Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 12, Episode 16 - Clash of Shadows - full transcript

Israel's celebrated Nazi-hunter Yuri Bloch has apparently been killed in Honolulu while trying to gather information about a war criminal named Emil Klaus. Knowing the Bloch would only have come to Hawaii if a former Nazi were hiding there, McGarrett and Five-O conduct their own search for Klaus -- while Bloch's partner lies badly wounded in a safe house, and the woman caring for him does what she can to assist while undercover.

H.P.D. found a body this
morning floating down near Pier 40.

It was Yuri Bloch.

You've heard of Emil Klaus?
The death camp butcher

~ of World War Il?
~ Yes, of course.

We believe Yuri Bloch
was closing in on him.

What about the lady?

She, like you, intruded
in my private affairs.

This way, please.

Sure you can trust this man?

Well, right now
he's all we have.

Mr. Palmer.



~ Professor? ~ Yes.

No!

Who is it?

Masada blue.

Masada red.

Don't try to talk.

You're in a safe house.

My name is Anne.

Yuri dead.

Yuri Bloch is dead?

Who are you?

Joel.

Ship.

Ship.



Joel?

Joel Ship?

Yuri dead.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

The mission.

What about the mission?

It goes on.

McGARRETT: H.P.D.
found a body this morning

floating down near Pier 40

with three bullet holes in it.

It was Yuri Bloch.

The Yuri Bloch?

The guy that tracks down
the Nazi war criminals?

Yeah. Murdered in Honolulu.

McGARRETT: I admired
Yuri Bloch, governor.

He was special. One of a kind.

He gave up everything.
Finally, even his life

to help track down men like
Eichmann, Stangl, Kendler.

And what was Yuri Bloch,

one of Israel's top
intelligence agents, doing here?

I don't know, sir.

But he was not an Israeli
agent, not technically.

He worked on his own.

Had his own people, own
private agency actually.

I better get on it.

Steve.

~ Yes, sir? ~
You're already on it.

I put in a call to the
Israeli government for you.

You should be getting
it soon in your office.

And remember,

you're in the
diplomatic area now.

You'll be walking on eggs.

Yes, sir. I'll tiptoe.

As you must know, Mr. McGarrett,
we have a deep respect for Yuri Bloch.

The matter will be
attended to summarily.

Thank you for your condolences,
your kind offer of service.

Mr. Minister, this isn't
just a condolence call.

I have a very serious
crime to solve here

and I need your cooperation.

We feel it would be best if you
waited until our man arrives in Honolulu

some eight or ten hours.

Well, even in eight to ten
hours, the trail can grow cold, sir.

I'd like to move now.

There is nothing I can tell you.

Well, if there is nothing
you could tell me,

then your Yuri
Bloch died in vain.

And I can't believe that
you would allow that.

This is not your
fight, Mr. McGarrett.

Mr. Minister, I'm not asking
for your permission, sir.

I'm asking for your help.
Do I get it? Yes or no?

If I can't dissuade
you, I'll, uh...

I'll tell you the little I know.

You've heard of Emil Klaus?

The death camp
butcher of World War Il?

Yes, of course. He's
living in Argentina, isn't he?

Not for the last three years.

We believe Yuri Bloch
was closing in on him.

~ You mean, here
in Honolulu? ~ Yes.

And you mustn't think of Emil
Klaus as a tired, hunted old man.

He is today a leader of youth,

the new generation,
new faces, new ways,

but the same poison
in the soul, fascism.

Are you suggesting
that he's responsible

for Yuri Bloch's murder?

Well, let's say it's
a distinct possibility.

And incidentally, we believe
there was a second man

working with Yuri.

He's disappeared.

Klaus will be
looking for him too.

Mr. McGarrett, shalom.

Shalom.

Yuri Bloch's things
are over there.

His ID, clothes,
everything we found on him.

Makani Kai Hotel, hmm?

Certainly inexpensive clothes.

Apparently, he
kept a low profile.

Fifty bucks.

It's a Knight's Cross.

Highest order the Nazis
handed out in World War Il.

What's an Israeli
agent doing with that?

Yeah, good question, Kimo.

Good question.

Harry, I'm gonna sign for these.

Okay, Kimo, we'll start here.

Room 411, please.

- Hello, Mr. Turner.
- Is Mr. Cassell in?

~ Mr. Cassell is
on the patio. ~ Fine.

Yes, he had an
affinity with death, sir.

"War crimes hunter murdered."

With every step that he took
here, he was drawn closer to me.

Still I don't see any
mention of the other man

who was with, uh, Yuri Bloch.

Well, he could have survived.

If he's alive, I want him found.

Yes, sir. We're keeping
surveillance at Bloch's hotel.

As a matter of fact, one of
McGarrett's men showed up

in the room Yuri Bloch had
under the name Andre Palmer.

And I was trapped.

I don't think he saw me.

He didn't see me.

I should be grateful
for small favors at least.

Mr. McGarrett's investigation is
limited to finding Yuri Bloch's killers,

which I hope is
rather remote. Ha, ha.

Not a chance of it, sir.

I'm right on top of it.

So am I on top of it.

If Mr. McGarrett should
blunder into a right path,

that will be a dead end for
him, even as it was for Bloch.

Go in and help our
man pack our records.

The crypto, the Chinese
pamphlets, the correspondence.

The library will go last
under my supervision.

It was really
dumb to let that guy

smack me from
behind with a pistol.

Whoever it was did a good
job on that hotel room, though.

There's not a clue, nothing.

Not even a label.

~ Duke, what do you got?
~ Maybe a coincidence.

There was a fire last
night in Pearl City.

Yeah, what about it?

A shop that sells military
insignia and medals.

Like a Knight's Cross?

Interesting.

Okay.

Kimo, call the coroner.

Have him take a second look,

close look at that autopsy
report of Larry Akaela.

He's the owner of
that memorabilia shop.

Anything on the other agent
who was working with Yuri Bloch?

No, H.P.D. is still checking
the hospitals, clinics, doctors.

But I've got a hunch
the answer is right here.

Yet I can't think of one single reason
why Yuri Bloch was carrying this.

~ Yes, ma'am. ~ Yes.

Could you tell me if there's any
mail for Mr. Andre Palmer, please?

Palmer.

Oh, yes, 411.

I haven't seen him today.

But a cablegram came
in for him this morning.

Well, he asked me to, uh, pick up
anything that might be here for him.

Here's an authorization.

That will be fine, but
you'll have to sign for it.

Thank you.

Okay, excuse me. Never
mind, I'll pay the fare.

Okay, please hurry.

It's for Yuri.

It's a cablegram, in code.

I don't know what the code is.
You're gonna have to help me.

Hot, hot.

It could be vital.

Oh.

Water.

You must have a doctor.

It's an R.

Followed by A~L~L~Y.

That's the first word. Rally.

What does it mean?

Please. You must try.

Now, the police are on the case.

Mr. McGarrett of Hawaii Five~0 is
too, but he must know what this means.

McGarrett. McGarrett.

I am not here.

I haven't told anyone
where you are.

Please.

The code.

I just don't know what to do.

Rall.

Rall.

Rally.

Ship.

Ship.

Please.

What does it mean?

"Rally among men of good cheer."

"Rally among men of good cheer."

HARRY: Central to Carew.

Carew here.

~ Coroner's office calling.
~ Yeah, go ahead, Harry.

Kimo, there's a man
here to identify Yuri Bloch.

Says he's a relative.

Well, keep him
there. I'll be right over.

Could you fill out a
form for me, please?

~ Just a formality you viewed
the body. ~ No, no, not now.

~ I'm sorry, but it's regulations.
~ Just leave me alone. Go away.

Well, he got light brown hair and
he's about 5'10". Uh, is that right?

Right.

All right, put out
an APB on him.

Yeah, thanks.

I picked a nice,
peaceful profession.

In the lab, right?

Wrong.

Harry, when you stop feeling sorry
for yourself, would you mind telling me

what's happening with the
Larry Akaela autopsy, please?

It's still asphyxiation
as far as we can tell.

Smoke in his lungs.

But give us a little more time.

We might run out of time.

Who would wanna act like that?

More to the point.

Why?

Excuse me, sir.

I just checked with the airline.

The plane from Vienna should be
about 30 minutes ahead of schedule.

Shall I arrange to pick
the men up at the airport?

There is no need.

They'll come directly here.

There will be ample time

for a final briefing and
the disposition of funds.

When will we be
leaving here, sir?

By dark, I should say.
Why? You're anxious?

I just wonder what
South Africa will be like.

Does it matter?

Just a spot on
the Earth's surface.

The importance is, is
where our organization

will take roots and grow.

Our young patriots
will see to that.

Someday they'll make the
world march to our drummer.

Without you, it
couldn't have happened.

Exactly.

And there was a detail
you were to attend to.

The other agent.

Hans covered Bloch's hotel.

A young woman picked up an
envelope for Palmer, Bloch that is.

I checked later. The woman
gave a false name and address.

Which means Hans
did not follow her.

He said there were
people. He couldn't.

He is your responsibility.

You'll keep an eye out for her.

If she turns up again, you
bring her here, any way you can.

Do you understand?

Answer me.

I understand, sir.

Hi, uh, Carew, Five~0.

Hello. Captain Raymond,
fire damage inspector.

What exactly happened
around here, captain?

We got a call about 10:30 last
night. That's all we could save.

The owner was dead on
arrival, in his quarters in back,

on a couch with the remains
of a half~burned cigarette.

Yeah, it happens
a lot, doesn't it?

There's nothing
unusual, though, huh?

Nothing we could see.

You, um, didn't run across
anything like that, did you?

No, but there could have been.

There was a lot of
melted stuff all around.

Okay.

See you.

Steve, I finally got the
report on Larry Akaela.

Okay, go ahead, Harry.

You're right. It was murder.

We found a drug
that paralyzes slowly

and actually allows
the victims to breathe,

but prevents them from doing
anything to save themselves.

I never heard of
a drug like that.

Paralithium.

The Germans experimented
with it in World War Il.

It's been outlawed since.

The Germans, huh?

Okay, thank you, Harry.

That, um, Knight's Cross,
you have it with you?

Oh. Yeah, Steve.

Now, if Yuri Bloch had some
reason to call Larry Akaela,

maybe this German cross
had some special significance.

Well, expensive pieces like
that are sometimes turned over

to somebody like Akaela
to be sold on commission.

Maybe he was going to the shop.

Yeah.

Or maybe Yuri Bloch arranged
to meet him somewhere

and Larry Akaela was killed
before they could get together.

I don't know, Kimo. There's
gotta be something in that shop.

I want every bill, receipt

or slip of paper you can
find, charred or not charred.

You got it.

Yes, Luana.

There's a call for you. A woman.

She says it's about Yuri Bloch.

Oh, put her on,
please. Right away.

Hello.

ANNE: Mr. McGarrett?

~ Yes, this is he. ~ I'm
calling about Yuri Bloch.

~ What can I do for you?
~ Please listen carefully.

~ Who are you? ~
That's not important.

A cablegram was
delivered to Yuri Bloch.

I can't decipher it.

Where was it from
and how did you get it?

From Vienna, no address.

Mr. McGarrett, can you help me?

Well, I'll try.

Do you know that
there was another man

with Yuri Bloch?

Yes, there was. He's
been badly wounded.

~ And where is he
now? ~ He's safe.

He can't help with the
cablegram, Mr. McGarrett.

He just doesn't make any sense.

Is he under a doctor's care?

No, he won't let me.

He's delirious. Says he doesn't
want anyone to know where he is.

~ Is that all he says?
~ No, he says a name.

Over and over.

Uh, ship, ship.

I don't know, I don't know whether
it's a name or it could be a word.

I need help, Mr. McGarrett.

All right, I'll do what I can to help
you. Where can I see this cablegram?

~ Can you bring it to
me? ~ I already have.

It's downstairs in your car.

This other man
you mentioned, uh,

he can possibly help us
solve Yuri Bloch's murder.

Goodbye, Mr. McGarrett.

Ship.

Yes.

Your call from the deputy
administrator is on line one, Steve.

Oh, thank you.

Yes, Mr. Minister.

We managed to break down
that message, Mr. McGarrett.

It apparently was sent
by Yuri's people in Vienna.

I see. Will you go ahead, sir?

Uh, the decoder reads, "First
security of Oahu three four."

What does that mean, three four?

We believe it refers to
foreign bank drafts to Honolulu.

Now, coordinating with other
information we've been able to obtain,

it could coincide
with the departure

of three dangerous
young Austrian men

with Nazi connections also
on their way to Honolulu.

And the rest of the cablegram?

Uh, the words, uh, third and
fourth are the dates of the month

when the money was sent.

And to whom was it sent?

We don't know.

But we suspect the money
will eventually wind up

in the hands of Emil Klaus.

Huh. Klaus.

Well, thank you, sir.

Uh, but be careful,
Mr. McGarrett.

There is nothing more
we can do for you, sir.

You've helped greatly.

Thank you. Shalom.

Shalom.

~ Duke. Duke. ~ Yes, Steve?

Get over to the DA's office. We
need a subpoena for the bank records.

~ All right, Steve. ~ And, Duke,

tell Carew to put on a shirt and
tie. He's gonna be talking to bankers.

Okay, Steve.

Excuse me, uh, could you tell me
where I could find Mr., uh, Mohai?

~ Right over there. ~ Thank you.

Mr. Mohai.

Oh, I'm, uh, expecting
you, Mr. Carew.

Everything seems to be in
order. It will just take a moment.

Will you sign these
forms, please?

~ Sure. ~ I'll be right back.

~ Uh, here you go. ~ Thank you.

~ This way, please. ~ All right.

Don't move.

Just act natural.

So, Mr. Mohai, you say,
um, this Christine Martin

is the only one in the bank
that knew I was here, huh?

How long has she
been working for you?

About three years.

I just can't believe it.

Well, I can. That's
the same length of time

that Emil Klaus has been
missing from Argentina.

Duke, put out an APB
on this Christine Martin.

We did already, Kimo.

Mr. Mohai, those bank
records that were destroyed,

how long will it take to
get those reconstructed?

Maybe 48 hours.

They have to come from
the originating foreign banks.

~ Excuse me. ~ Sure.

What did you get from
Larry Akaela's shop, Kimo?

Well, we got a lot of ashes
and a whole lot of burned paper.

The lab's working on it now.

Uh, that's the best of it.

Well, we're down to
two possibilities, my dear.

You're either working for one,

the Israelis,

or two, Yuri Bloch's
private little gang of Israelis.

Which is it, my dear?

Come on now, you did pick up
Yuri Bloch's envelope at the hotel.

You even knew he was registered
under the name of Palmer.

There was a man. He
paid me to pick that up.

~ Liar. ~ Unh!

I saw her waiting
outside the bank.

She knew why that
Carew was there.

She was either his lookout
or she followed him there.

You might as well
tell me, my dear.

Including the whereabouts
of your other agent

who undoubtedly
needs medical care.

Hmm?

My dear, a wounded man could
easily die without proper care.

Miss Chernus,

you are very pretty.

There are ways, unpleasant
ways, to make you cooperate.

Sometimes they leave scars,
the prettiness is no longer.

Well, then that's
up to you, isn't it?

McGARRETT: Okay,
let's put the receipts here,

bills here and everything
else over there.

Hey, a lot of these are
from cheap reproductions.

Medals, emblems.

Mostly from Hong Kong.

Well, here's a bill from
Taiwan for military uniforms.

And here's one for a
thousand dollars for a sword.

This one's for a medal, $500.

Well, you can bet the sword and
the medal aren't reproductions.

Make a separate pile for the
expensive items right here,

will you, please?

Wow, I think I see
a pattern emerging.

Well, I'm glad you do, Steve.

Listen to this.

One thousand dollars paid in cash
by R. Shipman for a Grand Cross,

whatever that is,
presented to Rudolph Hess.

Two thousand paid
in cash by R. Shipman

for a letter to Hitler
signed by Rommel.

And here's another R.
Shipman item, cash $1,500.

Ship~~

Ship~~ Shipman.

That girl who called
about the coded cablegram,

she said the other Israeli agent
kept repeating a word like Ship.

Couldn't it be Shipman?

Why not?

Here's an address
for R. Shipman.

Check him out, Kimo.

All right, Steve.

Marvelous. Fantastic.

Uh, did you collect all
these things personally?

Yes, inexpensive
reproductions for the department.

We have a small
budget. I do my best.

Do you collect other
things for yourself?

Oh, no.

Nothing important.

On my salary, I can't.

No, of course not.

Uh, professor, do you,
uh, know Yuri Bloch?

Of course I know of him.

But not personally.

No, of course not. Why should I?

Uh, yes, why would you?

Uh, these receipts,
professor, um,

did you buy these?

On, uh, your modest salary?

I'd like a straight
answer, please.

Well, I bought them on
speculation with my own money.

~ Hmm. Where are they? ~
Oh, I'm afraid I can't tell you that.

That would be a violation of
the confidence of my collectors.

Well, you didn't buy
these on speculation.

~ You bought these on commission.
~ Yes, well, sometimes I do.

I mean, a collector
has to pay a higher price

if it's known he's
interested in the piece.

Well, you see, Yuri Bloch
went to Larry Akaela's shop

or he contacted
him, uh, about this.

Um...

Do you, um...?

Do you recognize
this, professor?

I know what it is.

It's a Knight's Cross with
oak leaves and Berlins.

I've never seen one before.

But it's something that your
collector might be interested in.

Possibly.

You see, Yuri Bloch thought
this might be a link to Emil Klaus.

But there's another
link, a missing link.

It's you, professor.

Ha, ha. Nonsense.

Ha~ha~ha. Absolute nonsense.

Who is this collector
that, uh, commissions you

to pay these high prices
for these expensive pieces?

~ Emil Klaus? ~ Ridiculous.

Oak leaves and Berlins.

He's, uh, Adrian Cassell.
I've known him for years.

~ About three? ~ Yes.

But what has Mr. Cassell
got to do with Emil Klaus?

You don't know, do you?

Know what?

All right.

All right, where do I find
this guy, uh, this Mr. Cassell?

He's got an estate near Kaneohe,
but I think you're making a big mistake.

Stick to your books, professor.

Steve, the man's
name is Adrian Cassell.

He lives out near Kaneohe.

He could be a real article or he
could be one hell of a facsimile.

McGARRETT: Okay,
Kimo, good. I'll let you know.

Again, who is your second agent?

Ah, our guests from Vienna.

The plane must be even
earlier than anticipated.

Let her think it over.

~ Mr. Adrian Cassell? ~ Yes?

McGarrett, Hawaii Five~0.

~ Yes? ~ I understand
that you're a collector

of military antiques,
medals, memorabilia.

Well, it's my hobby,
yes. But why?

There's a possibility
that you've been sold

some stolen merchandise.

Really?

Well, come in, Mr. McGarrett.
My collection's in the library.

I still don't understand
why the police would think

that any of my collection
would be suspect.

Just a routine
follow~up, Mr. Cassell.

~ Well, may I? ~ Please.

I see the Nazi forces
are well represented.

Kind of depressing.

This is my Third Reich group.

Uh, I try to keep things
separated, cataloged, you know.

What do you suspect was
stolen, specifically, Mr. McGarrett?

I'll know it when I see it.

Where did you get
these, by the way?

Ah, every collector
has his secrets.

Secrets are always suspect,
aren't they, Mr. Cassell?

Do you know a Professor Shipman?

Up at the university?

Shipman, uh...

Of course. I do business
with him, uh, on commission.

Oh, he has an
eye for the unusual.

This group of rare medals I got
from a, uh, chap in, uh, San Francisco.

Very interesting.

~ May I? ~ Uh, exquisite
detail work in this

is incredible, don't you think?

Yes, I agree.

May I?

Uh, that's for amateurs.
I think you'll find this one

infinitely more interesting.

The Battle of Hastings, first
edition, written by the duke of Saxby.

Well...

Thank you.

It must have taken you
years to compile this collection.

Indeed.

I take it then, Mr. McGarrett,
everything is in order.

No questionable property.

Nothing I can see. Thank you.

Goodbye then, Mr. McGarrett.

Mr. McGarrett,
what's the matter?

McGARRETT: Hold it!

Who are you?

Mr. McGarrett, I'm sure
that Cassell is Emil Klaus.

Yeah? Prove it.

I work for the Israeli government.
I arrived this afternoon.

Please, about Cassell.

What about him?

What about him?

Yuri was on a special mission.

There's a clue you might know.

A Knight's Cross?

You'd better be
telling the truth, pal.

You understand that?

What's going on here?

I saw him sneaking
around. He tried to run away.

There's an APB from San Francisco
that fits this guy's description perfectly.

Keep an eye on him.

I'm going to go for assistance.

Mr. McGarrett.

That's private property.

Mr. McGarrett, you have
misrepresented your mission here.

Have I, Mr. Klaus?

You do me honor, but
how can you call me Klaus?

I just saw an
organizational list

and plans for the
rebirth of the Nazi party.

Countries, names,
contacts, finances, the works.

Well, I collect
things like that too.

Oh, what about the lady in
there? Is she part of your collection?

She, like you, intruded
in my private affairs.

And like you, she must
suffer the consequences.

You still haven't
answered my question.

Your Emil Klaus.

If you find him,

there's only one man
who can identify him

who knows him by sight.

That man, Yuri Bloch, is dead.

Is he?

Tell your friend to
put down his gun

or you're a dead man,

Mr. Emil Klaus.

Put it down.

Put it on the floor.
Slide it over here.

But how can it be?

He wants to know how
Yuri Bloch survived.

It's~~ It's impossible.

All right, come out.
Untie her in there.

Sit down, both of you.

Yes, Mr. McGarrett.

I am Yuri Bloch.

You, get over
there. Get over there.

Stay quietly.

I am sorry.

I took advantage of you.

When Joel was killed,

I took his identity.

But why?

I had heard of you.

Your reputation.

I knew you would carry
on where I could not.

It was my last chance
to catch up with Klaus

before he made
others of his kind.

And that's why you
left the Knight's Cross

in the dead man's clothes, for
me to find, give me a lead, huh?

Yes.

I'm sorry, Anne.

I did not want to risk
you being caught like this,

so I didn't tell you everything.

I see. That Knight's Cross
led us to Larry Akaela,

to the memorabilia shop and
to Professor Shipman, huh?

Yes, I hoped it would.

The professor only knew of a
collector by the name of Adrian Cassell.

And this Adrian
Cassell, this Klaus,

told him he would
meet me instead.

But how did you get here?

We followed your man,
Carew, to Professor Shipman.

He told us where we
could find Adrian Cassell.

He told "us"? What
do you mean "us"?

Mr. McGarrett.

McGARRETT: Hold it.

Please.

We both came here together.

I knew that Yuri might
be at the safe house.

And when I got there,
his fever had just broken.

Ha. That was very
quick thinking out front.

Thank you. You were the man who
ran from the coroner's office today.

Yes, sir. When I saw that
the dead man wasn't Yuri,

I couldn't wait around
to answer any questions.

You three are under arrest
for complicity in the murders

of Larry Akaela and Joel
Rudel, also for kidnapping.

Finally, after three years,

it's over.

But it's not quite
over. Not yet.

We still have some visitors
from Austria we have to welcome.

Isn't that right?

Flight number 103
from Mexico City

now arriving at Gate 38.

Flight number 104 from
Chicago now arriving at Gate 31.

~ Flight number 104 Chicago~~
WOMAN 2: Welcome to the island.

~~now arriving at Gate 31.

Okay, Kimo, book them.

What's the charge, Steve?

Traveling under false passport.

The more serious ones
will take a little longer.
