Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 10, Episode 2 - You Don't See Many Pirates These Days - full transcript

When the first mate of a cargo ship abruptly hijacks his own vessel, leading to the murder of a crew member and several woundings, McGarrett begins to suspect the oily shipping-company boss of possibly ordering the hijacking and apparent subsequent scuttling of the ship to keep its real cargo -- intercontinental ballistic missiles he is selling to the highest bidder -- secret.

COVALT: What the hell is this?
- We're taking the ship.

Yes, Mr. Stavrik,
what can I do for you?

You can find my ship.

Were you aware that your ship
was carrying military hardware?

Yes.

This is McGarrett, Hawaii
Five-0. Stay where you are.

What you got in
the oven, Greasy?

Just cooking some
homemade bread, sir.

Thought you went ashore
with the rest of the crew, Joey.

I'm hanging onto
my money, captain.

Honolulu eats it up
at about $10 an hour.



And I wanna get this letter
out on the morning launch.

Personal consignment
for Captain Edwin Covalt.

You need five
guys to deliver that?

Well, we're on our
way to another ship.

Will you take me to the
skipper? He's gotta sign for this.

Follow me, mate.

We're going to the
sickbay, captain.

COVALT: What the hell is this?
- We're taking the ship.

So be a nice fellow.

I wouldn't mind
shooting you, believe me.

Put your hands in your belts.

Do it now, please.

- To the hospital room.
- But I've got... I got bread in the oven.

Move it. Move it.



COVALT: Take your hands off...

[GUNFIRE]

[LAUGHS]

Why in the hell are
you using that gun?

I told you there
was to be no killing.

He was headed for shore. He
would've alerted the Coast Guard.

Stow that thing, Merkle.

And don't forget who's
running this show.

Aye, aye, sir.

Get up to the forward
hold and check that cargo.

[PHONE BUZZES]

Mr. Baylor, this is
the engine room.

It shouldn't be long.
We're up to pressure.

Do we have enough
fuel for 300 miles?

Yeah, easy. Maybe 500.

Okay.

COVALT: I wanna talk to your leader.
- You be nice, we'll be nice.

- Phew.
- What about the cargo?

It's right where you said it
was, snug as a baby in its crib.

Right. Run down the black ball.

[PHONE BUZZES]

Bridge.

All warmed up and
ready to go, Mr. Baylor.

- Okay. Give me a full speed ahead.
- Aye, aye.

DANNY: Steve?

Morning, Danno.

I have a feeling you're
gonna ruin the first day off

I've had in three months, right?

Sorry. We got a first.

Somebody hijacked a
thousand-ton cargo ship.

Well, that's unfortunate,

but it's also the Coast
Guard's jurisdiction.

- Have a nice day.
- Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Jonathan Kaye wants
to talk to you right away.

I've got him patched through
my car radio from Washington.

McGARRETT: All right.

When they make
an eight-day week,

somebody will figure out
a nine-day work schedule.

DANNY: There you go.

Morning, Jonathan.

Hate to bother you,
Steve. Priority one.

For the record, what
was the ship carrying?

The manifest lists
furniture, fabric, toys.

I didn't ask what the
manifest said, Jonathan.

Let's not play games, please.

We're not running
a furniture store.

Sorry, Steve.

But it's, uh, very delicate.
Closed doors all the way.

But I have to have
something to go on, Jonathan.

Well, a 160-foot freighter
shouldn't be too hard to find.

Oh, thanks, that's a big help.

I'd tell you if I could, Steve,

but this is strictly on
a need-to-know basis.

But there are things
that I need to know.

Were there hostages
taken, for instance?

Well, we're not sure.

It depends on whether it
was a hijacking or a mutiny.

Most of the crew
was on shore leave.

When you find it, just
button it up tight and call me.

My pleasure, Jonathan.
Thank you for all your help.

Okay, Danno.

Wait for me, I'll go
below and get dressed,

and we'll hit the Coast Guard.

Right.

Mr. McGarrett? I'm
Commander Hawkins.

Commander, my
associate, Danny Williams.

- Mr. Williams.
- How do you do?

I know you're not enchanted
with the idea of a state police unit

looking over your
shoulder, commander.

Well, I imagine you got the
same call I did from Washington.

Did anyone tell you why
they would want to steal a ship

loaded with cheap furniture?

No. So let's try
to find out, huh?

I imagine you've got
plenty of people in your files

who are capable
of that sort of thing.

- Lots of them.
- All right.

Now, that ship has a ten
to 12-hour head start on us.

Not knowing which
direction it's heading in,

we're trying to cover 10,000
square miles of ocean.

What class of ship?

Small freighter,
no special class.

How do you know when she left?

Well, there were shots
fired late yesterday afternoon.

The harbor master
called the Alderbaron

and the radio operator said
that they were shooting sharks.

But when the fuel barge arrived
this morning, there was no ship.

Then they needed
fuel, obviously.

Well, the chief engineer
happened to be ashore at the time

and he said they only had bunker
sea enough for 500 miles running.

- They could refuel at sea.
HAWKINS: Well, it's a possibility.

We have a C-130 flying
a parallel search track

on legs of 120 miles
north and south.

Also, H-52 helicopters and two
cutters working the search area.

With that much ocean,

it's, uh, like looking for a contact
lens in the Hula Bowl, isn't it?

HAWKINS: If we don't get
some idea of that ship's heading,

our search area could be up to a
quarter of a million square miles

by tomorrow.

Has the harbor check
been completed?

Yacht clubs, marinas,
the harbor master,

nobody saw the ship leave, and
most of the small craft were in.

Commander, I'd like to
talk to the crew members

who were ashore at the time.

Very well. I'll
call them right in.

Well, Danno,

you don't see many
pirates these days, do you?

Aye, Steve.

PILOT: Honolulu Rescue,
this is Coast Guard 1350.

Turning north,
starting a new leg.

PILOT [OVER RADIO]:
Visibility, five miles in rain showers.

Ceiling, 500 feet with a cloud
layer and a squall line to 6,000.

It's a good thing those planes
are having it rough with the weather.

Yeah, it's a good thing those
squalls are between us and them.

They're a good 120 miles west.

- And headed in the wrong
direction. MERKLE: Ha, ha.

Hey, where'd you learn so much
about Coast Guard operations?

BAYLOR: Oh, I used to monitor
their channel when I was a radio man.

This is a standard
general search.

It's all they can do without
knowing our position.

Did you rig the boat?

All right. Put the crew over.

But don't let any of them
come near the bridge.

And keep that gun
of yours put away.

[CHUCKLES]

Portuguese, stop the engine.

Stop the engine.

No, this was no
mutiny, Mr. McGarrett.

I mean, Captain
Covalt ran a good ship.

It doesn't make any sense.

Besides, I mean, who
would wait until Hawaii,

where you got the Coast Guard
and the Navy all over the pond?

McGARRETT: How long have
you been chief mate, Mr. Perka?

About, uh, seven weeks.

I used to be second mate

until the crew started
quitting in Singapore.

Quitting? Why?

Well, the chow was lousy.

I mean, there were
weevils in everything.

Then our paperwork
got all bollocksed up

after we, uh, delivered
our cargo at Port Sienyu.

Was the guerilla action
still going on there?

Ha, ha, it sure was. Yeah, we
almost didn't get out of there.

Liberation army was dropping
mortars all over the harbor.

You never saw anyone
unload a ship as fast as we did.

How many of the
crew quit in Singapore?

I don't know, I
guess there was five.

There was, uh, the chief mate and,
uh, an oiler and a wiper and two ABs.

Hell, I mean, you
couldn't blame them.

Everyone was tired of swinging
on the hook waiting for pay.

We didn't have a return cargo
so we were all shopping around.

McGARRETT: Commander?

Mr. McGarrett, do you
know Zeno Stavrik?

- Yes, he's the owner of the freighter.
- That's right.

And 50 others,
bigger and better.

He's on the telephone.

Thank you, Mr. Perka.

McGarrett.

STAVRIK: Good
morning, Mr. McGarrett.

Zeno Stavrik here.

McGARRETT [ON PHONE]: Yes,
Mr. Stavrik, what can I do for you?

You can find my ship.

That's exactly what the
Coast Guard is trying to do.

Trying is not good enough.

It's a maximum
effort, Mr. Stavrik.

They have C-130's, cutters,
helicopters on a wide search pattern.

I'm familiar with their search patterns.
What is your pattern at this point?

Without witnesses, we
can only hope to learn

the direction in
which they sailed.

Have you considered
the possibility of terrorists?

With your
international interests?

That would be a very
definite possibility.

However, we've received no demands
so far from them and no contact.

Whatever the
hijackers' plan may be,

I fear not only for
my ship, but the crew.

We share your
concern, Mr. Stavrik.

Mr. McGarrett, the Alderbaron
is the first-born of my fleet,

and I have a special
affection for her.

If this matter is not
resolved quickly,

others may take this
as a sign of weakness.

I assure you that we are
doing everything possible.

Well, I hope so.

But I would like to discuss this
matter with you, Mr. McGarrett.

My hotel, Regency
Hotel, 3 p.m. your time,

if that is convenient,
of course.

Very well. I'll be there.

- He wants his ship back now.
- No. Sooner.

[CHUCKLES]

Into the lifeboat.
This ain't a drill.

For God's sakes, at
least give us a bearing.

- The Coast Guard will pick you up.
- I wanna talk to your captain.

- Yeah, you're looking at him.
- I doubt it.

Captain, piracy is
worth a life sentence.

Killing is optional.

Now, move it.

If he won't come to
me, then I'll go to him.

You'll have to shoot me.

I will, captain. Trust me.

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOT]

PORTUGUESE: Hold it.

Into the boat.

BAYLOR: Mr. Merkle,
come to the bridge right now.

Damn it, I told you
to put that gun away.

Easy. I only scratched him.

You said you didn't want
anybody on the bridge.

He was gonna pay you a visit.

Well, just make certain there's
plenty of first aid equipment in that boat.

And don't fire that gun
again, do you understand?

Yeah, yeah. I'll hypnotize them.

Would you give us a position or
would that muck up your style?

You're in the Pacific Ocean.

Paddle north till you see
some little grass skirts.

How far? At least
you can tell us that.

- One hundred and fifty miles.
- Thanks.

MERKLE: I could
have done worse, mate.

I was gonna tie you to
a line and troll for sharks.

Bloody decent of you, mate.

PILOT [OVER RADIO]: Captain.

Have you sighted any freighters
around 160 feet, a thousand tons?

CAPTAIN [OVER RADIO]: Negative.

One oil tanker of Japanese
registry passed on an easterly course

at 1820 Greenwich, over.

PILOT: Thank you, out.

Hello, Mr. McGarrett. I'm
Stefan, Mr. Stavrik's assistant.

Just a moment please.

Sir, Mr. McGarrett to see you.

Mr. McGarrett, a pleasure.

Mr. Stavrik.

Intriguing, isn't it?

That an object so large
can become so invisible.

Intriguing, yeah.

But they must know something
about Coast Guard procedures.

Yes. As Mr. Churchill
said about the Russians:

"We have a riddle wrapped
in a mystery inside an enigma."

I'm not sure it's all that
mysterious, Mr. Stavrik.

Something about your
ship is worth a bold play,

and they're going for it.

Yes, but what?

I was about to ask you that.

Stefan. What's on the manifest?

The largest portion of
that cargo is teak furniture

manufactured in Malaysia,
loaded in Singapore.

And in Hong Kong they
took on a general cargo

of clothing, toys, radios.

Certainly not worth piracy.

For a maneuver
of this magnitude,

one must be inspired by
an extraordinary return.

Drugs or illegal aliens?

You mentioned that you
had some suggestion.

I think the search should
be concentrated to the east,

toward the mainland,
United States.

The cargo on board would bring
a higher price in your country.

You don't think they'd
be stupid enough

to try to land that
cargo, do you?

I believe my ship will
meet another vessel.

Either for fuel or
a transfer of cargo,

[PHONE RINGING]

which would be the
end of my vessel.

You figure they'd scuttle her.

- Probably. McGARRETT: Hmm.

STEFAN: Yes? McGARRETT:
That's very unusual.

Mr. McGarrett? For you.

Thank you. McGarrett.

Oh, yeah, Chin. What do you got?

Are they sure?

Have you notified the
Coast Guard? Good.

Good work, Chin. Thank you.

STAVRIK: Good news?

Your ship almost ran down a
local fishing vessel last night

about 20 miles
south-southwest of Honolulu.

That's hardly a course for
the mainland, Mr. Stavrik.

Coast Guard hopes
they'll sight her within hours.

Let's hope they find
her on the surface.

PILOT 1 [OVER RADIO]:
Honolulu Rescue. Coast Guard 1350.

I'm receiving an
emergency beacon on 121-5.

Position, 210 bearing from
Honolulu, approximately 90 miles, over.

PILOT 2: Coast Guard
1350, this is Honolulu Rescue.

Roger.

Cape Corwin's position is
2045 north, 158-32 west.

We will advise the Corwin.

Stand by on channel 16.

PILOT 1: Roger,
shifting channel 16.

Standing by. Out.

And you only saw
four men aboard?

ARFIE: There was another one,

but we never got a
good look at his face.

And one of the four,
definitely one of the four,

came up out of the forward hold.

The one with the beard. He's the
one that shot Joey and the captain.

- Was he the leader?
- We wouldn't be here if he was.

- What do you mean?
- He would've killed us like he did Joey.

But you said he set you adrift.

But somebody else
was calling the shots,

and it had to be the
guy we didn't see.

Steve. Captain's
still in surgery.

We'll have to wait until
they remove the slug.

What are his chances?

DANNY: Fifty-fifty.
McGARRETT: Hmm.

All right, gentlemen, we'll
get back to you. Thank you.

- This is the last load, Mr. Baylor.
- Okay.

Get over to the campsite and
get to work on the camouflage.

MERKLE: The Coast Guard
just picked up the debris.

Just came over the radio.

- They dropped the search?
- Looks like we're home free.

Then it's time to
see the paymaster.

[MERKLE CHUCKLES]

How big was the oil
slick, commander?

About what you'd expect
from a ship that low on fuel.

There's no other vessel in the area
so we have to assume it was scuttled.

What was the depth
where she went down?

About a thousand fathoms,
too deep for retrieval

with any equipment
we have around here.

We're bringing in the debris if
you'd like to put it through your lab.

Good. Good.

Have you notified
Stavrik about his ship?

We notified his jet pilot.

It seems that Stavrik has
started his own air search.

Very well, commander.
Thank you. I'll call you later.

DANNY: They sunk her, huh?

It looks that way.

But why, Danno, why?

And why did they set those
crewman afloat in a lifeboat

with an emergency
locator beacon?

Because they
wanted us to find them.

Maybe, maybe, but why?

Welcome, gentlemen.

I wish all my ships were
as punctual as yours.

Once you are in the channel, you
can set a course for the open sea

and abandon ship a
few miles from shore.

An hour later, she'll be
scuttled in 100 fathoms.

But if we set the
fuses for two hours,

the ship would
sink in 300 fathoms.

The depth is of less
consequence than the time factor.

If the ship were
sighted in the channel,

two hours would allow a
helicopter time to land on the deck

and find the explosives.

But if we're
doing this at night,

there's not much chance of
it being spotted in the dark.

I want the ship on the bottom
as soon as it clears the channel.

Stefan, the compensation.

STAVRIK: And this,
of course, is only half.

You'll receive the balance

when you deliver the
cargo tomorrow night.

This is only money.

You promised me a command.

And you'll get it
when your job is done.

Uh, what are you planning to do
with that, uh, cargo, Mr. Stavrik?

That does not concern you.

Well, these days it shouldn't
be too hard to find a buyer

for that sort of goods.

My compliments on your oil
slick and debris, Mr. Baylor.

The Coast Guard has
suspended its search.

Thanks, but I'm not
enjoying this much.

It's my first go at stealing.

It's hard on my stomach.

Yeah, so I noticed.

Shooting people doesn't make
me sleep any easier either.

It makes me realize
how desperate I am

to be working with a
bottom feeder like you.

Look, if you're after
love and kisses,

you should sign on
the good ship Hope,

deliver care packages
and be Mr. Wonderful.

Gentlemen, I have
confidence in both of you.

And now I must be on
my way back to Honolulu.

To lament to the
untimely loss of my ship.

And file your insurance claim.

That would be premature.

What have we got, Charlie?

Well, this is only part of the debris
the Coast Guard picked up, Steve.

But there's something
peculiar about all of it.

- Does it tell us anything?
- I don't know yet. I'm confused.

Tell me, how would
you scuttle a ship?

It's simple, just open the
seacocks and swim like hell. Why?

That's what's confusing.

All through this stuff I've
picked up traces of trinitrolin.

- That's TNT.
- Right.

You mean, why use explosives

when all you have to
do is open the seacocks?

Right again.

Well, what about the oil slick?

I've analyzed it too.
It's lubricating oil.

No fuel oil? No bunker sea?

No, no way.

Charlie, you may have
just raised a ship for us.

- Thank you.
- Try us again.

Gentlemen, I have a feeling the
good ship Alderbaron is still afloat

and somewhere in these islands.

- You mean it wasn't scuttled?
- That's exactly what I mean.

We made an assumption,
and that's not good police work.

Our pirates left an
oil slick and debris

to make us think
she had been scuttled

and we assumed it.

So the Coast Guard
would call off the search.

Exactly.

[PHONE BUZZES]

McGarrett.

WOMAN [OVER PHONE]:
Washington is on line one.

Jonathan Kaye.

Put him on scramble, please.

Yes, Jonathan.

Steve, I just got news that
the Alderbaron was sunk.

Have you got any
word on the cargo?

I'd say the answer to that is on
a need-to-know basis, Jonathan.

Come on, Steve.
This is critical.

It's critical, huh? Well,
it's crucial here that I know

what the hell is going
on aboard that ship.

If it's at the bottom of the
ocean, it doesn't matter.

Well, it's not at the
bottom of the ocean.

I think she's still afloat and I
have to know what I'm chasing.

Okay.

For your ears only.

The ship was carrying highly
sophisticated military equipment.

KAYE: Lightweight
anti-tank missiles.

Why didn't you
tell me that before?

It was top secret, Steve.

The military didn't want to
advertise what was aboard.

So that's why the hardware
was not on the manifest, huh?

Well, even the crew didn't
know what they were carrying.

- Did Stavrik know?
KAYE: We're not sure.

His ships have made these
clandestine deliveries before.

They've been
reliable in the past.

I'd be interested to know
what Stavrik has to say.

Yeah, well, so
would I, Jonathan.

So would I. Aloha.

The amount is correct?

The deposit slip is in order.

It is easy to see how you have
become a very wealthy man, Mr. Stavrik.

You sell your cargoes twice

and then collect
insurance on your vessel.

Well, as you know,
I have many vessels

and the money is not
the most important item

in this transaction.

Oh, you refer to
your need for oil.

A pressing need,
and no secret to you.

Yes, a large fleet can be
a quick road to bankruptcy

in these expensive times.

If one does not have
the right contacts.

You gave me your word.

And you gave us your guarantee
that the missiles would be delivered.

They are still a long
way from the destination,

and time is of the essence.

This is not as
easy as you think.

The local authorities are
more clever than I anticipated.

[CHUCKLES]

No more clever
than you, Mr. Stavrik.

Now we await your performance.

- Oh, Mr. Stavrik.
- Mr. McGarrett. I'm glad you waited.

I hope Stefan offered
you some refreshment.

No, thank you. I only
have a few minutes.

Oh, yes.

A man with your responsibilities
must have a very tight schedule.

At least the scuttling of my
ship relieves you of my problem.

Oh, no. No, not yet.

We have reason to believe
that your ship is still afloat.

I don't understand.

I thought there was
evidence of a sinking.

There was evidence.

False evidence, apparently.

A trick.

But I have a much more important
question to be answered, Mr. Stavrik.

Were you aware that your ship
was carrying military hardware?

Yes.

It was discharged
at Port Sienyu.

Why didn't you tell
me about this cargo?

[SIGHS]

Some wine?

No, thank you. I never use it.

Your government requires

that I keep matters of
that nature confidential.

And I do.

That's why the United States
ships very sensitive cargo my line.

Do you know for a fact

that this military
hardware was delivered?

Well, there were
signed invoices.

Captain Covalt, when he feels
better, can confirm it for you.

Were you entertaining the notion
that my company accepted payment

for a consignment
that was not delivered?

Oh, no, no. No, no. I was
just thinking that as a rule,

only the captain and
the chief mate know

what a ship loads
and discharges.

But of course, there could
be exceptions, couldn't there?

Mr. McGarrett?

A Mr. Williams for you.
You can take it right there.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, Danno. What do you got?

Steve, I just talked
to Captain Covalt.

He's still groggy from the operation,
but he remembers being on shore

when the cargo was
offloaded at Port Sienyu.

A Conroy Baylor
was the chief mate.

He was the officer in
charge of offloading.

Baylor? B-A-Y-L-O-R?

DANNY: Yeah. I
think he's our man.

Jumped the ship in Singapore,
but Captain Covalt remembers

hearing his voice yesterday
just after he was shot.

Thank you, Danno.
That's very interesting.

Are you familiar
with a Conroy Baylor?

A first mate.

I haven't met him personally,
only his application for master.

He wants his own ship.

But I would like to be
apprised of any developments.

These buccaneers have
an audacity and ingenuity

equal to Captain Morgan himself.

Perhaps. But they have it a
lot easier in one way, though.

They won't swing from the
yardarm when we catch them.

But we will put
them away for life.

Won't we, Mr. Stavrik?

Thank you.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

DISPATCHER [OVER RADIO]:
Central calling McGarrett.

Yeah, McGarrett. Go ahead.

DISPATCHER:
We're patching a call

from the State
Department in Washington.

Stand by, please.

KAYE [OVER RADIO]:
Steve, I'll make it brief.

Our sources in Port Sienyu

tell us that the Alderbaron's
cargo was never delivered.

- Well, Stavrik says it was.
KAYE: Well, then he's lying.

Our diplomatic channels
in the Middle East

have reason to believe
he's double-dealing.

Well, that's fraud, Jonathan.

Are you telling me to
arrest Zeno Stavrik?

Immediately.

There's a warrant waiting for
you at the U.S. attorney's office.

Okay, you've got him.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

McGARRETT: Mr. Stavrik?

Give me the front desk, please.

This is McGarrett, Hawaii
Five-0. I'm looking for Zeno Stavrik.

He left?

When did he check out?

I don't suppose he left
a forwarding address.

Athens, Greece.

Thank you.

MERKLE: Buy some
vino from the Filipino.

PORTUGUESE: Yeah, man.

[ALL CHUCKLE]

Pay off the mortgage

and buy some booties
for the cuties, Sven.

Think you're kidding, huh? I'm
gonna buy a trimaran, 40 footer.

Come see me in Tahiti
on my charter service.

Whew. And for the Portuguese,
a big hunk of cheese.

Thank you, sir.

Say, uh, who's the big
honcho paying for all this?

Mr. Anonymous.

Never heard of him.

And you're not likely to either.

Loose lips sink ships.

[HORN HONKS]

BAYLOR: Hold it.

Okay. Everyone stay.

We have a problem, Mr. Baylor.

The schedule for tomorrow
must be put into effect now.

See that the trucks are
moving within the hour.

- Where do we go?
- To Maui Airport.

I have charter space on
a Pan Am cargo carrier.

Why the rush?

Mr. McGarrett knows the
Alderbaron was not scuttled.

- Do we still blow the ship?
- No. Open the seacocks.

Let her settle where she is.

What will I tell the men
about the rest of their pay?

I'll be at the
airport with cash.

Okay, I'll see you there.

Yeah, and Stavrik's
plane took off?

You sure?

Did he file a flight plan?

Very well. Thank you.

We lose him?

Well, he's supposed to be
flying to Tahiti, but I don't buy it.

All right, Duke. Let's
see what we've got.

All right, now.

This side of Molokai
has coves and inlets,

but none of them are deep
enough for a ship that size.

Next.

Yeah.

And, uh, the south side of
Maui, highway running all along,

heavily traveled by
tourists, so that's out.

And there are condominiums
and hotels on the west end.

You know, there is an
isolated section of Maui up here

that could be a possibility.

Duke, let's see what
that slide looks like.

Hey, what's that?
Looks like a hot spot.

- You mean here?
- Yeah.

Sure does.

Let's see an enlargement
of that, please.

DANNY: Could be trucks.

You bet it could.

And there's a road leading from
there back to the main highway.

What better place
to hide a cargo, huh?

Duke, get Chin.
Get over to Maui.

Organize some
police search teams.

Commander and I will
meet you in Kahului.

On the way.

DANNY: Stavrik
left in such a hurry.

Could be we forced
him to change his plans.

No, he still has a few options.

There are three air strips on Maui
that are long enough for a cargo plane,

and there are lots of
coves here with deep water.

Yeah, but he wouldn't
use his own ships. Not now.

Well, he could charter
a ship from another line.

If he had time.

But Stavrik has to move
fast, and he knows it.

Commander, have your people

check every freighter in
these Maui waters, please.

Very well.

Danno, check the beach and
the wooded area around here.

If those are trucks, could
be what we're looking for.

Right.

Get me the computer
room, please.

Let's get this
stuff to the airport.

What about Portuguese
and the others?

They gotta look after the ship.

We'll pick up the money from
Stavrik, meet them in Lahaina.

You take the front
one, I'll come in this.

PIRATES [SINGING]:
Way ho, up she rises

Way ho, up she rises
Early in the morning

What do you say
To a drunken sailor?

This is the easy
end. Move it out.

Hold it! Police!

[GUNFIRE]

[GUNFIRE]

Stop right there. Drop it.

Danno. Danno, are you there?

Yeah, Chin. Go ahead.

We have three, one
wounded, two in custody.

DANNY: Good.

Baylor is not one
of them, however.

Anything on your end?

We had the right place,
but they checked out.

Oh, Steve's coming into
range. I'll get back to you, Chin.

Okay, 10-4.

This is McGarrett.
Come in, Danno.

You find anything, Danno?

DANNY [OVER
RADIO]: They cleared out.

Nothing here but the
camouflage equipment.

What about Chin?

He got three of them
on the road to the beach.

Is Baylor one of them?

No. He must be with the trucks.

It rained here this morning
so these tire tracks are new.

Stavrik's crew moves like
Rommel's Africa Corps.

- How's that?
- I mean he moves rapidly, pal.

Yeah, I read you loud and clear.

That could be it.
We're on our way.

Hey, you guys. Easy with
that stuff. It's expensive.

- You understand what I want, Merkle?
- Yes, sir.

And of course, there
is always a bonus

for those who have
to do the difficult.

I understand that too.

- Did you get the money?
- He wants to give it to you.

He, uh... He has
a surprise for you.

A surprise?

Well, aren't you the man
who wanted his own ship?

You know, one thing about
Stavrik, he treats his people right.

BAYLOR: Your cargo's
aboard, Mr. Stavrik.

You have done an
excellent job, captain.

Join me. My jet
is waiting for us.

Hay, wait a minute. I
haven't paid off my crew.

They're waiting in Lahaina.

They're gonna wait
a long time, Baylor.

It's unfortunate, Baylor. The
authorities have identified you.

What he's saying is he
can't afford you anymore.

Now, move.

[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]

Stavrik. This is
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.

Stay where you are.

[GUNSHOT]

[SIREN WAILING]

[GUNFIRE]

McGARRETT: Hold it!
Throw your weapons out.

DANNY: Get out.
Hands up. Turn around.

I am a foreign national.

I have committed no
crime in your country.

Really?

McGARRETT:
Commander, open that crate.

Open this crate, please.

McGARRETT: Furniture, huh?

Not too comfortable, is it?

Let's go.

All right, gentlemen,
book him. Murder one.

- Are you McGarrett?
- Yeah.

My testimony should be
worth something to you.

Sure, if it's truthful.
