Magnum P.I. (2018): Season 5, Episode 10 - Charlie Foxtrot - full transcript

Previously on "Magnum PI"...

There's really no man
that had more of an impact

on my life than Greene.

He put the team together.

You're gonna give me their names

so we can hunt them
down and kill them.

Seven years ago, Greene sent
us into a terrorist stronghold

to take out a high-value
target named Ahmad Hadid.

It appears whoever killed Greene
wants revenge for that raid,

and he's willing to go to
great lengths to get it.

Guy calling the
shots' name is Swayzak.



He was hired to put
together the team.

These guys are
ex-military, all right?

Highly trained and
extremely dangerous.

All right? It'd be
better for everybody

if you just stepped
away from this one.

Magnum, they know.
The mercs ID'd you.

Island Hoppers.

Oh!

TC.

Hold on. Hold on.

TC. TC, come on.

TC, stay with me, buddy.

Come on, look here.
Look at me, TC!

Look at me, TC! Stay with me.



TC!

So, I just add the water, right?

Uh, yeah, with a splash of
cream and a teaspoon of sugar.

That's how my mum made it.

Have now
declared the death a homicide.

Little bit of sugar.

A spokesman for the
Honolulu Police Department

has confirmed that
nurse Lily Tanaka

has been arrested
and charged with...

I still don't understand
why you don't drink tea

like every other Brit.

Worked together.

Hey, I'm watching that.

Well, after everything
you've been through,

I just think you could
use a little break.

Right, fair enough.

You know, um, I was thinking
maybe we could stay in

and watch a movie,

perhaps an old
classic or something.

Now you're talking. So
what are you thinking?

Uh, "Die Hard," "The
Rock," "Pulp Fiction"?

Maybe something a little
bit more romantic?

Oh, "Rocky."

Okay, when I was little,
whenever I was ill,

my mum would make
me malted milk,

and we would watch "Arthur."

Dudley Moore made quite
an impression on me.

Dudley Moore, huh? Mm-hmm.

That is a guy that I have

absolutely nothing
in common with.

Oh, no, I'm... I'm aware.

He was very quick-witted,
effortlessly charming.

Hmm.

You at least have
your, uh, good looks.

Okay.

It's not as good
as I remember it.

On second thought, you
know what would be great?

Is a nice, mature Bordeaux.

Okay. All right.

I will head down
to the wine cellar.

You queue up
"Arthur." All right.

I'm really curious
to know what this...

This guy, old Dudley
Moore, has that I don't.

Well, get a pen and paper
so you can take notes.

You know what? I'm gonna
let that one slide,

but only because
you're recovering.

Be right back.

Tanaka will be arraigned
tomorrow morning.

A source inside the
prosecuting attorney's office

tells us that Tanaka had
been overmedicating a patient

in order to keep them
under her care...

and
that she killed Kahele

to prevent him
from exposing that.

A thorough investigation
into the hospital

is now expected.

Rick, hi. Sorry, um,
Magnum isn't here.

Higgins, TC's been shot.
They've taken him to Kings.

I'm on my way there now.

Oh, my God. Uh,
um, how bad is it?

I'm not sure.
Shammy was with him.

From what he described,

shooter sounded
like a hired gun.

Well, these are probably the
same guys who killed Greene.

They must've ID'd you three.

Exactly, which is why you need
to tell Thomas right away.

Yeah. These guys are smart.

They're not...

Great. No power.

Here we are. That's the one.

Aah!

Aah!

That's Paul Swayzak.

We ID'd him a while ago.

Apparently he put
together the team that...

That killed Greene
and came after us.

Well, actually, Rick called

to say that we
might be in danger.

Thomas, there's something
you have to know.

Hey, they just, uh,
rushed him into surgery.

Yeah, well, what's
his condition?

Did they tell you anything?

No, but based on the
blood loss, it looked bad.

Magnum, I'm sorry. I...

I saw the alert when the
cameras picked up the shooter.

I tried to get to TC as
fast as I could, but...

No, no, Shammy, stop.
It's not your fault.

The hitter who shot TC
wasn't working alone.

Listen, Higgins and I are
gonna meet you at the hospital,

but make sure Rick stays
put until we get there.

Wait, what are
you talking about?

Rick isn't here.

But that doesn't make
sense. W-When he called me,

he said that he was
heading straight there.

It can't have taken
him this long.

I tried calling him a few times.

It went straight to voicemail.

How is it he never even
made it to his car?

It's Rick's keys.

We're too late.

Here we go.

Okay, so Rick called you
at exactly 9:17 p.m.,

so if I queue up the security
video to that time...

Right there.

They got him. I-I
don't understand.

I mean, the men who
came after you and TC

were clearly shooting to kill.

Why did they take Rick alive?

The only thing I can think of

is when we raided
Hadid's compound,

Rick was the one who
took the kill shot.

So if this is about
avenging Hadid's murder,

then maybe they want
to take their time

with whoever pulled the trigger.

Seriously? I almost
just shot you.

Gordon, what are you doing here?

Well, I heard about what
happened to you guys and TC.

Just wanted to make
sure you were safe.

And when I couldn't get in
touch, I started looking around.

Yeah, we had to dump our phones
in case we're being tracked.

Wait, so you haven't heard
about Detective Childs?

What about Childs?

He was looking into the
guys who came after you.

Tracked down a safe
house they'd been using.

It was rigged with a trip wire.

Went up with Childs inside.

I told him to stay out of it.

But he insisted.

Ah, I should've
pushed back more.

It's not your fault, Thomas.

I'm the one who
gave him that lead.

Well, now you can be the one who
helps us track down his killer.

All right? Now I need to
know everything you know.

But we're in the dark
about who's behind this.

I mean, whoever they are,

they're racking up
quite the body count.

So far they've taken
out Nadine Amherst,

her boss at the
CIA, Captain Greene,

and now Detective Childs.

Sorry, Nadine who?
Nadine Amherst.

She's the CIA expert
on Ahmad Hadid.

Couple of months ago, she
died in a plane crash,

but now it looks like
that was cover for a hit.

Well, if these people
can stage a plane crash,

I guess it was just
a matter of time

before they uncovered
your identities.

Yeah, but we're still unclear as
to how they actually did that.

It doesn't really matter
unless it helps us find Rick.

Right. Wait, hold on.

I just saw Rick's car outside.

I assumed he was here with you.

Afraid not.

He was on his way
to the hospital.

They grabbed him
in the parking lot

before he could get to his car.

The car that he was loaded
into didn't have plates.

It's a black Chevy Impala.

We'll get a BOLO out. Okay.

In the meantime, Swayzak's
probably been processed by now,

and at the moment, he's
probably our best chance

at finding out who
has Rick. Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, look, as soon
as you have an update,

you let me know, okay?

All right.

Okay, Magnum says HPD is on it.

They're doing everything
they can to find him.

He was just over this
morning, dropping off Joy.

Everything was fine,
and now he's missing

and TC's been shot?

If there's one thing I know
about Rick, he's a survivor.

If anyone can pull through
something like this, it's him.

Okay? Okay.

♪ But I gotta keep on trying ♪

All right,
I unlocked his phone,

and it looks like Swayzak was
in regular contact with someone,

but the number appears to run
on a voice-over IP service.

Wait, so it can't be
traced? Not easily.

If we can keep the caller
on the line long enough,

I can backtrace the signal
through the anonymizing service

to get the owner's IP
address and location.

Care to do the honors?

Yeah.

Where are you?

Is it done?

She's gonna hang up.

I've already traced the call
through five anonymous servers.

Swayzak, are you there?

How many more are there?

I don't know. I
just need more time.

Swayzak?

She's not gonna
be on much longer.

Swayzak.

Well, whoever we just spoke to,
that should put her on notice.

I have an idea.

We can run voice-print
analysis on the recording.

If there are any voice samples
in any of the databases,

we should get a hit.

Where are you? Swayzak?

Where are you? Where are you?

Where are you? Where are you?

You gotta be kidding me.

Well, either we were
just talking to a ghost,

or Nadine Amherst is
still very much alive.

So she faked her own death.
Why would she do that?

Because she wanted us to
think that she was the victim

when, actually, all along, she
was behind this whole thing.

Exactly. The only
question now is, why?

HPD air support, this is
Mike Five Five Six Mike Hotel

providing search assistance.

I just finished
a flyover of H-2.

No sighting of our
suspect vehicle.

Moving on to
Pupukea now. Over.

All right, thanks.

Yeah, still no sign of the car.

Well, the department
put all available

resources on the search.

We also sent units over
to the registered owner

of that make and model.

In the meantime,
your CIA contact

just e-mailed over those files.

What'd you learn?
Well, for starters,

a CIA black site in Munich
was breached three days ago.

Two agents were
killed in the process,

but it looks like
that's how they finally

uncovered your identities.

They also sent over everything
that their agency had

on Nadine Amherst,

including a list of every
asset she cultivated,

and guess whose name
is on that list.

Ahmad Hadid. Exactly.

So she wasn't just a
specialist on Hadid.

She was also his handler.

Yeah, correct.

It seems that back in the
day, the CIA wanted to try

to develop a
relationship with Hadid.

Look. Here's an interview
that she conducted

with Hadid early on
in his recruitment.

Let's go back to 2001.

You said that
after the invasion,

there was a deep rift
within the organization.

How did you consolidate power?

By understanding
the people,

what they'll fight for,
lay their lives down for.

My opponents spoke from here.

I spoke from here.

So you're good at
manipulating your followers.

Getting them to
do what you want.

No.

They already have these
passions inside them.

I just know how to
bring it to the surface.

Hang on.

Is it just me, or are you guys

detecting a vibe
between these two?

It's not just you.
I've seen perps

try to charm their
interviewers like that before.

Yeah, and going off
her body language,

it looks like it was working.

I mean, you don't think...

Yeah, it would hardly
be the first romance

between a handler and an asset.

It would explain why Nadine
wants to avenge Hadid's death.

Indeed. I mean, first
they have her cultivate

Hadid as an asset, then
the political winds change,

and they order him killed.

I mean, if she had
fallen for him,

that would definitely
send her off the deep end.

Yeah, but we took out
Hadid over seven years ago.

Why wait until now to
do something about it?

Come on, come on, come on.

Suzy, Joy...

Um, it looks like

I've gotten myself into a
bit of a situation here.

And, well, if
you're seeing this,

I guess it means things
didn't really go my way.

I've got trail
mix, a granola bar,

and an orange soda.

Thanks, but I'm
not really hungry.

You wanna talk about it?

Talk about what?

It's been over nine hours
since he went into surgery,

and they still
haven't said anything.

I'm not talking about TC.
I'm talking about you.

How are youdoing?

I-I just...

No one else has been there
for me the way he has,

and now...

I know. Sweetie, I know.

Air support, this is Mike
Five Five Six Mike Hotel.

I'm heading back
to refuel. Over.

Copy that.

Air support, Mike Five
Five Six Mike Hotel again.

I-I've just spotted
our suspect vehicle.

Repeat... I've got eyes
on our suspect vehicle!

Over here.

They got a scent!

Well, that's interesting.

What is it? Nadine
Amherst has a child,

a son born in 2015.

That's, what, a year after
she started cultivating Hadid?

Well, based on the timeline,
that couldbe Hadid's son.

Yeah, if we're right about
them mingling romantically,

that seems so.

I'm gonna see if I can find
any photos of the child online

that might confirm our hunch.

What do you got?

It's an obituary.

Look... Michael Amherst.

He died last April of MERS.

That is a respiratory illness

that's common in
Middle Eastern men.

Well, he looks a hell
of a lot like Hadid.

I mean, that's gotta be his son.

Right. I mean,
that would explain

why Nadine didn't seek
revenge immediately.

She had a son to care for.

Right, and when the kid died,

it must've pushed
her over the edge.

Suddenly she didn't
have much to live for.

And nothing to lose.

Yeah, we're coming up on
the pin that Shammy sent us.

It's straight ahead.

Hope you know we're
joining the search.

Wouldn't expect any less.

Good to see you, sir.

All right, listen up.

Our subject's name is
Orville Wright, goes by Rick.

He's on foot, possibly injured.

Now, taking into account

the approximate time
of the car wreck,

we're looking at a search radius
of roughly 10 to 20 miles.

It's also likely that we are not
the only ones looking for him,

so stay sharp and stay safe.

And remember,

these are the same people
that killed Detective Childs.

They are armed and dangerous.

So if you see them,
shoot to kill.

Let's go find him.

He's out of surgery and stable.

Oh, thank God.

So he's gonna be okay?

We've managed to extract
all of the bullet fragments.

But Mr. Calvin has
a lacerated spleen,

fractured ribs, and
extensive tissue damage.

The road to recovery will
be long and challenging.

That said, he's made it
through the worst of it,

so there is reason
for cautious optimism.

That's good news, okay?

Can we see him?

We still have a bunch
of tests to run,

but as soon as he
can take visitors,

we'll let you know, okay?

Thank you, Doctor.

Hey, how you
feeling, Mr. Calvin?

Like
I've been shot.

I suppose that's to be expected.

My friends, Thomas Magnum
and Orville Wright...

They could've been
targeted, too.

I need to find out
if they're okay.

I'll try to find someone who
can get you that information.

Right now, I need to
examine you, okay?

All right.

Lift your arms for me.

Push against my hand.

Good. All right.

Now, take my hand,
try to squeeze.

Can you feel that?

No. I can't feel anything.

My legs.

I can't move them.

Try not to panic.

Now, there's likely swelling
around the spinal cord.

But with the right treatment
and physical therapy,

there's a good chance
you'll regain mobility.

Good chance?

Are you saying I might
not ever walk again?

I realize this is
a lot to take in,

but let's not get ahead
of ourselves, okay?

Hey, what are you thinking?

That he would've sought
the densest cover

to avoid being seen, so we
should keep this heading.

No. I mean...

you're clearly agonizing
over something.

You should just tell me.

Ah.

You were right.

I should've taken the
threat more serious.

I should've done more
to protect Rick and TC.

Thomas, they're grown adults.

They can look after themselves.

And... And in fact, they did.

TC upped his security.
Even Rick took precautions.

Yeah, well, the
irony's not lost on me.

What irony?

I did next to nothing
to protect myself,

and I might be the only one
that makes it through this okay.

But, Thomas, it's
not your fault.

It's not about that.
It's not about blame.

So what is it about?

Back in Afghanistan,
after we were captured,

there was no good
reason to think

we'd make it out of there alive.

The only thing we had going
for us was each other.

If somebody got low, the rest
of us would pick him up, right?

Because individually,

there's no way any of us
would've survived that,

but as a group, it felt like
there was no way we wouldn't.

Now, you form a bond when you
go through something like that,

a bond you assume
can never be broken.

That bond survived Nuzo dying.

But if Rick or TC don't
make it through this,

I-I just...

I don't know what's left of it.

Well, when you put it like that,

yeah, I-I understand completely.

You have to have faith.

Thomas?

You hear that?

If he heard this stream,
he would've come this way

and then walked
through the water

to avoid leaving footprints.

Agreed. Upstream
or downstream?

I mean, it's gotta be upstream.

Right? He was a
Marine Scout Sniper.

Finding the high ground
comes as second nature.

Hey, you up for some visitors?

Of course.

Oh!

Oh, thank God you're okay.

I don't think I've ever been
more worried in my life.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

Really, dude?

Kumu just tried to get
to second base with me.

The least you could
do is dap me up.

Sorry.

It's just a lot to
take in, you know?

I do.

I still got a lot
of recovering to do.

It's gonna take all I got.

I need you to be
strong for me, too.

Think you can do that?

Yeah. Of course.

Do you really have to ask?

Good.

Now, there's something
I gotta tell you guys.

Footprints.

It's up this way.

Looks like the trail ends here.

Somebody dropped a phone.

It's... It's Rick's.

There's two sets of ATV tracks.

Look at here.

That's blood.

Rick tried to fend them
off, but they grabbed him.

I'm gonna try and radio Gordie,
tell them to look out for ATVs.

Suzy, Joy...

Um, it looks like

I got myself into a bit
of a situation here.

And if you're seeing this,

well, it means things...

well, they didn't go my way.

But whatever happens,

I just need you both to know
how important you are to me.

Um, Joy, uh,

I've only been your daddy
now for a couple months,

and, um...

you are the greatest
accomplishment of my life.

Though I suppose your
mom is part of the reason

you turned out as
awesome as you did.

And, Suzy...

I love you.

I-I'm in love with you, and...

And I-I'm pretty sure
I've been in love with you

since the moment I met you.

My only regret is that

I didn't get a chance
to tell you in person.

Thomas?

Yeah, yeah. What
did Gordie say?

He said that no one's
seen any ATVs as of yet.

But we can't lose hope.

We still have
Swayzak in custody,

and he's our best bet
at getting to Nadine.

Come on, let's go.

Nadine sent me.

There's a white SUV
parked 100 yards back.

Keys are under the visor.

Take it and go.

You know who I am?

Nadine Amherst.

I gotta say, you're a lot
less dead than I expected.

And you're even more
resilient than I expected.

So you fake your own death

and you start going
after the people

that are responsible
for killing Hadid?

What was he to you?

So many things,

including the father
of my son, Michael.

That boy was always so
curious about his father.

Wanted to know
everything about the man.

But there was one question I
could never answer for him.

I read the action report.

I know you're the one
that pulled the trigger.

But we both know that
those reports are, uh,

light on the details.

You want to know how he died.

That's why I'm still alive.

Who better to answer that than
the man that took his life?

So, how'd it happen?

Well, I can't say
he didn't suffer.

But he did go out fighting.

Is that so?

That's what you
want to hear, right?

He died a hero?

What I want to
hear is the truth.

Okay, then.

This is team leader.

We just breached the main gate,
heading to primary set point.

Heads up.
Uknowns gathering.

Southwest corner.

Light 'em up.

They have a gun!

Charlie zero
five, proceed to primary.

We'll hold position.

Copy.

Charlie zero five
proceeding to primary.

All stations, target secure.

I don't know what you've
told yourself to justify

getting into bed
with a terrorist.

Maybe you thought he was
doing it for his people.

But what kind of a man
uses an innocent woman

as a human shield?

You're lying.

If you say so.

I mean, you spent your entire
career interrogating people.

If anybody can sniff out
a lie, it should be you.

I guess there's only
one way to find out.

Where to begin?

What's going on?

A vehicle just pulled
up. We may need to move.

Swayzak? Thanks
for springing me.

What the hell are
you doing here?

They let you escape so
they could follow you here.

We need to get out of here!

HPD!

Get on your knees! Now!

Get on your knees!

Been looking for you.

Excuse me, Doc, is this
man giving you trouble?

No. In fact, I'm
just about done here.

I'll go see about
getting you discharged.

Where's Suzy?

She went home to
relieve the sitter,

check on the baby.

Well, uh, when you're done here,

I can give you a ride back.

No, thanks, man, but
I-I'm gonna go see TC

after I get discharged.

Well, you're gonna have company.

I was thinking of
doing the same thing.

Oh, good, good.

Hey.

By the way, um...

Thanks for saving my ass.

Any time, any place.

I appreciate it.

But, hey, if it's okay with you,

I-I'd like to not
make it a habit...

if that's okay.

I was thinking the same thing.

Oh, uh...

Almost forgot.

I think this is yours.

Thanks.

Yeah.

I'll see you up there.

Hey.

I figured I'd better
get a decent meal in him

before he starts to waste away.

Good thinking.

Can I get you something?

I'll have what he's having,
minus the animal flesh.

Veggie burger coming up.

Thank you.

So, you're probably pretty
tired of hearing this question,

but, um, how are you doing?

Okay, I guess.
Kumu's been awesome.

She even offered to let me stay
with her until TC can come home.

Well, that's great.

Staying with Kumu
will be really fun.

If you can keep up
with her, that is.

Everything is gonna
be okay, you know?

People have been telling
me that my whole life.

But in my experience,
that's not always true.

Sometimes people leave
and they never come back.

Sometimes they get hurt
and they never get better.

Sometimes things
don'tturn out okay,

no matter how much you hope
and you pray that they might.

I can't blame you for
feeling like that.

But in this case, you're wrong.

Everything is going to be okay.

How can you be so sure?

Because I know these people.

And you yourself know
how resilient TC is.

He has two friends...

♪ Take the fire and the flames ♪

who have been to hell
and back with him.

♪ I'm much more
peaceful nowadays ♪

Friends who are just
as strong as he is.

And together, there is nothing
that they can't get through.

♪ I can still say that I
miss you but not how you ♪
