Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 11, Episode 21 - The Year of the Horse - full transcript
As an American drug smuggler, who faces death by hanging if arrested by Singapore authorities, escapes McGarrett's grip quite literally by sliding along a tram car cable, then fleeing to one of the tiny islands that surround the main island. A Malay drug lord, stiffed by the American, wants his scalp and kidnaps his wife to force him to come out into the open. The drug lord permits McGarrett to board his boat and to take the wife (who has been forced to ingest cocaine and will soon die if she doesn't get medical help) to a hospital in return for her husband facing death by a bullet. The American agrees, but secretly instructs his goon squad to create a diversion while he pulls off the ultimate double-cross.
- You killed my daughter.
- No! Listen to me! I didn't.
You gave her drugs to carry.
He's got a knife!
He's got a knife!
- You had everything!
- You weren't there.
You didn't know what it was
like. I was sick and injured,
and there were certain things
I had to do just to survive.
These orders are specific.
We cannot proceed.
It would violate
International law.
That's sheer
nonsense, inspector.
Anybody who deals
in drugs at this level,
are mass murderers
and violate human law.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are now making
our final approach to Honolulu.
Please fasten your seat belts
and extinguish all smoking material.
The temperature in Honolulu
is 87 degrees Fahrenheit.
We hope you enjoy
your stay. Aloha.
What's wrong with her?
She's dead.
She died of massive
pulmonary arrest, Steve.
She never knew what hit her.
One plastic envelope broke open.
Eight ounces of pure heroin
blew her out like a candle.
Pure heroin? That's
a contradiction.
She was carrying
it in her stomach.
In her stomach?
Gruesome, Steve,
but not an uncommon
way to smuggle drugs.
And, as yet, impossible
for customs to detect.
Unless there's an accident,
and the packet breaks internally.
- Who was the girl?
- Terri Ramos, Indonesian passport.
Resident I.D. card, Singapore.
Airline tickets
purchased in Bangkok.
That figures, Steve.
The analysis of the
heroin found in her stomach
matches the index of junk
from one of the busiest
heroin labs in Southeast Asia.
Steve, you read the Felix
testimony before the Grand Jury.
That ties in with
what was said there.
There's definitely a
Honolulu connection
to this Southeast
Asia operation.
I know, Taaki, but I can't go along
with everything that was said there.
Yeah, well, um, I
got some things to do.
Doc,
send me a copy of the autopsy
report as soon as possible.
Right, Steve.
The Governor's name was
mentioned in that Grand Jury testimony.
I know that, Taaki. I know that.
But, I can't go along
with that theory.
I've known the governor
since I came to Hawaii.
He's an honorable,
God-fearing, man.
In no way could he
be connected with this.
It's some diabolical
plot to discredit him.
Well, the rumor alone
will hurt him badly, Steve.
Especially when her
death hits the papers.
Well, it's not gonna
hit the papers, Taaki.
Not for a while, anyway.
Take a look at that.
That's a telex I sent to Chief
Inspector Chu, in Singapore.
"Arriving Sunday, Flight 289,
to investigate possible
Honolulu connection
in the death of your
subject, Terri Ramos.
Will be traveling under
the name of Kevin Riley.
Request that you keep investigation
confidential until my arrival.
Steve McGarrett. Hawaii Five-0."
Singapore?
I'm going to Singapore, Taaki.
I'm going to Singapore, and I'm
going to find the Honolulu connection.
Flight 1 14 to Tokyo...
I talked to Chu
on the plane radio.
He's meeting me. He's
got a car waiting for you.
I'll be at the Mandarin Hotel.
- Where am I staying?
- Over at the police academy.
They want you for a series of lectures
on police work in a multiracial society.
I told them you were an expert,
Danno, so don't let me down.
- Aye-aye, Steve.
- Cheer up, Danno.
There are more than 800 women
on the Singapore Police Force.
- Welcome to Singapore.
- Thank you.
- What is the purpose of your visit?
- I'm on business.
- Welcome to Singapore.
- Thank you.
Flight 7 from Manila
is now arriving at Gate 2.
That looks familiar.
- Kevin Riley?
- Yes.
- Mister Chu?
- Inspector Chu.
Let me take your bag.
It looks better for an
arriving business man.
Oh, thank you, but carrying
my own bag has become a habit.
Like carrying your
own gun, perhaps?
Yes, I have one in
my luggage. Why?
Well then, I must
ask you to surrender it.
Aren't police officers
in Singapore armed?
Some. But, they are
Singapore officers.
Uh, inspector,
I have a feeling that you're
uptight about something.
Not at all, Mr. Riley.
It'd better be good, John. You
better get it right the first time.
You're a fool. I told you
to stay away from here.
Let's talk mule talk, John.
Now, you knew that that
girl was connected with me.
Now, why did you recruit her?
That's what I call a mistake,
John. A serious mistake.
She needed the money.
She didn't need the money. She
was General Oban's daughter.
Now you know what
that's going to mean,
if he finds out who
recruited her, don't you, John.
I need a drink.
Have they any way
of tracing her to you?
Yes, they do.
- How? May I ask?
- It's my problem.
I don't like it. I
don't like it, at all!
You don't like it?
You caused it, John!
McGARRETT: Have you held off
on your investigation of Terri Ramos?
Yes. We followed the
instructions contained in your telex.
Nobody knows she's dead.
But we have some very
alert newspaper chaps here,
so we had to proceed cautiously.
I see that the girl worked
as a nightclub singer.
Yes, at one of our
chief local clubs.
But she'd only been
here a short while.
You don't have much of a
line on her, do you, inspector?
As I said, she was new here.
And she left no trail.
But, the people who recruited her
have one deadly weapon: money.
A persevering chap in the
Drug Enforcement Agency
is likely to find a suitcase with a
bundle in the back seat of his car.
Well, a lot of good men have
succumbed to that inducement.
- Have you any leads at this end?
- We have many.
Perhaps too many.
They extend throughout
Southeast Asia.
Well, I'm interested in the
one that points to Honolulu.
Is the German
still in town, John?
Luke, you're not thinking of
another excursion, at this time?
Why not? When you make a
mistake, you correct it. Right?
I say no.
Greed and fear.
They tear you apart.
And, you're a
classic case, John.
Remember, you're just the
one who makes the phone calls.
I'm the one that
moves the goods.
And, the punishment for
that is death by hanging.
Well, John, at these prices,
I can always afford someone
else to make my calls.
I hold up my end. It's not
who dials the telephone.
It's who you get on the
other end that counts.
It's going to be a big
one, John. The jackpot.
Twenty kilos.
Well, greed or fear?
Which is it gonna be?
All right.
Contact him, and set the price.
And I don't want
any more mistakes.
Yes, sir, commander.
No. No. No. No. Cut.
Look. Boom, boom, boom!
This is love, darling.
Latin love.
You feel it in your pelvis.
All right. All right.
Let's take a break.
I'm gonna kill myself.
You'll never dance.
Your feet are too big.
You Terri Ramos' manager?
There's no such word as
"fanny" in the Chinese language.
Did you know that?
Mm-mm.
Do you wanna buy her contract?
I'd like a first class
ticket to London.
Tourist? Charter.
All right. I'll walk.
You buy the shoes.
Who are you, anyway?
The name is Riley.
Insurance.
How exciting, darling.
Well, she's due back today.
Maybe she's in her
dressing room. Let's go.
What's your, uh,
interest in Terri?
She applied for
an insurance policy.
I was just, uh,
checking her references.
References? Huh.
Well, let me refer you to that.
She can't sing,
but nobody notices.
Look at that savage
little rear end, darling.
I've never heard any
complaints about that department.
And I should know.
She's half Indonesian.
And the other half
is pure boogie, baby.
Oh, my God!
The whole act! It's ruined!
This is a catastrophe!
He's got a knife!
He's got a knife!
- Are you all right?
- Oh, yes.
He was probably after
this, the thieving lug.
She left it with
me to take care of.
- The man was looking for this?
- That's what I think, Danno.
Take a good look at it.
A class ring.
United States Naval
Academy, 1963.
That's right. Read
the inscription inside.
There are no initials
which is unusual.
Looks like they
might've been filed off.
Maybe we can
bring them up again.
Have them take a look at it
in the Singapore police lab.
Sure. It's a long shot.
Yes, but how many U.S. Naval
Academy rings are there in Singapore?
When our lab irradiated the
surface with infra-red light,
they got variable reflectivity between
the washed and unwashed surfaces.
This is a computer enhanced
resolution emphasizing the variability.
We should telex
your FBI immediately
and request the identity
and whereabouts of this man.
I'll telephone Honolulu.
Five-O can contact the
Defense Department direct.
Be quicker that way.
L.P.S., U.S. Naval
Academy, class of '63.
It shouldn't be too difficult.
1602. Mr. Riley, please.
- Hello.
- Ah, Mr. Riley, I am General Oban.
I understand that you are
in the insurance business.
There is some matter
we should discuss.
May I wait for you
at the Clipper Bar?
Very well. I'll be right down.
Going down?
Just waiting, thank you.
Williams.
Call the bell captain here,
and have me paged
at exactly, uh, 7:15.
- Right, Steve.
- Right.
- General Oban?
- Oh, Mr. Riley.
- How do you do? Sit. Please?
- Thank you.
- And, uh, my card.
- Thank you.
"Universal Commercial
Operations International Limited."
Very impressive.
What can I do for you?
To begin, will you share
with me this champagne?
In a period of
diminishing returns,
an investment insensibility
is always appropriate.
- You agree?
- No, thank you.
I don't share your enthusiasm
for champagne, general.
What else don't we share.
You have been making
inquiries about my daughter.
- Why?
- Your daughter?
I don't understand.
Mr. Riley, you and I
should not play games.
You are here to investigate
her death, are you not?
- Are you referring to Terri Ramos?
- I am. Yes.
And she's your daughter?
I don't wish to
encourage, in others,
the belief that what is mine
may be handled carelessly,
and then disposed of.
That would be very dangerous
for a man of my position.
What position is that, general?
Let me say, only,
that what I have,
I have a compulsion to protect.
And don't we all.
Oh, if you'll excuse me,
I seem to have a call.
Page, I'll take that.
What are you doing here?
If it's a gold
ring you're after,
you tell the man that
sent you to call me.
And tell him that
the price just went up
to 25,000 American.
Now, get out of here.
Who is it? OBAN: General Oban.
I wish to pursue
our conversation.
Thank you.
This young lady is Miko,
my personal secretary.
- She tells me you have already met.
- Yes.
And is searching rooms
part of your secretarial skills?
I suggested that.
Please, forgive.
She search only for
information as to who you are.
And the man who just tried to
kill me, did you also send him?
Ha, ha, my dear fellow,
if that day should ever
come, my efforts, believe me,
would not be so clumsy.
Let's hope that your efforts
will never be tested, general.
The intruder was waiting
here for you when I came in.
He compelled me to stay.
Oh, he compelled you, did he?
Mr. Riley, I don't know
who you really are.
But I came to offer you my
help in any way that I can.
Help me? Help me do what?
Find the man who
killed my daughter.
The man who used
her to carry heroin.
In return, I can insure you
against such, uh, ha, ha, unpleasant
incidents as happened tonight.
I appreciate your
interest, general.
But I have a feeling
that your, uh, insurance
comes a bit too high for me.
Very well.
Now, if you'll excuse
me, it's been a long day.
Good night.
Miko, my love,
will you get the lift?
Mr. Riley,
I have the feeling that
you are a dedicated hunter.
Good hunting.
General.
- One question, if you don't mind.
- Yes, of course.
How did you learn of the
death of your daughter?
Is it not most natural that a father
will be the first to learn of such tragedy?
The tragedy is that
she died needlessly,
with a massive overdose
of heroin at age 23.
Yes.
And for that, someone will pay.
Thank you.
You silly little man.
A dancer who treads
on his own feet.
Why didn't you tell me that
was General Oban's daughter?
I didn't know,
John. I didn't know.
Has anyone talked to you
about her or asked any questions?
Just one man. An American.
What's his name, and
what's he look like?
Kevin Riley.
Stocky, about two
meters, uh... Oh.
Fourteen stone, 40, 42.
He said he was
an insurance bloke.
Did you mention my
name to him? Or anyone?
No, John.
- No, and I won't.
- I know that, Jonas.
What did you get?
This is what you've
been waiting for.
Good.
"Sandover, Lucas P.
0437659.
Graduated U.S. Naval
Academy, 5 June 1963.
Commissioned ensign, same date.
Commander Sandover
reported missing in
action, presumed dead,
over Northern Laos,
17th December, 1969.
Survived by Dolores
Kent Sandover, widow.
Photo follows."
- He's been dead for nine years.
- A ghost, with a ring.
Room 1703.
We hope you enjoy
your stay, madame.
Thank you.
In what room is Mr. Steve
McGarrett registered in, please?
Sorry. We have no
Mr. McGarrett registered here.
My mistake. Sorry.
You're late.
- How far are you?
- This one makes 12.
- You do?
- Yeah.
We have to clean filtering
tanks and run this through again.
We are picking up too many
unconverted morphine salts.
Leave it with her. I
need you in Singapore.
We'll finish tonight.
The pig's coming in.
I brought you a copy of
the telex. You want to see it?
McGARRETT: No.
Dan Williams told me
the details on the phone.
It appears that Sandover has
been dead nine years, huh?
But there's still someone in Singapore
who wants his ring desperately.
- Have you picked up Jonas yet?
- Yes.
The CID picked him out of
the Wayan River this morning.
Poor little guy. I wonder why.
Well, perhaps he
was part of the puzzle.
Yeah, possibly.
Tell me what you know
about this General Oban.
Many irons in the
fire. Many fires.
He's a very influential man.
Do you think he could
have killed Jonas?
I doubt it.
When the general
has someone removed,
there are no awkward
things left behind.
Like bodies.
You don't think the general
believed your cover story, do you?
I don't know. But he sure
knew Terri Ramos was dead,
and I'd like to know how.
On what flight
did you arrive, sir?
Flight 27 from Hong Kong.
What is the purpose of
your visit to Singapore?
Pleasure.
- Welcome to Singapore.
- Yeah.
Hello, Mr. McGarrett.
May I buy you a drink?
I'm sorry, you have the wrong
person. My name is Riley.
Kevin Riley. DOLORES: Is it?
Well, Mr. Riley, maybe
it was Steve McGarrett
before you changed it?
In which case, I'll
buy you both a drink.
Very well.
Who are you and
what do you want?
I'm Dolores Sandover.
Luke Sandover's wife.
I believe my
husband is still alive.
One of my friends from the
Pentagon alerted me that Hawaii Five-0
had made an inquiry about
a Naval Academy class ring.
It was Luke's.
Class ring? Hawaii Five-0?
I don't understand what this is all
about. Would you kindly explain?
Oh, come on, Mr. McGarrett.
My father is Admiral Arnold
Kent, stationed at Pearl.
I believe you know each other.
Could I see your
passport, please?
- My passport?
- Your passport.
I'd like to see if you are
related to Admiral Kent.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Once the Navy
labels someone dead,
it's so hard to get anyone
to believe otherwise.
I guess I push too hard
when it comes to Luke.
I know it. But I can't
seem to help myself.
What makes you think that
your husband is still alive?
Well, he was on a
reconnaissance flight over Laos.
The plane was shot down.
They found the observer's body,
but they never found Luke.
But that was over
nine years ago.
If he is alive, why
doesn't he come back?
There could be many reasons.
It was a secret war in Laos.
He could still be held captive,
he could be badly injured.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I've said it so often, I sound like
a broken record, even to myself.
But it's just I can't give up.
I know he's still
alive. I feel it.
You know, sometimes, I
can almost hear his voice. I...
Sit down, please.
Have you ever been
convinced that something is true,
even though all the evidence
pointed to the contrary?
Yes, I have.
Excuse me a moment, please.
May I bring you a drink?
- What would you like?
- Oh, I'd love a vodka tonic.
One vodka tonic
for the lady, please.
Mrs. Sandover, most
women in your situation
would have given
up after nine years.
Possibly married again.
Especially since the Navy declared
him legally dead. Why haven't you?
I've had other
men, Mr. McGarrett.
I'm not pristine.
But I'm still married to Luke.
You can't kill what I feel here.
The Navy can't label
love legally dead.
There's a phone
call for you, Mr. Riley.
- Oh, thank you.
- This way, please.
Will you excuse me?
Hello? LEE: Mr. Riley?
Yeah.
We are prepared to buy an
insurance policy from you for $25,000.
It will be paid to you in small
bills tomorrow morning at 8:00.
You will be called
15 minutes before 8.
Please bring the
object in question.
Who the hell is this?
Say yes if you understand.
Yes. Of course. But I wanna know
who I'm dealing with, pal. Who is this?
Mrs. Sandover, I, uh...
I'd be glad to help
you in any way I can.
But I must warn you that
if your husband is alive,
he may be engaged in
some very serious and ugly
criminal operation.
And if I find him,
he may spend the rest of
his life in Leavenworth Prison.
There must be some explanation.
Well, for your
sake, I hope there is.
Will you excuse me?
Hi.
Mr. Ho. This is Ong Lee.
Yes.
I arrived safely.
I await your call to
test the merchandise.
Good. You wait there.
We'll pick you up.
McGARRETT: Uh, good morning.
I've been waiting for you.
- I wanted to continue our discussion.
- I'm sorry.
I'm in a hurry right
now. Later, perhaps.
Mr. McGarrett,
there are two ways to play this:
pleasantly or unpleasantly.
When it comes to finding my
husband, you must include me.
If you don't take me with you, I'll
tell the world who Kevin Riley really is.
Dear lady, if you do know me,
you should know better
than to threaten me. Ever.
Excuse me.
Learn anything yet?
Yeah. The caller said to be at
Mount Faber, alone, in ten minutes.
I need a taxi. A taxi.
I am a snake charmer.
This snake, no poison.
This one no teeth.
This one harmless, sir.
Okay, beat it, pal.
I don't dig snakes.
If you have the ring,
hold it in your right hand.
- Who are you?
- The caller.
What was the first thing I
said to you on the phone?
"Who the hell is this?"
McGARRETT: There it is.
Hmm.
All right.
We will both go
across on the cable.
Get in line for your ticket.
I'll be right behind you.
Correction. You'll
be right ahead of me.
Luke! Luke!
Luke! Luke!
Luke!
Get him!
Let me in. Police.
Yeah. Except for a few
bruises, I'm all right, inspector.
Yeah.
I'm on the Sentosa side.
Right.
Danno. I'm in here.
Right.
Yes, I'll be back.
Steve, For a minute, I thought you
were gonna slide down after him.
No. That's a... I wonder
where he learned that one.
Anyway, we got one.
We got the bag man.
Look, I have not
committed a crime.
I wish to be released.
- I wanna see a doctor.
- You will see a doctor
when you need one.
I want answers
to some questions.
Where did you get
the U.S. currency?
I don't know.
Someone gave me
$20 to sit in the park,
and give the briefcase
to the right man.
Oh, sure.
Sure. I talked to you three
times on the phone yesterday,
setting this up.
I recognize your
voice. Now you're lying!
Who was the man you were with?
Who was the man you were with?
Take him to detention.
Maybe a little confinement
will jog his memory.
- He won't talk. Bet on it.
- Maybe.
What do you think happened to
him when he got to the other side?
There are islands
in every direction.
But my guess is, he's got
a kampong somewhere.
It looks like he's
off and running.
If the risk he
took was any sign,
he's gonna move
fast and get out.
At least we know who he
is now. We've seen him.
And we might have had him,
if it wasn't for Mrs. Sandover.
Don't forget, if it weren't for the
lady, we wouldn't know who he is.
You think he saw her, Steve?
No question, Danno. I think
he may wanna see her again.
I've got her
switchboard monitored.
Inspector, uh,
if I may suggest, uh,
I'd place a light protective
custody around the lady.
That way, if she tries to give
us the slip, uh, we'll be ready.
Thank you for your
suggestion, Mr. McGarrett.
We continue to benefit
from your experience.
You're a foul
weather bird, John.
Are you all right?
I feel like I went 20 with
Ali, in his prime. Aah!
Nothing broken, I hope.
Just my spirit, John. My spirit.
They've got one of my men.
What? Will he talk?
How the hell do I know?
Would you, John?
Would I?
I might, John.
I'm sure you would.
Perhaps.
What's our next move?
My wife was there. She saw me.
I think it's time to get out.
You said one more
time. The big one.
It's all moving. The German's
there with U.S. green.
You've gotta see it through.
I see greed's taken over, John.
Whatever happened to fear?
I've always wanted
to be a wealthy man.
You know what wealth is?
The money your money earns
while you're doing something else.
That's what we're gonna
be, Luke, after this is over.
All right, John, all right.
But fast.
We move the goods
tomorrow, or not at all.
Understand?
Tomorrow is the last day.
The guinea pig is here.
And the German's standing by.
Just give me a little bit
of leaving time if you can.
I'll let you know
where and when.
You understand, if
Luke calls, I'm going.
I hope your friend
won't be in my way.
Your husband's a desperate
man, Mrs. Sandover.
You realize that he
can be dangerous.
You don't know that.
Until yesterday morning, you
didn't even know he was alive.
Yeah, well, I know it now. And
I'll tell you something else I know.
The penalty in Singapore
for what he's involved in
is death by hanging.
Page. I'm Mrs. Sandover.
- Telephone call for you.
- Thank you.
If he's calling, tell him to
turn himself into the police.
So he can be hanged?
No, no. Not if he surrenders
himself to American jurisdiction.
He'll get a fair trial.
And life in prison.
Would you prefer
death by hanging?
Hello. I'm Dolores Sandover.
- Do you have a call for me?
- There's no time to talk.
Now, immediately, hang up, and
walk to the rear entrance of the hotel.
There's a car waiting for you.
Do it.
Wait a minute!
What are you doing?
Target has switched
to white sedan.
Headed north on Marcross Road.
License number SD1947A.
Should be able to
spot them from B Z.
He's heading north.
Don't let them get too close.
If we scare them,
we've got to take them.
Nine years I haven't seen you.
- Is that all you can say?
- This isn't a conversation.
I need an answer.
In Asia looking for you
and I can't believe
I finally found you.
Luke, let me look at you.
Luke.
Luke.
Look at me. What's
wrong with you?
Luke!
Why did you let her go?
I made Mrs. Sandover an offer,
that if he turns himself
over to U.S. custody.
You what?
Stella Net, this is Nancy Z ed.
Primary is now moving
towards target at Victor Z ed.
I told her, if Sandover helps
us get the rest, you get them.
The U.S. government gets him.
That's a fair trade, isn't it, inspector?
Uh-huh. And you get
the Honolulu connection.
That's right. That's what
I'm here for, inspector.
Come on. Let's go.
Stella Net, this is dispatch.
We need some bodies
on the ground at Victor Zed.
They're looking for you.
- You can't hide forever.
- What do they know about me?
They know what you're
doing, who you are,
- and what you look like.
- Yeah. Thanks to you.
What did you expect
me to do when I saw you?
Yeah. Sorry.
That's his car.
Well, I doubt if
he'll come back to it.
Who's the American? A cop?
Yes. His name's Steve McGarrett.
He wants to help you, Luke.
He says if you turn yourself
over to American jurisdiction,
they won't hang you.
Yeah, 20 years in Leavenworth
at hard labor, I'd rather hang.
What happened to you?
Your life! Your career!
You had everything!
You didn't know
what it was like.
I was injured and there
were certain things I had to do,
just to survive.
I got in deep. I got in so deep,
I couldn't get out.
And I was ashamed.
I couldn't face
you or your father.
That's a lie.
I didn't wanna come back.
I hated the whole damn system
that put me there in the first place.
All right.
But what about us now?
Well, that's up to you.
I've had it. I'm getting out.
You can come
with me if you want.
- Can I?
- Yeah.
They're looking for you, Luke.
- You're wanted.
- Wanting isn't getting.
With a couple of million dollars
and a talent for getting lost,
they'll never find me.
Never. I guarantee it.
I know some places the
natives don't even know about.
Come with me.
What about the $2
million worth of dope?
Listen, if I don't sell
it, somebody else will.
We've saturated the area
with, uh, plain-clothed officers.
What a strange place to come to.
I don't see how we can
avoid picking him up.
Not if I know him, Danno.
I'll be right back.
Let's see the map, Danno.
This looks like the
closest border, due west.
I figured he'd
stay close to water.
- The Kranji River.
- Yeah.
Maybe we can get between
him and the Mandai Village, here.
I wonder how Sandover
will try to get out of the area.
How would an Annapolis
graduate do it, Danno?
Let McGarrett help you, Luke.
Please?
Please.
Let him help us, Luke.
All right.
You talk to the American cop,
if he's got anything
reasonable to say, I'll listen.
- You mean it.
- Of course, I do.
I need you.
Oh, I love you.
My men just picked up Mrs.
Sandover at the white car.
Mrs. Sandover?
What about Sandover?
He either eluded
us or he's still here.
Perhaps Mrs. Sandover
will shed some light.
I doubt it. But I think you
and Danno should try anyway.
Make sure she's
protected, inspector.
- What do you intend to do?
- Find him, if I can.
If you find him here, you
have no authority to take him.
If I find him, we'll
discuss the legalities later.
He's gonna recognize
you pretty quick, Steve.
Maybe. Maybe not, Danno.
Time to go. Very quickly.
You must lead me.
No one is there.
Caucasian man, with
a hat. Where did he go?
The prayer of
seven contentments.
He forgot his sacred text.
A broken-down Hong Kong
Chinese in $3 hotel room.
Is this a big
narcotics operation?
Maybe we're moving
in the wrong direction.
No.
This is their guinea pig.
The man who tests
the quality of their goods
before they take delivery.
He's probably a long-time
addict from Hong Kong.
Let's put this place
under surveillance.
I see that he hasn't
finished his prayers.
This stuff is 80 plus.
You stepped on it once. That
makes it about 40 plus now.
That's pretty high.
I don't want any accidents.
No, no, no.
No accidents are possible.
This is the year of the horse.
You see.
From the Krangi
inlet, over there,
a fast boat is only five
minutes from sanctuary
across the straits in Johore.
Within minutes, you're at the
closest international waters.
Well, he's out there somewhere.
Every time he runs,
he runs to the sea.
And they'll have fast
boats. You can bet on that.
Their pattern is to buy the
latest engines and soup them up.
Quite right.
Very fast. Very fast.
It's just like catching
tadpoles with your hands.
Maybe you catch nothing.
So the bottom line is, if
we're gonna catch them,
we have to match
them on the water, huh?
Correct.
And my chaps are always
delighted to test their skills.
- How fast do these police boats go?
- Oh, about 18 knots.
- That's fast enough.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
- Hello?
- John, is your man there?
Yeah. What about Ho?
Yeah, I got him here. Put
your man on the blower.
Come on. Come on.
Very strong surge on the needle.
Good peak.
Very fine finish.
Small even crystal.
Take the cut well.
Appears stable.
No condensation or granulation.
I sampled three
out of the 20 kilos.
Hello?
You got it. On a scale of
one to ten, he says it's a 20.
Now come on, is it a go? I
can't hang in here forever.
- Yeah.
- It's a go.
All right. We'll be on schedule.
Just make sure you're there.
Small bills. Only U.S.
No Yen, no Marks,
no Swiss Franks.
You got it.
Take him back to the
hotel and dump him.
Better get an
ambulance for this one.
- Get into my car.
- No.
Do as I tell you.
- Why? What have I done?
- You killed my daughter.
- No! Listen to me! I didn't!
- You gave her drugs to carry.
No, listen to me,
general. I swear.
I swear, it was my partner.
I had nothing to do with it.
I warned him. I told him
to keep away from her.
It was Luke Sandover.
The respiratory stimulants
have done the job.
You can talk to
him now, inspector.
Thank you.
You're a long way
from home, Mr. Ho.
I want to ask you
some questions.
Where did you go
to get the last fix?
Thirsty bee, tell the humming
bird where the nectar is.
No.
But if the bee doesn't tell
me where he got the last fix,
there won't be any more nectar.
We were on a ship.
That's all I know. I'm blind.
Uh, inspector, excuse
me a moment, please.
Mr. Ho,
you can't see, but
you have other senses,
perhaps more acute
than those who can see.
Tell me about the
ship you were on.
You are American.
Yes, I am.
It smelled bad.
Rust.
The smell of rust
and stale curry.
The smell of rust and stale curry
could be every ship east of Suez.
How long were you
on the small boat
that took you out
to the large ship?
Three hundred and fifty cycles.
Cycles of what?
I breathe 900 cycles per hour.
That's strange. Why do
you count your breaths?
It's a way to tell the distance
when one cannot see.
I see.
Thank you. Just a minute.
Nine hundred cycles.
Nine hundred cycles.
Nine hundred cycles.
Sixty minutes in an hour,
that would be 15
cycles every minute.
Um, in what direction
were you going Mr. Ho?
Could you tell? Was the sun up?
Uh, did the sun hit you
on the face or on the back?
I looked at the
direction of the sun, yes.
I balance the warmth on my face.
The boat runs off
to the south, a little.
Not much at first,
but always more and more.
Let's see. West, southwest,
veering a little to southwest.
But at what speed?
At maximum speed for
any boats around here.
Perhaps, 30 knots.
Let's take a look at the chart.
They're coming, Selah.
The goods are ready
for them, brother.
We'll put the goods in number
two, but we'll keep it on the water.
If they try anything stupid,
we'll have the jump on them.
Just you and two of
the guys, and the goods.
- Fine?
- Fine.
And if I run away, where
will you be, brother?
Swimming in the bloody
ocean after you, brother.
Let me see your
smiling face, John.
I'm here, Luke.
Slowly. Come in very slowly.
They land you, only
you, and then back off.
Have you no faith
in your fellow men?
None whatever.
I said, back off.
We'll unload the goods
first, and then we'll celebrate.
I have a bottle of something
special, just for you.
And I got something
special just for you, Luke.
Yes, you have. You
most certainly have.
Let them sit out there and wait,
while you and I have a real count out.
Just like the old paydays.
If Alexander had your
leadership qualities,
he might have made
something of himself.
When it comes to
counting out money, John,
I don't need outside help.
Well, the buyer's associate
wants to come over
and check the
goods. Have a drink.
The goods are out there in the boat.
They can check it all from out there
and then leave.
You and I will do
all the drinking.
Your new found caution
is commendable, Luke.
It's gonna take a
bit of getting used to.
Keep smiling. You're gonna walk
me down to the boat with the cases.
No, John. Not you. You're
not the double-crossing type.
Circumstances change, Luke.
Pick up the cases
and start walking.
It's not gonna work, John.
These boys will kill us both.
No, they won't. They'll
do what you say to do.
Tell them to go
about their business.
Do it or I'll kill you right
here and take my chances.
Don't forget. I
understand Malay.
All right. You go first.
Tell your men to
get out of the boat.
Okay. When we get down to
the bottom, you stand quietly.
I know what's
bothering you, John.
The police are getting close. You think,
if they got me, they're gonna get you.
Relax, John. Trust me.
Back off now, while
there's still a chance.
This is gonna be the last
haul, anyway. You know that.
Tell them it's all right.
Get in the boat.
Get in the boat.
Tell him to let the rope go.
Okay, Luke. Keep
smiling, and full ahead.
You made a much better friend than
you made an enemy, brother John.
Yes, sir.
These are the
territorial waters.
These are international waters.
This is the line of demarcation.
We can enter and leave the
international zone as we please.
But we cannot
engage in any action
once we are out of
Singapore territorial waters.
Are you all right?
Are you all harmed?
I'm all right. The Malayan
police must be on the way.
They must've heard the
shots. Take four guys per boat.
Lead the rest to the fishing
party. And no weapons.
Let's get out of here
and head for the freighter.
Take a look, Danno.
- That look familiar?
- Yeah.
Come on. Hard right.
My God, it's Sandover.
If he gets out much further,
he'll be in international waters.
- You cannot touch him.
- Maybe.
Fire at the water line.
Ready to cut engines.
They're in international
waters. I'm sorry. They've won.
You're sorry? We've got
to take them, inspector.
- Don't you understand that?
- No. Absolutely not.
Captain, I'd like
a word with you.
- I insist that you pursue that boat.
- Mr. McGarrett. Mr. McGarrett!
These orders are specific.
We cannot proceed.
It would violate
international law.
That's sheer
nonsense, inspector.
Anybody who deals
in drugs at this level
are mass murderers
and violate human law.
I realize that, Mr. McGarrett.
Now, the best we can do
is pick up the other boat.
Well, that's not
the best I can do.
There's no sign of
anyone. What do you think?
Plenty money now.
They all go celebrate.
All right. Take us in.
Welcome aboard,
Mr. Sandover. Ah...
That would be your second error.
Equal in severity and
stupidity to your first.
I don't know what you're
talking about or who you are.
I think otherwise,
Sandover. Bring her!
The eight ounces of heroin
that you used to kill my daughter,
now are your wife's portion.
She has five ounces
left to consume.
What do you want?
Money? How much?
Only you, Sandover.
You will surrender
yourself to me.
And I will allow
your wife to go.
Otherwise, she will be
fed the remaining portion.
I allow you five minutes
to consider this matter.
And I remind you, you have
a choice where I had none.
- Our brothers arrive. They escaped.
- I don't think so.
- You're the American, huh?
- Yeah.
And you're the Annapolis
graduate, hey, commander?
Mr. McGarrett,
your presence here
was not expected,
but you stand next to the
man who killed my daughter.
If you can persuade him
to surrender himself to me,
I will allow his wife
to go free. And you.
The Singapore Police
are on the way, general.
You better let me handle this.
Ah, Mr. McGarrett. We
are in international waters.
You know that.
Sandover, two minutes.
Surrender yourself to
me, you'll get a fair trial.
Maybe Oban will settle for that.
You don't really believe
that, do you, McGarrett?
You wanna live?
I'll live. You can bet on it.
And you're gonna leave
your wife here with him?
He won't kill her, McGarrett.
It's my blood he wants.
Yeah, that's obvious.
General. Hold your fire,
I'm coming up. I'm unarmed.
Is there a way out?
Yeah, if I can kill the general
and McGarrett, there is.
General. OBAN: McGarrett.
And stop there.
Loe.
I've come for Mrs. Sandover.
And you may have her.
After her husband surrenders
himself to me. Not before.
I'm taking her with me.
She's an American citizen.
You have no right to hold her.
McGarrett,
killing you is not
of interest to me.
I'm interested only in avenging
the murder of my daughter.
Then you should use the
gun on yourself, general.
You killed your daughter.
She was carrying your heroin.
- That's how you knew of her death.
- You lie.
You're the Honolulu connection.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be
here now. And neither would this.
- You lie.
- I'm taking her.
There's no more time
for you or Sandover.
Lie down on the deck.
Lie down on the deck.
You want to die now?
All right, general,
I'm coming up.
Unarmed.
You look amused, general.
Sandover's reaction
vindicates my judgment of him.
It would appear he places
some value on his wife's life.
Don't count on it,
general. Don't count on it.
- May I?
- Yes. Of course.
Now both hands
on top of your head.
You win,
McGarrett.
No. No.
You lose,
commander. You lose.
We were stopped down below,
Steve, waiting to see who won up here.
Just death up here, Danno.
They killed each
other. Ironic, isn't it?
They inflicted a hell of a lot of
pain between them before they died.
I wonder how much good all their
dirty money's gonna do them now.
Yeah.
Yeah, I wonder.
He was thinking only of himself,
even at the last, wasn't he?
Yeah, I'm afraid so.
Can you live with that?
I can live with the truth.
Flight 1 to Hong Kong
is now boarding at Gate 7.
Thank you.
You've been so very
good to me, Mr. McGarrett.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, pretty lady.
I hope the pain in
here will ease for you.
It already has.
- At least the search is over.
- Yeah.
That's the nicest thing that's
happened to me in Singapore.
Mrs. Sandover, your
flight's boarding now.
All right.
Goodbye.
When do you fly out?
Oh... Tonight, I guess.
I've got to testify before the
Grand Jury in Honolulu, on Monday.
Why don't you come
visit us, inspector?
Eddie. Call me Eddie.
Okay, Eddie.
It's a good idea.
I need a vacation.
That's your cover.
But why are you really
coming to Honolulu?
- No! Listen to me! I didn't.
You gave her drugs to carry.
He's got a knife!
He's got a knife!
- You had everything!
- You weren't there.
You didn't know what it was
like. I was sick and injured,
and there were certain things
I had to do just to survive.
These orders are specific.
We cannot proceed.
It would violate
International law.
That's sheer
nonsense, inspector.
Anybody who deals
in drugs at this level,
are mass murderers
and violate human law.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are now making
our final approach to Honolulu.
Please fasten your seat belts
and extinguish all smoking material.
The temperature in Honolulu
is 87 degrees Fahrenheit.
We hope you enjoy
your stay. Aloha.
What's wrong with her?
She's dead.
She died of massive
pulmonary arrest, Steve.
She never knew what hit her.
One plastic envelope broke open.
Eight ounces of pure heroin
blew her out like a candle.
Pure heroin? That's
a contradiction.
She was carrying
it in her stomach.
In her stomach?
Gruesome, Steve,
but not an uncommon
way to smuggle drugs.
And, as yet, impossible
for customs to detect.
Unless there's an accident,
and the packet breaks internally.
- Who was the girl?
- Terri Ramos, Indonesian passport.
Resident I.D. card, Singapore.
Airline tickets
purchased in Bangkok.
That figures, Steve.
The analysis of the
heroin found in her stomach
matches the index of junk
from one of the busiest
heroin labs in Southeast Asia.
Steve, you read the Felix
testimony before the Grand Jury.
That ties in with
what was said there.
There's definitely a
Honolulu connection
to this Southeast
Asia operation.
I know, Taaki, but I can't go along
with everything that was said there.
Yeah, well, um, I
got some things to do.
Doc,
send me a copy of the autopsy
report as soon as possible.
Right, Steve.
The Governor's name was
mentioned in that Grand Jury testimony.
I know that, Taaki. I know that.
But, I can't go along
with that theory.
I've known the governor
since I came to Hawaii.
He's an honorable,
God-fearing, man.
In no way could he
be connected with this.
It's some diabolical
plot to discredit him.
Well, the rumor alone
will hurt him badly, Steve.
Especially when her
death hits the papers.
Well, it's not gonna
hit the papers, Taaki.
Not for a while, anyway.
Take a look at that.
That's a telex I sent to Chief
Inspector Chu, in Singapore.
"Arriving Sunday, Flight 289,
to investigate possible
Honolulu connection
in the death of your
subject, Terri Ramos.
Will be traveling under
the name of Kevin Riley.
Request that you keep investigation
confidential until my arrival.
Steve McGarrett. Hawaii Five-0."
Singapore?
I'm going to Singapore, Taaki.
I'm going to Singapore, and I'm
going to find the Honolulu connection.
Flight 1 14 to Tokyo...
I talked to Chu
on the plane radio.
He's meeting me. He's
got a car waiting for you.
I'll be at the Mandarin Hotel.
- Where am I staying?
- Over at the police academy.
They want you for a series of lectures
on police work in a multiracial society.
I told them you were an expert,
Danno, so don't let me down.
- Aye-aye, Steve.
- Cheer up, Danno.
There are more than 800 women
on the Singapore Police Force.
- Welcome to Singapore.
- Thank you.
- What is the purpose of your visit?
- I'm on business.
- Welcome to Singapore.
- Thank you.
Flight 7 from Manila
is now arriving at Gate 2.
That looks familiar.
- Kevin Riley?
- Yes.
- Mister Chu?
- Inspector Chu.
Let me take your bag.
It looks better for an
arriving business man.
Oh, thank you, but carrying
my own bag has become a habit.
Like carrying your
own gun, perhaps?
Yes, I have one in
my luggage. Why?
Well then, I must
ask you to surrender it.
Aren't police officers
in Singapore armed?
Some. But, they are
Singapore officers.
Uh, inspector,
I have a feeling that you're
uptight about something.
Not at all, Mr. Riley.
It'd better be good, John. You
better get it right the first time.
You're a fool. I told you
to stay away from here.
Let's talk mule talk, John.
Now, you knew that that
girl was connected with me.
Now, why did you recruit her?
That's what I call a mistake,
John. A serious mistake.
She needed the money.
She didn't need the money. She
was General Oban's daughter.
Now you know what
that's going to mean,
if he finds out who
recruited her, don't you, John.
I need a drink.
Have they any way
of tracing her to you?
Yes, they do.
- How? May I ask?
- It's my problem.
I don't like it. I
don't like it, at all!
You don't like it?
You caused it, John!
McGARRETT: Have you held off
on your investigation of Terri Ramos?
Yes. We followed the
instructions contained in your telex.
Nobody knows she's dead.
But we have some very
alert newspaper chaps here,
so we had to proceed cautiously.
I see that the girl worked
as a nightclub singer.
Yes, at one of our
chief local clubs.
But she'd only been
here a short while.
You don't have much of a
line on her, do you, inspector?
As I said, she was new here.
And she left no trail.
But, the people who recruited her
have one deadly weapon: money.
A persevering chap in the
Drug Enforcement Agency
is likely to find a suitcase with a
bundle in the back seat of his car.
Well, a lot of good men have
succumbed to that inducement.
- Have you any leads at this end?
- We have many.
Perhaps too many.
They extend throughout
Southeast Asia.
Well, I'm interested in the
one that points to Honolulu.
Is the German
still in town, John?
Luke, you're not thinking of
another excursion, at this time?
Why not? When you make a
mistake, you correct it. Right?
I say no.
Greed and fear.
They tear you apart.
And, you're a
classic case, John.
Remember, you're just the
one who makes the phone calls.
I'm the one that
moves the goods.
And, the punishment for
that is death by hanging.
Well, John, at these prices,
I can always afford someone
else to make my calls.
I hold up my end. It's not
who dials the telephone.
It's who you get on the
other end that counts.
It's going to be a big
one, John. The jackpot.
Twenty kilos.
Well, greed or fear?
Which is it gonna be?
All right.
Contact him, and set the price.
And I don't want
any more mistakes.
Yes, sir, commander.
No. No. No. No. Cut.
Look. Boom, boom, boom!
This is love, darling.
Latin love.
You feel it in your pelvis.
All right. All right.
Let's take a break.
I'm gonna kill myself.
You'll never dance.
Your feet are too big.
You Terri Ramos' manager?
There's no such word as
"fanny" in the Chinese language.
Did you know that?
Mm-mm.
Do you wanna buy her contract?
I'd like a first class
ticket to London.
Tourist? Charter.
All right. I'll walk.
You buy the shoes.
Who are you, anyway?
The name is Riley.
Insurance.
How exciting, darling.
Well, she's due back today.
Maybe she's in her
dressing room. Let's go.
What's your, uh,
interest in Terri?
She applied for
an insurance policy.
I was just, uh,
checking her references.
References? Huh.
Well, let me refer you to that.
She can't sing,
but nobody notices.
Look at that savage
little rear end, darling.
I've never heard any
complaints about that department.
And I should know.
She's half Indonesian.
And the other half
is pure boogie, baby.
Oh, my God!
The whole act! It's ruined!
This is a catastrophe!
He's got a knife!
He's got a knife!
- Are you all right?
- Oh, yes.
He was probably after
this, the thieving lug.
She left it with
me to take care of.
- The man was looking for this?
- That's what I think, Danno.
Take a good look at it.
A class ring.
United States Naval
Academy, 1963.
That's right. Read
the inscription inside.
There are no initials
which is unusual.
Looks like they
might've been filed off.
Maybe we can
bring them up again.
Have them take a look at it
in the Singapore police lab.
Sure. It's a long shot.
Yes, but how many U.S. Naval
Academy rings are there in Singapore?
When our lab irradiated the
surface with infra-red light,
they got variable reflectivity between
the washed and unwashed surfaces.
This is a computer enhanced
resolution emphasizing the variability.
We should telex
your FBI immediately
and request the identity
and whereabouts of this man.
I'll telephone Honolulu.
Five-O can contact the
Defense Department direct.
Be quicker that way.
L.P.S., U.S. Naval
Academy, class of '63.
It shouldn't be too difficult.
1602. Mr. Riley, please.
- Hello.
- Ah, Mr. Riley, I am General Oban.
I understand that you are
in the insurance business.
There is some matter
we should discuss.
May I wait for you
at the Clipper Bar?
Very well. I'll be right down.
Going down?
Just waiting, thank you.
Williams.
Call the bell captain here,
and have me paged
at exactly, uh, 7:15.
- Right, Steve.
- Right.
- General Oban?
- Oh, Mr. Riley.
- How do you do? Sit. Please?
- Thank you.
- And, uh, my card.
- Thank you.
"Universal Commercial
Operations International Limited."
Very impressive.
What can I do for you?
To begin, will you share
with me this champagne?
In a period of
diminishing returns,
an investment insensibility
is always appropriate.
- You agree?
- No, thank you.
I don't share your enthusiasm
for champagne, general.
What else don't we share.
You have been making
inquiries about my daughter.
- Why?
- Your daughter?
I don't understand.
Mr. Riley, you and I
should not play games.
You are here to investigate
her death, are you not?
- Are you referring to Terri Ramos?
- I am. Yes.
And she's your daughter?
I don't wish to
encourage, in others,
the belief that what is mine
may be handled carelessly,
and then disposed of.
That would be very dangerous
for a man of my position.
What position is that, general?
Let me say, only,
that what I have,
I have a compulsion to protect.
And don't we all.
Oh, if you'll excuse me,
I seem to have a call.
Page, I'll take that.
What are you doing here?
If it's a gold
ring you're after,
you tell the man that
sent you to call me.
And tell him that
the price just went up
to 25,000 American.
Now, get out of here.
Who is it? OBAN: General Oban.
I wish to pursue
our conversation.
Thank you.
This young lady is Miko,
my personal secretary.
- She tells me you have already met.
- Yes.
And is searching rooms
part of your secretarial skills?
I suggested that.
Please, forgive.
She search only for
information as to who you are.
And the man who just tried to
kill me, did you also send him?
Ha, ha, my dear fellow,
if that day should ever
come, my efforts, believe me,
would not be so clumsy.
Let's hope that your efforts
will never be tested, general.
The intruder was waiting
here for you when I came in.
He compelled me to stay.
Oh, he compelled you, did he?
Mr. Riley, I don't know
who you really are.
But I came to offer you my
help in any way that I can.
Help me? Help me do what?
Find the man who
killed my daughter.
The man who used
her to carry heroin.
In return, I can insure you
against such, uh, ha, ha, unpleasant
incidents as happened tonight.
I appreciate your
interest, general.
But I have a feeling
that your, uh, insurance
comes a bit too high for me.
Very well.
Now, if you'll excuse
me, it's been a long day.
Good night.
Miko, my love,
will you get the lift?
Mr. Riley,
I have the feeling that
you are a dedicated hunter.
Good hunting.
General.
- One question, if you don't mind.
- Yes, of course.
How did you learn of the
death of your daughter?
Is it not most natural that a father
will be the first to learn of such tragedy?
The tragedy is that
she died needlessly,
with a massive overdose
of heroin at age 23.
Yes.
And for that, someone will pay.
Thank you.
You silly little man.
A dancer who treads
on his own feet.
Why didn't you tell me that
was General Oban's daughter?
I didn't know,
John. I didn't know.
Has anyone talked to you
about her or asked any questions?
Just one man. An American.
What's his name, and
what's he look like?
Kevin Riley.
Stocky, about two
meters, uh... Oh.
Fourteen stone, 40, 42.
He said he was
an insurance bloke.
Did you mention my
name to him? Or anyone?
No, John.
- No, and I won't.
- I know that, Jonas.
What did you get?
This is what you've
been waiting for.
Good.
"Sandover, Lucas P.
0437659.
Graduated U.S. Naval
Academy, 5 June 1963.
Commissioned ensign, same date.
Commander Sandover
reported missing in
action, presumed dead,
over Northern Laos,
17th December, 1969.
Survived by Dolores
Kent Sandover, widow.
Photo follows."
- He's been dead for nine years.
- A ghost, with a ring.
Room 1703.
We hope you enjoy
your stay, madame.
Thank you.
In what room is Mr. Steve
McGarrett registered in, please?
Sorry. We have no
Mr. McGarrett registered here.
My mistake. Sorry.
You're late.
- How far are you?
- This one makes 12.
- You do?
- Yeah.
We have to clean filtering
tanks and run this through again.
We are picking up too many
unconverted morphine salts.
Leave it with her. I
need you in Singapore.
We'll finish tonight.
The pig's coming in.
I brought you a copy of
the telex. You want to see it?
McGARRETT: No.
Dan Williams told me
the details on the phone.
It appears that Sandover has
been dead nine years, huh?
But there's still someone in Singapore
who wants his ring desperately.
- Have you picked up Jonas yet?
- Yes.
The CID picked him out of
the Wayan River this morning.
Poor little guy. I wonder why.
Well, perhaps he
was part of the puzzle.
Yeah, possibly.
Tell me what you know
about this General Oban.
Many irons in the
fire. Many fires.
He's a very influential man.
Do you think he could
have killed Jonas?
I doubt it.
When the general
has someone removed,
there are no awkward
things left behind.
Like bodies.
You don't think the general
believed your cover story, do you?
I don't know. But he sure
knew Terri Ramos was dead,
and I'd like to know how.
On what flight
did you arrive, sir?
Flight 27 from Hong Kong.
What is the purpose of
your visit to Singapore?
Pleasure.
- Welcome to Singapore.
- Yeah.
Hello, Mr. McGarrett.
May I buy you a drink?
I'm sorry, you have the wrong
person. My name is Riley.
Kevin Riley. DOLORES: Is it?
Well, Mr. Riley, maybe
it was Steve McGarrett
before you changed it?
In which case, I'll
buy you both a drink.
Very well.
Who are you and
what do you want?
I'm Dolores Sandover.
Luke Sandover's wife.
I believe my
husband is still alive.
One of my friends from the
Pentagon alerted me that Hawaii Five-0
had made an inquiry about
a Naval Academy class ring.
It was Luke's.
Class ring? Hawaii Five-0?
I don't understand what this is all
about. Would you kindly explain?
Oh, come on, Mr. McGarrett.
My father is Admiral Arnold
Kent, stationed at Pearl.
I believe you know each other.
Could I see your
passport, please?
- My passport?
- Your passport.
I'd like to see if you are
related to Admiral Kent.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Once the Navy
labels someone dead,
it's so hard to get anyone
to believe otherwise.
I guess I push too hard
when it comes to Luke.
I know it. But I can't
seem to help myself.
What makes you think that
your husband is still alive?
Well, he was on a
reconnaissance flight over Laos.
The plane was shot down.
They found the observer's body,
but they never found Luke.
But that was over
nine years ago.
If he is alive, why
doesn't he come back?
There could be many reasons.
It was a secret war in Laos.
He could still be held captive,
he could be badly injured.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I've said it so often, I sound like
a broken record, even to myself.
But it's just I can't give up.
I know he's still
alive. I feel it.
You know, sometimes, I
can almost hear his voice. I...
Sit down, please.
Have you ever been
convinced that something is true,
even though all the evidence
pointed to the contrary?
Yes, I have.
Excuse me a moment, please.
May I bring you a drink?
- What would you like?
- Oh, I'd love a vodka tonic.
One vodka tonic
for the lady, please.
Mrs. Sandover, most
women in your situation
would have given
up after nine years.
Possibly married again.
Especially since the Navy declared
him legally dead. Why haven't you?
I've had other
men, Mr. McGarrett.
I'm not pristine.
But I'm still married to Luke.
You can't kill what I feel here.
The Navy can't label
love legally dead.
There's a phone
call for you, Mr. Riley.
- Oh, thank you.
- This way, please.
Will you excuse me?
Hello? LEE: Mr. Riley?
Yeah.
We are prepared to buy an
insurance policy from you for $25,000.
It will be paid to you in small
bills tomorrow morning at 8:00.
You will be called
15 minutes before 8.
Please bring the
object in question.
Who the hell is this?
Say yes if you understand.
Yes. Of course. But I wanna know
who I'm dealing with, pal. Who is this?
Mrs. Sandover, I, uh...
I'd be glad to help
you in any way I can.
But I must warn you that
if your husband is alive,
he may be engaged in
some very serious and ugly
criminal operation.
And if I find him,
he may spend the rest of
his life in Leavenworth Prison.
There must be some explanation.
Well, for your
sake, I hope there is.
Will you excuse me?
Hi.
Mr. Ho. This is Ong Lee.
Yes.
I arrived safely.
I await your call to
test the merchandise.
Good. You wait there.
We'll pick you up.
McGARRETT: Uh, good morning.
I've been waiting for you.
- I wanted to continue our discussion.
- I'm sorry.
I'm in a hurry right
now. Later, perhaps.
Mr. McGarrett,
there are two ways to play this:
pleasantly or unpleasantly.
When it comes to finding my
husband, you must include me.
If you don't take me with you, I'll
tell the world who Kevin Riley really is.
Dear lady, if you do know me,
you should know better
than to threaten me. Ever.
Excuse me.
Learn anything yet?
Yeah. The caller said to be at
Mount Faber, alone, in ten minutes.
I need a taxi. A taxi.
I am a snake charmer.
This snake, no poison.
This one no teeth.
This one harmless, sir.
Okay, beat it, pal.
I don't dig snakes.
If you have the ring,
hold it in your right hand.
- Who are you?
- The caller.
What was the first thing I
said to you on the phone?
"Who the hell is this?"
McGARRETT: There it is.
Hmm.
All right.
We will both go
across on the cable.
Get in line for your ticket.
I'll be right behind you.
Correction. You'll
be right ahead of me.
Luke! Luke!
Luke! Luke!
Luke!
Get him!
Let me in. Police.
Yeah. Except for a few
bruises, I'm all right, inspector.
Yeah.
I'm on the Sentosa side.
Right.
Danno. I'm in here.
Right.
Yes, I'll be back.
Steve, For a minute, I thought you
were gonna slide down after him.
No. That's a... I wonder
where he learned that one.
Anyway, we got one.
We got the bag man.
Look, I have not
committed a crime.
I wish to be released.
- I wanna see a doctor.
- You will see a doctor
when you need one.
I want answers
to some questions.
Where did you get
the U.S. currency?
I don't know.
Someone gave me
$20 to sit in the park,
and give the briefcase
to the right man.
Oh, sure.
Sure. I talked to you three
times on the phone yesterday,
setting this up.
I recognize your
voice. Now you're lying!
Who was the man you were with?
Who was the man you were with?
Take him to detention.
Maybe a little confinement
will jog his memory.
- He won't talk. Bet on it.
- Maybe.
What do you think happened to
him when he got to the other side?
There are islands
in every direction.
But my guess is, he's got
a kampong somewhere.
It looks like he's
off and running.
If the risk he
took was any sign,
he's gonna move
fast and get out.
At least we know who he
is now. We've seen him.
And we might have had him,
if it wasn't for Mrs. Sandover.
Don't forget, if it weren't for the
lady, we wouldn't know who he is.
You think he saw her, Steve?
No question, Danno. I think
he may wanna see her again.
I've got her
switchboard monitored.
Inspector, uh,
if I may suggest, uh,
I'd place a light protective
custody around the lady.
That way, if she tries to give
us the slip, uh, we'll be ready.
Thank you for your
suggestion, Mr. McGarrett.
We continue to benefit
from your experience.
You're a foul
weather bird, John.
Are you all right?
I feel like I went 20 with
Ali, in his prime. Aah!
Nothing broken, I hope.
Just my spirit, John. My spirit.
They've got one of my men.
What? Will he talk?
How the hell do I know?
Would you, John?
Would I?
I might, John.
I'm sure you would.
Perhaps.
What's our next move?
My wife was there. She saw me.
I think it's time to get out.
You said one more
time. The big one.
It's all moving. The German's
there with U.S. green.
You've gotta see it through.
I see greed's taken over, John.
Whatever happened to fear?
I've always wanted
to be a wealthy man.
You know what wealth is?
The money your money earns
while you're doing something else.
That's what we're gonna
be, Luke, after this is over.
All right, John, all right.
But fast.
We move the goods
tomorrow, or not at all.
Understand?
Tomorrow is the last day.
The guinea pig is here.
And the German's standing by.
Just give me a little bit
of leaving time if you can.
I'll let you know
where and when.
You understand, if
Luke calls, I'm going.
I hope your friend
won't be in my way.
Your husband's a desperate
man, Mrs. Sandover.
You realize that he
can be dangerous.
You don't know that.
Until yesterday morning, you
didn't even know he was alive.
Yeah, well, I know it now. And
I'll tell you something else I know.
The penalty in Singapore
for what he's involved in
is death by hanging.
Page. I'm Mrs. Sandover.
- Telephone call for you.
- Thank you.
If he's calling, tell him to
turn himself into the police.
So he can be hanged?
No, no. Not if he surrenders
himself to American jurisdiction.
He'll get a fair trial.
And life in prison.
Would you prefer
death by hanging?
Hello. I'm Dolores Sandover.
- Do you have a call for me?
- There's no time to talk.
Now, immediately, hang up, and
walk to the rear entrance of the hotel.
There's a car waiting for you.
Do it.
Wait a minute!
What are you doing?
Target has switched
to white sedan.
Headed north on Marcross Road.
License number SD1947A.
Should be able to
spot them from B Z.
He's heading north.
Don't let them get too close.
If we scare them,
we've got to take them.
Nine years I haven't seen you.
- Is that all you can say?
- This isn't a conversation.
I need an answer.
In Asia looking for you
and I can't believe
I finally found you.
Luke, let me look at you.
Luke.
Luke.
Look at me. What's
wrong with you?
Luke!
Why did you let her go?
I made Mrs. Sandover an offer,
that if he turns himself
over to U.S. custody.
You what?
Stella Net, this is Nancy Z ed.
Primary is now moving
towards target at Victor Z ed.
I told her, if Sandover helps
us get the rest, you get them.
The U.S. government gets him.
That's a fair trade, isn't it, inspector?
Uh-huh. And you get
the Honolulu connection.
That's right. That's what
I'm here for, inspector.
Come on. Let's go.
Stella Net, this is dispatch.
We need some bodies
on the ground at Victor Zed.
They're looking for you.
- You can't hide forever.
- What do they know about me?
They know what you're
doing, who you are,
- and what you look like.
- Yeah. Thanks to you.
What did you expect
me to do when I saw you?
Yeah. Sorry.
That's his car.
Well, I doubt if
he'll come back to it.
Who's the American? A cop?
Yes. His name's Steve McGarrett.
He wants to help you, Luke.
He says if you turn yourself
over to American jurisdiction,
they won't hang you.
Yeah, 20 years in Leavenworth
at hard labor, I'd rather hang.
What happened to you?
Your life! Your career!
You had everything!
You didn't know
what it was like.
I was injured and there
were certain things I had to do,
just to survive.
I got in deep. I got in so deep,
I couldn't get out.
And I was ashamed.
I couldn't face
you or your father.
That's a lie.
I didn't wanna come back.
I hated the whole damn system
that put me there in the first place.
All right.
But what about us now?
Well, that's up to you.
I've had it. I'm getting out.
You can come
with me if you want.
- Can I?
- Yeah.
They're looking for you, Luke.
- You're wanted.
- Wanting isn't getting.
With a couple of million dollars
and a talent for getting lost,
they'll never find me.
Never. I guarantee it.
I know some places the
natives don't even know about.
Come with me.
What about the $2
million worth of dope?
Listen, if I don't sell
it, somebody else will.
We've saturated the area
with, uh, plain-clothed officers.
What a strange place to come to.
I don't see how we can
avoid picking him up.
Not if I know him, Danno.
I'll be right back.
Let's see the map, Danno.
This looks like the
closest border, due west.
I figured he'd
stay close to water.
- The Kranji River.
- Yeah.
Maybe we can get between
him and the Mandai Village, here.
I wonder how Sandover
will try to get out of the area.
How would an Annapolis
graduate do it, Danno?
Let McGarrett help you, Luke.
Please?
Please.
Let him help us, Luke.
All right.
You talk to the American cop,
if he's got anything
reasonable to say, I'll listen.
- You mean it.
- Of course, I do.
I need you.
Oh, I love you.
My men just picked up Mrs.
Sandover at the white car.
Mrs. Sandover?
What about Sandover?
He either eluded
us or he's still here.
Perhaps Mrs. Sandover
will shed some light.
I doubt it. But I think you
and Danno should try anyway.
Make sure she's
protected, inspector.
- What do you intend to do?
- Find him, if I can.
If you find him here, you
have no authority to take him.
If I find him, we'll
discuss the legalities later.
He's gonna recognize
you pretty quick, Steve.
Maybe. Maybe not, Danno.
Time to go. Very quickly.
You must lead me.
No one is there.
Caucasian man, with
a hat. Where did he go?
The prayer of
seven contentments.
He forgot his sacred text.
A broken-down Hong Kong
Chinese in $3 hotel room.
Is this a big
narcotics operation?
Maybe we're moving
in the wrong direction.
No.
This is their guinea pig.
The man who tests
the quality of their goods
before they take delivery.
He's probably a long-time
addict from Hong Kong.
Let's put this place
under surveillance.
I see that he hasn't
finished his prayers.
This stuff is 80 plus.
You stepped on it once. That
makes it about 40 plus now.
That's pretty high.
I don't want any accidents.
No, no, no.
No accidents are possible.
This is the year of the horse.
You see.
From the Krangi
inlet, over there,
a fast boat is only five
minutes from sanctuary
across the straits in Johore.
Within minutes, you're at the
closest international waters.
Well, he's out there somewhere.
Every time he runs,
he runs to the sea.
And they'll have fast
boats. You can bet on that.
Their pattern is to buy the
latest engines and soup them up.
Quite right.
Very fast. Very fast.
It's just like catching
tadpoles with your hands.
Maybe you catch nothing.
So the bottom line is, if
we're gonna catch them,
we have to match
them on the water, huh?
Correct.
And my chaps are always
delighted to test their skills.
- How fast do these police boats go?
- Oh, about 18 knots.
- That's fast enough.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
- Hello?
- John, is your man there?
Yeah. What about Ho?
Yeah, I got him here. Put
your man on the blower.
Come on. Come on.
Very strong surge on the needle.
Good peak.
Very fine finish.
Small even crystal.
Take the cut well.
Appears stable.
No condensation or granulation.
I sampled three
out of the 20 kilos.
Hello?
You got it. On a scale of
one to ten, he says it's a 20.
Now come on, is it a go? I
can't hang in here forever.
- Yeah.
- It's a go.
All right. We'll be on schedule.
Just make sure you're there.
Small bills. Only U.S.
No Yen, no Marks,
no Swiss Franks.
You got it.
Take him back to the
hotel and dump him.
Better get an
ambulance for this one.
- Get into my car.
- No.
Do as I tell you.
- Why? What have I done?
- You killed my daughter.
- No! Listen to me! I didn't!
- You gave her drugs to carry.
No, listen to me,
general. I swear.
I swear, it was my partner.
I had nothing to do with it.
I warned him. I told him
to keep away from her.
It was Luke Sandover.
The respiratory stimulants
have done the job.
You can talk to
him now, inspector.
Thank you.
You're a long way
from home, Mr. Ho.
I want to ask you
some questions.
Where did you go
to get the last fix?
Thirsty bee, tell the humming
bird where the nectar is.
No.
But if the bee doesn't tell
me where he got the last fix,
there won't be any more nectar.
We were on a ship.
That's all I know. I'm blind.
Uh, inspector, excuse
me a moment, please.
Mr. Ho,
you can't see, but
you have other senses,
perhaps more acute
than those who can see.
Tell me about the
ship you were on.
You are American.
Yes, I am.
It smelled bad.
Rust.
The smell of rust
and stale curry.
The smell of rust and stale curry
could be every ship east of Suez.
How long were you
on the small boat
that took you out
to the large ship?
Three hundred and fifty cycles.
Cycles of what?
I breathe 900 cycles per hour.
That's strange. Why do
you count your breaths?
It's a way to tell the distance
when one cannot see.
I see.
Thank you. Just a minute.
Nine hundred cycles.
Nine hundred cycles.
Nine hundred cycles.
Sixty minutes in an hour,
that would be 15
cycles every minute.
Um, in what direction
were you going Mr. Ho?
Could you tell? Was the sun up?
Uh, did the sun hit you
on the face or on the back?
I looked at the
direction of the sun, yes.
I balance the warmth on my face.
The boat runs off
to the south, a little.
Not much at first,
but always more and more.
Let's see. West, southwest,
veering a little to southwest.
But at what speed?
At maximum speed for
any boats around here.
Perhaps, 30 knots.
Let's take a look at the chart.
They're coming, Selah.
The goods are ready
for them, brother.
We'll put the goods in number
two, but we'll keep it on the water.
If they try anything stupid,
we'll have the jump on them.
Just you and two of
the guys, and the goods.
- Fine?
- Fine.
And if I run away, where
will you be, brother?
Swimming in the bloody
ocean after you, brother.
Let me see your
smiling face, John.
I'm here, Luke.
Slowly. Come in very slowly.
They land you, only
you, and then back off.
Have you no faith
in your fellow men?
None whatever.
I said, back off.
We'll unload the goods
first, and then we'll celebrate.
I have a bottle of something
special, just for you.
And I got something
special just for you, Luke.
Yes, you have. You
most certainly have.
Let them sit out there and wait,
while you and I have a real count out.
Just like the old paydays.
If Alexander had your
leadership qualities,
he might have made
something of himself.
When it comes to
counting out money, John,
I don't need outside help.
Well, the buyer's associate
wants to come over
and check the
goods. Have a drink.
The goods are out there in the boat.
They can check it all from out there
and then leave.
You and I will do
all the drinking.
Your new found caution
is commendable, Luke.
It's gonna take a
bit of getting used to.
Keep smiling. You're gonna walk
me down to the boat with the cases.
No, John. Not you. You're
not the double-crossing type.
Circumstances change, Luke.
Pick up the cases
and start walking.
It's not gonna work, John.
These boys will kill us both.
No, they won't. They'll
do what you say to do.
Tell them to go
about their business.
Do it or I'll kill you right
here and take my chances.
Don't forget. I
understand Malay.
All right. You go first.
Tell your men to
get out of the boat.
Okay. When we get down to
the bottom, you stand quietly.
I know what's
bothering you, John.
The police are getting close. You think,
if they got me, they're gonna get you.
Relax, John. Trust me.
Back off now, while
there's still a chance.
This is gonna be the last
haul, anyway. You know that.
Tell them it's all right.
Get in the boat.
Get in the boat.
Tell him to let the rope go.
Okay, Luke. Keep
smiling, and full ahead.
You made a much better friend than
you made an enemy, brother John.
Yes, sir.
These are the
territorial waters.
These are international waters.
This is the line of demarcation.
We can enter and leave the
international zone as we please.
But we cannot
engage in any action
once we are out of
Singapore territorial waters.
Are you all right?
Are you all harmed?
I'm all right. The Malayan
police must be on the way.
They must've heard the
shots. Take four guys per boat.
Lead the rest to the fishing
party. And no weapons.
Let's get out of here
and head for the freighter.
Take a look, Danno.
- That look familiar?
- Yeah.
Come on. Hard right.
My God, it's Sandover.
If he gets out much further,
he'll be in international waters.
- You cannot touch him.
- Maybe.
Fire at the water line.
Ready to cut engines.
They're in international
waters. I'm sorry. They've won.
You're sorry? We've got
to take them, inspector.
- Don't you understand that?
- No. Absolutely not.
Captain, I'd like
a word with you.
- I insist that you pursue that boat.
- Mr. McGarrett. Mr. McGarrett!
These orders are specific.
We cannot proceed.
It would violate
international law.
That's sheer
nonsense, inspector.
Anybody who deals
in drugs at this level
are mass murderers
and violate human law.
I realize that, Mr. McGarrett.
Now, the best we can do
is pick up the other boat.
Well, that's not
the best I can do.
There's no sign of
anyone. What do you think?
Plenty money now.
They all go celebrate.
All right. Take us in.
Welcome aboard,
Mr. Sandover. Ah...
That would be your second error.
Equal in severity and
stupidity to your first.
I don't know what you're
talking about or who you are.
I think otherwise,
Sandover. Bring her!
The eight ounces of heroin
that you used to kill my daughter,
now are your wife's portion.
She has five ounces
left to consume.
What do you want?
Money? How much?
Only you, Sandover.
You will surrender
yourself to me.
And I will allow
your wife to go.
Otherwise, she will be
fed the remaining portion.
I allow you five minutes
to consider this matter.
And I remind you, you have
a choice where I had none.
- Our brothers arrive. They escaped.
- I don't think so.
- You're the American, huh?
- Yeah.
And you're the Annapolis
graduate, hey, commander?
Mr. McGarrett,
your presence here
was not expected,
but you stand next to the
man who killed my daughter.
If you can persuade him
to surrender himself to me,
I will allow his wife
to go free. And you.
The Singapore Police
are on the way, general.
You better let me handle this.
Ah, Mr. McGarrett. We
are in international waters.
You know that.
Sandover, two minutes.
Surrender yourself to
me, you'll get a fair trial.
Maybe Oban will settle for that.
You don't really believe
that, do you, McGarrett?
You wanna live?
I'll live. You can bet on it.
And you're gonna leave
your wife here with him?
He won't kill her, McGarrett.
It's my blood he wants.
Yeah, that's obvious.
General. Hold your fire,
I'm coming up. I'm unarmed.
Is there a way out?
Yeah, if I can kill the general
and McGarrett, there is.
General. OBAN: McGarrett.
And stop there.
Loe.
I've come for Mrs. Sandover.
And you may have her.
After her husband surrenders
himself to me. Not before.
I'm taking her with me.
She's an American citizen.
You have no right to hold her.
McGarrett,
killing you is not
of interest to me.
I'm interested only in avenging
the murder of my daughter.
Then you should use the
gun on yourself, general.
You killed your daughter.
She was carrying your heroin.
- That's how you knew of her death.
- You lie.
You're the Honolulu connection.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be
here now. And neither would this.
- You lie.
- I'm taking her.
There's no more time
for you or Sandover.
Lie down on the deck.
Lie down on the deck.
You want to die now?
All right, general,
I'm coming up.
Unarmed.
You look amused, general.
Sandover's reaction
vindicates my judgment of him.
It would appear he places
some value on his wife's life.
Don't count on it,
general. Don't count on it.
- May I?
- Yes. Of course.
Now both hands
on top of your head.
You win,
McGarrett.
No. No.
You lose,
commander. You lose.
We were stopped down below,
Steve, waiting to see who won up here.
Just death up here, Danno.
They killed each
other. Ironic, isn't it?
They inflicted a hell of a lot of
pain between them before they died.
I wonder how much good all their
dirty money's gonna do them now.
Yeah.
Yeah, I wonder.
He was thinking only of himself,
even at the last, wasn't he?
Yeah, I'm afraid so.
Can you live with that?
I can live with the truth.
Flight 1 to Hong Kong
is now boarding at Gate 7.
Thank you.
You've been so very
good to me, Mr. McGarrett.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, pretty lady.
I hope the pain in
here will ease for you.
It already has.
- At least the search is over.
- Yeah.
That's the nicest thing that's
happened to me in Singapore.
Mrs. Sandover, your
flight's boarding now.
All right.
Goodbye.
When do you fly out?
Oh... Tonight, I guess.
I've got to testify before the
Grand Jury in Honolulu, on Monday.
Why don't you come
visit us, inspector?
Eddie. Call me Eddie.
Okay, Eddie.
It's a good idea.
I need a vacation.
That's your cover.
But why are you really
coming to Honolulu?
