Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 9, Episode 2 - Assault on the Palace - full transcript
The operator of a Honolulu museum devises a scheme: use the premier Hawaiian parade as the cover for the biggest bank robbery in Hawaiian history. First he kills a history expert who would know he was fudging the details of the recreation of the 1889 Wilcox rebellion. He also recruits criminals who can execute his plan. Once the caper occurs, can McGarrett & Co. rebound to bring the criminals to justice?
LORD: This is Jack Lord
inviting you to be with us next
for "Assault on the Palace."
Ladies and gentlemen,
you are about to witness a recreation
of the infamous Wilcox rebellion
just as it happened in 1889.
Suppose I wanna tell
you about a different kind
of bank job, Horton.
The rebels will invade key
buildings surrounding the palace
and declare a state siege.
I need two sets of
costumes, made-to-order.
One set nobody knows about.
Are the rebels ready?
Minimum.
Ten-million-dollar take.
Charge!
Outnumbered and faced
with superior firepower,
the rebels soon
panicked and surrendered.
Just a bank heist?
But the biggest
in Hawaii's history.
And right under our noses.
LORD: Next, "Assault."
Be here. Aloha.
Ladies and gentlemen,
you are about to witness a recreation
of the infamous Wilcox rebellion
just as it happened in 1889.
Not just a bank heist, but
the biggest in Hawaii's history.
And right under our noses.
Arthur, where are you taking me?
I haven't time for nonsense.
I guarantee, Henry, it will be a
most unique experience for you.
You, of course, know the legend
of King Kamehameha's grave, right?
KOLANI: That's for my
freshmen students, Arthur.
LAMBERT: The morning star alone
knows where Kamehameha's bones
are guarded, isn't that how it goes?
KOLANI: That's close
enough. What of it?
LAMBERT: Suppose
I were to tell you
that I have discovered
that grave, Henry?
KOLANI: Then I would say that
either you're the victim of a hoax
or totally ignorant of
ancient Hawaiian lore.
LAMBERT: Is that
what you would say?
Well, then take a
look right down there.
Arthur, give me a hand.
Certainly, just a minute.
Arthur, what are you
doing? Are you crazy?
No, Henry, just brushing up
on the ancient lore of Hawaii.
Very fine, for last year.
But we need something special
for this day's Kamehameha
Day celebration.
LEWIS: The chamber of
commerce agrees with you.
Something, uh, new
is called for this year.
Perhaps something that
touches on Hawaiian history.
- Oh, excuse me. Sorry I'm
late, Edna. EDNA: It's all right.
Gentlemen, uh, Mr. Chairman,
could I have the floor
for just one minute?
I've been working on something.
Uh, I'd like to
propose a reenactment
of an historical event
right on the palace grounds.
A little bit of history
coming to life, as it were,
within view of literally
hundreds of thousands of people.
Now, it just so happens, I
have the details right in here.
The Wilcox raid? Uh, wasn't
that an armed rebellion?
Yes, luckily one
that failed, Steve.
Wilcox tried to overthrow
the constitutional government
and set up an absolute rule.
With Princess Liliuokalani
as the figure head.
Actually, they did pretty good.
They held the palace, several
buildings for a whole day
and were finally routed
by the loyal Hawaiian army.
I assume it's all been
checked for accuracy?
Oh, yes. Yes, it certainly has.
I had it read by
Professor Henry Kolani.
Who, incidentally,
approved it enthusiastically.
By the way, where is Henry?
This is the first meeting he's missed.
No idea. Have you
seen him, Steve?
Not since we played
chess about a week ago.
Well, I wouldn't
be too concerned.
He told me they have a heavy
enrollment at the university.
You know Henry. Ha, ha.
This looks very good to me.
- I'm only worried about one thing.
- What's that, Steve?
Well, something like this
is bound to attract even larger
crowds than in previous years.
And crowds tend to bring every
crook and con man out of the woodwork.
That's quite true, governor.
And the business community
is very concerned about that.
Well, I'm sure you
can handle it, Steve.
We've already started.
If you'll stop by
H.P.D. later, Harry,
Danny Williams will show you
what we're doing about the problem.
- Fine.
- Well, what's the verdict?
All those in favor of letting
Wilcox raid the palace, say, "Aye."
ALL: Aye.
JAMESON: Unanimous.
- That's terrific.
Thank you, governor.
Appreciate it, Edna.
- Good work.
- Thank you, Harry. Steve.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Hey, driver, you sure we're
headed toward Waikiki?
Honey, it just don't
look right to me.
Hey, look, you don't
like the way I'm driving,
you can get out right here.
Now, that's the best
idea you've had. Come on.
Hey, one more
thing before you go.
Leave all your money
on the seat. Now.
- Clint.
- Easy, honey, easy.
I think this fella
means what he says.
So... So we'll just give
him what he wants.
You want big bills or singles?
WOMAN: H.P.D., honey.
Taxi Joe.
Still using the
phony cab bit, huh?
How many years in
the cage do you need
to learn it's getting
a little shopworn?
Okay, listen, everyone.
Your lawyers will be here soon.
Most of you will be out
on bail by this evening.
But I want you to take
this as a solemn warning.
We're getting ready for our
annual Kamehameha Day parade.
And Five-0's guaranteed the governor
there will be no heists, no scams
and no rip-offs of any kind.
Anyone who violates that
pledge will be in trouble.
Big trouble.
Understood?
Okay, lock them up.
GUARD: Single file, move it.
I don't know if my
talk will do any good.
Well, at least you've
given them a scare.
Danny, just off the press.
"Missing persons bulletin..."
- Professor Henry Kolani?
- Yeah.
- Better get this to Steve right away.
- Okay.
[RINGS]
- McGarrett.
- Steve.
I just got an MPB
on Henry Kolani.
Kolani is missing?
- Have you checked his apartment?
- Yeah, we did.
Everything was in order,
according to his landlady.
No signs of a struggle.
What about hospitals
and the morgue?
No, not a sign, Steve.
And there's no record of
any airline or steamship ticket
purchased in his name.
All right, I want an all-points
bulletin put out on him immediately
to every police officer from
Diamond Head to Kahuku Point.
- Full description.
- Okay, got it.
[PHONE RINGS]
- Hello, Mr. Horton.
- Now, who is this?
Pier 40, 35 minutes.
Right on time,
Mr. Horton. I like that.
Hey, who are you,
mister? What's your angle?
I thought my message
might give you a hint.
That message
meant nothing to me.
But you're here, aren't you?
Three banks, Mr. Horton.
Three banks that were robbed.
Three cases
unsolved by the police.
But I studied the
methods used in each one.
Remarkable how
consistent you are.
Let me straighten you out.
Last guy tried to shake me
down had a bad accident.
- Oh, relax.
- They never found all the pieces.
I'm not a shakedown artist, Horton.
Matter of fact, I'm a fan of yours.
You're the best bank
mechanic in the business.
Or were, till the Ala
Moana Trust. Ha, ha.
Allowing four
minutes for a getaway?
You could've cut that in
half. We'll do better next time.
We'll do better?
We're going into
business, Mr. Horton.
At an enormous
profit to both of us.
How do I know
you're not the fuzz?
A policeman asking
you to commit a crime?
Come on, Horton, you've been
around. You know that's entrapment.
It would virtually
guarantee your acquittal.
My acquittal for what?
Suppose, Horton, I were
to tell you about a plan
for a different
kind of bank job.
No problems about getaway time.
No worries about
alarm systems or guards.
The bank president would
actually be helping you.
If I were to tell you about that
kind of plan, what would you say?
I'd say you were nuts.
But I'd sure like
to hear about it.
I heard you worked miracles
with a sewing machine
at the women's reformatory.
Yeah, I'm a regular Betsy Ross.
What's the pitch?
I need two s...
I need two sets of
costumes made to order.
One set nobody knows about.
Couple dozen altogether.
- A lot of work.
- Hundred bucks apiece.
And 100 more if
nobody knows about it.
When did Betsy Ross ever say no?
Get out and don't come back.
6Go get him, Kimo.
Hey, brother Horton.
When did you get out, man?
They just sprung
me. How you doing?
Would it do me any
good to complain?
Kimo, old buddy, your luck's
about to change. Come here.
LAMBERT: All right,
now for the good part.
I, uh, tell you, gentlemen, I
think this is the first time in history
that a rebel leader's tried to
recruit the chamber of commerce.
[ALL LAUGH]
But, uh, I am gonna
need a few volunteers.
Now, what do you
say? Just a few.
I know there's some
frustrated actors out here.
Now, come on. Help
me out here. Sam?
Okay, good. Jeff?
What do you say? Okay, good.
And, uh, Harvey Adams,
can you help me out?
Thank you.
Jimmy Han, what do you say?
Okay, Jimmy. I'll need one more.
Well, the Army taught me never
to volunteer, but for you, Arthur...
Okay, let's hear it for Harry.
Yeah, yeah.
- Joey, what are you doing?
- Hey, Mr. Horton.
- How are you doing?
- All right.
It's good to see you.
Kimo tells me you
got busted again.
Yeah, I'm out on bail now.
I'd blow this island
if I had the bread.
Suppose I could supply
that for you? A big chunk.
- What's the deal?
- I need a wheelman, a good one.
Listen, listen, come
here, come here.
I'm talking about
minimum $10-million take.
[WHISTLES]
Split six ways. Double
for the idea man.
- Who's he?
- Ha. Only a genius.
Tell me more.
HORTON: Okay, everything's set.
LAMBERT: You're
beautiful, Horton.
I got key people for every job.
LAMBERT: But everything
has to come off like clockwork.
This has gotta be one of the biggest
bank jobs in history, you know that?
HORTON: Hey, that's
great with me, man.
I've been waiting
for a long time.
Remember, Horton, once everything's
in motion, nothing must stop us.
Absolutely nothing.
You know that?
You can count on it.
Good.
This is a good place
to rest. I'm beat.
[SCREAMS]
Chin, who found the body?
CHIN HO: A young couple hiking
saw a hand sticking out of the ground.
God, what a loss.
Brilliant mind.
Danno, get the word out to
Five-0 and all police districts:
No leaves, no days off.
No rest until the killer of
Professor Kolani is found.
- Right.
- Sergeant.
Get the body to the morgue,
I want a full work-up
as soon as possible.
McGarrett, Five-0.
Tell me exactly what
happened, please.
Well, we were out hiking.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
DOC: I was on my way to your office.
- What do you got?
DOC: The autopsy
report on Professor Kolani
indicates swelling and local
hemorrhages on the scalp.
He sustained blows
by a heavy object,
but there was no contusion or
hemorrhage in the brain itself.
So we can discount that
as the cause of death.
We did find aspiration of dirt
occluding the tracheal tube.
- Meaning what, Doc?
- He died of suffocation.
- You mean he was buried alive?
- Right.
He was hit on the head, buried
and then reached out before he died.
My God, how horrible.
No vehicle found in the area.
Which means he probably
drove up with his killer.
Could be somebody he knew.
Yeah, somebody who had the grave
already dug and waiting, but why?
Probably wasn't robbery.
His wallet and money
were still on him.
Okay, Doc, thank you.
You say Professor Kolani's
apartment was checked carefully?
By the Missing Persons Bureau,
- and I looked in again myself.
- And...?
Well, no sign of a
struggle or forced entry,
but I did find one thing I
thought you might find interesting.
What is this?
Kolani's copy of the
scenario for the Wilcox raid.
- Look at the cover.
- A question mark.
Yeah, I found it on the
desk, near the phone.
That might indicate he was
talking to someone about it.
Did you check with
the phone company?
Three calls the day
before he disappeared.
His secretary keeps a log.
I've checked out the numbers.
- What are they?
- Uh, first is to the library.
For some reference material.
Second, to the mainland,
to talk to his publishers.
And the third to the museum.
- What museum?
- Museum of the Pacific.
That's interesting. Arthur
Lambert is curator there.
Thank you, Danno.
LAMBERT: Hey, Steve.
Pleasant surprise
to see you out here.
McGARRETT: Sorry to bother you.
- Oh, no, no bother.
McGARRETT: We're investigating
Professor Kolani's death.
LAMBERT: Yeah, it's a tragic
thing. I still can't believe it.
We just learned that
the day before he died
he made a telephone
call here to your museum.
Well, that wouldn't
be unusual, Steve.
You know, Professor Kolani
was an expert on Hawaiian history.
But that call wasn't
to me, by the way.
Do you know if he
spoke to anyone else?
No, I don't, but I'll
certainly ask around.
No, no, that not necessary.
We'll take care of that.
If you'll just give me a
list of museum employees.
Absolutely.
Uh, Nathaniel.
Would you get a staff list
for Mr. McGarrett, please.
Yes, sir.
One more thing.
You mentioned that Professor Kolani
read and approved your scenario.
LAMBERT: Yeah.
- When was that?
- Well, let me see.
At least a month ago, long before
our last committee meeting, Steve.
Then you had no
recent conversations.
No, no, none at all.
Thank you, Nathaniel.
Thank you. We'll
be in touch, Arthur.
Well, anytime,
Steve. You know that.
Okay.
LAMBERT: Hey,
Harry, how's it going?
Uh, could I have
your attention, please?
These are your schedules
for the big day, gentlemen.
They tell which limousine
you've been assigned to,
uh, what time it's gonna pick you
up. So take one before you leave.
And remember, now, I
want you ready in costume,
in front of your house,
before the limo gets there.
I mean, we can't have a
revolution, without troops.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Okay.
[WHIRRING]
Steve, here.
We got the intelligence
report on all known con men,
thieves and
pickpockets in Honolulu.
We can't watch them
all. We brought them all in,
given them the impression
they're under a microscope.
Good idea, Danno.
Security reports on all
government buildings
and commercial
buildings in the area.
But nobody gets in today
unless authorized by us
or the parade committee.
Looks tight, let's keep it
that way. Thank you, Chin.
H.P.D. marksmen on rooftops
along the route of the parade.
We've got every VIP in
Hawaii to protect today.
Well, there's one we
didn't protect, Duke.
Professor Kolani.
- Who's that for?
- The governor sent this for you, sir.
Oh.
Thank you.
[CHIN HO CHUCKLING]
What's so funny?
Never saw a lei before?
All right, let's go, fellas.
HORTON: How you
doing? MAN: Pretty good.
Ma'am.
Okay, let's go.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
HORTON: How you doing?
- Good, how are you?
HORTON: Come on in. MAN: Okay.
HORTON: Ready?
Okay, Joe.
Well, we couldn't
ask for a nicer day.
The weather's fine, anyway.
No leads on the Henry
Kolani killing, huh?
No, sir, not yet.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
Hi there.
HORTON: How you doing?
- Good, good. Glad to see you.
You all right? Here you go.
Thank you.
You. I know you.
Police station, the lineup.
I saw you there.
- What are you doing driving this car?
- You've got me wrong, sir.
- Oh, no, oh, no, I'm not
wrong. HORTON: Lewis.
- No, I don't trust you.
HORTON: Get in the car.
- All right, get in the car.
- I'm gonna check this.
Get in the car.
Kimo, cover.
Okay, go, go.
[TIRES SCREECH]
[DOG BARKING]
- Steve, Harry Lewis was shot.
- He was shot?
He was found in his car on
Kilauea Avenue, critically wounded.
What was he doing on Kilauea?
- He was to be in the parade.
- I don't know.
They took him to Leahi
Hospital, he keeps asking for you.
Excuse me, sir.
Kibbo, take over.
- Having troubles?
- It appears that way.
HORTON: All right, everybody
out. Come on, move it.
Move it, move it.
Kimo, get them out of
there, man. Come on.
Out, out, move, move, move.
Look, any of them get
itchy feet, you blast them.
All right, guys, come on, come
on, fast as you can, come on.
All right, come on,
come on, get going.
Dr. Monsoo.
- How's Harry doing?
- I'm sorry, Steve.
We tried everything. He's gone.
[SIGHS]
Okay, doc. Thank you.
[TIRE SCREECHES]
Steve, I just had a
careful look at Lewis' car.
McGARRETT: Yeah?
- No bullet holes.
But dried blood on the
outside door handle.
That would probably mean he
was shot before he got into the car.
He was one of
the Wilcox raiders.
Weren't they to be picked up
by limousines from their home?
Yeah, 20 men, four cars.
Let's see if that's
what happened.
- Okay, you know what to do?
- Yeah.
All right, guys,
come on, let's go.
Well, I think the main
event is just about here.
- Guess I better go.
- Good luck.
Governor.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Kamehameha Day committee
proudly presents living history.
You are about to witness a recreation
of the infamous Wilcox rebellion
just as it happened in 1889.
In a moment, the rebels will invade
key buildings surrounding the palace
and declare a state of siege.
Are the rebels ready?
Ready.
[CROWD CHEERS]
Storm the buildings.
That's right.
All right, men, charge.
All right, rebels.
We surrender. Take over, huh?
Thank you, sir. We already have.
Let's open the vault.
- Hey, they said there'd be a rebellion.
- The vault.
- But it's on a time lock.
- I'll take care of it.
The palace and government
buildings are now in a state of siege.
But not for long.
The commander of the king's
guards has secured a cannon.
Carter-Wesson 1912.
LAMBERT: USS Adams,
which was anchored offshore.
You're making a mistake.
You'll never get away with...
Get him out of here!
The king's guards will
exchange artillery fire
with the Wilcox raiders
as a symbolic reenactment
of the Wilcox rebellion.
Are the king's guards ready?
Ready.
Commence firing.
That's number one.
- Are you ready?
- Okay, that should do it.
Okay, ready.
Let's go.
Outnumbered
and faced with
superior firepower,
the rebels soon
panicked and surrendered.
LAMBERT: Thus ending
the legendary Wilcox
rebellion of 1889.
Thank you. Thank you
very much. Thank you.
Danno, check inside
the house, will you?
Looks like bloodstains.
Apparently, he made it to his
car, then drove until he collapsed.
Chin, get over to...
Chin, get over to King Street.
Find out what happened
to the other businessmen.
Right.
Steve, no one's home. Harry's
family's probably at the parade.
Wait here a minute,
Danno. I've got a hunch.
- Excuse me, ma'am. WOMAN: Yes?
- Five-0, state
police. WOMAN: Yes.
- Have you been here all
morning? WOMAN: Yes, I have.
We're investigating a shooting
that took place across the street.
- Did you see anything?
- No.
- Did you hear anything?
- No, I didn't.
Well, a shot was fired. You
must have heard something.
I heard a noise. It was...
It sounded like the
backfire of a truck.
Or at least that's what
it sounded like to me.
I was dressing at the time.
Okay. Thank you.
- Going to the parade?
- Yes.
- I hear it's the best one yet.
- So they say.
- What kind of truck was it?
- It wasn't a truck, it...
An innocent man just
died in the hospital.
I try to understand why
people don't wanna get involved,
but we're talking about
a possible murder here.
We need your help.
All right, it was a
black car. I saw it all.
Did you happen to notice
the license plate number?
No, I was too upset.
What kind of a car was it?
Oh, I think it was a
Cadillac, it was a big car.
- How many men were there?
- I don't know.
- Any women?
- I believe they were all men.
Okay. I'd like you
to come downtown.
- All right.
- Thank you.
CHIN HO: Steve, I checked
with the parade committee.
- The raid came off like clockwork.
- Good.
That's one of them.
He was the driver.
Taxi Joe Malua.
- You know where to find him?
- I sure do.
Chin, get a warrant. Let's go.
DANNY: Steve, look
at this map. It's marked.
Yeah, someone laid out a route.
And all these markings are in
the Waialae and Kaimuki districts.
That's mostly residential.
- That's where Harry Lewis lived.
- That's right.
And that neighbor lady said
that the limo went west on Pahoa.
So assuming that this is the
route, after shooting Harry Lewis,
the killer or killers must have
driven up here to Kuliouou Ridge.
What's up there?
I don't know. Let's go and see.
[HORN HONKING]
McGARRETT: Wait a minute, Danno.
That tower could be
what we're looking for.
DANNY: Yeah.
Central, this is McGarrett.
We're at Kuliouou Ridge.
We're about to check
out the old tower up here.
Request H.P.D.
backup immediately.
Chin.
Cover Danno from
this little shack here.
Danno, you go down to the fence.
Work your way up. I'll go up
over the top of this ridge here.
We'll have the pincer movement.
Be careful.
[ROCK THUDS]
[CAN CLANKS]
Freeze.
Chin, take him.
It's okay, fellas,
Five-0, come on out.
McGARRETT: What happened?
- They shot Harry Lewis
and then they took us here.
Had their own people
wearing our costumes.
What were you
men supposed to do?
MAN: We were to take
over the Unified Bank.
- On King Street? MAN: Yeah.
Danno, let's go.
McGarrett to Central.
McGarrett to Central, code red.
Full mobilization directed to
the Unified Bank on King Street.
Robbery in progress.
Repeat, code red.
[POLICE SIREN WAILING]
Clean.
Not just a bank heist, but
the biggest in Hawaii's history.
And right under our noses.
CHIN HO: We did everything possible.
- Yeah, but not enough.
Which means we go into overtime
until this thing is wrapped up.
- What have we got?
- Booked the guard from the tower.
Got a long record here
and on the mainland.
- So far he won't talk.
- What else?
We got an APB out
for Taxi Joe Malua.
What about the bank
robbers themselves?
Somebody must
have seen something.
A lot of people, Steve.
But they all wore
mustaches and whiskers.
They all looked alike.
And we're gonna settle for
that, is that it? What else?
We found the limousine abandoned
near a parade assembly point.
- Ownership?
- Rented from an agency.
- In whose name?
- You won't believe this.
- Robert Wilcox.
- Wilcox?
Robert Wilcox.
Robert Wilcox.
It seems to me
that whoever planned this caper
knew an awful lot about the Wilcox raid.
Gentlemen, I want every
book you can find on the subject
and I want them now. We've
got some homework to do.
Memo to Five-0 staff.
It's now shortly after 2 a.m.
I typed a report on what I've
learned about the Wilcox raid.
You'll each find a copy of it
on your desk in the morning.
Study it carefully, I want to
discuss the contents with you.
Uh, there will be a staff
meeting in my office at 9 a.m.
Thank you. Good night.
- Good morning, gentlemen.
DANNY: Morning, Steve.
Well, have you all had a
chance to go over the report?
CHIN HO: Yeah. DUKE: Yup.
Who's the mastermind? Danno?
Lambert. Gotta be.
- Chin?
- No question.
- Duke?
- I agree, but how do we prove it?
How was Wilcox routed
by the king's guards?
Direct frontal assault.
Yeah, and that's the
way we're gonna prove it.
Ah, this lashing's getting old.
- Tell Joe I...
- Arthur.
Hello, Steve.
- I need your help.
- Well, certainly, anything I can do.
Nathaniel, why don't
you take a break now.
- Thank you, sir.
- Yeah.
- You heard about the robbery.
- Yes, it's a shocking, shocking thing.
Whoever pulled it off certainly
took advantage of your thinking,
your planning.
- How do you mean that, Steve?
- Well, they had to know every detail.
Which businessmen
were assigned to the bank.
When and where they
would be picked up.
Even the costumes had
to be duplicated exactly.
Yes, it must have taken
some kind of planning.
Yeah.
How many people had
early access to your scenario
while there was still
time to make plans?
Well, just the committee,
as far as I know.
I mean, there was the governor,
and you, Edna Kalakaua.
And my dear friend Henry
Kolani, and of course there's myself.
- I suppose I'm a suspect too.
- We all are, technically.
But...
- Arthur, I have another theory.
- What's that?
The people you mentioned
were entitled to access.
But isn't it possible,
just possible,
that someone else
saw your manuscript
without your knowledge?
Someone who works
here, for instance.
An employee, a typist,
or someone who runs
the duplicating machine.
Yes, it's possible,
Steve, but I don't know.
- Logical, isn't it?
- Yeah.
Someone here got a glimpse
of your Wilcox raid scenario
and it gave him an inspiration.
What an ingenious way to
get robbers inside a bank,
and all under the
guise of the reenactment
of an historical event.
A lifetime of riches for
just a few minutes of risk.
I can see how that might appeal
to someone of limited means.
Someone of limited future.
Surrounded with all this art
and these expensive treasures.
Someone who appreciates
them, but could never own them.
But...
[SIGHS]
The plan...
The plan was shot down
before it got off the ground.
Because of an error.
- An error on your part, Arthur.
- Mine?
A simple research mistake.
It seems that the Wilcox
raiders never got near the bank.
The coronation stand, yes.
The tax office, yes.
The Royal Hall of Records, yes.
But the bank, no.
Well, I tell you,
Steve, I, uh...
I could have sworn that I, uh,
read that somewhere, you know?
Professor Kolani
picked up on the error
and that's why he put a
question mark on the scenario.
Then he made a
call to someone here.
That's why, I
think, he was killed.
I just can't believe that someone
here would do such a thing.
Well, I can, Arthur.
And if I were that man,
I'd want that money in a safe place
where I could watch it most of the day.
If we find it, we've
got the murderer.
Could be anyplace here buried.
In that old war canoe,
inside any of these idols.
Even in that old throne.
All units stand by.
Suspect leaving in
haste with evidence.
All units, stand by.
Come in, please.
DANNY: Halt.
Good work, gentlemen.
Okay, let's start
with the names.
Thomas Horton.
LAMBERT: Kimo Eahana.
Maggie Burns.
LAMBERT: Greg
Phillips and Eddie Rabal.
And Taxi Joe Malua.
Book him.
I expect some
consideration, Steve.
Consideration?
Two innocent men
dead, 12 others terrorized,
assault on a police officer
with a deadly weapon,
and millions of dollars stolen.
What more could you have done?
Well, you have to
admit, I almost made it.
Yeah.
Well, almost is a big word.
Book him, Danno.
Murder one, two counts.
inviting you to be with us next
for "Assault on the Palace."
Ladies and gentlemen,
you are about to witness a recreation
of the infamous Wilcox rebellion
just as it happened in 1889.
Suppose I wanna tell
you about a different kind
of bank job, Horton.
The rebels will invade key
buildings surrounding the palace
and declare a state siege.
I need two sets of
costumes, made-to-order.
One set nobody knows about.
Are the rebels ready?
Minimum.
Ten-million-dollar take.
Charge!
Outnumbered and faced
with superior firepower,
the rebels soon
panicked and surrendered.
Just a bank heist?
But the biggest
in Hawaii's history.
And right under our noses.
LORD: Next, "Assault."
Be here. Aloha.
Ladies and gentlemen,
you are about to witness a recreation
of the infamous Wilcox rebellion
just as it happened in 1889.
Not just a bank heist, but
the biggest in Hawaii's history.
And right under our noses.
Arthur, where are you taking me?
I haven't time for nonsense.
I guarantee, Henry, it will be a
most unique experience for you.
You, of course, know the legend
of King Kamehameha's grave, right?
KOLANI: That's for my
freshmen students, Arthur.
LAMBERT: The morning star alone
knows where Kamehameha's bones
are guarded, isn't that how it goes?
KOLANI: That's close
enough. What of it?
LAMBERT: Suppose
I were to tell you
that I have discovered
that grave, Henry?
KOLANI: Then I would say that
either you're the victim of a hoax
or totally ignorant of
ancient Hawaiian lore.
LAMBERT: Is that
what you would say?
Well, then take a
look right down there.
Arthur, give me a hand.
Certainly, just a minute.
Arthur, what are you
doing? Are you crazy?
No, Henry, just brushing up
on the ancient lore of Hawaii.
Very fine, for last year.
But we need something special
for this day's Kamehameha
Day celebration.
LEWIS: The chamber of
commerce agrees with you.
Something, uh, new
is called for this year.
Perhaps something that
touches on Hawaiian history.
- Oh, excuse me. Sorry I'm
late, Edna. EDNA: It's all right.
Gentlemen, uh, Mr. Chairman,
could I have the floor
for just one minute?
I've been working on something.
Uh, I'd like to
propose a reenactment
of an historical event
right on the palace grounds.
A little bit of history
coming to life, as it were,
within view of literally
hundreds of thousands of people.
Now, it just so happens, I
have the details right in here.
The Wilcox raid? Uh, wasn't
that an armed rebellion?
Yes, luckily one
that failed, Steve.
Wilcox tried to overthrow
the constitutional government
and set up an absolute rule.
With Princess Liliuokalani
as the figure head.
Actually, they did pretty good.
They held the palace, several
buildings for a whole day
and were finally routed
by the loyal Hawaiian army.
I assume it's all been
checked for accuracy?
Oh, yes. Yes, it certainly has.
I had it read by
Professor Henry Kolani.
Who, incidentally,
approved it enthusiastically.
By the way, where is Henry?
This is the first meeting he's missed.
No idea. Have you
seen him, Steve?
Not since we played
chess about a week ago.
Well, I wouldn't
be too concerned.
He told me they have a heavy
enrollment at the university.
You know Henry. Ha, ha.
This looks very good to me.
- I'm only worried about one thing.
- What's that, Steve?
Well, something like this
is bound to attract even larger
crowds than in previous years.
And crowds tend to bring every
crook and con man out of the woodwork.
That's quite true, governor.
And the business community
is very concerned about that.
Well, I'm sure you
can handle it, Steve.
We've already started.
If you'll stop by
H.P.D. later, Harry,
Danny Williams will show you
what we're doing about the problem.
- Fine.
- Well, what's the verdict?
All those in favor of letting
Wilcox raid the palace, say, "Aye."
ALL: Aye.
JAMESON: Unanimous.
- That's terrific.
Thank you, governor.
Appreciate it, Edna.
- Good work.
- Thank you, Harry. Steve.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Hey, driver, you sure we're
headed toward Waikiki?
Honey, it just don't
look right to me.
Hey, look, you don't
like the way I'm driving,
you can get out right here.
Now, that's the best
idea you've had. Come on.
Hey, one more
thing before you go.
Leave all your money
on the seat. Now.
- Clint.
- Easy, honey, easy.
I think this fella
means what he says.
So... So we'll just give
him what he wants.
You want big bills or singles?
WOMAN: H.P.D., honey.
Taxi Joe.
Still using the
phony cab bit, huh?
How many years in
the cage do you need
to learn it's getting
a little shopworn?
Okay, listen, everyone.
Your lawyers will be here soon.
Most of you will be out
on bail by this evening.
But I want you to take
this as a solemn warning.
We're getting ready for our
annual Kamehameha Day parade.
And Five-0's guaranteed the governor
there will be no heists, no scams
and no rip-offs of any kind.
Anyone who violates that
pledge will be in trouble.
Big trouble.
Understood?
Okay, lock them up.
GUARD: Single file, move it.
I don't know if my
talk will do any good.
Well, at least you've
given them a scare.
Danny, just off the press.
"Missing persons bulletin..."
- Professor Henry Kolani?
- Yeah.
- Better get this to Steve right away.
- Okay.
[RINGS]
- McGarrett.
- Steve.
I just got an MPB
on Henry Kolani.
Kolani is missing?
- Have you checked his apartment?
- Yeah, we did.
Everything was in order,
according to his landlady.
No signs of a struggle.
What about hospitals
and the morgue?
No, not a sign, Steve.
And there's no record of
any airline or steamship ticket
purchased in his name.
All right, I want an all-points
bulletin put out on him immediately
to every police officer from
Diamond Head to Kahuku Point.
- Full description.
- Okay, got it.
[PHONE RINGS]
- Hello, Mr. Horton.
- Now, who is this?
Pier 40, 35 minutes.
Right on time,
Mr. Horton. I like that.
Hey, who are you,
mister? What's your angle?
I thought my message
might give you a hint.
That message
meant nothing to me.
But you're here, aren't you?
Three banks, Mr. Horton.
Three banks that were robbed.
Three cases
unsolved by the police.
But I studied the
methods used in each one.
Remarkable how
consistent you are.
Let me straighten you out.
Last guy tried to shake me
down had a bad accident.
- Oh, relax.
- They never found all the pieces.
I'm not a shakedown artist, Horton.
Matter of fact, I'm a fan of yours.
You're the best bank
mechanic in the business.
Or were, till the Ala
Moana Trust. Ha, ha.
Allowing four
minutes for a getaway?
You could've cut that in
half. We'll do better next time.
We'll do better?
We're going into
business, Mr. Horton.
At an enormous
profit to both of us.
How do I know
you're not the fuzz?
A policeman asking
you to commit a crime?
Come on, Horton, you've been
around. You know that's entrapment.
It would virtually
guarantee your acquittal.
My acquittal for what?
Suppose, Horton, I were
to tell you about a plan
for a different
kind of bank job.
No problems about getaway time.
No worries about
alarm systems or guards.
The bank president would
actually be helping you.
If I were to tell you about that
kind of plan, what would you say?
I'd say you were nuts.
But I'd sure like
to hear about it.
I heard you worked miracles
with a sewing machine
at the women's reformatory.
Yeah, I'm a regular Betsy Ross.
What's the pitch?
I need two s...
I need two sets of
costumes made to order.
One set nobody knows about.
Couple dozen altogether.
- A lot of work.
- Hundred bucks apiece.
And 100 more if
nobody knows about it.
When did Betsy Ross ever say no?
Get out and don't come back.
6Go get him, Kimo.
Hey, brother Horton.
When did you get out, man?
They just sprung
me. How you doing?
Would it do me any
good to complain?
Kimo, old buddy, your luck's
about to change. Come here.
LAMBERT: All right,
now for the good part.
I, uh, tell you, gentlemen, I
think this is the first time in history
that a rebel leader's tried to
recruit the chamber of commerce.
[ALL LAUGH]
But, uh, I am gonna
need a few volunteers.
Now, what do you
say? Just a few.
I know there's some
frustrated actors out here.
Now, come on. Help
me out here. Sam?
Okay, good. Jeff?
What do you say? Okay, good.
And, uh, Harvey Adams,
can you help me out?
Thank you.
Jimmy Han, what do you say?
Okay, Jimmy. I'll need one more.
Well, the Army taught me never
to volunteer, but for you, Arthur...
Okay, let's hear it for Harry.
Yeah, yeah.
- Joey, what are you doing?
- Hey, Mr. Horton.
- How are you doing?
- All right.
It's good to see you.
Kimo tells me you
got busted again.
Yeah, I'm out on bail now.
I'd blow this island
if I had the bread.
Suppose I could supply
that for you? A big chunk.
- What's the deal?
- I need a wheelman, a good one.
Listen, listen, come
here, come here.
I'm talking about
minimum $10-million take.
[WHISTLES]
Split six ways. Double
for the idea man.
- Who's he?
- Ha. Only a genius.
Tell me more.
HORTON: Okay, everything's set.
LAMBERT: You're
beautiful, Horton.
I got key people for every job.
LAMBERT: But everything
has to come off like clockwork.
This has gotta be one of the biggest
bank jobs in history, you know that?
HORTON: Hey, that's
great with me, man.
I've been waiting
for a long time.
Remember, Horton, once everything's
in motion, nothing must stop us.
Absolutely nothing.
You know that?
You can count on it.
Good.
This is a good place
to rest. I'm beat.
[SCREAMS]
Chin, who found the body?
CHIN HO: A young couple hiking
saw a hand sticking out of the ground.
God, what a loss.
Brilliant mind.
Danno, get the word out to
Five-0 and all police districts:
No leaves, no days off.
No rest until the killer of
Professor Kolani is found.
- Right.
- Sergeant.
Get the body to the morgue,
I want a full work-up
as soon as possible.
McGarrett, Five-0.
Tell me exactly what
happened, please.
Well, we were out hiking.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
DOC: I was on my way to your office.
- What do you got?
DOC: The autopsy
report on Professor Kolani
indicates swelling and local
hemorrhages on the scalp.
He sustained blows
by a heavy object,
but there was no contusion or
hemorrhage in the brain itself.
So we can discount that
as the cause of death.
We did find aspiration of dirt
occluding the tracheal tube.
- Meaning what, Doc?
- He died of suffocation.
- You mean he was buried alive?
- Right.
He was hit on the head, buried
and then reached out before he died.
My God, how horrible.
No vehicle found in the area.
Which means he probably
drove up with his killer.
Could be somebody he knew.
Yeah, somebody who had the grave
already dug and waiting, but why?
Probably wasn't robbery.
His wallet and money
were still on him.
Okay, Doc, thank you.
You say Professor Kolani's
apartment was checked carefully?
By the Missing Persons Bureau,
- and I looked in again myself.
- And...?
Well, no sign of a
struggle or forced entry,
but I did find one thing I
thought you might find interesting.
What is this?
Kolani's copy of the
scenario for the Wilcox raid.
- Look at the cover.
- A question mark.
Yeah, I found it on the
desk, near the phone.
That might indicate he was
talking to someone about it.
Did you check with
the phone company?
Three calls the day
before he disappeared.
His secretary keeps a log.
I've checked out the numbers.
- What are they?
- Uh, first is to the library.
For some reference material.
Second, to the mainland,
to talk to his publishers.
And the third to the museum.
- What museum?
- Museum of the Pacific.
That's interesting. Arthur
Lambert is curator there.
Thank you, Danno.
LAMBERT: Hey, Steve.
Pleasant surprise
to see you out here.
McGARRETT: Sorry to bother you.
- Oh, no, no bother.
McGARRETT: We're investigating
Professor Kolani's death.
LAMBERT: Yeah, it's a tragic
thing. I still can't believe it.
We just learned that
the day before he died
he made a telephone
call here to your museum.
Well, that wouldn't
be unusual, Steve.
You know, Professor Kolani
was an expert on Hawaiian history.
But that call wasn't
to me, by the way.
Do you know if he
spoke to anyone else?
No, I don't, but I'll
certainly ask around.
No, no, that not necessary.
We'll take care of that.
If you'll just give me a
list of museum employees.
Absolutely.
Uh, Nathaniel.
Would you get a staff list
for Mr. McGarrett, please.
Yes, sir.
One more thing.
You mentioned that Professor Kolani
read and approved your scenario.
LAMBERT: Yeah.
- When was that?
- Well, let me see.
At least a month ago, long before
our last committee meeting, Steve.
Then you had no
recent conversations.
No, no, none at all.
Thank you, Nathaniel.
Thank you. We'll
be in touch, Arthur.
Well, anytime,
Steve. You know that.
Okay.
LAMBERT: Hey,
Harry, how's it going?
Uh, could I have
your attention, please?
These are your schedules
for the big day, gentlemen.
They tell which limousine
you've been assigned to,
uh, what time it's gonna pick you
up. So take one before you leave.
And remember, now, I
want you ready in costume,
in front of your house,
before the limo gets there.
I mean, we can't have a
revolution, without troops.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Okay.
[WHIRRING]
Steve, here.
We got the intelligence
report on all known con men,
thieves and
pickpockets in Honolulu.
We can't watch them
all. We brought them all in,
given them the impression
they're under a microscope.
Good idea, Danno.
Security reports on all
government buildings
and commercial
buildings in the area.
But nobody gets in today
unless authorized by us
or the parade committee.
Looks tight, let's keep it
that way. Thank you, Chin.
H.P.D. marksmen on rooftops
along the route of the parade.
We've got every VIP in
Hawaii to protect today.
Well, there's one we
didn't protect, Duke.
Professor Kolani.
- Who's that for?
- The governor sent this for you, sir.
Oh.
Thank you.
[CHIN HO CHUCKLING]
What's so funny?
Never saw a lei before?
All right, let's go, fellas.
HORTON: How you
doing? MAN: Pretty good.
Ma'am.
Okay, let's go.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
HORTON: How you doing?
- Good, how are you?
HORTON: Come on in. MAN: Okay.
HORTON: Ready?
Okay, Joe.
Well, we couldn't
ask for a nicer day.
The weather's fine, anyway.
No leads on the Henry
Kolani killing, huh?
No, sir, not yet.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
Hi there.
HORTON: How you doing?
- Good, good. Glad to see you.
You all right? Here you go.
Thank you.
You. I know you.
Police station, the lineup.
I saw you there.
- What are you doing driving this car?
- You've got me wrong, sir.
- Oh, no, oh, no, I'm not
wrong. HORTON: Lewis.
- No, I don't trust you.
HORTON: Get in the car.
- All right, get in the car.
- I'm gonna check this.
Get in the car.
Kimo, cover.
Okay, go, go.
[TIRES SCREECH]
[DOG BARKING]
- Steve, Harry Lewis was shot.
- He was shot?
He was found in his car on
Kilauea Avenue, critically wounded.
What was he doing on Kilauea?
- He was to be in the parade.
- I don't know.
They took him to Leahi
Hospital, he keeps asking for you.
Excuse me, sir.
Kibbo, take over.
- Having troubles?
- It appears that way.
HORTON: All right, everybody
out. Come on, move it.
Move it, move it.
Kimo, get them out of
there, man. Come on.
Out, out, move, move, move.
Look, any of them get
itchy feet, you blast them.
All right, guys, come on, come
on, fast as you can, come on.
All right, come on,
come on, get going.
Dr. Monsoo.
- How's Harry doing?
- I'm sorry, Steve.
We tried everything. He's gone.
[SIGHS]
Okay, doc. Thank you.
[TIRE SCREECHES]
Steve, I just had a
careful look at Lewis' car.
McGARRETT: Yeah?
- No bullet holes.
But dried blood on the
outside door handle.
That would probably mean he
was shot before he got into the car.
He was one of
the Wilcox raiders.
Weren't they to be picked up
by limousines from their home?
Yeah, 20 men, four cars.
Let's see if that's
what happened.
- Okay, you know what to do?
- Yeah.
All right, guys,
come on, let's go.
Well, I think the main
event is just about here.
- Guess I better go.
- Good luck.
Governor.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Kamehameha Day committee
proudly presents living history.
You are about to witness a recreation
of the infamous Wilcox rebellion
just as it happened in 1889.
In a moment, the rebels will invade
key buildings surrounding the palace
and declare a state of siege.
Are the rebels ready?
Ready.
[CROWD CHEERS]
Storm the buildings.
That's right.
All right, men, charge.
All right, rebels.
We surrender. Take over, huh?
Thank you, sir. We already have.
Let's open the vault.
- Hey, they said there'd be a rebellion.
- The vault.
- But it's on a time lock.
- I'll take care of it.
The palace and government
buildings are now in a state of siege.
But not for long.
The commander of the king's
guards has secured a cannon.
Carter-Wesson 1912.
LAMBERT: USS Adams,
which was anchored offshore.
You're making a mistake.
You'll never get away with...
Get him out of here!
The king's guards will
exchange artillery fire
with the Wilcox raiders
as a symbolic reenactment
of the Wilcox rebellion.
Are the king's guards ready?
Ready.
Commence firing.
That's number one.
- Are you ready?
- Okay, that should do it.
Okay, ready.
Let's go.
Outnumbered
and faced with
superior firepower,
the rebels soon
panicked and surrendered.
LAMBERT: Thus ending
the legendary Wilcox
rebellion of 1889.
Thank you. Thank you
very much. Thank you.
Danno, check inside
the house, will you?
Looks like bloodstains.
Apparently, he made it to his
car, then drove until he collapsed.
Chin, get over to...
Chin, get over to King Street.
Find out what happened
to the other businessmen.
Right.
Steve, no one's home. Harry's
family's probably at the parade.
Wait here a minute,
Danno. I've got a hunch.
- Excuse me, ma'am. WOMAN: Yes?
- Five-0, state
police. WOMAN: Yes.
- Have you been here all
morning? WOMAN: Yes, I have.
We're investigating a shooting
that took place across the street.
- Did you see anything?
- No.
- Did you hear anything?
- No, I didn't.
Well, a shot was fired. You
must have heard something.
I heard a noise. It was...
It sounded like the
backfire of a truck.
Or at least that's what
it sounded like to me.
I was dressing at the time.
Okay. Thank you.
- Going to the parade?
- Yes.
- I hear it's the best one yet.
- So they say.
- What kind of truck was it?
- It wasn't a truck, it...
An innocent man just
died in the hospital.
I try to understand why
people don't wanna get involved,
but we're talking about
a possible murder here.
We need your help.
All right, it was a
black car. I saw it all.
Did you happen to notice
the license plate number?
No, I was too upset.
What kind of a car was it?
Oh, I think it was a
Cadillac, it was a big car.
- How many men were there?
- I don't know.
- Any women?
- I believe they were all men.
Okay. I'd like you
to come downtown.
- All right.
- Thank you.
CHIN HO: Steve, I checked
with the parade committee.
- The raid came off like clockwork.
- Good.
That's one of them.
He was the driver.
Taxi Joe Malua.
- You know where to find him?
- I sure do.
Chin, get a warrant. Let's go.
DANNY: Steve, look
at this map. It's marked.
Yeah, someone laid out a route.
And all these markings are in
the Waialae and Kaimuki districts.
That's mostly residential.
- That's where Harry Lewis lived.
- That's right.
And that neighbor lady said
that the limo went west on Pahoa.
So assuming that this is the
route, after shooting Harry Lewis,
the killer or killers must have
driven up here to Kuliouou Ridge.
What's up there?
I don't know. Let's go and see.
[HORN HONKING]
McGARRETT: Wait a minute, Danno.
That tower could be
what we're looking for.
DANNY: Yeah.
Central, this is McGarrett.
We're at Kuliouou Ridge.
We're about to check
out the old tower up here.
Request H.P.D.
backup immediately.
Chin.
Cover Danno from
this little shack here.
Danno, you go down to the fence.
Work your way up. I'll go up
over the top of this ridge here.
We'll have the pincer movement.
Be careful.
[ROCK THUDS]
[CAN CLANKS]
Freeze.
Chin, take him.
It's okay, fellas,
Five-0, come on out.
McGARRETT: What happened?
- They shot Harry Lewis
and then they took us here.
Had their own people
wearing our costumes.
What were you
men supposed to do?
MAN: We were to take
over the Unified Bank.
- On King Street? MAN: Yeah.
Danno, let's go.
McGarrett to Central.
McGarrett to Central, code red.
Full mobilization directed to
the Unified Bank on King Street.
Robbery in progress.
Repeat, code red.
[POLICE SIREN WAILING]
Clean.
Not just a bank heist, but
the biggest in Hawaii's history.
And right under our noses.
CHIN HO: We did everything possible.
- Yeah, but not enough.
Which means we go into overtime
until this thing is wrapped up.
- What have we got?
- Booked the guard from the tower.
Got a long record here
and on the mainland.
- So far he won't talk.
- What else?
We got an APB out
for Taxi Joe Malua.
What about the bank
robbers themselves?
Somebody must
have seen something.
A lot of people, Steve.
But they all wore
mustaches and whiskers.
They all looked alike.
And we're gonna settle for
that, is that it? What else?
We found the limousine abandoned
near a parade assembly point.
- Ownership?
- Rented from an agency.
- In whose name?
- You won't believe this.
- Robert Wilcox.
- Wilcox?
Robert Wilcox.
Robert Wilcox.
It seems to me
that whoever planned this caper
knew an awful lot about the Wilcox raid.
Gentlemen, I want every
book you can find on the subject
and I want them now. We've
got some homework to do.
Memo to Five-0 staff.
It's now shortly after 2 a.m.
I typed a report on what I've
learned about the Wilcox raid.
You'll each find a copy of it
on your desk in the morning.
Study it carefully, I want to
discuss the contents with you.
Uh, there will be a staff
meeting in my office at 9 a.m.
Thank you. Good night.
- Good morning, gentlemen.
DANNY: Morning, Steve.
Well, have you all had a
chance to go over the report?
CHIN HO: Yeah. DUKE: Yup.
Who's the mastermind? Danno?
Lambert. Gotta be.
- Chin?
- No question.
- Duke?
- I agree, but how do we prove it?
How was Wilcox routed
by the king's guards?
Direct frontal assault.
Yeah, and that's the
way we're gonna prove it.
Ah, this lashing's getting old.
- Tell Joe I...
- Arthur.
Hello, Steve.
- I need your help.
- Well, certainly, anything I can do.
Nathaniel, why don't
you take a break now.
- Thank you, sir.
- Yeah.
- You heard about the robbery.
- Yes, it's a shocking, shocking thing.
Whoever pulled it off certainly
took advantage of your thinking,
your planning.
- How do you mean that, Steve?
- Well, they had to know every detail.
Which businessmen
were assigned to the bank.
When and where they
would be picked up.
Even the costumes had
to be duplicated exactly.
Yes, it must have taken
some kind of planning.
Yeah.
How many people had
early access to your scenario
while there was still
time to make plans?
Well, just the committee,
as far as I know.
I mean, there was the governor,
and you, Edna Kalakaua.
And my dear friend Henry
Kolani, and of course there's myself.
- I suppose I'm a suspect too.
- We all are, technically.
But...
- Arthur, I have another theory.
- What's that?
The people you mentioned
were entitled to access.
But isn't it possible,
just possible,
that someone else
saw your manuscript
without your knowledge?
Someone who works
here, for instance.
An employee, a typist,
or someone who runs
the duplicating machine.
Yes, it's possible,
Steve, but I don't know.
- Logical, isn't it?
- Yeah.
Someone here got a glimpse
of your Wilcox raid scenario
and it gave him an inspiration.
What an ingenious way to
get robbers inside a bank,
and all under the
guise of the reenactment
of an historical event.
A lifetime of riches for
just a few minutes of risk.
I can see how that might appeal
to someone of limited means.
Someone of limited future.
Surrounded with all this art
and these expensive treasures.
Someone who appreciates
them, but could never own them.
But...
[SIGHS]
The plan...
The plan was shot down
before it got off the ground.
Because of an error.
- An error on your part, Arthur.
- Mine?
A simple research mistake.
It seems that the Wilcox
raiders never got near the bank.
The coronation stand, yes.
The tax office, yes.
The Royal Hall of Records, yes.
But the bank, no.
Well, I tell you,
Steve, I, uh...
I could have sworn that I, uh,
read that somewhere, you know?
Professor Kolani
picked up on the error
and that's why he put a
question mark on the scenario.
Then he made a
call to someone here.
That's why, I
think, he was killed.
I just can't believe that someone
here would do such a thing.
Well, I can, Arthur.
And if I were that man,
I'd want that money in a safe place
where I could watch it most of the day.
If we find it, we've
got the murderer.
Could be anyplace here buried.
In that old war canoe,
inside any of these idols.
Even in that old throne.
All units stand by.
Suspect leaving in
haste with evidence.
All units, stand by.
Come in, please.
DANNY: Halt.
Good work, gentlemen.
Okay, let's start
with the names.
Thomas Horton.
LAMBERT: Kimo Eahana.
Maggie Burns.
LAMBERT: Greg
Phillips and Eddie Rabal.
And Taxi Joe Malua.
Book him.
I expect some
consideration, Steve.
Consideration?
Two innocent men
dead, 12 others terrorized,
assault on a police officer
with a deadly weapon,
and millions of dollars stolen.
What more could you have done?
Well, you have to
admit, I almost made it.
Yeah.
Well, almost is a big word.
Book him, Danno.
Murder one, two counts.
