Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 6, Episode 21 - Nightmare in Blue - full transcript
A rapist/killer is terrorizing Honolulu. He has already killed four women and attacked a fifth but she managed to survive. However, she is reluctant to file a report due to the fact that he claimed to be a police officer and her husband convinces her that the police won't go after their own. In fact, during a stakeout, a female police officer encounters him but due to the fact he was so convincing she lets him go. As it turns out he was a police academy washout and now McGarrett and the rest of the Five-O team must find him before he strikes again.
Oh, dear.
Good morning.
Well, it's improving.
And no spare.
I took it in to get
it fixed last week
and forgot to pick it up.
Well, there's a...
There's a gas station
about a mile down
the road, opens at 6:00.
I can drop you there.
Gee, I'd appreciate it.
Okay.
You want to lock it?
Why? If I'm lucky maybe
somebody'll steal it.
What's the story, Doc?
Young woman, early
20s. Apparently strangled.
I can tell you
one thing for sure:
She was dead when she
went down that embankment.
How long has she been dead?
About a couple of hours.
No more than three.
Identification?
Not yet.
We've got backup coming to
help beat the brush down there
for a purse or anything
else that might give us an ID.
Ben, call Che.
Tell him to get someone over to
the morgue and take her prints.
Who found her? Some kids.
You get a chance
to talk to them?
Call it that. But they
were pretty shook.
Say all they saw
was the dead woman.
What else can you tell me, Doc?
Meaning, was she
sexually assaulted?
Yeah.
I'd say you got
victim number four.
What have we got, Doc?
Raped and strangled.
Abrasions on both
sides of her throat
from fingernails
cutting into the skin.
Area of hemorrhaging
along the finger marks.
Fracture of the hyoid
and rupture of the
cartilage of the larynx.
The killer used
one hand: his right.
She's number four, all right.
Same as the other three women.
But with a difference.
Oh, yeah?
This time, for
whatever it's worth,
I've got something to give you.
A little piece of
information about him.
His blood type.
His blood type?
The same properties
that make it possible
for us to tell a
person's blood group
are also present in the semen,
if you find enough to work with.
And I did.
Your rapist-strangler
is Type B, Steve.
Bergman.
Yeah, he's here.
Danny for you.
Yeah, Danno.
Where?
All right. I'm on my way.
Thanks, Doc.
The car is registered
to a Joy Muller,
5086 Weiler Place.
We decided to check it out
when we heard Officer
McCall ask Central Dispatch
for a routine
registration check.
This place is less
than two miles
from where the girl was found.
Danno, you and, uh, Ben
check out Joy Muller's dress.
Chin, give these to Che's boys.
Steve.
Tire tracks.
Look fairly fresh.
I'd say they could have been
made about the same time
as those from the woman's car.
McGARRETT: The
tread on the front tires
don't seem to
match the back ones.
Oh, front tires are new.
Can you pour me some casts?
Ground's pretty loose.
I'll try, but you might have
to settle for photographs.
Anything you can give me
is more than we have now.
Do your best, and do it fast.
Yes?
Hawaii Five-0.
Five-0? What do you want?
It's about Joy Muller.
Joy? What about her?
May we come in, miss?
Dan Williams. Ben Kokua.
Sherry Wells.
Look, is, uh, Joy in some
sort of trouble or what?
You share this apartment
with Miss Muller?
Yes.
Were you close friends?
Listen, will you please tell me?
What do you mean "were"?
I'm very sorry to inform you
that, uh, Miss Muller is dead.
Dead?
Miss Wells, she was murdered.
Do her parents live in Honolulu?
L.A.
Mother and father, anyway.
I... I... I don't
know their address.
We'll get it from the airlines.
How did it happen?
All we can tell you is
she was found this
morning at Koko Head, 8:00.
Her car was discovered
later at Hanauma Road.
Had a flat tire.
We assume she got
a ride with someone.
The person who killed her?
We think so.
Apparently, she went willingly.
What makes you say that?
There was no sign of a
struggle around her car.
Well, I don't care what you
found or didn't. You're wrong!
Miss Wells, we told you
she'd been murdered.
In fact, she was
strangled and raped.
Oh, my God.
When you said "wrong," you
seemed very certain. Why?
Look, I didn't know Joy
very long or very well.
We worked the same
flights a few times
and... And she had the rent
on this place for layovers,
and that was about it.
But I do know one thing:
Joy was smart. Real
hip and very careful.
If she got into a car with
somebody, it was a man she knew.
Or a man she
knew she could trust.
I got bowling tonight. - JOE?
What about the washing machine?
What about the washing machine?
I told you last night
it went kaput again
and it can't be fixed.
"No way," the
man said. "No way."
Well, then what's the problem?
We'll just buy you
another washing machine.
Oh, Joe! Mwah! You're beautiful.
I think you're pretty. Uh-huh.
See you.
Okay. After bowling.
Honey, I got to go
because I told the guys I would.
I know, I'm only
teasing you. Goodbye.
Uh, good morning, ma'am.
What is it, officer?
I'm sorry to
disturb you, but, uh,
we've had a few burglaries
in this area recently,
and we're checking the residents
to see if they might know
something that could help us.
Hm, well, I'm sorry,
but I... I'm afraid I
don't really know...
Would you mind if I
ask a few questions?
Like I told you, I do...
I don't know anything.
Well, you see, people
sometimes know something
they don't realize is important.
Yeah. I suppose you're
right. Won't you come in?
Well, I guess that covers it.
Well, I'm sorry, officer,
that I couldn't be of any help.
Oh, well, don't be
sorry. You still can be.
How?
I'll show you.
You know, you really
got beautiful legs.
And the rest of
you is just fantastic.
Shut up!
Get out! Get out!
Don't scream! Shut up!
Come on. Fight me. Fight me.
Don't scream.
I think the photos show it
even better than the cast.
You can see it here.
This mark. And this one.
They're made by the
small stubs of rubber
you find on all new tires.
They wear off quickly,
within a few hundred miles.
So the tires were new.
Very new.
What about tread design?
Have you identified any
particular brand from it?
Yes. It's made by the
American Ohio rubber company.
Their top-of-the-line
tire, called Mileage Maker.
The company has a
branch office in Pearl City.
Get out there, Danno.
Get a list of retailers
who handle this brand. Right.
Andrea?
Andrea?
Yo, Andrea. It's me, Tina.
Andrea?
McGARRETT: All
four attacks took place
within this general area.
And in two cases, Sharon
Power and Joy Muller,
the victims got
into the rapist's car
and apparently did so willingly.
So we know this much:
The guy looks for his
victims, or some of them,
along deserted
stretches of road.
He's confident that he
can get them into his car.
Now, there's a chance
we can use that knowledge.
Well, what's your plan, Steve?
We'll need H.P.D.'s help.
Ask them to assign six of their
policewomen to a special unit.
The youngest and
prettiest they have.
I want to stake them
out in cars and on foot
on the loneliest stretches of
road we can find in this area.
And maybe, just maybe,
the killer will take the bait.
Steve.
List of retail outlets
from American Ohio.
How many do we have, Danno?
Forty-one. Wow.
A lot of ground to cover.
I suggest preliminary
telephone contacts,
find out which retail outlets
might have sold a pair
of Mileage Makers
in the last few weeks,
and turn the list over to
H.P.D. let them check it out.
Save us a lot of
time and legwork.
And concentrate
on the pair, Danno.
Most people buy a
single tire or all four.
Central to McGarrett.
McGarrett.
We've got another
beating and strangle victim.
When? About an hour ago.
She's at Queen's Hospital.
What's her name?
Andrea Burdick.
Okay. Thank you for calling.
Ten-four.
We might have
victim number five.
Woman badly beaten,
same strangulation pattern.
Possibly raped. But alive.
Her name is Burdick,
Andrea Burdick.
She's at Queen's Hospital.
Danno, you and
Ben get over there.
Right.
Chin, start calling
these tire dealers.
Duke, get that stakeout set up.
I want to work it
round the clock.
McGarrett.
We're here at the hospital.
We just talked to Dr. Akkuda.
Mrs. Burdick is in deep shock.
She was beaten and raped.
The doctor doesn't know
when we can talk to her.
I see. Okay, Danno.
Uh, tell Ben to stay there
until she comes around
and let me know as
soon as it happens.
Oh, one more thing.
Put a guard on her door.
Twenty-four hours. Right.
Anything I can do, miss?
Uh, no, thank
you. I'm all right.
You sure? There's a service
station just down the road.
I've already sent for help.
Just trying to do you a favor.
Thank you just the same.
DUKE: Who was that?
Uh, just a local farmer
and a kid. No problem.
False alarm.
Hi.
You having trouble?
Well, not exactly.
What happened? It
just fold up on you?
Listen, mac, you're not
supposed to be here.
The orders were for all
cars to stay clear of this area.
What are you talking about?
This is a stakeout. You
blundered into a stakeout.
What's going on there?
Who is that, Laura?
I am sorry.
Nobody clued me in.
Laura, are you there?
I'm okay. Just another officer.
I don't know what he was doing
here, but... But he's gone now.
What was it? Did
you get his name?
No, he... He took
off in a big hurry.
Kolea says it must have
been Officer Samuels.
He was assigned to this beat.
Why, I know Samuels.
It wasn't him.
Well, can you describe him?
Tall, medium-built.
About 175-80 pounds,
6'1 ", 6'2".
I really didn't get a good look.
Half of his face was
covered by those glasses.
Hair? LAURA: Brown.
Anything special about him?
The way he walked,
the way he talked?
Well, he didn't say much.
When he heard Duke's
voice, he just split.
What about his car?
Brown four-door.
Uh, Ford, maybe.
Uh, could have been a Buick.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I really didn't pay
that much attention.
All I was thinking was,
"Hey, man, take off.
We've got work here."
I really didn't zero
on him, you know?
Okay, honey. Okay. Thank you.
A cop nobody knows
stumbles into our stakeout,
then takes off like
a frightened rabbit
when he finds out what it is.
I can't believe it's a cop.
No, I don't wanna think
about it either, Duke.
But... it would
explain a lot of things.
Why those girls got into his car
without giving him any trouble.
Why he was admitted
to those homes.
Get Che out to
the stakeout area.
See if he can pick up
any tire tracks. Right.
Central to McGarrett.
Ben Kokua on the line.
McGarrett.
Mrs. Burdick can talk.
Okay.
Now we're gonna find out
if we're dealing with a cop.
I'm on my way.
Joe.
Don't cry.
Oh, Joe, it was...
Don't talk about anything.
I have to tell you.
I... I have to.
A cop.
A cop!
They're standing out
there waiting to talk to you.
Honey, listen to me.
Listen, don't say a word.
Don't tell them a thing.
Do you know what they'd do
if you told them it was a cop?
They'd cut you to
ribbons! They don't care!
All they care about is
saving their own kind.
Just keep your mouth shut.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Mr. Burdick, I'm
McGarrett of Five-0.
I know.
I'd like to speak
with your wife.
You're not going to.
Oh? Why is that?
Because I said so.
I see.
Well, I'm afraid that's
not good enough.
Now, listen to me, McGarrett.
You leave my wife alone.
She's got nothing to say to you.
Not now, not ever!
Four women have been
murdered, raped and...
You heard me, Mr. McGarrett!
Get out of here and
leave my wife alone!
And take him with you!
Mr. Burdick, as terrible as
your wife's experience was,
she's fortunate to be alive.
Alive to tell us what the man
who attacked her looked like.
I suppose that's all
you're gonna ask her?
You're gonna ask her
if he was good-looking,
if he had a good
build, did she enjoy it?
I mean, before he
started to strangle her.
You are not going to make
my wife out to be a tramp.
I have no intention of
doing anything like that.
Bull!
I know just how you cops think,
just like everybody!
She was asking for it!
A woman gets raped,
and she's asking for it!
I don't think that. I
never did. Do you?
Now, Mr. Burdick, let's
get something straight here.
No one, no one,
has more compassion for
that lady in there than I have.
I've dealt with a
lot of rape cases.
I know the trauma
and the anguish
that she must have gone through.
But I'm gonna to
talk with your wife
with your permission or without.
Now, you can make it
as easy on her as possible
or you can make it hard.
Now, which is it going to be?
Ben, call the district
attorney's office.
Tell them that I want to talk
with John Manicote right away.
Hold it.
All right.
Talk to her.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Ben, wait for me.
Honey, this is
McGarrett of Five-0.
He didn't believe
me when I told him
you didn't want to talk to him.
Mrs. Burdick, I... I know
how difficult it is to talk about
what you've just been through.
But, as painful as it is,
I... I... I would like to know
exactly what happened.
We think the man
who attacked you
has killed four women
in less than two weeks.
Now, he could kill
again at any moment.
By some miracle, you
escaped being killed.
Now, I want to know everything
you can tell me about him:
What he looked like, why
you admitted him to your home.
I... I can't tell you anything.
You mean you won't tell me.
P-please, I...
Why won't you tell me?
Do you realize
what you're doing?
There's a madman
loose in this town.
He'll go right on
killing and raping.
Now, if you don't
help us stop him,
every murder he commits from
now on will be with your blessing.
Please!
Leave me alone, please.
Leave me alone.
She won't talk?
Not with that husband
of hers in there.
She's afraid of him
and she's afraid of me,
and I don't know why.
Here he is now. For
you, Mr. McGarrett.
Oh. Thank you, nurse. McGarrett.
I picked up one tire track at
the stakeout location, Steve.
Another Mileage Maker.
It matches the left
front of the one we found
by Joy Muller's car.
Okay, Che. Thanks very much.
What is it, Steve?
It looks like we're after a cop.
Believe me, we...
We're doing the
only thing we can.
You've got to think of yourself.
And Debbie. You...
You gotta think of her too.
And look, when...
When you're well...
we'll go away
for a little while.
Maybe we'll go for a
vacation or we'll move back.
I don't know.
Someplace where...
Where nobody knows.
Someplace where you
won't have to ashamed...
I didn't mean that.
Honest to God, honey,
I didn't mean that.
Oh, God, I didn't mean that.
Steve, there have been bad
apples on the force before.
I know it's been my
job to weed them out.
But this, a rapist-strangler,
now, that's hard to buy.
Well, you've got to pry
at the possibility anyway.
Okay. We've got 950 suspects.
That's how many we've got
driving known cars on patrol.
Where do we start?
By eliminating any
who don't drive, uh,
brown, four-door
Buicks or Fords,
then reducing the rest
to men with Type B blood.
If statistics hold,
that'll cull out almost
90 percent of them.
And Che and lab
boys can check the tires
on the cars that are left.
Oh, one more
thing. Very important.
Hit your computer.
Ask it to spit out the records
of every man who's been
bumped from the force
or washed out during
his probationary period.
How far back you want to go?
For starters, five
years. Meanwhile,
I'll be praying. But
I'm not sure for what.
I'll be kneeling
right next to you, Ed.
Address?
How many tires did he buy?
Hawaii Five-o calling.
Let me talk to the manager.
Okay. Thank you.
Danno, look at these. Yeah.
Steve, Duke just called. Yeah.
He's got the records
of the probationary
washouts from H.P.D.
He and Laura are
going over them now.
Williams.
Yeah, he's right here, captain.
Harada.
Yes, Ed.
Steve, we've come
up with 59 possibles.
I'm calling them in
in alphabetical order.
The lab's checking the
tires of the first group now.
I'll send Che and some of his
boys over to give you a hand.
We can use it.
How are we doing
with the tire dealers?
One guy bought
two tires last month,
but he had them put on the rear.
I'm having H.P.D. check it
out. He could've switched them.
Okay. Stay with it, now.
You can send them
back to work, captain.
Dismiss them and get
the next bunch in here.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
If the man I saw out there
is in here, I can't spot him.
Damn, if I only used
my head out there.
Relax, honey. Stop
blaming yourself.
Steve, what have you got done?
Zero. Chin and Ben still have
a few more tire dealers to call.
So far the only names we got
are customers who
bought sets of four.
Ah, we're getting
nowhere. Nowhere.
And while we're
spinning our wheels,
the guy is out there somewhere
on the prowl for another woman.
Well, doctor?
Sorry, Mr. McGarrett.
She refuses to see you.
Is her husband with her?
No.
Uh, do me a favor,
will you, doctor?
Give her this, please.
May I ask what it is?
It's a... It's a police matter.
Thank you.
Is he gone?
Yes. But he asked
me to give you this.
I... I don't want it.
McGarrett.
It's Harada, Steve.
Oh. Hello, Ed.
Something wrong? You sound
like you were down the cellar.
No, no, no. I just thought it
might be Mrs. Burdick calling.
Well, I've got good news.
All of our 59 possibles
check out clean.
Not one Mileage
Maker in the lot.
I guess that's good news.
Well, if it clears your
men, it's good news, Ed.
Thank God for that.
And, uh, thanks for calling.
Hello.
Hi.
You're new around
here, aren't you?
Yeah. I... I moved in yesterday.
The name's Donna. Donna Wilson.
Look, uh, would you like to
come next door to my place
and have a beer?
Oh, thanks, but I'm
expecting a phone call.
Maybe another time, huh?
Unless you'd like
me to buy you one.
When I first saw it...
I wished to god he'd killed me.
I felt so ashamed.
So... so dirty.
But then I looked at it again.
And I just kept staring at it.
And I started to tell myself I
didn't have to feel ashamed.
Stop! You have got to
forget what happened!
I can't forget.
Neither can you.
We never will.
Joe, all we can do is...
Is try to understand
what's happened
and live with it.
And... And not let it
happen to anybody else
if we can do
anything to stop it.
What are you saying?
You know what I'm saying.
Call the police.
Call Mr. McGarrett.
Andrea.
Joe, please.
If you love me.
If what's happened
hasn't changed
how you feel about me.
McGARRETT: All right.
Let's get back to square one.
Steve, I think we got something.
Just talked to Palm Tire Mart.
Has a record of selling
only two Mileage Makers
to a guy named Stark.
Walter Stark. Charged
it on a credit card...
Walter Stark? He was
on the washout list.
Address: The Esplanade Hawaiki,
Apartment 25-C.
Let's go.
WOMAN: Hawaii Five-0.
Mr. McGarrett, please.
Joseph Burdick calling.
Mr. McGarrett
isn't in, Mr. Burdick.
May I help you?
Yes. Would you please
give him a message?
Ask him to call my wife.
Yes, I will.
You got another?
Sorry, sheriff.
That's the last one.
Well, I'll go to my place
and get some more.
Look, I hate to
bust up the party,
but I've still got a lot
of unpacking to do.
But it looks fine to me.
If you could see the
junk I've got in this closet,
I mean, you just wouldn't...
Hey, sheriff, take it ea...
Oh!
Get out of here.
Get out. Get out!
Come on. Fight me. Fight me.
Don't scream, but fight me.
Ben, Chin, get the back.
Open up, Stark! Five-0!
Jenny just radioed a message
for you from Mr. Burdick.
His wife wants to talk to you.
Yeah?
Well, call her back and tell her
there's nothing
more to talk about.
Good morning.
Well, it's improving.
And no spare.
I took it in to get
it fixed last week
and forgot to pick it up.
Well, there's a...
There's a gas station
about a mile down
the road, opens at 6:00.
I can drop you there.
Gee, I'd appreciate it.
Okay.
You want to lock it?
Why? If I'm lucky maybe
somebody'll steal it.
What's the story, Doc?
Young woman, early
20s. Apparently strangled.
I can tell you
one thing for sure:
She was dead when she
went down that embankment.
How long has she been dead?
About a couple of hours.
No more than three.
Identification?
Not yet.
We've got backup coming to
help beat the brush down there
for a purse or anything
else that might give us an ID.
Ben, call Che.
Tell him to get someone over to
the morgue and take her prints.
Who found her? Some kids.
You get a chance
to talk to them?
Call it that. But they
were pretty shook.
Say all they saw
was the dead woman.
What else can you tell me, Doc?
Meaning, was she
sexually assaulted?
Yeah.
I'd say you got
victim number four.
What have we got, Doc?
Raped and strangled.
Abrasions on both
sides of her throat
from fingernails
cutting into the skin.
Area of hemorrhaging
along the finger marks.
Fracture of the hyoid
and rupture of the
cartilage of the larynx.
The killer used
one hand: his right.
She's number four, all right.
Same as the other three women.
But with a difference.
Oh, yeah?
This time, for
whatever it's worth,
I've got something to give you.
A little piece of
information about him.
His blood type.
His blood type?
The same properties
that make it possible
for us to tell a
person's blood group
are also present in the semen,
if you find enough to work with.
And I did.
Your rapist-strangler
is Type B, Steve.
Bergman.
Yeah, he's here.
Danny for you.
Yeah, Danno.
Where?
All right. I'm on my way.
Thanks, Doc.
The car is registered
to a Joy Muller,
5086 Weiler Place.
We decided to check it out
when we heard Officer
McCall ask Central Dispatch
for a routine
registration check.
This place is less
than two miles
from where the girl was found.
Danno, you and, uh, Ben
check out Joy Muller's dress.
Chin, give these to Che's boys.
Steve.
Tire tracks.
Look fairly fresh.
I'd say they could have been
made about the same time
as those from the woman's car.
McGARRETT: The
tread on the front tires
don't seem to
match the back ones.
Oh, front tires are new.
Can you pour me some casts?
Ground's pretty loose.
I'll try, but you might have
to settle for photographs.
Anything you can give me
is more than we have now.
Do your best, and do it fast.
Yes?
Hawaii Five-0.
Five-0? What do you want?
It's about Joy Muller.
Joy? What about her?
May we come in, miss?
Dan Williams. Ben Kokua.
Sherry Wells.
Look, is, uh, Joy in some
sort of trouble or what?
You share this apartment
with Miss Muller?
Yes.
Were you close friends?
Listen, will you please tell me?
What do you mean "were"?
I'm very sorry to inform you
that, uh, Miss Muller is dead.
Dead?
Miss Wells, she was murdered.
Do her parents live in Honolulu?
L.A.
Mother and father, anyway.
I... I... I don't
know their address.
We'll get it from the airlines.
How did it happen?
All we can tell you is
she was found this
morning at Koko Head, 8:00.
Her car was discovered
later at Hanauma Road.
Had a flat tire.
We assume she got
a ride with someone.
The person who killed her?
We think so.
Apparently, she went willingly.
What makes you say that?
There was no sign of a
struggle around her car.
Well, I don't care what you
found or didn't. You're wrong!
Miss Wells, we told you
she'd been murdered.
In fact, she was
strangled and raped.
Oh, my God.
When you said "wrong," you
seemed very certain. Why?
Look, I didn't know Joy
very long or very well.
We worked the same
flights a few times
and... And she had the rent
on this place for layovers,
and that was about it.
But I do know one thing:
Joy was smart. Real
hip and very careful.
If she got into a car with
somebody, it was a man she knew.
Or a man she
knew she could trust.
I got bowling tonight. - JOE?
What about the washing machine?
What about the washing machine?
I told you last night
it went kaput again
and it can't be fixed.
"No way," the
man said. "No way."
Well, then what's the problem?
We'll just buy you
another washing machine.
Oh, Joe! Mwah! You're beautiful.
I think you're pretty. Uh-huh.
See you.
Okay. After bowling.
Honey, I got to go
because I told the guys I would.
I know, I'm only
teasing you. Goodbye.
Uh, good morning, ma'am.
What is it, officer?
I'm sorry to
disturb you, but, uh,
we've had a few burglaries
in this area recently,
and we're checking the residents
to see if they might know
something that could help us.
Hm, well, I'm sorry,
but I... I'm afraid I
don't really know...
Would you mind if I
ask a few questions?
Like I told you, I do...
I don't know anything.
Well, you see, people
sometimes know something
they don't realize is important.
Yeah. I suppose you're
right. Won't you come in?
Well, I guess that covers it.
Well, I'm sorry, officer,
that I couldn't be of any help.
Oh, well, don't be
sorry. You still can be.
How?
I'll show you.
You know, you really
got beautiful legs.
And the rest of
you is just fantastic.
Shut up!
Get out! Get out!
Don't scream! Shut up!
Come on. Fight me. Fight me.
Don't scream.
I think the photos show it
even better than the cast.
You can see it here.
This mark. And this one.
They're made by the
small stubs of rubber
you find on all new tires.
They wear off quickly,
within a few hundred miles.
So the tires were new.
Very new.
What about tread design?
Have you identified any
particular brand from it?
Yes. It's made by the
American Ohio rubber company.
Their top-of-the-line
tire, called Mileage Maker.
The company has a
branch office in Pearl City.
Get out there, Danno.
Get a list of retailers
who handle this brand. Right.
Andrea?
Andrea?
Yo, Andrea. It's me, Tina.
Andrea?
McGARRETT: All
four attacks took place
within this general area.
And in two cases, Sharon
Power and Joy Muller,
the victims got
into the rapist's car
and apparently did so willingly.
So we know this much:
The guy looks for his
victims, or some of them,
along deserted
stretches of road.
He's confident that he
can get them into his car.
Now, there's a chance
we can use that knowledge.
Well, what's your plan, Steve?
We'll need H.P.D.'s help.
Ask them to assign six of their
policewomen to a special unit.
The youngest and
prettiest they have.
I want to stake them
out in cars and on foot
on the loneliest stretches of
road we can find in this area.
And maybe, just maybe,
the killer will take the bait.
Steve.
List of retail outlets
from American Ohio.
How many do we have, Danno?
Forty-one. Wow.
A lot of ground to cover.
I suggest preliminary
telephone contacts,
find out which retail outlets
might have sold a pair
of Mileage Makers
in the last few weeks,
and turn the list over to
H.P.D. let them check it out.
Save us a lot of
time and legwork.
And concentrate
on the pair, Danno.
Most people buy a
single tire or all four.
Central to McGarrett.
McGarrett.
We've got another
beating and strangle victim.
When? About an hour ago.
She's at Queen's Hospital.
What's her name?
Andrea Burdick.
Okay. Thank you for calling.
Ten-four.
We might have
victim number five.
Woman badly beaten,
same strangulation pattern.
Possibly raped. But alive.
Her name is Burdick,
Andrea Burdick.
She's at Queen's Hospital.
Danno, you and
Ben get over there.
Right.
Chin, start calling
these tire dealers.
Duke, get that stakeout set up.
I want to work it
round the clock.
McGarrett.
We're here at the hospital.
We just talked to Dr. Akkuda.
Mrs. Burdick is in deep shock.
She was beaten and raped.
The doctor doesn't know
when we can talk to her.
I see. Okay, Danno.
Uh, tell Ben to stay there
until she comes around
and let me know as
soon as it happens.
Oh, one more thing.
Put a guard on her door.
Twenty-four hours. Right.
Anything I can do, miss?
Uh, no, thank
you. I'm all right.
You sure? There's a service
station just down the road.
I've already sent for help.
Just trying to do you a favor.
Thank you just the same.
DUKE: Who was that?
Uh, just a local farmer
and a kid. No problem.
False alarm.
Hi.
You having trouble?
Well, not exactly.
What happened? It
just fold up on you?
Listen, mac, you're not
supposed to be here.
The orders were for all
cars to stay clear of this area.
What are you talking about?
This is a stakeout. You
blundered into a stakeout.
What's going on there?
Who is that, Laura?
I am sorry.
Nobody clued me in.
Laura, are you there?
I'm okay. Just another officer.
I don't know what he was doing
here, but... But he's gone now.
What was it? Did
you get his name?
No, he... He took
off in a big hurry.
Kolea says it must have
been Officer Samuels.
He was assigned to this beat.
Why, I know Samuels.
It wasn't him.
Well, can you describe him?
Tall, medium-built.
About 175-80 pounds,
6'1 ", 6'2".
I really didn't get a good look.
Half of his face was
covered by those glasses.
Hair? LAURA: Brown.
Anything special about him?
The way he walked,
the way he talked?
Well, he didn't say much.
When he heard Duke's
voice, he just split.
What about his car?
Brown four-door.
Uh, Ford, maybe.
Uh, could have been a Buick.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I really didn't pay
that much attention.
All I was thinking was,
"Hey, man, take off.
We've got work here."
I really didn't zero
on him, you know?
Okay, honey. Okay. Thank you.
A cop nobody knows
stumbles into our stakeout,
then takes off like
a frightened rabbit
when he finds out what it is.
I can't believe it's a cop.
No, I don't wanna think
about it either, Duke.
But... it would
explain a lot of things.
Why those girls got into his car
without giving him any trouble.
Why he was admitted
to those homes.
Get Che out to
the stakeout area.
See if he can pick up
any tire tracks. Right.
Central to McGarrett.
Ben Kokua on the line.
McGarrett.
Mrs. Burdick can talk.
Okay.
Now we're gonna find out
if we're dealing with a cop.
I'm on my way.
Joe.
Don't cry.
Oh, Joe, it was...
Don't talk about anything.
I have to tell you.
I... I have to.
A cop.
A cop!
They're standing out
there waiting to talk to you.
Honey, listen to me.
Listen, don't say a word.
Don't tell them a thing.
Do you know what they'd do
if you told them it was a cop?
They'd cut you to
ribbons! They don't care!
All they care about is
saving their own kind.
Just keep your mouth shut.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Mr. Burdick, I'm
McGarrett of Five-0.
I know.
I'd like to speak
with your wife.
You're not going to.
Oh? Why is that?
Because I said so.
I see.
Well, I'm afraid that's
not good enough.
Now, listen to me, McGarrett.
You leave my wife alone.
She's got nothing to say to you.
Not now, not ever!
Four women have been
murdered, raped and...
You heard me, Mr. McGarrett!
Get out of here and
leave my wife alone!
And take him with you!
Mr. Burdick, as terrible as
your wife's experience was,
she's fortunate to be alive.
Alive to tell us what the man
who attacked her looked like.
I suppose that's all
you're gonna ask her?
You're gonna ask her
if he was good-looking,
if he had a good
build, did she enjoy it?
I mean, before he
started to strangle her.
You are not going to make
my wife out to be a tramp.
I have no intention of
doing anything like that.
Bull!
I know just how you cops think,
just like everybody!
She was asking for it!
A woman gets raped,
and she's asking for it!
I don't think that. I
never did. Do you?
Now, Mr. Burdick, let's
get something straight here.
No one, no one,
has more compassion for
that lady in there than I have.
I've dealt with a
lot of rape cases.
I know the trauma
and the anguish
that she must have gone through.
But I'm gonna to
talk with your wife
with your permission or without.
Now, you can make it
as easy on her as possible
or you can make it hard.
Now, which is it going to be?
Ben, call the district
attorney's office.
Tell them that I want to talk
with John Manicote right away.
Hold it.
All right.
Talk to her.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Ben, wait for me.
Honey, this is
McGarrett of Five-0.
He didn't believe
me when I told him
you didn't want to talk to him.
Mrs. Burdick, I... I know
how difficult it is to talk about
what you've just been through.
But, as painful as it is,
I... I... I would like to know
exactly what happened.
We think the man
who attacked you
has killed four women
in less than two weeks.
Now, he could kill
again at any moment.
By some miracle, you
escaped being killed.
Now, I want to know everything
you can tell me about him:
What he looked like, why
you admitted him to your home.
I... I can't tell you anything.
You mean you won't tell me.
P-please, I...
Why won't you tell me?
Do you realize
what you're doing?
There's a madman
loose in this town.
He'll go right on
killing and raping.
Now, if you don't
help us stop him,
every murder he commits from
now on will be with your blessing.
Please!
Leave me alone, please.
Leave me alone.
She won't talk?
Not with that husband
of hers in there.
She's afraid of him
and she's afraid of me,
and I don't know why.
Here he is now. For
you, Mr. McGarrett.
Oh. Thank you, nurse. McGarrett.
I picked up one tire track at
the stakeout location, Steve.
Another Mileage Maker.
It matches the left
front of the one we found
by Joy Muller's car.
Okay, Che. Thanks very much.
What is it, Steve?
It looks like we're after a cop.
Believe me, we...
We're doing the
only thing we can.
You've got to think of yourself.
And Debbie. You...
You gotta think of her too.
And look, when...
When you're well...
we'll go away
for a little while.
Maybe we'll go for a
vacation or we'll move back.
I don't know.
Someplace where...
Where nobody knows.
Someplace where you
won't have to ashamed...
I didn't mean that.
Honest to God, honey,
I didn't mean that.
Oh, God, I didn't mean that.
Steve, there have been bad
apples on the force before.
I know it's been my
job to weed them out.
But this, a rapist-strangler,
now, that's hard to buy.
Well, you've got to pry
at the possibility anyway.
Okay. We've got 950 suspects.
That's how many we've got
driving known cars on patrol.
Where do we start?
By eliminating any
who don't drive, uh,
brown, four-door
Buicks or Fords,
then reducing the rest
to men with Type B blood.
If statistics hold,
that'll cull out almost
90 percent of them.
And Che and lab
boys can check the tires
on the cars that are left.
Oh, one more
thing. Very important.
Hit your computer.
Ask it to spit out the records
of every man who's been
bumped from the force
or washed out during
his probationary period.
How far back you want to go?
For starters, five
years. Meanwhile,
I'll be praying. But
I'm not sure for what.
I'll be kneeling
right next to you, Ed.
Address?
How many tires did he buy?
Hawaii Five-o calling.
Let me talk to the manager.
Okay. Thank you.
Danno, look at these. Yeah.
Steve, Duke just called. Yeah.
He's got the records
of the probationary
washouts from H.P.D.
He and Laura are
going over them now.
Williams.
Yeah, he's right here, captain.
Harada.
Yes, Ed.
Steve, we've come
up with 59 possibles.
I'm calling them in
in alphabetical order.
The lab's checking the
tires of the first group now.
I'll send Che and some of his
boys over to give you a hand.
We can use it.
How are we doing
with the tire dealers?
One guy bought
two tires last month,
but he had them put on the rear.
I'm having H.P.D. check it
out. He could've switched them.
Okay. Stay with it, now.
You can send them
back to work, captain.
Dismiss them and get
the next bunch in here.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
If the man I saw out there
is in here, I can't spot him.
Damn, if I only used
my head out there.
Relax, honey. Stop
blaming yourself.
Steve, what have you got done?
Zero. Chin and Ben still have
a few more tire dealers to call.
So far the only names we got
are customers who
bought sets of four.
Ah, we're getting
nowhere. Nowhere.
And while we're
spinning our wheels,
the guy is out there somewhere
on the prowl for another woman.
Well, doctor?
Sorry, Mr. McGarrett.
She refuses to see you.
Is her husband with her?
No.
Uh, do me a favor,
will you, doctor?
Give her this, please.
May I ask what it is?
It's a... It's a police matter.
Thank you.
Is he gone?
Yes. But he asked
me to give you this.
I... I don't want it.
McGarrett.
It's Harada, Steve.
Oh. Hello, Ed.
Something wrong? You sound
like you were down the cellar.
No, no, no. I just thought it
might be Mrs. Burdick calling.
Well, I've got good news.
All of our 59 possibles
check out clean.
Not one Mileage
Maker in the lot.
I guess that's good news.
Well, if it clears your
men, it's good news, Ed.
Thank God for that.
And, uh, thanks for calling.
Hello.
Hi.
You're new around
here, aren't you?
Yeah. I... I moved in yesterday.
The name's Donna. Donna Wilson.
Look, uh, would you like to
come next door to my place
and have a beer?
Oh, thanks, but I'm
expecting a phone call.
Maybe another time, huh?
Unless you'd like
me to buy you one.
When I first saw it...
I wished to god he'd killed me.
I felt so ashamed.
So... so dirty.
But then I looked at it again.
And I just kept staring at it.
And I started to tell myself I
didn't have to feel ashamed.
Stop! You have got to
forget what happened!
I can't forget.
Neither can you.
We never will.
Joe, all we can do is...
Is try to understand
what's happened
and live with it.
And... And not let it
happen to anybody else
if we can do
anything to stop it.
What are you saying?
You know what I'm saying.
Call the police.
Call Mr. McGarrett.
Andrea.
Joe, please.
If you love me.
If what's happened
hasn't changed
how you feel about me.
McGARRETT: All right.
Let's get back to square one.
Steve, I think we got something.
Just talked to Palm Tire Mart.
Has a record of selling
only two Mileage Makers
to a guy named Stark.
Walter Stark. Charged
it on a credit card...
Walter Stark? He was
on the washout list.
Address: The Esplanade Hawaiki,
Apartment 25-C.
Let's go.
WOMAN: Hawaii Five-0.
Mr. McGarrett, please.
Joseph Burdick calling.
Mr. McGarrett
isn't in, Mr. Burdick.
May I help you?
Yes. Would you please
give him a message?
Ask him to call my wife.
Yes, I will.
You got another?
Sorry, sheriff.
That's the last one.
Well, I'll go to my place
and get some more.
Look, I hate to
bust up the party,
but I've still got a lot
of unpacking to do.
But it looks fine to me.
If you could see the
junk I've got in this closet,
I mean, you just wouldn't...
Hey, sheriff, take it ea...
Oh!
Get out of here.
Get out. Get out!
Come on. Fight me. Fight me.
Don't scream, but fight me.
Ben, Chin, get the back.
Open up, Stark! Five-0!
Jenny just radioed a message
for you from Mr. Burdick.
His wife wants to talk to you.
Yeah?
Well, call her back and tell her
there's nothing
more to talk about.
