Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 7, Episode 16 - A Woman's Work Is with a Gun - full transcript
After killing a drug dealer who stiffed her, an impoverished psychotic woman asks her friends (who are in similar dire financial straits) to go with her on a scheme to rob tour buses for the valuables the tourists are carrying. The other two women agree, but things go south when the leader, Dina, starts using her big .45 automatic far too many times.
Oh, Lew, I'm begging you.
I'll do anything.
All you can do for me
is turn my stomach.
This is Jack Lord, inviting
you to be with us next for...
"A Woman's Work is With a Gun."
There's only one thing
that can solve that problem.
Yours and mine and yours too,
if you really meant
what you said in there.
Money.
All we have to do
is find a way to get it.
There's always one way.
How? Steal it.
( suspenseful theme playing)
Drive and keep driving.
Get in.
Danno, tourists are bread
and butter to these islands
and they don't come here to
get ripped off by men or women.
Are you out of your mind?
Every policeman on the
island is looking for you.
And sooner or later,
you'll get caught.
If I get caught, you get caught.
Next, "Woman's
Work." (glass shatters)
Be here. Aloha.
( upbeat surf theme playing)
( mysterious theme playing)
You don't look so good, baby.
Never mind how I look.
You got something for me?
That's my question.
Look, Lew, I... Wait,
wait, wait a minute.
Listen, Lew. Hold it there.
You said a dime bag.
I said, have you got the
price? You said, yeah, you did.
Well, I thought
I'd have it for you.
What you thought
don't buy nothing.
I'll have it for you
in a couple of days.
Great. Call me then. Lew,
my God, I'm begging you.
Let go of me. Now look,
I'm gonna forget
about the two bills
you already owe me.
But I don't wanna hear
from you again. Never.
You understand? (sobbing)
Oh, Lew, I'm begging you.
I'll do anything.
Anything. Anything.
Have you looked at
yourself, sweetheart?
All you can do for me
is turn my stomach.
(sobbing)
( tense theme playing)
(screams)
(sobbing, panting)
(sobbing)
Jenny, those affidavits
on the McFarland
case come in yet?
Right here. Oh, good. Thank you.
Steve in? Hi, Duke.
You won't believe this
but he took the day off.
You're kidding. Nope.
He went sailing.
Who was the
silver-tongued orator
who talked him into that?
The governor.
Well, that explains it.
But even he needed some help
from the speaker of the house.
(laughs)
Anything important, Duke?
No, I'll catch him later.
Heard the news? What?
On the radio,
just as I drove up.
Lew Chang was found dead
up on Waimanalo Beach,
lying beside his car
with a slug in his back.
No kidding.
Well, I can't think of
anybody more deserving, huh?
H.P.D. got any line
on who dropped him?
With a pusher like Chang,
it's "standing room only" time.
( ominous theme playing)
WOMAN: Hi.
(both laughing)
Dina.
Where have you been?
We've been worried about
you. We called and called.
Didn't get an answer. Phone
had been disconnected.
WOMAN 1: When we went to
your place, all the landlady would say
was that you were gone.
WOMAN 2: Where have you been?
In a clinic.
Oh, Dina.
DINA: I had to have help.
I finally realized I
couldn't do it alone.
Honey, you weren't alone.
DINA: Not with you, maybe.
But with them,
sitting around once a
week, listening to them gripe
because the jerks
they're married to
give them hell
when dinner's late?
Or bawl their eyes out
because he's chasing
the new girl at the office.
DINA: What do they know?
They know what they feel
and it helps to get it out.
Look, I'm not knocking it,
it's just that I had
to go another route.
DINA: And it worked.
Hey, look at my
head. Is it on straight?
Perfect.
You look wonderful. (laughing)
And how about you two?
Is everything been
coming up roses
now that you've been
letting it all hang out?
I'm sorry.
How's Johnny?
He needs another operation.
And how is sitting
in on this talkathon
gonna get it for him?
Look, talk may help you
but it can't help your kid.
There's only one thing
that can solve that problem,
yours, and mine, and yours too,
if you really meant
what you said in there
a couple of months ago.
Money.
(chuckles)
I can't argue with that.
Now all we have to
do is find a way to get it.
There's always one way.
How?
Steal it.
You... You can't be serious.
Why not?
Because it's... It's crazy.
We couldn't do it.
I could.
And how do you
know you couldn't?
I...
I just couldn't.
Then what was all that talk
about how you'd drop that
husband of yours right now
if only you had a
stake of your own?
Was it just talk?
No.
But what you're suggesting...
(sighs)
Maybe you're right.
Maybe it is crazy.
All I know is that if I don't
get my hands on some money,
I'm gonna go right
back down the slide.
No, Dina, not if
you're... If what?
I'm strong enough?
Well, I'm not and I know it.
How do I live?
An ex-junkie with a
record from here to Boston?
Nobody would hire me
to take out the garbage.
What about your
family? My family?
They'd lock the doors
if they saw me walking
home across the Pacific.
This is one Little Orphan Annie
whose Daddy Warbucks
won't give her the time of day.
I... I have to get home.
And I have to
go to the hospital.
I'll drop you on the way.
We'll be in touch.
I hope so.
You know,
there was one good thing
I got out of those
rap sessions in there.
The way the three
of us, well, sort of...
found one another.
I guess I wanted a
mother again so badly I...
adopted two of them.
(door closes, engine starts)
McGARRETT: Well,
that's a wrap-up.
Sam Mandel, Phil Kawa, 15 years.
No parole.
There's still some
mopping up to do
on their North Shore
operation, though.
H.P.D. can handle
that. No problem.
Okay, how's the department
doing on the Lew Chang hit?
No leads yet.
Odd thing about it,
we found almost a
half a kilo of heroin
under the back
seat of Chang's car.
If it was a contract job,
a pro hit man would
have given the car a toss
and found it in two seconds.
What you're saying is
that it was an amateur?
It's beginning to smell like it.
(siren blaring)
( melancholy theme playing)
Mrs. Scott, Mr. Hoffman
of the business office
would like to see
you before you leave.
Yes.
Bringing the unpaid
balance as of yesterday
to $1436.80.
And now I understand Dr. Linden
feels that additional
surgery is necessary.
Tremendously expensive surgery.
Yes.
With the postoperative
care he'll require,
it could run to over $10,000.
Your medical insurance
has run out, I see.
Also that you're divorced.
But what about the boy's father?
Couldn't he help?
I don't know where he is.
I'm not pressing,
understand, Mrs. Scott,
but the hospital...
All the hospital has to do
is take care of my
son, Mr. Hoffman.
You'll get your
money. Every cent of it.
(phone ringing)
(TV explosions, phone ringing)
Maggie.
Get the phone, Maggie.
(ringing continues)
Maggie.
The phone.
Where you doing the
laundry now, across the street?
Hello? Margaret?
Fay.
I've been thinking
about what Dina said.
FAY: Maybe we should
take her up on her idea.
I've been thinking
the same thing.
I've been thinking
a lot about it.
( suspenseful theme playing)
Where's it go after Hawaii Kai?
Along Kalanianaole Highway,
past, uh, Makapuu Point.
The best place would be
here, at Sherwood Forest.
All right, be there.
I don't want it.
What are you gonna
use, your charm?
Dina.
Take it.
Look, maybe we should...
It is too late for maybes.
Now take this thing.
It's not even loaded.
You don't have
to use it, Margaret.
DINA: Put it in your bag.
Now let's get on that bus.
( tense theme playing)
Well, folks, our next
stop will be Kailua,
a picturesque beach community.
Most of the vegetation
you see on the island
has been planted either
by birds or human hands.
Right now, looking to the left,
here we see the
beautiful Mount Olomana.
Olomana tells about the chief
back in the early years.
What happened was, the
chief did wrong to the people
in the early years.
So the people gathered
together, slit him from head to toe,
then they threw his body
to the sea and
elected a new chief,
who made very, very sure
he never did any
wrong to the people.
Turn off here into
Sherwood Forest.
Okay, this is a hold up.
(people gasping)
Everybody, do as I say
and nobody will get hurt.
Okay, stop here.
Put your cash and
jewelry in the bag.
Come on.
Come on!
(engine running)
( ominous theme playing)
Hurry it up.
Move it!
Come on.
Drive and keep driving.
( suspenseful theme playing)
(camera clicking)
Get in.
Please, no. Get in.
(Margaret sobbing)
Get out of here.
Yeah.
What?
Got it.
Got a wild one, Steve.
What do you mean "wild
one"? Hold up near Waimanalo.
Two women knocked
over a tour bus.
Two women? Armed robbery?
Yeah. H.P.D.'s
getting the details now.
Danno, tourists are bread
and butter to these islands
and they don't come here to
get ripped off by men or women.
Give H.P.D. a hand
and report back.
Right.
DUKE: Why don't you
check the back seat again?
What have you got,
Duke? You name it, I got it.
I can't get the same
description twice.
Hair, clothes, nothing.
You know what witnesses are like
after they look down
the end of a gun.
Yeah. I did get one thing.
A guy claims he took
six pictures of the two girls
as they ran from the scene.
I don't know how good it is
but the guy was pretty jumpy.
Well, let's find out.
Get it to the lab. Right.
I'll have a look inside.
Which one are you talking about?
The one at the front of the bus.
That was the other one.
The one in the front had long...
Ladies, ladies. I ought to know!
She was sitting with
her gun right in my face.
Can you describe the
gun? Yes. It was small and...
Small? It was the biggest
gun I ever saw in my life.
All right, ladies,
thank you very much.
You've been a great help.
How's it going, Chin? Swell.
If I bought every
description I've heard so far,
I'd say ten different
women held up that bus.
See if you can eliminate
about eight of them.
I'm going back to the office.
( dramatic theme playing)
DANNO: Then they got off the
bus, told the driver to drive on.
Descriptions of the women vary.
No chance of getting H.P.D.
composites or computer readouts.
Best estimate of their take
is $10,000 cash and jewelry.
Didn't even bother
with traveler's checks.
Lab boys get any
prints? No, not a smear.
But H.P.D. did come up
with some fresh tire tracks,
near the scene, behind
some heavy foliage.
But not good enough
for plaster casts.
Too bad. I'll be
with Che at the lab.
( mysterious theme playing)
What have you got,
Che? Take a look.
Best I could do. The
guy was pretty shaky.
His camera was set at
normal shutter speed.
It wouldn't freeze the
women's movements.
That's why they're so blurred.
McGARRETT: There is no
way we can run a make on these.
Any way you can clear them up?
There is a process used
by the space program.
It's called computer
image enhancement.
It was originally developed
to improve the clarity
of lunar and planetary photos.
It, uh, removes distortion,
magnifies, enhances resolution.
It might give us
a better picture.
Give it a try.
Whole time it was
happening, I kept telling myself:
"I'm not doing this.
It's someone else.
I'm not doing it."
It's pretty unreal, isn't it?
What if we get caught?
Then we get caught.
There isn't anything
we can do about it,
so don't think about it.
There is one thing we could do.
Stop.
Not until I get the
money for Johnny.
If I should lose him,
I... I wouldn't care
what happened to me.
And would prison be that much
worse than what you've got now?
How far do you think
that will take you?
How long could you live on it?
Look, I've been there, I know.
(sighs)
After Lyle left me, I...
It took six months
just to get the nerve
to go out and look for a job.
And then after I
found the nerve,
I found out something else.
There wasn't one damn
thing I knew how to do,
except keep house.
(doorbell ringing)
(chuckles) (sighs)
Wait till you see what I've got.
You sold the jewelry.
To a friend of a friend of mine.
Two thousand for
you. Six thousand?
And 2000 for you.
And 2000 and what for me?
Here, 1400.
(laughs)
Keep this for me.
If I take it home,
Ed might find it.
Well, girls, when do
we go back to work?
( ominous theme playing)
Everybody, stay in their seats.
Cute. Real cute.
Put it in the bag.
Put it in the bag!
(people screaming)
( suspenseful theme playing)
(screaming)
(laughing hysterically)
FRANK (over radio): Those
same two women again, Steve.
One of them thought she
was in a shooting gallery.
Lucky no one was seriously hurt.
Thank God for that. Anyone
see a getaway car this time?
No. How much did they get?
FRANK: About 5000 in cash.
No telling yet how
much in jewelry.
They skipped traveler's
checks this time,
as near as we can tell.
Okay, Frank. Thank you.
We've got a bigger problem
than we figured, gentlemen.
One of those women obviously
flipped out for some reason.
Now if it happens again,
she may start blasting
people instead of windows.
Get out there, give
Frank and Duke a hand.
Hit this and hit it hard
before it gets
completely out of hand.
It was stupid.
DINA: Why are we carrying guns
if we're not supposed
to use them?
You didn't have to use it.
I think we'd better
stop right now.
No way.
We made a deal.
We said 10,000 apiece and
that's what we're gonna get.
I'm wondering if you're in this
for something more than money.
What's that supposed to mean?
You think I'm still
on junk, don't you?
Don't you?
No. Well, I don't care
who's in this for
what. I'm going home.
To what?
Dina.
It's all right.
Margaret!
Wait.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what
happened. I just lost my head.
( soft theme playing)
Look, I'm just as
scared as you are.
( ominous theme playing)
What about you?
(sighs)
I sure blew it, didn't I?
What about Johnny?
I'll get the money
some other way.
Look, you can have my share.
I'll sell all the jewelry
that we got today
and that'll give you
enough to... No, Dina.
I don't want it.
Thanks anyway.
Still friends?
Of course. Call me?
Sure.
(door closes)
McGARRETT: Very
impressive. How did you do it?
Take a look.
As you know,
pictures are made up
of a composition of small spots
or dots called reseau marks.
Now, the enhancement
process removes distortion
by utilizing the computer to
locate these reseau marks,
and then transforms the
picture into correct geometry,
based on the observed
location of the reseau marks.
What does that
mean in English, Che?
Simply, the computer
locates the dots,
cleans them up, and puts
them back in the right place.
That's the way I like it.
Right to the nitty-gritty, huh?
Well, the wigs and
sunglasses sure don't help any.
I doubt if we could get a make.
What is this area right here?
CHE: Looks like a shadow
but could be almost anything.
McGARRETT: How far can you
take that enhancement process?
CHE: No guarantee
but I'll do a version
of that section. Good.
I understand your boys dug
some slugs out of that bus.
Right. Dave's working on it now.
Keep on it, Che. Let me know.
( ominous theme playing)
Hey, what is this?
You know I bowl tonight.
Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.
You've been forgetting
an awful lot lately,
since you been going to those
bull sessions with those dames.
Ed, just give me the shirt.
I've had it up to here.
You go to one more
of those hen parties,
I'll give you something
to bellyache about.
(door shuts)
( mysterious theme playing)
No doubt about it.
McGarrett. Yeah, Che?
Are you sitting down?
Well, it's kind of hard
to drive standing up.
We just got hit with
something from out in left field.
CHE: Those slugs we
dug from the tour bus
came from the same gun
that dropped Lew Chang.
Steve? Are you there?
Yeah, Che.
Are you sure? Positive.
( soft theme playing)
Danno?
Pay dirt, Steve.
The getaway car.
And our third party, huh?
The car looks like a 1964 Comet.
Che couldn't bring out
the license numbers.
McGARRETT: Well,
maybe we can get it.
Have Motor Vehicles
give us the names
of every registered owner
of this model on the island.
Have copies made,
get them to H.P.D.
Right.
Hear about Lew Chang? Yeah.
Same gun. Same gun.
( ominous theme playing)
175 to Central.
MAN (over radio
): Central Dispatch.
I've got a tour bus parked on
the old Diamond Head Road
near the tunnel.
Could be those female
suspects on a possible 211.
Send me some backup.
I'm gonna check it out.
MAN: Ten-four.
(tires screeching)
(passengers screaming)
( suspenseful theme playing)
OFFICER: Stay where
you are. Drop your weapon.
(screams)
(gunshot)
(gunshots, glass shattering)
(engine starts)
(sobbing)
Forget her. She's dead.
Get in.
( solemn theme playing)
Who got it?
Tom Kamaka, a year on the force.
I knew Tom and his
wife, Miley, pretty well.
Maybe I should be the
one to break the news.
Yeah, Duke, maybe you should.
What about the
dead woman, Danno?
On her way to the morgue.
Any ID? Tentative.
We found an
envelope in her pocket
addressed to a
Mrs. Edward Hudson.
Chin's checking the address now.
But whoever she is, Steve,
she didn't kill Officer Kamaka.
How do you know that?
Empty. And it hasn't
been fired recently, if ever.
Saturday night special, huh?
CHIN: Steve, Danny,
got a report from
Motor Vehicles.
They've got a Margaret Hudson
at the address on that
envelope we found.
Okay, Chin, you
and Danno hit it.
Your wife was killed while
attempting armed robbery.
Maggie?
No, there's some mistake.
I'm sorry, Mr. Hudson.
It's no mistake.
Your wife and two other women
pulled off three
tour-bus robberies.
Close to 25,000 in
jewelry and cash taken
and a police officer killed.
No, you gotta be wrong.
CHIN: These were
taken by a passenger
at the scene of
the first robbery.
HUDSON: I can't believe it.
It don't make no sense.
I work my butt off for
that broad ten hours a day.
But that wasn't enough for her.
She had to go and...
(crumpling paper)
What about the other two
women? Do you know them?
No, she never told me nothing.
You got no idea where
she went or what she did
whenever she left the house?
She spent all her time
at that woman's center.
Women's center? HUDSON: Yeah.
Yakking all day with
a bunch of broads
about how tough their life was.
(sighs)
Maggie.
Miss Keola? Yes?
Williams, Kelly, Five-0.
We'd like to ask
a few questions.
Won't you come in? Thank you.
What can I do for you today?
Do you recognize
these two women?
KEOLA: The hair's not right,
but I'm sure this
is Cindy and Carol.
That woman has been
identified as a Margaret Hudson.
You could be right but I
know her only as Carol.
Well, how's that?
KEOLA: Let me explain.
The women in the encounter
groups here at the center
don't use their real
name. It's a policy.
Even though some of
them become friends,
they may have a
social, professional,
or even a family
life to protect.
Do you know this woman?
Only as Laura.
Do you know where we
can find her or the other two?
KEOLA: No. Because of
the nature of our sessions,
the center doesn't
require any registration
and we don't keep any records.
Okay. Thank you.
(doorbell ringing)
Who is it? DINA: It's Dina.
Gonna invite me in?
(sighs)
Can I get you a drink?
I'll get it.
You said you were gonna call.
I've been busy.
Join me.
No, thanks.
I stopped by your
office. They said you quit.
Uh... I've been
looking for another job.
In Honolulu? Yes.
You know, I was thinking,
we should send some
flowers to Margaret's funeral.
Anonymously, of course.
You felt so strongly about her.
It's really a pity you won't
be around when she's
laid to rest.
You really thought
you could leave
without me knowing?
I called the hospital
and they told me
your son's been transferred
to another hospital
on the Big Island.
All right, so I'm leaving.
What business is it of yours?
Half of Margaret's money.
Take it, all of it,
and get out of here.
All right, if that's
the way you want it.
Still not too late to
change your mind.
We never really needed
Margaret anyway.
And it would save me the
trouble of finding someone else
to work with.
Someone else?
You're not thinking of...?
Why, you're out of your mind.
Every policeman on the
island is looking for you.
And sooner or later,
you'll get caught.
And you think that
will be the end of it?
Oh, no.
If I get caught, you get caught.
(glass shattering)
( ominous theme playing)
(door shuts)
(ringing)
Yeah?
DANNO: We talked
to a Miss Keola.
She's the counselor
for the encounter group
at the women's center.
CHIN: Yeah. She
recognizes all three women
but she says none of the members
at the encounter session
use their real names.
Encourages them
to really unload.
There's no registration.
The center doesn't keep
any record of its women,
in order to protect
their anonymity.
So we hit another dead end, huh?
(door opens)
Got a list of all the owner
of 1964 Comet sedans.
There's over 200 of them.
McGARRETT: Two hundred?
Well, at least that's better
than the computer
came up with on her.
Okay, gentlemen,
we have a picture of
our driver with no name.
But if she has a
driver's license,
Motor Vehicles has a
picture of her with a name.
Frank, contact the Bureau.
Get a copy of
the driver's license
of every woman who
owns a '64 Comet.
We might get lucky. Chin,
warm up the computer.
CHIN: On it.
( mysterious theme playing)
(car approaching)
Mr. Hudson?
Yeah. And what's your name?
That's not important.
You were in on those bus
heists with my wife, weren't you?
We came here to
discuss $5000, remember?
I'm listening.
(unzipping bag)
I want you to do
something for me.
What?
I want you to...
To kill her. What?
You heard me.
What makes you think
I'd do something like that?
Because I know you, Mr. Hudson.
From Margaret.
I know every brutal, selfish,
greedy bone in your body.
So please, don't,
uh, try to fool me.
Half now.
If you, uh, want this
Dina Hale dead so bad,
why don't you do it yourself?
I would, if I could.
But I can't.
The rest, when it's done.
I don't know. I'd
have to think about it.
I'd like you to call me soon.
My number.
( ominous theme playing)
"Elaine Amako."
"Audrey Ames."
"Jean Anapoa."
(phone ringing)
Hello.
( ominous theme playing)
"Anita Malemo."
"Wilma Nelson."
Whoa. Wait, wait. Wait a minute.
Let me explain, will
you? Let me explain.
Empty your pockets. Yeah, yeah.
That's all. It's all I got.
Here.
You? Oh!
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
She paid me to kill you.
She? Yeah, Scott.
Her name's Scott.
And she gave me...
Gonna give me $5000,
half now and half when...
( suspenseful theme playing)
"Lucy Sands."
( mysterious theme playing)
"Fay Scott."
That's it.
Right. Great.
Got it, Chin. Good work.
You and Frank get there
on the double. I'll meet you.
Danno?
Danno, let's go.
( suspenseful theme playing)
( action theme playing)
( suspenseful theme playing)
(gunshot)
(moaning)
( dramatic theme playing)
Read them their rights,
Danno, then book them.
Murder one, two
counts for this one.
( upbeat surf theme playing)
I'll do anything.
All you can do for me
is turn my stomach.
This is Jack Lord, inviting
you to be with us next for...
"A Woman's Work is With a Gun."
There's only one thing
that can solve that problem.
Yours and mine and yours too,
if you really meant
what you said in there.
Money.
All we have to do
is find a way to get it.
There's always one way.
How? Steal it.
( suspenseful theme playing)
Drive and keep driving.
Get in.
Danno, tourists are bread
and butter to these islands
and they don't come here to
get ripped off by men or women.
Are you out of your mind?
Every policeman on the
island is looking for you.
And sooner or later,
you'll get caught.
If I get caught, you get caught.
Next, "Woman's
Work." (glass shatters)
Be here. Aloha.
( upbeat surf theme playing)
( mysterious theme playing)
You don't look so good, baby.
Never mind how I look.
You got something for me?
That's my question.
Look, Lew, I... Wait,
wait, wait a minute.
Listen, Lew. Hold it there.
You said a dime bag.
I said, have you got the
price? You said, yeah, you did.
Well, I thought
I'd have it for you.
What you thought
don't buy nothing.
I'll have it for you
in a couple of days.
Great. Call me then. Lew,
my God, I'm begging you.
Let go of me. Now look,
I'm gonna forget
about the two bills
you already owe me.
But I don't wanna hear
from you again. Never.
You understand? (sobbing)
Oh, Lew, I'm begging you.
I'll do anything.
Anything. Anything.
Have you looked at
yourself, sweetheart?
All you can do for me
is turn my stomach.
(sobbing)
( tense theme playing)
(screams)
(sobbing, panting)
(sobbing)
Jenny, those affidavits
on the McFarland
case come in yet?
Right here. Oh, good. Thank you.
Steve in? Hi, Duke.
You won't believe this
but he took the day off.
You're kidding. Nope.
He went sailing.
Who was the
silver-tongued orator
who talked him into that?
The governor.
Well, that explains it.
But even he needed some help
from the speaker of the house.
(laughs)
Anything important, Duke?
No, I'll catch him later.
Heard the news? What?
On the radio,
just as I drove up.
Lew Chang was found dead
up on Waimanalo Beach,
lying beside his car
with a slug in his back.
No kidding.
Well, I can't think of
anybody more deserving, huh?
H.P.D. got any line
on who dropped him?
With a pusher like Chang,
it's "standing room only" time.
( ominous theme playing)
WOMAN: Hi.
(both laughing)
Dina.
Where have you been?
We've been worried about
you. We called and called.
Didn't get an answer. Phone
had been disconnected.
WOMAN 1: When we went to
your place, all the landlady would say
was that you were gone.
WOMAN 2: Where have you been?
In a clinic.
Oh, Dina.
DINA: I had to have help.
I finally realized I
couldn't do it alone.
Honey, you weren't alone.
DINA: Not with you, maybe.
But with them,
sitting around once a
week, listening to them gripe
because the jerks
they're married to
give them hell
when dinner's late?
Or bawl their eyes out
because he's chasing
the new girl at the office.
DINA: What do they know?
They know what they feel
and it helps to get it out.
Look, I'm not knocking it,
it's just that I had
to go another route.
DINA: And it worked.
Hey, look at my
head. Is it on straight?
Perfect.
You look wonderful. (laughing)
And how about you two?
Is everything been
coming up roses
now that you've been
letting it all hang out?
I'm sorry.
How's Johnny?
He needs another operation.
And how is sitting
in on this talkathon
gonna get it for him?
Look, talk may help you
but it can't help your kid.
There's only one thing
that can solve that problem,
yours, and mine, and yours too,
if you really meant
what you said in there
a couple of months ago.
Money.
(chuckles)
I can't argue with that.
Now all we have to
do is find a way to get it.
There's always one way.
How?
Steal it.
You... You can't be serious.
Why not?
Because it's... It's crazy.
We couldn't do it.
I could.
And how do you
know you couldn't?
I...
I just couldn't.
Then what was all that talk
about how you'd drop that
husband of yours right now
if only you had a
stake of your own?
Was it just talk?
No.
But what you're suggesting...
(sighs)
Maybe you're right.
Maybe it is crazy.
All I know is that if I don't
get my hands on some money,
I'm gonna go right
back down the slide.
No, Dina, not if
you're... If what?
I'm strong enough?
Well, I'm not and I know it.
How do I live?
An ex-junkie with a
record from here to Boston?
Nobody would hire me
to take out the garbage.
What about your
family? My family?
They'd lock the doors
if they saw me walking
home across the Pacific.
This is one Little Orphan Annie
whose Daddy Warbucks
won't give her the time of day.
I... I have to get home.
And I have to
go to the hospital.
I'll drop you on the way.
We'll be in touch.
I hope so.
You know,
there was one good thing
I got out of those
rap sessions in there.
The way the three
of us, well, sort of...
found one another.
I guess I wanted a
mother again so badly I...
adopted two of them.
(door closes, engine starts)
McGARRETT: Well,
that's a wrap-up.
Sam Mandel, Phil Kawa, 15 years.
No parole.
There's still some
mopping up to do
on their North Shore
operation, though.
H.P.D. can handle
that. No problem.
Okay, how's the department
doing on the Lew Chang hit?
No leads yet.
Odd thing about it,
we found almost a
half a kilo of heroin
under the back
seat of Chang's car.
If it was a contract job,
a pro hit man would
have given the car a toss
and found it in two seconds.
What you're saying is
that it was an amateur?
It's beginning to smell like it.
(siren blaring)
( melancholy theme playing)
Mrs. Scott, Mr. Hoffman
of the business office
would like to see
you before you leave.
Yes.
Bringing the unpaid
balance as of yesterday
to $1436.80.
And now I understand Dr. Linden
feels that additional
surgery is necessary.
Tremendously expensive surgery.
Yes.
With the postoperative
care he'll require,
it could run to over $10,000.
Your medical insurance
has run out, I see.
Also that you're divorced.
But what about the boy's father?
Couldn't he help?
I don't know where he is.
I'm not pressing,
understand, Mrs. Scott,
but the hospital...
All the hospital has to do
is take care of my
son, Mr. Hoffman.
You'll get your
money. Every cent of it.
(phone ringing)
(TV explosions, phone ringing)
Maggie.
Get the phone, Maggie.
(ringing continues)
Maggie.
The phone.
Where you doing the
laundry now, across the street?
Hello? Margaret?
Fay.
I've been thinking
about what Dina said.
FAY: Maybe we should
take her up on her idea.
I've been thinking
the same thing.
I've been thinking
a lot about it.
( suspenseful theme playing)
Where's it go after Hawaii Kai?
Along Kalanianaole Highway,
past, uh, Makapuu Point.
The best place would be
here, at Sherwood Forest.
All right, be there.
I don't want it.
What are you gonna
use, your charm?
Dina.
Take it.
Look, maybe we should...
It is too late for maybes.
Now take this thing.
It's not even loaded.
You don't have
to use it, Margaret.
DINA: Put it in your bag.
Now let's get on that bus.
( tense theme playing)
Well, folks, our next
stop will be Kailua,
a picturesque beach community.
Most of the vegetation
you see on the island
has been planted either
by birds or human hands.
Right now, looking to the left,
here we see the
beautiful Mount Olomana.
Olomana tells about the chief
back in the early years.
What happened was, the
chief did wrong to the people
in the early years.
So the people gathered
together, slit him from head to toe,
then they threw his body
to the sea and
elected a new chief,
who made very, very sure
he never did any
wrong to the people.
Turn off here into
Sherwood Forest.
Okay, this is a hold up.
(people gasping)
Everybody, do as I say
and nobody will get hurt.
Okay, stop here.
Put your cash and
jewelry in the bag.
Come on.
Come on!
(engine running)
( ominous theme playing)
Hurry it up.
Move it!
Come on.
Drive and keep driving.
( suspenseful theme playing)
(camera clicking)
Get in.
Please, no. Get in.
(Margaret sobbing)
Get out of here.
Yeah.
What?
Got it.
Got a wild one, Steve.
What do you mean "wild
one"? Hold up near Waimanalo.
Two women knocked
over a tour bus.
Two women? Armed robbery?
Yeah. H.P.D.'s
getting the details now.
Danno, tourists are bread
and butter to these islands
and they don't come here to
get ripped off by men or women.
Give H.P.D. a hand
and report back.
Right.
DUKE: Why don't you
check the back seat again?
What have you got,
Duke? You name it, I got it.
I can't get the same
description twice.
Hair, clothes, nothing.
You know what witnesses are like
after they look down
the end of a gun.
Yeah. I did get one thing.
A guy claims he took
six pictures of the two girls
as they ran from the scene.
I don't know how good it is
but the guy was pretty jumpy.
Well, let's find out.
Get it to the lab. Right.
I'll have a look inside.
Which one are you talking about?
The one at the front of the bus.
That was the other one.
The one in the front had long...
Ladies, ladies. I ought to know!
She was sitting with
her gun right in my face.
Can you describe the
gun? Yes. It was small and...
Small? It was the biggest
gun I ever saw in my life.
All right, ladies,
thank you very much.
You've been a great help.
How's it going, Chin? Swell.
If I bought every
description I've heard so far,
I'd say ten different
women held up that bus.
See if you can eliminate
about eight of them.
I'm going back to the office.
( dramatic theme playing)
DANNO: Then they got off the
bus, told the driver to drive on.
Descriptions of the women vary.
No chance of getting H.P.D.
composites or computer readouts.
Best estimate of their take
is $10,000 cash and jewelry.
Didn't even bother
with traveler's checks.
Lab boys get any
prints? No, not a smear.
But H.P.D. did come up
with some fresh tire tracks,
near the scene, behind
some heavy foliage.
But not good enough
for plaster casts.
Too bad. I'll be
with Che at the lab.
( mysterious theme playing)
What have you got,
Che? Take a look.
Best I could do. The
guy was pretty shaky.
His camera was set at
normal shutter speed.
It wouldn't freeze the
women's movements.
That's why they're so blurred.
McGARRETT: There is no
way we can run a make on these.
Any way you can clear them up?
There is a process used
by the space program.
It's called computer
image enhancement.
It was originally developed
to improve the clarity
of lunar and planetary photos.
It, uh, removes distortion,
magnifies, enhances resolution.
It might give us
a better picture.
Give it a try.
Whole time it was
happening, I kept telling myself:
"I'm not doing this.
It's someone else.
I'm not doing it."
It's pretty unreal, isn't it?
What if we get caught?
Then we get caught.
There isn't anything
we can do about it,
so don't think about it.
There is one thing we could do.
Stop.
Not until I get the
money for Johnny.
If I should lose him,
I... I wouldn't care
what happened to me.
And would prison be that much
worse than what you've got now?
How far do you think
that will take you?
How long could you live on it?
Look, I've been there, I know.
(sighs)
After Lyle left me, I...
It took six months
just to get the nerve
to go out and look for a job.
And then after I
found the nerve,
I found out something else.
There wasn't one damn
thing I knew how to do,
except keep house.
(doorbell ringing)
(chuckles) (sighs)
Wait till you see what I've got.
You sold the jewelry.
To a friend of a friend of mine.
Two thousand for
you. Six thousand?
And 2000 for you.
And 2000 and what for me?
Here, 1400.
(laughs)
Keep this for me.
If I take it home,
Ed might find it.
Well, girls, when do
we go back to work?
( ominous theme playing)
Everybody, stay in their seats.
Cute. Real cute.
Put it in the bag.
Put it in the bag!
(people screaming)
( suspenseful theme playing)
(screaming)
(laughing hysterically)
FRANK (over radio): Those
same two women again, Steve.
One of them thought she
was in a shooting gallery.
Lucky no one was seriously hurt.
Thank God for that. Anyone
see a getaway car this time?
No. How much did they get?
FRANK: About 5000 in cash.
No telling yet how
much in jewelry.
They skipped traveler's
checks this time,
as near as we can tell.
Okay, Frank. Thank you.
We've got a bigger problem
than we figured, gentlemen.
One of those women obviously
flipped out for some reason.
Now if it happens again,
she may start blasting
people instead of windows.
Get out there, give
Frank and Duke a hand.
Hit this and hit it hard
before it gets
completely out of hand.
It was stupid.
DINA: Why are we carrying guns
if we're not supposed
to use them?
You didn't have to use it.
I think we'd better
stop right now.
No way.
We made a deal.
We said 10,000 apiece and
that's what we're gonna get.
I'm wondering if you're in this
for something more than money.
What's that supposed to mean?
You think I'm still
on junk, don't you?
Don't you?
No. Well, I don't care
who's in this for
what. I'm going home.
To what?
Dina.
It's all right.
Margaret!
Wait.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what
happened. I just lost my head.
( soft theme playing)
Look, I'm just as
scared as you are.
( ominous theme playing)
What about you?
(sighs)
I sure blew it, didn't I?
What about Johnny?
I'll get the money
some other way.
Look, you can have my share.
I'll sell all the jewelry
that we got today
and that'll give you
enough to... No, Dina.
I don't want it.
Thanks anyway.
Still friends?
Of course. Call me?
Sure.
(door closes)
McGARRETT: Very
impressive. How did you do it?
Take a look.
As you know,
pictures are made up
of a composition of small spots
or dots called reseau marks.
Now, the enhancement
process removes distortion
by utilizing the computer to
locate these reseau marks,
and then transforms the
picture into correct geometry,
based on the observed
location of the reseau marks.
What does that
mean in English, Che?
Simply, the computer
locates the dots,
cleans them up, and puts
them back in the right place.
That's the way I like it.
Right to the nitty-gritty, huh?
Well, the wigs and
sunglasses sure don't help any.
I doubt if we could get a make.
What is this area right here?
CHE: Looks like a shadow
but could be almost anything.
McGARRETT: How far can you
take that enhancement process?
CHE: No guarantee
but I'll do a version
of that section. Good.
I understand your boys dug
some slugs out of that bus.
Right. Dave's working on it now.
Keep on it, Che. Let me know.
( ominous theme playing)
Hey, what is this?
You know I bowl tonight.
Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.
You've been forgetting
an awful lot lately,
since you been going to those
bull sessions with those dames.
Ed, just give me the shirt.
I've had it up to here.
You go to one more
of those hen parties,
I'll give you something
to bellyache about.
(door shuts)
( mysterious theme playing)
No doubt about it.
McGarrett. Yeah, Che?
Are you sitting down?
Well, it's kind of hard
to drive standing up.
We just got hit with
something from out in left field.
CHE: Those slugs we
dug from the tour bus
came from the same gun
that dropped Lew Chang.
Steve? Are you there?
Yeah, Che.
Are you sure? Positive.
( soft theme playing)
Danno?
Pay dirt, Steve.
The getaway car.
And our third party, huh?
The car looks like a 1964 Comet.
Che couldn't bring out
the license numbers.
McGARRETT: Well,
maybe we can get it.
Have Motor Vehicles
give us the names
of every registered owner
of this model on the island.
Have copies made,
get them to H.P.D.
Right.
Hear about Lew Chang? Yeah.
Same gun. Same gun.
( ominous theme playing)
175 to Central.
MAN (over radio
): Central Dispatch.
I've got a tour bus parked on
the old Diamond Head Road
near the tunnel.
Could be those female
suspects on a possible 211.
Send me some backup.
I'm gonna check it out.
MAN: Ten-four.
(tires screeching)
(passengers screaming)
( suspenseful theme playing)
OFFICER: Stay where
you are. Drop your weapon.
(screams)
(gunshot)
(gunshots, glass shattering)
(engine starts)
(sobbing)
Forget her. She's dead.
Get in.
( solemn theme playing)
Who got it?
Tom Kamaka, a year on the force.
I knew Tom and his
wife, Miley, pretty well.
Maybe I should be the
one to break the news.
Yeah, Duke, maybe you should.
What about the
dead woman, Danno?
On her way to the morgue.
Any ID? Tentative.
We found an
envelope in her pocket
addressed to a
Mrs. Edward Hudson.
Chin's checking the address now.
But whoever she is, Steve,
she didn't kill Officer Kamaka.
How do you know that?
Empty. And it hasn't
been fired recently, if ever.
Saturday night special, huh?
CHIN: Steve, Danny,
got a report from
Motor Vehicles.
They've got a Margaret Hudson
at the address on that
envelope we found.
Okay, Chin, you
and Danno hit it.
Your wife was killed while
attempting armed robbery.
Maggie?
No, there's some mistake.
I'm sorry, Mr. Hudson.
It's no mistake.
Your wife and two other women
pulled off three
tour-bus robberies.
Close to 25,000 in
jewelry and cash taken
and a police officer killed.
No, you gotta be wrong.
CHIN: These were
taken by a passenger
at the scene of
the first robbery.
HUDSON: I can't believe it.
It don't make no sense.
I work my butt off for
that broad ten hours a day.
But that wasn't enough for her.
She had to go and...
(crumpling paper)
What about the other two
women? Do you know them?
No, she never told me nothing.
You got no idea where
she went or what she did
whenever she left the house?
She spent all her time
at that woman's center.
Women's center? HUDSON: Yeah.
Yakking all day with
a bunch of broads
about how tough their life was.
(sighs)
Maggie.
Miss Keola? Yes?
Williams, Kelly, Five-0.
We'd like to ask
a few questions.
Won't you come in? Thank you.
What can I do for you today?
Do you recognize
these two women?
KEOLA: The hair's not right,
but I'm sure this
is Cindy and Carol.
That woman has been
identified as a Margaret Hudson.
You could be right but I
know her only as Carol.
Well, how's that?
KEOLA: Let me explain.
The women in the encounter
groups here at the center
don't use their real
name. It's a policy.
Even though some of
them become friends,
they may have a
social, professional,
or even a family
life to protect.
Do you know this woman?
Only as Laura.
Do you know where we
can find her or the other two?
KEOLA: No. Because of
the nature of our sessions,
the center doesn't
require any registration
and we don't keep any records.
Okay. Thank you.
(doorbell ringing)
Who is it? DINA: It's Dina.
Gonna invite me in?
(sighs)
Can I get you a drink?
I'll get it.
You said you were gonna call.
I've been busy.
Join me.
No, thanks.
I stopped by your
office. They said you quit.
Uh... I've been
looking for another job.
In Honolulu? Yes.
You know, I was thinking,
we should send some
flowers to Margaret's funeral.
Anonymously, of course.
You felt so strongly about her.
It's really a pity you won't
be around when she's
laid to rest.
You really thought
you could leave
without me knowing?
I called the hospital
and they told me
your son's been transferred
to another hospital
on the Big Island.
All right, so I'm leaving.
What business is it of yours?
Half of Margaret's money.
Take it, all of it,
and get out of here.
All right, if that's
the way you want it.
Still not too late to
change your mind.
We never really needed
Margaret anyway.
And it would save me the
trouble of finding someone else
to work with.
Someone else?
You're not thinking of...?
Why, you're out of your mind.
Every policeman on the
island is looking for you.
And sooner or later,
you'll get caught.
And you think that
will be the end of it?
Oh, no.
If I get caught, you get caught.
(glass shattering)
( ominous theme playing)
(door shuts)
(ringing)
Yeah?
DANNO: We talked
to a Miss Keola.
She's the counselor
for the encounter group
at the women's center.
CHIN: Yeah. She
recognizes all three women
but she says none of the members
at the encounter session
use their real names.
Encourages them
to really unload.
There's no registration.
The center doesn't keep
any record of its women,
in order to protect
their anonymity.
So we hit another dead end, huh?
(door opens)
Got a list of all the owner
of 1964 Comet sedans.
There's over 200 of them.
McGARRETT: Two hundred?
Well, at least that's better
than the computer
came up with on her.
Okay, gentlemen,
we have a picture of
our driver with no name.
But if she has a
driver's license,
Motor Vehicles has a
picture of her with a name.
Frank, contact the Bureau.
Get a copy of
the driver's license
of every woman who
owns a '64 Comet.
We might get lucky. Chin,
warm up the computer.
CHIN: On it.
( mysterious theme playing)
(car approaching)
Mr. Hudson?
Yeah. And what's your name?
That's not important.
You were in on those bus
heists with my wife, weren't you?
We came here to
discuss $5000, remember?
I'm listening.
(unzipping bag)
I want you to do
something for me.
What?
I want you to...
To kill her. What?
You heard me.
What makes you think
I'd do something like that?
Because I know you, Mr. Hudson.
From Margaret.
I know every brutal, selfish,
greedy bone in your body.
So please, don't,
uh, try to fool me.
Half now.
If you, uh, want this
Dina Hale dead so bad,
why don't you do it yourself?
I would, if I could.
But I can't.
The rest, when it's done.
I don't know. I'd
have to think about it.
I'd like you to call me soon.
My number.
( ominous theme playing)
"Elaine Amako."
"Audrey Ames."
"Jean Anapoa."
(phone ringing)
Hello.
( ominous theme playing)
"Anita Malemo."
"Wilma Nelson."
Whoa. Wait, wait. Wait a minute.
Let me explain, will
you? Let me explain.
Empty your pockets. Yeah, yeah.
That's all. It's all I got.
Here.
You? Oh!
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
She paid me to kill you.
She? Yeah, Scott.
Her name's Scott.
And she gave me...
Gonna give me $5000,
half now and half when...
( suspenseful theme playing)
"Lucy Sands."
( mysterious theme playing)
"Fay Scott."
That's it.
Right. Great.
Got it, Chin. Good work.
You and Frank get there
on the double. I'll meet you.
Danno?
Danno, let's go.
( suspenseful theme playing)
( action theme playing)
( suspenseful theme playing)
(gunshot)
(moaning)
( dramatic theme playing)
Read them their rights,
Danno, then book them.
Murder one, two
counts for this one.
