Magnum P.I. (2018): Season 1, Episode 19 - Blood in the Water - full transcript

One of the things...

well, maybe the only
thing that Juliet Higgins

and I have in common
is that we both work

for the most generous man
in Hawaii, Robin Masters.

So when he asked us
to pick up his new boat

named the T.R. Belle,
we were glad to do it.

I can't believe you don't know
what T.R. Belle stands for.

- Neither do you.
- Yeah, but you had it stenciled on the boat.

You had a-a week to figure it out.

I've had, like, one hour.

T.R. Belle.



Maybe T.R. is for...

tax return.

Teddy Roosevelt. Turkey robot.

Turkey robot. Yeah,
that's definitely it.

Who knows?

Maybe it's the name
of Robin's next book.

In the future,

an army of robotic turkeys
take over the world.

Magnum, you're not gonna figure it out.

I already tried.

Once again questioning
my investigative skills.

Is it really any wonder

with brilliant deductions
like turkey robot?

I found out you were MI6.



I'm still baffled by that.

When are you gonna tell
me how you worked that out?

When it stops driving you crazy.

Maybe Belle is from a long time ago.

We have to dig into Robin's past.

He's not Charles
Foster Kane. Who's that?

You've never heard of
Charles Foster Kane?

Don't act like I'm
supposed to know who it is.

It's not like it's
Tom Brady or something.

Who's Tom Brady?

Are you serious?

You don't know who Tom Brady is?

Oh, he's the Dad from
that American TV show,

uh, The Brady Bunch.

Are you kidding me?

- Mayday! Mayday!
- Geez.

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

This is the Naginata,
a 20-foot fishing vessel

with one soul on board.

My engine failed. Mayday! Mayday!

This is the T.R. Belle.
What's your location? Over.

Thank God. 85 kilometers
east of Port Kepuhi. Over.

That's less than 20 minutes away.

Roger that, Naginata. We're on our way.

There he is.

Oh, man, you are a lifesaver, literally.

All good, brother. Watch your step.

You got it.

Juliet Higgins. Welcome aboard.

Ah, thanks. Great yacht.

I think I'll take it.
Get back. Get back.

Stay right where you are. Get back.

Now, get off the boat.

No, I'm sorry, I, uh...

I won't be doing that.

Excuse me? What do you mean "no"?

Well, this isn't my vessel to surrender.

It belongs to my employer.

You see this? This means
I make the rules, not you.

You talking about that funny hat?

Kind of hot to be wearing
a beanie, isn't it?

You say another word and
I'll shoot you instead!

Another word.

Higgins!

Magnum, they're getting away.

I couldn't stop them and help you.

I'm fine, I'm just nicked in the arm.

That's not a nick.

The bullet could have hit your artery.

We need to dress that immediately.

Tighter.

- Is it the compression rotor?
- No.

The turbine?

It ain't the turbine.

The entire engine's shot.
We are grounded, bro.

No, no, no.

No! I need this bird in the air today.

You got a better chance of getting
my wheelchair airborne today.

Why don't you ask the shrimp
truck guy to borrow his chopper?

Look, I did. Kamekona's
is already booked.

Damn, Shammy,

how come you didn't catch this
in your maintenance report?

Because magically predicting random
breakdowns isn't part of my job.

Look, you're right, man. I'm sorry.

I'm just tense. My
pops is visiting today.

This is a big step for us.

First it's meeting your
dad, next thing you know

we'll be moving in together.

Moving very fast.

Shammy, how's our boy holding up?

He's nervous as hell.
What's the occasion?

I mean, Pops doesn't
get out here much is all.

All good between you two?

Oh, what, is this more
inner-circle friends type stuff?

Shammy... MC Sham!

You are in the inner circle, my brother.

It's just complicated.

Look, TC's dad was the man, all right.

He really stepped up
when his mom bounced.

Problem is, he couldn't
stick around for long

'cause he made a little mistake.

What kind of mistake?

Armed robbery.

Which he committed
with love in his heart.

Did he, now?

It was a misguided attempt
to make ends meet, okay?

He got out of prison right
before I went into the military.

Then he got a legit job on the mainland.

But I'm living out here now.

It's been a while since I've seen him.

You just want everything to be perfect.

Yeah. I wanted to take him on a tour.

Just show off a little.

But what's a helicopter
business without a helicopter?

TC, I know you want to show
him how well you're doing,

but I have a feeling he already knows.

I'm sure he just wants to see you.

Yeah, and that being said,

is this really what you were gonna wear?

What? This T-shirt is sharp.

"Sharp T-shirt" is an oxymoron.

You're an oxymoron.

It's not like I'm a businessman.

All right, you know what,

you're not a businessman,

you're a business, man.

You got to dress to impress, like me.

All right, I'll change.

But not like you.

I ain't wearing no silk shirt

unbuttoned to my navel.

It's not that low.

It's not that low.

I-I'm usually a sternum guy.
That's where I cut it off.

Sternum. TC, I never go
lower than the sternum.

We passed an atoll
before we got the SOS.

We can swim back there and wait it out.

That's hardly a plan.

Ships pass there all the time.

We wave 'em down, they
rescue us, piece of cake.

Piece of cake?! Need I remind you that

that atoll was on the other
side of the Molokai Channel?

That's-that's five
miles of swimming upwind

against unpredictable swells.

So, what, you'd rather wait it out here?

Well, a fishing boat
or-or whale watchers

could pass by here as well.

Yeah, could. Either way,
we're gonna have to wait,

and we'll do a lot better on dry land.

Land on the other side
of the Molokai Channel.

Which, if it catches us,

could push us out to sea for good.

Yeah, we either die
there or we die here.

I'd rather not be a sitting duck.

I'm sorry, but why is it
that death and death are

our only two options here?

In case you forgot, I'm
a Navy SEAL. I'm kind of

- in my element.
- In case you've forgotten,

I'm the one that's been shot.

I mean, this isn't about
whose turf we're on.

This is about... this
is about common sense.

Unbelievable. We're stuck
in the middle of the ocean,

and you want to pick a fight.

Me? From the moment
we met, it's as though

your sole purpose in life
has been to needle me.

I think your memory of when
we first met is a bit hazy.

No, it's crystal clear.

You were as arrogant then
as you're being right now.

Easy, easy. Easy, boys.

Easy. Easy, boys. Easy.

Zeus, Apollo, sit!

Zeus and Apollo?

It's more like Freddy and Jason.

Are they always like this?

They're only aggressive
when they have reason.

- Who are you?
- Uh, Thomas Magnum.

A friend of Robin's.

Right.

You're supposed to arrive tomorrow.

It didn't work out for me,
so I-I just popped in early.

How convenient.

How did you get onto the property?

Easy, I just hopped the gate.

Nobody answered the ringer.

So your first instinct
is simply to trespass.

How can I trespass? I'm a guest here.

Who are you again?

Juliet Higgins.

Oh, right, the, uh, major... dodo.

Majordomo.

Right.

What do you think a major-domo is?

It's, uh... like-like a maid.

Follow me.

Wow. This place

is the most insane place
I think I've ever seen

in my entire life.

This is crazy.

Where's the guesthouse?

This is the guesthouse.

This is the guesthouse?
Are you kidding me?

Are you serious?

Where, uh, are the
rest of your belongings?

Ah, that's it.

So, a short visit, then?

How long are you staying?
A few days? A week?

I don't know.

Robin kind of left it open-ended.

I think he wants me to
stay here for a while.

And what are you intending to
do while you're on the island?

I'm a private investigator.
Well, I will be.

I've just got to, you know,

build up my clientele.

Hmm.

So... you're unemployed.

Just until my first case, yeah.

I assume that you've already got your

private investigator's license, then?

Is that a thing?

Yes, that's very much a thing.

Uh, if you want to
work legally, of course.

Well, at least I have
something to do this afternoon.

You know, uh, I actually
don't have a car.

May I suggest a cab?

That's a good idea, but I'm...

kind of broke right now.

You mind...

maybe spotting me a little cash?

Thank you.

Trust me, I'm good for it.

You were a total mooch
from day one as well.

What?

I'm still good for it.

Come here.

Let me check your arm.

- You're seeping.
- Tourniquet?

No, we got to keep the arm mobile.

Ugh. I'm chumming the water.

In tiger shark territory, no less.

I'm-I'm really not happy about this.

Happy about being shot

or stuck in the middle of the ocean?

About admitting that, ah,
your plan is now our best bet.

Are you sure?

I know what I said before, but...

swimming across the Molokai
Channel's gonna be difficult.

We're upwind and swimming
against the current.

And you're still losing a lot of blood.

You're talking to the three-time captain

of the Cambridge Unified swim team.

Of course I am.

- So where are we heading?
- Well...

it's five miles due
south and probably a mile

to get to the channel.

You good?

Okay. Let's go.

Dude, you're wearing out
the soles of your shoes.

Yeah, seriously, you're
like a dad in a waiting room

whose wife's about to give birth.

Probably even a little suspicious

that the kid's even yours.

And second thoughts
about the marriage...

- Rick. We get it.
- What? Huh?

- We get it.
- Point is, you look anxious. Relax.

What is it?

Shammy, no need to rush
fixing the chopper today.

Not that I'm complaining, but why?

My dad's not coming.

What? Why?

He said something came up, and
he'll make it out here soon.

You okay?

Yeah. It's all good.

I mean, it's a bummer. But
honestly, I'm used to it.

I'm more annoyed that I had
to iron this shirt for nothing.

Yeah, ironing's a scam.

That's what I'm saying.
It's nothing that

seven minutes in a dryer
or outside a hot shower

can't fix.

I don't know, I think
you guys are just lazy.

Kumu, what's up?

Rick, have you heard
from Magnum or Higgins?

No, why?

They were supposed to be back

with Mr. Masters' new boat hours ago.

Both of their cell phones

are going directly to voice mail.

Ha, come on. You know Thomas.

He probably didn't put
enough gas in the tank.

Probably had to row that thing back.

I wish.

I called the people who sold the boat.

They said its AIS went off-line today

for the first time in years.

AIS?

Automatic Identification System.

It's the transponder on the boat.

Did the water-activated beacon go off?

- No.
- All right, so they didn't sink.

Somebody had to shut it off manually.

But who? Thomas and
Juliet wouldn't do that.

Listen, Kumu, there's
nothing to worry about yet.

I got a sailor buddy...

You mean smuggler.

Semantics.

He knows these waters
better than anybody.

- We'll see if he's heard anything.
- Okay.

I'll notify the Coast
Guard. Thanks, Rick.

Nothing to worry about yet?

We'll see. We got to
get down to the docks.

My buddy won't talk on a hard line.

All right, let's move.

We're at the edge of the channel.

You're tired and you're losing blood.

Any suggestions?

Yeah. Take your pants off.

I'm sorry?

The sling method.

Oh. Right.

Here.

Put it around your neck.

What is it?

Is everything okay?

Hold on, give me a second.

Okay, I'm bleeding out
into the ocean. Now really

isn't the time to be
keeping things to yourself.

But you always do this.

- When were you gonna tell me?
- Tell you what?

That Robin has hired you
as a security consultant

to do a detailed
analysis of the property?

Relax. It's just to
supplement my P.I. income.

Or lack thereof.

You didn't think that I
ought to know about this?

I wouldn't be a good security consultant

if I told you I was
assessing the security.

Wait.

Is that why you hopped over the fence

when you first got here, 'cause
you were trying to see how easy

it would be to break in?

Got to admit. It's pretty easy.

Easy?

Zeus and Apollo would have
torn you limb from limb

had I not stopped them.

And this is utterly preposterous.

You don't even know half of
the employees that work here.

Try me.

The groundskeepers. The window cleaner.

The delivery man. All here today.

Wait. We have groundskeepers?

I'm kidding.

Groundskeepers got here
at 7:55 a.m. minus Roberto,

he was a couple minutes late.

Uh, we had two deliveries at 11:15 a.m.,

three additional packages at 2:00 p.m.,

and the window cleaner thing,
that's a trick question,

because Jimmy doesn't come here today,

he comes here on Tuesdays.

Are you...

really that bothered

that I'm the security
consultant around here?

No. It bothers me that you
didn't think to tell me.

From here on out,

it doesn't matter what it is,

doesn't matter how bad it is...

I want to know the truth.

What are you doing?

I'm wave-piloting.

Wave-piloting?

Primitive form of
navigation based on the shape

and the direction of the waves.

It's kind of like a road
map, but in the water.

And what, pray tell, does the map say?

We need to move. Now.

- You good to go?
- Do I have a choice?

No.

Come on. Let's go, Higgins.

You okay?

Yeah, man, uh, just
worried about our boy.

You find anything out?

Yeah. You're not gonna like it.

He said there's been a string
of boat-jackings lately.

Two-men team taking
high-end boats like Robin's.

He said their M.O. is they send out

bogus SOS signals to
lure in their victims.

That could be what happened
to Thomas and Higgy.

That's what I'm thinking.

He gave me a name of a guy who's
got connections to the boat-jackers.

- Who?
- Kahi Kina. Goes by Double K.

- That's a terrible name.
- Agreed.

Apparently he deals in stolen rigs

while running a cover
business painting boats.

Which I bet he uses to
repaint the hot boats

to look unrecognizable.

Exactly.

Okay, so where does this
Double K dude hang out?

Hostess bar called the Swan Club.

You want to pay a visit?

Yeah. But you got to
show me how to get there.

- Don't act like I know where this place is.
- Uh-huh.

Huh.

So how are we gonna play this?

What do you mean?

If Magnum and Higgins got jacked,

and this Double K dude is in on it?

He might be a little jumpy
if two complete strangers

are suddenly dropping by to see him.

Yeah, good point.

Oh, huh.

Yo. Now's not the time.

Man, Clara runs this joint.

I'm just gonna have a
little chat with her,

one club manager to another.

Clara!

Rick. Good to see you.

Hey. Good to see you.

- This is my buddy TC.
- Hey, how you doing?

- Hi.
- Uh, listen,

we were hoping you could
introduce us to somebody.

There's someone on this
island you don't know?

- Who?
- Double K.

Why do you need to speak with him?

Just ask a few questions.

You can't just barge in here
and mess with my customers.

This is a legitimate place of business.

Come on, Clara. You and I both know

there's nothing legitimate
about this place.

Except those pork dumplings,

the ones you guys do with the
ponzu sauce? Those are legit.

Sorry, Rick. Can't help you out.

Look, a friend of mine
is in trouble, all right?

Just a few minutes and we're gone.

I'll tell him he has visitors.

If he's amenable, you
boys can chat outside.

Thank you.

Smuggler friend of yours...

how sure is he about this guy?

I mean, we can't go in too hot

if we don't even know he's involved.

Oh, he's involved.

Oh!

The hell you want?

Come on, man, take it easy.

I'm... I'm-I'm just the tow truck guy.

Tow truck guy.

Yes. Yes.

I'm just looking for the guy
whose car I'm about to tow.

That's why I asked the lady in there

to point you out. That's all, man.

You should be thanking me.

Oh, yeah?

What kind of car was it?

Oh. Uh, it's, it's a
beige... Kia Sorento, uh,

dark rims with some rust spots,

these little graduation tassels
hanging from the rearview mirror?

I don't think so.

Dude, you hitting him in the head

- could've got me shot in the face.
- Well, you getting

shot in the face could've
got you shot in the face.

Point taken. I digress. Thank you.

Yeah, you're welcome.

All right. Help me out with this guy.

He's not talking.

Then make him talk.

Thomas and Higgins are missing.

We're almost positive
this guy's in on it.

Almost positive isn't good enough.

And by the way, you can't
make a citizen's arrest

based on a hunch.

You guys are lucky it's
not you in that room.

You can't go around playing Magnum

just because your
friends are in trouble.

Oh, hold up. I thought
they were your friends, too.

- They are.
- Well, let me ask you something.

What do you think happens when
these guys jack these boats?

They thank the owners and
give 'em a ride back to shore

with a couple of piña coladas?

Look. I hear you, okay?
The Coast Guard is searching

their route as we speak.

And I'm putting all my
resources on the case.

But I've got nothing
to hold that guy on.

Then you're letting the only lead

in finding Thomas and Higgins
walk right out that door.

Here you go. Verify it's all there.

Then sign for it.

Yo.

They might be letting Double K go,

but they checked in all
his personal effects.

So?

Mahalo.

- Oh, right. Gotcha.
- Mm-hmm.

Gare-Bear!

What is shaking, my man?

Keeping it real, Rick Roll,
keeping it real. I know you are.

- How's the club?
- Oh, my goodness, wow.

Things got so wild the other night.

You would not believe the sheer amount

of beautiful women.

Rick, I really need
this. Tell me everything.

You know what?

- I'm-a do you one better, Garinator.
- Yeah?

Check this out. All right.

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Look at that.
- I know!

That's Katrina and
that's her sister Trina.

- They're twins.
- Oh...

Oh. I'm living vicariously
through your cell phone, brother.

- Guys, guys.
- Want me to text these to you?

Come on. Do better.

He's right. You should be ashamed.

We have to keep moving.

Look, I think we've
passed the worst of it.

Just one more mile.

You said one more mile...

- a dozen times already.
- Yeah.

But look. We're almost there.

We have to keep moving.

Higgins!

Higgins, you got this.

Okay? Seven times.

- Seven times.
- It's eight.

You even admitted it when
this whole thing started.

Oh, my God. What are you doing?

- Fixing the car.
- Oh, is that what you call it?

You shouldn't be anywhere near this car.

Firstly because it doesn't belong to you

and secondly because you are definitely

not a licensed mechanic specializing in

high-performance automobiles.

Well, I'm still waiting on
my first gig. And I figured,

instead of just sitting
around doing nothing,

try to help any way I can.

Well, if you want to be
a private investigator,

you shouldn't be waiting around.

You should be out there
seizing opportunities.

I feel like this is less about

your concern for my
career and more about

you getting me out of your hair.

And, you know, I've tried
to seize opportunity,

I just... I don't know...

there's only so much I can do.

Listen, it's like that old saying goes.

You fall down seven
times, you get up eight.

That doesn't even make sense.

- It makes perfect sense.
- No, it doesn't.

You fall down seven times,
you get up seven times.

It's eight times.

It's not even possible, you can only

get up as many times as you fall down.

If you start down, you can get
up more times than you fall.

Why would you start
down? Everybody starts up.

Then they fall down, then they
get back up. It's seven times.

- It's eight.
- What is your point?

My point is persistence.

If you want to be a
private investigator,

then you ought to approach
that task with the same

tenacity that you apparently
exhibited in the military.

Hawaii is an insular community.

It's an island.

And as far as I can understand it,

P.I. work is word-of-mouth.

So you need to be doing whatever you can

to get new clients; you
could get a police scanner

or go and hang around at the courthouse.

Be prepared to work for free.

You just need to go out

and do whatever it takes
to get that first job.

That is right after you
clean up this bloody mess.

Just because I said "what's the point"

doesn't mean I admitted I was wrong.

Yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night.

Let's go.

You can do this.

It's one more mile.

What are you guys doing?

Looking through Double K's phone.

Trying to find the boat-jackers.

They're the only ones who know where

- Thomas and Higgy were dumped.
- Yeah, look. Check it out.

It's got to be some of the stolen boats

- that Double K repainted.
- Yeah, but where is that?

Looks like every dock on the island.

- Hold up, hold up.
- Zooming in.

The Rooster 18.

Find out where that boat's registered...

And find the boat-jacker's dock.

You sure you took care of
the people on this boat?

Yeah.

- Pretty much.
- "Pretty much"?

We dumped them in shark-infested waters

and the girl was bleeding
out. What's your problem?

I was just questioned by the cops.

Turns out the guy was a Navy SEAL.

Means he's trained

in situations like getting dumped

in shark-infested waters
while bleeding out.

If he survives,

that makes him a loose end for you.

Which makes you two a loose end for me.

You hear what I'm saying?

There's an old military saying.

"Hope is not a course of action."

I knew this was a risky plan.

Me nearing exhaustion,

Higgins was on borrowed time,

so seeing this atoll is
a sight for sore eyes.

No risk, no reward.

Higgins?

Just a little bit more!

You okay?

Higgins!

Higgins!

Higgins.

Higgins...

stay with me.

Higgins.

Come on, girl. Wake up.

Come on.

Stay with me, girl.

Come on.

Come on, Higgins.

One, two.

Three. Come on.

Five, six.

All right, you're right, it is.

You fall down seven times,
but you get up eight.

I need you to do that for me right now.

Come on, Higgins.

Get up, damn it!

Get up eight, Higgins. Come on.

Get up, damn it!

There you go. There you go, girl.

There you go. Good job.

There you go. There you go.

Eight.

You admit it.

No. No, I said seven.

Oxygen deprivation does
strange things to the brain.

That's it. That's Robin's boat.

Where the hell are
they? Place is deserted.

- Except for the boat.
- Yeah, we don't need the boat.

We need to find Higgins and Thomas.

Hold up.

Thing's got navigation, right?

GPS, good thinking.

All right.

Their last coordinates
were 12 kilometers

off their route, that must've been where

that fake SOS signal came from.

That's rough water out there.

Molokai Channel's like
a damn washer on spin.

Yeah, and they've been
out there for hours.

I'll untie the ropes.

- Prepare... to feast.
- Let me guess. Seaweed.

Ah, come on. Seaweed?

No way, Opihi.

Yeah, plucked them right off the rocks.

- Mmm, these are incredible. Mmm.
- Right?

It's pretty crazy.

Feels like we're in
a... reality TV show.

Marooned on an island with a halfwit.

Oh, come on. Don't be
so hard on yourself.

Clearly I was referring to you.

I bring you this feast

- and that's the thanks I get, huh?
- Don't get me wrong.

These are amazing.

- But...
- But what?

You haven't even built a fire yet.

That's the only way we'll be found.

Trapped on an island...

with a tyrant.

Come on...

It's starting.

I think it's working. Don't stop.

Here it goes.

Yeah.

You still cold?

No, not at all.

In fact, I could use
some air conditioning.

What can I do?

How can I help?

Nothing.

Well, there is something, actually.

I would like to know how you
figured out that I was MI6.

I'm really good at what I do, Higgins.

Rubbish.

What was it that gave me away?

My-my posture, my exercise regimen?

- What?
- No, something

a little more subtle than that.

Something only an expert like myself

would be able to figure out.

Robin told me.

Doesn't change anything
about how you should perceive

my ability to do my job, okay?

I've solved a lot of cases since then.

With my help.

Yeah.

Actually, I won't argue that.

Whatever it is, make it quick.

I have a lot of work to do.

Something you know nothing about.

Not true. I got my first case.

- You did?
- Found a client at the courthouse.

Offered my services free of charge,

just to build the clientele.

- You took my advice.
- I may be broke for now,

but at least I'm officially
a private investigator.

Because you took my advice.

Yeah, this is definitely
gonna lead to bigger things.

Right, well, your lack of
gratitude notwithstanding,

I'm very glad that you'll
be out of the house.

Enjoy your case.

You're still here.

Yeah. About this first case,

uh...

I have a favor to ask.

Seeing as this case will
keep you away for longer,

I'm going to say yes,

to this one favor, this one time.

It kind of all started with you.

And thank you for...

all the times you helped me
out, thank you for letting me

drag you into dangerous situations.

You're welcome,

but let's be clear, I...
I've never let you drag me

into anything that I didn't
want to be involved in.

So you enjoyed helping me. Admit it.

It's a boat.

They must have seen the smoke.

Hey!

Hey!

Hold on.

That's them.

Them who?

The fishermen who stole our boat.

l'll be back.

Wait, I can help.

Resting up put a bit
of petrol in the tank.

But they only saw me.

I mean, for all they know,
you died in the water.

Why should we let them know otherwise?

All right, where'd he go?

Drop anchor. I'm gonna go check it out.

He's got to be around here somewhere.

Tony? Tony!

Tony!

Hey.

I thought I told you to stay back there.

You said it yourself.

You're utterly useless without my help.

I didn't exactly say that.

Close enough.

Great. There goes our ride.

Yeah.

That's them, all right.

Ahoy, mateys. You need a lift, do you?

It's about time!

Ever since your pops bailed on you,

I've been worried about you, man.

How you holding up?

I don't know.

I mean...

I mean, why'd he have to cancel?

What, what the hell did I ever do?

Nothing.

You didn't do anything.

You know,

there's no way to tell

what kind of demons
other people are fighting.

We can only fight our own.

And be there if and when he decides

to be a part of your life.

If that's something that you want.

Yeah.

In the meantime,

me and Thomas are
gonna be there for you.

Just like you're there for us.

Thanks, bro.

- Always.
- Cheers.

Higgins?

Higgy.

Permission to come aboard?

Granted.

- Talked to, uh, Robin.
- Oh?

He said he's coming to
check out the T.R. Belle

at the end of the week.

Oh, he's also glad you're not dead.

Good of him.

You know, I was thinking, maybe "Belle"

stands for "Annabelle" or
"Mirabelle" or something.

Really, Magnum? You reckon
I hadn't thought of that?

Eh, you just thought of
everything, haven't you?

Maybe Belle is his mom's name.

Sarah, actually.

Pet Schnauzer? Jingle Belle?

Mutt, named Herbert.

Higgins, is there anything
you haven't, I don't know,

thought of, mastered and crushed?

Outside of not knowing
the name of this boat?

Never you worry, Magnum,

there are plenty of things I'm crap at.

Swimming, for instance.

What are you talking about?
I thought you were captain

of the swim team three years in a row.

Did you lie to me?

Yeah.

I didn't want you to worry about me.

Well, I still did.

I have a confession to make.

- I knew you were lying.
- No, you didn't.

Yes, I did. Your form was terrible.

I was injured.

Yeah, so was I, having to
watch you swim, it was so bad.

You're lying. You just can't
stand the fact that I fooled you.

You can't stand the fact
that I wasn't fooled.

Look, I'm-I'm a private investigator.

It's what we do, we observe.

Oh, is that so? Okay,
then, well, close your eyes.

What's on the tray next to me?

I don't know.

- Wow, so observant.
- But if I had to guess,

I'd say your phone, upside down,

a bottle of sunscreen, SPF 45,

Robin's first novel, Queen's Gambit,

which you are two-thirds
through rereading,

judging by where the bookmark is.

Lucky guess.

Yeah. Lucky guess.

Oh, by the way, I
looked it up. It's eight.

I don't care if you
looked it up. It's seven.

You're just being stubborn now.

- It's eight.
- Seven.
