Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 10, Episode 21 - Frozen Assets - full transcript
A mystery writer (a carbon copy of Mildred Natwick's character in the TV series The Snoop Sisters; see also trivia for more of this) goes to investigate a cryogenics foundation which purports to freeze dead people and revive them when a cure can be found for their diseases. But the writer soon figures out that the frozen victims never really wake up (a "Revival" is staged bu an employee), and the "foundation" is actually getting them to sign over their assets, and killing them.
KIRK: Open the
air valves, please.
You went there pretending
to be interested in cryogenics
when all the time
you were snooping.
I know what happened to
Elizabeth. She was murdered.
Miss Shand, do you
know what you're doing?
I'm preparing a trap.
To satisfy Elizabeth Hubbard's
attorneys, they would like an autopsy.
An autopsy is out of the
question, Mr. McGarrett.
McGARRETT: The belief
is that you have a tumor.
And that the
prognosis is terminal.
Thank you.
Dr. Kenneth Kirk, our director.
Miss Millicent Shand.
It's a pleasure to welcome you
to the foundation, Miss Shand.
Lovely.
Thank you, Norman.
- Lovely.
- May I show you around?
This is the sanitarium adjunct
of the foundation, Miss Shand.
Complete with hospital and
medical facilities, of course.
But actually, the word
sanitarium is a misnomer.
Our guests or signatories, if you
will, live a life of retirement, uh,
more in, uh, country club
fashion, you might say.
MILLICENT: Hmm. They don't
seem to be just waiting for death.
KIRK: Oh, by no means,
any more than you would.
Well, I understand you have
many famous people here.
Oh, 23 of world
renown, to be exact.
Oh, goodness.
You know, when we heard
that, uh, you were looking
for a place yourself, the
prospect was very exciting for us.
I must confess that
I'm a great fan of yours.
- Oh.
- And your creation,
the world famous detective,
Henri Reynaud, the Sûreté.
You might say that, uh, in
your case, crime does pay.
Quite well, Dr. Kirk.
- Ha, ha.
- Quite well, indeed.
As you probably
know, Miss Shand,
uh, cryogenics is the
study of low temperatures.
And our branch deals
with the, uh, suspension and
immobilization of the human body
in temperatures as
close to zero as possible.
This way, I'll show you.
At these temperatures, the
ravages of nature stopped.
The body preserved.
Until such time...
Uh, oh, years, centuries,
even millenniums from now.
When a cure is discovered,
bodies normalized
and brought back to life.
Fascinating, doctor.
It's almost
immortality, isn't it?
Exactly, Miss Shand.
That is our ultimate goal.
Miss Shand...
You seem to be in
such perfect health.
If I may ask, what is
your medical problem?
Hmm. My heart, doctor.
I see.
I've been told my
condition isn't critical now,
but I shall make my
decision about signing in
within the next 24 hours.
Hmm.
But listen to me, Sonny.
Freezing people, bringing
them back to life, what rubbish.
Millicent, you went there pretending
to be interested in cryogenics
when all the time
you were snooping
to find out about your
friend, Elizabeth Hubbard.
I went there undercover, Sonny.
And I know what
happened to Elizabeth.
She was murdered.
Well, that's a very serious
charge, Miss Shand.
Some sincere people
believe in this process.
When I saw her in that crypt
or tube or whatever you call it,
I knew she was murdered.
You just knew?
I got that letter two
weeks after she wrote it
when I returned
home from abroad.
She died the day she wrote it.
But she was terminally ill,
she says so herself in this letter.
That's not germane to the issue.
She had months
to live, even years.
She and I had the same
doctor in San Francisco,
and he was as surprised
and shocked as I was.
Read the letter
again, Mr. McGarrett.
There are all sorts
of clues in there.
Doesn't Elizabeth say she was
going to leave the foundation?
No, no, "thinking of leaving"
is the phrase she used.
She said a friend was leaving.
Ahem. But all this is
circumstantial, Millicent.
What would be the
motive for her murder?
Henri Reynaud says there are
only three motives for murder:
passion, fear and avarice.
Elizabeth didn't inspire
passion at her age
nor, gentle soul
that she was, fear.
That leaves only avarice.
She bequeathed $2 million to
the foundation when she signed in.
They've got it now.
Governor, I, uh...
I think we should
look into this.
That sounds very lah-di-dah.
Elizabeth was as close
to me as a sister, Sonny.
I expect a thorough
investigation.
Don't you worry about a thing.
It was a pleasure meeting
you, Mr. McGarrett.
If you need any help,
don't hesitate to call on me.
Oh, thank you.
I have written 34
mystery novels,
and Henri Reynaud's
M.O. is at your disposal.
She doesn't suffer from
insecurity, does she?
[CHUCKLES]
Sonny?
Well, uh, it's a nickname.
I was a very
good-natured, happy kid.
This, uh, Kirk Foundation is a licensed,
reputable, scientific organization,
and the investigation
must be discreet.
And unless you wanna find me
and you and this whole situation
in her next book, you'd,
uh, better get on it right now.
What...? What...?
- What are you grinning at?
- Nothing, sir.
Thank you.
KIRK: Seems rather odd that
Elizabeth Hubbard's attorney wrote
telling you that she
wanted to leave.
She never mentioned it to us.
When was that, Mr. McGarrett?
Her letter was
dated January 8th.
Hmm. Shame, same day she died.
Is that significant?
Oh, fear, a mental
imbalance preceding her death
are symptomatic
with her illness.
Strange. Uh...
She said in her letter she
never felt better that day.
The same day she so
desperately wanted to leave.
Poor Elizabeth, always
hallucinating, fantasizing.
I assume that her will
has been filed for probate.
Naturally, as legatees.
Our clients are our
only source of funds.
No offense meant, doctor,
that's a routine question.
One more thing.
To satisfy Elizabeth
Hubbard's attorneys,
they would like an autopsy.
I trust you won't object to one?
Of course I object.
An autopsy is out of the
question, Mr. McGarrett.
Oh?
We'll see what the attorney
general has to say about that.
Thank you, doctor.
Of course it's out of the
question, as far as he's concerned.
See, performing an autopsy would
involve the removal of the brain
as well as other organs.
And that would defeat
the whole purpose
of the cryogenic process.
So I can't get a court
order to exhume?
Or should I say, to
thaw out? Ha-ha-ha.
Well, you might get a
judge to give you an order.
But then Dr. Kirk will get another
judge to give another court order
enjoining you from
carrying this one out.
Then you and Dr. Kirk
would be leapfrogging
all the way to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
There's that convoluted
legal mind of yours at work.
Well, if a person
were to leave a will,
wherein she provides
that she would like her body
preserved cryogenically
after her death,
and then she leaves the
money to carry out that request,
now who has a right to come
along and cancel her out?
No one. No one.
Providing that she
died of natural causes.
I mean, if she is gonna
be brought back to life,
is she really dead now?
If not, the autopsy
would kill her for sure.
Oh, I don't know, Kwan.
This whole thing
has got me upset.
But reason with me,
what if a rich one
was about to get away
as Miss Shand
thinks her friend was?
She threatens to change
her will, and to move out.
What do you think Kirk would do?
How do you think he'd handle that?
Maybe what Miss Shand
thinks he did, you know.
Push up her death a few months.
And even if she was terminally ill
and he did indeed push up her death,
that would be murder.
Sure. Hmm.
That's fascinating.
Sounds like it could
be a perfect crime.
Well, I gotta go.
I'm due back in court.
Thank you.
And if it is murder, I
want the cold facts.
[CHUCKLES]
MILLICENT: My
goodness, that's interesting.
That's very interesting.
No chance for an autopsy.
What an intriguing
problem for Henri Reynaud.
How would he
overcome that obstacle?
I'd be interested
to know that myself.
He wouldn't even try.
He'd get around it somehow.
Oh, he would now?
How?
What are you doing
about it, Mr. McGarrett?
What are we doing about it?
We're looking into the
foundation's finances,
their death certificates,
any unusual happenings
at or near the time of death,
and we're trying to find this
friend of Elizabeth Hubbard's
who was supposed to be leaving.
Now, any other suggestions?
Yes, plod along, knock
on doors, police routine.
Yes, police routine, Miss Shand.
Mr. McGarrett, we are
dealing with a diabolical rascal.
A very clever murderer who
has devised a protective screen
unparalleled in
criminal history.
No, in this case, ordinary
methods won't work.
Miss Shand, I advise you to
be careful and leave this to us.
Henri would figure out an
unusual course of investigation.
A different way
to uncover proof.
He would create a diversion.
Miss Shand. Miss Shand.
Please, leave this
to the professionals.
Forgive me, young man.
You are a policeman, a special
kind of policeman, that's true.
But you haven't the latitude
an independent investigator has.
[SPEAKS IN HAWAIIAN]
[SIGHS]
I can't tell you how happy
we all are, Miss Shand.
My bequest will include all present
and future book royalties, doctor.
And to be held
in trust, of course.
And I hope many, many
more books to come.
Mm-hm.
Uh, Norman.
Miss Shand is ready for
a complete physical now.
I know that you'll
be very happy.
I'm sure I will.
The Kirk Foundation was
incorporated nine years ago
as a nonprofit organization.
Managing director, Kenneth
Kirk, assistant, Norman Pryce,
five nurses in attendance,
two physicians, research staff,
two doctorates in biochemistry,
two cryogenic engineers.
Well, the whole staff can't
be in on the conspiracy.
Where'd you get this
information, Danno?
Corporation commissioner.
DUKE: They maintain two
bank accounts in town, Steve.
Low five figures, for
payroll and current bills.
- How many on the payroll?
- Twenty eight.
The largest salary
is $1200 a week.
Ah. Dr. Kirk's?
No, Steve. Philip Gerard.
- Who's he?
- Chef.
They run a gourmet kitchen.
Well, that's not out of line.
What about the
monies left in trust?
More than, uh, $17 million
under their conservatorship.
Okay, uh, let's zero in on that.
Check for expense accounts,
loans, management fees and so forth.
Someone might be skimming.
They have more
than, uh, 40 signatories
outstanding at the foundation.
All wealthy, I suppose.
Oh, yes.
Chin?
And all of them wanting to take it
with them wherever they're going.
Anything unusual
about their deaths?
I checked with the coroner's.
Besides Elizabeth Hubbard,
uh, there were two others
who met unusual deaths.
When was that?
Uh, first, about a
year and a half ago.
He was diagnosed as terminal cancer,
but died suddenly of a heart attack.
Second was, uh, also
diagnosed terminal,
but was an accident
victim a couple weeks ago.
His name was Malcolm Craigy.
What date?
January 8th.
It's the same as
Elizabeth Hubbard's.
CHIN HO: There's
another coincidence, Steve.
I don't know if it
means anything.
The same nurse
attended both those men
and the Hubbard woman.
[PHONE RINGS]
Yes? Who's this?
Steve, for you. Miss Shand.
Yes, Miss Shand?
You did what?
Signed in.
At the Kirk Foundation?
Yes, Mr. McGarrett.
Miss Shand, do you
know what you're doing?
Certainly, I know.
I'm preparing a trap.
How, pray tell?
I've given them a false
story of a heart ailment,
and I've taken their
physical examination.
Now they will confirm the
non-existent heart trouble,
which will flush them out as
the fakes and murderers they are.
We were planning to put an
experienced police operative in there,
undercover.
Now do you realize the
danger that you're in?
It's already done,
Mr. McGarrett.
I'm waiting now for results.
We'll have them right
where we want them,
right in the palms of our hands.
I hope you don't end
up in cold storage.
Someone's coming, Mr. McGarrett.
I'll talk to you later.
Lani, have my car
brought around, please.
- Good morning, Miss Shand.
- Morning, Dr. Kirk.
- I hope I'm not disturbing you.
- Not at all.
- Won't you sit down?
- Thank you.
Very nice to see you.
Would you like some tea?
No, no, thank you.
I just brought over the, uh,
results of your heart examination.
I thought I'd bring
them over personally.
Oh, that's very kind of you,
doctor. I hope it isn't too bad.
- Not bad at all.
- What?
There's absolutely nothing
wrong with your heart.
There isn't?
No, the, uh, doctor, whatever he
saw or thought he saw in your EKG,
we couldn't find it at all.
Your laboratory?
Ha, ha. I know it's a
shock, but a pleasant one.
Perhaps, uh, your other tests
just showed an aberration.
It happens often with EKG.
And your diagnosis is,
nothing wrong with my heart.
You are in top
shape, Miss Shand.
Congratulations.
Well, that is good news.
He came to tell me there is
nothing wrong with my heart.
- I was afraid of that.
- You expected it?
Well, what would you think
if you were in Kirk's place
and someone came to
you with a phony illness?
But he doesn't
think it was a phony.
He said himself, heart trouble
is frequently misdiagnosed,
an aberration in the EKG.
No, something else
must have alerted him.
I hope you weren't
heavy-handed, Mr. McGarrett.
Please.
Now he may be on the alert.
We must proceed
with extreme caution.
Henri, of course,
would have anticipated.
[PHONE RINGS]
Excuse me.
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Pryce?
Well, he was here. He
left about ten minutes ago.
Which gland?
What does that mean?
Oh, yes, I see.
Yes, of course.
Thank you, Mr. Pryce.
That was Dr. Kirk's assistant.
It seems Dr. Kirk was sent
only the results of my heart test.
Now their laboratory
reports a serious condition
with my pineal gland.
Of course.
He's not gonna let a
plum like you get away.
A plum.
I don't believe it.
Why, I never felt
better in my life.
They are just more devious
than I thought, aren't they?
There's one sure
way to find out.
May I use your phone?
Do.
Dr. Char, please.
It's McGarrett.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
- Yes?
- Mrs. Sutherland?
Yes.
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
May I speak to you
about your father?
Malcolm Craigy.
Let's step outside. The baby's
sleeping in the front room.
What was it you wanted to know?
Well, actually, I...
I'd like to talk to you
about his death, if I may.
Why?
This is an official
police investigation.
Could you tell me, was he living at
the Kirk Foundation when he died?
Yes.
But he was struck
by a hit-and-run driver
on his way over here to visit.
He stepped off a curb
and a car smashed into him.
He died an hour
later at the foundation.
Was he planning
on leaving there?
He was considering it.
I wanted him to.
I just about had him convinced
to leave and then it happened.
If he'd left there a day
earlier, he'd be alive today.
And no matter what they say,
I don't believe he's going
to be alive in the future.
This investigation,
what's it about?
The foundation?
Well, if you bear with me
and give us a little more time
I might have some answers
for you, Mrs. Sutherland.
Maybe a lot more.
Thank you.
McGARRETT: How do you
find a cure for smashed brains?
Now or a thousand
years from now?
And why go through the whole
process of freezing without any hope?
- Well, for his money, of course.
- Yeah.
It's beginning to make sense.
I think I can guess at what
happened earlier this month.
What do you figure, Steve?
I figure that, uh, Elizabeth Hubbard
and Malcolm Craigy were good friends.
They probably talked
about leaving the foundation.
In fact, Craigy had made
up his mind to leave.
He was going to live
with his daughter Lucy.
- As Elizabeth wrote me.
- Right.
But before Craigy
could withdraw formally,
before he could, uh, announce
his intentions in writing,
they, uh, arranged
for his accident.
- That was on the eighth.
- Right.
And then when Elizabeth
discovered what they had done to him,
she probably panicked.
Tried to run away,
figuring she was next.
And that took care of her.
Well, that's my guess, anyway.
Now all we need is proof.
[PHONE RINGING]
McGarrett.
Yes, doctor?
What?
No possible error?
Yes, doctor, so am I.
Thank you.
Well, Mr. McGarrett?
Miss Shand...
I regret to say,
an independent medical laboratory
confirms the foundation's diagnosis.
The belief is that you have
a tumor in the pineal gland
and that the
prognosis is terminal.
So I have decided to
go back to the mainland
for a complete physical checkup,
possibly to the Lahey Clinic in Boston.
Well, I think that's
a wise decision.
Another opinion can't hurt.
If I decide then
not to return here,
a letter from my attorney will abrogate
my contract with the foundation.
- Correct?
- Well, of course.
When did you plan on leaving?
Tomorrow, at the latest.
Oh, that's a pity.
I was hoping that you could take a
more in-depth look into cryogenics,
which is far more advanced here
than anywhere else in the world.
Oh... But you did
show me around.
And let me sample
your magnificent cuisine.
Well, superficially.
Uh, Miss Shand...
I'm gonna make an
exception with you.
- Oh?
- Our first experiment in resuscitation.
[GASPS]
James Royce died of
Hodgkin's disease six years ago.
He is in suspension
in our chambers now.
A cure has not been found for
the disease, but a palliative has.
And you're going to
bring him back to life.
He'll be our first.
- When?
- Tomorrow.
Of course that will mean that
you'd have to postpone your trip
to the mainland.
But you can stay here with us.
I'm sure that you
would enjoy our facilities.
Dr. Kirk...
I accept.
McGARRETT: She didn't
return to her hotel last night
and she didn't leave
word where she was going.
The governor hasn't
heard from her either.
There are no plane
reservations in her name
for Boston or anywhere else.
Then I have to assume
she's still on the island.
What do you think, Steve?
Shall we try the Kirk Foundation?
No, I don't think so, Danno.
Any inquiry would alert
them if she is still there.
[PHONE RINGING]
Williams, Five-0.
Yes. Uh, hold on a minute.
Steve, she's there.
Miss Shand?
Yes, I see you've taken things
into your own hands
again, haven't you?
Uh...
I really believe that you're
in danger, grave danger.
I'm not supposed to
say anything about this.
So, you, please,
don't let it out.
But this afternoon,
someone who has been
in suspension for six years
is going to be
brought back to life.
You mean they're actually
gonna thaw someone out?
And they're permitting
you to watch?
Mm-hm.
Ha, ha. Oh, God.
I see.
Well, my suggestion to you, and I
can't emphasize this too strongly,
is to be careful, very careful.
I don't want any more
tragedies out there.
Yes, of course.
Thank you.
Kirk invited her to watch their
first experiment in resuscitation.
Danno, we've got to get
you out there, undercover,
somehow to see
what they're doing.
How do we do that?
I've got one idea.
Lani, get me the president of,
uh, Oahu Power Company, please.
It's about time.
We've got an unexpected power
outage in our Science Building.
Well, lead us to it.
We've got a demonstration
starting less than 90 minutes.
We're operating on our backup
system. If that should go...
We'll take care of it.
Hey.
How long do you
think it will take?
Oh, less than an
hour and a half.
We have to check all the lines.
If you need anything, I'll be
downstairs at the chamber.
Thank you.
- Temperature?
- Temperature, plus 45, rising.
Good.
Duke.
[WHISPERS] What are they doing?
This is it, chum.
Showtime.
Open the air valves, please.
Yes, sir.
This process of
normalizing temperature
from minus 272 degrees
has been going on for
more than 24 hours now.
- Wha...? MAN: Fifty-two...
Fifty-five...
Sixty, 61...
We're on city power now, right?
- Yes, doctor.
MAN: Sixty-five...
Sixty-nine, 70, 71...
Seventy-two...
Eighty...
Eighty-five...
Atmosphere, normal, doctor.
Ninety-one...
Ninety-two, 93...
Ninety-four, 95...
Ninety-six, 97...
Ninety-eight...
- Ninety-nine...
- Hold the temperature.
Electrodes ready?
They're ready.
Number one.
Number two.
[MACHINE BEEPS]
Come on, man.
Come on.
This is the most
critical moment.
The heart has to
start pumping again.
Extraordinary.
[BEEPING]
Positive, doctor.
Heartbeat started.
Would you get him out, please?
Mr. Royce.
Mr. James Royce.
Where's my cigarette?
I thought you
were trying to quit.
Oh.
[APPLAUSE]
He said what?
"Where's my cigarette?"
First words out of his mouth.
He must have been smoking his
last cigarette before he passed out.
- What have you two been smoking?
- Ha, ha.
Steve, if you'd been there,
you'd gotten a chill yourself.
A dead man, dead six
years, coming back to life?
You're out of your gourds.
Don't believe us? Ask the
older people who watched.
It was a trick, fellas.
A big magic show, don't
you understand that?
You didn't believe it, did you?
DANNY: Steve, I'll tell you.
Now I watched the whole procedure
with, uh, pardon the expression,
icy detachment.
And I tell you, it was uncanny.
[PHONE RINGS]
McGarrett.
Yes, Dr. Char?
When was that?
Are you sure?
Absolutely certain?
And it's the university
lab this time?
Very well, thank you.
We're on our way.
Let's go, they've got something.
Hello.
How are we doing today?
Very well. Thank you.
This will hurt for
only a second.
I'm sorry, doctor.
Miss Shand won't let
me give her the injection.
Hmm.
I'll tell you what, nurse, we'll
add it to her supper tray, all right?
- Yes, doctor.
- Thank you.
That's funny.
When I got his report on the phone,
I compared it with the first report
from the independent
lab, The Rex Lab.
- It's different?
- Not different.
The diagnosis was the
same, but the degree wasn't.
Right, the count is lower.
You mean, as if the
patient was getting better?
Mm-mm. This is a glandular
problem that doesn't get better.
Well, maybe it just looks
like a glandular problem.
You have some technical
knowledge in this field?
Oh, no, no, no, just
following a hunch, doc.
You be surprised how
much of our work is intuition.
Now you know a medical
problem when you see one.
We know an illegal scam.
Can you verify whether Miss
Shand's problem is real or a phony?
It may take a little time.
You've got it. We'll wait.
Miss Shand?
Miss Shand?
Where are you?
[DOOR OPENS]
What is it, nurse?
Miss Shand is not in
her apartment, doctor.
All right, carry on.
Miss Shand is not in her...
Miss Shand is not
in her apartment.
Yeah, alert the guards.
And have them monitor the gate.
Right.
Steve, how would they get
something introduced into her blood
without her knowing it?
I assume that, when she
took their physical exam
along with taking
blood samples from her,
they injected
something into her.
That is what happened, doc.
How long will it take
to get some answers?
I suggested some short cuts.
He knows what to look for.
Have some more coffee.
Yeah.
I know what a traumatic
experience it must be.
Mr. Royce, going to sleep and
waking up to find six years have passed.
- That's right.
- But it's absolutely fascinating to me.
I'm a writer, a mystery writer.
And what you have gone through
is the greatest mystery of all.
I can't talk about it.
I've been told there isn't
supposed to be any publicity on this.
A mystery of life and death.
Now you can answer the question
the world's greatest philosophers
have speculated about.
What was it like?
Being dead, Mr. Royce?
Now, look, Miss or Mrs...
Shand, Millicent Shand.
Ah... The mystery writer.
Henri Reynaud.
I've read every one of your...
I'll autograph them
all for you, Mr. Royce.
Was it cold?
Well, yes, in a way.
Did you feel anything?
No?
No, just... What? Just what?
The coldness.
Of course, of space.
Like, uh, outer space.
Limbo?
Yeah.
Uh, somewhere between
heaven and earth.
And waiting, and not belonging.
Alone.
Nowhere any life waiting.
Everything frozen.
Time frozen, thoughts
frozen, all life frozen.
Yes.
Eternity stopped.
Yes.
How did you know?
It was just like that.
Just exactly like
that, Miss Shand.
I should know, Mr. Royce.
Henri Reynaud faced just such
a situation with an amnesiac.
Ah... Right.
I remember.
You got the Edgar Award for
the best detective story of the year.
Yes.
It was his most successful case.
Uh, you should leave
now, Miss Shand.
I'll see you later, Mr. Royce.
I should have taken
up forensic medicine.
That is, if I could get the
same help you gave me.
What's the bottom line, doc?
It's a phony.
She's not sick at all.
They put something in her
blood, and it reacts the same way
a glandular
infection would react.
- So it's temporary, right?
- Right.
That's why there was a difference
in degree from the other lab and ours.
She's out there now,
Steve. We got to warn her.
- How can we get in touch?
- We can't.
Not without tipping Kirk. Uh,
doc, will you call my office, please?
Tell Duke and Chin to
meet us out at the foundation.
Danno, let's go.
Give me to Five-0.
Dr. Kirk...
Dr. Kirk?
Where could she have gone?
- What could she be doing?
- I don't know.
That stupid nurse was supposed
to have kept an eye on her.
Frankly, Norman, I'm a
little more than concerned.
Maybe I underestimated
that little old biddy.
I thought for sure
she was convinced
when we injected the
toxin during her physical,
and it showed up
in her own lab tests.
She was. Why else
would she sign up?
Then what is she
doing nosing around?
There's gotta be a reason.
[SIGHS]
I'll tell you one thing,
if we weren't staring at a million
dollars a year in book royalties,
I'd say let her go.
OMELLA: Dr. Kirk?
- Did you find her?
- No.
But she wasn't in the dining room,
but she was in Mr. Royce's room.
- Hold it, hold it.
- What is it?
Elizabeth Hubbard's
file is gone.
We've gotta find that
busybody paperback writer now.
Get on it.
[PHONE RINGS]
- Lewski.
- Nurse Owens here.
Dr. Kirk wants you
immediately at the East Gate.
- Emergency.
- Yes, ma'am.
[AMBULANCE SIREN WAILING]
There she is.
[YELLS]
- Thank you.
- Will you please come with us?
Oh, no, I can't come with you.
Let me go. Take
your hands off me. Oh.
I have things to
do with my work.
Hold it.
- Is she sedated?
- Yes.
Get her in the Suspension
Room before she comes to.
Let's go.
- Hold it, where are you going?
- McGarrett, Five-0.
Put her in 9-C, please.
Yes, sir.
All right. Hold it, freeze.
You're under arrest.
Get over there.
Miss Shand?
- Miss Shand, are you all right?
- Oh.
GOVERNOR: Oh, Steve.
- Governor. Ah.
- Miss Shand.
- Mr. McGarrett.
You're looking
well this morning.
Nothing like a sound
sleep to refresh one.
Governor, case file
on the Kirk Foundation.
Well, Millicent, uh, just gave
me her version of the adventure.
Yes.
And I must say you did a
superb job, Mr. McGarrett.
- Thank you.
- For a cop.
Henri would have
been very proud of you.
I'm afraid, however,
he didn't measure up
to his usual brilliance.
That nonexistent heart condition
of mine didn't work out too well.
Oh, don't run Henri down
too much, Miss Shand.
Don't forget that it was James
Royce's reference to your book,
The Case of the Errant Memory,
that proved he was a fraud.
Yes, that's right.
When he quoted from that
book I wrote two years ago,
when he was supposed to
be dead and in suspension,
that did him in.
I'll make that point clear in
The Case of the Frozen Assets.
Do you like that title, Sonny?
- Uh, Millicent...
- It's about you, of course.
I'm sure you both will love
being the heroes of a bestseller.
Governor, will you
excuse me, sir?
Miss Shand, I enjoyed
working with you.
Oh, we'll do it again.
We must.
Sir.
Millicent, I've been meaning to talk
to you about this pet name, Sonny.
You see, as governor
of the state of Hawaii,
the name Sonny, no
matter how affectionate,
somehow is not in keeping
with the dignity of the office.
MILLICENT: Don't
be childish, Sonny.
air valves, please.
You went there pretending
to be interested in cryogenics
when all the time
you were snooping.
I know what happened to
Elizabeth. She was murdered.
Miss Shand, do you
know what you're doing?
I'm preparing a trap.
To satisfy Elizabeth Hubbard's
attorneys, they would like an autopsy.
An autopsy is out of the
question, Mr. McGarrett.
McGARRETT: The belief
is that you have a tumor.
And that the
prognosis is terminal.
Thank you.
Dr. Kenneth Kirk, our director.
Miss Millicent Shand.
It's a pleasure to welcome you
to the foundation, Miss Shand.
Lovely.
Thank you, Norman.
- Lovely.
- May I show you around?
This is the sanitarium adjunct
of the foundation, Miss Shand.
Complete with hospital and
medical facilities, of course.
But actually, the word
sanitarium is a misnomer.
Our guests or signatories, if you
will, live a life of retirement, uh,
more in, uh, country club
fashion, you might say.
MILLICENT: Hmm. They don't
seem to be just waiting for death.
KIRK: Oh, by no means,
any more than you would.
Well, I understand you have
many famous people here.
Oh, 23 of world
renown, to be exact.
Oh, goodness.
You know, when we heard
that, uh, you were looking
for a place yourself, the
prospect was very exciting for us.
I must confess that
I'm a great fan of yours.
- Oh.
- And your creation,
the world famous detective,
Henri Reynaud, the Sûreté.
You might say that, uh, in
your case, crime does pay.
Quite well, Dr. Kirk.
- Ha, ha.
- Quite well, indeed.
As you probably
know, Miss Shand,
uh, cryogenics is the
study of low temperatures.
And our branch deals
with the, uh, suspension and
immobilization of the human body
in temperatures as
close to zero as possible.
This way, I'll show you.
At these temperatures, the
ravages of nature stopped.
The body preserved.
Until such time...
Uh, oh, years, centuries,
even millenniums from now.
When a cure is discovered,
bodies normalized
and brought back to life.
Fascinating, doctor.
It's almost
immortality, isn't it?
Exactly, Miss Shand.
That is our ultimate goal.
Miss Shand...
You seem to be in
such perfect health.
If I may ask, what is
your medical problem?
Hmm. My heart, doctor.
I see.
I've been told my
condition isn't critical now,
but I shall make my
decision about signing in
within the next 24 hours.
Hmm.
But listen to me, Sonny.
Freezing people, bringing
them back to life, what rubbish.
Millicent, you went there pretending
to be interested in cryogenics
when all the time
you were snooping
to find out about your
friend, Elizabeth Hubbard.
I went there undercover, Sonny.
And I know what
happened to Elizabeth.
She was murdered.
Well, that's a very serious
charge, Miss Shand.
Some sincere people
believe in this process.
When I saw her in that crypt
or tube or whatever you call it,
I knew she was murdered.
You just knew?
I got that letter two
weeks after she wrote it
when I returned
home from abroad.
She died the day she wrote it.
But she was terminally ill,
she says so herself in this letter.
That's not germane to the issue.
She had months
to live, even years.
She and I had the same
doctor in San Francisco,
and he was as surprised
and shocked as I was.
Read the letter
again, Mr. McGarrett.
There are all sorts
of clues in there.
Doesn't Elizabeth say she was
going to leave the foundation?
No, no, "thinking of leaving"
is the phrase she used.
She said a friend was leaving.
Ahem. But all this is
circumstantial, Millicent.
What would be the
motive for her murder?
Henri Reynaud says there are
only three motives for murder:
passion, fear and avarice.
Elizabeth didn't inspire
passion at her age
nor, gentle soul
that she was, fear.
That leaves only avarice.
She bequeathed $2 million to
the foundation when she signed in.
They've got it now.
Governor, I, uh...
I think we should
look into this.
That sounds very lah-di-dah.
Elizabeth was as close
to me as a sister, Sonny.
I expect a thorough
investigation.
Don't you worry about a thing.
It was a pleasure meeting
you, Mr. McGarrett.
If you need any help,
don't hesitate to call on me.
Oh, thank you.
I have written 34
mystery novels,
and Henri Reynaud's
M.O. is at your disposal.
She doesn't suffer from
insecurity, does she?
[CHUCKLES]
Sonny?
Well, uh, it's a nickname.
I was a very
good-natured, happy kid.
This, uh, Kirk Foundation is a licensed,
reputable, scientific organization,
and the investigation
must be discreet.
And unless you wanna find me
and you and this whole situation
in her next book, you'd,
uh, better get on it right now.
What...? What...?
- What are you grinning at?
- Nothing, sir.
Thank you.
KIRK: Seems rather odd that
Elizabeth Hubbard's attorney wrote
telling you that she
wanted to leave.
She never mentioned it to us.
When was that, Mr. McGarrett?
Her letter was
dated January 8th.
Hmm. Shame, same day she died.
Is that significant?
Oh, fear, a mental
imbalance preceding her death
are symptomatic
with her illness.
Strange. Uh...
She said in her letter she
never felt better that day.
The same day she so
desperately wanted to leave.
Poor Elizabeth, always
hallucinating, fantasizing.
I assume that her will
has been filed for probate.
Naturally, as legatees.
Our clients are our
only source of funds.
No offense meant, doctor,
that's a routine question.
One more thing.
To satisfy Elizabeth
Hubbard's attorneys,
they would like an autopsy.
I trust you won't object to one?
Of course I object.
An autopsy is out of the
question, Mr. McGarrett.
Oh?
We'll see what the attorney
general has to say about that.
Thank you, doctor.
Of course it's out of the
question, as far as he's concerned.
See, performing an autopsy would
involve the removal of the brain
as well as other organs.
And that would defeat
the whole purpose
of the cryogenic process.
So I can't get a court
order to exhume?
Or should I say, to
thaw out? Ha-ha-ha.
Well, you might get a
judge to give you an order.
But then Dr. Kirk will get another
judge to give another court order
enjoining you from
carrying this one out.
Then you and Dr. Kirk
would be leapfrogging
all the way to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
There's that convoluted
legal mind of yours at work.
Well, if a person
were to leave a will,
wherein she provides
that she would like her body
preserved cryogenically
after her death,
and then she leaves the
money to carry out that request,
now who has a right to come
along and cancel her out?
No one. No one.
Providing that she
died of natural causes.
I mean, if she is gonna
be brought back to life,
is she really dead now?
If not, the autopsy
would kill her for sure.
Oh, I don't know, Kwan.
This whole thing
has got me upset.
But reason with me,
what if a rich one
was about to get away
as Miss Shand
thinks her friend was?
She threatens to change
her will, and to move out.
What do you think Kirk would do?
How do you think he'd handle that?
Maybe what Miss Shand
thinks he did, you know.
Push up her death a few months.
And even if she was terminally ill
and he did indeed push up her death,
that would be murder.
Sure. Hmm.
That's fascinating.
Sounds like it could
be a perfect crime.
Well, I gotta go.
I'm due back in court.
Thank you.
And if it is murder, I
want the cold facts.
[CHUCKLES]
MILLICENT: My
goodness, that's interesting.
That's very interesting.
No chance for an autopsy.
What an intriguing
problem for Henri Reynaud.
How would he
overcome that obstacle?
I'd be interested
to know that myself.
He wouldn't even try.
He'd get around it somehow.
Oh, he would now?
How?
What are you doing
about it, Mr. McGarrett?
What are we doing about it?
We're looking into the
foundation's finances,
their death certificates,
any unusual happenings
at or near the time of death,
and we're trying to find this
friend of Elizabeth Hubbard's
who was supposed to be leaving.
Now, any other suggestions?
Yes, plod along, knock
on doors, police routine.
Yes, police routine, Miss Shand.
Mr. McGarrett, we are
dealing with a diabolical rascal.
A very clever murderer who
has devised a protective screen
unparalleled in
criminal history.
No, in this case, ordinary
methods won't work.
Miss Shand, I advise you to
be careful and leave this to us.
Henri would figure out an
unusual course of investigation.
A different way
to uncover proof.
He would create a diversion.
Miss Shand. Miss Shand.
Please, leave this
to the professionals.
Forgive me, young man.
You are a policeman, a special
kind of policeman, that's true.
But you haven't the latitude
an independent investigator has.
[SPEAKS IN HAWAIIAN]
[SIGHS]
I can't tell you how happy
we all are, Miss Shand.
My bequest will include all present
and future book royalties, doctor.
And to be held
in trust, of course.
And I hope many, many
more books to come.
Mm-hm.
Uh, Norman.
Miss Shand is ready for
a complete physical now.
I know that you'll
be very happy.
I'm sure I will.
The Kirk Foundation was
incorporated nine years ago
as a nonprofit organization.
Managing director, Kenneth
Kirk, assistant, Norman Pryce,
five nurses in attendance,
two physicians, research staff,
two doctorates in biochemistry,
two cryogenic engineers.
Well, the whole staff can't
be in on the conspiracy.
Where'd you get this
information, Danno?
Corporation commissioner.
DUKE: They maintain two
bank accounts in town, Steve.
Low five figures, for
payroll and current bills.
- How many on the payroll?
- Twenty eight.
The largest salary
is $1200 a week.
Ah. Dr. Kirk's?
No, Steve. Philip Gerard.
- Who's he?
- Chef.
They run a gourmet kitchen.
Well, that's not out of line.
What about the
monies left in trust?
More than, uh, $17 million
under their conservatorship.
Okay, uh, let's zero in on that.
Check for expense accounts,
loans, management fees and so forth.
Someone might be skimming.
They have more
than, uh, 40 signatories
outstanding at the foundation.
All wealthy, I suppose.
Oh, yes.
Chin?
And all of them wanting to take it
with them wherever they're going.
Anything unusual
about their deaths?
I checked with the coroner's.
Besides Elizabeth Hubbard,
uh, there were two others
who met unusual deaths.
When was that?
Uh, first, about a
year and a half ago.
He was diagnosed as terminal cancer,
but died suddenly of a heart attack.
Second was, uh, also
diagnosed terminal,
but was an accident
victim a couple weeks ago.
His name was Malcolm Craigy.
What date?
January 8th.
It's the same as
Elizabeth Hubbard's.
CHIN HO: There's
another coincidence, Steve.
I don't know if it
means anything.
The same nurse
attended both those men
and the Hubbard woman.
[PHONE RINGS]
Yes? Who's this?
Steve, for you. Miss Shand.
Yes, Miss Shand?
You did what?
Signed in.
At the Kirk Foundation?
Yes, Mr. McGarrett.
Miss Shand, do you
know what you're doing?
Certainly, I know.
I'm preparing a trap.
How, pray tell?
I've given them a false
story of a heart ailment,
and I've taken their
physical examination.
Now they will confirm the
non-existent heart trouble,
which will flush them out as
the fakes and murderers they are.
We were planning to put an
experienced police operative in there,
undercover.
Now do you realize the
danger that you're in?
It's already done,
Mr. McGarrett.
I'm waiting now for results.
We'll have them right
where we want them,
right in the palms of our hands.
I hope you don't end
up in cold storage.
Someone's coming, Mr. McGarrett.
I'll talk to you later.
Lani, have my car
brought around, please.
- Good morning, Miss Shand.
- Morning, Dr. Kirk.
- I hope I'm not disturbing you.
- Not at all.
- Won't you sit down?
- Thank you.
Very nice to see you.
Would you like some tea?
No, no, thank you.
I just brought over the, uh,
results of your heart examination.
I thought I'd bring
them over personally.
Oh, that's very kind of you,
doctor. I hope it isn't too bad.
- Not bad at all.
- What?
There's absolutely nothing
wrong with your heart.
There isn't?
No, the, uh, doctor, whatever he
saw or thought he saw in your EKG,
we couldn't find it at all.
Your laboratory?
Ha, ha. I know it's a
shock, but a pleasant one.
Perhaps, uh, your other tests
just showed an aberration.
It happens often with EKG.
And your diagnosis is,
nothing wrong with my heart.
You are in top
shape, Miss Shand.
Congratulations.
Well, that is good news.
He came to tell me there is
nothing wrong with my heart.
- I was afraid of that.
- You expected it?
Well, what would you think
if you were in Kirk's place
and someone came to
you with a phony illness?
But he doesn't
think it was a phony.
He said himself, heart trouble
is frequently misdiagnosed,
an aberration in the EKG.
No, something else
must have alerted him.
I hope you weren't
heavy-handed, Mr. McGarrett.
Please.
Now he may be on the alert.
We must proceed
with extreme caution.
Henri, of course,
would have anticipated.
[PHONE RINGS]
Excuse me.
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Pryce?
Well, he was here. He
left about ten minutes ago.
Which gland?
What does that mean?
Oh, yes, I see.
Yes, of course.
Thank you, Mr. Pryce.
That was Dr. Kirk's assistant.
It seems Dr. Kirk was sent
only the results of my heart test.
Now their laboratory
reports a serious condition
with my pineal gland.
Of course.
He's not gonna let a
plum like you get away.
A plum.
I don't believe it.
Why, I never felt
better in my life.
They are just more devious
than I thought, aren't they?
There's one sure
way to find out.
May I use your phone?
Do.
Dr. Char, please.
It's McGarrett.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
- Yes?
- Mrs. Sutherland?
Yes.
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
May I speak to you
about your father?
Malcolm Craigy.
Let's step outside. The baby's
sleeping in the front room.
What was it you wanted to know?
Well, actually, I...
I'd like to talk to you
about his death, if I may.
Why?
This is an official
police investigation.
Could you tell me, was he living at
the Kirk Foundation when he died?
Yes.
But he was struck
by a hit-and-run driver
on his way over here to visit.
He stepped off a curb
and a car smashed into him.
He died an hour
later at the foundation.
Was he planning
on leaving there?
He was considering it.
I wanted him to.
I just about had him convinced
to leave and then it happened.
If he'd left there a day
earlier, he'd be alive today.
And no matter what they say,
I don't believe he's going
to be alive in the future.
This investigation,
what's it about?
The foundation?
Well, if you bear with me
and give us a little more time
I might have some answers
for you, Mrs. Sutherland.
Maybe a lot more.
Thank you.
McGARRETT: How do you
find a cure for smashed brains?
Now or a thousand
years from now?
And why go through the whole
process of freezing without any hope?
- Well, for his money, of course.
- Yeah.
It's beginning to make sense.
I think I can guess at what
happened earlier this month.
What do you figure, Steve?
I figure that, uh, Elizabeth Hubbard
and Malcolm Craigy were good friends.
They probably talked
about leaving the foundation.
In fact, Craigy had made
up his mind to leave.
He was going to live
with his daughter Lucy.
- As Elizabeth wrote me.
- Right.
But before Craigy
could withdraw formally,
before he could, uh, announce
his intentions in writing,
they, uh, arranged
for his accident.
- That was on the eighth.
- Right.
And then when Elizabeth
discovered what they had done to him,
she probably panicked.
Tried to run away,
figuring she was next.
And that took care of her.
Well, that's my guess, anyway.
Now all we need is proof.
[PHONE RINGING]
McGarrett.
Yes, doctor?
What?
No possible error?
Yes, doctor, so am I.
Thank you.
Well, Mr. McGarrett?
Miss Shand...
I regret to say,
an independent medical laboratory
confirms the foundation's diagnosis.
The belief is that you have
a tumor in the pineal gland
and that the
prognosis is terminal.
So I have decided to
go back to the mainland
for a complete physical checkup,
possibly to the Lahey Clinic in Boston.
Well, I think that's
a wise decision.
Another opinion can't hurt.
If I decide then
not to return here,
a letter from my attorney will abrogate
my contract with the foundation.
- Correct?
- Well, of course.
When did you plan on leaving?
Tomorrow, at the latest.
Oh, that's a pity.
I was hoping that you could take a
more in-depth look into cryogenics,
which is far more advanced here
than anywhere else in the world.
Oh... But you did
show me around.
And let me sample
your magnificent cuisine.
Well, superficially.
Uh, Miss Shand...
I'm gonna make an
exception with you.
- Oh?
- Our first experiment in resuscitation.
[GASPS]
James Royce died of
Hodgkin's disease six years ago.
He is in suspension
in our chambers now.
A cure has not been found for
the disease, but a palliative has.
And you're going to
bring him back to life.
He'll be our first.
- When?
- Tomorrow.
Of course that will mean that
you'd have to postpone your trip
to the mainland.
But you can stay here with us.
I'm sure that you
would enjoy our facilities.
Dr. Kirk...
I accept.
McGARRETT: She didn't
return to her hotel last night
and she didn't leave
word where she was going.
The governor hasn't
heard from her either.
There are no plane
reservations in her name
for Boston or anywhere else.
Then I have to assume
she's still on the island.
What do you think, Steve?
Shall we try the Kirk Foundation?
No, I don't think so, Danno.
Any inquiry would alert
them if she is still there.
[PHONE RINGING]
Williams, Five-0.
Yes. Uh, hold on a minute.
Steve, she's there.
Miss Shand?
Yes, I see you've taken things
into your own hands
again, haven't you?
Uh...
I really believe that you're
in danger, grave danger.
I'm not supposed to
say anything about this.
So, you, please,
don't let it out.
But this afternoon,
someone who has been
in suspension for six years
is going to be
brought back to life.
You mean they're actually
gonna thaw someone out?
And they're permitting
you to watch?
Mm-hm.
Ha, ha. Oh, God.
I see.
Well, my suggestion to you, and I
can't emphasize this too strongly,
is to be careful, very careful.
I don't want any more
tragedies out there.
Yes, of course.
Thank you.
Kirk invited her to watch their
first experiment in resuscitation.
Danno, we've got to get
you out there, undercover,
somehow to see
what they're doing.
How do we do that?
I've got one idea.
Lani, get me the president of,
uh, Oahu Power Company, please.
It's about time.
We've got an unexpected power
outage in our Science Building.
Well, lead us to it.
We've got a demonstration
starting less than 90 minutes.
We're operating on our backup
system. If that should go...
We'll take care of it.
Hey.
How long do you
think it will take?
Oh, less than an
hour and a half.
We have to check all the lines.
If you need anything, I'll be
downstairs at the chamber.
Thank you.
- Temperature?
- Temperature, plus 45, rising.
Good.
Duke.
[WHISPERS] What are they doing?
This is it, chum.
Showtime.
Open the air valves, please.
Yes, sir.
This process of
normalizing temperature
from minus 272 degrees
has been going on for
more than 24 hours now.
- Wha...? MAN: Fifty-two...
Fifty-five...
Sixty, 61...
We're on city power now, right?
- Yes, doctor.
MAN: Sixty-five...
Sixty-nine, 70, 71...
Seventy-two...
Eighty...
Eighty-five...
Atmosphere, normal, doctor.
Ninety-one...
Ninety-two, 93...
Ninety-four, 95...
Ninety-six, 97...
Ninety-eight...
- Ninety-nine...
- Hold the temperature.
Electrodes ready?
They're ready.
Number one.
Number two.
[MACHINE BEEPS]
Come on, man.
Come on.
This is the most
critical moment.
The heart has to
start pumping again.
Extraordinary.
[BEEPING]
Positive, doctor.
Heartbeat started.
Would you get him out, please?
Mr. Royce.
Mr. James Royce.
Where's my cigarette?
I thought you
were trying to quit.
Oh.
[APPLAUSE]
He said what?
"Where's my cigarette?"
First words out of his mouth.
He must have been smoking his
last cigarette before he passed out.
- What have you two been smoking?
- Ha, ha.
Steve, if you'd been there,
you'd gotten a chill yourself.
A dead man, dead six
years, coming back to life?
You're out of your gourds.
Don't believe us? Ask the
older people who watched.
It was a trick, fellas.
A big magic show, don't
you understand that?
You didn't believe it, did you?
DANNY: Steve, I'll tell you.
Now I watched the whole procedure
with, uh, pardon the expression,
icy detachment.
And I tell you, it was uncanny.
[PHONE RINGS]
McGarrett.
Yes, Dr. Char?
When was that?
Are you sure?
Absolutely certain?
And it's the university
lab this time?
Very well, thank you.
We're on our way.
Let's go, they've got something.
Hello.
How are we doing today?
Very well. Thank you.
This will hurt for
only a second.
I'm sorry, doctor.
Miss Shand won't let
me give her the injection.
Hmm.
I'll tell you what, nurse, we'll
add it to her supper tray, all right?
- Yes, doctor.
- Thank you.
That's funny.
When I got his report on the phone,
I compared it with the first report
from the independent
lab, The Rex Lab.
- It's different?
- Not different.
The diagnosis was the
same, but the degree wasn't.
Right, the count is lower.
You mean, as if the
patient was getting better?
Mm-mm. This is a glandular
problem that doesn't get better.
Well, maybe it just looks
like a glandular problem.
You have some technical
knowledge in this field?
Oh, no, no, no, just
following a hunch, doc.
You be surprised how
much of our work is intuition.
Now you know a medical
problem when you see one.
We know an illegal scam.
Can you verify whether Miss
Shand's problem is real or a phony?
It may take a little time.
You've got it. We'll wait.
Miss Shand?
Miss Shand?
Where are you?
[DOOR OPENS]
What is it, nurse?
Miss Shand is not in
her apartment, doctor.
All right, carry on.
Miss Shand is not in her...
Miss Shand is not
in her apartment.
Yeah, alert the guards.
And have them monitor the gate.
Right.
Steve, how would they get
something introduced into her blood
without her knowing it?
I assume that, when she
took their physical exam
along with taking
blood samples from her,
they injected
something into her.
That is what happened, doc.
How long will it take
to get some answers?
I suggested some short cuts.
He knows what to look for.
Have some more coffee.
Yeah.
I know what a traumatic
experience it must be.
Mr. Royce, going to sleep and
waking up to find six years have passed.
- That's right.
- But it's absolutely fascinating to me.
I'm a writer, a mystery writer.
And what you have gone through
is the greatest mystery of all.
I can't talk about it.
I've been told there isn't
supposed to be any publicity on this.
A mystery of life and death.
Now you can answer the question
the world's greatest philosophers
have speculated about.
What was it like?
Being dead, Mr. Royce?
Now, look, Miss or Mrs...
Shand, Millicent Shand.
Ah... The mystery writer.
Henri Reynaud.
I've read every one of your...
I'll autograph them
all for you, Mr. Royce.
Was it cold?
Well, yes, in a way.
Did you feel anything?
No?
No, just... What? Just what?
The coldness.
Of course, of space.
Like, uh, outer space.
Limbo?
Yeah.
Uh, somewhere between
heaven and earth.
And waiting, and not belonging.
Alone.
Nowhere any life waiting.
Everything frozen.
Time frozen, thoughts
frozen, all life frozen.
Yes.
Eternity stopped.
Yes.
How did you know?
It was just like that.
Just exactly like
that, Miss Shand.
I should know, Mr. Royce.
Henri Reynaud faced just such
a situation with an amnesiac.
Ah... Right.
I remember.
You got the Edgar Award for
the best detective story of the year.
Yes.
It was his most successful case.
Uh, you should leave
now, Miss Shand.
I'll see you later, Mr. Royce.
I should have taken
up forensic medicine.
That is, if I could get the
same help you gave me.
What's the bottom line, doc?
It's a phony.
She's not sick at all.
They put something in her
blood, and it reacts the same way
a glandular
infection would react.
- So it's temporary, right?
- Right.
That's why there was a difference
in degree from the other lab and ours.
She's out there now,
Steve. We got to warn her.
- How can we get in touch?
- We can't.
Not without tipping Kirk. Uh,
doc, will you call my office, please?
Tell Duke and Chin to
meet us out at the foundation.
Danno, let's go.
Give me to Five-0.
Dr. Kirk...
Dr. Kirk?
Where could she have gone?
- What could she be doing?
- I don't know.
That stupid nurse was supposed
to have kept an eye on her.
Frankly, Norman, I'm a
little more than concerned.
Maybe I underestimated
that little old biddy.
I thought for sure
she was convinced
when we injected the
toxin during her physical,
and it showed up
in her own lab tests.
She was. Why else
would she sign up?
Then what is she
doing nosing around?
There's gotta be a reason.
[SIGHS]
I'll tell you one thing,
if we weren't staring at a million
dollars a year in book royalties,
I'd say let her go.
OMELLA: Dr. Kirk?
- Did you find her?
- No.
But she wasn't in the dining room,
but she was in Mr. Royce's room.
- Hold it, hold it.
- What is it?
Elizabeth Hubbard's
file is gone.
We've gotta find that
busybody paperback writer now.
Get on it.
[PHONE RINGS]
- Lewski.
- Nurse Owens here.
Dr. Kirk wants you
immediately at the East Gate.
- Emergency.
- Yes, ma'am.
[AMBULANCE SIREN WAILING]
There she is.
[YELLS]
- Thank you.
- Will you please come with us?
Oh, no, I can't come with you.
Let me go. Take
your hands off me. Oh.
I have things to
do with my work.
Hold it.
- Is she sedated?
- Yes.
Get her in the Suspension
Room before she comes to.
Let's go.
- Hold it, where are you going?
- McGarrett, Five-0.
Put her in 9-C, please.
Yes, sir.
All right. Hold it, freeze.
You're under arrest.
Get over there.
Miss Shand?
- Miss Shand, are you all right?
- Oh.
GOVERNOR: Oh, Steve.
- Governor. Ah.
- Miss Shand.
- Mr. McGarrett.
You're looking
well this morning.
Nothing like a sound
sleep to refresh one.
Governor, case file
on the Kirk Foundation.
Well, Millicent, uh, just gave
me her version of the adventure.
Yes.
And I must say you did a
superb job, Mr. McGarrett.
- Thank you.
- For a cop.
Henri would have
been very proud of you.
I'm afraid, however,
he didn't measure up
to his usual brilliance.
That nonexistent heart condition
of mine didn't work out too well.
Oh, don't run Henri down
too much, Miss Shand.
Don't forget that it was James
Royce's reference to your book,
The Case of the Errant Memory,
that proved he was a fraud.
Yes, that's right.
When he quoted from that
book I wrote two years ago,
when he was supposed to
be dead and in suspension,
that did him in.
I'll make that point clear in
The Case of the Frozen Assets.
Do you like that title, Sonny?
- Uh, Millicent...
- It's about you, of course.
I'm sure you both will love
being the heroes of a bestseller.
Governor, will you
excuse me, sir?
Miss Shand, I enjoyed
working with you.
Oh, we'll do it again.
We must.
Sir.
Millicent, I've been meaning to talk
to you about this pet name, Sonny.
You see, as governor
of the state of Hawaii,
the name Sonny, no
matter how affectionate,
somehow is not in keeping
with the dignity of the office.
MILLICENT: Don't
be childish, Sonny.
