Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 10, Episode 6 - The Ninth Step - full transcript
An ex-cop who's a recovering alcoholic returns to Hawaii after a long stint on the mainland in order to make amends to McGarrett (the "ninth step" of Alcoholics Anonymous) -- he was drunk on duty and failed to stop an armored-car heist which led to the theft of a fortune and the death of the car's driver. But McGarrett discovers that the cop's drink was drugged in advance by the thieves and their accomplice (the ex-cop's ex-girlfriend) -- and they are planning still another heist to replace the money, lost in a car explosion at the beginning of the show. When the disgraced cop launches an investigation of his own, he puts his life in grave danger.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
- What's it look like, Danno?
- H.P.D. was right.
All the bills we've found
match the serial number of
the Flynn armored-car robbery.
I came back to apologize.
In case you've forgotten,
one of the men in
that armored car died.
- Who paid you to set me up?
- Nobody did, I swear to you, Marty.
She put knockout drops
in your drink? Why?
To keep me from
setting up the roadblock.
Marty.
[ENGINE STARTS]
GUARD: Aloha, Harry.
We're gonna miss you.
Have a good trip, huh?
You can count on it.
SAKAI: Hey, Harry.
SALAZAR: Hey, aloha, old buddy.
SAKAI: Hey, we just wanna talk.
SALAZAR: Harry, wait a minute.
- Damn it, what's the matter with him?
- Let's go, let's not lose him.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
[TIRES SQUEALING]
He can't help us now.
[SIRENS WAILING]
- What's it look like, Danno?
- H.P.D. was right.
All the bills we've found
match the serial number of
the Flynn armored-car robbery.
- Harry Cagle? DANNY: Confirmed.
I talked to the Flynn people.
He quit his job this morning.
Looks like he was the
inside man, all right.
Eighteen months, 18 long months,
and all we have is a dead man
and a handful of charred bills.
Sergeant, I want
some lab men out here.
I want an autopsy on the
victim as soon as possible.
Doesn't look like the bills are
the only thing that's burned.
Yeah, Steve really wanted to
nail that bunch the day it happened.
Marty Cobb blew it.
Cobb, the guy they threw off
H.P.D. for hitting the sauce?
Exactly.
Danno, doesn't look like we're
gonna get much from that car.
But if Harry Cagle sat on
his share of the loot this long,
we might just have a shot.
- I'll start with Flynn's.
- Good.
It just doesn't sync that
Cagle died the day he quit.
And what was he doing out here?
Why was he driving so
fast? Where was he going?
Duke, I wanna know everything
there is to know about Cagle:
where and how he lived,
friends, enemies, the works.
If there's anything
loose on him, nail it down.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Honolulu police yesterday revealed
that portions of the money stolen
in an armed-car robbery
a year and a half ago
were found in the
charred remains of a car
that plunged over an embankment
near Pearl City two days ago.
The driver of the car, who
perished in the flaming wreckage,
Harry Cagle, a former
employee of Flynn Company,
an armored-car operator
involved in the crime.
The weather report
for this weekend,
blue skies, more of
that hot, sunny weather.
Our poor California
ranches and wineries.
Let us all send up a
small prayer this weekend
for that much needed rainfall.
[EASY-LISTENING MUSIC PLAYING]
Marty.
Marty Cobb.
MARTY: How you been, Eddie?
- Been a long time.
- Where have you been?
- On the mainland. I just got in today.
Oh.
Yeah, well, you're, uh...
You're looking well, man.
- Are you back to stay?
- That depends.
Yeah, well, it's good
to see you again.
How about one on the house?
No thanks, Eddie, I'm
not drinking anymore.
- Oh, yeah? Since when?
- Eight months.
Congratulations.
Have some peanuts.
[CHUCKLES]
Thank you.
Eddie, uh...
Mavis Tracy. You know
where I can find her?
I went by her place. She didn't
leave a forwarding address.
Mavis.
That's right, you two
had a thing going.
I need to talk to her, Eddie.
Sorry, she left here,
oh, about a year ago.
Best cashier I ever had too.
She still in town?
EDDIE: Beats me, I
never hear from her.
If I do, I'll get in touch if
you'll leave your number.
I haven't settled in yet.
Thanks for the peanuts,
Eddie. Check with you later.
Frank, keep an eye on things.
You know, Flynn's still delivers
cash all over this city every morning.
And how are we gonna
hit them without Harry?
The same way, Sakai.
We just gotta figure out
a way of getting in there.
[KNOCKING]
- Yeah, who is it? EDDIE: Eddie.
You, uh, wanted to know
anything I picked up on the street.
Well, Marty Cobb's back in town.
He got back today, he's on the
wagon, and he's looking for Mavis.
- Where's he staying?
EDDIE: He hasn't lit yet.
Well, if he shows up
again, be sure to find out.
And you make
sure you don't forget.
I came through for you
before, didn't I, Sakai?
You can count on me.
Hey, Sal, I think we
ought to forget it here.
Let's pack up and go
back to the mainland.
What's eating you?
Hey, nothing's going right.
First Harry, now Marty Cobb...
He doesn't know anything
about us. Just cool it.
We know the routine.
It's an easy touch.
We're staying
here till we score.
Marty Cobb?
All right, send him in.
Hello, Steve.
Thanks for seeing me.
I wouldn't blame you if you
didn't wanna speak to me again.
Oh, I'm speaking to you, Marty.
But I think you should know
my feelings haven't changed.
- Steve, I know what I did.
- I'm curious, Marty.
We turn up the inside man
on that Flynn armored-car
job, and you, uh...
You turn up the very next day.
What are you doing here?
Well, it's not about the
robbery. Well, not exactly.
You mind if I sit down?
When I heard what had
happened, I felt it was time.
Time?
Time for what?
- I came back to apologize.
- Apologize?
Marty, I'm not the
one to apologize to.
In case you've forgotten,
one of the men in
that armored car died.
He died because you were drunk,
died because you abandoned
your responsibilities as a cop.
I know that better than
you, Steve. I've lived it.
I'm gonna see the man's family.
What I wanted to tell you was
that I straightened out my life,
thanks to Alcoholics Anonymous.
Glad to hear that, Marty.
I know a lot of people
who've gone to AA.
It's changed their lives, brought
them back from a living hell.
I hope you stay with it.
Well, Steve, in AA there
are 12 steps you have to take.
The ninth step is:
"Make amends to all those people
you harmed through drinking."
All of them? It's gonna
be a big step for you, Marty.
All right, maybe I can't do
anything about the big mistake,
but I can do something
about the little ones.
I once hustled you for
50 bucks I spent on booze.
That's not all of it.
You'll get the
rest when I get it.
You got a job?
No, no, but I'll get one.
Well, you can pay me
back when you go to work.
I wish you'd take it, Steve.
It would mean a lot to me.
Oh, I'll take it. It'll
mean just as much then.
Thanks, Steve.
Oh, Steve,
there's somebody else I need
to reach, if you could help me.
Who's that?
A girl whose life I loused
up. Her name is Mavis Tracy.
She's moved. I don't
have her new address.
- Five-0 could locate her for me.
- Mavis Tracy?
Well, I have her name
here on a piece of paper.
That's her old address.
My number is on the other side.
You can reach me there any time.
Okay, Marty.
Thanks, Steve, appreciate it.
CHIN HO: Duke.
[ENGINE STOPS]
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- My name is McGarrett. I'm looking...
- We go on a first-name basis here.
- I'm Charlie.
- Right.
Okay, Charlie, is Marty here?
Marty?
I thought you were
on a first-name basis.
- Marty Cobb.
- Last names are strictly confidential.
- Okay, pal, now, look...
- Uh, Charlie.
All right, Charlie,
my name is Steve.
I'm with Five-0, and I
don't have too much time.
You might ask our executive
secretary about Marty.
Uh, she's out in the garden.
What's her first name?
Because I don't wanna
commit any faux pas.
- Gloria.
- Gloria?
All right, Charlie, thank you.
[CROWD APPLAUDING]
Good afternoon.
My name is Gloria,
and I'm an alcoholic.
ALL [IN UNISON]: Hi, Gloria.
When I was a child,
I lived in a world where
all the seats were taken.
But I kept looking for
a group to belong to,
hoping magic would happen,
playing long shots that
couldn't possibly come in.
But I don't have to
tell you about that.
You know what it's like.
You've all been there.
We all handled it the same way.
We didn't shoot ourselves.
We did it the hard way.
[CROWD APPLAUDING]
You should have
seen me a year ago.
A wreck, 90 pounds.
- Cream and sugar? MARTY:
No, thanks, I'll take it black.
Yeah, well, you should have
seen me a year ago. Ha, ha.
- Marty. MARTY: Steve.
- Checking up on me, huh?
- Oh, no, no, just glad to see you here.
Oh, Steve, this is Gloria.
Gloria's my sponsor while I'm here.
If I have a problem or yearn
for anything stronger than coffee,
I call Gloria and
she helps me out.
- Gloria, this is Steve.
- Hello, Steve, how are you?
Gloria.
- Gee, you people work fast,
huh? GLORIA: We have to.
Our people come to
Hawaii on vacation too.
You don't have to worry
about Marty. He's gonna be fine.
Listen, I'm gonna circulate.
I'll see you a little later.
Nice meeting you.
McGARRETT: I really admire
you for coming here, Marty.
MARTY: Thanks.
McGARRETT: We checked
up on Mavis Tracy for you.
MARTY: Did you find
her? McGARRETT: Yeah.
She works as a model in
a dress shop downtown.
I have the address here.
If you'd like, I can drop
you off. I'm headed that way.
MARTY: Oh, no, that's
all right, I rented a car.
Besides, you know those
steps I was telling you about?
Don't do any good unless you got
the strength to carry them out yourself.
I understand. Stick with
it, Marty, you'll make it.
Don't worry, I will.
What's your hurry? I thought
you'd be glad to see me.
Marty, I am glad to see you.
You still don't lie
very well, Mavis.
Well, I'm on my lunch
hour. I have to hurry.
Fine, I'll go with you.
- Oh, Marty, I've got things to do.
- So do I.
You know, it took
me almost a year
to figure out you were
the one who did it.
Did what?
Marty, I didn't do anything.
That's funny.
I ran out because
I couldn't face you.
I was so ashamed.
I loved you.
And all the time, you were
the one who set me up.
No, it wasn't me.
You set yourself up.
You were the one talking about
your big police work, not me.
Where? Who heard it?
Anyone who would listen.
You were drunk.
Every place we went that night,
it was talk, big talk.
All right, I talked, but I
didn't give myself that mickey.
I was out for almost 36 hours.
Why, Mavis? Why'd you do it?
Marty, I just didn't
wanna see you get hurt.
They would have
killed you if they had to.
Who?
Who was it?
Over here.
I want that name. Who
paid you to set me up?
Nobody did, I
swear to you, Marty.
Mavis, I want that name.
I got nothing else to lose.
It was a man named
Salazar. Vic Salazar.
- Where do I find him?
- I don't know, honest.
Just a name, that's all I know.
- Nice seeing you.
- Marty, I didn't do it for money.
I was afraid, that's all.
That was enough.
Harry was the most
dependable man I ever had.
It's hard to figure that he was
the one that rigged that truck.
- But he could have.
- Oh, sure.
Any decent mechanic
can run a bypass
from the exhaust manifold
into the air-conditioning intake.
Okay, we know how the carbon
monoxide was introduced to the truck.
What we can't figure out
is why his name wasn't on the
list we checked after the robbery.
Cagle wasn't servicing
trucks at that time.
He mostly ran parts,
that kind of thing.
- But he did have access to the trucks?
- He helped out when we were short.
But I swear,
I don't remember him
being in the garage that day.
If you can think of
anything to help, let us know.
- Sure.
- Thank you.
SAKAI: This is like looking
for a weak spot at Fort Knox.
Why does it have to
be an armored car?
Because we can get
in the way Harry did.
It'll just be tougher to
find the opening, that's all.
We'd have a better chance
knocking over a bank.
- How about it, Sal, a bank?
- Hey, hey.
Just what we need,
a room with a view.
They got guards. We'll
be right in their backyard.
That's where we're gonna play.
Let's go see what's available.
Marty.
Hi, Barney.
- When did you get those stripes?
- A couple of months back.
Uh-huh. They don't care who they
make sergeant nowadays, do they?
Ha, ha. I still feel
a little like a zebra.
Mm-hm.
Come on up, I'll
buy you a cold drink.
Uh, I don't know, I...
- Come on.
- All right.
- So you made sergeant. Son
of a gun. BARNEY: Yeah, finally.
MARTY: Wow. Ha, ha.
Well, it couldn't have
happened to a better guy.
- Except me. Ha-ha-ha.
BARNEY: Ha, ha, yeah, right.
- Josh just made lieutenant.
- Hey, that's great. He's a good cop.
No better than you were.
To this day, you were
the best partner I ever had.
Well, thank you, Barney,
but I know what I was.
Alcoholism is a disease.
If I'd have recognized
the symptoms sooner,
you'd be up there
with him today.
I was your partner. I
should've seen it coming.
Look, Barney, whatever
happened, I did to myself.
Well, you look all right for it.
- Well, I think I'm dealing with it.
- I'm glad.
Hey, if there's
anything I can do...
Well, as a matter of fact,
there is. I'm looking for a guy.
A Salazar, Vic Salazar.
His sister hasn't heard
from him in over a year.
Doesn't even have
an address on him.
Motor Vehicles might have
something on the computer.
I don't want you
breaking any rules for me.
A missing person is a
missing person. Come on.
Okay.
CLERK: Vic Salazar?
Yeah, moved a couple years ago.
Well, did he leave any
forwarding address?
He didn't leave a thing, including
what he owed for the rent.
Do you know any friends
or relatives I could contact
who would know where he is now?
Only one I ever saw him
with was a girlfriend and, uh...
I think her name
was Melia. Pretty girl.
Works right up
here at a lei stand.
MARTY: You Melia?
Yes.
Salazar been around lately?
- Who wants to know?
- I do.
You a cop?
What if I was to tell
you I was a friend?
[CHUCKLES]
Then I'd say you
belong to a small club.
Hmm.
Make it twice that and
maybe I heard of him.
There's a bar called
The Blue Mirror.
You can usually find
him there around 7.
Okay.
Well, how do you
know he was a cop?
Hey, I know a cop
when I see one.
What did he look like?
Tall, haole, light brown
hair, not bad-looking.
Well, what did he
want? What did he say?
You figure it out.
I set him up so you
could get a look at him.
- That ought to be worth dinner.
- Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
The Blue Mirror, tonight, 7:00.
Did H.P.D. check for
prints in Cagle's room?
They were all Cagle's. The
guy must have lived like a hermit.
DANNY: Didn't even
have a phone, Steve.
Cooked all his
meals on a hot plate.
The landlady said he
never went out much.
Ah, just stayed there and
counted his money, huh?
He had everybody
at Flynn's fooled.
Thought he was
honest as the day is long.
Yeah, just one
minor transgression.
He rigged the car
with carbon monoxide
and killed the poor driver.
- I picked up one thing at Flynn's.
- What's that?
Cagle got a phone
call on the day he quit.
Whoever it was didn't leave his
name but was pretty anxious to find him.
To find him or the money?
Either way, they missed, didn't
they, when he ran off the road?
H.P.D. is still looking for
someone who saw the accident.
- So far no luck.
- Danno,
supposing...
Supposing it wasn't an accident.
Wouldn't it be safe to say
that someone other than
Cagle knew about the money?
You mean the guys who pulled
the armored-car job 18 months ago.
That's what I mean.
If we're in luck, they
may still be around.
Tell you what.
Check with the
maintenance chief at Flynn's.
Tell him it might be wise
for the next couple of weeks
to double-check every
truck that goes out.
Will do.
[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]
MARTY: I'm looking
for a guy named Salazar.
Know where I can find him?
Yeah, I know him. He's in
the back, making a phone call.
Thanks.
Salazar?
- Who wants him?
- Cobb, Marty Cobb.
- So?
- You don't remember me, do you?
Come on, get up. Move.
Up against the wall, come on.
[GUN CLATTERS]
All right, turn around.
A year and a half ago,
you chopped my legs off.
Now you're gonna pay the bill.
- What are you talking about?
- You had me set up.
It cost a man's
life and my career.
I've been waiting a long
time for you to surface.
Now I'm gonna
take you in myself.
Let's go, Salazar, come on.
[MARTY GRUNTING]
All right.
Who gave you my name?
Answer me. Who told you?
- I'll get it out of him for you.
- No.
Sit down.
I got a better idea.
Hey, Marty.
You want a drink?
- No.
- Huh?
No.
Ah.
Sure you do, Marty.
- Come on, Marty. Hey.
- No.
[MARTY GRUNTS]
Hold him.
[MARTY SPUTTERS]
TICE: Hey, man,
that's good booze.
With him, it's
better than a gun.
McGARRETT [WHISPERS]: My God.
[IN NORMAL VOICE] How could
anyone do that to another human?
If Marty is responsible, he
sure made amends, didn't he?
- And we told him where to find her.
- No, I told him, Danno, I told him.
- Find him and bring him in.
- Right.
I'm sorry, no visitors.
McGarrett, Hawaii
Five-0, doctor.
How bad is she?
Severe lacerations,
contusions, possible concussion.
It's bad.
Did she say who did it?
No, she's been unconscious
since she got here.
- Will she make it?
- Yes, hopefully.
But she's gonna need
some plastic surgery.
I can see that.
Here's my card.
Call me if there are
any changes, doctor.
Certainly.
Hello?
Gloria?
I slipped, Gloria.
I want a drink,
and I want it bad.
MARTY [OVER PHONE]: Come get me.
Well, tell me where you are
and I'll come get you right now.
I'm downtown somewhere.
Well, Marty.
Marty?
GLORIA [OVER PHONE]:
Marty? Marty? Marty?
I'm looking for Marty.
Have you heard from him?
Marty just called,
Steve. He's in trouble.
- You mean he's drinking again?
- Yes.
He's in more trouble than
you know. Where is he?
- I don't know.
- Gloria, this is official.
- I want his address. Where is he?
- Well, that I have.
Hey, what are you doing?
Hey, Stevey, come on.
Let's talk about Mavis
Tracy first, Marty.
- What?
- Mavis Tracy.
The girl I was stupid enough
to set up for you, remember?
Uh, she set me up. I didn't...
- Come on, give me the bottle...
- Marty, listen to me.
That poor girl is lying in a hospital
room nearly beaten to death.
Now, why did you do it?
Why did you go after her?
Marty, listen to me.
Why did you do it?
Oh, I didn't touch her,
Steve. I swear I didn't.
Come on, Marty.
Aah! All right.
Come on, sober up, pal.
[MARTY GRUNTING]
Marty.
Shake it off.
MARTY: That's
enough, that's enough.
- Okay, back to Mavis.
- I didn't see her last night.
- Why did you ask me to locate her?
- I told you why.
All right, come on, Marty.
I'm sick of this. Come
on, put some clothes on.
I'm gonna book you on a charge
of drunk and disorderly. Let's go.
Drunk, I'm not.
Well, it'll hold until
Mavis can tell us the rest.
Come on, let's go, Marty.
All right, I'll tell you.
The night before I was
to set up the roadblock,
Mavis slipped me a mickey.
She put knockout drops
in your drink? Why?
Why would she do that?
To keep me from
setting up the roadblock.
Well, how did she know about a
police roadblock in the first place?
I was drinking
earlier in the evening,
and I was blowing
off my mouth about it.
Somebody heard
me and got to her.
- Who heard you?
- Oh, forget it, it's over.
I asked you a question,
Marty. Who heard you?
Look, it's past history.
Just forget it, it's over.
I was reading this AA
pamphlet before you got here.
Talk about 12 steps.
You said you came
here for number nine.
Three lousy steps, and last
night you dove back into that jug.
- Why?
- I just lost my grip.
Yeah, and you're gonna
lose it for good, pal.
Have you read number ten?
"Continue to take
personal inventory,
and when we're wrong,
promptly admit it."
Well, you conned me once,
and you're dead wrong if you
think you're gonna do it again.
Look, I'm not conning you.
Marty, it took time to
climb out of the gutter.
You wanna slip back into it?
Go ahead, drown your sorrows.
Your choice, do it.
Here. Here, go ahead.
All right, I'll tell
you the truth.
- But it's not a very pretty story.
- I didn't think it would be.
I'm gonna need a drink first.
You don't need a drink.
You never needed a drink.
Will you pour me
another cup of coffee?
Gladly.
SALAZAR: Hey, Sakai, wake up.
I found a weak spot in
Fort Knox. Come here.
That catering truck comes by
every two hours, right on the numbers.
And when the grease
monkeys come out,
a guy could slide in there
while the door's open,
do the job, and come out before
they finish their sandwiches.
What about the guards?
Well, they didn't spot
Harry. They won't spot you.
- Me?
- Yeah, you.
[PHONE RINGS]
McGarrett.
Yes, captain.
Oh?
Did he give you a description?
[McGARRETT SIGHS]
Very well, captain, thank you.
Well, H.P.D. found someone
else who saw Harry Cagle crash.
This time the witness said that the car
following Cagle was a blue convertible.
DUKE: Eye witnesses.
One is sure it was a black sedan,
another says it was a white sports car.
Steve, I went to
the flower shop.
The girl who steered Marty to
The Blue Mirror hasn't been back.
Well, Salazar is here, and
somebody must know where he is.
Then you believe Marty?
Yeah, I do. Don't
ask me why, but I do.
- I should work on the bartender.
McGARRETT: Wait a minute, Danno.
Let's say that we could work up
an assault-and-battery
charge against Salazar.
Now, the most he could get for that
is two to three months in the state.
- If we find him. McGARRETT:
Oh, we'll find him.
And when we do, I wanna
nail him for that armored-car job,
because that's murder,
murder and grand theft.
And that's 20 years to life
for him and his partners.
That's justice. Now,
let's work on that.
Jenny?
Better put some
more on your face.
Yeah, that's better. Yeah.
Mavis?
I'm sorry.
I'd do anything I could
to make it up to you.
You don't have to do anything.
Just go away, please.
I don't wanna go away.
Mavis, I came to Hawaii
for all the wrong reasons.
- It doesn't matter.
- But it does matter.
I ran out on you once
because I was ashamed.
That's not gonna happen again.
You were ashamed?
Oh, Marty, I destroyed you.
No, you didn't.
- I did it all by myself.
- You lost everything that mattered.
Not everything.
I'll be back, take
you out of here.
Don't you ever sleep?
McGARRETT: Don't you?
I had enough coffee today
to keep me up for a week.
- Better than booze, Marty.
- Okay, rub it in.
- No, no, just a reminder.
- Hmm. Any news on Salazar?
Nothing but blind alleys so far.
I've got an idea.
Why don't you put the word
out that I'm gunning for him?
He'll come after me that way.
I can get him for you, Steve.
Thanks for the offer, Marty,
but you know I can't
let you work with us.
I don't want a
badge, just a chance.
I think you know the
answer to that too, don't you?
Yeah, I'm a drunk.
I might blow it.
I didn't say you were a drunk, Marty,
but you did, so maybe that's progress.
Now, this is Five-0's job.
We're gonna get them, and
maybe, with a little luck, soon.
So just hold the
good thought, huh?
Marty.
If you need anything,
that door is always open.
Remember that.
[DOOR CLOSES THEN
McGARRETT SIGHS]
Steve, your hunch was right.
One of the trucks was
rigged just like the first.
The maintenance chief
found it this morning.
- Did the word get
out? DANNY: No.
The chief called me right away.
But whoever did it was slick.
No one but regular personnel
was seen coming or going all day.
And this armored car was rigged
to make carbon monoxide come
out of the air conditioning system?
- Right.
- Then it's the same bunch.
McGARRETT: Probably.
But without Harry
Cagle working inside,
they can't possibly know the route
that truck would be taking or when.
So they've gotta pick it up as
soon as it leaves the garage.
How do we close them
off before they move in?
We don't.
Steve, if we trail them too long,
they might spot us and call it off.
Unless we put a
beeper in the truck
and, uh, ask for a
volunteer to drive it.
Duke, get a uniform.
[ALL LAUGH]
Now, Doc Bergman says it takes a
while for carbon monoxide to work,
so you'll have to do a
convincing acting job.
- How long should I give it?
- Well, it depends.
- When you pick them up in the...
- Mr. McGarrett?
- This man says he's on your team.
- Marty, what are you doing here?
- Hoping I could get in on the action.
- I told you last night that's impossible.
- I just wanna help, Steve.
- Help?
Marty, don't you see
you can blow this operation
if they see you here?
Now, stay out of it.
See that he stays
here until this is over.
Duke, come here.
I want you to be sure
to drive normally at first,
and then more and more erratically
until you reach the coast highway.
About this point, pull
over and play dead.
But don't open that
door till we get there.
We won't be far behind.
- Like a piece of candy?
- Sure.
- Unh.
- Hey.
[ENGINE STARTS]
- Hey.
- Marty.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
GUARD: What are you doing?
- Marty. Marty!
- We can still catch him.
- No, hold it, Danno, hold it.
If we try to stop him,
they're liable to see us.
It's his game now. Let's
just hope he plays it right.
- Looks like it's working.
- Yeah, it shouldn't be long now.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[SALAZAR GRUNTS]
[GUNSHOT]
It's a setup. Let's get
the hell out of here.
McGARRETT: Hold it.
All right, get in there.
Let me see it.
Well, you almost
blew it again, Marty.
You heard what
the lady at AA said.
Alcoholics take chances only
that there ain't a prayer of coming in.
Well, you're lucky this one did.
- Think you can walk?
- I'll try.
[MARTY GRUNTS]
Yeah, I think so.
[MARTY GRUNTS]
Well, you made nine big steps.
You should be able
to take a couple more.
Easy.
- What's it look like, Danno?
- H.P.D. was right.
All the bills we've found
match the serial number of
the Flynn armored-car robbery.
I came back to apologize.
In case you've forgotten,
one of the men in
that armored car died.
- Who paid you to set me up?
- Nobody did, I swear to you, Marty.
She put knockout drops
in your drink? Why?
To keep me from
setting up the roadblock.
Marty.
[ENGINE STARTS]
GUARD: Aloha, Harry.
We're gonna miss you.
Have a good trip, huh?
You can count on it.
SAKAI: Hey, Harry.
SALAZAR: Hey, aloha, old buddy.
SAKAI: Hey, we just wanna talk.
SALAZAR: Harry, wait a minute.
- Damn it, what's the matter with him?
- Let's go, let's not lose him.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
[TIRES SQUEALING]
He can't help us now.
[SIRENS WAILING]
- What's it look like, Danno?
- H.P.D. was right.
All the bills we've found
match the serial number of
the Flynn armored-car robbery.
- Harry Cagle? DANNY: Confirmed.
I talked to the Flynn people.
He quit his job this morning.
Looks like he was the
inside man, all right.
Eighteen months, 18 long months,
and all we have is a dead man
and a handful of charred bills.
Sergeant, I want
some lab men out here.
I want an autopsy on the
victim as soon as possible.
Doesn't look like the bills are
the only thing that's burned.
Yeah, Steve really wanted to
nail that bunch the day it happened.
Marty Cobb blew it.
Cobb, the guy they threw off
H.P.D. for hitting the sauce?
Exactly.
Danno, doesn't look like we're
gonna get much from that car.
But if Harry Cagle sat on
his share of the loot this long,
we might just have a shot.
- I'll start with Flynn's.
- Good.
It just doesn't sync that
Cagle died the day he quit.
And what was he doing out here?
Why was he driving so
fast? Where was he going?
Duke, I wanna know everything
there is to know about Cagle:
where and how he lived,
friends, enemies, the works.
If there's anything
loose on him, nail it down.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Honolulu police yesterday revealed
that portions of the money stolen
in an armed-car robbery
a year and a half ago
were found in the
charred remains of a car
that plunged over an embankment
near Pearl City two days ago.
The driver of the car, who
perished in the flaming wreckage,
Harry Cagle, a former
employee of Flynn Company,
an armored-car operator
involved in the crime.
The weather report
for this weekend,
blue skies, more of
that hot, sunny weather.
Our poor California
ranches and wineries.
Let us all send up a
small prayer this weekend
for that much needed rainfall.
[EASY-LISTENING MUSIC PLAYING]
Marty.
Marty Cobb.
MARTY: How you been, Eddie?
- Been a long time.
- Where have you been?
- On the mainland. I just got in today.
Oh.
Yeah, well, you're, uh...
You're looking well, man.
- Are you back to stay?
- That depends.
Yeah, well, it's good
to see you again.
How about one on the house?
No thanks, Eddie, I'm
not drinking anymore.
- Oh, yeah? Since when?
- Eight months.
Congratulations.
Have some peanuts.
[CHUCKLES]
Thank you.
Eddie, uh...
Mavis Tracy. You know
where I can find her?
I went by her place. She didn't
leave a forwarding address.
Mavis.
That's right, you two
had a thing going.
I need to talk to her, Eddie.
Sorry, she left here,
oh, about a year ago.
Best cashier I ever had too.
She still in town?
EDDIE: Beats me, I
never hear from her.
If I do, I'll get in touch if
you'll leave your number.
I haven't settled in yet.
Thanks for the peanuts,
Eddie. Check with you later.
Frank, keep an eye on things.
You know, Flynn's still delivers
cash all over this city every morning.
And how are we gonna
hit them without Harry?
The same way, Sakai.
We just gotta figure out
a way of getting in there.
[KNOCKING]
- Yeah, who is it? EDDIE: Eddie.
You, uh, wanted to know
anything I picked up on the street.
Well, Marty Cobb's back in town.
He got back today, he's on the
wagon, and he's looking for Mavis.
- Where's he staying?
EDDIE: He hasn't lit yet.
Well, if he shows up
again, be sure to find out.
And you make
sure you don't forget.
I came through for you
before, didn't I, Sakai?
You can count on me.
Hey, Sal, I think we
ought to forget it here.
Let's pack up and go
back to the mainland.
What's eating you?
Hey, nothing's going right.
First Harry, now Marty Cobb...
He doesn't know anything
about us. Just cool it.
We know the routine.
It's an easy touch.
We're staying
here till we score.
Marty Cobb?
All right, send him in.
Hello, Steve.
Thanks for seeing me.
I wouldn't blame you if you
didn't wanna speak to me again.
Oh, I'm speaking to you, Marty.
But I think you should know
my feelings haven't changed.
- Steve, I know what I did.
- I'm curious, Marty.
We turn up the inside man
on that Flynn armored-car
job, and you, uh...
You turn up the very next day.
What are you doing here?
Well, it's not about the
robbery. Well, not exactly.
You mind if I sit down?
When I heard what had
happened, I felt it was time.
Time?
Time for what?
- I came back to apologize.
- Apologize?
Marty, I'm not the
one to apologize to.
In case you've forgotten,
one of the men in
that armored car died.
He died because you were drunk,
died because you abandoned
your responsibilities as a cop.
I know that better than
you, Steve. I've lived it.
I'm gonna see the man's family.
What I wanted to tell you was
that I straightened out my life,
thanks to Alcoholics Anonymous.
Glad to hear that, Marty.
I know a lot of people
who've gone to AA.
It's changed their lives, brought
them back from a living hell.
I hope you stay with it.
Well, Steve, in AA there
are 12 steps you have to take.
The ninth step is:
"Make amends to all those people
you harmed through drinking."
All of them? It's gonna
be a big step for you, Marty.
All right, maybe I can't do
anything about the big mistake,
but I can do something
about the little ones.
I once hustled you for
50 bucks I spent on booze.
That's not all of it.
You'll get the
rest when I get it.
You got a job?
No, no, but I'll get one.
Well, you can pay me
back when you go to work.
I wish you'd take it, Steve.
It would mean a lot to me.
Oh, I'll take it. It'll
mean just as much then.
Thanks, Steve.
Oh, Steve,
there's somebody else I need
to reach, if you could help me.
Who's that?
A girl whose life I loused
up. Her name is Mavis Tracy.
She's moved. I don't
have her new address.
- Five-0 could locate her for me.
- Mavis Tracy?
Well, I have her name
here on a piece of paper.
That's her old address.
My number is on the other side.
You can reach me there any time.
Okay, Marty.
Thanks, Steve, appreciate it.
CHIN HO: Duke.
[ENGINE STOPS]
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- My name is McGarrett. I'm looking...
- We go on a first-name basis here.
- I'm Charlie.
- Right.
Okay, Charlie, is Marty here?
Marty?
I thought you were
on a first-name basis.
- Marty Cobb.
- Last names are strictly confidential.
- Okay, pal, now, look...
- Uh, Charlie.
All right, Charlie,
my name is Steve.
I'm with Five-0, and I
don't have too much time.
You might ask our executive
secretary about Marty.
Uh, she's out in the garden.
What's her first name?
Because I don't wanna
commit any faux pas.
- Gloria.
- Gloria?
All right, Charlie, thank you.
[CROWD APPLAUDING]
Good afternoon.
My name is Gloria,
and I'm an alcoholic.
ALL [IN UNISON]: Hi, Gloria.
When I was a child,
I lived in a world where
all the seats were taken.
But I kept looking for
a group to belong to,
hoping magic would happen,
playing long shots that
couldn't possibly come in.
But I don't have to
tell you about that.
You know what it's like.
You've all been there.
We all handled it the same way.
We didn't shoot ourselves.
We did it the hard way.
[CROWD APPLAUDING]
You should have
seen me a year ago.
A wreck, 90 pounds.
- Cream and sugar? MARTY:
No, thanks, I'll take it black.
Yeah, well, you should have
seen me a year ago. Ha, ha.
- Marty. MARTY: Steve.
- Checking up on me, huh?
- Oh, no, no, just glad to see you here.
Oh, Steve, this is Gloria.
Gloria's my sponsor while I'm here.
If I have a problem or yearn
for anything stronger than coffee,
I call Gloria and
she helps me out.
- Gloria, this is Steve.
- Hello, Steve, how are you?
Gloria.
- Gee, you people work fast,
huh? GLORIA: We have to.
Our people come to
Hawaii on vacation too.
You don't have to worry
about Marty. He's gonna be fine.
Listen, I'm gonna circulate.
I'll see you a little later.
Nice meeting you.
McGARRETT: I really admire
you for coming here, Marty.
MARTY: Thanks.
McGARRETT: We checked
up on Mavis Tracy for you.
MARTY: Did you find
her? McGARRETT: Yeah.
She works as a model in
a dress shop downtown.
I have the address here.
If you'd like, I can drop
you off. I'm headed that way.
MARTY: Oh, no, that's
all right, I rented a car.
Besides, you know those
steps I was telling you about?
Don't do any good unless you got
the strength to carry them out yourself.
I understand. Stick with
it, Marty, you'll make it.
Don't worry, I will.
What's your hurry? I thought
you'd be glad to see me.
Marty, I am glad to see you.
You still don't lie
very well, Mavis.
Well, I'm on my lunch
hour. I have to hurry.
Fine, I'll go with you.
- Oh, Marty, I've got things to do.
- So do I.
You know, it took
me almost a year
to figure out you were
the one who did it.
Did what?
Marty, I didn't do anything.
That's funny.
I ran out because
I couldn't face you.
I was so ashamed.
I loved you.
And all the time, you were
the one who set me up.
No, it wasn't me.
You set yourself up.
You were the one talking about
your big police work, not me.
Where? Who heard it?
Anyone who would listen.
You were drunk.
Every place we went that night,
it was talk, big talk.
All right, I talked, but I
didn't give myself that mickey.
I was out for almost 36 hours.
Why, Mavis? Why'd you do it?
Marty, I just didn't
wanna see you get hurt.
They would have
killed you if they had to.
Who?
Who was it?
Over here.
I want that name. Who
paid you to set me up?
Nobody did, I
swear to you, Marty.
Mavis, I want that name.
I got nothing else to lose.
It was a man named
Salazar. Vic Salazar.
- Where do I find him?
- I don't know, honest.
Just a name, that's all I know.
- Nice seeing you.
- Marty, I didn't do it for money.
I was afraid, that's all.
That was enough.
Harry was the most
dependable man I ever had.
It's hard to figure that he was
the one that rigged that truck.
- But he could have.
- Oh, sure.
Any decent mechanic
can run a bypass
from the exhaust manifold
into the air-conditioning intake.
Okay, we know how the carbon
monoxide was introduced to the truck.
What we can't figure out
is why his name wasn't on the
list we checked after the robbery.
Cagle wasn't servicing
trucks at that time.
He mostly ran parts,
that kind of thing.
- But he did have access to the trucks?
- He helped out when we were short.
But I swear,
I don't remember him
being in the garage that day.
If you can think of
anything to help, let us know.
- Sure.
- Thank you.
SAKAI: This is like looking
for a weak spot at Fort Knox.
Why does it have to
be an armored car?
Because we can get
in the way Harry did.
It'll just be tougher to
find the opening, that's all.
We'd have a better chance
knocking over a bank.
- How about it, Sal, a bank?
- Hey, hey.
Just what we need,
a room with a view.
They got guards. We'll
be right in their backyard.
That's where we're gonna play.
Let's go see what's available.
Marty.
Hi, Barney.
- When did you get those stripes?
- A couple of months back.
Uh-huh. They don't care who they
make sergeant nowadays, do they?
Ha, ha. I still feel
a little like a zebra.
Mm-hm.
Come on up, I'll
buy you a cold drink.
Uh, I don't know, I...
- Come on.
- All right.
- So you made sergeant. Son
of a gun. BARNEY: Yeah, finally.
MARTY: Wow. Ha, ha.
Well, it couldn't have
happened to a better guy.
- Except me. Ha-ha-ha.
BARNEY: Ha, ha, yeah, right.
- Josh just made lieutenant.
- Hey, that's great. He's a good cop.
No better than you were.
To this day, you were
the best partner I ever had.
Well, thank you, Barney,
but I know what I was.
Alcoholism is a disease.
If I'd have recognized
the symptoms sooner,
you'd be up there
with him today.
I was your partner. I
should've seen it coming.
Look, Barney, whatever
happened, I did to myself.
Well, you look all right for it.
- Well, I think I'm dealing with it.
- I'm glad.
Hey, if there's
anything I can do...
Well, as a matter of fact,
there is. I'm looking for a guy.
A Salazar, Vic Salazar.
His sister hasn't heard
from him in over a year.
Doesn't even have
an address on him.
Motor Vehicles might have
something on the computer.
I don't want you
breaking any rules for me.
A missing person is a
missing person. Come on.
Okay.
CLERK: Vic Salazar?
Yeah, moved a couple years ago.
Well, did he leave any
forwarding address?
He didn't leave a thing, including
what he owed for the rent.
Do you know any friends
or relatives I could contact
who would know where he is now?
Only one I ever saw him
with was a girlfriend and, uh...
I think her name
was Melia. Pretty girl.
Works right up
here at a lei stand.
MARTY: You Melia?
Yes.
Salazar been around lately?
- Who wants to know?
- I do.
You a cop?
What if I was to tell
you I was a friend?
[CHUCKLES]
Then I'd say you
belong to a small club.
Hmm.
Make it twice that and
maybe I heard of him.
There's a bar called
The Blue Mirror.
You can usually find
him there around 7.
Okay.
Well, how do you
know he was a cop?
Hey, I know a cop
when I see one.
What did he look like?
Tall, haole, light brown
hair, not bad-looking.
Well, what did he
want? What did he say?
You figure it out.
I set him up so you
could get a look at him.
- That ought to be worth dinner.
- Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
The Blue Mirror, tonight, 7:00.
Did H.P.D. check for
prints in Cagle's room?
They were all Cagle's. The
guy must have lived like a hermit.
DANNY: Didn't even
have a phone, Steve.
Cooked all his
meals on a hot plate.
The landlady said he
never went out much.
Ah, just stayed there and
counted his money, huh?
He had everybody
at Flynn's fooled.
Thought he was
honest as the day is long.
Yeah, just one
minor transgression.
He rigged the car
with carbon monoxide
and killed the poor driver.
- I picked up one thing at Flynn's.
- What's that?
Cagle got a phone
call on the day he quit.
Whoever it was didn't leave his
name but was pretty anxious to find him.
To find him or the money?
Either way, they missed, didn't
they, when he ran off the road?
H.P.D. is still looking for
someone who saw the accident.
- So far no luck.
- Danno,
supposing...
Supposing it wasn't an accident.
Wouldn't it be safe to say
that someone other than
Cagle knew about the money?
You mean the guys who pulled
the armored-car job 18 months ago.
That's what I mean.
If we're in luck, they
may still be around.
Tell you what.
Check with the
maintenance chief at Flynn's.
Tell him it might be wise
for the next couple of weeks
to double-check every
truck that goes out.
Will do.
[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]
MARTY: I'm looking
for a guy named Salazar.
Know where I can find him?
Yeah, I know him. He's in
the back, making a phone call.
Thanks.
Salazar?
- Who wants him?
- Cobb, Marty Cobb.
- So?
- You don't remember me, do you?
Come on, get up. Move.
Up against the wall, come on.
[GUN CLATTERS]
All right, turn around.
A year and a half ago,
you chopped my legs off.
Now you're gonna pay the bill.
- What are you talking about?
- You had me set up.
It cost a man's
life and my career.
I've been waiting a long
time for you to surface.
Now I'm gonna
take you in myself.
Let's go, Salazar, come on.
[MARTY GRUNTING]
All right.
Who gave you my name?
Answer me. Who told you?
- I'll get it out of him for you.
- No.
Sit down.
I got a better idea.
Hey, Marty.
You want a drink?
- No.
- Huh?
No.
Ah.
Sure you do, Marty.
- Come on, Marty. Hey.
- No.
[MARTY GRUNTS]
Hold him.
[MARTY SPUTTERS]
TICE: Hey, man,
that's good booze.
With him, it's
better than a gun.
McGARRETT [WHISPERS]: My God.
[IN NORMAL VOICE] How could
anyone do that to another human?
If Marty is responsible, he
sure made amends, didn't he?
- And we told him where to find her.
- No, I told him, Danno, I told him.
- Find him and bring him in.
- Right.
I'm sorry, no visitors.
McGarrett, Hawaii
Five-0, doctor.
How bad is she?
Severe lacerations,
contusions, possible concussion.
It's bad.
Did she say who did it?
No, she's been unconscious
since she got here.
- Will she make it?
- Yes, hopefully.
But she's gonna need
some plastic surgery.
I can see that.
Here's my card.
Call me if there are
any changes, doctor.
Certainly.
Hello?
Gloria?
I slipped, Gloria.
I want a drink,
and I want it bad.
MARTY [OVER PHONE]: Come get me.
Well, tell me where you are
and I'll come get you right now.
I'm downtown somewhere.
Well, Marty.
Marty?
GLORIA [OVER PHONE]:
Marty? Marty? Marty?
I'm looking for Marty.
Have you heard from him?
Marty just called,
Steve. He's in trouble.
- You mean he's drinking again?
- Yes.
He's in more trouble than
you know. Where is he?
- I don't know.
- Gloria, this is official.
- I want his address. Where is he?
- Well, that I have.
Hey, what are you doing?
Hey, Stevey, come on.
Let's talk about Mavis
Tracy first, Marty.
- What?
- Mavis Tracy.
The girl I was stupid enough
to set up for you, remember?
Uh, she set me up. I didn't...
- Come on, give me the bottle...
- Marty, listen to me.
That poor girl is lying in a hospital
room nearly beaten to death.
Now, why did you do it?
Why did you go after her?
Marty, listen to me.
Why did you do it?
Oh, I didn't touch her,
Steve. I swear I didn't.
Come on, Marty.
Aah! All right.
Come on, sober up, pal.
[MARTY GRUNTING]
Marty.
Shake it off.
MARTY: That's
enough, that's enough.
- Okay, back to Mavis.
- I didn't see her last night.
- Why did you ask me to locate her?
- I told you why.
All right, come on, Marty.
I'm sick of this. Come
on, put some clothes on.
I'm gonna book you on a charge
of drunk and disorderly. Let's go.
Drunk, I'm not.
Well, it'll hold until
Mavis can tell us the rest.
Come on, let's go, Marty.
All right, I'll tell you.
The night before I was
to set up the roadblock,
Mavis slipped me a mickey.
She put knockout drops
in your drink? Why?
Why would she do that?
To keep me from
setting up the roadblock.
Well, how did she know about a
police roadblock in the first place?
I was drinking
earlier in the evening,
and I was blowing
off my mouth about it.
Somebody heard
me and got to her.
- Who heard you?
- Oh, forget it, it's over.
I asked you a question,
Marty. Who heard you?
Look, it's past history.
Just forget it, it's over.
I was reading this AA
pamphlet before you got here.
Talk about 12 steps.
You said you came
here for number nine.
Three lousy steps, and last
night you dove back into that jug.
- Why?
- I just lost my grip.
Yeah, and you're gonna
lose it for good, pal.
Have you read number ten?
"Continue to take
personal inventory,
and when we're wrong,
promptly admit it."
Well, you conned me once,
and you're dead wrong if you
think you're gonna do it again.
Look, I'm not conning you.
Marty, it took time to
climb out of the gutter.
You wanna slip back into it?
Go ahead, drown your sorrows.
Your choice, do it.
Here. Here, go ahead.
All right, I'll tell
you the truth.
- But it's not a very pretty story.
- I didn't think it would be.
I'm gonna need a drink first.
You don't need a drink.
You never needed a drink.
Will you pour me
another cup of coffee?
Gladly.
SALAZAR: Hey, Sakai, wake up.
I found a weak spot in
Fort Knox. Come here.
That catering truck comes by
every two hours, right on the numbers.
And when the grease
monkeys come out,
a guy could slide in there
while the door's open,
do the job, and come out before
they finish their sandwiches.
What about the guards?
Well, they didn't spot
Harry. They won't spot you.
- Me?
- Yeah, you.
[PHONE RINGS]
McGarrett.
Yes, captain.
Oh?
Did he give you a description?
[McGARRETT SIGHS]
Very well, captain, thank you.
Well, H.P.D. found someone
else who saw Harry Cagle crash.
This time the witness said that the car
following Cagle was a blue convertible.
DUKE: Eye witnesses.
One is sure it was a black sedan,
another says it was a white sports car.
Steve, I went to
the flower shop.
The girl who steered Marty to
The Blue Mirror hasn't been back.
Well, Salazar is here, and
somebody must know where he is.
Then you believe Marty?
Yeah, I do. Don't
ask me why, but I do.
- I should work on the bartender.
McGARRETT: Wait a minute, Danno.
Let's say that we could work up
an assault-and-battery
charge against Salazar.
Now, the most he could get for that
is two to three months in the state.
- If we find him. McGARRETT:
Oh, we'll find him.
And when we do, I wanna
nail him for that armored-car job,
because that's murder,
murder and grand theft.
And that's 20 years to life
for him and his partners.
That's justice. Now,
let's work on that.
Jenny?
Better put some
more on your face.
Yeah, that's better. Yeah.
Mavis?
I'm sorry.
I'd do anything I could
to make it up to you.
You don't have to do anything.
Just go away, please.
I don't wanna go away.
Mavis, I came to Hawaii
for all the wrong reasons.
- It doesn't matter.
- But it does matter.
I ran out on you once
because I was ashamed.
That's not gonna happen again.
You were ashamed?
Oh, Marty, I destroyed you.
No, you didn't.
- I did it all by myself.
- You lost everything that mattered.
Not everything.
I'll be back, take
you out of here.
Don't you ever sleep?
McGARRETT: Don't you?
I had enough coffee today
to keep me up for a week.
- Better than booze, Marty.
- Okay, rub it in.
- No, no, just a reminder.
- Hmm. Any news on Salazar?
Nothing but blind alleys so far.
I've got an idea.
Why don't you put the word
out that I'm gunning for him?
He'll come after me that way.
I can get him for you, Steve.
Thanks for the offer, Marty,
but you know I can't
let you work with us.
I don't want a
badge, just a chance.
I think you know the
answer to that too, don't you?
Yeah, I'm a drunk.
I might blow it.
I didn't say you were a drunk, Marty,
but you did, so maybe that's progress.
Now, this is Five-0's job.
We're gonna get them, and
maybe, with a little luck, soon.
So just hold the
good thought, huh?
Marty.
If you need anything,
that door is always open.
Remember that.
[DOOR CLOSES THEN
McGARRETT SIGHS]
Steve, your hunch was right.
One of the trucks was
rigged just like the first.
The maintenance chief
found it this morning.
- Did the word get
out? DANNY: No.
The chief called me right away.
But whoever did it was slick.
No one but regular personnel
was seen coming or going all day.
And this armored car was rigged
to make carbon monoxide come
out of the air conditioning system?
- Right.
- Then it's the same bunch.
McGARRETT: Probably.
But without Harry
Cagle working inside,
they can't possibly know the route
that truck would be taking or when.
So they've gotta pick it up as
soon as it leaves the garage.
How do we close them
off before they move in?
We don't.
Steve, if we trail them too long,
they might spot us and call it off.
Unless we put a
beeper in the truck
and, uh, ask for a
volunteer to drive it.
Duke, get a uniform.
[ALL LAUGH]
Now, Doc Bergman says it takes a
while for carbon monoxide to work,
so you'll have to do a
convincing acting job.
- How long should I give it?
- Well, it depends.
- When you pick them up in the...
- Mr. McGarrett?
- This man says he's on your team.
- Marty, what are you doing here?
- Hoping I could get in on the action.
- I told you last night that's impossible.
- I just wanna help, Steve.
- Help?
Marty, don't you see
you can blow this operation
if they see you here?
Now, stay out of it.
See that he stays
here until this is over.
Duke, come here.
I want you to be sure
to drive normally at first,
and then more and more erratically
until you reach the coast highway.
About this point, pull
over and play dead.
But don't open that
door till we get there.
We won't be far behind.
- Like a piece of candy?
- Sure.
- Unh.
- Hey.
[ENGINE STARTS]
- Hey.
- Marty.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
GUARD: What are you doing?
- Marty. Marty!
- We can still catch him.
- No, hold it, Danno, hold it.
If we try to stop him,
they're liable to see us.
It's his game now. Let's
just hope he plays it right.
- Looks like it's working.
- Yeah, it shouldn't be long now.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[SALAZAR GRUNTS]
[GUNSHOT]
It's a setup. Let's get
the hell out of here.
McGARRETT: Hold it.
All right, get in there.
Let me see it.
Well, you almost
blew it again, Marty.
You heard what
the lady at AA said.
Alcoholics take chances only
that there ain't a prayer of coming in.
Well, you're lucky this one did.
- Think you can walk?
- I'll try.
[MARTY GRUNTS]
Yeah, I think so.
[MARTY GRUNTS]
Well, you made nine big steps.
You should be able
to take a couple more.
Easy.
