Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 2, Episode 11 - Leopard on the Rock - full transcript

A emergency landing in Hawaii of an Asian dictator causes major problems for Five-O and McGarrett.

Wind velocity steady.

On course, on time,
et cetera, and so forth.

President Jhakal awake yet?

Awake and indulging
in his favorite pastime.

John? Those bodyguards of his,

do they ever talk?

Not with their tongues.

The way they talk, Alec,
you wouldn't want them to.

We are on schedule?

Yes, Your Excellency.

What is it? I don't know.



Move, idiot. Find out!

Alec, what's the trouble?

Air brakes
malfunction. I can't...

There.

Okay?

For now.

But we're not
continuing on to Geneva.

We're a little more than
two hours out of Honolulu.

I'm gonna radio ahead for
permission to change course

and land for
inspection and repairs.

And the Hawaii Tourist Bureau

has predicted that
the tourist invasion

will go over two
million this year,

taxing the aloha spirit
of the islands and...



We've just received a bulletin.

Honolulu air traffic control

reports that a jet
en route to Geneva

has radioed for
permission to land

for inspection and repairs.

It is the personal plane
of President Utomo Jhakal,

which took off from
his nation's capital

a little more than
five hours ago

for a two-week tour of capitals
in Latin America and Europe

on a goodwill and trade mission.

Jhakal has been called, by
some political commentators,

the savior of Asia, by
others, the Asiatic Hitler.

The pilot of the plane,
Captain Alec MacLeod,

has reported some malfunctioning

in the air-flap controls...

Bloody trustworthy,
that MacLeod.

Knew he wouldn't fail us.

Not when the stake is
a share in $10 million.

Our share is bigger.

Yeah. So is our risk.

When the plane touches down,

Hawaii will be the
host to the only two men

ever to run for president
of Jhakal's country:

Jhakal himself,
and Akbar Savang,

visiting professor of
Eastern Philosophies

at Hawaii University.

Savang, now in exile,

has been teaching
at universities

here and in Europe,

as well as acting
as titular head

of a shadow
opposition government.

And you won that
election, grandfather.

Yes, but he had the
generals and the guns.

What are you going to do?

What would you have
me do, Banu? Kill him?

Yes, if you could.

Kill him.

The plane will be landing

at Honolulu
International Airport

in approximately two hours.

In Wall Street today, early...

Good morning to you,
Jenny. Have you heard?

Heard what? Where's Steve?

Don't know. Heard what?

Utomo Jhakal is making
an emergency landing.

Fidel Castro would be
more popular in Miami.

Boss... I heard.

I need you, brother.
Jenny, get me the governor.

No calls, please.

We got approximately
an hour and 55 minutes

to prepare.

Chin... contact the
State Department.

Tell them we need an
immediate computer run

on all alien registration cards

from natives of
Jhakal's country.

Then check the employment
records at the airport.

Anyone from Jhakal's country
is to be temporarily suspended.

Right. Oh, wait a minute.

Same procedure on
any, uh, supply companies

and trucks that... That
service the, uh, airport.

On my way.

Kono...

This is the area.

This is where most of
the aliens and émigrés

from Jhakal's
country have located.

Right in here.

Uh, contact HPD.

Tell them we need
patrols in the whole area.

Particularly cafés,
uh, ethnic clubs,

and political organizations.

Just surveillance?
Just surveillance.

We don't want to
prevent demonstrations,

just control them.

Right.

Morning, brother. Just
the man I'm looking for.

Danno, I want you
to... Yes, Jenny?

Yes, of course. Put him on.

Yes, governor. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir, I heard.

No, sir, I don't think
that's necessary.

I... I think it might
provoke more trouble

than it would solve.

Yes, sir, a standby
would be fine.

No, no. I won't
hesitate to call.

Yes, sir. Thank you very much.

Danno, get out to the
airport. Check normal security.

Find out how many additional men

we'll need to cover
every entrance.

Right. I'll join
you at the field

soon as I'm
finished. Doing what?

Trying to keep one
match away from the fuse.

Ah.

I can include some
remarks from Buddha today.

Aren't you going to do anything?

Certainly, Banu.

Continue teaching my
classes at the university.

I don't understand you.

My mother, my
father, your own son

died in Jhakal's prisons.

Have you forgotten that?

I haven't forgotten.

And still you will do nothing.

Do you have a suggestion, Banu?

Demand that the American
State Department intern him.

Banu. He is the president
of a sovereign nation.

The illegal head.

That is not the American
government's responsibility.

Then whose?

The American government supports
anyone who isn't a communist.

Including a... A murderer.

A... A butcher like Jhakal.

Can't you demand that...?

All right, all right.

Demand. Demand. I'll do that.

I'll demand that
evil be destroyed.

I'll demand that poverty
and misery be abolished.

I'll demand the perfect world.

I have demanded.

And other than a hoarse
voice, I've accomplished nothing.

Banu...

I tell you that when
I do something...

I will do more than demand.

Professor Savang?

Mr. McGarrett, head of Five-0.

Come in.

Thank you.

My granddaughter.

It's hard enough
understanding young people.

But with her parents dead...

I'm afraid there's a
double-generation gap.

Come in. Please sit down.

Uh, no, thank you.

Oh.

I, uh, gather you're here

because Jhakal will
be arriving soon, huh?

Your countrymen are
not particularly fond

of the president.

Mr. McGarrett, you have
a gift for understatement,

but why come to me?

I need your help.

Help? How can I help?

Public statement on
radio and television.

An appeal to your
countrymen, your followers here,

not to provoke any kind of
demonstrations or disorders.

You're asking too much.

I will not call on men
to betray their principles.

All right.

Would you promise not to
make any statement at all?

Would that help you?

It might.

All right, Mr. McGarrett.

That I can promise
you. Thank you.

Yes. You're welcome.
Uh, Mr. McGarrett,

you have an extremely
difficult job ahead of you.

Jhakal had many personal
as well as political enemies.

I know.

Your son died in
his prison, didn't he?

In this case, Mr. McGarrett,

the word "prison..."

is a euphemism.

The people who lived nearby...

had to cover their ears.

The screams... kept
them awake at night.

"Vengeance is
mine," sayeth the Lord.

No, Mr. McGarrett,

I don't believe in
personal vengeance.

But there are many people
who have lost relatives...

who do.

Here he is.

You fool. Be quiet.

Hello, Bao.

Hello. Make me a
hamburger, will you?

Sure.

Where is everybody?

They all die or some...?

Please, Meilang.
You can't succeed.

At least I'll have tried.

But you have no plan.

Plans we had in the
campaign against Jhakal.

We had the ballots too.

Savang has said... Savang?

He does nothing
but make speeches...

while Jhakal grinds our
country under his heel.

All things take time, Meilang.

I have no time.

Jhakal always
speaks of his destiny.

How the gods
watch over his fate.

Well, this time the
gods sent him here.

And the gods sent a driver
on his way to the airport.

So like Jhakal, I
don't mock them,

but take the
opportunity they present.

Hey, Banu. Hi, Sasha.

Got here as soon as we could.

Oh, that's fine. Get your
signs from Khandow.

Hey, Pepe. You wanna stick
another dime in the meter?

Phyllis? Mickey Devlin.

Demonstration at the airport.

Protesting the
arrival of Jhakal.

About a half hour.
Can you make it?

Good. Look, get everybody
you can and get down here.

Banu, I'm out of
dimes. You got any?

Oh... No.

Kensey, give Mickey some dimes.

Looks like the authorities
will be kept busy.

Anything to keep the attention

on Jhakal, off the plane.

If he leaves the money on it.

Oh, I doubt he'll carry
$10 million around with him.

And he's in no position
to seek protection for it...

since he's stealing it from
his own country's treasury.

I'll see if I can find out
which maintenance hangar

they're preparing.
You check the area.

See how extensive
the security is.

Right.

Announcing Flight 14

from New York and Los Angeles,

now arriving at Gate 8.

Flight 427 will level off

at 8,000 feet and circle until
cleared for landing approach.

How long are we
gonna be stacked up?

The field is being kept clear

for an emergency landing.

You'll get an approach
pattern as soon as possible.

Okay, Chin, what do you got?

The alien registration
card shows eight natives

of Jhakal's country
working here.

They've been suspended
with pay until Jhakal leaves.

We're also checking
the service vehicles

before they enter the field.

Good. Kono?

I checked with
employment records...

Look, I said... Oh?

All right. Send him in.

Who?

The consul from
Jhakal's country.

He insists on seeing you.

Oh. Mr. McGarrett.

Yes.

Luang Koryo.

We met at a reception...
for the governor.

Oh?

I was concerned about
security precautions

for my president.

But now that I see you

and the Hawaii Five-0
people are in charge,

I needn't worry.
McGARRETT: Well, thank you.

Uh, not that anyone would
want to harm President Jhakal.

No.

But there are always
a few malcontents,

such as those demonstrators
at the airport entrance.

You'll disperse them, naturally.

Mr., uh...?

Koryo.

Mr. Koryo, in this country,

we don't disperse or
prevent demonstrations.

We just see that they're
conducted lawfully.

What do you hear from HPD, Kono?

The refugees are trying to
round up everyone they can

for a big demonstration.

The longer Jhakal's
here, the bigger it'll be.

Hopefully, that won't be long.

Are you all set up for
inspection and repair?

Yes. We have senior
mechanics on standby.

We've set aside Hangar
27 for Jhakal's plane only.

Our problem is we have no idea

what's wrong or
the work involved.

I anticipated that,
Mr. McGarrett...

and reserved a suite
at the Leilani Hotel

for President Jhakal.

You'll provide security
there, of course.

If Jhakal's there,
we'll be there.

What about chartering another
plane for President Jhakal

and his party, so that they
can take off right away?

We'll send his plane
back when it's repaired.

Good idea. What about it...?

President Jhakal will not agree.

He is very particular
about being surrounded

by familiar things and people.

Well, it won't hurt to check.

What about it, Mr. Abbott?

Is there a plane available
for immediate charter?

I can certainly find out.

Yes?

Tower? Put 'em on, please.

Yes.

Thank you.

Jhakal's plane is
approaching the field.

They'll be on the
ground in minutes.

At 4,000 feet,

make a 90-degree turn to come in

over the east end of the
field toward Landing Strip 2.

Rate of descent, normal.

Touchdown speed not to
exceed 225 miles per hour.

Will comply.

Will comply. Out.

I'll take it. Check the
flaps and landing gear.

Flaps and landing gear,
check. Pressure, okay.

Fasten seat belts.

For two years, I have
tried to get an invitation

for a state visit to America.

Always avoided.

Now I will not only be
an unwelcome guest...

but also uninvited.

That gas truck is
going to ram the plane.

Book him.

Gods do watch over him.

How long?

Not sure.

Twenty-four, maybe 36 hours.

Captain wants a complete check

of the plane's entire
electrical and hydraulic system.

Uh, by the time we
get it all checked out...

What about that idea of
chartering another plane?

No. Jhakal won't go for it.

What are you going to do?

Protect him from his beloved
countrymen, of course.

Well, it looks like
24 to 36 hours.

Then I am to stay at
least a day on your island.

Your Excellency, I
have already reserved

a lovely suite at
the Leilani for you.

Security?

McGARRETT: Extensive.

Considering you
won't be using it.

His Excellency will not
be cooped up on this plane

while it's being repaired.

Oh, no, Mr. Koryo.

His Excellency will
not be cooped up.

We'll be using the
suite at the Leilani,

but, uh, President
Jhakal will not be in it.

But I-I don't understand.

Security of a different kind.

It'll be occupied by
one of my men, Kono.

Very clever.

But I was hoping to
see Hawaii. Enjoy it.

It's very unfortunate,
this climate of...

How do they say it?

Climate of violence in America.

This, uh... climate
of violence in America

is being created by your own
countrymen, Mr. President.

Mr. McGarrett, you
are a policeman,

not a politician.

Exactly. And I'm concerned
with facts, not opinions.

Then you are misinformed!

Anyone who lives in Hawaii

cannot be considered
one of my countrymen!

In my country, I am a savior.

I am worshiped.

Of course, Your Excellency.

And these are your followers.

I consider this
very unprofessional.

And I consider it a lot of work.

Danno.

Not yet, Mr. McGarrett.

Our business has not concluded.

Where is the prisoner?
The assassin?

He's being booked.

That means he will
be severely punished?

That means he'll
be questioned...

By me, of course.

No, sir. By me.

In my country... he
would beg to talk.

And he would talk
until his mouth ran dry.

What will you do?

Slap him on the wrist?

What happens to him now

is the business of
the State of Hawaii.

He tried to kill me!

It is my business!

What His Excellency
means... Silence!

An attack on me is
not an ordinary crime!

Mr. McGarrett knows very well.

He knows exactly what I mean.

Yes, Mr. President. I know
exactly what you mean.

And that's why you
won't get any closer to him

than he got to you.

Danno, make the
arrangement for Kono.

Right.

Down with Jhakal.

Down with Jhakal.
Down with Jhakal.

Down with Jhakal.

Mickey! Mickey.

Mickey, they're
bringing Jhakal in now.

We've got to stop them.
Make a real protest.

How? Make a human chain.

What? A wall.

Jhakal's coming. Let's go.

Hey, I could get
used to this kind of life.

Don't get too
comfortable, brother.

Prison for the tyrant.

We shall not be moved.

Prison for the tyrant.

We shall not be moved.

Prison for the tyrant.

We shall not be moved.

Prison for the tyrant.

We shall not be moved.

Prison for the tyrant.

We shall not be moved.

Prison for the tyrant.

We shall not be moved.

Prison for the tyrant.

We shall not be moved.

You happen to be
obstructing traffic.

Prison for the tyrant.

Said you happen to
be obstructing traffic.

That's the idea.

In violation of traffic
ordinance 7382.

Why did you stop?

Why didn't you just run over us?

Like Jhakal has
crushed our nation.

That man belongs in jail.

He's a murderer.

That's not up to
me. I'm not his judge.

Well, who is?

The establishment
owns the judges.

They own the pigs.

When does the shooting start?

Why don't you just mow us down?

Nobody's gonna be mown down,

and nobody's gonna be shot down.

Why not?

Jhakal and their police
never stopped before.

I don't work for Jhakal.

You do his bidding.

I work for Hawaii Five-0...

the department of the
state government of Hawaii.

Grandfather was right, Mickey.

What?

Demands and demonstrations

are a waste of time.

We did what we could. We tried.

Oh, we tried. And we failed.

Hey, we'll find out
where he is. And we'll...

And protest?

Oh, no, Mickey. No
one respects protest.

They only respect
what they fear.

And they fear violence.

Well...?

They're using Hangar
27 on the far side of field.

It's tougher to get to. Yes.

But once we get there,

considerably easier
to operate unnoticed.

How's the security?

As near as I can
tell, most of it just left.

Leaving that winged
bird lightly tended

for us to pluck in the
middle of the night.

Let's return to the
hotel for a swim

to put us in the
proper frame of mind

for the night's work ahead.

We're ready, Mr. President.

In a moment.

State papers and
trade agreements.

They can't be left
unguarded in the plane.

I could keep them at the consul

for safety, Your Excellency.

They will be safe enough.

Not you, Mr. Koryo.

What?

Only my men will know
where the president is staying.

I find that
implication insulting.

Your Excellency, will
you tell this gentleman?

Mr. McGarrett may have a point.

You question my
loyalty, Your Excellency?

Mr. McGarrett is a cautious man.

I respect caution.

As you wish, sir.

May I point out...

that you will be out of
touch with the government

for a considerable
length of time.

As I said, I respect caution.

Koryo will accompany us.

McGARRETT: I don't recommend it.

He will accompany us.

Very well, sir.

How dare you.

I have diplomatic immunity.

As the president says...

I am a cautious man.

Keep me informed of all
governmental communications.

Yes, Your Excellency.
This way, sir.

Tail him. Consul?

Jhakal doesn't trust
anyone. Neither do I.

McGARRETT: You'll
get the file in the morning.

Chin on one, boss. Important.

Thanks, Jenny.

Yeah, Chin? Go.

Good. Good.

H-O-O-D. Hood-Clovis
and Walters.

Yeah.

Yeah, I got it, Chin.

Good. Thank you. Nice work.

Koryo met with these two men.

Hood-Clovis and Walters.

They're registered at the
Ilikai. Run a make on them.

Check, uh, ship manifests,
airlines, everything.

Right.

Jenny... uh, call HPD.

Tell 'em we need double
security on the Leilani Hotel.

As though Jhakal
was really there.

Kono is.

And a bullet marked for
Jhakal won't detour for him.

He's clean.

Linens.

We have to check them.

Wow, now, look at that food.

There's a lot to be said
about living like a dictator.

Who pays for all this?

The sovereign state of Hawaii.

I think.

For my mother and father.

Oh.

I could have killed you.

A man I don't even know.

I could have killed you.

Oh.

Hood-Clovis, Malcolm. No alias.

English national. Arrested
for burglary in California.

Served two years.

Also served time in the Union
of South Africa and Australia.

Not wanted for
anything at present.

Walters, Earl.

Alias Bert Harman,
alias Martin Hager.

Indicted twice for armed
robbery. No convictions.

Drafted by Army,
currently listed as AWOL

from 53rd Chemical
Warfare Battalion.

Stationed in Utah.

When I was a kid, my
old man taught us a rhyme.

He had six honest serving
men, they taught him all he knew.

Their names were Where
and When and What and Why

and How and Who.

What is their connection
with, uh, Koryo, Danno?

Yeah, Jenny.

Yeah, sure. Put him on.

Chin, what do you got?

Akbar Savang's now?

And Koryo is with him?

No, no, no. No, no.

Bring them both
in for questioning.

Right away. Good.

Interesting.

What's that?

Koryo and Savang are together.

Savang?

Wasn't he the former
head of government?

Yeah. And Koryo is the consul
for the present government.

Add that up.

No way. On the face of it,
they ought to be enemies.

It looks like they're
in business together.

When we dig under
the surface of this thing,

I have a feeling that the pilot
of Jhakal's plane is in on it.

No mechanical failure.

No mechanical failure.

Pilot plan.

All of this.

I might just as well
have stayed on the plane.

Take it away!

Where is Hawaii?

Pardon?

Is it out there?!

I have seen nothing
but the inside

of a truck and this room.

Open the drapes.

I'm sorry, Mr. President.

But Mr. McGarrett
gave us strict orders...

Orders?!

I am a head of state.

The precautions are
for your own safety, sir.

Only the weak feed themselves

with so much caution.

Habu.

Mr. Koryo and I
are personal friends.

You're supposed to
be political enemies.

Man's politics are his business.

Not when illegally practiced
in somebody else's country.

And not when two
criminals are involved.

I had no idea Mr. Hood-Clovis
and Walters were criminals.

Oh. Just, uh, personal friends.

Acquaintances, yes.

And you expect me to
believe that none of this

has anything to do
with President Jhakal?

Mr. McGarrett...

I would never consider
harming Jhakal.

There's no quicker way
of making a man a martyr.

And martyrdom is a gift I
have no desire to make.

Yeah. What gift do
you desire to make?

I know my rights
under the Constitution.

I demand to be
charged or released.

McGarrett.

What?

Is he all right?

No, no. No. Not yet. No.

No, hold her until I
can get back to you.

Yes. Right away.

It seems that not everybody
in your family feels as you do

about making a
martyr out of Jhakal.

I... I don't understand.

Your granddaughter
just tried to kill him.

It's impossible. She does
not know where he is.

Well, she thought she did.

She took a shot at the man
I had standing in for him.

She's only a child.

McGARRETT: Then
you accept responsibility

for her action?

What...? What do you mean?

I want some answers right now,
when they can do some good.

Are you using my
granddaughter to threaten me?

I don't threaten
anybody, professor.

I'm telling you that the charges

against your granddaughter

can be greatly influenced
by your cooperation,

or your lack of it.

I'm sorry, Koryo.

I can only hope we've
already succeeded.

All right, Mr. McGarrett.

Jhakal has been...

systematically
looting our country.

He's been transferring
funds from the treasury...

into Swiss numbered accounts.

He's carrying 10 million
in Swiss francs, pounds

and American
dollars on this trip.

And you and Koryo
plan to have it stolen

by Hood-Clovis and Walters, huh?

Well, it travels by diplomatic
dispatch, immune from search.

Yes, we were
planning to have it...

stolen, but publicly returned.

The publicity would be
enough to overthrow Jhakal.

If you ever see the money.

Let's go.

Get the back.

Freeze!

Hold it.

Drop it.

Drop it!

What kind of gas did you use?

It's an experimental
gas from the Army.

Lethal?

No. It'll wear off
in an hour or so.

It better. Book him.

Get the loot.

Impound it for
material evidence.

Well... Jhakal's theft
has been exposed,

and the money is safe.

We accomplished
what we set out to do...

as you did.

No apologies, Mr. McGarrett.

No regrets.

Thank you for your help.

Don't thank me.

You're both under arrest.

Book 'em.
