Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 10, Episode 23 - A Stranger in His Grave - full transcript
A dead body is found in a sugarcane field, which turns out to be that of Frank Kealoha, owner of a large nearby ranch. When informed of her husband's death, Kealoha's widow asserts that she knew he was dead - she had buried him several months before. As the title suggests, however, there is a stranger's body in Kealoha's grave, leading McGarrett and Five-O onto the trail of a missing federal agent, and into an investigation of money laundering and murder.
McGARRETT: I regret to tell you
that we found your husband's body,
in a cane field in
the Wahiawah area.
That's impossible.
I buried my husband at
Good Shepherd Cemetery
four months ago.
She identifies a body
that isn't her husband's
and admits she
has no love for him.
Sounds like a wife who didn't care,
or a suspect in her husband's murder.
Well, how's the old
ranch deal coming?
I think I have a buyer.
Do you, um, have all the papers?
Payment in full.
Oh, my God. Hey,
Moe, come here, quick.
Look.
This is a John Doe, Steve.
And he's in pretty bad shape.
My guess is, the body
was dropped from a plane.
Hell of a way to go.
I'm not sure that was
the cause of death.
There's evidence of a
gunshot wound in the head.
I won't know the answer
until I finish the workup.
Could be a gangland killing.
How long has he been dead?
It's a little hard to fix.
I would say four months.
I wanna know who he was, doc.
DOCTOR: Best chances
are dental records.
He's had a lot of
expensive work done.
- Let's hope it was done
in Hawaii. DANNY: Steve.
Do you know how many dentists
there are in Honolulu alone?
No, but I know
who's gonna find out.
Sorry, not one of my patients.
Thank you very much.
I'm here to see Dr. Westman.
- Senator?
- You're late.
Sorry, I didn't
design the freeway.
You, uh, never did meet
my wife, did you, Bodine?
Never had the pleasure.
Carla, this is Nelson Bodine.
How do you do?
Darling, uh, step below
a few minutes, will you?
We have some business.
Nice meeting you, Mr. Bodine.
The deal is set?
Yes. How much should
I put you down for?
That deal a
quarter of a million.
[CHUCKLES]
I didn't know an ex-senator's
pension was that liberal.
Sometimes I don't like your
attempts at humor, Bodine.
But you like the way
I invest your money.
Yes.
Don't forget that's why
you don't have to face
those Washington winters again.
Be ready to move
as soon as I call you.
I always am.
I'm sorry I'm late.
I just got here myself.
- May I offer you some wine?
- Thank you.
May I, uh, call you Katie?
This place seems to
demand informality.
Of course.
However, when you
left my house last week
you said this would
be a business meeting.
My, you are anxious.
- What is there left to discuss?
- Price.
I told you we would pay
more than anyone else.
Did you ask around?
Yes, and I'd like to
know what your offer is.
- You said the will was out of probate.
- Yes.
And you have clear title.
As of this morning.
This is what the Gamma
Corporation is prepared to pay.
More than you expected?
Yes.
You're going to be very rich.
I haven't pounded so much
pavement since I was a rookie.
[CHUCKLES]
Looks like you earned
your dough today, Danno.
Chin and Duke have only a
few dentists left on their list.
It doesn't look good.
I got these letters from dentists
on the neighbor islands today.
Nothing.
[McGARRETT GRUNTS]
[PHONE RINGS]
McGarrett. Yeah, Chin,
what have you got?
I got a positive ID, Steve.
A positive ID?
Good work, Chin. Who is it?
Name is Frank Kealoha.
He lived on a ranch on Kenea
Road in the Wahiawah area.
Check H.P.D., see if there's
a missing person's report filed.
Let's go, Danno.
The widow now has
clear title to the estate.
We can proceed immediately
to purchase, as agreed.
This should be a
most profitable venture.
Bodine.
Alice.
Yes, Mr. Bodine?
Take this to the
post office right away.
Is something wrong?
Mr. Bodine, I thought I
was gonna be a secretary.
All I do is run to
the post office.
Do I not pay you a good salary?
You do.
Then do not complain.
Well, how's the old
ranch deal coming?
I think I have a buyer.
- Oh, yeah?
- Mm-hm.
Well, that means you're gonna
be rich as well as beautiful.
Yes, and I'm going
to contemplate it.
Mm-hm.
After you're through contemplating
it, then what are you gonna do?
Very basic, the
pursuit of happiness.
But you're the mystery
man. What about you?
The same as they've
been the last four months,
the pursuit of you.
I think you're gaining on me.
- It looks like thoroughbred mares.
- Yeah.
You can have all the
thoroughbreds in the world, Danno.
I'll take a good sturdy
Morgan any day.
Ooh, the rich know how to live.
Even got a private airport.
Kealoha must have been loaded.
Yeah.
Talk to you later.
Hello.
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
My associate Dan Williams.
Five-0? What can we do for you?
Well, you can tell us if
there's a Mrs. Kealoha.
- I'm Mrs. Kealoha.
- Is something wrong?
Who are you, sir?
My name's Chadway. I'm
a friend of Mrs. Kealoha's.
May I ask how long your
husband's been missing?
- Missing?
- Yes.
I regret to tell you that we
found your husband's body,
in a cane field in
the Wahiawah area.
That's impossible.
I buried my husband at
Good Shepherd Cemetery
four months ago.
[KATIE SIGHS]
Mm, thank you.
Eddie Clark, my
foreman. Mr. McGarrett.
McGARRETT: How do you do?
- My associate, Dan Williams.
- Hi.
Anything else I can do, ma'am?
No, uh, just take care
of the horses, huh?
Mr. McGarrett, I don't think she's
up to answering any more questions.
KATIE: No, I'm
all right, really.
I just can't understand
how I can bury my husband
and then you find
him in a cane field.
- You must have made a mistake.
- No mistake.
What was the name
of that dentist, Danno?
Dr. Henry Beamer.
That's Frank's dentist.
He made a positive identification
from your husband's dental x-rays.
Well, I just can't understand
that my husband was murdered.
I'm afraid you'll have
to take my word for that.
Now, will you tell us about
his death as you knew it?
It was an automobile accident.
He went off the
road and over a cliff.
The police called and told
me at 6:30 in the morning.
A tourist had seen the wreck.
Who identified the body?
I did.
There was a fire and explosion.
How could you make
a positive identification
under those circumstances?
He was the same build,
he had his watch on,
he was wearing his wedding
ring and his fancy belt buckle.
I see.
Well, that's all for
now, Mrs. Kealoha.
Thank you, but we may
have to see you again.
KATIE: Mr. McGarrett.
You might as well
know the truth now.
The last couple of years, Frank
and I did not get along at all.
In fact, we were
considering a divorce.
Thank you for your candor.
Hey.
Hey, listen, chum.
It's been a very
rough day for you.
Why don't you go upstairs
and get some rest, huh?
Okay.
She identifies a body
that isn't her husband's
and admits she
has no love for him.
What does that
sound like to you?
Sounds like a wife who didn't care,
or a suspect in her husband's murder.
Yeah.
Duke, I want a full
rundown on Frank Kealoha.
Mob connections,
bookmaking, loansharking.
- Whatever you can find.
- Right.
And tell Chin we'll need
an exhumation order
for the body buried
in Kealoha's name.
Believe it or not, Duke,
the widow swears she buried
him at Good Shepherd Cemetery.
- Neatest trick of the week, huh?
- Yeah.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
- Yes, Lani?
- Jonathan Kaye from Washington.
McGARRETT: Oh, put
him on speaker, please.
KAYE [OVER
SPEAKER]: Hello, Steve?
Jonathan, how are you?
Well, it's raining
here. I've got a cold.
Yesterday the Redskins lost to
Dallas, aside from that I'm just fine.
Come to sunny Hawaii, the only thing
we don't have is professional football.
How can I improve your day?
Treasury's got a little problem, Steve,
and they'd like you to help, if you will.
- Do I get a refund if we help them?
- Ha, ha.
KAYE: No, seriously, one
of their agents is missing.
A man named Alan Sloan.
Now, he was doing some
undercover work in Honolulu.
Then very abruptly, his reports
stopped and he can't be located.
What was he doing here?
KAYE: His specialty is investigating
large sums of laundered money.
- Mob money? KAYE: No.
Unreported cash from
so-called respectable sources.
Politicians, professionals,
entertainers, et cetera.
They make large purchases
where the seller is willing to take
cash and not ask too many questions.
Yeah, I know that
dodge, Jonathan.
What's the latest best buy?
Jewelry stores, expensive
boats, building developments,
ranches, cattle, horses.
Horses?
KAYE: Oh, yes, big profit there.
Lot of room to manipulate
the price of breeding stock.
Jonathan, send me a
description of Alan Sloan.
Why, you have something?
McGARRETT: I don't
know, maybe. Maybe.
I'll let you know.
Aloha, Jonathan.
Danno, let's check out Mrs.
Kealoha's horse breeding ranch.
You know, it's possible that it could
be a washing machine for dirty money.
Right.
And one further thing, Danno,
when that description of Alan
Sloan comes in, send it to the coroner.
Maybe, just maybe, he's the
stranger in Frank Kealoha's grave.
Hi.
- Did you sleep?
- No.
I keep seeing Frank's
body in a cane field.
Ah.
Honey,
you didn't even know what he
was up to. He never confided in you.
True.
I just hope... What?
It doesn't interfere with
the sale of the ranch.
Why should it?
I don't... I don't know.
I just don't want
that to happen.
Is the money really
that important?
Don't you understand?
I led a life in hell
with that man,
and I was ready to walk
out without anything.
Now I've got this ranch
and a chance to be free.
I understand.
Hey, I gotta run.
I'll see you later.
Yes, Alice, what is it?
One letter today, sir.
That'll be all. Thank you.
[RINGS]
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Bodine?
Uh, do you have
the papers ready?
I picked them up yesterday.
Fine. We should be
ready to move in 24 hours.
Whenever you say.
I'll call you and tell
you where to meet me.
Fine.
Balford.
This is Bodine.
Yes, Nelson?
It's time for the ante.
You know the number.
Where do I deliver, same place?
Right, and today, please.
[PHONE CLICKS]
This is Mr. Bodine, I
want to talk to Dr. Morrison.
Yes, it's an emergency.
Oh, this is Dr. Morrison.
We're ready to go
on the ranch deal.
I'm having some
second thoughts, Bodine.
It's your money. I'll
find someone else.
No, wait.
The usual place, doctor.
[LINE CLICKS]
Mr. Hans, please.
Jackpot, huh?
I'll be the judge of that.
Thank you.
I said, thank you.
[METAL CLINKS]
It looks to me like we've got
two murders on our hands, Danno.
Whoever killed Kealoha
needed a body to bury in its place.
In fact, had to have a
body to bury in its place.
An autopsy would have
revealed the bullet hole
and tied up Kealoha's estate
for a murder investigation.
Sounds logical.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
- Yes, Lani?
- It's the coroner.
He's got an ID on the body.
Ten-to-one it's Alan
Sloan. Is it a bet?
You're on.
All right, Lani, put him on.
Yeah, doc?
Sorry to disappoint you, Steve,
but the body in Kealoha's
grave is not that of Alan Sloan.
Are you sure about that?
DOCTOR: No doubt about it.
The description is that of a
healthy man in his early 30s.
The body is that of a 50-year-old
man who's had a heart bypass.
Any idea who it is?
DOCTOR: I was able to lift a couple
of prints, and the FBI made a match.
The name is Harry Crayton.
The FBI telexed me a photo.
May I see the photo?
DOCTOR: It's on
the way to your office.
Okay, doc, thank you.
Here we go.
Well, we're back to square one.
And Sloan's still missing.
What if this Crayton's a local?
I don't know, but
the FBI had his prints.
Steve, that, uh, 10-to-1 bet we
had, what was it we were betting?
Oh, a buck?
You could, uh, lay
a 10 spot on me.
Oh, boy.
Okay, Danno.
[KNOCKING]
- Steve? McGARRETT:
What have you got?
Frank Kealoha was clean except
for a drunk driving arrest years ago.
Played around a
bit, but a hard worker.
What about Mrs. Kealoha?
There are no
wants on her, Steve.
But a friend of mine in the
real estate business says
she's shopping the ranch.
Shopping the ranch?
Any takers?
All I know is that she's talking
to a man named Nelson Bodine.
He's an investment counselor for
a firm named Gamma Corporation.
I know of Bodine.
He's been up twice for
extortion and tax fraud.
Walked out on a technicality.
- From Dr. Choi, Steve.
- Well, thank you, Lani.
Well...
Crayton was a high roller.
Wanna see him?
No friend of mine.
- Duke?
- No.
I wonder if Mrs.
Kealoha knows him.
She identified Crayton's
body as that of her husband.
Let's see what she
says about the picture.
I've never seen him before.
Well, that's the man who was
buried in your husband's grave.
It's like a horror movie.
I can't believe
somebody would kill Frank
and then switch his
body for somebody else's.
Can you tell us where your
husband was going the day he left?
We had a fight, uh...
He said he had a
business meeting.
- With whom?
- He didn't say.
Did he say where the
meeting was taking place?
KATIE: No, he didn't say.
Most of his business meetings
were at the Sunset Hotel in Honolulu.
If you knew where he was, why didn't
you call when he didn't come home?
KATIE: I did that once.
It turned out not to
be a business meeting.
All right, I think
that's enough of this.
Do you have to
keep questioning her?
How do you get answers
if you don't ask questions?
Oh, by the way, how long
have you known Mrs. Kealoha?
I don't think that's
any of your concern.
About four months.
Darling, we don't owe
Mr. McGarrett a day-by-day report.
Did I ask for a
day-by-day report?
Oh, one more thing,
would you mind telling me
how you met Nelson Bodine?
He called me, shortly
after my husband's death.
McGarrett, all this is
bordering on harassment.
Maybe Mrs. Kealoha
should consult a lawyer.
Well, I don't think
anyone needs one yet,
but before this is over, someone
is surely gonna need one.
Thank you, Mrs. Kealoha.
Come on.
What do you think
of Mr. Chadway?
He's going to be an instant
millionaire when he marries her,
and I think very
hard about that.
Isn't it funny we share
the same concern?
I want a rundown on him, Danno.
And while you're at it, have
Duke check out that ranch foreman.
We might as well cover them all.
You can't tell the players
without a score card.
DISPATCHER [OVER RADIO]:
Central calling McGarrett.
Yeah, McGarrett. Go ahead.
DISPATCHER:
Jonathan Kaye calling.
Oh, patch it through, please.
KAYE [OVER RADIO]: Steve?
- Jonathan, how's your cold?
Worse.
Listen, Steve, have you got
anything at all for us on Alan Sloan?
No, afraid not, but
we're working on it.
Well, Treasury's
really getting antsy.
They think he's in trouble.
So do I.
Tell me something, did Sloan
ever mention a Harry Crayton
in any of his reports?
Yeah, that was in
one of his early ones.
I sent you copies
of all of them.
They haven't arrived yet.
When did Treasury
get Sloan's last report?
Oh, jeez, that was
some time ago.
He was staying at a...
At a resort hotel on the
North Shore called the, um...
KAYE: Sunset Hotel.
- The Sunset Hotel? KAYE: Yeah.
That's exactly where I'm headed.
You said Harry Crayton
stayed here often?
Yes, but I haven't
seen him for some time.
Do you know what
business he was in?
No, he never mentioned it.
What did he do
when he stayed here?
Played golf mostly.
With anyone in particular?
Mr. McGarrett, it's a policy of this
hotel to respect the privacy of its guests.
Mr. Pike,
this is an official
police investigation.
The man is dead. He
might have been murdered.
He played with our other guests.
Alan Sloan?
Oh, yes, he was a guest.
I remember seeing them together.
Anyone else?
Over there.
That foursome on
the putting green.
Dr. Morrison, the
one in the red cap.
Mr. Crayton met with him.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
- Hello?
- Can you leave now?
Yes. Your office?
No. Listen carefully,
I'll give you directions.
Now, look, McGarrett,
I haven't much time.
My foursome is waiting.
What exactly do you want?
You knew Harry
Crayton, didn't you?
Knew, past tense.
That's right, he's dead.
Oh, I didn't know.
We used to play golf.
Just play golf? Have
any business deals?
This is beginning to
sound like an inquisition.
You don't have to answer.
I think it's only fair to tell you I'm
conducting a murder investigation.
Murder? Whose murder?
Harry Crayton's murder.
And a rancher
named Frank Kealoha.
Frank Kealoha?
And Crayton?
- They were murdered?
- Both of them.
My God.
As I said, you have a
right to remain silent.
Surely you don't think I had
anything to do with a murder?
That's what I'm
here to find out.
Tell me about your
dealings with Crayton.
He was in investments
with a man named Bodine.
They handled some deals for me.
What kind of deals?
Purchases, property, land.
You know, these days it's a
problem what to do with money.
Yeah, you mean
cash, don't you, doc?
I assumed that any deals Bodine
brought to me were legitimate.
And I had nothing to
do with anyone's death.
Oh, my God, I can't
comprehend this thing.
When is the last time
you saw Crayton?
A couple of months ago
he dropped out of the picture.
But I never knew
what happened to him.
I see. But you still have
dealings with Bodine?
Oh, come on, doctor, tell me.
You're in one right
now, aren't you?
Aren't you trying to
purchase the Kealoha ranch?
I never met Kealoha.
I knew him only by name.
But you're putting up part of
the money to purchase the ranch.
I never said that, McGarrett.
You didn't have to.
Enjoy your game, doctor.
Do you, um, have all the papers?
Why couldn't we
meet at your office?
Forgive my idiosyncrasies.
What's that?
Payment in full.
Cash?
Good legal tender.
It came before checks,
bankdrafts and credit cards.
I don't know.
You're getting 25 percent
more than the ranch is worth.
That's all you have to know.
Cheer up. You're a
very wealthy woman.
Mr. Bodine?
Mr. McGarrett is here.
Coco, finish me later.
So you're the
Hawaii Five-0 fellow?
That's right.
I'm honored.
I don't know what for.
I just talked to Dr. Morrison
about your dealings
- with him and Harry Crayton.
- Oh?
I'm interested to find out
how and why Harry Crayton's body
ended up in Frank Kealoha's grave.
- What?
- Yeah.
We just dug him up.
Well, I don't know what
happened to Crayton,
but Frank Kealoha was killed in a
car crash around four months ago.
No, he wasn't, he was murdered.
He was shot.
His body dumped in a cane
field, probably from an airplane.
I didn't know that, I swear it.
Did you meet with Frank
Kealoha about four months ago
at the Sunset Hotel?
No. No, I've never been there.
But Crayton did as
your representative,
to make him an offer on
the Kealoha ranch, didn't he?
I don't know.
They were supposed to
meet for a business deal,
but, uh, I never
saw Crayton again.
You never saw him again?
Didn't that seem strange to you?
No. Look, McGarrett, some
deals come, some deals go.
Bodine, you're in so deep
with your dirty money schemes.
How would like to add murder
one to the growing list, huh?
Believe me, I didn't know what
happened to Crayton until right now.
Oh, you didn't, huh?
Could it be that you didn't
want to cut the pie up a little more
and decided to go it alone?
I don't work alone.
You don't?
Who's your partner?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Do you know you're
digging your own grave?
I'm telling it like
it is, McGarrett.
A few weeks after
Crayton disappeared
I got a letter from someone
offering to make a sales deal
with the Kealoha widow.
I had no reason not
to go along, so I did.
It turned out he was right.
You're telling me that you're doing
business with a man you never met?
Well, he had some
information about me
and it seemed in my
best interest to go along.
The whole thing was
done by phone and mail.
Look, McGarrett, if
you don't believe me,
pick up my secretary.
She's a dumb broad,
but she runs the errands to
the post office, she'll tell you.
What about the deal on the
ranch? Has that been closed yet?
You know about that?
Yeah, I know about it.
I closed it today.
Paid a bundle to Katie Kealoha.
You understand I only
act as a middle man.
I don't know where my
clients get their cash.
It's not my business
to ask questions.
I'm clean.
That, my friend, is
a matter of opinion.
I have a feeling that the
IRS and the district attorney
would like to ask
you some questions.
Listen, McGarrett, I
never killed anyone.
I don't need the money that bad.
There's always another deal.
You hear me, McGarrett?
DUKE: Steve?
- Yes, Duke?
I checked out Chadway.
He's clean locally, but I got a
copy of his employment record
from his company in
Los Angeles, interesting.
Went to work about two weeks before
Kealoha and Crayton were murdered.
It's Chadway all right.
What about his
previous employment?
I couldn't turn up anything.
Then maybe Mr. Chadway
will tell us why, huh?
- Lani.
- Yes, sir?
See if you can locate
Richard Chadway.
And that's the way it
happened, Mr. McGarrett.
Katie and I just seemed
to hit it off, you know?
- The right chemistry.
- Yeah.
A pretty, rich young woman
could attract a lot of attention.
You're implying I'm
after Katie's money.
Not at all. Just
making an observation.
Lunch was your idea.
I agreed to cooperate. I
didn't come here to be insulted.
No insult intended, Mr. Chadway.
Now, where did you work
before that L.A. jobber hired you?
[SIGHS]
Okay.
I worked for Ellington Appliance
Jobbers in Newark, two years. Uh...
Before that, I sold
air conditioners
for Tarton's Department
Store in Manhattan.
McGARRETT: T-A-R-T-O-N-S?
CHADWAY: That's right.
You know we're gonna
check this, don't you?
[CHUCKLES]
I can't believe this.
Am I some sort of a suspect?
This is a police investigation.
Now, two people have been
murdered that we know about.
I just like to touch
all the bases.
Well, if you won't arrest me
for trying to bribe an officer,
I'd just like to pay this
and get the hell out of here.
Oh, no, no, it's a business
luncheon. The state will pay for that.
Terrific.
Goodbye, McGarrett.
Coffee?
Oh, yes, please.
McGARRETT: Don't
touch that glass, please.
I'd just like to take that.
And this.
I'd like to pay you for them.
- You dig glasses?
- Yeah.
Knives and forks too.
Weird. That's a new one on me.
I've heard of high-heeled
shoes and satin, but glasses?
- Well, to each his own.
- Wow.
Danno?
Chadway's fingerprints
are all over these things.
Now, have the lab lift them and send
it by wire to the FBI in Washington.
- See if we can get a make on this.
- Right.
Duke? Ahem.
Check these firms Chadway
said he worked for in the past.
Lani, turn this check in.
The lunch was, uh,
18 and a quarter.
Extras were 6.50.
- Extras? McGARRETT: Yeah.
Knife, fork, glass and a napkin.
- Eddie?
- Yeah.
- Where's she at?
- In the house.
Okay, stash this, get
the jeep, hang tight.
Dick, I'm so glad you're here.
Are you all right?
I'm confused, and I
think I'm in trouble.
What is it?
Look in there.
Mm-hm.
Ah. Mm-mm.
Bodine came through, eh?
You know him?
I've never met him,
but I know who he is
and how he operates.
Well, I don't understand.
I've never seen so
much cash before.
Is it safe for me to accept it?
I think it would be
best if I handled it.
McGARRETT:
Something's missing, Danno.
Something important.
I've got part of a
picture but not all of it.
That treasury agent, Sloan, he had
to be watching Crayton and Bodine,
and he must have been close to
what he needed on both of them.
That would make him a
prime target for murder.
Yeah, but I don't see Crayton
and Bodine as murderers.
Besides, we're missing a body.
Just suppose that
there's a third party.
He finds out about
Crayton's business dealings
and he tries to cut himself
in on the Kealoha deal.
Suppose that they get in a fight,
and during the fight, Crayton is killed.
Yeah. And then?
And then, Kealoha
walks in unexpectedly
and this mysterious
third party...
He has to shoot him.
And then switches the body
because of the bullet
hole in Kealoha's head.
Yeah, and, uh, Crayton's body is
pushed over a cliff in a flaming car,
and Kealoha's body is
dropped into a cane field.
It would have to be somebody who
knew about the offer on the ranch.
That brings us pretty
close to Katie Kealoha.
Yeah, or someone close to her.
- Chadway.
- Yeah, Chadway.
Well, where does
Sloan fit in all this?
I don't know, Danno,
but I've got a good idea.
[SNAPS FINGERS]
Well, looks like it's all here.
Eddie, make sure
we're not being watched.
Then go out and get the plane
ready. We've got to move fast.
What about her?
CHADWAY: She stays with us.
We can't do that, man.
Sooner or later you'd...
Hey, go on.
You killed Frank.
You and Eddie?
I did, Kate, but it was
for a worthy cause.
You pretended to love me.
Outside of the money, that
was the easiest part of the job.
You knew Bodine was
going to pay me in cash.
Knew it?
I arranged it. Ha, ha.
You were the one who sent him
out here the first time to talk to me.
Yes, I did.
But he doesn't know
who I am, he never will.
You're going to
kill me, aren't you?
Just like you killed Frank.
I'm sorry, Kate.
I really am.
I thought maybe you and I
could go away some place.
You'd never have to
know about any of this.
But McGarrett's getting close,
and, uh, I have to travel alone.
- Steve. McGARRETT: Yes, Duke?
I checked those firms
Chadway says he worked for.
- Yeah?
- They never heard of him.
- I thought so. DUKE:
One thing more.
Eddie Clark, the ranch foreman who
went to work for them two months ago,
he's from the mainland, I
don't have details on him yet.
- But he has a pilot's license.
- Pilot's license?
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
Huh.
McGARRETT [OVER PHONE]: Yes?
- It's Jonathan Kaye.
McGARRETT: Put him on, please.
Hello, Jonathan.
Steve, something
very strange here.
I've just got a copy
of the FBI report
on those fingerprints
that you sent here.
McGARRETT [OVER PHONE]: Yeah?
If you haven't been
able to find Alan Sloan,
then how did you get a
hold of his fingerprints?
Say that again?
The fingerprints that you
sent here are Alan Sloan's.
- Thank you, Jonathan.
- For what?
For confirming something
I've suspected all along
but couldn't prove.
Then you do have
something on Sloan?
Yes, sir, you tell your people
at Treasury that Alan Sloan
is alive and well, and
doing business in Honolulu
under the name of
Richard Chadway.
What are you talking about?
Never mind. Never mind.
I don't have time to
explain, Jonathan.
And take care of your cold.
- Did I hear right?
- Yeah.
The third party to that little scene
at the Sunset Hotel was Alan Sloan,
who must have seen a chance
to make a score, a big score,
and he took it.
You remember early on Jonathan
mentioned that Sloan's specialty
was investigating large
sums of laundered cash?
- So he killed Crayton and Kealoha?
- That would be my guess.
Then he changed
his name to Chadway,
got a new job and he moved
in on the widow Kealoha.
Duke, get out an APB
on Richard Chadway.
Tell H.P.D. we need some backup.
We're on our way
to the Kealoha ranch.
Danno.
Eddie's back.
All right.
Let's go.
Where does
Bodine figure in this?
I think he told the truth.
The murderer had to be a loner, a
smart loner who knew all the moves.
It would have worked out if
they hadn't found Kealoha's body.
Yeah.
[PLANE ENGINE WHIRRING]
- It sounds like a plane, Steve.
- Check the house, Danno.
DANNY: Kimo.
Let's go to that airstrip.
All right, get out, Sloan.
Throw the gun out.
Danno, book him.
- Are you all right?
- I think so.
All things considered, you're
a lucky lady, Mrs. Kealoha.
Easy.
Mr. McGarrett, you
called him Sloan.
Who is he?
Someone who was given a
position of trust and betrayed it.
He isn't the first one.
Unfortunately, he
won't be the last.
that we found your husband's body,
in a cane field in
the Wahiawah area.
That's impossible.
I buried my husband at
Good Shepherd Cemetery
four months ago.
She identifies a body
that isn't her husband's
and admits she
has no love for him.
Sounds like a wife who didn't care,
or a suspect in her husband's murder.
Well, how's the old
ranch deal coming?
I think I have a buyer.
Do you, um, have all the papers?
Payment in full.
Oh, my God. Hey,
Moe, come here, quick.
Look.
This is a John Doe, Steve.
And he's in pretty bad shape.
My guess is, the body
was dropped from a plane.
Hell of a way to go.
I'm not sure that was
the cause of death.
There's evidence of a
gunshot wound in the head.
I won't know the answer
until I finish the workup.
Could be a gangland killing.
How long has he been dead?
It's a little hard to fix.
I would say four months.
I wanna know who he was, doc.
DOCTOR: Best chances
are dental records.
He's had a lot of
expensive work done.
- Let's hope it was done
in Hawaii. DANNY: Steve.
Do you know how many dentists
there are in Honolulu alone?
No, but I know
who's gonna find out.
Sorry, not one of my patients.
Thank you very much.
I'm here to see Dr. Westman.
- Senator?
- You're late.
Sorry, I didn't
design the freeway.
You, uh, never did meet
my wife, did you, Bodine?
Never had the pleasure.
Carla, this is Nelson Bodine.
How do you do?
Darling, uh, step below
a few minutes, will you?
We have some business.
Nice meeting you, Mr. Bodine.
The deal is set?
Yes. How much should
I put you down for?
That deal a
quarter of a million.
[CHUCKLES]
I didn't know an ex-senator's
pension was that liberal.
Sometimes I don't like your
attempts at humor, Bodine.
But you like the way
I invest your money.
Yes.
Don't forget that's why
you don't have to face
those Washington winters again.
Be ready to move
as soon as I call you.
I always am.
I'm sorry I'm late.
I just got here myself.
- May I offer you some wine?
- Thank you.
May I, uh, call you Katie?
This place seems to
demand informality.
Of course.
However, when you
left my house last week
you said this would
be a business meeting.
My, you are anxious.
- What is there left to discuss?
- Price.
I told you we would pay
more than anyone else.
Did you ask around?
Yes, and I'd like to
know what your offer is.
- You said the will was out of probate.
- Yes.
And you have clear title.
As of this morning.
This is what the Gamma
Corporation is prepared to pay.
More than you expected?
Yes.
You're going to be very rich.
I haven't pounded so much
pavement since I was a rookie.
[CHUCKLES]
Looks like you earned
your dough today, Danno.
Chin and Duke have only a
few dentists left on their list.
It doesn't look good.
I got these letters from dentists
on the neighbor islands today.
Nothing.
[McGARRETT GRUNTS]
[PHONE RINGS]
McGarrett. Yeah, Chin,
what have you got?
I got a positive ID, Steve.
A positive ID?
Good work, Chin. Who is it?
Name is Frank Kealoha.
He lived on a ranch on Kenea
Road in the Wahiawah area.
Check H.P.D., see if there's
a missing person's report filed.
Let's go, Danno.
The widow now has
clear title to the estate.
We can proceed immediately
to purchase, as agreed.
This should be a
most profitable venture.
Bodine.
Alice.
Yes, Mr. Bodine?
Take this to the
post office right away.
Is something wrong?
Mr. Bodine, I thought I
was gonna be a secretary.
All I do is run to
the post office.
Do I not pay you a good salary?
You do.
Then do not complain.
Well, how's the old
ranch deal coming?
I think I have a buyer.
- Oh, yeah?
- Mm-hm.
Well, that means you're gonna
be rich as well as beautiful.
Yes, and I'm going
to contemplate it.
Mm-hm.
After you're through contemplating
it, then what are you gonna do?
Very basic, the
pursuit of happiness.
But you're the mystery
man. What about you?
The same as they've
been the last four months,
the pursuit of you.
I think you're gaining on me.
- It looks like thoroughbred mares.
- Yeah.
You can have all the
thoroughbreds in the world, Danno.
I'll take a good sturdy
Morgan any day.
Ooh, the rich know how to live.
Even got a private airport.
Kealoha must have been loaded.
Yeah.
Talk to you later.
Hello.
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.
My associate Dan Williams.
Five-0? What can we do for you?
Well, you can tell us if
there's a Mrs. Kealoha.
- I'm Mrs. Kealoha.
- Is something wrong?
Who are you, sir?
My name's Chadway. I'm
a friend of Mrs. Kealoha's.
May I ask how long your
husband's been missing?
- Missing?
- Yes.
I regret to tell you that we
found your husband's body,
in a cane field in
the Wahiawah area.
That's impossible.
I buried my husband at
Good Shepherd Cemetery
four months ago.
[KATIE SIGHS]
Mm, thank you.
Eddie Clark, my
foreman. Mr. McGarrett.
McGARRETT: How do you do?
- My associate, Dan Williams.
- Hi.
Anything else I can do, ma'am?
No, uh, just take care
of the horses, huh?
Mr. McGarrett, I don't think she's
up to answering any more questions.
KATIE: No, I'm
all right, really.
I just can't understand
how I can bury my husband
and then you find
him in a cane field.
- You must have made a mistake.
- No mistake.
What was the name
of that dentist, Danno?
Dr. Henry Beamer.
That's Frank's dentist.
He made a positive identification
from your husband's dental x-rays.
Well, I just can't understand
that my husband was murdered.
I'm afraid you'll have
to take my word for that.
Now, will you tell us about
his death as you knew it?
It was an automobile accident.
He went off the
road and over a cliff.
The police called and told
me at 6:30 in the morning.
A tourist had seen the wreck.
Who identified the body?
I did.
There was a fire and explosion.
How could you make
a positive identification
under those circumstances?
He was the same build,
he had his watch on,
he was wearing his wedding
ring and his fancy belt buckle.
I see.
Well, that's all for
now, Mrs. Kealoha.
Thank you, but we may
have to see you again.
KATIE: Mr. McGarrett.
You might as well
know the truth now.
The last couple of years, Frank
and I did not get along at all.
In fact, we were
considering a divorce.
Thank you for your candor.
Hey.
Hey, listen, chum.
It's been a very
rough day for you.
Why don't you go upstairs
and get some rest, huh?
Okay.
She identifies a body
that isn't her husband's
and admits she
has no love for him.
What does that
sound like to you?
Sounds like a wife who didn't care,
or a suspect in her husband's murder.
Yeah.
Duke, I want a full
rundown on Frank Kealoha.
Mob connections,
bookmaking, loansharking.
- Whatever you can find.
- Right.
And tell Chin we'll need
an exhumation order
for the body buried
in Kealoha's name.
Believe it or not, Duke,
the widow swears she buried
him at Good Shepherd Cemetery.
- Neatest trick of the week, huh?
- Yeah.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
- Yes, Lani?
- Jonathan Kaye from Washington.
McGARRETT: Oh, put
him on speaker, please.
KAYE [OVER
SPEAKER]: Hello, Steve?
Jonathan, how are you?
Well, it's raining
here. I've got a cold.
Yesterday the Redskins lost to
Dallas, aside from that I'm just fine.
Come to sunny Hawaii, the only thing
we don't have is professional football.
How can I improve your day?
Treasury's got a little problem, Steve,
and they'd like you to help, if you will.
- Do I get a refund if we help them?
- Ha, ha.
KAYE: No, seriously, one
of their agents is missing.
A man named Alan Sloan.
Now, he was doing some
undercover work in Honolulu.
Then very abruptly, his reports
stopped and he can't be located.
What was he doing here?
KAYE: His specialty is investigating
large sums of laundered money.
- Mob money? KAYE: No.
Unreported cash from
so-called respectable sources.
Politicians, professionals,
entertainers, et cetera.
They make large purchases
where the seller is willing to take
cash and not ask too many questions.
Yeah, I know that
dodge, Jonathan.
What's the latest best buy?
Jewelry stores, expensive
boats, building developments,
ranches, cattle, horses.
Horses?
KAYE: Oh, yes, big profit there.
Lot of room to manipulate
the price of breeding stock.
Jonathan, send me a
description of Alan Sloan.
Why, you have something?
McGARRETT: I don't
know, maybe. Maybe.
I'll let you know.
Aloha, Jonathan.
Danno, let's check out Mrs.
Kealoha's horse breeding ranch.
You know, it's possible that it could
be a washing machine for dirty money.
Right.
And one further thing, Danno,
when that description of Alan
Sloan comes in, send it to the coroner.
Maybe, just maybe, he's the
stranger in Frank Kealoha's grave.
Hi.
- Did you sleep?
- No.
I keep seeing Frank's
body in a cane field.
Ah.
Honey,
you didn't even know what he
was up to. He never confided in you.
True.
I just hope... What?
It doesn't interfere with
the sale of the ranch.
Why should it?
I don't... I don't know.
I just don't want
that to happen.
Is the money really
that important?
Don't you understand?
I led a life in hell
with that man,
and I was ready to walk
out without anything.
Now I've got this ranch
and a chance to be free.
I understand.
Hey, I gotta run.
I'll see you later.
Yes, Alice, what is it?
One letter today, sir.
That'll be all. Thank you.
[RINGS]
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Bodine?
Uh, do you have
the papers ready?
I picked them up yesterday.
Fine. We should be
ready to move in 24 hours.
Whenever you say.
I'll call you and tell
you where to meet me.
Fine.
Balford.
This is Bodine.
Yes, Nelson?
It's time for the ante.
You know the number.
Where do I deliver, same place?
Right, and today, please.
[PHONE CLICKS]
This is Mr. Bodine, I
want to talk to Dr. Morrison.
Yes, it's an emergency.
Oh, this is Dr. Morrison.
We're ready to go
on the ranch deal.
I'm having some
second thoughts, Bodine.
It's your money. I'll
find someone else.
No, wait.
The usual place, doctor.
[LINE CLICKS]
Mr. Hans, please.
Jackpot, huh?
I'll be the judge of that.
Thank you.
I said, thank you.
[METAL CLINKS]
It looks to me like we've got
two murders on our hands, Danno.
Whoever killed Kealoha
needed a body to bury in its place.
In fact, had to have a
body to bury in its place.
An autopsy would have
revealed the bullet hole
and tied up Kealoha's estate
for a murder investigation.
Sounds logical.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
- Yes, Lani?
- It's the coroner.
He's got an ID on the body.
Ten-to-one it's Alan
Sloan. Is it a bet?
You're on.
All right, Lani, put him on.
Yeah, doc?
Sorry to disappoint you, Steve,
but the body in Kealoha's
grave is not that of Alan Sloan.
Are you sure about that?
DOCTOR: No doubt about it.
The description is that of a
healthy man in his early 30s.
The body is that of a 50-year-old
man who's had a heart bypass.
Any idea who it is?
DOCTOR: I was able to lift a couple
of prints, and the FBI made a match.
The name is Harry Crayton.
The FBI telexed me a photo.
May I see the photo?
DOCTOR: It's on
the way to your office.
Okay, doc, thank you.
Here we go.
Well, we're back to square one.
And Sloan's still missing.
What if this Crayton's a local?
I don't know, but
the FBI had his prints.
Steve, that, uh, 10-to-1 bet we
had, what was it we were betting?
Oh, a buck?
You could, uh, lay
a 10 spot on me.
Oh, boy.
Okay, Danno.
[KNOCKING]
- Steve? McGARRETT:
What have you got?
Frank Kealoha was clean except
for a drunk driving arrest years ago.
Played around a
bit, but a hard worker.
What about Mrs. Kealoha?
There are no
wants on her, Steve.
But a friend of mine in the
real estate business says
she's shopping the ranch.
Shopping the ranch?
Any takers?
All I know is that she's talking
to a man named Nelson Bodine.
He's an investment counselor for
a firm named Gamma Corporation.
I know of Bodine.
He's been up twice for
extortion and tax fraud.
Walked out on a technicality.
- From Dr. Choi, Steve.
- Well, thank you, Lani.
Well...
Crayton was a high roller.
Wanna see him?
No friend of mine.
- Duke?
- No.
I wonder if Mrs.
Kealoha knows him.
She identified Crayton's
body as that of her husband.
Let's see what she
says about the picture.
I've never seen him before.
Well, that's the man who was
buried in your husband's grave.
It's like a horror movie.
I can't believe
somebody would kill Frank
and then switch his
body for somebody else's.
Can you tell us where your
husband was going the day he left?
We had a fight, uh...
He said he had a
business meeting.
- With whom?
- He didn't say.
Did he say where the
meeting was taking place?
KATIE: No, he didn't say.
Most of his business meetings
were at the Sunset Hotel in Honolulu.
If you knew where he was, why didn't
you call when he didn't come home?
KATIE: I did that once.
It turned out not to
be a business meeting.
All right, I think
that's enough of this.
Do you have to
keep questioning her?
How do you get answers
if you don't ask questions?
Oh, by the way, how long
have you known Mrs. Kealoha?
I don't think that's
any of your concern.
About four months.
Darling, we don't owe
Mr. McGarrett a day-by-day report.
Did I ask for a
day-by-day report?
Oh, one more thing,
would you mind telling me
how you met Nelson Bodine?
He called me, shortly
after my husband's death.
McGarrett, all this is
bordering on harassment.
Maybe Mrs. Kealoha
should consult a lawyer.
Well, I don't think
anyone needs one yet,
but before this is over, someone
is surely gonna need one.
Thank you, Mrs. Kealoha.
Come on.
What do you think
of Mr. Chadway?
He's going to be an instant
millionaire when he marries her,
and I think very
hard about that.
Isn't it funny we share
the same concern?
I want a rundown on him, Danno.
And while you're at it, have
Duke check out that ranch foreman.
We might as well cover them all.
You can't tell the players
without a score card.
DISPATCHER [OVER RADIO]:
Central calling McGarrett.
Yeah, McGarrett. Go ahead.
DISPATCHER:
Jonathan Kaye calling.
Oh, patch it through, please.
KAYE [OVER RADIO]: Steve?
- Jonathan, how's your cold?
Worse.
Listen, Steve, have you got
anything at all for us on Alan Sloan?
No, afraid not, but
we're working on it.
Well, Treasury's
really getting antsy.
They think he's in trouble.
So do I.
Tell me something, did Sloan
ever mention a Harry Crayton
in any of his reports?
Yeah, that was in
one of his early ones.
I sent you copies
of all of them.
They haven't arrived yet.
When did Treasury
get Sloan's last report?
Oh, jeez, that was
some time ago.
He was staying at a...
At a resort hotel on the
North Shore called the, um...
KAYE: Sunset Hotel.
- The Sunset Hotel? KAYE: Yeah.
That's exactly where I'm headed.
You said Harry Crayton
stayed here often?
Yes, but I haven't
seen him for some time.
Do you know what
business he was in?
No, he never mentioned it.
What did he do
when he stayed here?
Played golf mostly.
With anyone in particular?
Mr. McGarrett, it's a policy of this
hotel to respect the privacy of its guests.
Mr. Pike,
this is an official
police investigation.
The man is dead. He
might have been murdered.
He played with our other guests.
Alan Sloan?
Oh, yes, he was a guest.
I remember seeing them together.
Anyone else?
Over there.
That foursome on
the putting green.
Dr. Morrison, the
one in the red cap.
Mr. Crayton met with him.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
- Hello?
- Can you leave now?
Yes. Your office?
No. Listen carefully,
I'll give you directions.
Now, look, McGarrett,
I haven't much time.
My foursome is waiting.
What exactly do you want?
You knew Harry
Crayton, didn't you?
Knew, past tense.
That's right, he's dead.
Oh, I didn't know.
We used to play golf.
Just play golf? Have
any business deals?
This is beginning to
sound like an inquisition.
You don't have to answer.
I think it's only fair to tell you I'm
conducting a murder investigation.
Murder? Whose murder?
Harry Crayton's murder.
And a rancher
named Frank Kealoha.
Frank Kealoha?
And Crayton?
- They were murdered?
- Both of them.
My God.
As I said, you have a
right to remain silent.
Surely you don't think I had
anything to do with a murder?
That's what I'm
here to find out.
Tell me about your
dealings with Crayton.
He was in investments
with a man named Bodine.
They handled some deals for me.
What kind of deals?
Purchases, property, land.
You know, these days it's a
problem what to do with money.
Yeah, you mean
cash, don't you, doc?
I assumed that any deals Bodine
brought to me were legitimate.
And I had nothing to
do with anyone's death.
Oh, my God, I can't
comprehend this thing.
When is the last time
you saw Crayton?
A couple of months ago
he dropped out of the picture.
But I never knew
what happened to him.
I see. But you still have
dealings with Bodine?
Oh, come on, doctor, tell me.
You're in one right
now, aren't you?
Aren't you trying to
purchase the Kealoha ranch?
I never met Kealoha.
I knew him only by name.
But you're putting up part of
the money to purchase the ranch.
I never said that, McGarrett.
You didn't have to.
Enjoy your game, doctor.
Do you, um, have all the papers?
Why couldn't we
meet at your office?
Forgive my idiosyncrasies.
What's that?
Payment in full.
Cash?
Good legal tender.
It came before checks,
bankdrafts and credit cards.
I don't know.
You're getting 25 percent
more than the ranch is worth.
That's all you have to know.
Cheer up. You're a
very wealthy woman.
Mr. Bodine?
Mr. McGarrett is here.
Coco, finish me later.
So you're the
Hawaii Five-0 fellow?
That's right.
I'm honored.
I don't know what for.
I just talked to Dr. Morrison
about your dealings
- with him and Harry Crayton.
- Oh?
I'm interested to find out
how and why Harry Crayton's body
ended up in Frank Kealoha's grave.
- What?
- Yeah.
We just dug him up.
Well, I don't know what
happened to Crayton,
but Frank Kealoha was killed in a
car crash around four months ago.
No, he wasn't, he was murdered.
He was shot.
His body dumped in a cane
field, probably from an airplane.
I didn't know that, I swear it.
Did you meet with Frank
Kealoha about four months ago
at the Sunset Hotel?
No. No, I've never been there.
But Crayton did as
your representative,
to make him an offer on
the Kealoha ranch, didn't he?
I don't know.
They were supposed to
meet for a business deal,
but, uh, I never
saw Crayton again.
You never saw him again?
Didn't that seem strange to you?
No. Look, McGarrett, some
deals come, some deals go.
Bodine, you're in so deep
with your dirty money schemes.
How would like to add murder
one to the growing list, huh?
Believe me, I didn't know what
happened to Crayton until right now.
Oh, you didn't, huh?
Could it be that you didn't
want to cut the pie up a little more
and decided to go it alone?
I don't work alone.
You don't?
Who's your partner?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Do you know you're
digging your own grave?
I'm telling it like
it is, McGarrett.
A few weeks after
Crayton disappeared
I got a letter from someone
offering to make a sales deal
with the Kealoha widow.
I had no reason not
to go along, so I did.
It turned out he was right.
You're telling me that you're doing
business with a man you never met?
Well, he had some
information about me
and it seemed in my
best interest to go along.
The whole thing was
done by phone and mail.
Look, McGarrett, if
you don't believe me,
pick up my secretary.
She's a dumb broad,
but she runs the errands to
the post office, she'll tell you.
What about the deal on the
ranch? Has that been closed yet?
You know about that?
Yeah, I know about it.
I closed it today.
Paid a bundle to Katie Kealoha.
You understand I only
act as a middle man.
I don't know where my
clients get their cash.
It's not my business
to ask questions.
I'm clean.
That, my friend, is
a matter of opinion.
I have a feeling that the
IRS and the district attorney
would like to ask
you some questions.
Listen, McGarrett, I
never killed anyone.
I don't need the money that bad.
There's always another deal.
You hear me, McGarrett?
DUKE: Steve?
- Yes, Duke?
I checked out Chadway.
He's clean locally, but I got a
copy of his employment record
from his company in
Los Angeles, interesting.
Went to work about two weeks before
Kealoha and Crayton were murdered.
It's Chadway all right.
What about his
previous employment?
I couldn't turn up anything.
Then maybe Mr. Chadway
will tell us why, huh?
- Lani.
- Yes, sir?
See if you can locate
Richard Chadway.
And that's the way it
happened, Mr. McGarrett.
Katie and I just seemed
to hit it off, you know?
- The right chemistry.
- Yeah.
A pretty, rich young woman
could attract a lot of attention.
You're implying I'm
after Katie's money.
Not at all. Just
making an observation.
Lunch was your idea.
I agreed to cooperate. I
didn't come here to be insulted.
No insult intended, Mr. Chadway.
Now, where did you work
before that L.A. jobber hired you?
[SIGHS]
Okay.
I worked for Ellington Appliance
Jobbers in Newark, two years. Uh...
Before that, I sold
air conditioners
for Tarton's Department
Store in Manhattan.
McGARRETT: T-A-R-T-O-N-S?
CHADWAY: That's right.
You know we're gonna
check this, don't you?
[CHUCKLES]
I can't believe this.
Am I some sort of a suspect?
This is a police investigation.
Now, two people have been
murdered that we know about.
I just like to touch
all the bases.
Well, if you won't arrest me
for trying to bribe an officer,
I'd just like to pay this
and get the hell out of here.
Oh, no, no, it's a business
luncheon. The state will pay for that.
Terrific.
Goodbye, McGarrett.
Coffee?
Oh, yes, please.
McGARRETT: Don't
touch that glass, please.
I'd just like to take that.
And this.
I'd like to pay you for them.
- You dig glasses?
- Yeah.
Knives and forks too.
Weird. That's a new one on me.
I've heard of high-heeled
shoes and satin, but glasses?
- Well, to each his own.
- Wow.
Danno?
Chadway's fingerprints
are all over these things.
Now, have the lab lift them and send
it by wire to the FBI in Washington.
- See if we can get a make on this.
- Right.
Duke? Ahem.
Check these firms Chadway
said he worked for in the past.
Lani, turn this check in.
The lunch was, uh,
18 and a quarter.
Extras were 6.50.
- Extras? McGARRETT: Yeah.
Knife, fork, glass and a napkin.
- Eddie?
- Yeah.
- Where's she at?
- In the house.
Okay, stash this, get
the jeep, hang tight.
Dick, I'm so glad you're here.
Are you all right?
I'm confused, and I
think I'm in trouble.
What is it?
Look in there.
Mm-hm.
Ah. Mm-mm.
Bodine came through, eh?
You know him?
I've never met him,
but I know who he is
and how he operates.
Well, I don't understand.
I've never seen so
much cash before.
Is it safe for me to accept it?
I think it would be
best if I handled it.
McGARRETT:
Something's missing, Danno.
Something important.
I've got part of a
picture but not all of it.
That treasury agent, Sloan, he had
to be watching Crayton and Bodine,
and he must have been close to
what he needed on both of them.
That would make him a
prime target for murder.
Yeah, but I don't see Crayton
and Bodine as murderers.
Besides, we're missing a body.
Just suppose that
there's a third party.
He finds out about
Crayton's business dealings
and he tries to cut himself
in on the Kealoha deal.
Suppose that they get in a fight,
and during the fight, Crayton is killed.
Yeah. And then?
And then, Kealoha
walks in unexpectedly
and this mysterious
third party...
He has to shoot him.
And then switches the body
because of the bullet
hole in Kealoha's head.
Yeah, and, uh, Crayton's body is
pushed over a cliff in a flaming car,
and Kealoha's body is
dropped into a cane field.
It would have to be somebody who
knew about the offer on the ranch.
That brings us pretty
close to Katie Kealoha.
Yeah, or someone close to her.
- Chadway.
- Yeah, Chadway.
Well, where does
Sloan fit in all this?
I don't know, Danno,
but I've got a good idea.
[SNAPS FINGERS]
Well, looks like it's all here.
Eddie, make sure
we're not being watched.
Then go out and get the plane
ready. We've got to move fast.
What about her?
CHADWAY: She stays with us.
We can't do that, man.
Sooner or later you'd...
Hey, go on.
You killed Frank.
You and Eddie?
I did, Kate, but it was
for a worthy cause.
You pretended to love me.
Outside of the money, that
was the easiest part of the job.
You knew Bodine was
going to pay me in cash.
Knew it?
I arranged it. Ha, ha.
You were the one who sent him
out here the first time to talk to me.
Yes, I did.
But he doesn't know
who I am, he never will.
You're going to
kill me, aren't you?
Just like you killed Frank.
I'm sorry, Kate.
I really am.
I thought maybe you and I
could go away some place.
You'd never have to
know about any of this.
But McGarrett's getting close,
and, uh, I have to travel alone.
- Steve. McGARRETT: Yes, Duke?
I checked those firms
Chadway says he worked for.
- Yeah?
- They never heard of him.
- I thought so. DUKE:
One thing more.
Eddie Clark, the ranch foreman who
went to work for them two months ago,
he's from the mainland, I
don't have details on him yet.
- But he has a pilot's license.
- Pilot's license?
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
Huh.
McGARRETT [OVER PHONE]: Yes?
- It's Jonathan Kaye.
McGARRETT: Put him on, please.
Hello, Jonathan.
Steve, something
very strange here.
I've just got a copy
of the FBI report
on those fingerprints
that you sent here.
McGARRETT [OVER PHONE]: Yeah?
If you haven't been
able to find Alan Sloan,
then how did you get a
hold of his fingerprints?
Say that again?
The fingerprints that you
sent here are Alan Sloan's.
- Thank you, Jonathan.
- For what?
For confirming something
I've suspected all along
but couldn't prove.
Then you do have
something on Sloan?
Yes, sir, you tell your people
at Treasury that Alan Sloan
is alive and well, and
doing business in Honolulu
under the name of
Richard Chadway.
What are you talking about?
Never mind. Never mind.
I don't have time to
explain, Jonathan.
And take care of your cold.
- Did I hear right?
- Yeah.
The third party to that little scene
at the Sunset Hotel was Alan Sloan,
who must have seen a chance
to make a score, a big score,
and he took it.
You remember early on Jonathan
mentioned that Sloan's specialty
was investigating large
sums of laundered cash?
- So he killed Crayton and Kealoha?
- That would be my guess.
Then he changed
his name to Chadway,
got a new job and he moved
in on the widow Kealoha.
Duke, get out an APB
on Richard Chadway.
Tell H.P.D. we need some backup.
We're on our way
to the Kealoha ranch.
Danno.
Eddie's back.
All right.
Let's go.
Where does
Bodine figure in this?
I think he told the truth.
The murderer had to be a loner, a
smart loner who knew all the moves.
It would have worked out if
they hadn't found Kealoha's body.
Yeah.
[PLANE ENGINE WHIRRING]
- It sounds like a plane, Steve.
- Check the house, Danno.
DANNY: Kimo.
Let's go to that airstrip.
All right, get out, Sloan.
Throw the gun out.
Danno, book him.
- Are you all right?
- I think so.
All things considered, you're
a lucky lady, Mrs. Kealoha.
Easy.
Mr. McGarrett, you
called him Sloan.
Who is he?
Someone who was given a
position of trust and betrayed it.
He isn't the first one.
Unfortunately, he
won't be the last.
