Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 10, Episode 13 - The Big Aloha - full transcript
A respected physician on a remote island is found dead, and an autopsy reveals he was blown away with a shotgun while night swimming. The only suspect is a young-Turk doctor at a local ...
He didn't drown, Mrs.
Kincaid, he was shot.
I only know one way to
handle a murder case,
and discretion and
diplomacy may not be part of it.
Gideon Webb was a
legend in his own time.
He made me believe I could
make it through med school.
So you repaid him by trying to
stop him from operating forever?
I'm an expert with clay
pigeons. But if you're wondering
whether I could hit a man
swimming in the ocean at night...
McGARRETT: At
night, Mrs. Kincaid?
[HORSE NEIGHS AND MAN YELLS]
[PLAYING AND SINGING
"THE HUKILAU SONG"]
Oh, we're going to a hukilau
A huki huki, huki huki, hukilau
Everybody loves a hukilau
Where the laulau is
the kaukau At the hukilau
We throw our nets
out into the sea
And all the ama-ama
Come a-swimmin' to me
Oh, we're going to a hukilau
A huki huki, huki hukilau
What a wonderful day for fishin'
[SINGING CONTINUES]
May I have the
first hula, madame?
- Johnny.
- Mamu.
Ha, ha, how are you?
Maika'i. Come, come.
Well, what's this?
One big surprise for Haole Hao.
He one handsome
fella, eh, Johnny?
Yeah.
Golden jubilee,
50 years a doctor.
MAMU: How old
you figure doc to be?
Too old to perform surgery.
Nope.
Haole Hao is no iron
man anymore, Mamu.
We're all here to honor
him today, Dr. Palahana.
As he was, not as he is.
He's your colleague and
you owe him a great deal.
I'm well aware
of what I owe him.
I also have an oath to
the profession we share.
Does that mean you have
to destroy his self-respect?
No, he can still be the
grand old man of medicine.
I just want you to get him
out of the operating room.
He won't quit under fire.
If you drop your charges...
No way, not this time.
I've just come from a funeral I
hold him directly responsible for.
You hold?
You're overstepping
yourself, doctor.
I am not one of your paniolos
any longer, Mrs. Kincaid.
- Johnny.
- It's all right, Mamu.
The hospital board will
hear your charges tomorrow.
You've heard before. When
are you going to begin to listen?
Johnny.
You're a guest in my house
and Dr. Gideon Webb's associate.
I trust you will not
embarrass your mother
or abuse my hospitality by
airing your feelings here today.
I would never ever
embarrass my mother.
But let me warn you
that unless you take the
scalpel out of Dr. Webb's hands,
somebody else will end up dead.
[PLAYING HAWAIIAN MUSIC]
[LAUGHTER AND CHATTERING]
- Hey, Pete.
- Hey, Johnny.
Oh, I'm so glad you could come.
Well, I wouldn't wanna
miss Dr. Webb's big day.
No.
- Where is the guest of honor?
- Not here yet.
Punctuality isn't
Gideon's strong point,
particularly if
he's with a patient.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Well, so the, uh, voters don't think
I'm frittering away the whole afternoon,
perhaps I could take a look at
some of that proposed park property.
- I'd be delighted to show it to you, sir.
- Fine.
Constance, I just
want you to know
how much a park like
that means to the state.
Uh, I'm afraid my son-in-law
has overstated the situation, Philip.
I, uh, haven't made
up my mind yet.
Well, I wouldn't
wanna pressure you.
Oh, I'm doing enough of that.
Giving up part of this would
be like giving up part of myself.
Of course, we'd have
to, uh, consult Dr. Webb.
His land adjoins ours, you know.
Go, man, shake it,
all around the island.
You're a doctor now. You forget
how to dance like a cowboy?
Forgetting is what you do best.
Julie, your mother
just chewed me out.
Isn't it about time we
had a truce? Come on.
BOY: Hey, Dr. John,
come quick. Please, help.
CONSTANCE: What is it?
- Gideon.
- He's dead.
Oh, Gideon, why
wouldn't you listen?
Why wouldn't you stop
those marathon swims?
He didn't drown, Mrs. Kincaid.
He was shot.
[GASPS]
JAMESON: I want
you on this one, Steve.
It has to be handled with
discretion and diplomacy.
I only know one way to
handle a murder case,
and discretion and
diplomacy may not be part of it.
Gideon Webb was a
legend in his own time,
and people need heroes.
Governor, I'm sure you're aware
that heroes sometimes
have feet of clay, huh?
Dr. Webb and the Kincaids
have written proud chapters
in this island's history.
His death hit
Constance very hard.
Tell me more about Mrs. Kincaid.
An outstanding woman.
Runs a working cattle ranch,
sugar and pineapple operations,
and still has time for
community service.
But it's been an uphill struggle
since her husband was killed.
Killed? How was he killed?
- Accidentally, cleaning a gun.
- Tsk. Boy.
She's a good friend, Steve,
and I'm hoping that she won't be hurt
any more than she has been already.
I can't promise anything,
governor, but I'll try.
Thanks, Steve.
Oh, by the way,
what are these rumors I hear
about a state park on Kincaid land?
How did you get onto that?
Governor, you know that Five-0
never divulges a source, don't you?
[CHUCKLING]
Okay, Steve.
[MAMU SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
Beautiful song.
Beautiful people.
Beautiful to look
at, but not to touch.
Julie.
I'd better gather up my children
and get on back to school.
Somebody must have
pulled a lot of strings
to get permission to
bury him on his own land.
Yeah.
From what I heard,
he was quite a guy.
Newspaper said some
people thought Gideon Webb
was named after the Bible, and
some others thought he wrote it.
Nice custom, the big aloha.
Yeah.
Did he live here alone, Danno?
No, he had a
houseman named Akino.
See what he has to say. I'll
meet you back at the office.
I'd like to have a word
with Mrs. Kincaid first.
You want me to tell the hospital board
that the meeting has been postponed?
No, let's go ahead with it.
- Mrs. Kincaid?
- Yes.
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
Oh. Uh, my son-in-law,
Kelly Trahune.
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
How thoughtful of the governor
to send flowers and a
personal representative.
It's professional as well.
Five-0 will be investigating
Dr. Webb's murder.
I can assure you, Mr. McGarrett,
Gideon was an exemplary gentleman.
Everybody who
knew him loved him.
Yeah, all except one.
Uh, would you excuse us, please?
- Certainly.
- Come along, Kelly.
PETE: Haole Hao
is gonna be missed.
Some shoes to fill.
What size shoes
you wear, Johnny?
I like to think
I'm still growing.
Now you're gonna have
to grow up to be Haole Hao,
dragging yourself out of bed at
all hours, never enough sleep.
- You think he's hiring?
- No.
Kai, come on.
Oh, gotta go, Uncle Pete.
- So long, Dr. John.
- Bye-bye.
Everybody else here?
Come on children, let's go.
Let's go, come on, let's go.
Teacher says jump
in the fire pit, he would.
Big crush.
Well, the kid's got taste.
And you've got more
heart than sense,
raising an orphan
with all your own kids.
Needed somebody to inherit
the hand-me-downs. Come on.
DANNY: So Dr. Webb came home
in the afternoon, which was unusual,
and cancelled all his appointments,
which was also unusual.
And tells me to make drinks.
And Haole Hao
never drink in daytime.
- Did he seem disturbed?
- I think maybe so.
He talk on telephone
three or four times,
although I am hearing
only two when I bring drinks.
Any idea who he was talking to?
No.
Did you hear
anything that was said?
To one he says:
"You get more from Hong
Kong than your suits, my friend."
Then he says, "You
will have proof soon."
Hmm.
And, uh, what did
he say to the other?
He says:
"I have made substantial
deposits in our account,
and now time has
come for withdrawal."
Think carefully, Akino.
Did he say "my account"
or "our account"?
"Our account."
Then he tell the lady to come
here that night to talk about it.
- What lady?
- He no say.
Just tell me to make cold supper
for him and lady and take night off.
Then that Dr. Palahana come
and they have one big fight.
What about?
Say woman die. Say he
will stop him somehow.
DANNY: Akino didn't see
the lady who came to dinner.
He left after the quarrel
between Palahana and Webb.
Chin, find out what you can
about Dr. Webb's bank accounts.
I'm interested in those deposits
and withdrawals Akino mentioned.
- On my way.
- Duke, what did you come up with?
DUKE: The weapon was
a shotgun, 00 buckshot.
- That's it?
- That's it.
Have H.P.D. get some men with
metal detectors down on that beach.
- See what they can find.
- Right.
And Duke, uh, has the coroner
pinpointed time of death?
No, temperature of the
water retarded rigor mortis.
Oh, that's great. Okay,
Lani, that's all, thank you.
You're welcome.
Well, he was known for
early-morning and late-night swims.
So the murder could
have occurred either time.
Danno, did those phone
calls Akino mentioned
give you the impression that
Dr. Webb was pressuring someone?
Yeah, it sounded that way.
Could those calls have been
to members of the hospital
board to drum up support?
Or demand it.
Let's take a run out to the
hospital and see what we can find.
Since, uh, this has been
a difficult day for all of us,
I suggest we adjourn.
Thank you, Kelly.
- Check them out,
Danno. DANNY: Yeah.
Gentlemen?
Constance, we've got to make
a decision on the park project.
I'm due at the bank, Kelly.
Why go begging for
another extension on the loan
when a simple yes will wipe
the whole thing off the books?
I'm glad I caught
you, Mrs. Kincaid.
- I have a few questions...
- Can't this wait, McGarrett?
- We've had a very difficult day.
- It's all right, Kelly.
Sit down, please.
Yes?
I understand that today's
meeting was called
to hear certain charges
against Dr. Webb
brought by Dr. Palahana.
That's a confidential matter.
Charges that Dr. Webb
caused the death of a patient.
As Gideon is no longer
here to refute those charges,
there is no point
in discussing them.
But they could be the motive
for his murder, you know.
JULIE: I don't believe it.
I can't imagine anyone
wanting to kill Gideon.
To get back to
Dr. Palahana's charges,
it appears that
Dr. Webb was concerned
about the board's
reaction to them, huh?
He had no reason to be.
Dr. Webb made some telephone
calls the afternoon before his death.
Did he talk to you, Mr. Trahune?
No, he did not.
One of the calls was to a lady.
I don't find that unusual.
Oh, but she was the last, or
maybe next to the last person
to see the doctor alive.
I was not the lady.
No one said you were.
Mrs. Trahune?
KELLY: My wife was
with me all evening.
That eliminates the ladies
of the board, now, doesn't it?
- Will that be all, Mr. McGarrett?
- No, one more question.
Were Dr. Palahana's charges
ever really investigated?
Our staff report cites several possible
reasons for the fatal hemorrhage.
They do not agree with
Dr. Palahana's conclusions.
Kel,
thanks for covering for me.
Just doing my job, darling.
Love, honor and
protect, remember?
No, uh...
No questions about
where I was that night?
No questions.
Hey, not to worry, babe.
There's no way they
can tie you into this.
No way at all, okay?
And, uh, nothing can make
me change what I said in there.
See you later.
KELLY: Have you
guys seen Weaver?
Thanks.
- Hi, buddy boy.
WEAVER: Hey, ha, ha.
- Another day, another million, huh?
- Hang in there, you'll make it too.
So you, uh, take
care of your end?
I always deliver.
Have you persuaded her
ladyship to see things your way yet?
Oh, it won't be long.
She, uh, was waiting to get a
reaction on the park from Webb.
But now that he's dead,
the only thing that's holding
her back is sentiment.
But that doesn't pay bills, so
it's Kelly Trahune to the rescue.
JOHN: That was a good ride.
McGARRETT: Nice ride.
- Yeah, it helps me to unwind.
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
Oh, yeah.
Then Akino has told you about
my argument with Dr. Webb.
McGARRETT: Yes, he has.
We go back a long
way, the doctor and I.
- Too bad it ended the way it did.
- How did it end?
Oh, harsh words. A patient died
because that stubborn old man
wouldn't admit he was
washed up as a surgeon.
Well, the staff report
said other factors
could have been
the cause of death.
That figures.
The staff is under the
influence of Mrs. Kincaid.
It's been suggested that
you were after Dr. Webb's job.
I don't give a damn
about the job, McGarrett.
My only concern is patient care.
And that old man
was one of my heroes.
He made me believe I could
make it through med school.
He got me into one.
So you repaid him by trying to
stop him from operating forever?
Yeah.
But not by killing him.
I understand that Mrs. Kincaid
is an old friend of yours too.
[CHUCKLES]
I wouldn't put it that way.
I grew up on the ranch.
I worked there as a boy.
My mother still lives
there, runs the big house.
But the Kincaids did finance
your medical education, correct?
They wanted a lot of
miles between Julie and me.
The crown princess
doesn't marry a local cowboy.
Do you own a shotgun, doctor?
Yeah.
And if you're half the cop
you're cracked up to be,
you'd know I won the
junior championship
skeet shooting with it.
Where is it now?
Man, you're barking
up the wrong palm.
I haven't touched
that thing in years.
Then you'd have no
objection if we looked at it.
No.
It's at my mother's. I left it there
when I went to the mainland.
Haven't touched it since.
That King Kam, he's
some kind of horse.
Where's the
challenge if they're not?
[CHUCKLES]
I will get. Sure, I will get.
But it all big lie. Oh, my
Johnny, he's good boy.
[MAMU GRUMBLES]
CONSTANCE: What's wrong, Mamu?
Oh, he say go get
Johnny's gun, make tests.
He say Haole Hao
killed by same kind gun.
My boy, he's good boy,
he... Johnny no kill him.
No, of course, he didn't, Mamu.
Now, listen, bring
the gun to the study.
- All right?
- Okay.
Come inside, please.
Nonsense.
It's been established that Dr. Palahana
argued violently with Dr. Webb.
He owns a shotgun
and he's a crack shot.
If you live on a ranch, you
know how to handle guns.
I'm a crack shot myself.
Who stood to gain
from Dr. Webb's death?
It couldn't have been Johnny.
What makes you so sure?
The day of the hukilau,
he stood in this room
warning me to get Gideon
out of the operating room.
He said, "Unless you take
the scalpel out of his hands,
somebody else is
going to end up dead."
Now, why would he
have phrased it that way
if he knew Gideon
was already dead?
Why?
So that we would ask
ourselves that very question.
Hmm.
Well,
I shall see to it he has the
best legal counsel available.
I take care of my
people, Mr. McGarrett.
- Your people, Mrs. Kincaid?
- Johnny was born on this ranch.
The Palahanas have lived here
ever since my great grandfather
established his mission here.
Wasn't it their land before
the white man took it?
[CHUCKLES]
I might have known.
A bleeding-heart liberal
who believes the Hawaiians
were exploited by the missionaries.
The Hawaiians say that the
missionaries came to do good.
And they did very well.
Do my people look
unhappy? III-treated?
They have pension plans, a
hospital, a school for their children.
Taking care of them is
an enormous responsibility.
How are they going
to learn responsibility
if everything is taken
care of for them?
Whether you like it or not,
Mr. McGarrett, they're still child-like
as far as responsibility
and initiative are concerned.
I think initiative
is like a muscle.
Unless you're allowed
to use it, it atrophies.
Mr. McGarrett, my son
was killed in Vietnam.
My daughter has no child.
And at my death, the entire
estate will be left in trust
for the benefit of the
people who live here.
Johnny's gun.
- Here's your evidence.
- Thank you.
[PHONE RINGS]
Hello. Yes.
Mr. McGarrett. Yes, he's here.
Thank you. McGarrett.
Yeah, Danno, what have you got?
H.P.D. came across a
bill in Dr. Webb's desk.
What kind of bill, Danno?
Expenses for the services of
a private eye, Frank Lahani.
Oh, yeah, I know Frank Lahani.
Ex-H.P.D. He's a good man.
Bill includes airfare to
and from Hong Kong.
Hong Kong?
Danno, call Commissioner
Brian Slavin in Hong Kong.
See if he can run
Lahani down for us,
and maybe he can also find
out why Dr. Webb sent him there.
I have tried, Steve. Lahani's dropped
completely out of sight over there.
Well, see if Chin remembers
his Cantonese dialect
- and get him on the next plane.
- Right.
What has Hong Kong
got to do with all this?
I don't know, but
we're gonna find out.
Thank you.
Operator.
We've checked with Lahani's
wife, the girl in his office,
even his favorite
bartender, all dead ends.
Whoever he was investigating
was on the other end
of that phone conversation
with Dr. Webb, Danno.
Bet on it.
"You get more than your suits
from Hong Kong, my friend.
I will have proof soon."
The questions is,
has Lahani nailed somebody,
or was the doctor bluffing?
Either way, it could
spell motive for murder.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
- Yeah?
- Chin on the line from Hong Kong.
- Put him through.
- I'll put it on speaker.
Chin, can you read me?
CHIN [OVER SPEAKER]:
Loud and clear.
What have you got for us, Chin?
The reason Lahani dropped
out of sight is he's dead, Steve.
CHIN: It was a
very professional hit.
When was he killed?
The same day that Dr. Webb's
body washed up on the beach.
All right, Chin, stay with it.
The two murders
could be connected
and the key could be whoever
Lahani was investigating for Dr. Webb.
I'll get back to you
if anything breaks.
Good, Chin. Give my regards
to Commissioner Slavin.
CHIN: Will do.
Too bad about Lahani.
Seemed like a nice guy.
Yeah, he was a nice guy, Danno.
I wonder if his wife
has been notified.
See if you can find
out. I'll drop over later.
Yeah.
Steve, I've got something for you.
It was in Webb's safe-deposit box.
Bankbook?
I'm not sure what it is.
I made some blow-ups.
DANNY: Here.
Initials, dates, deposits
and withdrawals.
DUKE: Pages of them.
Strange. Have you
ever seen a passbook
that does not show the amounts
deposited and withdrawn?
And the dates aren't stamped
in. They're handwritten.
Yeah.
[McGARRETT SNAPS FINGERS]
Could it be his way
of keeping accounts?
Maybe Dr. Webb dealt in
something besides money.
Favors given, favors
received, for instance, huh?
Deposit could be
a favor granted.
Yeah, and withdrawals,
favors returned.
Yeah, which brings me
back to my original hunch
about those telephone calls.
Maybe Dr. Webb was concerned
about the outcome of
that hospital board meeting
and he was calling in
favors that people owed him.
So he looked for deposits
with the same initials
as members of the board.
Score one for you, Duke.
[DANNY AND DUKE CHUCKLE]
[CHUCKLES]
There you go, Kai.
Thanks, Dr. John.
- Is he the last?
- I guess so.
Well, business as usual, huh?
Doesn't it bother you that Five-0
is breathing down your neck?
Why? They're pros,
and I didn't do it.
JULIE: You don't
have to tell me that.
There's a chance they think
you did. They took your gun.
Nothing to lose sleep over. I
haven't used that thing in years.
[JULIE SIGHS]
Kane Hao, the new iron man.
No, I'm no iron man.
Who should know
that better than I.
You wanna talk
about it for real?
What? You mean it
wasn't real before?
Face it, you and me then, it
wouldn't have worked for you.
Oh, listen to the altruist.
He sold out but
he did it all for me.
No, not for you, for both of us.
At 17, giving up everything for
love? That's a very romantic notion.
But the reality of life without any
of the things you were used to...
Hey, it wasn't the poor
little rich girl who caved in.
Oh, but you got your
medical degree, right?
That should be more
than enough consolation.
Well, you didn't
exactly pine away.
And if you had cared that
much you could have waited.
Oh, no, someone came along
to patch up the pieces
of my shattered ego.
Someone more suitable
to the Kincaid image?
I hate you, Johnny.
God, I hate you for
what you threw away.
[GASPS]
Oh, excuse me.
- You looking for me?
- No, no, for Mrs. Kincaid.
Your mother told
me she might be here.
She left a little while ago.
You'll find her
down by the beach.
Oh, thank you.
[GUNSHOT]
CONSTANCE: Pull!
[GUNSHOT]
[GUN COCKS]
Mrs. Kincaid?
Ah, the ubiquitous
Mr. McGarrett.
Don't tell me, let me guess.
Uh, the ballistic
test proved negative.
So you're testing shells from
every 12-gauge on the island.
Pull.
[GUNSHOT]
Help yourself.
Oh, thank you.
You know, I'm not here to
harass you, Mrs. Kincaid.
I've got a job to do
and I'm trying to do it
as efficiently as possible.
You're not succeeding very well.
I'm not getting too
much cooperation either.
Pull.
[GUNSHOT]
Country doctors have
strange bookkeeping habits.
Gideon drove his
accountant up the wall.
Never sent a bill to anyone
who might come up short.
Oh, but he kept very detailed records
of favors given and favors received.
He always said friendship
was like a bank account.
Give and take,
deposit and withdrawal.
Your initials, uh, appeared
quite often in the deposit column.
Withdrawals also. I'd say
our account balanced out.
I have a theory. It involves
a man who had access
to some very private and
personal matters over the years.
Gideon Webb would
never ever have divulged
one iota of private information
between doctor and patient.
Are you suggesting blackmail?
I'm suggesting that the good
doctor used his information
to pressure certain members
of the board on his behalf.
I also think that one or more of them
lied about those final telephone calls.
The only person who
can prove that is dead.
Pull.
[GUNSHOT]
I couldn't resist
the temptation.
I'm an expert with clay pigeons.
But if you're wondering
whether I could hit a man
swimming in the ocean at night...
At night?
At night, Mrs. Kincaid?
- I assumed it was.
- Oh.
[GUN COCKS]
Pull.
[GUNSHOT]
Does that approximate
a lie-detector test?
Not nearly so accurate.
You'll want a shell
from the other gun.
You were brought into the
case by the governor, McGarrett.
I'm sure he'd take a
dim view of these tactics.
And he wouldn't want to lose
the state park, now, would he?
Would you want to
lose it, Mr. Trahune?
What is that supposed to mean?
The governor tells me that Mrs.
Kincaid's decision on the park
depended on what
Dr. Webb had to say about it.
Now, he wasn't by any chance
trying to block the deal, was he?
It's a proposed gift of valuable
land, not a deal, McGarrett.
I see.
The donor gives the
state a half a mile of beach
and takes an
enormous tax deduction.
Then he sells the land adjacent
to it to a private developer,
makes a few million profit.
While, uh, public
funds pay for roads
into the state park and
into the private development.
Now, you don't call that a deal?
Thank you, Mr. McGarrett.
You've settled the question for me.
There will be no
gift to the state.
You can't mean that, Constance.
WEAVER: Hurry up with
that lumber over there.
- No luck with her ladyship, huh?
- Don't worry.
- Bit off more than you can chew?
- I told you not to worry about it.
I'll change her mind. It's
gonna take longer, that's all.
You're running out
of time, buddy boy.
This development I designed
can go anywhere in the islands.
They wouldn't sell
me out, would they?
We're businessmen.
You better move very fast
or you're gonna end up
owning 40 percent of nothing.
What are you doing over here?
Anything?
How come people smart enough to
be doctors write so you can't read it?
Part of the medical mystique, Danno.
What have you got besides eye strain?
The date Mrs. Kincaid's husband
was killed and the date of the inquest
are marked as deposits under
her initials in Webb's bank book.
Favors rendered, maybe?
Death was ruled accidental.
He could have been
covering for someone.
DUKE: Steve?
- Yeah.
Run those through
ballistics, Duke.
Don't think you'll
need them, Steve.
Ballistics say the shell
we found on the beach
are a perfect match for the
gun owned by Dr. Palahana.
JOHN: Man, this is unreal.
I was so sure you guys would
come up with the right answers.
Can you account for your
time after you left Dr. Webb's?
Yeah, I went to my pad,
had a couple of belts, steak,
caught up on some reading
and went right to bed.
No phone calls? No visitors?
All you have is my unsupported
word. Pretty shaky, huh?
Mr. McGarrett,
I haven't touched
that gun in years.
Are you asking me to believe
that someone framed
you by using your shotgun?
Is that too far out?
They got possession of the gun,
shot Dr. Webb and then
managed to return it all unnoticed?
The doors are never locked out
there. People come and go all the time.
- Where do you get your suits, doctor?
- What?
Where do you have the suits
made? Hong Kong, perhaps?
I only own one and
I bought it in Waikiki.
I better get myself
a lawyer, huh?
You had motive, opportunity
and you own the murder weapon.
Now, if anyone else
was handling this case,
you'd be in custody now.
Don't ask me why, but I've got
a gut feeling about you, doctor.
I just hope that I'm not wrong.
Mr. McGarrett,
thank you.
Thank me when
and if I clear you.
DANNY: Figured
we'd have company.
I'm not sure,
Danno. I'm not sure.
I think there's a possibility
that someone used his feud with
Dr. Webb to their own advantage.
Possible. I may have the answer
to the Hong Kong connection, Steve.
- What's that?
- Julie Kincaid Trahune
was treated here
earlier this year
for an illness contacted
on a trip to Hong Kong.
- That's interesting.
- Checked her out in Webb's book.
Initials J.K.
There were two deposits
before her marriage.
The first was roughly the same time
John Palahana went to medical school.
The second was
later the same year.
I overheard her tell
Dr. Palahana that she hated him.
Enough to frame him?
I don't know, Danno.
I told the governor I'd try
not to hurt Mrs. Kincaid, but...
One way or another, this thing is
ending up right on her doorstep.
- Mrs. Kincaid?
- Oh.
Old superstition says
if you carry a horseshoe
that way, your luck will run out.
I could use some luck.
Well...
How did your husband really die?
He killed himself.
So Dr. Webb committed
perjury by calling it an accident.
To avoid a nasty scandal
for the children and me.
If you'll please excuse me.
KID 1: Come on, you can't ride
him! KID 2: You can ride him!
Hey, I'm not chicken.
I can ride King Kam.
KID 1: Oh, no
way. KID 2: No way.
- Hey, I'm not scared of him.
JULIE: You better be scared of her.
My mother would skin you
alive if you got on that horse.
Now, you come here.
You boys go on
home to supper. Go on.
Honestly.
[JULIE SCOFFS]
Are you out of your coconut?
You mad at me?
It's dumb to take dares. Maybe
you'll hurt yourself and him.
Hey.
Why don't you lead King
Kam back to his stall?
And throw a bridle on Lava,
because I feel like going riding, okay?
And, Kai,
don't ever let anybody stampede
you into doing something
until you're good and ready.
Sometimes it takes
more courage to say no.
- You dig?
- I dig, Mrs. Julie.
That boy.
That's why you hate
Dr. Palahana, isn't it?
That's what he threw away, huh?
One of the accounts in Dr. Webb's
bankbook has the initials J.K.
Couldn't that be Julie
Kincaid, your maiden name?
And there are two entries
in the deposit column.
One made about the time John
Palahana left for medical school,
the other eight months later.
I'm sorry, I don't know
what you're talking about.
McGARRETT: Julie.
Stop lying. Level with me.
All right.
I was the lady that Gideon
called the day before he was killed.
I went to his house and we
had dinner and we talked.
But he was alive when I
left, I swear to God he was.
What did he want to talk about?
The board meeting.
He wanted to ask me a
favor. He wanted my support.
So he wanted to call
in one of his loans, huh?
- Quid pro quo.
- That's right.
What was the
favor he did for you?
Johnny and I...
You were right.
My mother broke it up.
She sent him away
to medical school.
But what she didn't know
is that I was pregnant.
Gideon came to the rescue.
He sent me to California to
stay with some friends of his.
And he arranged for Pete
Luana and his wife to raise Kai,
my son.
Mr. McGarrett, they still
don't know who Kai is.
And I never told my mother.
Nor John Palahana.
Especially not John Palahana.
DISPATCHER [OVER
RADIO]: Central to McGarrett.
Central to McGarrett.
McGarrett.
Steve, I've got Chin on a
three-way patch from Hong Kong.
Go ahead, Chin.
Well, Frank Lahani was investigating
the Cathay Corporation here.
And guess who owns
40 percent of the stock?
- Tell me. CHIN: Kelly Trahune.
[MOUTHS] Kelly?
What was the Cathay
Corporation set up to do?
Proposed construction of a
multi-million-dollar resort complex
on the Kincaid Ranch.
Yeah, right next to a
proposed state park.
Well, Trahune is not
the only local involved.
CHIN: There's a
contractor, Paul Weaver.
My informant says he
ordered the hit on Lahani.
Well, we're gonna need
more than just hearsay
to nail him on a
murder charge, Chin.
CHIN: I got what we need.
Good, good.
- Danno, are you there?
- Yeah, Steve.
McGARRETT: Pick
Weaver up right away.
Okay.
And, Chin, come on home.
On my way.
Where is your
husband, Mrs. Trahune?
I don't know.
I don't understand this.
Your husband knew
about your mother's will
and tried to put this
development deal together.
Now, my guess is that
Dr. Webb found out about it,
threatened to blow
the whistle on him.
And your husband
killed him to silence him.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no, not Kelly.
KAI: Mrs. Julie, Mrs. Julie.
Mr. Trahune's at King Kam's
stall with Mrs. Constance.
They're having a fight.
Where's that?
Come on, I'll show
you. You stay here, Kai.
I've worked months
on this project.
I've heard all your arguments.
The park is one thing,
but I will never have a resort
on this ranch, and that is final.
We have to go through
with it. I've committed us.
- You've what?
- I made a deal.
Then that's your mistake.
Now, get out of my way.
- I am sick and tired of your attitude!
- Aah!
[YELLING]
[NEIGHING]
Mrs. Kincaid?
Mrs. Kincaid.
All right, this time
I give the orders.
[CONSTANCE GROANS]
You're going to the
hospital for x-rays.
[SIGHS]
There's an opening
on the hospital board.
What would you say
if I asked you to fill it?
I'm no yes-man.
Ha, ha. Good.
That might liven
things up a bit.
I've made some
mistakes along the line.
At the time, I thought I
was doing what was best.
- If I was wrong, I'm sorry.
- No.
Oh.
So long as I'm apologizing,
I've been pretty high-handed
with you, Mr. McGarrett.
But you must admit, you
come on pretty strong.
If I didn't, you would
have blown me away.
[CHUCKLES]
Please, come as
a guest sometime.
I'd like that, thank you.
I'll walk out with you.
You asked me what
Gideon wanted to talk about.
It wasn't just the
board meeting.
He wanted me to tell Johnny
and my mother about Kai.
Well, I guess it's all
out in the open now.
Not unless you want it to be.
You know, you're a lot
like Gideon, Mr. McGarrett.
I consider that a compliment.
I think it's truth time.
I think we're all
ready for it now.
Good.
Kincaid, he was shot.
I only know one way to
handle a murder case,
and discretion and
diplomacy may not be part of it.
Gideon Webb was a
legend in his own time.
He made me believe I could
make it through med school.
So you repaid him by trying to
stop him from operating forever?
I'm an expert with clay
pigeons. But if you're wondering
whether I could hit a man
swimming in the ocean at night...
McGARRETT: At
night, Mrs. Kincaid?
[HORSE NEIGHS AND MAN YELLS]
[PLAYING AND SINGING
"THE HUKILAU SONG"]
Oh, we're going to a hukilau
A huki huki, huki huki, hukilau
Everybody loves a hukilau
Where the laulau is
the kaukau At the hukilau
We throw our nets
out into the sea
And all the ama-ama
Come a-swimmin' to me
Oh, we're going to a hukilau
A huki huki, huki hukilau
What a wonderful day for fishin'
[SINGING CONTINUES]
May I have the
first hula, madame?
- Johnny.
- Mamu.
Ha, ha, how are you?
Maika'i. Come, come.
Well, what's this?
One big surprise for Haole Hao.
He one handsome
fella, eh, Johnny?
Yeah.
Golden jubilee,
50 years a doctor.
MAMU: How old
you figure doc to be?
Too old to perform surgery.
Nope.
Haole Hao is no iron
man anymore, Mamu.
We're all here to honor
him today, Dr. Palahana.
As he was, not as he is.
He's your colleague and
you owe him a great deal.
I'm well aware
of what I owe him.
I also have an oath to
the profession we share.
Does that mean you have
to destroy his self-respect?
No, he can still be the
grand old man of medicine.
I just want you to get him
out of the operating room.
He won't quit under fire.
If you drop your charges...
No way, not this time.
I've just come from a funeral I
hold him directly responsible for.
You hold?
You're overstepping
yourself, doctor.
I am not one of your paniolos
any longer, Mrs. Kincaid.
- Johnny.
- It's all right, Mamu.
The hospital board will
hear your charges tomorrow.
You've heard before. When
are you going to begin to listen?
Johnny.
You're a guest in my house
and Dr. Gideon Webb's associate.
I trust you will not
embarrass your mother
or abuse my hospitality by
airing your feelings here today.
I would never ever
embarrass my mother.
But let me warn you
that unless you take the
scalpel out of Dr. Webb's hands,
somebody else will end up dead.
[PLAYING HAWAIIAN MUSIC]
[LAUGHTER AND CHATTERING]
- Hey, Pete.
- Hey, Johnny.
Oh, I'm so glad you could come.
Well, I wouldn't wanna
miss Dr. Webb's big day.
No.
- Where is the guest of honor?
- Not here yet.
Punctuality isn't
Gideon's strong point,
particularly if
he's with a patient.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Well, so the, uh, voters don't think
I'm frittering away the whole afternoon,
perhaps I could take a look at
some of that proposed park property.
- I'd be delighted to show it to you, sir.
- Fine.
Constance, I just
want you to know
how much a park like
that means to the state.
Uh, I'm afraid my son-in-law
has overstated the situation, Philip.
I, uh, haven't made
up my mind yet.
Well, I wouldn't
wanna pressure you.
Oh, I'm doing enough of that.
Giving up part of this would
be like giving up part of myself.
Of course, we'd have
to, uh, consult Dr. Webb.
His land adjoins ours, you know.
Go, man, shake it,
all around the island.
You're a doctor now. You forget
how to dance like a cowboy?
Forgetting is what you do best.
Julie, your mother
just chewed me out.
Isn't it about time we
had a truce? Come on.
BOY: Hey, Dr. John,
come quick. Please, help.
CONSTANCE: What is it?
- Gideon.
- He's dead.
Oh, Gideon, why
wouldn't you listen?
Why wouldn't you stop
those marathon swims?
He didn't drown, Mrs. Kincaid.
He was shot.
[GASPS]
JAMESON: I want
you on this one, Steve.
It has to be handled with
discretion and diplomacy.
I only know one way to
handle a murder case,
and discretion and
diplomacy may not be part of it.
Gideon Webb was a
legend in his own time,
and people need heroes.
Governor, I'm sure you're aware
that heroes sometimes
have feet of clay, huh?
Dr. Webb and the Kincaids
have written proud chapters
in this island's history.
His death hit
Constance very hard.
Tell me more about Mrs. Kincaid.
An outstanding woman.
Runs a working cattle ranch,
sugar and pineapple operations,
and still has time for
community service.
But it's been an uphill struggle
since her husband was killed.
Killed? How was he killed?
- Accidentally, cleaning a gun.
- Tsk. Boy.
She's a good friend, Steve,
and I'm hoping that she won't be hurt
any more than she has been already.
I can't promise anything,
governor, but I'll try.
Thanks, Steve.
Oh, by the way,
what are these rumors I hear
about a state park on Kincaid land?
How did you get onto that?
Governor, you know that Five-0
never divulges a source, don't you?
[CHUCKLING]
Okay, Steve.
[MAMU SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
Beautiful song.
Beautiful people.
Beautiful to look
at, but not to touch.
Julie.
I'd better gather up my children
and get on back to school.
Somebody must have
pulled a lot of strings
to get permission to
bury him on his own land.
Yeah.
From what I heard,
he was quite a guy.
Newspaper said some
people thought Gideon Webb
was named after the Bible, and
some others thought he wrote it.
Nice custom, the big aloha.
Yeah.
Did he live here alone, Danno?
No, he had a
houseman named Akino.
See what he has to say. I'll
meet you back at the office.
I'd like to have a word
with Mrs. Kincaid first.
You want me to tell the hospital board
that the meeting has been postponed?
No, let's go ahead with it.
- Mrs. Kincaid?
- Yes.
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
Oh. Uh, my son-in-law,
Kelly Trahune.
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
How thoughtful of the governor
to send flowers and a
personal representative.
It's professional as well.
Five-0 will be investigating
Dr. Webb's murder.
I can assure you, Mr. McGarrett,
Gideon was an exemplary gentleman.
Everybody who
knew him loved him.
Yeah, all except one.
Uh, would you excuse us, please?
- Certainly.
- Come along, Kelly.
PETE: Haole Hao
is gonna be missed.
Some shoes to fill.
What size shoes
you wear, Johnny?
I like to think
I'm still growing.
Now you're gonna have
to grow up to be Haole Hao,
dragging yourself out of bed at
all hours, never enough sleep.
- You think he's hiring?
- No.
Kai, come on.
Oh, gotta go, Uncle Pete.
- So long, Dr. John.
- Bye-bye.
Everybody else here?
Come on children, let's go.
Let's go, come on, let's go.
Teacher says jump
in the fire pit, he would.
Big crush.
Well, the kid's got taste.
And you've got more
heart than sense,
raising an orphan
with all your own kids.
Needed somebody to inherit
the hand-me-downs. Come on.
DANNY: So Dr. Webb came home
in the afternoon, which was unusual,
and cancelled all his appointments,
which was also unusual.
And tells me to make drinks.
And Haole Hao
never drink in daytime.
- Did he seem disturbed?
- I think maybe so.
He talk on telephone
three or four times,
although I am hearing
only two when I bring drinks.
Any idea who he was talking to?
No.
Did you hear
anything that was said?
To one he says:
"You get more from Hong
Kong than your suits, my friend."
Then he says, "You
will have proof soon."
Hmm.
And, uh, what did
he say to the other?
He says:
"I have made substantial
deposits in our account,
and now time has
come for withdrawal."
Think carefully, Akino.
Did he say "my account"
or "our account"?
"Our account."
Then he tell the lady to come
here that night to talk about it.
- What lady?
- He no say.
Just tell me to make cold supper
for him and lady and take night off.
Then that Dr. Palahana come
and they have one big fight.
What about?
Say woman die. Say he
will stop him somehow.
DANNY: Akino didn't see
the lady who came to dinner.
He left after the quarrel
between Palahana and Webb.
Chin, find out what you can
about Dr. Webb's bank accounts.
I'm interested in those deposits
and withdrawals Akino mentioned.
- On my way.
- Duke, what did you come up with?
DUKE: The weapon was
a shotgun, 00 buckshot.
- That's it?
- That's it.
Have H.P.D. get some men with
metal detectors down on that beach.
- See what they can find.
- Right.
And Duke, uh, has the coroner
pinpointed time of death?
No, temperature of the
water retarded rigor mortis.
Oh, that's great. Okay,
Lani, that's all, thank you.
You're welcome.
Well, he was known for
early-morning and late-night swims.
So the murder could
have occurred either time.
Danno, did those phone
calls Akino mentioned
give you the impression that
Dr. Webb was pressuring someone?
Yeah, it sounded that way.
Could those calls have been
to members of the hospital
board to drum up support?
Or demand it.
Let's take a run out to the
hospital and see what we can find.
Since, uh, this has been
a difficult day for all of us,
I suggest we adjourn.
Thank you, Kelly.
- Check them out,
Danno. DANNY: Yeah.
Gentlemen?
Constance, we've got to make
a decision on the park project.
I'm due at the bank, Kelly.
Why go begging for
another extension on the loan
when a simple yes will wipe
the whole thing off the books?
I'm glad I caught
you, Mrs. Kincaid.
- I have a few questions...
- Can't this wait, McGarrett?
- We've had a very difficult day.
- It's all right, Kelly.
Sit down, please.
Yes?
I understand that today's
meeting was called
to hear certain charges
against Dr. Webb
brought by Dr. Palahana.
That's a confidential matter.
Charges that Dr. Webb
caused the death of a patient.
As Gideon is no longer
here to refute those charges,
there is no point
in discussing them.
But they could be the motive
for his murder, you know.
JULIE: I don't believe it.
I can't imagine anyone
wanting to kill Gideon.
To get back to
Dr. Palahana's charges,
it appears that
Dr. Webb was concerned
about the board's
reaction to them, huh?
He had no reason to be.
Dr. Webb made some telephone
calls the afternoon before his death.
Did he talk to you, Mr. Trahune?
No, he did not.
One of the calls was to a lady.
I don't find that unusual.
Oh, but she was the last, or
maybe next to the last person
to see the doctor alive.
I was not the lady.
No one said you were.
Mrs. Trahune?
KELLY: My wife was
with me all evening.
That eliminates the ladies
of the board, now, doesn't it?
- Will that be all, Mr. McGarrett?
- No, one more question.
Were Dr. Palahana's charges
ever really investigated?
Our staff report cites several possible
reasons for the fatal hemorrhage.
They do not agree with
Dr. Palahana's conclusions.
Kel,
thanks for covering for me.
Just doing my job, darling.
Love, honor and
protect, remember?
No, uh...
No questions about
where I was that night?
No questions.
Hey, not to worry, babe.
There's no way they
can tie you into this.
No way at all, okay?
And, uh, nothing can make
me change what I said in there.
See you later.
KELLY: Have you
guys seen Weaver?
Thanks.
- Hi, buddy boy.
WEAVER: Hey, ha, ha.
- Another day, another million, huh?
- Hang in there, you'll make it too.
So you, uh, take
care of your end?
I always deliver.
Have you persuaded her
ladyship to see things your way yet?
Oh, it won't be long.
She, uh, was waiting to get a
reaction on the park from Webb.
But now that he's dead,
the only thing that's holding
her back is sentiment.
But that doesn't pay bills, so
it's Kelly Trahune to the rescue.
JOHN: That was a good ride.
McGARRETT: Nice ride.
- Yeah, it helps me to unwind.
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
Oh, yeah.
Then Akino has told you about
my argument with Dr. Webb.
McGARRETT: Yes, he has.
We go back a long
way, the doctor and I.
- Too bad it ended the way it did.
- How did it end?
Oh, harsh words. A patient died
because that stubborn old man
wouldn't admit he was
washed up as a surgeon.
Well, the staff report
said other factors
could have been
the cause of death.
That figures.
The staff is under the
influence of Mrs. Kincaid.
It's been suggested that
you were after Dr. Webb's job.
I don't give a damn
about the job, McGarrett.
My only concern is patient care.
And that old man
was one of my heroes.
He made me believe I could
make it through med school.
He got me into one.
So you repaid him by trying to
stop him from operating forever?
Yeah.
But not by killing him.
I understand that Mrs. Kincaid
is an old friend of yours too.
[CHUCKLES]
I wouldn't put it that way.
I grew up on the ranch.
I worked there as a boy.
My mother still lives
there, runs the big house.
But the Kincaids did finance
your medical education, correct?
They wanted a lot of
miles between Julie and me.
The crown princess
doesn't marry a local cowboy.
Do you own a shotgun, doctor?
Yeah.
And if you're half the cop
you're cracked up to be,
you'd know I won the
junior championship
skeet shooting with it.
Where is it now?
Man, you're barking
up the wrong palm.
I haven't touched
that thing in years.
Then you'd have no
objection if we looked at it.
No.
It's at my mother's. I left it there
when I went to the mainland.
Haven't touched it since.
That King Kam, he's
some kind of horse.
Where's the
challenge if they're not?
[CHUCKLES]
I will get. Sure, I will get.
But it all big lie. Oh, my
Johnny, he's good boy.
[MAMU GRUMBLES]
CONSTANCE: What's wrong, Mamu?
Oh, he say go get
Johnny's gun, make tests.
He say Haole Hao
killed by same kind gun.
My boy, he's good boy,
he... Johnny no kill him.
No, of course, he didn't, Mamu.
Now, listen, bring
the gun to the study.
- All right?
- Okay.
Come inside, please.
Nonsense.
It's been established that Dr. Palahana
argued violently with Dr. Webb.
He owns a shotgun
and he's a crack shot.
If you live on a ranch, you
know how to handle guns.
I'm a crack shot myself.
Who stood to gain
from Dr. Webb's death?
It couldn't have been Johnny.
What makes you so sure?
The day of the hukilau,
he stood in this room
warning me to get Gideon
out of the operating room.
He said, "Unless you take
the scalpel out of his hands,
somebody else is
going to end up dead."
Now, why would he
have phrased it that way
if he knew Gideon
was already dead?
Why?
So that we would ask
ourselves that very question.
Hmm.
Well,
I shall see to it he has the
best legal counsel available.
I take care of my
people, Mr. McGarrett.
- Your people, Mrs. Kincaid?
- Johnny was born on this ranch.
The Palahanas have lived here
ever since my great grandfather
established his mission here.
Wasn't it their land before
the white man took it?
[CHUCKLES]
I might have known.
A bleeding-heart liberal
who believes the Hawaiians
were exploited by the missionaries.
The Hawaiians say that the
missionaries came to do good.
And they did very well.
Do my people look
unhappy? III-treated?
They have pension plans, a
hospital, a school for their children.
Taking care of them is
an enormous responsibility.
How are they going
to learn responsibility
if everything is taken
care of for them?
Whether you like it or not,
Mr. McGarrett, they're still child-like
as far as responsibility
and initiative are concerned.
I think initiative
is like a muscle.
Unless you're allowed
to use it, it atrophies.
Mr. McGarrett, my son
was killed in Vietnam.
My daughter has no child.
And at my death, the entire
estate will be left in trust
for the benefit of the
people who live here.
Johnny's gun.
- Here's your evidence.
- Thank you.
[PHONE RINGS]
Hello. Yes.
Mr. McGarrett. Yes, he's here.
Thank you. McGarrett.
Yeah, Danno, what have you got?
H.P.D. came across a
bill in Dr. Webb's desk.
What kind of bill, Danno?
Expenses for the services of
a private eye, Frank Lahani.
Oh, yeah, I know Frank Lahani.
Ex-H.P.D. He's a good man.
Bill includes airfare to
and from Hong Kong.
Hong Kong?
Danno, call Commissioner
Brian Slavin in Hong Kong.
See if he can run
Lahani down for us,
and maybe he can also find
out why Dr. Webb sent him there.
I have tried, Steve. Lahani's dropped
completely out of sight over there.
Well, see if Chin remembers
his Cantonese dialect
- and get him on the next plane.
- Right.
What has Hong Kong
got to do with all this?
I don't know, but
we're gonna find out.
Thank you.
Operator.
We've checked with Lahani's
wife, the girl in his office,
even his favorite
bartender, all dead ends.
Whoever he was investigating
was on the other end
of that phone conversation
with Dr. Webb, Danno.
Bet on it.
"You get more than your suits
from Hong Kong, my friend.
I will have proof soon."
The questions is,
has Lahani nailed somebody,
or was the doctor bluffing?
Either way, it could
spell motive for murder.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
- Yeah?
- Chin on the line from Hong Kong.
- Put him through.
- I'll put it on speaker.
Chin, can you read me?
CHIN [OVER SPEAKER]:
Loud and clear.
What have you got for us, Chin?
The reason Lahani dropped
out of sight is he's dead, Steve.
CHIN: It was a
very professional hit.
When was he killed?
The same day that Dr. Webb's
body washed up on the beach.
All right, Chin, stay with it.
The two murders
could be connected
and the key could be whoever
Lahani was investigating for Dr. Webb.
I'll get back to you
if anything breaks.
Good, Chin. Give my regards
to Commissioner Slavin.
CHIN: Will do.
Too bad about Lahani.
Seemed like a nice guy.
Yeah, he was a nice guy, Danno.
I wonder if his wife
has been notified.
See if you can find
out. I'll drop over later.
Yeah.
Steve, I've got something for you.
It was in Webb's safe-deposit box.
Bankbook?
I'm not sure what it is.
I made some blow-ups.
DANNY: Here.
Initials, dates, deposits
and withdrawals.
DUKE: Pages of them.
Strange. Have you
ever seen a passbook
that does not show the amounts
deposited and withdrawn?
And the dates aren't stamped
in. They're handwritten.
Yeah.
[McGARRETT SNAPS FINGERS]
Could it be his way
of keeping accounts?
Maybe Dr. Webb dealt in
something besides money.
Favors given, favors
received, for instance, huh?
Deposit could be
a favor granted.
Yeah, and withdrawals,
favors returned.
Yeah, which brings me
back to my original hunch
about those telephone calls.
Maybe Dr. Webb was concerned
about the outcome of
that hospital board meeting
and he was calling in
favors that people owed him.
So he looked for deposits
with the same initials
as members of the board.
Score one for you, Duke.
[DANNY AND DUKE CHUCKLE]
[CHUCKLES]
There you go, Kai.
Thanks, Dr. John.
- Is he the last?
- I guess so.
Well, business as usual, huh?
Doesn't it bother you that Five-0
is breathing down your neck?
Why? They're pros,
and I didn't do it.
JULIE: You don't
have to tell me that.
There's a chance they think
you did. They took your gun.
Nothing to lose sleep over. I
haven't used that thing in years.
[JULIE SIGHS]
Kane Hao, the new iron man.
No, I'm no iron man.
Who should know
that better than I.
You wanna talk
about it for real?
What? You mean it
wasn't real before?
Face it, you and me then, it
wouldn't have worked for you.
Oh, listen to the altruist.
He sold out but
he did it all for me.
No, not for you, for both of us.
At 17, giving up everything for
love? That's a very romantic notion.
But the reality of life without any
of the things you were used to...
Hey, it wasn't the poor
little rich girl who caved in.
Oh, but you got your
medical degree, right?
That should be more
than enough consolation.
Well, you didn't
exactly pine away.
And if you had cared that
much you could have waited.
Oh, no, someone came along
to patch up the pieces
of my shattered ego.
Someone more suitable
to the Kincaid image?
I hate you, Johnny.
God, I hate you for
what you threw away.
[GASPS]
Oh, excuse me.
- You looking for me?
- No, no, for Mrs. Kincaid.
Your mother told
me she might be here.
She left a little while ago.
You'll find her
down by the beach.
Oh, thank you.
[GUNSHOT]
CONSTANCE: Pull!
[GUNSHOT]
[GUN COCKS]
Mrs. Kincaid?
Ah, the ubiquitous
Mr. McGarrett.
Don't tell me, let me guess.
Uh, the ballistic
test proved negative.
So you're testing shells from
every 12-gauge on the island.
Pull.
[GUNSHOT]
Help yourself.
Oh, thank you.
You know, I'm not here to
harass you, Mrs. Kincaid.
I've got a job to do
and I'm trying to do it
as efficiently as possible.
You're not succeeding very well.
I'm not getting too
much cooperation either.
Pull.
[GUNSHOT]
Country doctors have
strange bookkeeping habits.
Gideon drove his
accountant up the wall.
Never sent a bill to anyone
who might come up short.
Oh, but he kept very detailed records
of favors given and favors received.
He always said friendship
was like a bank account.
Give and take,
deposit and withdrawal.
Your initials, uh, appeared
quite often in the deposit column.
Withdrawals also. I'd say
our account balanced out.
I have a theory. It involves
a man who had access
to some very private and
personal matters over the years.
Gideon Webb would
never ever have divulged
one iota of private information
between doctor and patient.
Are you suggesting blackmail?
I'm suggesting that the good
doctor used his information
to pressure certain members
of the board on his behalf.
I also think that one or more of them
lied about those final telephone calls.
The only person who
can prove that is dead.
Pull.
[GUNSHOT]
I couldn't resist
the temptation.
I'm an expert with clay pigeons.
But if you're wondering
whether I could hit a man
swimming in the ocean at night...
At night?
At night, Mrs. Kincaid?
- I assumed it was.
- Oh.
[GUN COCKS]
Pull.
[GUNSHOT]
Does that approximate
a lie-detector test?
Not nearly so accurate.
You'll want a shell
from the other gun.
You were brought into the
case by the governor, McGarrett.
I'm sure he'd take a
dim view of these tactics.
And he wouldn't want to lose
the state park, now, would he?
Would you want to
lose it, Mr. Trahune?
What is that supposed to mean?
The governor tells me that Mrs.
Kincaid's decision on the park
depended on what
Dr. Webb had to say about it.
Now, he wasn't by any chance
trying to block the deal, was he?
It's a proposed gift of valuable
land, not a deal, McGarrett.
I see.
The donor gives the
state a half a mile of beach
and takes an
enormous tax deduction.
Then he sells the land adjacent
to it to a private developer,
makes a few million profit.
While, uh, public
funds pay for roads
into the state park and
into the private development.
Now, you don't call that a deal?
Thank you, Mr. McGarrett.
You've settled the question for me.
There will be no
gift to the state.
You can't mean that, Constance.
WEAVER: Hurry up with
that lumber over there.
- No luck with her ladyship, huh?
- Don't worry.
- Bit off more than you can chew?
- I told you not to worry about it.
I'll change her mind. It's
gonna take longer, that's all.
You're running out
of time, buddy boy.
This development I designed
can go anywhere in the islands.
They wouldn't sell
me out, would they?
We're businessmen.
You better move very fast
or you're gonna end up
owning 40 percent of nothing.
What are you doing over here?
Anything?
How come people smart enough to
be doctors write so you can't read it?
Part of the medical mystique, Danno.
What have you got besides eye strain?
The date Mrs. Kincaid's husband
was killed and the date of the inquest
are marked as deposits under
her initials in Webb's bank book.
Favors rendered, maybe?
Death was ruled accidental.
He could have been
covering for someone.
DUKE: Steve?
- Yeah.
Run those through
ballistics, Duke.
Don't think you'll
need them, Steve.
Ballistics say the shell
we found on the beach
are a perfect match for the
gun owned by Dr. Palahana.
JOHN: Man, this is unreal.
I was so sure you guys would
come up with the right answers.
Can you account for your
time after you left Dr. Webb's?
Yeah, I went to my pad,
had a couple of belts, steak,
caught up on some reading
and went right to bed.
No phone calls? No visitors?
All you have is my unsupported
word. Pretty shaky, huh?
Mr. McGarrett,
I haven't touched
that gun in years.
Are you asking me to believe
that someone framed
you by using your shotgun?
Is that too far out?
They got possession of the gun,
shot Dr. Webb and then
managed to return it all unnoticed?
The doors are never locked out
there. People come and go all the time.
- Where do you get your suits, doctor?
- What?
Where do you have the suits
made? Hong Kong, perhaps?
I only own one and
I bought it in Waikiki.
I better get myself
a lawyer, huh?
You had motive, opportunity
and you own the murder weapon.
Now, if anyone else
was handling this case,
you'd be in custody now.
Don't ask me why, but I've got
a gut feeling about you, doctor.
I just hope that I'm not wrong.
Mr. McGarrett,
thank you.
Thank me when
and if I clear you.
DANNY: Figured
we'd have company.
I'm not sure,
Danno. I'm not sure.
I think there's a possibility
that someone used his feud with
Dr. Webb to their own advantage.
Possible. I may have the answer
to the Hong Kong connection, Steve.
- What's that?
- Julie Kincaid Trahune
was treated here
earlier this year
for an illness contacted
on a trip to Hong Kong.
- That's interesting.
- Checked her out in Webb's book.
Initials J.K.
There were two deposits
before her marriage.
The first was roughly the same time
John Palahana went to medical school.
The second was
later the same year.
I overheard her tell
Dr. Palahana that she hated him.
Enough to frame him?
I don't know, Danno.
I told the governor I'd try
not to hurt Mrs. Kincaid, but...
One way or another, this thing is
ending up right on her doorstep.
- Mrs. Kincaid?
- Oh.
Old superstition says
if you carry a horseshoe
that way, your luck will run out.
I could use some luck.
Well...
How did your husband really die?
He killed himself.
So Dr. Webb committed
perjury by calling it an accident.
To avoid a nasty scandal
for the children and me.
If you'll please excuse me.
KID 1: Come on, you can't ride
him! KID 2: You can ride him!
Hey, I'm not chicken.
I can ride King Kam.
KID 1: Oh, no
way. KID 2: No way.
- Hey, I'm not scared of him.
JULIE: You better be scared of her.
My mother would skin you
alive if you got on that horse.
Now, you come here.
You boys go on
home to supper. Go on.
Honestly.
[JULIE SCOFFS]
Are you out of your coconut?
You mad at me?
It's dumb to take dares. Maybe
you'll hurt yourself and him.
Hey.
Why don't you lead King
Kam back to his stall?
And throw a bridle on Lava,
because I feel like going riding, okay?
And, Kai,
don't ever let anybody stampede
you into doing something
until you're good and ready.
Sometimes it takes
more courage to say no.
- You dig?
- I dig, Mrs. Julie.
That boy.
That's why you hate
Dr. Palahana, isn't it?
That's what he threw away, huh?
One of the accounts in Dr. Webb's
bankbook has the initials J.K.
Couldn't that be Julie
Kincaid, your maiden name?
And there are two entries
in the deposit column.
One made about the time John
Palahana left for medical school,
the other eight months later.
I'm sorry, I don't know
what you're talking about.
McGARRETT: Julie.
Stop lying. Level with me.
All right.
I was the lady that Gideon
called the day before he was killed.
I went to his house and we
had dinner and we talked.
But he was alive when I
left, I swear to God he was.
What did he want to talk about?
The board meeting.
He wanted to ask me a
favor. He wanted my support.
So he wanted to call
in one of his loans, huh?
- Quid pro quo.
- That's right.
What was the
favor he did for you?
Johnny and I...
You were right.
My mother broke it up.
She sent him away
to medical school.
But what she didn't know
is that I was pregnant.
Gideon came to the rescue.
He sent me to California to
stay with some friends of his.
And he arranged for Pete
Luana and his wife to raise Kai,
my son.
Mr. McGarrett, they still
don't know who Kai is.
And I never told my mother.
Nor John Palahana.
Especially not John Palahana.
DISPATCHER [OVER
RADIO]: Central to McGarrett.
Central to McGarrett.
McGarrett.
Steve, I've got Chin on a
three-way patch from Hong Kong.
Go ahead, Chin.
Well, Frank Lahani was investigating
the Cathay Corporation here.
And guess who owns
40 percent of the stock?
- Tell me. CHIN: Kelly Trahune.
[MOUTHS] Kelly?
What was the Cathay
Corporation set up to do?
Proposed construction of a
multi-million-dollar resort complex
on the Kincaid Ranch.
Yeah, right next to a
proposed state park.
Well, Trahune is not
the only local involved.
CHIN: There's a
contractor, Paul Weaver.
My informant says he
ordered the hit on Lahani.
Well, we're gonna need
more than just hearsay
to nail him on a
murder charge, Chin.
CHIN: I got what we need.
Good, good.
- Danno, are you there?
- Yeah, Steve.
McGARRETT: Pick
Weaver up right away.
Okay.
And, Chin, come on home.
On my way.
Where is your
husband, Mrs. Trahune?
I don't know.
I don't understand this.
Your husband knew
about your mother's will
and tried to put this
development deal together.
Now, my guess is that
Dr. Webb found out about it,
threatened to blow
the whistle on him.
And your husband
killed him to silence him.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no, not Kelly.
KAI: Mrs. Julie, Mrs. Julie.
Mr. Trahune's at King Kam's
stall with Mrs. Constance.
They're having a fight.
Where's that?
Come on, I'll show
you. You stay here, Kai.
I've worked months
on this project.
I've heard all your arguments.
The park is one thing,
but I will never have a resort
on this ranch, and that is final.
We have to go through
with it. I've committed us.
- You've what?
- I made a deal.
Then that's your mistake.
Now, get out of my way.
- I am sick and tired of your attitude!
- Aah!
[YELLING]
[NEIGHING]
Mrs. Kincaid?
Mrs. Kincaid.
All right, this time
I give the orders.
[CONSTANCE GROANS]
You're going to the
hospital for x-rays.
[SIGHS]
There's an opening
on the hospital board.
What would you say
if I asked you to fill it?
I'm no yes-man.
Ha, ha. Good.
That might liven
things up a bit.
I've made some
mistakes along the line.
At the time, I thought I
was doing what was best.
- If I was wrong, I'm sorry.
- No.
Oh.
So long as I'm apologizing,
I've been pretty high-handed
with you, Mr. McGarrett.
But you must admit, you
come on pretty strong.
If I didn't, you would
have blown me away.
[CHUCKLES]
Please, come as
a guest sometime.
I'd like that, thank you.
I'll walk out with you.
You asked me what
Gideon wanted to talk about.
It wasn't just the
board meeting.
He wanted me to tell Johnny
and my mother about Kai.
Well, I guess it's all
out in the open now.
Not unless you want it to be.
You know, you're a lot
like Gideon, Mr. McGarrett.
I consider that a compliment.
I think it's truth time.
I think we're all
ready for it now.
Good.
