Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 9, Episode 9 - Double Exposure - full transcript

An extremely violent episode in which two seriously loco mobsters wage war on each other, with Danny's photographer girlfriend -- who snapped a picture of one of the two sneaking back into the Islands -- caught in the middle. The only show for which Seth Sakai received guest-star credit (he plays the second mobster, who snaps his fingers to get ice cream literally on call) is the one that debuts his shaved head (it was filmed after "Target: A Cop"); he would use the cue-ball look for the rest of the series.

- Welcome home. It's all taken care of.
- Good.

- Sammy's next.
LORD: This is Jack Lord

inviting you to be with us
next for "Double Exposure."

You charge me,
McGarrett, or I walk.

So who is trying to take over?

Were Lamii and Nolo killed
because they got too ambitious?

I'm walking, McGarrett.

That girl, she just took
a picture and I'm in it.

Get the film.

MAN: Come on. Let's go. Move it.
WOMAN: Right. What are you doing?

So he's on my boat, so
what can you charge me with?



Well, we think we can
prove criminal conspiracy

which would make you
an accessory to murder.

We'll sell you
Vince, Mr. Weston.

- How much?
- 100,000.

And the top two vacancies
now open in your organization.

Your problem was
their loyalty to me.

Oh, they are loyal, Vince.

But not to you.

LORD: Next, "Double Exposure."

Be here, aloha.

SHERICK: It's all taken care of.
- Good, Sammy is next.

Were Lamii and Nolo killed
because they got too ambitious?

I'm walking, McGarrett.

That girl, she just took
a picture. Get the film.



[TIRES SCREECH]

OKIMA: Come on,
miss, let's go, move it.

We'll sell you
Vince, Mr. Weston.

How much?

One hundred thousand

and the top two vacancies
now open in your organization.

Your point is well taken.

I'll speak to Mr. Weston.

That's real nice
of you, Mr. Lamii.

You boys deserve a leg up.

You know, I'm glad
we had this little talk.

SHERICK: Welcome home, Vince.

It's all taken care of.

Good, Sammy is next.

It will be arranged.

- Where am I staying?
- An old pineapple plantation.

Is it safe?

It's out near Waipi'o.
Nobody will come up there.

Good, get my luggage.

It's been a long year
without you, Vince.

It's good to be home.

That girl, she just took
a picture and I'm in it.

Get the film, but no mess.

Vince said no mess, not here.

I know that girl. I saw
her picture in the paper.

Her name is Anne Waring.

[RINGS]

McGarrett. Yes, Duke.

When?

[SIGHS]

Yes, by all means, stay with it.

Yes, thank you.

Chin.

H.P.D. just found a body in the
tunnel out at Diamond Head crater.

Guess who.

Pule Lamii.

Well, somebody is getting
his sights pretty high.

Any idea who?

According to H.P.D.,

it had all the earmarks
of a gangland execution.

Messy one too.

Who was the man Lamii
answered to in the syndicate, Chin?

- Doyle Weston.
- Mm-hm.

Maybe somebody wants
to shake Weston up a bit.

Or it could be a power play.

Okay, Chin.

Get out there with the lab crew.

Go over every
inch of that tunnel.

Excuse me.

I don't really think that
you took very much time

to appreciate these photographs.

Now, um, I call this one
"Palm Tree By Sleepy Lagoon."

I've seen it before
on a postcard.

On a postcard?

You strike me as the kind of person
who would want an up-front answer.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

They do sort of
look like postcards.

If you want to
photograph life in Hawaii,

why not photograph
life in the islands?

People.

Streets.

Faces.

You sound like a native.

I am.

And you're Anne Waring.

There's no getting
away from that.

- Who are you?
- Dan Williams.

- Hello, Dan.
- Hi.

- Mm.
- To me, this is Hawaii.

Uh-huh. Are you a photographer?

No, no, I'm a police
officer in a special unit.

ANNE: Oh.

Oh, wouldn't the face
of a hardened criminal

make an absolutely
fantastic study?

Unless you would happen to know
some cop in the special units division

that I could catch
in action, huh?

- Sorry, pass.
- Oh, lookit.

I could follow you
on your beat, right?

I wouldn't get in your
way. I'm very good.

- Number one, I don't have a beat.
- Yeah.

Two, if I did, I
wouldn't be pounding it,

because, number three,
I've got a couple of days off.

That's great.

I'll be a wonderful
companion for you.

I just love doing
whatever, right?

And I don't cry a whole lot.

Well, how are you at picnics?

- Oh, try me.
- Come on.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Go ahead.

Yes, Sammy.

Just a minute.

It's Sammy.

Put him on the box.

What is it, Sam?

You hear about Pule, Mr. Weston?

Did I hear what about him?

SAMMY [OVER
SPEAKER]: He got taken out.

Cops found him in a tunnel
up near Diamond Head crater.

- Do they know who did it?
- If they do, they're not saying.

Put it on the streets.

I wanna know who is responsible.

SAMMY: Yes, sir.

Lou?

Find Sherick and Okima.

Medicine.

Medicine.

Anyway.

Aha.

I decided to walk
away from Hollywood.

DANNY: Hmm.

Why?

You've made so
many terrific pictures.

ANNE: Mm, well, I didn't
want to do it anymore.

What about all that
big money, huh?

[LAUGHS]

ANNE: The whole thing
got to be a big hassle.

Oh, you look so nice.

Your eyes are the same color
blue as the blue in the towel. Mm-hm.

- Gonna call it "Cop Relaxing."
- Why don't you?

ANNE: Why don't I what?

Relax, you haven't
sat still for a minute.

ANNE: Yeah?

Well, I wanna
finish this roll of film.

Why don't you try,
um, looking puzzled?

[ANNE CHUCKLES]

Okay, what about,
um, curious, hmm?

Let's see you look curious.

No, not furious,
curious, all right?

Put it down.

- I beg your pardon?
- Put it down and come here.

- Are you gonna try to seduce me?
- Ha, ha.

Maybe.

Hey, Danny?

You think I'll ever
be successful?

What?

No, ha, ha, I mean a
successful photographer.

- Oh.
- That's my ambition now.

I want all my pictures to
be in the top magazines.

What do you think?

Well, you have all the, uh,
energy that success demands.

What about talent?

That takes time to develop.

That's true.

- You're almost pretty, you know that?
- Ha-ha-ha.

Um, I have to finish that
roll of film, remember?

First things first.

ANNE: Yeah.

SHERICK: I was in the coffee
shop, and that actress here...

- What's her name?
- Anne Waring?

Yeah, she went out and
left these on her table.

I'll make sure
that she gets them.

You know, I'm a
real fan of hers.

Room 759.

Do your thing.

I better check in before
somebody starts missing us.

ANNE: You know, it's been
an uphill ride all weekend.

[DANNY LAUGHING AND
ANNE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Oh.

Ha, is my nose sunburned?

- Is it bad?
- Terrible.

[CHUCKLES]

But, uh, not so bad
that I'll be ashamed

to be seen with you on the
tennis court tomorrow morning.

Oh, I'm gonna get blisters
on my feet, you know.

But I'm looking forward to it.

- Pick you up at 11.
- Yeah.

Let's put the top down
on the way home, Koa.

[SHUFFLING NEARBY]

He's waiting for
you. And, Sherick...

He's breathing fire.

SHERICK: Mr. Weston?

Where the hell have you been?

Around, Mr. Weston.

I don't pay you to be
around anywhere but here.

Where's Okima? He around too?

I'll find him.

- Something come up?
- No.

Something went down.

Pule Lamii in sections.

- Who did it?
- That's what you're gonna find out.

I want the people who
took out Pule dead.

- Yes, sir.
- I want results, Sherick.

Yes, sir.

[DANNY WHISTLING]

Anne?

Anne?

Anne?

WOMAN [OVER PHONE]: Operator.
- Operator, get me hotel security.

I'm Officer Dan
Williams, Five-0.

Did Miss Waring call down

and leave a message for
me before she disappeared?

No messages, Mr. Williams.

But this just came in for her.

Did anyone come
here asking about her?

No, except the man
who left these glasses.

Wait, wait, um, do
me a favor, will you?

And, uh, pick them up with this.

Said she forgot them
in the coffee shop.

Did he see you
put them in her box?

I don't think so.

But you're not sure?

Sorry, sir.

Okay, thanks, ma'am.

Can't tear yourself away
for a couple of days, can you?

Duke, do me a favor, will you?
Have Che check these for prints.

Sure. Who do they belong to?

If I knew that, I wouldn't
have to have them checked.

Steve, any word on her yet?

H.P.D. is working on it, Danno.

Will you tell me what a
missing lady has to do with us?

That's H.P.D.'s jurisdiction.

Well, I, uh, met Anne...
Uh, Miss Waring.

And we spent most
of yesterday together.

Oh, I see, I see.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

- McGarrett. ANNE: May
I speak to Dan Williams?

Oh, yes, yes. Hang
on, please, he's here.

I think it's your lady.

Anne, you all right?

[SIGHS]

[OVER PHONE] Where are you?

ANNE: I'm, uh...

Oh, I'm at the beach
near Hawaii Kai.

DANNY: What
happened at the hotel?

Oh, that's what I
would like to find out.

Last night, after
you dropped me off

there was a man
waiting for me in my room.

He chased me. I
hid in the linen closet.

Do you have any idea who he was?

No.

I tried to phone you last
night, but I couldn't reach you.

I didn't wanna have to go back
to that old hotel room so I, uh...

I took a place out at
the beach for last night.

Danny, I need a favor.

Sure, just name it.

I'm gonna be staying with
a friend of mine, Edith Ward.

And I was wondering if you would go
by the hotel, pick up my things for me

because I don't want to go back there
with all the reporters and everything.

Sure, Anne, no problem.

Um, could you meet me there
about 1? She's a friend of mine.

She's a stewardess and, uh,
she won't be home until then.

Here's her address.
It's 1 12 Ahila Street.

Okay, I got it.

I'll, uh, notify the press
and H.P.D. that you're okay.

And I'll see you, uh, around 1.

Okay, Danny, thank you.

Bye.

McGARRETT: Goodbye.

"Sure, Anne. Sure,
Anne, just name it."

Isn't that sweet?

Just feel free to use my office

for personal calls any
time you wish, Danno.

KAUOLI: I just had
a call from Sherick.

Sammy Nolo goes
down in five minutes.

What about the girl?

She got by me.

- The film?
- She must still have it on her.

Is she still registered
at the hotel?

All her stuff is still there.

Be there when she
comes back for it.

Yes, sir.

WOMAN [OVER PHONE]: Operator.
- Room clerk, please.

CLERK: This is the room clerk.

This is Officer
Williams, Five-0.

Did someone pick up Miss
Waring's luggage from her room?

CLERK: Not that I
know of, Officer Williams.

Thank you.

SECRETARY [OVER
SPEAKER]: Telephone.

Danny on line one.

Yes, Danno.

Steve, I'm here in
Anne's room at the hotel.

I don't know what's going...

Danno?

[OVER PHONE] Danno?

Are you all right, Danno?

Danno?

Danno?

- Get Chin in here fast, please.
SECRETARY: Right away.

[DIAL TONE HUMMING]

112 Ahila Street.

That's it.

Central, this is Williams.
Patch me through to McGarrett.

Danno? What happened?

I got my bell rung, Steve.

I guess somebody
was hiding in the room.

Where are you now?

Whoever clobbered
me took the address

of Anne's friend out of my
pocket, I'm on my way there.

Danno, be careful.
Please, be careful.

Right, Steve.

Anne. What happened?
Somebody get an ambulance.

Anne, are you all right?

[AMBULANCE SIREN WAILING]

I'm Officer Williams, Five-0.

- What happened?
EDITH: Williams?

- Yes. EDITH: I'm Edith Ward.

- Anne's friend.
- Yes.

- Anne was involved in an accident.
- What?

It's nothing serious, they're just taking
her to Queen's Hospital for a checkup.

[SIGHS]

How did it happen?

Anne was running across the
street and she got hit by a car

driven by that man with
the officers over there.

Anne said something about
two men being after her.

Did she know who they were?

No, just that they had been
at her hotel room earlier.

Oh, and Anne gave
me a message for you.

Quote. Um...

"Hope we're still
on for tennis."

She said she'd call from the hospital
just as soon as they release her.

Thank you, Miss Ward.

Central, this is Williams.

MAN [OVER RADIO]:
This is Central. Go ahead.

Request an officer be
dispatched to Queen's Hospital

as temporary security
for patient Anne Waring.

Will do, Officer Williams.

Williams out.

You know how much I hate
to leave my house, McGarrett.

McGarrett?

Look at me, McGarrett.

Chin, that will
be all, thank you.

Who the hell do
you think you are?

My lawyers are on
their way over here.

You're not gonna
get away with this.

Get away with what?

Having me picked up
like a common criminal.

What kind of criminal
are you, then?

I don't have to
take that from you.

For years you've
tried to turn me under

and what have you got to
show for all that time, McGarrett?

It may be axiomatic, but I
have a very simple philosophy.

You shake the tree long
enough, and sooner or later

something has to fall out.

You're the one who’s
gonna fall on this one.

Because I'm gonna hit you
with a lawsuit for false arrest.

Where did you get the impression
that you were under arrest?

Then what do you call it?

I think of it as
protective custody.

Didn't my lieutenant
tell you that?

You're going to
protect me from what?

Haven't you heard what
happened to, uh, Lamii?

That's got nothing
to do with me.

Oh, really?

Now, I was under the impression
that you were very close to Lamii,

that he ran your gambling
and, uh, prostitution operation.

And that you had another associate
who handled drugs and porno.

And that was, uh, Sammy Nolo.

Correct?

What do you mean was?

You mean you haven't heard?

Less than an hour ago, they
picked him up in a basket.

Amazing how many of
you guys end up in baskets.

I guess you hadn't heard.

Here.

Read about the gory details
of his last hours on Earth.

You charge me,
McGarrett, or I walk.

I have no intention of
charging you, Weston.

Not now anyway.

All I want are the answers
to a couple of questions.

Who is trying to take over?

And were Lamii and Nolo killed
because they got too ambitious?

I'm walking, McGarrett.

Now.

Weston.

You sure you don't want to reconsider
my offer of protective custody?

You could be the next
one on their list, you know.

This just came in from H.P.D.
on the Ford sedan, Steve.

It was stolen and abandoned

a few blocks from where
Sammy Nolo was killed.

The lab team is
going over it now.

Obviously a pro job. I
doubt if they'll find anything.

How did it go with Weston?

Maybe a little light at
the end of the tunnel.

Maybe.

[AMBULANCE SIREN WAILING]

[TIRES SCREECH]

OKIMA: Stay right there.
Come on, miss, let's go, move it.

- Move it, come on.
- Okay, okay.

OKIMA: Out.
- Okay, all right.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

SHERICK: Maybe somebody
wants your autograph.

- Get in. ANNE: All right.

McGARRETT:
surveillance at Konioli.

- Steve. McGARRETT: Get a squad.

Steve, I wanna show you
something in one of Anne's pictures.

Look at the man on the
background on the boat.

Looks like Vincent Kauoli
with that bullet head.

Kauoli? May I see that?

I thought Kauoli was dead a
year ago in that plane crash.

Yeah.

Yeah, at sea, where the
body would never be recovered.

But it could have been a
smokescreen that we all bought.

Sent up by Kauoli to keep
from standing trial, couldn't it?

And this must be the
reason why they're after Anne.

Because of the picture, not her.

McGARRETT: Yeah.

And it also could be our answer

to the murders of Lamii
and Nolo, couldn't it?

You think Kauoli was
behind their murders?

Well, if he went away
for a year, came back

and found that somebody else had
taken over his organization, yeah.

Could be a vengeance killing.

Duke, uh, get
this picture to Che.

Tell him I want a
blowup of the numbers

on the side of this boat, looks
like some of them are showing.

And I wanna know who owns
it. Could be our lead to Kauoli.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

SECRETARY [OVER SPEAKER]:
Telephone for Mr. Williams, line two.

Williams.

What?

Yes, thank you.

That was H.P.D.

The ambulance was run off the
road on the way to the hospital.

They grabbed Anne.

The lady who takes pictures.

Where's the film, Miss Waring?

I already told them.

Tell me.

I took it to a photo
shop to be developed.

They're supposed to
deliver it to the hotel.

We've checked the photo
shop and the hotel, nothing.

Maybe they haven't
delivered it yet.

They delivered it.

Will somebody please
tell me what's happening?

[ANNE CLEARS THROAT]

Please tell me what's going on.

Take her inside.

You shouldn't have
brought her here.

Now she can make me.

Even if you find the
film, I want her dead.

I'll take care of it, Vince.

You take care of Weston first.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

[PLAYING MELODY]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Yes?

MAN [OVER SPEAKER]:
All we've been able to find out,

is Sammy had enemies.

Yes, Pule and Sammy
had enemies. We all do.

I don't want any more excuses.

Turn the streets.

I want whoever killed
them delivered on a platter.

Do it.

Want to tell me where
you two have been?

Following your
orders, Mr. Weston.

Then you should
have something for me.

We do.

We're ready to
deliver the killers.

They're not outside.

They're right here.

I mean, you're looking
at them, Mr. Weston.

WESTON: Run that by me again.

Listen to what I have
to say, Mr. Weston.

Listen to the whole thing.

Angelo and I took
out Pule and Sammy.

But it wasn't our idea.

It was Vince Kauoli's.

What the hell are
you talking about?

Like Mack the Knife,
old Vince is back in town.

- You're crazy. SHERICK: No.

You remember a year ago?

You paid Angelo
and I to hit Vince.

You were afraid he was
gonna name names?

Take you down with
him when he went to trial?

Angelo and I talked it over.

We just couldn't
do it, Mr. Weston.

Could we, Angelo?

Vince has always been
like a big brother to us.

So you staged his plane crash?

He paid us for that, big.

How much did he pay
you for Pule and Sammy?

Same as he paid us to kill you.

But we want to make
even a better deal.

Keep talking.

We'll sell you
Vince, Mr. Weston.

We'll even take you to him.

How much?

SHERICK: One hundred thousand

and the top two vacancies
now open in your organization.

For that, you buy Vince.

You two are...

Loyal, Mr. Weston.

Tolford.

Go to the downtown office.

Get the money.

McGARRETT: That your boat?

I don't know.

You don't know your own boat?

I don't know.

I ask you again.

- Is that your boat?
TENAKA: Again, I don't know.

That's your boat, mister.

We've got a positive make on it.

- So?
- So...

What's a dead man
doing aboard your boat?

Vincent Kauoli.

I don't know.

And I'm not saying one more
word till my lawyer gets here.

[McGARRETT SNAPS FINGERS]

I advise you to sit down.

[SIGHS]

Here's something for you to chew
on while you're waiting for your lawyer.

Statements, affidavits all tying you
into Kauoli's organization a year ago

when he was supposed to
have died in that plane crash.

Now, because of that,
the case was dismissed.

And you got off the hook.

But, uh, now it's a
whole new ballgame.

So he's on my boat.

So, what can you charge me with?

Harboring a
fugitive, for starters.

So charge me.

- Oh, there's more.
- More what?

More, it gets heavy.

We have reason to believe
that Kauoli was involved

in the executions
of Nolo and Lamii.

I don't know
anything about that.

Well, we think we can
prove criminal conspiracy,

which would make you
an accessory to murder.

Now, wait a minute,
McGarrett. What do you want?

Everything.

Everything you've got, including
where Kauoli is holed up.

I'm not in a position
to make any deals,

but I guarantee you that
if you cooperate with us,

I will speak to the district
attorney personally.

Think it over.

About a month ago,
I get a phone call.

It's Kauoli in Brazil.

Said he was gonna
be on a cargo ship.

Wanted me to pick him
up at sea with my boat.

Off Oahu.

And that makes you an accessory.

WESTON: Open the doors.

KAUOLI: Doesn't look like your
wheels have improved much, Doyle.

The doctors told me I'd be
crippled for life, remember?

Too bad.

I wasn't going to turn
you over at that trial.

I couldn't take that chance.

Could you see me going
around in a prison like this?

It would have been awkward,
but it didn't give you the right

to order Sherick and
Okima to do a number on me.

Your problem was
their loyalty to me.

Oh, they are loyal, Vince.

But not to you.

If we double-cross
Vince like we did you,

people just wouldn't
trust us anymore.

It won't work, Vince.

I've got the house surrounded.

You forget, Doyle.

I've known you for a long time.

Take a look.

I'm having them dumped
in the nearest sewer.

Let's talk, Vince.

We should have
done that a year ago.

Have a nice day, Doyle.

Okima, cops.

KAUOLI: Get the girl.

Move in.

Hold it or I'll waste the girl.

Have your men
throw their guns down.

Now.

Now.

Drop your weapons.

Bring your cars.

Bring your cars.

All right, line up.

Come along with the others.

Okima.

[GUNFIRE]

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

[GUNFIRE]

Take it up.

Yeah, hover here a second.

[OVER MEGAPHONE] Hey, Danno?

You wanted a couple
of days off, huh?

You got them.
