Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 9, Episode 15 - Elegy in a Rain Forest - full transcript

Glenn Cannon's final episode as Attorney General John Manicote gives him a major role as his daughter disappears into a rain forest on the windward side of Oahu, just as a maniacal serial killer breaks the prison van and heads into the same area with a shotgun.

Let's move out.

LORD: This is Jack
Lord inviting you

to be with us next for
"Elegy in a Rain Forest."

There must be 800,000
cops looking for me by now.

Why aren't you out running instead
of standing here rapping with us?

Nature boy here is gonna show me
the shortest route across those mountains

and you're going with us.

For God's sake, that's
my daughter up there.

What if something
happens to her?

What if Lucien finds her?
Or, God forbid, already has?

If you leave me in shackles,
they'll find you buried up here.



If you shoot that gun,
the police will hear.

[GASPS]

There's lots of ways
of dying, pretty girl.

Lots of ways of dying.

[GIRL SCREAMING]

That was Karen. What the
hell you think you're doing?

John, if you lose your head
and go running up there blindly,

you could get her
killed and yourself.

McGarrett.

Hi.

LORD: Next, "Elegy."
Be here, aloha.

Must be a hundred thousand
cops looking for me by now.

Why aren't you out running instead
of standing here rapping with us?

Nature Boy here is gonna show me



the shortest route
across those mountains.

And you're going with us.

For God's sake, that's
my daughter up there.

What if something happens to
her? What if Lucien finds her?

McGarrett?

Hi.

I never hurt nobody.

[SCOFFS]

Hold it.

You get on the intercom.
Tell the driver to pull over.

Tell him I'm sick. I'm
tossing my cookies.

Frank.

- Yeah?
- The prisoner's sick.

- So?
- Better pull over, he's throwing up.

Okay.

- Okay, Pak?
- Yeah, okay.

CHIN HO: Hey, Steve!

Steve. Hey, Steve.

McGARRETT: Yeah,
Chin, what do you got?

CHIN HO: Marcus
Lucien just escaped.

McGARRETT: Escaped? How?

CHIN HO: Broke out of a
prison van, killed a guard.

McGARRETT: Has
H.P.D. been notified?

CHIN HO: Yeah, Steve.

- Search teams are standing by.
- Okay, let's move.

[CHATTERING]

All right, all right.

- Hey, all right.
- Flowers in the rain!

KAREN: Picking
flowers in the rain!

Okay. All right,
all right, all right.

Hey, everybody listen.
Everybody listen, okay.

Now, remember, we have
to be back here by 2 sharp.

Two sharp. We wanna
get back before dark.

So who wants to
get back before dark?

- I do.
- Ha, ha.

Remember, Dean Willis is
expecting big things from us.

He wants one unclassified
species of at least the sesbania

or the tomentosa
or the amaranths.

Uh, think he'd settle
for a poinsettia?

[ALL LAUGH]

If you'd settle for
a failing grade.

Karen, a failing grade?
That'll be the day.

Hey, I tell you, rain or no
rain, get the flowers, okay?

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Hey, Karen.

Hey, uh, why don't you
and I make a team of it.

[KAREN CHUCKLES]

- A team effort, know what
I mean? KAREN: Mm-hm.

Uh, you know, besides not
being able to pronounce them,

I don't even know what
those lousy flowers look like.

Ha, ha. That's because they
don't grow on football fields.

There are pictures
of them in there.

Good luck, Rich.

Picking flowers in the rain.

McGARRETT: Two years of
dogged work to find that butcher.

Another year of delays,
postponements and appeals.

We finally get a conviction and
we can't even deliver him to prison.

What about that
rumor we picked up on?

The accomplice who was
gonna help him off the island?

There is no way he's
gonna get off this island now.

No way. If there is an accomplice,
I'm gonna know about it.

All right, you've
all been briefed.

Remember, I want each team to
stay on its respective coordinate.

Now, this is our
present position,

approximately three miles
from where Lucien escaped.

Any idea where he
headed, Mr. McGarrett?

Well, a witness saw him
heading for the mountains.

So I would assume
he'd try to get over them.

Probably come out over
here at, uh, Waipi'o or Haleiwa.

Other teams will be
closing in from that side.

Now, any questions?

All right, gentlemen,
let's move out.

CHIN HO: There he
is, Duke. DUKE: Right.

CHIN HO: Looks like
Sancho dropped his jug.

[KNOCKS]

Lighten up, will you?

You guys are leaning
on a minority person.

Get up, Sancho.

- We wanna talk.
- About what? About what?

Well, give us straight answers
and we'll forget we saw you.

I got this feeling I ain't gonna
like the questions, the questions.

You heard about your old
pal Lucien escaping today?

I told you I wasn't gonna
like them, like them.

You and Lucien
were pretty tight.

Used to be right.

Till he went squirrelly.

You know what I mean, I mean?

Word's out that somebody's
gonna help get him off the island.

Could be. Maybe, I
don't know, I don't know.

Well, take a minute and think.

With your record, if it turns out
you're withholding information,

you're back in the
slammer a long time.

In the slammer.

Maybe I heard
something, something.

Only you gotta forget
where you got it.

We already have.

Guy's name is Homer Wamano.

Lives on Kapulu.

That's all I got, got. I swear.

[SHRIEKS]

[WOMAN SINGING OVER RADIO]

Hey.

You're under arrest.

[LAUGHING]

Let's have a party.

[LIGHT JAZZ MUSIC
PLAYING OVER RADIO]

Wonder if they don't find her.

I said, wonder if they
don't find her, Jerry.

Just quiet, okay? Just quiet.

JERRY: Is there any sign of her?

Nothing.

What are we gonna do?

Better get down to the
Coast Guard relay station,

report her missing.

MAN [OVER RADIO]:
We interrupt this program

to bring you a
special news bulletin.

At 7:35 this morning,
Marcus Lucien,

recently convicted of
multiple rape-murders,

made a dramatic escape while
being transferred to state prison.

An extensive manhunt under the
direction of Five-0's Steve McGarrett

is underway in the mountains
due east of Kaneohe Bay.

That's just over the ridge.

All campers and hikers
are being evacuated

out of this general
area by park rangers.

Lucien has been described as
armed and extremely dangerous.

More on this dramatic
manhunt as the news comes in.

- Karen.
- Now back to our music.

Let's go.

[JOHNNY CASH'S "BIG
IRON" PLAYING OVER RADIO]

Steve.

The butcher was here.

McGarrett to Central.

[MOANING]

Oh.

Oh.

KAREN: Who... Who are you?

[GROANS THEN CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES]

How did I get here?

Did you bring me here?

What's your name?

David.

Can't you talk, David?

My name is Karen.

Oh.

Does this mean
something special to you?

Did somebody give that to
you when you were a little boy?

Your mother?

No?

Your mother died
when you were a baby?

Oh.

Well, did your
father give it to you?

Oh.

[KAREN CHUCKLES]

Your father was a fireman.

He died fighting a fire.

I'm sorry.

That's strange.

I didn't order a chopper.

But we did go back and
look for her, Mr. Manicote.

We must have covered
half the mountain.

And you didn't see
any sign of her?

No, sir.

John, what are
you doing up here?

Got a call from the police department
saying that my daughter disappeared

while she was out
here on a class field trip.

Steve, it's been several hours.

And with that maniac
running around loose,

I had the helicopter
bring me up here.

I'm sorry to hear that, John.
We'll be on the alert for her

and I'll inform the other
teams to do likewise.

That's not good enough,
Steve. I'm going with you.

John, I'm not authorized to take
civilians on a mission of this type.

Now, in your position,
you should know that.

Steve, for God's sake,
that's my daughter up there.

What if something happens to
her? What if Lucien finds her?

- Or, God forbid, already has.
- I don't have time to argue, John.

Steve.

Please. Please.

She's my only child.

All right, let's go.

So the people you
were sent to live with

never could understand
why you couldn't talk, huh?

And they teased you.

So you ran away.

You came up here to be free.

You know, David,
in a way, I envy you.

There are times when I feel
like I'd just like to live alone

with just my thoughts.

[CHUCKLES]

Nobody around to hassle me.

Mm.

How long have I
been here anyway?

The kids are really
gonna worry about me.

I gotta get back.

I'm all twisted around. Uh...

Hey, think you could, uh,
show me the way to the road

leading down to
the relay station?

If you can get me that far,

I can make it the rest
of the way by myself.

Okay?

All right.

Okay.

CHIN HO: According
to DMV, that's his car.

Homer Wamano?

[HONKING]

Central, this is Officer Kelly.

Request H.P.D.
tries to locate vehicle,

license number Chicago-4027.

Last seen at Plum and Vineyard.

Which way?

What way?

How do you know?

I know, I know, I know.

So when his parents decided
to move back to the mainland,

Tommy and I were faced
with a tough decision.

Neither of us could stand
the thought of being separated.

Whoops.

Oh, we thought
about getting married,

but both our parents
were against it.

Ha, ha. I don't know.

I think it had something
to do with our ages.

Tommy was only 11 and I was 10.

So he did the only decent thing.

He left without saying goodbye.

But he did leave this little box

of Juicy Fruits on my doorstep.

And this little note that
said, "From me to you."

God, it took me nearly a
week to get over Tommy.

Of course I had my
Barbie dolls to comfort me

and somehow I pulled through.

Whoops. Ha, ha.

Well, you wanted to know about
the big love of my life, didn't you?

That was it.

That was it, really.

Hey, uh, can we, uh, take a
little break here, fearless leader?

[KAREN SIGHS]

I'm still a little dizzy. Oh.

Uh, we'll call this
an injury time-out.

Mm.

I've been thinking about you.

And...

Well, I mean, I know
how you must feel.

Like you've been betrayed,

and no one has
really understood you.

But do you wanna spend
the rest of your life up here?

I mean, without any...
Without any friends or anything?

What I'm trying to say is...

David, is that my father
is attorney general,

and, well, we could talk to him.

And I'm sure something
can be arranged.

Something could be arranged
till you find a place to live.

Some people... But...

No, some people
that will care for you.

I guess that means
the time-out's over.

[SIGHS]

Okay.

You two.

Stay right there.

What are you doing here?

I came with some students
from school on a field trip.

Where are they now?

I don't know. I...

I got separated from them.
I guess they went back.

You're a pretty lady.

What about you?

- I'm talking to you.
- He can't answer you.

He's a mute.

He ran away from home a year
ago and came up here to live.

What's this?

- What's this?
- Don't touch that.

That's very special to him.

- Special?
- Yeah.

I need something special.

You live in these mountains.

I bet you know them
pretty good, don't you?

That's fine.

I don't know my way too good.

Must be a hundred thousand
cops looking for me by now.

Why aren't you out running instead
of standing here rapping with us?

Nature Boy here is gonna show me the
shortest route across those mountains.

And you're going with us.

The police wouldn't
shoot a pretty like you.

Well, what if we don't want to?

Hold out your hand.

Hold out your hand!

Put them on.

Put them on him.

Come here, David.

Let's go.

Let's go!

What are you stopping
for? Let's go. Let's go.

Hold it.

LUCIEN: Keep moving.

[KAREN PANTING]

LUCIEN: Faster. Keep moving.

Come on.

- Come on.
- No, wait, wait, wait.

Wait.

Which way?

I said which way?

If you're leading me in circles,
they'll find you buried up here.

If you shoot that gun,
the police will hear it.

[GROANS]

There's lots of ways
of dying, pretty girl.

Lots of ways of dying.

[GROANS]

Looks like H.P.D.
got the right car.

DUKE: We're looking
for Homer Wamano.

CHIN HO: Hold it!

Stick your hand out.

[YELLS]

[WAMANO GRUNTS]

[WAMANO YELLS]

MAN [OVER RADIO]:
Search Control to McGarrett.

Search Control
to McGarrett. Over.

Yeah, this is McGarrett.

I just got a radio message
for you from Officer Kelly.

- Yes, go ahead, please.
- Message:

Steve, have in custody Lucien's
accomplice, Homer Wamano.

Meet set for Waipi'o
then to boat at Makaha.

Advise, Chin. End message.

Notify Officer Kelly to hold suspect
in custody until further notice.

Thank you.

Waipi'o, eh? Looks
like we guessed right.

LUCIEN: Hey, you come back here.

Hey, slow down.

Hey, you come back here.

Slow down.

[KAREN SHRIEKS]

[KAREN GROANING]

[SCREAMING]

That was Karen. I know it.
What do you think you're doing?

Hold it, John. Hold it.

If that was Karen, at least
we know she's still alive.

God knows what that
maniac might be doing to her.

John, if you lose your head
and go running up there blindly,

you could get her
killed and yourself.

Now, listen to me.

You go with Danno and
we'll hit him from both sides.

Okay, let's go.

Over here.

LUCIEN: Running back
there was your idea, wasn't it?

You try it again, I'll blow
you to a million pieces.

Hold it. Hold it.

[KAREN PANTING]

I won't be needing
a guide anymore.

I'm home free.

Unlock yours.

Just yours.

Get over there.

Hook yourself to that big limb.

Hook yourself.

Go all the way back there.

Come on.

You can't leave
him here like this.

You wouldn't want
him looking on, honey,

when we get to know
each other, would you?

Hmm?

Thank you.

[LAUGHS]

[GRUNTING]

McGarrett.

Hi.

[LAUGHS]

You wanna see what a
shotgun can do up close?

Just twitch.

Where are they?
Where the hell are they?

[GRUNTING]

LUCIEN: I ain't forgot who
it was that put me up here.

I ain't forgot who tracked
me like some wild animal.

That was you.

Have you forgotten the six
girls that you killed, Lucien?

I didn't kill nobody.

You and the rest that pranced
through that courtroom, y'all lied.

Tell me you lied.
Tell me you lied.

Nobody lied. There
were eyewitnesses.

- Nobody lied.
- They was wrong.

It must've been somebody
that looks like me.

It had to be somebody
that looks like me.

- That's not true. You know that...
- Shut up, just shut up!

I don't wanna talk about it
anymore. I won't talk about it anymore.

[WHIMPERING]

McGARRETT: I'll
make a deal with you.

A trade. Me for the girl.

There ain't no way.

McGARRETT: Think
about it. Think about it.

All I have to do
is push this button.

I could pull every police
team off this mountain.

You can be on your way to
wherever it is you wanna go.

- I can make you do that anyhow.
- No.

No, you can't, because
I'm not gonna call anybody.

Not until the girl is
released and safe.

[LUCIEN SOBS]

What if after she's gone,
you change your mind

and won't take the
cops off the mountain?

You still have that gun.

I'll take my
chances with the girl.

[LUCIEN CONTINUES SOBBING]

Hah.

Turn around. Turn around.

Turn around!

[LUCIEN CHUCKLING]

Go get your gun.

You wanna get it here?
You wanna get it there?

Go get your gun.

I asked you a question. Answer
me. Answer me. Go get your gun.

Go get your gun. Go
get your gun. Answer me.

Go get it. Come
on, I want an answer.

[GROANING]

McGARRETT: Get down, get down.

It's only a matter of
time before he spots us.

Now, I'm gonna
try to draw his fire.

When I do, run down
the hill as fast as you can.

Danny?

John, you stay here.
There's nothing you can do.

Let us handle it, please.

All right.

John, get back!

Daddy!

McGARRETT: Karen!
Karen, get back!

Get back!

LUCIEN: All right, freeze.

Hold it right there
or you go now.

Let her go, Lucien.

Let her go.

McGarrett.

Come out or I'll kill
her right now, I swear it.

Let the girl go

and I'll come out.

Let her go.

All right, pretty.

Get Daddy out of there.
Get him out of there.

Karen, quickly.

Move it. Move it.

[GRUNTING AND GROANING]

All right, McGarrett.

It's my turn now.

Judgment day is here.

Come up here. Come up here.

Come on.

[LAUGHING]

Come on.

A little closer.

That's it.

That's it.

Honey, he didn't...

He didn't hurt you
in any way, did he?

No, Daddy.

Your leg, is it bad?

I'll be all right.

[SIREN WAILING NEARBY]

The important thing
is that you're safe.

How is it, John?

It'll be all right.

Steve, I lost my head up there.

I'm sorry.

Next time, leave
it to the pros, huh?

Okay, fellows.

Have you ever seen this before?

KAREN: Yes, it's David's.

David?

He lives up there.

Is there anything you
wanna tell me about him?

Yes.

Okay. Come on.
