Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 2, Episode 20 - Cry, Lie - full transcript

In the vicinity of
Trawler. Twelve F3.

Twelve F3, gentlemen.

All set, Danny. Let's go.

850 Sycamore, Code 2.

7X8, clear.

1A1, clear.

484, Code 6.

11A, standby.

Amuru. Police.

Hold it! Police.

Get back in there.



Up against the wall.

What's going on?
What's this all about?

You know what it's all about.

Now, you get tough,
we'll get tough with you.

You got a warrant? Yeah, yeah.

Now strip. And don't be bashful.

He's got all the stuff
to cut it and package it.

Hell, let's see if we can
find where he hides it.

Williams. Yeah?

Amuru's come up
with a funny story.

I think you'd better hear it.

Is he with Five-0? Yeah.

You stinking crook. I've
been paying you guys money.

Is this the kind of
protection you give?



Protection?

Protection. Protection.

Five-0 was to lay off my back.

And if another
department moved in,

you were to tip
me off before a raid.

That's an interesting lie.

Twelve hundred bucks
I paid for protection.

Didn't I, Kelly?

Beg your pardon?

No pardons, Kelly. You
stuck a knife in my back,

and now I'm
gonna stick it to you.

You and all of Five-0.

Keoki.

Steve.

Where is he?

In there.

Claims he's gonna
blow the whistle on us,

all the way to court. Let him.

Ain't no big thing. We're clean.

Is he?

No.

Found about two
ounces of heroin.

Figures.

Craig. Steve.

My name is McGarrett.
I'm with Five-0.

Now, suppose you
tell me your story.

I've been over it a dozen times.

Well, let's try it again.

Now, how did you set this
deal you claim to have made?

I met a guy... two months ago.

Said he had contact with
Five-0, and was I interested?

We talked about it,

then he got down to numbers.

I said, "I wanna see the man."

That's when I had
a meeting with Kelly.

Who was the guy you met?

Who was the guy you met?

I don't remember his name.

And where did you
say you met Kelly?

Ala Moana Park. When?

Ah. Month ago.

Tuesday, 11 p.m.

You got a good memory.

Go on.

So he spelled it out.

Two hundred a week,
and you guys will lay off.

Anybody else moved
in, you'd tip me.

And you've been
paying ever since?

Six times.

Who did you give the money to?

Nobody. It was a drop.

I'd get a call here every
Monday night about 9.

From this man who said
he was Chin Ho Kelly?

It was him. I got in a
car right alongside him.

'65 two-door blue
sedan, if you're interested.

Oh, I'm interested.

You're not gonna sweep
this one under the rug.

No. I'm gonna pull the rug
back on this one all the way.

But you better be very positive

about your
information, Mr. Amuru.

Because a man's good name
and reputation is at stake.

Your bloody mary, Mr. Brohme.

We had no idea there'd be
anything like this involved.

We try to avoid publicity.

It's nothing to be afraid of.

You gotta learn
to use the media.

And particularly we
don't like violence.

Unfortunately, some violence

has always been
connected with progress.

Unfortunately, I say.

How about that? A hole in one.

Let's stick to the subject.

We've had a lot of
experience over the years.

Yeah, yeah. I know.

Bad days, the old days,

hard times, nothing but trouble.

That's right.

That's yesterday, not today.

Today, things are different.

All right, look. I'll lay it
out for you once more.

A, the recent scandal with
the Public Utilities Commission

has got the governor terrified

on the whole
subject of corruption.

B, we learned in law school
that the police can only react

in a limited number of
ways to any given situation.

They're predictable. That
makes them vulnerable.

Ipso facto, Q.E.D.

A and B together puts
them out of the picture

and gives us a lot
more room to operate.

I don't think McGarrett's
that easy to push.

Nonsense. I
pushed you, didn't I?

And you didn't think I would.

I got you to invest
in this project.

And believe me, it's the
best money you'll ever spend.

When will this
project of yours end?

What's funny?

You. Your anxiety.

You're like an old businessman,
afraid to try something new.

I am a businessman...

and I've got a lot to lose.

Well, that's a chance you take

when you wanna become
part of the Establishment.

Even if it's the crooked part.

You haven't
answered my question.

This project will end
when they indict McGarrett.

Come in.

Sit down, Chin.

Want some coffee?

No. Thank you.

This is very hard
for me to say, Chin.

But I... I love
you like a brother.

And that goes for every
other man on this staff.

We've been through
some rough times together,

but this is one of the roughest.

I've gotta find out
who's lying and why.

Sure, Steve. I understand.

Now...

most of Amuru's
story can't be checked.

He said that he
met you last month

on Tuesday the 4th at 11 p.m.

in Ala Moana Park
and made the deal.

That man sure's
got a good memory.

Yeah. That impressed me too.

Thanks, Danno.

Logbook says that
you signed out at...

8:15 on the 4th.

Where did you go?

Seven weeks ago.

Usually, I guess I was home.

No fights on Tuesday night.

No bowling.

No church.

I-I guess I was home.

Chin, I'm not going to, uh...

dignify the charges against you,

but I'd like to ask a favor.

Not for me, but
for the doubters.

I wanna clear the air.

I wanna clear your good name.

I wanna be able to
report to the governor

with absolute
scientific certainty.

I wanna put you
on the polygraph.

Sure, Steve. The
sooner the better.

First, I'll ask a series
of non-related questions

in order to get a norm on you.

Your full name is Chin Ho Kelly?

Yes.

You're a citizen of
the United States?

Yes.

Relax.

You're a citizen of
the United States?

Yes.

That's all there is to it.
That's the whole story.

I agree it wouldn't
be right to print it.

It's front-page stuff,

but I'm not going to
keep this fire going.

Thanks, Dave. It
could only hurt Chin.

Wouldn't do you any good either.

That's not what
I'm concerned with.

Well, if anything
unusual shows up

in the lie-detector test...

It won't. But you're
welcome to see it.

Jenny, get me the governor.

Next question.

Prior to last night, to the
best of your knowledge,

had you ever met Jerry Amuru?

No.

Did you at any time,
directly or indirectly,

ever accept a bribe from him?

No.

I gave him the whole story.

He's not gonna
do anything with it.

Dave Garland's a
responsible reporter,

but he'll do some
digging on his own.

You know my position, Steve.

After that last mess,
any sign of corruption,

and I'll jump on
it with both feet.

And keep me current.
I don't like surprises.

Yes, sir. I don't
like them either.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Not so much on
the first two runs.

But after he settled
down some...

completely consistent.

You see here... and here.

Let me have a copy of the
report as soon as you can.

Uh, Mr. McGarrett.

I won't put this in the report.

It's only an impression.

I don't know if
you're interested.

I am.

Well, he's more upset
over this than he shows.

Much more.

Thanks, Ken.

What are you gonna do,

take the rest of
the afternoon off?

I thought I'd wait,

get the word,
before I hit the road.

Like a rose, Chin.

Like a rose.

Now, how about
a little work, huh?

Hi.

Hi, Dad. Hi, Pop.

Is everybody all right?

Yeah. Uh-huh.

It's kind of late, isn't it?

Mom said we could.

Daddy. Tilda.

Tilda, come back here.
- Be quiet.

Hey, hold it down, will you?

Tim... how did you
make out on that test?

I'm on the telephone.
Dad just got home.

Boy, it's murder
trying to carry on

some type of
relevant conversation.

I'll do that.

Everything all right?

What's the trouble?

A man, a narcotics dealer...

said I took a bribe from him.

How much?

Twelve hundred dollars.

That's not enough.

When I think of all the
things we can do with it...

that's not enough.

Talk to him.

See if he can't make it more.

The first Tuesday of
last month, the 4th...

was I home around 11?

I don't know.

See if you can remember.

Ask the kids, especially Tim.

You're their father.
You ask them.

They're with you
more. They talk to you.

This has you worried.

It's happened before.

It's one of those things.

All right.

I'll ask them.

Mr. Calhao.

Yeah, Ray?

We're all set. Any time.

Well, make it loud.

It'll be so loud,

the governor's
windows will rattle.

All right, I'll be listening.

No tricks.

I talked to his wife. She
said Chin's gone fishing.

Get him back here fast.

Right.

Okay, those are the
distribution points...

and these are dates.

Six times.

Mm-hm. Once a week.

How much did you deliver?

Oh, like today, 5 grand.

Only this time, I wasn't
expecting a hijack.

Bit too much, man.

Who are you working for?

I don't know.

Whose money is that?

I don't know. I mean...

I feel that there's
something big going on here.

And the less I know
about the situation,

the better off I'm gonna be.

You're a small-time
hustler and purse-snatcher.

You've been busted
for every petty crime,

including rolling a drunk.

Nobody in his right mind would
trust you alone with $5,000.

It's the truth.

And, uh, you get very protective

about your employer's
money, huh?

Since when did you get so loyal?

Look, these guys
are playing for keeps.

They'll blow up a cabbie
for 10 bucks change.

What do you think
they'd do to me?

I was scared.

Of whom?

Carl Brohme and his pals?

I don't know. Yes, you do know.

And you know something else?

You've been left
holding the bag.

Listen, I'm trying to
cooperate with you guys.

McGARRETT: Let's go
back to the beginning.

This guy you claim you've
been delivering the money to.

What did he look like?

Oriental. Probably Chinese.

5'10 ", 5'11".

Weight... maybe 230.

Word is, he's a cop.

Yeah, whose word?

It's out.

You hear it.

Would you know him
if you saw him again?

Sure.

You're gonna get your chance.

Do you see him?

Mm-hm. Fourth from the right.

How long were you
on the dock, Chin?

An hour and a half.

Did you see anybody?

No. Just Kono when
he came to get me.

But what you mean
is, did anybody see me?

Uh, what happened?
Do I need an alibi?

Well, it would help,
my friend. Would help.

The lie detector's
not infallible.

I didn't say it was, sir.

But with a good
operator it's close,

and Ken Stone
is one of the best.

But that's not
what I'm going on.

Chin has been a
cop for 22 years.

First with H.P.D.
and then with Five-0.

He's a highly-skilled
police officer.

He's got four commendations,
two citations for bravery.

He's an honest man.

He would no more take a bribe

than you would or I would.

There are one or two
gentlemen uh, on the other aisle

that, uh, might
not consider that

much of a character reference.

You have no proof...

that he was where
he said he was.

No physical proof.

But I have his word.

Steve, I wonder if it
wouldn't be wise for you

to relinquish the investigation
to another agency.

I doubt that, sir.

I respect the way
you feel, but... if...

Well, if something should
go sour, you could be hurt.

You're far enough
out on the limb already.

And I'll go all the way if I have
to, because I know my men.

All right, Steve.

All right.

But if there's
much more of this...

I may have to do
the sawing myself.

Yes, sir.

McGarrett. I
have to talk to you.

Come on in.

Okay, Dave, what is it?

I took this over the phone
about a half an hour ago.

Who gave it to you?

Man's voice. Anonymous.

Mr. Anonymous,
huh? Very reliable.

Any comment?

No, no comment. Thank you.

Look, I've cooperated, but...

Dave, thank you.

No comment. Now...
if you'll excuse me.

Yeah, Steve.

McGARRETT: I think you
might need a court order.

But I wanna see a bank account.

It's in the name of John
Lee Sung. S-U-N-G.

5th Charter Bank, Kahala Branch.

Will do.

Suzie... it's Dan Williams.

I'm gonna need a court
order to look at a bank account.

Where can I find a Mr. Summers?

All the way around to the right.

Thank you.

Mr. Summers?

Yes.

My name is Williams.

I'm with Hawaii Five-0.

How can I help you?

I'd like to see one
of your accounts.

That of a John Lee Sung.

Yes, I suppose so.

Yeah, let me have
Sung, please. John Lee.

Thank you.

Does anyone in the bank
know this Mr. Sung by sight?

I do.

As a matter of fact,

I opened the account
for him about...

six weeks ago.

Twelve hundred dollars.

Six deposits, $200 each.

About one a week.

What did he look like?

Oh, he's heavyset,
5'10 ", 5'11".

Well over 200, I'd say.

And Chinese, of course.

Of course.

McGARRETT: First time you saw
him, when he opened the account,

did you ask for
any identification?

No. On a cash deposit
that's not required.

He just said, "I'm
John Lee Sung,"

and that was it. Mm-hm.

I had no idea he
was a police officer.

When he sat opposite you...

you exchanged things:

the money, papers, and so forth.

Do you recall
which hand he used?

His right, I believe.

Yes, yes. He gave me the
money with his right hand.

Did he sign the signature
card with his right hand?

No.

No, his left.

You're sure of that?

Yes. Uh, I-I recall that...

he had to turn at the desk.

The man you identified
as John Lee Sung

is right-handed.

Oh?

Well, that's odd. I... I
remember very clearly.

Well, people do that sometimes

just to disguise
their handwriting.

Oh, really?

You're very observant,
Mr. Summers.

Well, I want to help.

What was he wearing?

A business suit.

What color?

Blue, I think.

Yes. Yes, it was blue.

And, uh, he came into the bank
on two subsequent occasions?

Well, he, uh... He went to
one of the tellers, of course.

Chin.

That, uh, blue suit of yours,

what's it made out of?

Wool.

When was the last
time you wore it?

Well, it's in a clothes bag.

It's too heavy for
this time of the year.

This is Williams.

I'd like to know the
temperature at noon

of the 11th of last
month in Kahala.

Yeah. And the, uh, humidity too.

When I questioned the tellers,

none of them seemed
to remember him.

Well, uh... they'd, uh...

They'd only seen
him for a minute or so.

And then, uh... two
of the girls have left.

He might have gone to them.

Where can I get in touch
with the girls who have left?

Well, the best I
can do is, uh...

give you the...

last address we have on file.

Well, our man has a blue suit.

Mm.

What color suit were you
wearing that day, Mr. Summers?

My, uh... My gray one, I think.

Lightweight? Yes.

The temperature in Kahala
that day was over 90 degrees

and the, uh...

humidity was more
than 90 percent.

Now, uh... does it
seem reasonable

that a man would
be wearing a heavy...

woolen suit on a day like that?

I-I can't help that.
I know what I saw.

Your records...
say that 74 people

have opened new accounts
in the last six weeks.

Yes. We do a lot of business.

McGARRETT: Do you
remember all of them?

N-no. Hardly.

Do you remember any of them?

Well, let's see, um...

Uh.

How about...?

Let's see, how about John
R. McIntosh, for instance.

Forty-two hundred
dollars initial deposit,

ten days ago.

What did he look like?

How old was he?

What was he
wearing, Mr. Summers?

Was he right-handed
or left-handed?

Well, I... I... can't
remember everybody.

But you can remember a man
you saw once six weeks ago?

Now...

I want a straight
answer, Mr. Summers.

I want the truth.

I've been telling you the truth.

You better be, because I'm
gonna give you a chance to prove it.

I'm gonna get
these people in here.

And I'm gonna ask you to
pick them out of a lineup.

Very well. Thank
you, that's all.

And, uh, I'd give some thought

to the, uh...

penalty for perjury in
this state, if I were you.

Tail him, Danno.
See where he goes.

But this man
McGarrett is more than

I bargained for, Mr. Calhao.

A lot more.

You're getting paid plenty of
bread for this deal, Summers.

Just stay cool.

There's nothing
he can do to you.

That's easy for you to say.

Look, I've... I've made up
my mind, and I... I want out.

Oh, no.

No.

It's too late for that.

Besides, McGarrett
won't let you out.

Suppose we add a bonus.

Look, I could just tell
him that I made a mistake.

No, then you
would be in trouble.

And not only with McGarrett.

Take the money, Summers.

Ten thousand dollars should
help chase the butterflies away.

What say you?

Well, that, uh...

That would help considerably.

Good boy.

Now, you go home
and wait for me to call.

I'll call you tonight
about when and where.

All right.

Goodbye, Mr. Summers.

Better get Doug.

Shall we bury him?

Better him than us.

Okay. Testing one,
two. Testing one, two.

This is reel two, Chin.

Did you always have
to wait at the school

for these rehearsals?

Yeah.

Well, they would never
seem to come off on time,

why did you have to wait?

Well, if they did,

I-I didn't want the kid hanging
around the street at that hour.

Are you gonna talk to Tim?

Why? Would he tell
me something different?

No. No.

Then why shouldn't
I talk with him?

Well, he's at that
age, and he and I, we...

I... I-I-I-I wish you
wouldn't, Steve.

It's personal.

Ah, Chin... we've
been over it twice.

What I've got is your word...

against the sworn statement

of three other men.

Amuru and Vern I can understand.

You can buy them.

But Summers, no.

That's right. Summers is
the one who's gonna hurt.

I was never even in his bank.

Prove it.

Prove it. That's what the
DA's gonna ask you to do.

I can't. I can't.

Wh-why is he...? Why
is he doing this to me?

What is it for?

Take it easy, Chin.

Take it easy.

Can you account
for any of the dates?

The payoffs? The
deposits? Anything?

Steve...

Steve, I... Uh, I-I can't.

The newspapers are
bearing down on the governor.

They're screaming
whitewash inside Five-0.

I've gotta put you
on suspension, Chin.

Get some rest, brother.

Chin.

If it's any comfort
to you, I believe you.

How could you do
something like that?

Kono, if I didn't love you,

I'd punch you
right in the mouth.

He's got
responsibilities, Steve.

A wife, eight children.

Yeah, and two of them
need braces on their teeth,

and he's saving up to
put Tim through college.

And he eats lunch
out of a paper sack.

And he drives a beat-up old car.

And crying about it
doesn't help anything!

Give me something, give me
something! What do you got?

Beside talk.

There's a rumor about
a payoff in this office.

Supposed to have
gone sour two days ago.

How good are your sources?

Lousy.

And talk about Carl Brohme.

Just got outvoted
by the organization.

He's not too happy.

Danno, what do you
hear from Summers?

He went straight to a lawyer.

Anybody we know?

Edward H. Calhao.

Eddie Calhao.

He's the one who's supposed
to be giving Brohme a fit.

Get me a rundown
on him right away.

Well, suppose I lose my job.

You won't. You're not guilty.

No. But I can't
seem to prove it.

We've been through
times like this before.

Bad times, when we thought

we'd never come
through it alive.

But we can be tough
when we have to be.

Hello.

What?

Who is this?

Uh, yes, uh, I'll be there.

McGARRETT: Chin. Hi, Steve.

Talk to you for a minute?

Yeah.

Where have you been, Chin?

Driving.

Waiting for a man who said
he had some information.

He didn't come.

Who was the man?

I don't know.

Austin Summers was shot to death

at his house a half hour ago.

Am I... under arrest?

Not yet. But I've gotta
question you for the record.

Come on. Let's go, Chin.

Good night, Mrs. Kelly.

Well, good morning, Steve.

That usually an
opener for bad news.

I hear you had a
rough time last night.

Well, Summers, the
bank manager, was shot.

And now Chin Ho is
under suspicion of murder.

Yes, sir. They're really
driving the nails in.

We've been friends
for a long while, Steve.

And I'm going to turn
the investigation over

to the Attorney
General's office.

Governor, we're just
beginning to make progress.

I could have cracked Summers.

I can prove that the
bank card was forged.

There are too many
rumors, too many questions.

Would you like to start
digging up my back yard?

I'll send it over
in writing, Steve.

You'll cooperate, of course.

It's for your own good, Steve.

Yes, sir.

Calhao graduated law
school three years ago,

summa cum laude.

No criminal record.

Set up practice here last year.

No trial record, but
he's supposed to be

a hotshot behind the scenes.

What clients?

Mostly Brocar Realty.

Carl Brohme.

None of this fits
Brohme's pattern.

And he's too old to change.

Tsk.

We've been going by the book,

and we've been getting
mouse-trapped every time.

Let see if the best defense
isn't a good offense, huh?

Good afternoon, Mr. Williams.

No, it's not.

Not for you, Brohme.

Any second that phone's
gonna start banging away.

Because we're picking up
every peddler, every pusher,

every user, every dealer

we can lay our hands on.

And it's costing you money.

And it's gonna cost you more.

More money and trouble.

Because you've got a boy named
Calhao who's been leaning on us.

So we're gonna lean on you.

Now, maybe
everyone will get hurt...

but when the
blood starts to flow,

the man in the middle
usually gets the worst of it.

And that's you.

Calhao's using you.

Using you for his
own personal gains.

And when you fall,

he'll be right there
to fill in that chair.

You'll be the one who
helped him do it. Hm.

Good afternoon.

My office number's
right on the card,

but I'll give you my
home number too.

Well, who are you?

Name is right there.

In case you wanna
come in and... talk.

About what? The weather?

Yeah. The weather.

Frame on an innocent cop.

Protection.

Protection? What are you, crazy?

Maybe.

But I just had a talk
with Carl Brohme,

and I don't think
he thinks I'm crazy.

But then you never
know about Carl.

I've seen him switch
right in the heat of battle.

Aloha, Eddie.

Information, yes.

Ge... Give me the number
to the airport, will you, please?

Passenger, please.

Hey!

What is this?!

Hey!

Hey!

Police! Up here!

Hey! McGarrett!

Up here! Wait!

Wait!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

McGarrett. Help me,
they're trying to kill me.

Who'd wanna kill
you, Eddie, huh?

What have you done?

You're safe enough
for now, aren't you?

But you're a cop.
You gotta protect me.

From what, Eddie?

From Carl Brohme.

Oh, you've gotta come
up with more than a name.

I want dates, places,
the whole setup.

Sergeant.

Take him downtown. Take
his statement. Book him.

You aimed a little close.
He was really shook.

No more than he deserved.

Can I give you
lift? I got a date.

Central Dispatch,
this is McGarrett.

Patch me through to
the switchboard, please.

I wanna talk to Chin Ho Kelly.

Go ahead, McGarrett. Chin.

Welcome home.

I'm on my way.

Be down in ten minutes.

No, never mind tonight.

Just...

be on time in the
morning, you big pakai.

Right.

Thanks, Steve.

I'm back on the payroll.

I told you.

Remember how you
felt about your father?

How you felt he
could handle anything.

Don't you tell anybody
your pop can't do anything.

I'm trying to use
the phone, Dad.
