Magnum P.I. (2018): Season 1, Episode 14 - I, the Deceased - full transcript
Magnum investigates the murder of a man who, pre-death, hires Thomas to find his killer.
Higgins.
Higgins!
Zeus, Apollo, sit.
You do realize that eating in bed
leads to insomnia.
- I sleep just fine.
- And it attracts insects.
I'm not afraid of ants and roaches.
These hounds of hell,
on the other hand...
Zeus, Apollo, outside.
Roll over.
Good boy.
Do we really have to do this now?
Well, roaches and ants may
not bother you, Magnum,
but they bother me.
It's bad enough that
you're sleeping out here.
It's not my fault the guesthouse
is full of termite damage.
This house has eight bedrooms,
and yet you choose to sleep
on a sofa in the common area.
It's really comfy out here.
I give up.
There is just no point trying
to reason with a toddler.
Oh, and a package
came for you this morning.
It's in the study.
And for the love of God,
put some trousers on.
Usually, when a
lawyer wants to reach you,
it's bad news. But if he's reaching out
on behalf of a potential client,
that could mean a job.
That's a lot of cash.
It's $10,000.
Why on earth would anyone send so much?
I don't know, but this came with it.
- You mind if I use the laptop?
- Sure.
That'll be $50.
Are you seriously gonna charge me?
You promised to purchase
your own laptop months ago,
and it still hasn't happened. As such,
now every time you want to use my laptop,
the charge is $50.
That's a little extreme.
That is my price.
Either you can get your own,
or you can, as you Yanks
are so fond of saying, make it rain.
You have any change?
I'll just keep it. Thank you.
No doubt you'll need to borrow
my laptop again in the future.
By the way, you still owe me
for the repairs on the Ferrari.
I know.
Mr. Magnum, hello.
My name is Larry Hayes.
You don't know me, but I'm
reaching out to you for help.
I've tried everything.
No one will listen.
No one will believe me.
At first I thought I was just
being followed, being watched.
But it's clear now that it's
much more serious than that.
Someone's after me, Mr. Magnum.
They want to hurt me, I know it.
And if you're watching this now...
I'm hiring you to solve my murder.
Careful with that. And
watch where you're walking.
Auntie, please,
we're trained
pest management professionals.
Who are about to pump this place
full of poison.
Look around. We have
valuable artifacts in here.
Plus, we have animals on the property.
I need more than just your word
that everything will be okay.
Knock, knock.
What seems to be the problem?
Rick, did these guys come through you?
Yeah, uh, Higgy asked me to help out
with Thomas's termite issues
that he's having, so I called my buddy.
Dennis Sterling.
Teuila.
You guys know each other?
We went to high school together.
Haven't seen each other
in what, 15 years?
Uh, give or take.
Okay, looks like you kids
have some catching up to do.
You still look the same, though.
Oh, stop.
Okay, go on.
What's the holdup?
I'm concerned about your chemicals.
You don't have to worry.
There's no residue,
and as long as we aerate
and do a clearance test,
this process is perfectly safe.
But to be careful,
these gentlemen will carefully remove
whatever items you want
and put them in the garage.
Guys, Teuila's in charge.
Nothing happens until she
gives the green light.
Mahalo, Dennis.
Wow. Well,
looks like my work here is done.
Um, you know,
since you guys have to clear
everything out of here,
I'm-a go ahead and take this.
Uh, you know, if Magnum asks,
just, uh, tell him
it's for the bajillion favors
that he owes me for. Mahalo.
I'm sorry to be so difficult.
You still haven't changed.
You still have that fire in you.
So, listen, I have
to head over to another job site,
but I will be back to
check on everything.
Sounds good.
Okay.
Okay, boys. Let's do this.
I've tried everything.
No one will listen.
No one will believe me.
At first I thought I was just
being followed, being watched.
But it's clear now that it's
much more serious than that.
Any answers?
Yeah, I just spoke
to the law firm that sent this.
They handled Larry's mother's
affairs after her death.
They hadn't heard from Larry
until last week
when he asked them
to send me this envelope
in the event of his death,
which apparently happened 12 hours ago.
It was a car accident.
Well, that's a little curious.
That's more than a little curious.
I mean, this guy's convinced
somebody's after him,
and then he ends up dead.
I mean, there's got to be
a connection there.
One thing I don't understand
is why Mr. Hayes hired you
to investigate his murder specifically.
- 'Cause I'm good.
- Debatable.
I'm leaving.
Seriously. I mean, I can understand
someone wanting to engage your services
if the only compensation
they could offer was...
I don't know, live poultry.
But it appears money was no object.
Surely Mr. Hayes could have
hired someone more reputable.
But he chose you. Why?
I don't know.
But he did, so I'm obliged
to look into this.
Magnum, you-you know
that twice as many people
die in car accidents as homicides.
I'm not saying
I'm not intrigued by all this,
but have you considered the possibility
that it is just a coincidence?
Like any good detective,
I don't believe in coincidences.
I still don't really know why I'm here.
My assistant said that you had
- information about my brother?
- Yes.
I know this may sound strange, Katrina,
but your brother hired me
to solve his murder.
I'm sorry.
Uh, this morning I received
a video he made for me.
He thought somebody was out to kill him.
Are you saying that what
happened wasn't an accident?
Well, we're not saying that,
but the timing of it is suspicious.
I can't believe this. I...
Last week Larry said
that he thought someone was watching him.
He wouldn't leave his apartment.
The only reason he left yesterday...
because he felt sick
and he needed to see the doctor.
I thought he was being paranoid.
That he was having delusions again.
What do you mean?
Larry was... schizophrenic.
If he was off his meds,
he would sometimes see things,
hear things.
You don't think that this time
it could've been for real?
Well, we won't know for sure
- until we look into this.
- You have to.
Please.
What if he was right all along
and I just didn't believe him?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
At this point, it's very likely
that it was just a car accident.
And if it wasn't?
Well, if it wasn't, then
we'll do what Larry hired us
to do in the first place.
We'll solve his murder.
Okay, according to the police report,
Larry lost control here
and then slid off into the ravine.
Does that furrowed brow
constitute a conflicting thought
or the need for a potty break?
I'm thinking maybe someone
forced him off the road.
Perhaps.
But it's a single lane
going in one direction,
so that would've been difficult.
And plus, there's only
one set of skid marks.
All signs point to it being an accident.
Not if somebody tampered with the car.
And how do you intend to find that out?
The police must have impounded
the car by now.
Really appreciate this, Mikey.
Car's in the back.
Only got an hour.
Does that buy you enough time?
Please. This'll take 30 minutes, tops.
Don't hold your breath
on Magnum reimbursing you
for that hundred, by the way.
What are you talking about?
He promised he was gonna pay me back.
When will you learn, man?
Thomas never has more
than 40 bucks to his name.
Welcome to the club, Shammy.
What club is that?
The Do Free Favors for
Thomas Magnum Club.
Working for me,
you get an honorary membership.
Yeah, lucky me.
I'm not worried about the money
'cause I know this client
paid him ten stacks
just to take the case, so he's
got no excuse not to pay up.
Hold up. $10,000?
Mm-hmm.
Thomas ain't mention that.
Yeah, probably 'cause
he knows you're gonna want him
to reimburse you for all the fuel costs
that have been stacking up,
helping him out with his cases.
That's what I'm thinking.
Damn. Is this it?
Yeah, that's the one.
You up, doctor.
I really thought I had a shot
at being prom king that year.
- Not with that beige tux, you didn't.
- Wait a minute now.
It was pale gold, and I only wore it
to match Kalea's dress.
Oh, look, there she is.
How's she doing?
Actually, we're divorced now.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
Well, it's pretty recent.
Still can't bring myself
to take this thing off.
Hey, do you remember
those parties I used to throw
when my parents were on the mainland?
How could I forget?
Well, I have moved back into that house
since they passed away,
and whenever I'm on the lanai,
I think about those days.
Yeah.
I had the biggest crush on you.
Oh, stop.
You loved all the ladies.
I'm embarrassed by the way I used to be.
Well, you certainly have changed a lot.
Thank you.
Listen, um,
you think you might want to...
uh, I don't know...
get together sometime?
Oh, no, I couldn't.
It-It's just, uh...
my husband was the love of my life.
I... I haven't even thought
about dating anyone
since he passed.
I understand.
Tell you what.
It's a... open invitation.
I would really just love to reconnect.
I mean that.
I'll think about it.
Well, I'd better get going.
- Um, thanks for the coffee.
- Okay.
- Listen, you can hang onto this.
- Oh.
And I will pick it up
- when I come back to get the tent.
- Okay.
Are you sure?
Dude, I ran a full
diagnostic on this thing.
It's clean.
Steering, brakes, tires, everything?
They all check out.
Nothing was tampered with.
Okay. Well, thanks for
checking it out for me, Shammy.
I appreciate it.
I'll talk to you guys later.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on, Thomas. One more thing.
Heard about your big payday.
Got me thinking.
Maybe it's time for you to finally
pay me back for all that free flying
I do for you any time you have a case.
You want to charge me for that?
It's $450 to fill up my tank.
Of course I want to charge you.
Yeah, but I thought you enjoyed it.
Why would you think that?
I don't know. Rick likes
helping me out with cases.
Uh, no, no, Rick doesn't, in fact.
Rick thinks that Thomas
is taking advantage
of their friendship.
All right, I hear you.
TC, send me a bill.
Check the mail, brah.
I mean, geez, you come
into a little money,
and suddenly everyone's
got their hand out.
I liked it better when I was broke.
"Rick enjoys it." Give me a break.
Right?
I'm out of here.
So, it appears
as if your client Mr. Hayes' demise
was indeed a tragic accident.
It wasn't a homicide.
Yeah, maybe.
You're still not convinced?
Not really. There's still
one thing I want to check out.
- Hola.
- Not a good time, Magnum.
She always says that.
And I always mean it, except
this time, I really mean it
because I have a double homicide on deck.
Look, this isn't gonna take long.
This is Dr. Noelani Cunha,
the best medical examiner on the island.
And this is Juliet Higgins,
- majordomo of Robin's Nest.
- Pleasure.
You're the one that has to deal
with this guy all the time?
- Sadly, yes.
- Ugh. That can't be easy.
Are you really having this
conversation in front of me?
- It's dreadful.
- You poor thing.
Okay, that's enough.
Look, I have a question.
Uh, what can you tell me
about Larry Hayes?
- What do you want to know?
- How'd he die?
Well, his car went off an incline,
so he suffered multiple
fractures, so chances are
blunt force trauma had something
to do with it.
Okay, well, that's obvious.
Dig a little deeper, though.
I-I'm thinking there may have
been foul play involved.
See, right about now is
where Magnum tries
to bribe me with food, except this time
I'm going to preemptively decline.
Okay.
H-How about a-a donation
to Home for Hawaii?
Whatever spare change you have
in your pocket won't be enough
to get me to do this favor.
How about a more sizable
donation? Say, uh...
75 bucks. It's pretty generous.
I was thinking more like
a thousand dollars.
Magnum's actually pretty
flush at the moment.
Magnum? That can't be true.
No, I can assure you
he's, he's quite liquid.
So, a thousand dollars?
Anything for charity.
Brilliant.
Okay. I'll look into it.
Keep your phone on.
Juliet, it was great meeting you.
- Girls' night sometime?
- I'd love to.
Great.
- She's great.
- You know, at this rate,
I'm not gonna have any
of Larry's money left over.
Not my problem. So what now?
I'm gonna go check out Larry's apartment.
You are welcome to stay here if you want.
And miss the opportunity of
seeing you arrested for B and E.
Not a chance.
That's not gonna happen.
Can I help you?
Yeah. Good afternoon, ma'am.
I'm Lieutenant Thomas Magnum with HPD.
This is my associate Juliet Higgins.
I need to talk to you about one
of your tenants... Larry Hayes.
Come in.
See? No B and E.
You do realize that
impersonating a police officer
is a much more serious crime?
It's not a real badge.
Yes. You have made that
moronic point before.
You're ruining the moment.
If you need anything else,
Lieutenant, just let me know.
Thank you, Caroline.
I'll be sure to tell the captain
how helpful you were. Hmm.
Wow. Looks like Larry was pretty
serious about home security.
Makes sense.
He thought someone wanted to kill him.
Discover something, Detective?
Lieutenant.
And, yeah, uh...
This receipt's dated from yesterday.
14 hours ago, to be exact.
Must've been Larry's last meal.
Yeah, not a bad choice either.
Been to that place. It's delicious.
Oh.
Roaches. How lovely.
You do realize Robin's
Nest is gonna be crawling
with these things if
you don't stop munching
in the living room. Just saying.
Yeah, yeah.
It looks like Larry was
staying up on his medication.
Magnum, look.
Lieutenant Magnum, what do
you think you're going to do now?
I... I don't know. I spent
most of my adult life, uh,
trying to help people
and trying to be of service.
I guess it's-it's part
of who I am, part of...
who we all are.
Uh, I think it'd be nice
to be able to find
some way to keep doing that,
to... help people in need
who... maybe have nobody to turn to.
Well, it seems like
Larry was an admirer of yours.
At least we know now
why he reached out to you.
Noelani, what do you got?
Hey, I found traces of aconitine
in Larry Hayes' system.
Even a small amount can cause
shortness of breath,
nausea, and then, finally,
cardiac arrest, which is exactly
what happened to Mr. Hayes.
He was dead before
his car went off the road.
You were right.
More like Larry was right.
It was murder.
No, none of this makes any sense.
My brother was a good person.
He was kind, and he was sweet.
That's why we're trying to help.
You know... I made a promise to my mother
before she died
that I would look after Larry.
I worked as hard as I could
just to support the both of us.
I thought I was helping him,
but maybe if I had focused less on work
and more on him,
I would have listened better.
You know, I wouldn't have
dismissed his fears as symptoms.
I-I... If I had just believed him,
I could have done something to stop.
Don't do this to yourself.
Someone is responsible for this,
but it's not you.
Excuse me.
Katsumoto. Uh, Katrina, this is
Detective Gordon Katsumoto.
I'm with HPD, ma'am.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
I need to ask you some questions, but
first I need a word
with Mr. Magnum and Ms. Higgins.
You know, just when I was starting
to think, "Maybe Magnum's
not such a bad guy,"
you go and keep me in the dark
about a homicide.
Instead, I have to find out from the M.E.
We were gonna tell you.
We just thought
Katrina should know first.
Look, Detective, I don't see any reason
why we can't all work together on this.
Oh, you don't? How about,
out of the three of us,
I'm the only one with a badge.
Now, you two want
to investigate a homicide
on this island? Great.
Graduate from the Academy,
spend five years in uniform,
pass the exam, and get your shields.
But until that day comes,
you need to back off.
The only reason there's
a homicide to investigate
- is because of me.
- Is because of you.
Yes. And the only reason you got
this far is by breaking the law.
Now, you're lucky
we're not charging you. Now go.
Look at it this way: you
proved your client was right,
and now HPD are going to investigate.
And let's face it... $10,000
for one day's work is not bad.
Maybe you could take some
of that cash and use it
to get a hotel room until
the house is fumigated.
That way you can eat in
bed as much as you like.
What?
- Uh, cockroaches.
- I'm sorry?
So, there's three ways
Larry could have been poisoned...
injection, skin contact,
or he could have ingested it.
Okay. And?
Well, Katrina said Larry was so
scared somebody was after him,
he wouldn't leave his apartment
for over a week. Right?
So, if somebody's stuck in their
home, how would you get to 'em?
Poison the food being delivered there.
Exactly. And what do
cockroaches go after?
Wh-What you said earlier
about the crumbs.
What if those dead cockroaches
in Larry's apartment ate
his leftover food
and that's why they died?
Certainly seems plausible.
We need to find whoever
delivered Larry his last meal.
Katsumoto told us to back off.
I'll back off when my client
tells me to back off.
Hey.
Oh, what are you doing back here?
Oh, Higgins asked me to come
check in on Dennis's crew
while she's helping out Thomas
with something.
- Oh.
- Hey, how crazy is it
you guys went to high school together?
I guess it's
a pretty small island, but...
You okay?
Dennis asked me out.
Really?
Wow, that's exciting.
- What?
- Nothing.
It's just...
I've been thinking about it, and...
I just don't think I'm ready for that.
Well, how long has it been?
Since my husband died?
Almost four years.
Uh, now, Kumu,
don't take this the wrong way,
but you're still pretty young.
Why would I take that the wrong way?
No, let me finish. I...
I'm saying you're still pretty young.
You got a lot of years left
on this earth.
You really want to spend
all that time being alone?
I mean, look, it's not like
the guy proposed or anything.
He just asked you on a date.
You should go, you know?
Let your hair down.
You deserve it.
Thank you so much. My associate and I
really appreciate it.
So, the delivery guy
didn't recognize
the photo of Larry that I sent.
He said he didn't give the food to Larry,
that he handed it to someone
who was waiting outside the building.
So Larry's killer
intercepts the delivery,
poisons it, and pretends to be
the delivery guy.
We have to go and get Larry's last meal
so the lab can test it.
Only got one pair of these,
so make sure you don't leave any prints.
I was a covert operative, Magnum.
You don't need to teach me
how to be invisible.
Hey!
- Go that way. Cut him off.
- Yeah!
Are you kidding me?
If that man already killed Larry,
why would he come back here?
Higgins,
there's a hole here,
behind where the fridge was.
It's empty.
Whatever was in here,
he must have gotten it out
just before we arrived.
So that's what all this was about, then?
Larry was murdered so
that the killer could get
into his apartment
and break through the wall?
Yeah, looks like it.
But why now?
Yeah, good afternoon, ma'am.
I'm Lieutenant Thomas Magnum with HPD.
Demolition notice posted
at the front of the building.
The building's about to be torn down.
That would explain the urgency
to get inside.
Stay right there. Don't move.
It's okay.
You can put 'em down.
I know these two.
The hell you doing here?
Larry's sister pays the rent
on this place.
Okay? We had permission.
What's with the hole in the wall?
That was already here when we got here.
According to the M.E.,
Mr. Hayes ingested the poison
before he got behind the wheel.
That makes this the primary crime scene.
You need to leave so we can get
CSU in here to process.
Okay.
No problem.
Katsumoto isn't gonna be pleased
when he finds out
you're keeping him in the dark again.
It's the only way we're
gonna stay on the case.
- What's the next move?
- Got to find out
who the tenants were
that lived there before Larry.
Maybe they can tell us
what was hidden inside the wall.
I don't think she appreciated
your little deception earlier.
Larry was someone I cared about,
and you lied to me!
And I'm sorry about that.
Look, the truth is,
I'm a private detective.
Larry hired me, and I just...
I need a list of people
who lived in his apartment
before he did.
Here.
Scooch.
Caroline,
I don't know what the police told you,
but Larry didn't perish
in a car accident.
He was murdered.
Now, I know that Magnum's ethics
can sometimes be...
questionable,
but you should know
that he never gives up on a client
and he will do whatever he feels he must
in order to solve a case.
Now, you don't have to forgive him.
But by helping him, you would be
getting justice for Larry.
Okay.
I'll get you that list.
May I help you?
Kalea Upolu?
It's Kalea Sterling now.
Do I know you?
It's, um, Teuila Tuileta,
from Kukui High.
Right!
Hi!
Oh, wow, it's been a long time.
Wh-What are you doing here?
Oh.
Uh, I just stopped by
because your husband,
Dennis, is, uh, fumigating where I work,
and I, I just wanted to tell him
everything is going well.
He was right.
I had nothing to worry about.
Good.
I'll be sure to tell him.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Uh, j-just give him the message.
Nice seeing you again.
You, too.
By the way,
you look great.
Uh...
We should start
by looking into previous tenants
with a criminal record.
Done.
There are two,
one of whom is deceased,
the other of whom
is currently in prison.
Randy Hamaka.
He was arrested two years ago
on an assault charge.
I heard of this guy. He used
to run all the criminal activity
on the Waianae Coast.
But if he's still in prison,
there's no way he's the same man we
ran into in Larry's apartment.
No. But he could know
what was in the wall
and who may be coming after it.
Sorry, can't help you.
Well, whatever was hidden in that wall
was worth killing over,
which tells me it was probably valuable.
If you say so.
When do you get out?
Two months, right?
Yeah. So?
So tell me what was in the wall,
and maybe I can help you get it back.
Look, Randy, I'm not a cop.
Okay? So I don't care
what was inside the wall.
Stolen goods or whatever.
I just want to find the guy who has it.
Well, you're gonna have
to do that without me.
'Cause, like I said,
I don't know what you're talking about.
And if I wanted to hide something,
I'm not sticking it in no kitchen wall.
Good talk.
So, is he in on it?
Up to his eyes. But he's playing dumb.
Well, actually, he's not playing dumb.
He's straight-up dumb,
because I said there was something hidden
in one of the walls.
I didn't tell him which room.
And, somehow, he knew
I was talking about the kitchen.
We have to find out
who Randy's been in contact with
on the outside.
He might have sent someone
to Larry's apartment.
Yeah, that's gonna mean accessing
prisoner phone records and visitor logs.
You think you can manage that?
Child's play.
Magnum.
Don't ask how, but we found a suspect.
Who?
An ex-con named Jayson Colfax.
He's an accomplished thief
who's recently been in contact
with a prisoner at Halawa
who used to live in Larry's apartment.
I'm sending you his photo now.
We'd seen Colfax poking around
Larry's apartment earlier.
Pinged his phone.
He's in Honolulu Harbor right now.
I'm thinking he might be trying
to get off the island.
Okay.
We'll meet you there.
But wait for us.
Of course.
Magnum.
Looks like he's in the mill.
Ow! Ow, you're hurting me.
Would you prefer a bullet?
My friend has 16 of them.
Well done.
Who are you guys?
Larry Hayes hired me.
You remember him, right?
The man you poisoned to death.
I didn't mean for that to happen.
I was just trying to get him sick enough
so he'd leave his apartment.
Did Randy Hamaka send you there?
Yeah.
Why? What was in the wall?
I got him. Go check it out.
Katsumoto?
No. Not Katsumoto.
Three men. All armed.
Your friends?
No. Randy must've sent them.
I got word to him about
everything that happened,
and I told him where I was
- so he'd help me off the island.
- Well, it looks
like he wants to silence you.
We'll get you out of here,
but you have to work with us.
Did you scope the ins and outs
of this place?
Yeah. There's only one,
and they're coming through it.
Then we'll have to cat
and mouse it out of here.
Got 'em!
Go, go.
TC.
What did Jayson say?
Randy told him to break open
the wall behind the fridge
and remove whatever was inside,
but when he did, he didn't find anything.
Are you saying this guy Larry
was murdered
for something that wasn't even there?
Looks that way.
Unless Jayson was looking
in the wrong place.
Yeah. Some of the apartments
got remodeled a few years ago
and things got moved around.
This is where the kitchen used to be,
and that's where the fridge was.
We ran ballistics on the
gun we found in your old place.
Got a match
to a pair of unsolved murders
from eight years ago.
Both gang-related hits.
But until now HPD hadn't found a weapon
or the person who pulled the trigger.
You knew they'd find the gun
in your old apartment
when they tore it down next month,
so you had Jayson Colfax go recover it.
Problem is, the man who
lived in the apartment wouldn't leave.
So Jayson had to get creative.
Tried to poison the guy just
enough to get him to leave.
Unfortunately for both of you,
he went too far.
You were so close
to getting out, Randy.
Now you're not going anywhere.
Enjoy your time in prison.
On any other day,
solving two murders would feel good.
Trouble is, for that to happen,
one man had to die.
All because some guy was dumb
enough to hide a gun in a wall.
I know it doesn't make it hurt any less,
but if it wasn't for Larry, the families
of those two victims
never would've got justice.
We hope that will give you
some small measure of solace.
It does. Thank you.
And thank you.
Both of you, for believing in Larry.
He's married.
He's married? Are you kidding me?
Men are such dogs.
Damn right. You know what?
When we're done here,
I'm gonna go over there
- and have a talk with that guy.
- I'm going with you.
Don't you dare, either of you.
You're not at least a little bit upset?
Maybe a little.
On the other hand... it felt good
to get all dolled up.
And it made me realize
that I need to put myself out there.
Maybe it's time.
Can't we just key his car, at least?
Please don't. Then I'll have
to cite you for vandalism.
Which reminds me,
you'll be getting a citation of your own
in the mail in the next day or so.
For what?
You can't go around
impersonating a cop, Lieutenant.
Found out about that, huh?
Oh, just be thankful
you're getting off with only a fine.
I'll also be needing
that phony badge of yours.
At least you still have
all that money from your case.
Uh, that's not entirely true.
How come?
'Cause you sure as hell
didn't give any to me.
Or me.
I felt bad for taking all that money.
I mean, my daily rate's only 550 bucks,
so I took what I needed,
and donated the rest
to Homes for Hawaii in Larry's name.
You mean after you put aside the money
that you promised to reimburse us.
Well...
I think that's a no.
It's not cool, Thomas.
What you want me to do? You want
me to get the money back?
'Cause I could get it back.
Nah, 'cause then we would be
the bad guys.
See, this is exactly
what we're talking about.
You always taking advantage.
Katsumoto, back me up here.
Yeah, he's right, Magnum.
I got to say, it's getting a little old.
Okay.
I'm not gonna ask anybody
for any more favors.
How long do you think that will last?
They do have a good point, Magnum.
You have a terrible habit
of exploiting your friends.
Although, to be fair, you do also possess
some admirable qualities.
I'm listening.
Case in point: I was skeptical at first,
but you always had faith in your client.
And were it not for your
pig-headed persistence
and sense of mission,
this case would never have been solved,
so you deserve a little credit.
Well, thank you, Juliet.
You're welcome.
Oh, and I wasn't gonna
pile it on just then,
but I do still expect you to repay me
for the repairs on the Ferrari.
I was really hoping
you'd forgot about that.
Sorry. No such luck.
Higgins!
Zeus, Apollo, sit.
You do realize that eating in bed
leads to insomnia.
- I sleep just fine.
- And it attracts insects.
I'm not afraid of ants and roaches.
These hounds of hell,
on the other hand...
Zeus, Apollo, outside.
Roll over.
Good boy.
Do we really have to do this now?
Well, roaches and ants may
not bother you, Magnum,
but they bother me.
It's bad enough that
you're sleeping out here.
It's not my fault the guesthouse
is full of termite damage.
This house has eight bedrooms,
and yet you choose to sleep
on a sofa in the common area.
It's really comfy out here.
I give up.
There is just no point trying
to reason with a toddler.
Oh, and a package
came for you this morning.
It's in the study.
And for the love of God,
put some trousers on.
Usually, when a
lawyer wants to reach you,
it's bad news. But if he's reaching out
on behalf of a potential client,
that could mean a job.
That's a lot of cash.
It's $10,000.
Why on earth would anyone send so much?
I don't know, but this came with it.
- You mind if I use the laptop?
- Sure.
That'll be $50.
Are you seriously gonna charge me?
You promised to purchase
your own laptop months ago,
and it still hasn't happened. As such,
now every time you want to use my laptop,
the charge is $50.
That's a little extreme.
That is my price.
Either you can get your own,
or you can, as you Yanks
are so fond of saying, make it rain.
You have any change?
I'll just keep it. Thank you.
No doubt you'll need to borrow
my laptop again in the future.
By the way, you still owe me
for the repairs on the Ferrari.
I know.
Mr. Magnum, hello.
My name is Larry Hayes.
You don't know me, but I'm
reaching out to you for help.
I've tried everything.
No one will listen.
No one will believe me.
At first I thought I was just
being followed, being watched.
But it's clear now that it's
much more serious than that.
Someone's after me, Mr. Magnum.
They want to hurt me, I know it.
And if you're watching this now...
I'm hiring you to solve my murder.
Careful with that. And
watch where you're walking.
Auntie, please,
we're trained
pest management professionals.
Who are about to pump this place
full of poison.
Look around. We have
valuable artifacts in here.
Plus, we have animals on the property.
I need more than just your word
that everything will be okay.
Knock, knock.
What seems to be the problem?
Rick, did these guys come through you?
Yeah, uh, Higgy asked me to help out
with Thomas's termite issues
that he's having, so I called my buddy.
Dennis Sterling.
Teuila.
You guys know each other?
We went to high school together.
Haven't seen each other
in what, 15 years?
Uh, give or take.
Okay, looks like you kids
have some catching up to do.
You still look the same, though.
Oh, stop.
Okay, go on.
What's the holdup?
I'm concerned about your chemicals.
You don't have to worry.
There's no residue,
and as long as we aerate
and do a clearance test,
this process is perfectly safe.
But to be careful,
these gentlemen will carefully remove
whatever items you want
and put them in the garage.
Guys, Teuila's in charge.
Nothing happens until she
gives the green light.
Mahalo, Dennis.
Wow. Well,
looks like my work here is done.
Um, you know,
since you guys have to clear
everything out of here,
I'm-a go ahead and take this.
Uh, you know, if Magnum asks,
just, uh, tell him
it's for the bajillion favors
that he owes me for. Mahalo.
I'm sorry to be so difficult.
You still haven't changed.
You still have that fire in you.
So, listen, I have
to head over to another job site,
but I will be back to
check on everything.
Sounds good.
Okay.
Okay, boys. Let's do this.
I've tried everything.
No one will listen.
No one will believe me.
At first I thought I was just
being followed, being watched.
But it's clear now that it's
much more serious than that.
Any answers?
Yeah, I just spoke
to the law firm that sent this.
They handled Larry's mother's
affairs after her death.
They hadn't heard from Larry
until last week
when he asked them
to send me this envelope
in the event of his death,
which apparently happened 12 hours ago.
It was a car accident.
Well, that's a little curious.
That's more than a little curious.
I mean, this guy's convinced
somebody's after him,
and then he ends up dead.
I mean, there's got to be
a connection there.
One thing I don't understand
is why Mr. Hayes hired you
to investigate his murder specifically.
- 'Cause I'm good.
- Debatable.
I'm leaving.
Seriously. I mean, I can understand
someone wanting to engage your services
if the only compensation
they could offer was...
I don't know, live poultry.
But it appears money was no object.
Surely Mr. Hayes could have
hired someone more reputable.
But he chose you. Why?
I don't know.
But he did, so I'm obliged
to look into this.
Magnum, you-you know
that twice as many people
die in car accidents as homicides.
I'm not saying
I'm not intrigued by all this,
but have you considered the possibility
that it is just a coincidence?
Like any good detective,
I don't believe in coincidences.
I still don't really know why I'm here.
My assistant said that you had
- information about my brother?
- Yes.
I know this may sound strange, Katrina,
but your brother hired me
to solve his murder.
I'm sorry.
Uh, this morning I received
a video he made for me.
He thought somebody was out to kill him.
Are you saying that what
happened wasn't an accident?
Well, we're not saying that,
but the timing of it is suspicious.
I can't believe this. I...
Last week Larry said
that he thought someone was watching him.
He wouldn't leave his apartment.
The only reason he left yesterday...
because he felt sick
and he needed to see the doctor.
I thought he was being paranoid.
That he was having delusions again.
What do you mean?
Larry was... schizophrenic.
If he was off his meds,
he would sometimes see things,
hear things.
You don't think that this time
it could've been for real?
Well, we won't know for sure
- until we look into this.
- You have to.
Please.
What if he was right all along
and I just didn't believe him?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
At this point, it's very likely
that it was just a car accident.
And if it wasn't?
Well, if it wasn't, then
we'll do what Larry hired us
to do in the first place.
We'll solve his murder.
Okay, according to the police report,
Larry lost control here
and then slid off into the ravine.
Does that furrowed brow
constitute a conflicting thought
or the need for a potty break?
I'm thinking maybe someone
forced him off the road.
Perhaps.
But it's a single lane
going in one direction,
so that would've been difficult.
And plus, there's only
one set of skid marks.
All signs point to it being an accident.
Not if somebody tampered with the car.
And how do you intend to find that out?
The police must have impounded
the car by now.
Really appreciate this, Mikey.
Car's in the back.
Only got an hour.
Does that buy you enough time?
Please. This'll take 30 minutes, tops.
Don't hold your breath
on Magnum reimbursing you
for that hundred, by the way.
What are you talking about?
He promised he was gonna pay me back.
When will you learn, man?
Thomas never has more
than 40 bucks to his name.
Welcome to the club, Shammy.
What club is that?
The Do Free Favors for
Thomas Magnum Club.
Working for me,
you get an honorary membership.
Yeah, lucky me.
I'm not worried about the money
'cause I know this client
paid him ten stacks
just to take the case, so he's
got no excuse not to pay up.
Hold up. $10,000?
Mm-hmm.
Thomas ain't mention that.
Yeah, probably 'cause
he knows you're gonna want him
to reimburse you for all the fuel costs
that have been stacking up,
helping him out with his cases.
That's what I'm thinking.
Damn. Is this it?
Yeah, that's the one.
You up, doctor.
I really thought I had a shot
at being prom king that year.
- Not with that beige tux, you didn't.
- Wait a minute now.
It was pale gold, and I only wore it
to match Kalea's dress.
Oh, look, there she is.
How's she doing?
Actually, we're divorced now.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
Well, it's pretty recent.
Still can't bring myself
to take this thing off.
Hey, do you remember
those parties I used to throw
when my parents were on the mainland?
How could I forget?
Well, I have moved back into that house
since they passed away,
and whenever I'm on the lanai,
I think about those days.
Yeah.
I had the biggest crush on you.
Oh, stop.
You loved all the ladies.
I'm embarrassed by the way I used to be.
Well, you certainly have changed a lot.
Thank you.
Listen, um,
you think you might want to...
uh, I don't know...
get together sometime?
Oh, no, I couldn't.
It-It's just, uh...
my husband was the love of my life.
I... I haven't even thought
about dating anyone
since he passed.
I understand.
Tell you what.
It's a... open invitation.
I would really just love to reconnect.
I mean that.
I'll think about it.
Well, I'd better get going.
- Um, thanks for the coffee.
- Okay.
- Listen, you can hang onto this.
- Oh.
And I will pick it up
- when I come back to get the tent.
- Okay.
Are you sure?
Dude, I ran a full
diagnostic on this thing.
It's clean.
Steering, brakes, tires, everything?
They all check out.
Nothing was tampered with.
Okay. Well, thanks for
checking it out for me, Shammy.
I appreciate it.
I'll talk to you guys later.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on, Thomas. One more thing.
Heard about your big payday.
Got me thinking.
Maybe it's time for you to finally
pay me back for all that free flying
I do for you any time you have a case.
You want to charge me for that?
It's $450 to fill up my tank.
Of course I want to charge you.
Yeah, but I thought you enjoyed it.
Why would you think that?
I don't know. Rick likes
helping me out with cases.
Uh, no, no, Rick doesn't, in fact.
Rick thinks that Thomas
is taking advantage
of their friendship.
All right, I hear you.
TC, send me a bill.
Check the mail, brah.
I mean, geez, you come
into a little money,
and suddenly everyone's
got their hand out.
I liked it better when I was broke.
"Rick enjoys it." Give me a break.
Right?
I'm out of here.
So, it appears
as if your client Mr. Hayes' demise
was indeed a tragic accident.
It wasn't a homicide.
Yeah, maybe.
You're still not convinced?
Not really. There's still
one thing I want to check out.
- Hola.
- Not a good time, Magnum.
She always says that.
And I always mean it, except
this time, I really mean it
because I have a double homicide on deck.
Look, this isn't gonna take long.
This is Dr. Noelani Cunha,
the best medical examiner on the island.
And this is Juliet Higgins,
- majordomo of Robin's Nest.
- Pleasure.
You're the one that has to deal
with this guy all the time?
- Sadly, yes.
- Ugh. That can't be easy.
Are you really having this
conversation in front of me?
- It's dreadful.
- You poor thing.
Okay, that's enough.
Look, I have a question.
Uh, what can you tell me
about Larry Hayes?
- What do you want to know?
- How'd he die?
Well, his car went off an incline,
so he suffered multiple
fractures, so chances are
blunt force trauma had something
to do with it.
Okay, well, that's obvious.
Dig a little deeper, though.
I-I'm thinking there may have
been foul play involved.
See, right about now is
where Magnum tries
to bribe me with food, except this time
I'm going to preemptively decline.
Okay.
H-How about a-a donation
to Home for Hawaii?
Whatever spare change you have
in your pocket won't be enough
to get me to do this favor.
How about a more sizable
donation? Say, uh...
75 bucks. It's pretty generous.
I was thinking more like
a thousand dollars.
Magnum's actually pretty
flush at the moment.
Magnum? That can't be true.
No, I can assure you
he's, he's quite liquid.
So, a thousand dollars?
Anything for charity.
Brilliant.
Okay. I'll look into it.
Keep your phone on.
Juliet, it was great meeting you.
- Girls' night sometime?
- I'd love to.
Great.
- She's great.
- You know, at this rate,
I'm not gonna have any
of Larry's money left over.
Not my problem. So what now?
I'm gonna go check out Larry's apartment.
You are welcome to stay here if you want.
And miss the opportunity of
seeing you arrested for B and E.
Not a chance.
That's not gonna happen.
Can I help you?
Yeah. Good afternoon, ma'am.
I'm Lieutenant Thomas Magnum with HPD.
This is my associate Juliet Higgins.
I need to talk to you about one
of your tenants... Larry Hayes.
Come in.
See? No B and E.
You do realize that
impersonating a police officer
is a much more serious crime?
It's not a real badge.
Yes. You have made that
moronic point before.
You're ruining the moment.
If you need anything else,
Lieutenant, just let me know.
Thank you, Caroline.
I'll be sure to tell the captain
how helpful you were. Hmm.
Wow. Looks like Larry was pretty
serious about home security.
Makes sense.
He thought someone wanted to kill him.
Discover something, Detective?
Lieutenant.
And, yeah, uh...
This receipt's dated from yesterday.
14 hours ago, to be exact.
Must've been Larry's last meal.
Yeah, not a bad choice either.
Been to that place. It's delicious.
Oh.
Roaches. How lovely.
You do realize Robin's
Nest is gonna be crawling
with these things if
you don't stop munching
in the living room. Just saying.
Yeah, yeah.
It looks like Larry was
staying up on his medication.
Magnum, look.
Lieutenant Magnum, what do
you think you're going to do now?
I... I don't know. I spent
most of my adult life, uh,
trying to help people
and trying to be of service.
I guess it's-it's part
of who I am, part of...
who we all are.
Uh, I think it'd be nice
to be able to find
some way to keep doing that,
to... help people in need
who... maybe have nobody to turn to.
Well, it seems like
Larry was an admirer of yours.
At least we know now
why he reached out to you.
Noelani, what do you got?
Hey, I found traces of aconitine
in Larry Hayes' system.
Even a small amount can cause
shortness of breath,
nausea, and then, finally,
cardiac arrest, which is exactly
what happened to Mr. Hayes.
He was dead before
his car went off the road.
You were right.
More like Larry was right.
It was murder.
No, none of this makes any sense.
My brother was a good person.
He was kind, and he was sweet.
That's why we're trying to help.
You know... I made a promise to my mother
before she died
that I would look after Larry.
I worked as hard as I could
just to support the both of us.
I thought I was helping him,
but maybe if I had focused less on work
and more on him,
I would have listened better.
You know, I wouldn't have
dismissed his fears as symptoms.
I-I... If I had just believed him,
I could have done something to stop.
Don't do this to yourself.
Someone is responsible for this,
but it's not you.
Excuse me.
Katsumoto. Uh, Katrina, this is
Detective Gordon Katsumoto.
I'm with HPD, ma'am.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
I need to ask you some questions, but
first I need a word
with Mr. Magnum and Ms. Higgins.
You know, just when I was starting
to think, "Maybe Magnum's
not such a bad guy,"
you go and keep me in the dark
about a homicide.
Instead, I have to find out from the M.E.
We were gonna tell you.
We just thought
Katrina should know first.
Look, Detective, I don't see any reason
why we can't all work together on this.
Oh, you don't? How about,
out of the three of us,
I'm the only one with a badge.
Now, you two want
to investigate a homicide
on this island? Great.
Graduate from the Academy,
spend five years in uniform,
pass the exam, and get your shields.
But until that day comes,
you need to back off.
The only reason there's
a homicide to investigate
- is because of me.
- Is because of you.
Yes. And the only reason you got
this far is by breaking the law.
Now, you're lucky
we're not charging you. Now go.
Look at it this way: you
proved your client was right,
and now HPD are going to investigate.
And let's face it... $10,000
for one day's work is not bad.
Maybe you could take some
of that cash and use it
to get a hotel room until
the house is fumigated.
That way you can eat in
bed as much as you like.
What?
- Uh, cockroaches.
- I'm sorry?
So, there's three ways
Larry could have been poisoned...
injection, skin contact,
or he could have ingested it.
Okay. And?
Well, Katrina said Larry was so
scared somebody was after him,
he wouldn't leave his apartment
for over a week. Right?
So, if somebody's stuck in their
home, how would you get to 'em?
Poison the food being delivered there.
Exactly. And what do
cockroaches go after?
Wh-What you said earlier
about the crumbs.
What if those dead cockroaches
in Larry's apartment ate
his leftover food
and that's why they died?
Certainly seems plausible.
We need to find whoever
delivered Larry his last meal.
Katsumoto told us to back off.
I'll back off when my client
tells me to back off.
Hey.
Oh, what are you doing back here?
Oh, Higgins asked me to come
check in on Dennis's crew
while she's helping out Thomas
with something.
- Oh.
- Hey, how crazy is it
you guys went to high school together?
I guess it's
a pretty small island, but...
You okay?
Dennis asked me out.
Really?
Wow, that's exciting.
- What?
- Nothing.
It's just...
I've been thinking about it, and...
I just don't think I'm ready for that.
Well, how long has it been?
Since my husband died?
Almost four years.
Uh, now, Kumu,
don't take this the wrong way,
but you're still pretty young.
Why would I take that the wrong way?
No, let me finish. I...
I'm saying you're still pretty young.
You got a lot of years left
on this earth.
You really want to spend
all that time being alone?
I mean, look, it's not like
the guy proposed or anything.
He just asked you on a date.
You should go, you know?
Let your hair down.
You deserve it.
Thank you so much. My associate and I
really appreciate it.
So, the delivery guy
didn't recognize
the photo of Larry that I sent.
He said he didn't give the food to Larry,
that he handed it to someone
who was waiting outside the building.
So Larry's killer
intercepts the delivery,
poisons it, and pretends to be
the delivery guy.
We have to go and get Larry's last meal
so the lab can test it.
Only got one pair of these,
so make sure you don't leave any prints.
I was a covert operative, Magnum.
You don't need to teach me
how to be invisible.
Hey!
- Go that way. Cut him off.
- Yeah!
Are you kidding me?
If that man already killed Larry,
why would he come back here?
Higgins,
there's a hole here,
behind where the fridge was.
It's empty.
Whatever was in here,
he must have gotten it out
just before we arrived.
So that's what all this was about, then?
Larry was murdered so
that the killer could get
into his apartment
and break through the wall?
Yeah, looks like it.
But why now?
Yeah, good afternoon, ma'am.
I'm Lieutenant Thomas Magnum with HPD.
Demolition notice posted
at the front of the building.
The building's about to be torn down.
That would explain the urgency
to get inside.
Stay right there. Don't move.
It's okay.
You can put 'em down.
I know these two.
The hell you doing here?
Larry's sister pays the rent
on this place.
Okay? We had permission.
What's with the hole in the wall?
That was already here when we got here.
According to the M.E.,
Mr. Hayes ingested the poison
before he got behind the wheel.
That makes this the primary crime scene.
You need to leave so we can get
CSU in here to process.
Okay.
No problem.
Katsumoto isn't gonna be pleased
when he finds out
you're keeping him in the dark again.
It's the only way we're
gonna stay on the case.
- What's the next move?
- Got to find out
who the tenants were
that lived there before Larry.
Maybe they can tell us
what was hidden inside the wall.
I don't think she appreciated
your little deception earlier.
Larry was someone I cared about,
and you lied to me!
And I'm sorry about that.
Look, the truth is,
I'm a private detective.
Larry hired me, and I just...
I need a list of people
who lived in his apartment
before he did.
Here.
Scooch.
Caroline,
I don't know what the police told you,
but Larry didn't perish
in a car accident.
He was murdered.
Now, I know that Magnum's ethics
can sometimes be...
questionable,
but you should know
that he never gives up on a client
and he will do whatever he feels he must
in order to solve a case.
Now, you don't have to forgive him.
But by helping him, you would be
getting justice for Larry.
Okay.
I'll get you that list.
May I help you?
Kalea Upolu?
It's Kalea Sterling now.
Do I know you?
It's, um, Teuila Tuileta,
from Kukui High.
Right!
Hi!
Oh, wow, it's been a long time.
Wh-What are you doing here?
Oh.
Uh, I just stopped by
because your husband,
Dennis, is, uh, fumigating where I work,
and I, I just wanted to tell him
everything is going well.
He was right.
I had nothing to worry about.
Good.
I'll be sure to tell him.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Uh, j-just give him the message.
Nice seeing you again.
You, too.
By the way,
you look great.
Uh...
We should start
by looking into previous tenants
with a criminal record.
Done.
There are two,
one of whom is deceased,
the other of whom
is currently in prison.
Randy Hamaka.
He was arrested two years ago
on an assault charge.
I heard of this guy. He used
to run all the criminal activity
on the Waianae Coast.
But if he's still in prison,
there's no way he's the same man we
ran into in Larry's apartment.
No. But he could know
what was in the wall
and who may be coming after it.
Sorry, can't help you.
Well, whatever was hidden in that wall
was worth killing over,
which tells me it was probably valuable.
If you say so.
When do you get out?
Two months, right?
Yeah. So?
So tell me what was in the wall,
and maybe I can help you get it back.
Look, Randy, I'm not a cop.
Okay? So I don't care
what was inside the wall.
Stolen goods or whatever.
I just want to find the guy who has it.
Well, you're gonna have
to do that without me.
'Cause, like I said,
I don't know what you're talking about.
And if I wanted to hide something,
I'm not sticking it in no kitchen wall.
Good talk.
So, is he in on it?
Up to his eyes. But he's playing dumb.
Well, actually, he's not playing dumb.
He's straight-up dumb,
because I said there was something hidden
in one of the walls.
I didn't tell him which room.
And, somehow, he knew
I was talking about the kitchen.
We have to find out
who Randy's been in contact with
on the outside.
He might have sent someone
to Larry's apartment.
Yeah, that's gonna mean accessing
prisoner phone records and visitor logs.
You think you can manage that?
Child's play.
Magnum.
Don't ask how, but we found a suspect.
Who?
An ex-con named Jayson Colfax.
He's an accomplished thief
who's recently been in contact
with a prisoner at Halawa
who used to live in Larry's apartment.
I'm sending you his photo now.
We'd seen Colfax poking around
Larry's apartment earlier.
Pinged his phone.
He's in Honolulu Harbor right now.
I'm thinking he might be trying
to get off the island.
Okay.
We'll meet you there.
But wait for us.
Of course.
Magnum.
Looks like he's in the mill.
Ow! Ow, you're hurting me.
Would you prefer a bullet?
My friend has 16 of them.
Well done.
Who are you guys?
Larry Hayes hired me.
You remember him, right?
The man you poisoned to death.
I didn't mean for that to happen.
I was just trying to get him sick enough
so he'd leave his apartment.
Did Randy Hamaka send you there?
Yeah.
Why? What was in the wall?
I got him. Go check it out.
Katsumoto?
No. Not Katsumoto.
Three men. All armed.
Your friends?
No. Randy must've sent them.
I got word to him about
everything that happened,
and I told him where I was
- so he'd help me off the island.
- Well, it looks
like he wants to silence you.
We'll get you out of here,
but you have to work with us.
Did you scope the ins and outs
of this place?
Yeah. There's only one,
and they're coming through it.
Then we'll have to cat
and mouse it out of here.
Got 'em!
Go, go.
TC.
What did Jayson say?
Randy told him to break open
the wall behind the fridge
and remove whatever was inside,
but when he did, he didn't find anything.
Are you saying this guy Larry
was murdered
for something that wasn't even there?
Looks that way.
Unless Jayson was looking
in the wrong place.
Yeah. Some of the apartments
got remodeled a few years ago
and things got moved around.
This is where the kitchen used to be,
and that's where the fridge was.
We ran ballistics on the
gun we found in your old place.
Got a match
to a pair of unsolved murders
from eight years ago.
Both gang-related hits.
But until now HPD hadn't found a weapon
or the person who pulled the trigger.
You knew they'd find the gun
in your old apartment
when they tore it down next month,
so you had Jayson Colfax go recover it.
Problem is, the man who
lived in the apartment wouldn't leave.
So Jayson had to get creative.
Tried to poison the guy just
enough to get him to leave.
Unfortunately for both of you,
he went too far.
You were so close
to getting out, Randy.
Now you're not going anywhere.
Enjoy your time in prison.
On any other day,
solving two murders would feel good.
Trouble is, for that to happen,
one man had to die.
All because some guy was dumb
enough to hide a gun in a wall.
I know it doesn't make it hurt any less,
but if it wasn't for Larry, the families
of those two victims
never would've got justice.
We hope that will give you
some small measure of solace.
It does. Thank you.
And thank you.
Both of you, for believing in Larry.
He's married.
He's married? Are you kidding me?
Men are such dogs.
Damn right. You know what?
When we're done here,
I'm gonna go over there
- and have a talk with that guy.
- I'm going with you.
Don't you dare, either of you.
You're not at least a little bit upset?
Maybe a little.
On the other hand... it felt good
to get all dolled up.
And it made me realize
that I need to put myself out there.
Maybe it's time.
Can't we just key his car, at least?
Please don't. Then I'll have
to cite you for vandalism.
Which reminds me,
you'll be getting a citation of your own
in the mail in the next day or so.
For what?
You can't go around
impersonating a cop, Lieutenant.
Found out about that, huh?
Oh, just be thankful
you're getting off with only a fine.
I'll also be needing
that phony badge of yours.
At least you still have
all that money from your case.
Uh, that's not entirely true.
How come?
'Cause you sure as hell
didn't give any to me.
Or me.
I felt bad for taking all that money.
I mean, my daily rate's only 550 bucks,
so I took what I needed,
and donated the rest
to Homes for Hawaii in Larry's name.
You mean after you put aside the money
that you promised to reimburse us.
Well...
I think that's a no.
It's not cool, Thomas.
What you want me to do? You want
me to get the money back?
'Cause I could get it back.
Nah, 'cause then we would be
the bad guys.
See, this is exactly
what we're talking about.
You always taking advantage.
Katsumoto, back me up here.
Yeah, he's right, Magnum.
I got to say, it's getting a little old.
Okay.
I'm not gonna ask anybody
for any more favors.
How long do you think that will last?
They do have a good point, Magnum.
You have a terrible habit
of exploiting your friends.
Although, to be fair, you do also possess
some admirable qualities.
I'm listening.
Case in point: I was skeptical at first,
but you always had faith in your client.
And were it not for your
pig-headed persistence
and sense of mission,
this case would never have been solved,
so you deserve a little credit.
Well, thank you, Juliet.
You're welcome.
Oh, and I wasn't gonna
pile it on just then,
but I do still expect you to repay me
for the repairs on the Ferrari.
I was really hoping
you'd forgot about that.
Sorry. No such luck.
