Bay.

Apparently, she could
swim like a barracuda.

- She could, huh?
- Yeah.

And Duke says the boat
was a 16-foot Sunfish, a rental.

But you sit to control a
sailboat like a Sunfish.

What about the
girl, um, Kati Parisa?

Nothing yet.

No one seems to have seen
her except Madame Sandanarik.

Yeah, that's what
troubles me, Danno.

Anything on the missing dossier?

Chin checked with the hotel.

It takes, uh, two keys to
get into the safe-deposit box.

The hotel has one, the box
holder has the other one.

But they're fairly simple.
Those keys can be duplicated.

When we get back to the office,

I want you to find out who makes
those keys and follow up on it.

- Chin's working on it now.
- Good.

[BELL CHIMING]

[MAN CHANTING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

No, Kati, not now.

You may offer the
flowers only in privacy.

Please, Kati, understand.

Dr. Sandanarik, he
knows your feelings.

We can't trust
anyone down there.

The conference, Kati.

[SOBS]

That will be his memorial.

[CHANTING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[BELL CHIMES]

She's taking it awfully hard.

Yeah. Her only problem is,
Danno, there were no tears.

Lend me this a minute.
I'll meet you at the car.

Right.

What can one say at a time like
this? Words seem so inadequate.

The world has suffered a
considerable loss, Madame.

Yes, it has.

Thank you for coming.

[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]

May I ask you a question?

Yes.

Helen Macy, the girl who
was standing next to us.

Did you recognize her?

I've seen her
picture in the paper.

Well, have you ever seen
her before? Anytime, anyplace?

No, but of course, she
is one of the assassins.

How can you say that
with such assurance?

It's clear to me she enticed
my husband into the sea

then he was drowned by
the agents of the secret police.

Oh, the secret police
that you mentioned.

Would you recognize
them if you saw them?

Then they would not be secret,
would they, Mr. McGarrett?

Have you found no trace of Kati?

No, not yet. I'm sorry.

- We need some more time.
- Mm.

In my country, it would not
take this long to get the answers.

Well, we have laws here, Madame.
Laws that protect all individuals.

I thought that was the reason that
Dr. Sandanarik sought asylum here.

Laws against murder?

Good day.

Hold on, Duke.

Steve, Duke. He's
at Bellows Beach.

The H.P.D. search turned
up something interesting.

McGARRETT: Hold this,
Danno. DANNY: Yeah.

Duke, what have you got?

An aqualung, some
flippers and a mask.

Charlie Han and his partner
found them buried in the weeds

near Makapuu Point.

How long do you figure
they've been there?

Not long from the look of it.
They're clean as a whistle.

I bet somebody dumped them.

All right, Duke,
get the stuff to Che,

see if he can come
up with anything

and, uh, station a man out
there just in case anyone turns up

to reclaim the property.

Good work, Duke.

Danno,

if Che comes up with a
print from any of that stuff,

I want all bases covered.

Run it through all agencies:
local, FBI and Interpol.

Interpol? Does that mean you're
buying Mrs. Sandanarik's story?

No, I just want the truth.

And right now, that may be
the rarest ingredient in this case.

Let's go.

KAYE [OVER PHONE]: The
Sandanarik incident, Steve.

I understand that his
widow came to visit you,

claiming it was a
political assassination.

How did you know that?

KAYE: We just got an inquiry,

an official diplomatic
inquiry from her government.

That's very interesting, Jonathan,
because I've told no one of her visit.

Obviously, they're watching her.

Oh, they're very concerned,
Steve, and for good reason.

You see, they need, desperately,
our recognition of their new regime.

We've been holding back.

What we ultimately do

will depend, to a great extent,
on you and what you can find out

about Sandanarik's death.

We must know
exactly what happened.

I've been investigating
it, Jonathan,

but so far, I do not have
a definitive answer for you.

We'll wait until
we hear from you.

Meanwhile, you're gonna be getting
a call from a Mr. Derek Hoffman.

He is the generalissimo's
representative at the conference,

an observer.

He urgently wants to speak with
you and I think you should see him.

Derek Hoffman.

McGARRETT: Oh, thank you.

HOFFMAN: Ah, Mr. McGarrett,

I know you must
be a very busy man.

It's very kind of
you to meet me.

Mr. Hoffman, Jonathan
Kaye said I was to speak

to the representative
of the generalissimo.

I am simply one of many
professional diplomats

the generalissimo found
need of when he took power.

Oh, I see.

Forgive me, but I'm afraid
you don't understand.

It is not an easy task

to take responsibility
for an emerging nation.

The government in chaos

where so few are
college graduates.

But I thought
that, uh, education

was the highest priority of
the Sandanarik government?

No?

Sandanarik was a fine writer.

But as an administrator, I'm
afraid his dreams were just that.

Mr. McGarrett,

you are undoubtedly
aware of the bad effect

the press coverage
of Sandanarik's death

and Madame's statement have
had on my government's image.

Especially in light of this week's
conference on human rights.

Mr. Hoffman, there is no
way that I nor anyone else

can control what the press in
a free country chooses to print.

I would not ask you to.

I merely ask that you
explain that our government,

in spite of their
differences with Sandanarik,

is willing to offer all assistance
in clearing up the matter.

Assistance?

Are you telling me that
intelligence agents of your country

are operating here now?

I am saying nothing of the sort.

The generalissimo
would not dream

of sending agents
into a friendly country.

Unless you supply me with
the names of your agents,

I'm afraid there is nothing further
for us to discuss, Mr. Hoffman.

But I have no names.

All I have is the best...

Best interest, twenty
million unfortunate people

who will see themselves
more and more isolated

from sources of help if the
soiling of their country continues.

I see. Well, I'm afraid I'm
not the one to speak to.

What you need is a
public-relations firm.

A damn good one.

Yes, you're probably right.

Please feel free to call on me
if I can be of any assistance.

I'm afraid I have
another appointment.

As you can see, my
assignment is not an easy one.

Thank you, Mr. McGarrett.

McGARRETT: Good day, sir.

Where's your friend?

When you have a friend like
him, Danno, who needs an enemy?

What have you got?

I don't know.

Name popped up three times in
the loose data we've been collecting.

Separately, it means nothing.
Together it could add up.

What is it?

Photostat of a check Helen
Macy paid to a Pete Colby.

Four hundred dollars.
Cashed it at her bank.

Sam Ogawa told me
Helen Macy played pachinko

at his club with
this guy and he...

This guy stuck him
for an IOU, Pete Colby.

Helen Macy paid a
hospital bill for a guy.

- Pete Colby.
- Right.

That's good, Danno. Put Chin
and Duke on him right away.

Same routine as with Helen Macy.

He could be our man.

Colby quit two weeks
ago, but there's no address.

Said he was leaving town.

Well, the owner's
clean. That I'm sure.

Okay, Chin, come on in.

Well.

That accounts for
the missing dossier.

Colby?

Yeah, his M.O.
seems to be burglary

coupled with a little
judicious key-grinding.

If he goes in for skin diving,
he sounds like our man all right.

Che Fong checked the air
tanks. They were filled last week.

The shop had the right name on
the registry with a phony address.

Okay. Then get out
an APB right away.

Steve? H.P.D.'s got
practically nothing on him.

No, uh, fingerprints, mug
shots. It's really gonna be tough.

Well, try it anyway.

And then start checking
back from Helen Macy.

If Sandanarik was murdered,
there's gotta be a connection there.

I don't have to tell you, Danno.

We need information
and we need it fast.

DANNY: Right.

Hey, what the hell's going on
here? What are you guys doing here?

Oh, Mr. Colby.

My name is Derek Hoffman.

I'm here as a representative
of my government.

I, uh...

I believe Mr. Zadak instructed
you to pick up a dossier.

I don't know anything
about a dossier.

Come on, Mr. Colby.
I need the dossier.

Now, we are both
professionals, yes?

There was something
said about some money.

- You know anything about that?
- Oh, you'll get paid.

I wanna see it now.

Oh.

First, the dossier.

Didn't find anything, did you?

Like to scuba? Hmm?

Open it, please.

These are blank pages.

Oh, Kati.

Kati.

Kati.

Kati.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

McGARRETT: Who's there?

Who's there?

Who are you?

Kati?

Kati Parisa?

Where have you been?

We've been looking for you.

Come.

What?

Come, please, sit down. Tell me.

- Unh.
- What's... Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot.

What? Wha...?

That's blood.

What happened? What happened?

What...?

Someone hurt?

Take me to him.

I'll be back in the
morning, doctor.

But if there's any change
in Charlie's condition,

I wanna be notified immediately.

And the girl, if she needs anything,
the department will take care of it.

DANNY: Steve?
- Yeah?

You got Kati here?

Yeah, she's here but
she won't be much help

until Charlie Davilo's
in some shape to talk.

- You got anything?
- We may have struck gold.

It's only a trace so far but it
might lead us to the mother lode.

Kati.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Mr. Davilo?

McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.

You're a lucky man. This
little girl saved your life.

Yes.

I know.

Did you get a look at
the men who beat you up?

I didn't have to.

I know who they are.

They were after Salgi
Sandanarik's dossier.

They already have it.

They stole it from
his safe-deposit box.

No.

That was a dummy.

I have the real one.

Salgi gave it to me.

He knew that they
were after him.

And the original, where is it?

It's in safekeeping. Uh...

Only Kati and I know where.

And Sandanarik's death,

what do you and
Kati know about that?

Kati saw it.

Well, why didn't she come to me?

Why did she run away?

Because she doesn't
know who did it.

Besides, the secret
police of our country

are the reason that
she can't speak now.

Mr. McGarrett, please.

Understand what she
underwent at their hands.

She was a student
working with Dr. Sandanarik.

They wanted someone
to point a finger at him,

someone to paint
him as a traitor.

They chose Kati.

The things that
they did to her...

But she never broke.

She is a brave girl.

Yes, I know.

I know.

What do you want me to do?

I am going to present Salgi's dossier
at the human-rights conference.

I need your protection.

You have it.

The man who put you here,

the man responsible
for Sandanarik's death,

do you know who he is?

Yes.

The head of the
secret police, Zadak.

But I have never seen him. I...

I can't tell you
where to find him.

McGARRETT: Zadak. CHARLIE: Yes.

When do you make your
report to the conference?

Tomorrow at 2.

McGARRETT: Miss?

HELEN: Oh, hello.

- They're in terrible shape.
- Yeah.

Not much time for a manicurist.

You're staring at me.

Yeah.

Why are you staring at me?

Oh, I was just thinking
about that old story

about the manicurist
and the locksmith.

You've heard it, haven't you?

Can't say that I have.

Well, you see,
this, uh, manicurist

takes an appointment
from a millionaire

and then she, uh, phones
a friend, a locksmith,

who just happens to have a
passkey to all the rooms in the hotel.

And while the millionaire is
downstairs getting his nails done,

the locksmith hurries over
and rifles the guy's room.

Clever, huh?

What are you talking about?

Have you ever heard
the name of Pete Colby?

Always ends the same, honey.

Ambitious girl tackles
more and more and more,

and then murder.

That's when they
always get caught.

Who are you?

I thought you remembered
me from the funeral.

McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.

Sometimes, the ones
who, uh, confess first

suffer the least.

My office is at
the Iolani Palace.

Thanks for the manicure.

WOMAN: We are now in the
great hall of Hyatt Regency, Waikiki

at Hemmeter Center.

This area has been
designated for pageantry.

The main waterfall is 30 feet
high, the two side vents are 20 feet.

We use 30,000 gallons
of water in the cycle.

The sculpture was designed
by Edward Brownlee,

a former resident here.

It's made of anodized aluminum
in two shades of bronze.

It's self-illuminating and
stands 34 feet high, 20 feet wide

and weighs two-and-a-half tons.

Pete? Helen.

Don't call me.

HELEN [OVER
PHONE]: Don't call you?

Listen, McGarrett was just here.

He knows there's a locksmith
and knows we work together

and who knows
what else he knows.

Don't panic now.

Relax. Relax.

McGarrett hasn't charged
you with anything, has he?

All right.

Look, he's fishing in the
dark, baby. He's flying kites.

Then I want out before
he finds out more.

Look, baby, just play it cool.

I'm having a little trouble at
this end of the wheel, okay?

You're having trouble with
me at this end, both of you.

Look...

HELEN: I don't wanna hear
anything you have to say.

You tell your friend I get on
a plane for Hong Kong tonight

with a bag full of bills.

COLBY: Okay, baby.

You sit tight. Everything's
gonna be okay.

Look, I'll take
care of everything,

the whole deal.

I'll meet you at your
place in an hour, okay?

You had better be there.

And bring what I want.

Chin?

Billy, get me a cab.

[GUNFIRE]

How is she?

Would you please
leave, Mr. Hoffman?

I am only here as a representative
to your brother, Madame.

Please.

Consider the
plight of your people

and the irreparable damage
the dossier could do to them,

not to mention, your brother.

I think my brother and I
understand one another.

So you will not reconsider then?

I can offer you no help.

Good day, Mr. Hoffman.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

May I speak to you quietly?

Yes, of course.

Well, Madame,

you've been right all along.

Your husband was murdered.

I'm sorry.

But the dossier that was
stolen was on blank paper.

Your husband had the foresight

to turn the real dossier over
to a friend for safekeeping.

Oh, that is a miracle.

Who is the friend?

Uh, he calls himself Charlie.

Cha... Cha... Charlie Davilo.

He's still alive.

Very much so and so is Kati.

Where are they?

They're under guard
at Leahi Hospital.

I must see them.

McGARRETT: No, no, I'm
sorry. That's not possible now.

Please tell them how happy
I am they're both all right.

I shall.

May I ask you a question?

Yes.

Does the name Zadak
mean anything to you?

Zadak.

Yes.

His name was a
nightmare to all of us.

He's a man without
pity, without feeling.

He's a monster.

Have you ever seen this Zadak?

No.

He lives like a
hooded executioner.

Perhaps we can tear
off that hood, huh?

- How do you feel?
- Like I'm alive again.

You know what this is?

The dossier.

We had it delivered
this morning.

Now I must warn you, there
is a great risk involved here.

How do you mean?

If this man, Zadak,
is still in the Islands,

he will do everything in
his power, including murder,

to keep you from
making your report.

I am not afraid.

I have a suggestion to make.

Yes, what's that?

Danno? Come in, please.

COLBY: Come on,
now, which room is he in?

Come on, which room? Which room?

Fourth floor. Come on.

All right, let's get started.

Get the dossier.

Get back.

Back up.

- Danno! DANNY: Freeze.

Drop it.

Hey, listen, I'm clean.

Look, I was
blackmailed into this.

By whom?

I don't know who planned
it. I just did what I was told.

- You know.
- Where have I heard that before.

Okay, book them, both of them.

Suspicion of murder.
Let's go, Danno.

Something bothers me, Steve.

How did Colby know
the dossier was here?

Yeah, that bothers
me too, Danno,

because the only one I told
was Madame Sandanarik.

But let's not jump to conclusions.
There may be some explanation.

How do we find out?

Well, I know one way.

[PHONE RINGS]

Yes? Oh, yes, Mr. McGarrett.

Yes, good news, Madame.

The assassin is in custody.

I'm so relieved.

- How is Charlie?
- He's fine.

He has the dossier and
he'll present his report today.

You mean he's well
enough to leave the hospital?

He insists on it.

Tell him I'll be at the conference
and I look forward to seeing him.

I shall, Madame. Thank you.

Madame Sandanarik will be
leaving for the conference any minute.

Tell Chin to get a court
order and check her room.

You think she'll pass the information
onto Zadak, whoever he is?

I hate to think that,
Danno. Let's go.

All right, move it.

- You okay?
- Yes.

- I couldn't be better.
- Good, let's go.

Charlie. Charlie, I...

How good to see you.

It's good to see you.

Kati, dear Kati.

What do you think?

You were both so
brave to come here.

We owe it to your husband.

I don't know, Danno.

I just don't know.

Keep an eye on her. I'm
gonna have a look around.

I've been waiting for
this for a long time.

MAN: before the eyes of the world,
not the crimes against nations...

Duke.

MAN: not the wars of man...

Are the men all set?

We've got a guard
at every entrance

but it's tough when you don't
know who you're looking for.

Yeah, well, just tell
them to stay alert.

The president, the prime
minister or a revolutionary

can proclaim that there
is true peace in the world

as long as anyone in any
country is denied his rights to birth.

Steve, I just talked to Chin.

Your hunch was right.

Madame Sandanarik's
room was bugged.

Yeah, that explains it.

Finally, today we have gathered
here to speak for the victims.

Those poor unfortunates,

who because of their
desire... Anything?

No sign of him.

But he's here, Danno, he's
here. You could count on that.

Because if there's one thing
Zadak fears more than anything else,

it's going home a failure.

The generalissimo would
waste no time in lining him up

against one of his
own bloody walls.

MAN: And now
ladies and gentlemen,

I'm informed that the speaker
we've all been waiting for has arrrived

and is ready to address us.

It's a pleasure to introduce
to you, Mr. Charles Davilo.

No, no.

[CROWD APPLAUDING]

For this, I walk.

[GASPS]

What's the matter?

Zadak.

Where?

There!

[GRUNTS]

Steve.

Danno, get Duke
and cover the back.

Come on.

End of the line, Zadak.

You cannot arrest
me. I am a diplomat.

Good. We'll send you
back to the generalissimo.

No, no, no.

Danno!

- Stand back. DANNY: Drop it.

[GUNSHOT]

God.

He's dead, Steve.

It's easier than facing
that bloody wall, huh?

We should be ever alert for
the single scream in the night,

the voice crying
from the wilderness.

But it is that scream

that brings the faces
of freedom together.

I thank you.
