Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 9, Episode 3 - Oldest Profession - Latest Price - full transcript

The wages of sin are death for prostitutes who are being murdered by a pimp and his totally psycho helper in an effort to get the survivors to join his "stable." The women organize on their own and try to fight back, but are reluctant to go to the police because they could spend a long time in jail. But as the frequency and viciousness of the attacks increase, McGarrett establishes a tenuous pipeline to the women's leader to try to trap the enforcer.

LORD: This is Jack Lord
inviting you to be with us next

for "Oldest Profession:
Latest Price."

Three prostitutes, two
dead, one critically injured,

all within a period
of three weeks.

Must be a psycho, Steve.

You don't know whether
they wanna pay or not?

- Afraid so.
- No more bombs.

Something a little
more, uh, subtle.

Everybody has gotten calls.

For independence, it's 3,000.

For people like me,
it's 2,000 a head.



We can't let him do this to us.

For God's sake, Cory.

We can't give in.

CORY: Kind of late again,
aren't you, McGarrett?

Of course, I don't know
what I really expected.

We can't do much if you
clam up on us, honey.

We need your cooperation.

- We pay.
- We don't pay.

Look, I don't wanna end up
shelling out for the rest of my life.

People are supposed to take
vacations to Hawaii. That's wrong.

What do you want?

You.

LORD: Next, "Oldest
Profession." Be here. Aloha.

Three prostitutes, two
dead, one critically injured,



all within a period
of three weeks.

Must be a psycho, Steve.

Don't know whether
they wanna pay or not.

- Afraid so.
- No more bombs.

Something a little
more, uh, subtle.

We pay.

We don't pay.

Look, I don't wanna end up
shelling out for the rest of my life.

People are supposed to take
vacations to Hawaii, not from.

- What do you want?
- You.

[FRANK SPEAKS IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

FRANK: Come right over here,
folks. Take a picture with nice Leilani.

Something to remember Hawaii by.

Yes, those nice cold
nights back home.

You liked that,
didn't you, sir? Good.

That's it. Okay, ready?

[CAMERA CLICKS]

Uh-huh, that's
nice. Okay, uh-huh.

How about another one now? Good.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come on in.

It's open.

Hi, I'm Jim.

Uh, Pete said...

- You know Pete. Uh...
- Drink?

No thanks. I don't
really have time.

Relax.

Make yourself comfortable.

[PHONE RINGING]

- Excuse me.
- Sure.

Hello?

- Did you get my present yet?
- What?

CALDWELL [OVER PHONE]:
I left something there for you.

Who is this?

It's right there in the drawer.

ALISON: Who is this?

CALDWELL: Right in
that drawer. You got it?

Yes, but I... [LINE DISCONNECTS]

Pardon me, honey.

Someone just sent me a gift.

[SIRENS WAILING]

- What we got, Duke?
DUKE: A bomb explosion.

Fourth floor. Two people hurt.

- Any warning?
- No threats, just one explosion.

Cleared the
building just in case.

Bomb squad's making a check.

JIM: I'm okay now.

I gotta go, I got an
appointment. I just gotta go.

Word is she's a hooker,
Danny. First-class.

Three in two weeks.
Let's take a look.

It's a mess up there.

The third one?

One drowned, one bludgeoned
to death and now this.

Chin, come in here, please.

Does this one give
us anything to go on?

DANNY: No more
than the first two, Steve.

Bomb was small,
apparently planted.

Che Fong's working
with the Bomb Squad.

The girl had a client with her.

- Have you questioned
him? DUKE: Briefly.

Pretty shook up.

Three prostitutes, two
dead, one critically injured,

all within a period
of three weeks.

Must be a psycho, Steve.

CHIN HO: May not be routine,

but sounds pretty much
like an H.P.D. matter.

No, gentlemen, I don't think so.

Psychos follow a pattern,
a characteristic M.O.

And here we got
three different M.O.s.

Far too much method
to this madness.

No, especially when there's
another possible explanation.

- Extortion.
- Yeah, you got it.

Perfect targets. They're not
exactly law-abiding citizens.

Yeah, plenty of cash flow.

Independent call
girls can make, what?

Maybe, uh, 200 a trick.

I've heard higher than that.

How did you know that, Duke?

Chin told me.

Big money when you multiply it
by the number of girls on the street.

And where there's big money,

you can bet organized
crime is involved.

Which means I wanna be involved.

Okay, Chin, get
on your informers,

see if anybody is trying to muscle
in on the uptown hooker trade.

Duke, girl's clients, stay
in touch with Che Fong.

The makeup of that
bomb may be our only lead.

Danno, feed the information
on that bomb into the computer.

See what it coughs up.

We can't even tell the computer
how the bomb was detonated.

Well, maybe the client
can tell us that, or the girl.

She's still in shock. Doctors
say she's lucky to be alive.

Yeah.

Maimed for life. Lucky, huh?

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

It's about those, uh,
three coworkers of yours.

[OVER PHONE] You know, the ones
that were found, uh, dead or worse.

That's a warning.
Uh-huh, from me to you.

[OVER PHONE] You better get 3,000
of your hard-earned dollars together

in the next couple of days

or the same thing
could happen to you.

You dig, baby?

CALDWELL
[WHISPERING]: This is about

those three coworkers of yours.

You know, the ones who
wound up dead or worse.

They're a warning
from me to you.

You're supposed to get 3,000 of
your hard-earned dollars together

[OVER PHONE] in
the next couple a days

or what happened to
them could happen to you.

Dig, baby?

Thank you.

- What's her name?
- Joanie.

- Joanie, this is Mark.
JOANIE: Hi, Mark.

Just got to the
islands, didn't you?

Yeah, yeah. How can you tell?

You don't have a tan.

- Is that right?
- Oh, yes.

- Cory, hi.
- Char, we've gotta talk.

Uh, not here. Dee?

- Take over the desk, okay?
- Sure.

- Hey, Cory. How are you doing?
- Not bad, kiddo.

[SIGHS]

Yes?

Is she still running
a temperature?

Then tell her she
must stay in bed.

Tell her she can
watch television

and be sure she gets
her medicine at 2:00.

Debby's got a cold.
I'm keeping her in bed.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I know why you're here.

It's about the phone call.

Yeah. Did you get one?

Yes.

I didn't tell them and I
don't want them to know.

Still haven't quit with the
mothering, have you, Char?

Never hurt you any
when you were here.

- Well, what are we gonna do?
- I don't know.

- Well, who have you talked to?
- Everybody.

Everybody's gotten calls.

Everybody who ever
turned a $200-trick.

For independents, it's 3,000.

For people like me,
it's 2,000 a head.

Everybody's scared crazy.

The last girl,

he used a bomb.

I know.

We can't let him do this to us.

For God's sake, Cory.

We can't give in.

What the hell are
we supposed to do?

You think the cops are gonna treat us
like we raise pineapples or something?

They can't help us.
Nobody's gonna help us.

We're not gonna pay.

He's gonna walk all over us.

Next time it's gonna be $5,000.

Pretty soon, we're
gonna be worse off

than the streetwalkers pulling
them in off of Hotel Street.

Cory, there's nothing we can do.

There's gotta be
something we can do.

Call a meeting.

Call a meeting for Monday.

You can get word to
everybody better than I can.

They've gotta understand
what we're up against.

Monday at the Lava Terrace at 2.

You can have your say.

Fine.

Would think you'd have stopped
trying to twist the world your way by now.

I expected you to
mellow out once you left.

If I have to play this game,
I'm gonna play by my rules.

That's never going to change.

There are other games, Cory.

[SCOFFS]

Oh, Char.

Do you really
think guys out there

would let me be a
lawyer or something?

Come on.

No matter where I started, I'd
end up doing the same thing.

Whether I got paid or not.

You know that as well as I do.

Bye.

Do the taxpayers know
you live like this, McGarrett?

McGARRETT: Oh, hi.
- Hi.

Listen, this boat was paid for
with hard dollars, after taxes,

and I can't even
claim a deduction.

And I thought I had it good.

- Are you from Internal Revenue?
- Ha, ha.

No.

And I don't plan to stow away.

I just wanna talk to you.

Okay, I'll be with
you in a minute.

And then we can talk.

Okay, let's talk.

Your office would have been
embarrassing for both of us.

It's about the three hookers.

Oh.

I see.

And all the time, I was
hoping I had a new deckhand.

I guess now we
play What's My Line?

Let's start with, uh,
what's your name?

- Cory.
- Just Cory?

Just Cory.

Okay, Cory. What
can I do for you?

Girls in my racket don't
get blown up for nothing.

Something's going on.

You wanna tell me
what's going on?

Yeah, I'm gonna
tell you everything.

Only in return, I want complete
immunity from prosecution

for as long as I work Hawaii.

See not just girls, McGarrett.

Clients will probably go next.

Big clients.

Sit down, Cory.

No deal.

Doesn't matter what your line
is, trade-outs aren't my style.

Besides, what can you tell me?

It's extortion, isn't it?

A shakedown?

The guy's asking for, what,
um, 1,000 to 2,000 a girl?

Three thousand.

Three thousand for me and
2,000 a head in the houses.

Where is the drop-off point?

We don't know yet. We
just got the calls yesterday.

What did he say?

He said I'd better start
getting together $3,000

or I'm gonna end up
like the other three.

What do you know
about the other three?

The last one was a friend.

You see, nobody knows anything.

That's why I came to you.

What else can you tell me?

That's it.

And I'll bet you're really glad you
didn't make that deal now, right?

It's what you'll be able to tell me
after he calls again that's important.

Now, where can we get in touch?

No way, McGarrett.

My clients start smelling cops
and pretty soon I begin to starve.

You've got to let us know
about the drop-off point.

I can't take any more chances.

I'm as scared as
everyone else, all right?

I hope you understand
we're doing everything we can.

We need your help.

Aren't you gonna tell me how
all this wouldn't be happening

if we were good little
girls instead of call girls?

Yeah, I would tell you that,

but obviously you already know.

Thanks.

I'll be seeing you.

I hope.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

CALDWELL [OVER PHONE]: Cory?
- Yes.

Um, my name is Larson.

I'm in town for a convention.

[OVER PHONE] I was hoping
maybe you could schedule me in.

Well, I don't believe we've met.

Yeah, well, uh, we haven't.

The guy at the hotel I'm
staying at told me to call you.

Well, who is that?

Uh...

Wasura.

Uh, Pete Wasura?

[OVER PHONE] Hey, lady,
listen, I'm straight. I mean...

I mean, this guy just told
me I ought to give you a call.

I can ask him for another name.

No, no, that's all
right. That's all right.

Um, why don't we just,
uh, set a date, then?

It, uh, can't be today.

How about tomorrow, about noon?

Noon tomorrow.

Yeah, that will be fine.

Why don't you meet me in
the lounge of the Lava Terrace?

The table all the
way in the rear.

And, uh, we'll get acquainted
over bloody marys, all right?

Sure, doll. I'll be there.

Bye.

Well, no need to wonder anymore
about the three call girls who were hit.

I have it on good authority
that it was indeed extortion,

to the tune of $3,000 a girl.

- And that's just for starters.
- Yeah, undoubtedly.

Your authority say
who gets that 3,000?

The girls have only gotten
one phone call so far.

The kind really meant
to shake them up.

No mention of a
drop-off point yet.

Danno, got anything?

Zero on the computer.

If this guy's ever tried this before,
he used another bag of tricks.

What about the bomb victim?

Still waiting the
okay to talk to her.

And the client, Duke?

Not very helpful.

He was more concerned about
his reputation than anything.

Said there was
just an explosion.

Bomb could have been
placed there any time.

He did remember that she
had just gotten a phone call.

Duke, the girl made her
living with phone calls.

Anything else?

Che's up to his knees
in debris from that room,

trying to piece that
detonator together.

- Nothing yet. CHIN HO:
I may have something.

I picked up a name on the
streets. Um, Matthew Pendelton.

I did some digging, found that he used
to play ball with the big boys in Detroit.

Looks like he's come
here to start his own game.

And guess what
his favorite pitch is.

- Uh, protection money.
- Ha, ha, right.

Danno, why don't you and
Chin pay a visit on Mr. Pendelton.

Find out why he's honoring
us with his presence.

Be a pleasure.

[PHONE RINGS]

McGarrett.

Yes.

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you.

That was the hospital, Duke.

The Moana girl, she's conscious.

Get over there right away.

Hey.

You must be Cory.

Mr. Larson?

- Cory.
- Ha, ha.

Darling Cory.

Hey, I know why there's so
many ugly girls walking around.

- Oh?
- Because you got all the looks.

Ha, ha.

Uh, just bring us two more of
whatever she's having there.

So, uh, what
convention are you with?

- Uh, from Chicago.
- Mm-hm.

Uh, auto parts distributorship.
I own a couple of those.

- Really?
- Yeah, two or three.

- Well, you have to be...
- I was kind of afraid to call you.

Because what's been happening.

Oh? What's happening?

Well, two or three of you chicks

have bought the farm in
the last couple a weeks.

I mean, I been reading about it.

I thought maybe you'd tell
me what's happening here.

I'm afraid we're out of celery.

Oh, already?

Uh, I did give you two
extra limes, though.

Yeah, that's fine, that's
fine. That's okay, it's fine.

These are worthless
without the celery.

No, so, uh... I
mean, is it a...?

It's a weirdo or what that's
behind those murders?

Look, I don't know
anything about...

It's protection money.

It's a shakedown, right?

There is nothing for
you to worry about.

- Now, why don't we just...
- I mean, why doesn't everybody pay?

I mean, you know, if that's it. I
mean, you'd pay, wouldn't you?

Look, pal, you got it all wrong.

We don't pay anybody.

They pay us.

And I really have to go.

Oh, you're leaving?

Well, there's no celery.

Hey, we'll go somewhere else.

No, I have this appointment.

And, uh, I thought I could
make it and still be with you.

But, uh, now I see I can't.

So I'll call you
some other time.

All right, you do that.

- I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna call you.
- All right, then.

WOMAN [OVER PA]:
Cole, Emergency Room.

Dr. Cole, Emergency Room.

Alison?

I'm Duke Lukela.

Five-0, state police?

We're trying to find
out who did this.

What happened before
the bomb went off?

He called me.

Somebody called
you on the phone?

He left me a present.

It was in the drawer

so I took it out.

I was going to open it.

Who called you on the phone?

[WHIMPERING]

Alison?

This is Duke Lukela. Patch
me through to Che Fong's lab.

- Lab.
- Che, I just talked to the Moana girl.

That phone call she got
just before the explosion,

looks like the caller
planted the bomb.

If so, it could have been detonated
from some kind of remote signal.

Could you pass that on to Steve?

Right away.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

McGarrett?

No, I'm Williams.

This is Officer Kelly.

Well, what can I, uh,
do for you, gentlemen?

We have a few questions
to ask you, Mr. Pendelton.

Please. It's Penny, nickname.

You pick that up in Detroit?

- I've earned a dossier already?
DANNY: You better believe it.

What's it gonna be this
time? Something new?

Numbers? Dope?

Or maybe the old standby?

Which is?

Extortion.

You, uh, trying to tell me
that you got a problem?

Let's just say certain
things have been happening.

And with an expert on
extortion in our backyard,

we'd be stupid not to
check him out, wouldn't we?

And you men are
not stupid, are you?

All this sunshine
here, gets pretty warm.

Coming from Detroit, you
might find it can get real hot.

- Oh, yes.
- One, that is. Hey, Joanie.

- Hi, Michelle. WOMAN 1: Hi.

Hi, Sharon [WOMEN
SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

WOMAN 2: Cory.

Okay, we all know
why we're here.

What do we do?

You make it sound as
though we have a choice.

- We have a choice.
- We pay.

We don't pay.

You wanna end up like Alison?

Look, I don't wanna end up
shelling out for the rest of my life.

You're not gonna end up
doing anything if you're dead.

I mean, we're only hookers.

What the hell does that mean?

It means you always wind up
giving some dude a cut anyway.

Well, that's why we
are where we are.

Yeah, look where we are.

What if we don't pay,
Cory? How safe can we be?

He knows our names, our
numbers. He must know references.

Well, we'll be extra careful.

PAM: Extra careful?

Kia gave the third degree to
every man that came to her door

before she even let them in.

And look what happened to her.

Washed up on Sunset Beach
with half the ocean in her.

We can't let this freak intimidate
us. Now, come on and think.

We pay and we're puppets.

He'll never let go.

He gets tired and he'll sell his rights
and somebody else will take over.

We give in and we
pay from then on.

For keeps.

If I had my piano, I'd be playing
"Stars and Stripes Forever."

- I'm with you, Cory.
- All right, fine.

I'm not. She's gonna
get somebody else killed.

WOMAN 1: That's right.
PAM: That's what I think too.

Sit down, sit down.

There's nothing we can do now.

There's nothing we can
do until we get another call.

And when we do, we're
all gonna do the same thing.

JOANIE: And no cops.

I don't want that
creep blowing me away

because somebody
went to the cops.

PAM: It's probably
one of them, anyways.

And I'm ready for a drink.

Coming, Cory?

This is our detonator, part
of which is a radio receiver.

Pretty much like
this one I bought.

Steve was right, huh?

Yeah, the bomb was
triggered by a radio signal.

High frequency,
very short range.

Had to be transmitted from no
more than 100, 150 yards away.

Which means the phone
call which made sure

the girl was next to the bomb
had to be from the same distance.

So the extortionist could have called
from inside the apartment building

or right outside.

Thanks, Che. Let's go.

You wanna know what's
happening in Detroit?

Snow.

Twenty-three
inches of that yuck.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, I'm gonna like it here.

Hey, uh, honey, why
don't you go watch TV.

I, uh, had some visitors
from Five-0 today.

Five-0?

Dropped by for a little
game of cat-and-mouse.

Nothing to worry about.

Is there?

Well, you know, it looks like
they're doing some thinking.

Don't know whether
they wanna pay or not.

Afraid so.

No more bombs.

Something a little
more, uh, subtle.

Subtle.

Yeah. Leave it to me.

WOMAN [ON TV]: You know
about my cousin Edward, don't you?

MAN [ON TV]: The one
who's in the hospital?

WOMAN [ON TV]: Yes, honey.

Only he's not in the kind
of hospital you think he is.

I mean...

CHAR: Hello.
- Hi.

CHAR: Looking for
someone in particular?

No.

You've never been
here before, have you?

Terry Kwan sent me over here.

Fill this out, please.

One hundred.

Thank you.

All right.

MAN [ON TV]: Now, now.

Don't start worrying about
things before they happen.

That's a good way
to drive yourself crazy.

WOMAN [ON TV]: It's just that
everything is so beautiful now.

I just hate to think if
anything happens...

That one.

Dee?

Dee, this is Bill.

Hi, Bill.

Let's go back where it's quiet.

Yeah, okay.

Right back this way.

It's nice and cozy back here.

- This where you work, huh?
- Uh-huh.

Let me take your jacket.

[GASPS]

No, sweetheart, I
want you to stay in bed.

I know you're better, but you
still have a little temperature.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Now be a good girl and
I'll see you a little later.

Char, nobody's seen
Dee for over an hour.

And that guy she went in with,
I swear, I never saw him leave.

Not out the front.

See, nobody answers.

Dee?

Dee.

Oh, my God.

[SIREN WAILING]

Where's the owner?

Charlene Jenkins.

Miss Jenkins? McGarrett, Five-0.

It was a sickie.

The kind that pays to beat
up on a woman for an hour.

The kind lawyers bust their
rears to keep out on the street.

Don't you take precautions
to screen out the sickies?

He's got the card.

Chin, let me see that.

"Bill Jones"?

"Moana Hotel"?

Doesn't this sound
a little phony to you?

Ninety percent of them do.

The card's just a formality.

He knew the right name.
He had clean fingernails.

There wasn't time
for a Rorschach.

What did he look like?

Short, heavyset,
kind of moon-faced.

Is that it?

After ten years in the
business, they all look alike.

Well, maybe you'll remember more
when you take a look at the mug files.

I don't think so. There's
nothing more to tell you.

Okay, then let's start
with the phone calls.

Or haven't you gotten
the second one yet?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Has he told you where
to drop the money?

- Excuse me.
- Miss Jenkins...

CHAR: Get a warrant.

CORY: Kind of late again,
aren't you, McGarrett?

Course, I don't know
what I really expected.

All the great
Five-0 boils down to

is a bunch of cops
and a lot of publicity.

We can't do much if you
clam up on us, honey.

We need your cooperation.

So you can do what?

Bug our phones?

Stake out our apartments?

Let's face it, McGarrett.

Somebody drew a line
and put us on one side

and you on the other.

And all you can do is

keep score.

[CORY SIGHS]

Hope you're enjoying the game.

Char?

I'm going to the bank tomorrow.

You can't.

After what happened to
Dee, it will be very easy.

But not you.
They'll all give in.

I'm not gonna fight it, Cory.

Please, don't.

Just leave, Cory. Get out.

CORY: But, Char, I...

Get out.

Time, gentlemen, time.

Time is what we don't have.

Now, those girls will get another
phone call today and they'll pay.

And the calls they get in the future
will be just a part of their way of life.

While that fat cat from Detroit
sits around in the sun getting fatter.

What about the bomb?

We checked the
occupants of the building.

Couldn't find anybody who looked
like they'd connected with Pendelton.

Is there a phone booth
just outside the building?

There's a pay phone on the
beach about 100 yards down.

Yeah, but it was too late
yesterday to check out foot traffic.

We're going back today the
same time as the explosion.

Somebody might
remember something.

Good. Keep me posted Chin.

Your informers, lean on them.

See if anybody's talking
about a drop-off point for money.

CHIN HO: Right.

He could've parked
his car back there.

Phoned the girl,
slid in this side,

flicked the switch wired to
a battery then drove away.

All without calling
attention to himself.

Duke.

Very good.

Those guys are not
gonna like you back home.

You can pick them up
tomorrow. Satisfaction guaranteed.

MAN: Thank you very much, sir.
- Okay.

- Yes, can I help you?
- Yeah.

Danno Williams, Duke
Lukela. Hawaii Five-0.

I got every license
they told me to get.

I'm sure you do.

- You here every day?
- Have been for the past three weeks.

We're you shooting
the day of the explosion

in that building three days ago?

Yeah. It's the best
day I ever had.

Would it be possible for us

to see the pictures that
day before the explosion

I don't have the prints, but
I do have the color slides.

Here. These were before.

I keep them in order.

Yeah, this is the guy from Ohio.

This was just before.

Duke, take a look.

- Somebody at the phone booth.
- Yeah.

Hey, you might be interested in
these, being police persons and all.

Some black and whites I
grabbed during the excitement.

Look at those faces.

You know, I'm really into faces.

They're nice.

Can we take this and these?

Sure.

- We'll get them back to you.
- Okay.

Anybody asks, tell them
you got them right here.

Frank's Fotos.

Your photographer was
using high-speed film.

The grains and loss of resolution
going from a transparency to a print

make this a little
disappointing.

DANNY: You're not kidding.

I could ship it to a photo
enhancer at another lab.

No, no, by that time, our
boy would be on a plane

with a ticket to the Swiss Alps.

Danny, that shirt.

Yeah? I've seen
a hundred like it.

No, no, no.

Here.

And that hair.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's the same guy.

Che, we'll need a print.

The guy in this one.

Anybody sick enough to set
off a bomb in somebody's hand

would be just sick enough
to hang around afterwards.

Darling Cory.

Thought maybe
I'd find you in here.

I've been trying to get
ahold of you all day.

You have?

Yeah. What, did you stop
answering your phone?

I haven't been home.

Why don't you just pay?

I mean, you know,

I heard when another one
of those girls got it last night.

It's extortion, right?

Maybe it is.

Maybe there's some
macho freak out there

who thinks messing up women
is a far-out way to make a living.

Maybe he thinks we're used
to shelling out for protection.

Well, I don't shell
out and I don't pay.

Boy, you got spirit.

You don't find them
much like that anymore.

I wanna go back to
your room with you

and just forget this
whole thing, huh?

- I have an appointment.
- You said that the last time.

I do. I'm booked.

Not anymore, you're not.

Let me out.

Come on. Ask me to go with you.

Please.

Please, what?

All right.

Let's go.

Harry, can you help me?

My car door is stuck and I
can't seem to open it, huh?

Thanks.

DANNY: Steve.

We came up with a photo
of a man at a pay phone

just outside the apartment
building before the explosion.

- A photo? DANNY: Yeah,

thanks to a photographer
named Frank.

Duke is on his way to H.P.D.
with a copy to check the files.

I think we may have something.

I hope so, Danno. I hope so.

I have a feeling that right
now that fat cat Pendelton

is finding Honolulu just
a little too agreeable.

DANNY [OVER PHONE]: Yeah.

Let's get him.

Ah, the garbage man cometh.

Not bad looking trash, huh?

[PHONE RINGS]

- Yes.
- Pendelton?

PENDELTON [OVER PHONE]:
It's payday, Mr. Caldwell.

It's going beautifully.

No, no, it's not.
We got a problem.

One of the dolphins
is gonna be trouble.

One hooker can't
possibly be trouble.

Well, this one's different.

Why let one of them bother you?

Just come on in and collect
your little green coupons.

I gotta make this one pay.

No rough stuff, Caldwell.

There's always a price
to pay for overindulgence.

I've got a score to settle.

Be very careful.

I will.

[LINE DISCONNECTS]

Steve, the guy in
the phone booth,

his name is Keith Caldwell.

Has a record clear
back to junior high.

Mostly assault charges.

Almost beat his
former wife to death.

Did four years.

- I bet he was paroled.
- Uh-huh.

Yeah, three months ago.

He's a local, pretty tight
with syndicate muscle.

That's got to be him, Danno.

- Have you got an address on him?
- Yeah, and it looks current.

Steve, H.P.D. came through
with the license number

and a description
of Caldwell's car.

They've got an APB out on him.

Good, Duke. You
stick with H.P.D.

Danno, order up a search
warrant for Caldwell's place.

- I've got it waiting at the courthouse.
- Then what are we waiting for?

Maleea, get me the district
attorney's office, please.

Danny?

Look at this.

Girls' phone numbers and...

P.

What do you bet it
stands for Pendelton?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Yeah?

CALDWELL: It's just the
manager. I wanna check the leak.

Well, just a minute.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Just a minute.

Darling Cory, ha-ha-ha.

Listen, I told you I
had an appointment.

Hey, look at this.

Hey, I finally get a chance
to see where you live, huh?

Look, I have an appoint...

How did you find me, anyway?

Well, hey, you know.
Your friend, uh...

Your friend Wasura.

He knows my number,
not where I live.

Well, I don't know then.

Maybe, you know... Maybe
it was somebody else.

- Like who?
- Come on.

Why don't you show
me around here, huh?

What's this?

It's the bedroom?

Hey.

People are supposed to take
vacations to Hawaii, not from.

[LAUGHS]

What do you want?

You.

Come on. Come on now, come on.

Come on, we don't wanna
bother the neighbors, do we?

[CAR DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

[CORY SQUEALS]

Okay.

Okay.

Now maybe you can
be of some use after all.

Come on. Come on.

Car 166 to Central,

send me a backup unit at
the Killowaya Apartments.

Notify Five-0.

CALDWELL: Open the door. Go on.

McGarrett to Central.

MAN [OVER RADIO]: Central.
- Patch me through to Dan Williams.

DANNY [OVER RADIO]: Steve?

Danno, H.P.D. has spotted Caldwell's
car in the 1200 block of Killowaya.

You and Chin get
there as fast as you can.

DANNY: Will do.

Okay.

Get that car out of
there. Go on, get it out.

OFFICER: Come on. Give it up.

- No, you give it up.
OFFICER: Okay, come on.

Go on.

Hey, what do you think,
I got something to lose?

Get back.

Get it out there.

Get it out of there.

Caldwell.

You got the idea now?

You get too close,
I'm gonna kill her.

Get in there. Go on.

Come on.

Sure was nice of you to oblige
back there, sweetheart. Ha, ha.

But obliging's right
up your alley, huh?

[SIREN WAILING]

They're gonna catch you.

Oh, no. They're
not gonna catch me.

You know what's up ahead?

Cane fields, baby.

Ha, ha. I was born and
raised in those cane fields.

Uh, nobody's gonna
catch me, sugar.

Thanks to me.

Thanks to you.

You now and then
those cane fields.

Nobody's gonna catch me.

Yes, they are, macho man.

Time to pay up.

[GUNFIRE]

Get out. Get out.

Hey, hey, listen, now.
I wasn't alone in this.

- It wasn't just me, you know?
- Turn around.

What if I tell you? What
if I tell you who else?

You'd probably lose a
friend named Pendelton.

Book him.

Cory.

Don't try to move, honey.

McGarrett?

Just lie there.

We've got an ambulance
here. You're gonna be all right.

Maybe I'll get lucky and scar.

Nice big long ones.

No, no.

Don't worry.

Then I'll have
to start all over.

[GASPING]

Make a hell of a
secretary, won't I?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You'd make a great one.

What she did took a lot of guts.

Yeah.

From here on in, she's
gonna need a hell of a lot more.

Let's go, Danno.
