Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 2, Episode 6 - A Bullet for McGarrett - full transcript

So you can see that the studies

on individual
fluctuations in this area,

together with ego change,
could also be pertinent.

We can further point out

that the capacity in
the service of the ego

will vary with the
amount of stress

under which an ego is laboring.

For example, under
relaxed circumstances,

a person may be
able to use humor,

which may be quite impossible

when he is feeling tense
and anxious, obviously.



However, that situation
is more complex

because there are also people

who can only joke under
a certain degree of anxiety

or threatened depression.

Anyway, I see our time is up.

We'll see you tomorrow.
Class is dismissed. Thank you.

What about tonight?

I told you, Richard. I'm busy.

I think you're prejudiced.

Only against boorish,
arrogant people.

Stubborn, these Chinese,
but hardly boorish and arrogant.

Come on, how 'bout
a swim in the pool?

Nobody there about now.

Please take no for an answer.



I'm sorry, but I couldn't
help overhearing.

You put him down
rather hard, didn't you?

I can't stand him.

I don't know why I
ever went out with him.

Hm.

Uh, are you, uh...?

Are you sure you're not
under any kind of strain

from too much
schoolwork or something?

Uh...

I'm in love with you.

McGARRETT: What caliber, doc?

Appears to be a small bore.

Can't be any more specific
than that right now, Steve.

He was the only link.

They must have found
out we have evidence

to tie him in with them.

Decided they couldn't
trust his loyalty.

Looks that way, but
something just doesn't gel.

Check the high board,
Danno. See if it's wet.

What about the distance, doc?

I can't tell, but
it wasn't short.

No burns.

From the angle of entry,

it would appear it
came from above.

Unless he was diving
and had his head down.

You found the body?

Yes, sir.

I came in to go swimming.

Around this time of day,
you're pretty much by yourself.

And you heard
nothing, saw no one?

No, sir. Just him.

Steve, it's wet!

They come up with anything?

Not yet.

What is it, Steve?

Some kind of powder.

Could be face powder.

It smells like a cosmetic.

Would a woman
have brought her purse

if she'd planned to go swimming?

There's something in
the water down there.

Can you get it for me, please?

Take a look.

"Karen Adamson, 20
years old, Caucasian,

"psychology major
with excellent grades,

"cheerleader, sorority queen.

"Came to the islands
three years ago

"with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Adamson

"of Detroit, Michigan.

Parents died."

Huh.

"Boating accident
three years ago.

Lives alone in an
apartment on Keoi in Waikiki."

Perfect professional
assassin for a spy ring.

Who could be the best kind.

We have a saying,

"They that shows no evil
will be suspected of none."

Not so far as
Five-0 is concerned.

You know, I find it
hard to believe that, uh...

That a pro, even a lady pro,

would drop her bag at the scene

and leave us such
convenient clues.

But why else would she kill Han?

Maybe she found out what
he was and didn't like it.

Or maybe she
was in love with him

and he didn't like her.

Sure. Typical American girl.

She falls in love
with a brilliant,

young Chinese Maoist radical

who's involved in
a commie spy ring.

Then she shoots him
out of unrequited love.

That's reaching pretty far.

McGARRETT: I agree. You
gotta give me something better.

Without Han, we got no
connection to the organization.

That's over a month's
work, down the drain.

I don't wanna blow that.

You want me to pick Karen up?

No. No, not yet.

Find out what classes
they had together.

Talk to her teachers,
fellow students, friends.

Put together a complete dossier.

Give me something more
concrete to hold her on.

If she's a pro, we
don't wanna blow it.

And if she's not, it
won't hurt to hold off.

I've never had a more brilliant
student than Richard Han.

It was a tragic waste.

Do you think his
political activities

might have had something
to do with his death?

You know, I find
it hard to believe

that anyone would
want to kill him

for selling Chairman
Mao's little red books

or carrying signs
protesting the war.

People have been
killed for a lot less.

I suppose so,

there are other students
far more radical than Richard.

He was a Maoist, but he
was a dove among hawks.

Now, if anyone
wanted to kill him

because he was
resentful of his politics,

it must have been a
very arbitrary choice.

Really.

Can you think of
any other reason

he might have been killed?

I've tried.

I haven't been very successful.

You know, Dick was
liked by almost everyone.

What about women?

What about them?

Did he date much?

How would I know about that?

You know, I teach
psychology, not sex education.

Do you happen to
know, if he ever took out

a girl named Karen Adamson?

I've seen them together.

You don't think Karen Adamson

would be involved
in this, do you?

We don't know.

I can't really believe
she could be a suspect.

Why?

What conceivable
motive could she have?

Doctor, we have
good reason to believe

that Karen entered the pool
area shortly before he was shot.

Maybe she went swimming.

Wearing shoes and
carrying a purse?

Two kids saw her near
the pool that morning.

One saw her come
out in a big hurry

just about the
estimated time of death.

Here's the lab report
on the powder Danny got.

It's the same stuff we
found near the pool.

Let's go, Danno.

No!

Mama.

How bad, doc?

Have to wait until
we get to the hospital

before we can tell.

Mama.

Mama.

Oh, no.

No.

Oh, why'd you have to die?

Karen.

Oh.

No, please don't.

Don't let him hit me, Paul.

I hate him.

I hate him.

Karen, can you hear me?

Oh, no. Please,
stop him, Paul. Stop.

Don't hit me, Paul. He's...

He's not my daddy.

He's not... He's not... Paul...

Dr. Farrar.

Oh, God, where are you?

Mama.

Mama.

Ma... Ma...

She just died, didn't she, doc?

Yes.

McGARRETT: Okay.
Once more, from the top.

With feeling?

Birth date?

January 7, 1944.

And your father was a
foreman with what company?

Whiteman Paper
Company of Illinois,

except he wasn't a
foreman. He was a salesman.

Isn't 26 a little old
for an undergraduate?

I'm 25.

Why did you leave the
University of Chicago?

Hawaii sounded like fun.

And I decided I might
as well enjoy myself

while completing my
requirements for a B.A.

Why psychology?

I hate business.

Why didn't you
marry your fiancé?

His major was
business administration.

What is it, Steve?

You worried about me?

Look, I'm a policewoman.

I know. I know. But
I just saw a girl die.

Yeah, I'm worried. I admit it.

Won't find anyone better
equipped for the job.

I majored in psych.

I know.

I'm not worried
about you, honey.

I'm worried about what
I'm sending you into.

It seems relatively simple.

Farrar was implicated by
Karen just before she died.

And all I've gotta find
out is if he was involved,

and if so, how.

What's so
complicated about that?

What do you think, Danno?

As far as I can
see, Karen shot Han

out of jealousy or rejection.

His involvement
with the spy ring

was probably just coincidence.

She didn't know
anything about it.

Danny could be right.

That depends on how
complicated Farrar is.

He was a professor of
Oriental Psychology in Europe

before he joined the UN
forces in the Korean action.

Captured by North
Korea, spent three years,

three years as a POW.

What does that mean?

Well...

You don't like it,
Steve, but I do.

I'm fascinated by the idea
of going back to school.

Okay.

Okay, on one condition,

that you take
absolutely no chances.

Only one thing bothers me.

What's that?

I don't have a thing to wear.

So, you see, mood is probably
one of the vaguest terms

used in psychology.

Now, can anyone give us
an adequate description?

Yes.

It's a temporary state of mind.

That's just as vague.

Yeah.

Mood is a complex
state of feeling.

Anyone else?

Yes.

Mood is an enduring

but not permanent
emotional attitude.

That is very good.

Excuse me, what is your name?

Bennett. Joyce Bennett.

You know, I must apologize.

That's about the second
time I've forgotten that.

Third.

Well, we'll be working
your memory next week.

Anyway, I see the
time is about up.

Class is dismissed. Thank you.

They say, Dr. Farrar,
the sea is mother to us all.

If this is true,

then today she deserves
a special commendation.

What are you saying?

Congratulations.

It wasn't easy.

Nothing worthwhile ever is.

Still, I have the
uncomfortable feeling

this thing isn't over yet.

You're quite right.

There's no way for the police
to connect us to what happened.

As a psychologist,

I'm surprised that you don't
look beyond the circumstantial.

We are facing an enemy

whose relentlessness
is a constant threat.

The case is closed.

Oh, is it?

I don't share your
optimism, doctor.

I think that's exactly
what Steve McGarrett

wants us to think.

What are you saying?

Many things.

One of which is that my
informants have learned

that a young policewoman
is now a member

of one of your classes.

A Miss Joan... Joyce Bennett.

Joyce Bennett, a policewoman?

McGarrett's instrument
with which to probe.

And in this case, perhaps,
a double-edged sword.

Eliminating Miss Bennett
will not solve our problem,

only postpone it.

You see, given enough
time, McGarrett will destroy us

unless we destroy him first.

Kill McGarrett?

We can let the
young lady do it for us.

But as you said, Joyce Bennett
is not just a girl like Karen,

she's a policewoman.

The very fact that she is there

indicates they
are suspecting me.

I have total confidence
in your ability.

You can charm this
Joyce Bennett, can't you?

Win her trust?

I think I can, but
that's not the problem.

Oh?

The problem, Mr. Wo
Fat, is that hypnosis

is not an exact science.

When you were a prisoner of
war, you were trained by me.

I taught that hypnosis
is an instrument.

An instrument is only as exact

as the application
of the applier.

You are my most
brilliant student.

A disciple.

If anyone can do
it, you can do it.

Consider it a
challenge... for which

our superiors will
owe you their...

undying respect, understand?

You're going to be
in Peking while I am...

While you, Dr. Farrar,

transform Miss Bennett

into a bullet for McGarrett.

Hi, professor. Hi. How are you?

Just fine, thanks. How are you?

Couldn't be better.

Say hello to your
mother? Sure will.

Hi.

May I join you?

Please do.

Thank you. I've been
feeling very lonely.

I was hesitant
coming over before.

Why?

I think in any
kind of relationship

respect for one
another's privacy

is a prime consideration.

Do you feel we
have a relationship?

Yes, I somehow do.

The minute you came into class,

I felt that there was something.

Sure. You couldn't
remember my name.

Names aren't very
important, my dear.

Eyes are.

Hands are important.

You're left-handed.

How very observant of you.

You know, that one can
actually tell quite a bit from hands.

One can read the psychological
implications quite easily.

They speak the eloquent language

in the Morse code
of the subconscious.

Can you tell my fortune too?

The future ought
to remain a surprise.

It is from our past that
we learn about ourselves.

I'm afraid you'd
find mine very dull.

Don't be too sure about that.

You would be surprised
how many people

have simply forgotten it.

McGARRETT: Try these.

Think it through.
Take your time, kiddo.

We've gotta be sure.

This sort of looks like him.

Uh, I'm not sure.

It's him.

You sure this is the man
who got you to buy that gun?

That's him.

Contact Joyce. I want
her off the case right now.

Jenny, get me Dr., uh, Abrahams.

Staff psychiatrist. Island
Hospital. Right away.

Do you like the music?

I'm not sure.

You will once
you get used to it.

It makes me think
of men on the moon.

It's a whole new world of sound.

I've often used it in class
to create a particular mood.

What kind of mood are
you trying to put me in?

Relaxed and comfortable.

Well, you've accomplished
your objective, doctor.

I feel divine.

Mmm. That tastes good.

Tell me something.

Did you ever take
Karen Adamson out?

Karen Adamson? Hmm.

She was a child.

A lovely witch-child,
but a child nevertheless.

I imagine, she must have
been very much in love

with that Chinese boy.

I'd rather talk about you.

About when you
were... a little girl.

I was very sensitive and shy.

I'm mostly interested
in that man...

That man you said your
mother almost married

after the death of your father.

Oh, what makes you
so interested in him?

I just, uh, detected a
certain tone in your voice

when you mentioned
him in earlier discussions.

He must have had
quite an effect on you

to still be disturbed by him.

Yes, I suppose that's true.

He was very crude.

Drank a lot. Hm.

And I couldn't stand him.

But Mother was lonely, I guess.

Any company was better
than no company at all,

she used to say.

I suddenly feel so
sleepy, excuse me.

It's the wine and
the music, my dear.

Yes, I guess so.

So you didn't like him?

The man?

Was he kind to your mother?

Kind?

He beat her up once.

I'd almost forgotten how...

Let's talk about something else.

I can hardly keep my eyes open.

You can relax with me, Joyce.

Feel comfortable.

You know, I think
we are more than just

student and teacher.

I think we're friends.

Anyway, just close your
eyes and listen to the music.

Listen and relax.

The darkness is
warm and peaceful,

and you want to go to sleep.

To sleep.

But you can still hear my
voice, can't you, Joyce?

Yes.

Yes.

You want to tell me
about the man you hate,

the one that your mother liked.

Yes.

Then let's really remember him.

Let's go back through the years,

through time.

Let's go back.

Back.

You will open your eyes
when I count to three.

But you will still be asleep
and hearing my voice.

One.

Two.

Three.

Look into the mirror, Joyce.

Look deep into
the mirror, Joyce.

You see yourself as we
go backward through time.

And now, we are going back.

You're 20 years old.

Can you see
yourself at 20, Joyce?

And now, you're 13 years old.

You're living with your mother.

You can see your
mother, can't you, Joyce?

Yes, I see her.

Yes.

There's a man coming to
the house, isn't he, Joyce?

Yes, he's coming.

Yes.

Soon you will be seeing the
man whom you hate, Joyce.

There he is.

Look at him.

The man who hurt your mother.

The man you hate, Joyce.

Look at him.

Look at his face.

Look at his eyes.
Look at his nose.

Look at his mouth.

Look at him.

We were worried
about you, Joyce.

Worried? Why?

We kept calling.
You weren't here.

I just got home.

Where were you?

With Dr. Farrar.

This late?

We spent the day on the beach.

Aren't you working
overtime on this case, Joyce?

It wasn't work. It was fun.

Joyce, there are some
things about Dr. Farrar

that you don't know.

I know we were wrong

in suspecting him of being
implicated in any crime.

What makes you so sure?

Steve, I'm tired. Can't
we discuss this tomorrow?

Sure. Sure.

But I'm taking you off the case.

Taking me off?! Why?

We think that Farrar
may have hypnotized

Karen Adamson into killing Han.

You can't be serious.

I'm dead serious.

He bought the
gun that killed Han.

That's pretty incriminating.

He bought the
gun that killed Han.

Did you hear me?

He's taught Oriental Psychology.

He spent three years with
the communists as a POW.

He's written books on
hypnotism and mesmerism.

Is that pretty good?

It doesn't make any sense.

Doesn't it?

Karen Adamson is dead.

Now, she had no apparent
reason for killing Han.

She was hysterical when
she talked about Farrar.

You can't hypnotize
someone to commit murder.

It doesn't work that way.

We don't know how it works.

So far it's the
only explanation.

Now, until I find out for sure,

I want you to keep
away from Farrar.

You can't order me to stay
away from him on my own time.

Joyce, I hope it's not necessary

to order you to do anything.

Now, he's a dangerous man.

You're the one who's dangerous.

What's the matter with you?

Let go of me. Let go!

I-I'm so sorry, Steve.

I... I must be tired.

I don't know what's
gotten into me.

You're off the case.

You understand that?

You're not to see Farrar
under any circumstances.

Now, that's an order.

A-okay, boss.

Don't worry. I'll lock my
door so Svengali won't get me.

There's got to be an answer.

All right, doctor. Let's go
over it once more, huh?

Could Karen have been
hypnotized to murder?

I told you, Steve. That's
impossible to answer.

I didn't have a chance
to examine the girl.

All right, is it
possible for anybody

to be hypnotized to kill?

That's all I wanna know.

It's unlikely.

What about regression?

Could one person be made
to kill another that way?

Regression is an
approach to the past

through the unconscious.

By regressing a patient
through hypnotism,

a doctor can get to the
source of the problem

that still hangs
on from childhood.

But how could a hypnotist use
that to compel someone to kill?

Well, a child's sense

of right and wrong is quite
different from an adult's.

A hypnotist might drag up

some childhood
traumatic situation,

recreate it for the
adult, causing him

to transfer his hostility.

Yeah. Transfer to whom?

To someone the
hypnotist tells him

is the same one who was
the cause of his pain originally.

But the hypnotist would
have to tell him, right?

Right.

All right, doctor, just
one more question.

Is it possible for
someone to be hypnotized

without their knowing it?

Not knowing it? No.

Without remembering it, yes.

Thank you, doctor.

Hello?

Joyce?

Joyce, this is Dr. Farrar.
Can you hear me?

Yes.

Good.

Now, listen very
carefully to me.

You will do exactly
as I instruct you to.

Do you understand that?

Yes, I understand.

Good. Are you dressed, Joyce?

No.

Then you will get dressed now.

And you will come
over to my classroom.

Do you understand that?

I understand.

Good.

You may go now, Joyce.

McGarrett.

Joyce.

Where are you? Where?

Where? Now, look, honey,

I told you to stay away from...

What happened?

She hung up.

Where is she?

She's up at the university.

She asked me to
come up there alone.

Alone? What for?

She didn't say, she just
asked me to come alone.

You sure it was her?

Oh, yeah. It was her.

Steve, I don't like it.
Remember, Karen Adamson.

I've got to go, Danno.

She sounded like
she needed help.

Could be a setup. Why risk it?

We could all go in
there and... And what?

If it is a setup, that
would only blow it.

You heard what
Dr. Abrahams said.

If we shake her up too much,

she could suffer
posthypnotic trauma,

shock, a complete breakdown.

It's complicated stuff
we're dealing with, Danno.

Farrar might be walking
around in her mind.

Joyce.

Joyce.

Joyce. Joyce.

It's all right, honey.

Easy. Oh.

Steve. Easy. Easy.

Easy. Are you all right?

Huh?

Steve, what happened?

What am I doing here?

Please, easy. Take it easy.

I'll explain later. Come
on. Let's get out of here.

Easy. Easy.

Joyce. Joyce, what is
it? Get back in the car.

Joyce, put that down.

Put it down, Joyce.

No. Don't!

Joyce.

Joyce, listen to me.

This is your chance.

This is your chance
to kill the man

who is trying to
kill your mother.

Don't let him do it,
Joyce. Don't let him kill her.

Kill the man, Joyce. Kill him.

Kill the man, Joyce. Kill him.

This is your chance.

Joyce.

Joyce, it's empty.

No one's gonna hurt you, Joyce.

You stay away.

Joyce, put it away.

Oh, please.

It's Steve, Joyce.

Mother.

Joyce.

Easy.

Easy.

Easy.

Easy.

Joyce.

Listen to me.

Listen to me, honey. It's Steve.

You're not a child anymore.

You're not a child.

Can you hear me?

You're not a child anymore.
You're a woman, Joyce.

Do you understand?

You're not a child,
you're a woman.

You're a woman.
Your mother is not here.

No one is here
except you and me.

Listen. Look at me.

Look at me, it's Steve.

I'm right here with you. Oh...

Mwah.

Everything is
gonna be all right.

No one is gonna hurt you.
No one's gonna hurt you.

No one.

You'll be all right.

Come on now.

That's it.

Okay? Right. Easy.
