Magnum, P.I. (1980–1988): Season 8, Episode 13 - Resolutions: Part II - full transcript

HIGGINS: l th?nk
you should cons?der
that ?f you leave l?ke th?s,

you'll never know the truth
of who Rob?n Masters ?s.

lf you would indulge me
in one more story,

l think perhaps
you would find this useful.

(SIRENS BLARING)

''After five days,
the medical unit
had given up hope,

''and a runner was sent
for Father Kirkpatrick.

''The runner had
only been gone
a scant 10 minutes

''when the most
miraculous event occurred.

''Private Channing,
whom everyone had
given up for dead,

''opened his eyes,
Iooked around



''and asked
for a pint of Stout.''

(SIRENS BLARING)

Thank you, Lieutenant.
Glad to help out.

Let me know
if there's a change
in his condition.

Yes. Thanks.

Mrs. Magnum?

lt's Peterson.

Yes, of course. l'm sorry.

l'm Father Timothy.
l'll take you to your son.

Thank you.

Katherine.

You must be Jonathan.
l...

l know.

Tom.



Naturally, l have no way
of knowing for certain,

but l believe
he can hear us.

l can't believe how long
it takes to get from my part
of the world to yours.

You'd think someone
would have figured out
a faster way by now.

No wonder
you never come home.

(SIGHS)

Wouldn't you know,

l was leaving
for the airport

and Frank had
a terrible asthma attack.

They seem to be
getting worse every year.

He was really
incapacitated.

Oh, why am l
telling you all of this?

The last thing
you want to hear about is
your stepfather's problems.

Anyway, he's fine.
He's gonna be just fine.

Oh, Thomas,

this better not be
one of your
stupid practical jokes,

''A woman in Holland was
in a coma for eight weeks.

''They had completely lost hope
when one day her nurse came in

''and found her up, dressed
and ready to go home.''

Carol.

She said that she had been
abducted by alien beings

and taken to
another planet.

Right.

Okay, don't believe me,

but her doctors couldn't find
one thing wrong with her.

Except that sometimes
she speaks in
this foreign tongue,

and nobody's
been able to place it.

l suppose there is
a remote possibility.

Stop it!
Just stop it!

What do you read
this kind of garbage for,
anyway?

Rick.

(SIGHS)

Maybe l was iust looking
for a little hope.

Well, there's no hope.

He's gonna die,
and all of you better get it
through your head.

You're just sitting
around here
kidding yourselves.

RICK: l don't know
what the hell good
it's gonna do, anyway.

l'll go talk to him.

l don't know
what we haven't thought of.

There's gotta be
something we can do.

The doctors are doing
everything humanly possible.

There's nothing else
we can do.

Unless...

Unless we've overlooked
the obvious.

Thomas, l've always tried
real hard never to
tell you what to do.

But if you want
my opinion,

you ought to wake up
and get out of this place.

You've been here
Iong enough.

lt's time to go home.

Magnum!

HIGGINS: l demand
you come back
?mmed?ately!

Magnum!

(HEART MONITOR FLAT LINING)

My God, what have l done?

(WHISTLING)

Time has little to do
with infinity
and jelly donuts.

MAGNUM:
With this ring l thee wed.

(WHISTLING)

(GUN FIRES)

(WHISTLING CONTINUES)

(WHISTLING STOPS)

MAC: If you're not dead,
how come nobody can
see you or hear you?

lf l am dead,
how come l don't
feel like it?

How come l feel
like staying
and fighting this?

lt's all a part
of the process.

No. There's something else.

(GUN FIRES)

MAC: Hey, you can't
just walk away from th?s.

lt's all part
of the process.

MAGNUM: No.
There's something else.

Hit the brakes!

MAGNUM: No.
There's someth?ng else.

(HEART MONITOR FLAT LINING)

lNTERN 1: He's not respond?ng.

lNTERN 2: That's ?t.
You can turn off
the equ?pment.

(MONITOR TURNS OFF)

l'm sorry.
We did everything
we could.

Record the time of death.

11:05.

(GRUNTS)

(EXHALES)

A pint of Stout.

l'd like a pint of Stout.

(MOANING)

What took you
so long, sport?

lBOLD: It happens
w?th stroke pat?ents.

The loss of motor sk?lls
and the loss of memory.

But all of the tests that
the doctors have run on him
have come back negative.

l can't give you
any medical reason
for the fact

that he hasn't spoken
since he asked
for that pint of Stout.

l thought transferring
him to a VA hospital
might jar something.

But it's been two weeks.

HIGGINS: Well, he's been
through a severe trauma.

Not only the shooting,
but the coma.

Perhaps it's still
a residual shock effect.

ls it possible he simply
doesn't remember how?

His physical condition is
improving dramatically.

l've never seen
such a rapid recovery.

HIGGINS: The body, at least,
wants to mend.

(PAGER BEEPING)

They've rescheduled
Mrs. Hutchinson's surgery.
Excuse me.

Thank you for taking
time out to go over
the doctors' reports with us.

Anything l can do...

l think we should reconsider
telling him what happened.

l mean about Michelle.

Michelle
and the little girl
are gone.

HIGGINS: They're safe.

All of h?s doctors agree
?t would be very r?sky to
g?ve h?m that ?nformat?on.

He may not be able to
handle so great a loss
at th?s po?nt ?n t?me.

Yo, heads up!

Hey, what the hell
do you think you're doing?

Playing basketball.
Sorry to startle you.

Hey, l've been
seeing you around.
My name is Nick.

When you feel up to it,
why don't you wander on down

to the physical therapy
department?

l got some
new equipment in.
We could try it out.

RICK: We'll let
you know, okay?

Sometimes you get
the body moving,

it kind of shakes loose
everything else that's
Iocked up inside.

Hey, pal,
there ain't nothing
Iocked up, all right?

You want your friend
to talk again,

don't go around
pretending like
there's no problem.

MAN: Hey, come on, Coach!

NICK: l'll see you.
All right, play ball!

Yo, come on,
set it up, set it up,
come on!

Follow through,
come on underneath!

Abromowitz!
Oh, you're making
me crazy, man!

Back up, set up, set up.

KATHERINE: Tom.

Tom, we're back.

Did you miss me?

Well, of course you did.
Why did l even ask?

Wanna go for a walk?

MAC: You're mak?ng
th?ngs very d?ff?cult.
MAGNUM: l don't care.

Well, you just have
a certain amount of time
to do this, you know.

MAGNUM: Just g?ve me
enough t?me to get through
to somebody, that's all.

How much time do you need?

Time has little to do
with infinity
and jelly donuts.

Let's go take that walk.

HIGGINS: What did he say?

lnfinity and
jelly donuts, pal.

He probably didn't have
anything to say, that's all.

He's gonna be all right.
Yes.

l talked with Billy
on the phone this morning.

He's got this idea

that you're going to coach
his little league team
this year.

Well, Frank...
He offered to help out,

but with his
asthma attacks, l...

Well, l don't think
it's possible.

l can't go home, Mom.

Just for a little while.

l can't. Well, not yet.

There's something.

Thomas!

What is it?

l'm not sure.
There's something
l have to do,

but l just can't quite...

Tom, l can understand
you're having
strange kinds of,

l don't know,
premonitions, feelings.

Whatever they are,
l'm sure it's
perfectly natural.

No, it's...
After what you've
been through.

(STAMMERING)
No, it's more than that, Mom.

lt isn't more than that.

Okay.

All right.

l know this is gonna
sound strange.

(SIGHS) But if you
could just try to...

Okay, l was here

when l was gone.

No. l know
l was in the hospital room,
in ICU, in that bed,

but l was also here.

Tom.

Kind of around.

No, l really was.

Ask the dogs.
They saw me.

All right, l know
you can't ask the dogs.

They couldn't tell you.
But they would if they could.

Now the point is,

l was here,

and l remember some of it

and that's why

l know
there's something
l have to do.

But l...

l can't remember
everything.

l just get
the feeling that Michelle
is somehow in danger,

and l need to help her.

Tom, Michelle...
Hey, Thomas!

Boy, l'm glad l caught you.
l got all the way to the car.

l realized l forgot
to give you this.

Al Kaline, his rookie year.

l bumped into
a friend of mine
this morning

who was kind of
down and out on his luck.

He wanted to sell it,
so l bought it, figuring
that you'd like to have it.

You were here all morning.

Oh, l almost forgot
to tell you.

There's a message
at the nurses' station.

Something about Frank
being a lot better since
his attack this morning.

Thank you.

Thomas,

look at the back.
The stats and everything.

l mean,
it's in mint condition.

lt's very rare
for a card that old.

Thanks, Rick.

Oh, by the way,
you're welcome.

For what?

For the birth certificate
and the documents
that got you out of jail.

Oh, l never got a chance
to thank you.
Yes, you did.

You were there
and you were here.

Right. l guess
that's the best way
to put it.

At the same time?

Right.

You don't believe me.

No, l wouldn't say
exactly that l don't
believe you. l just...

All right. All right.
You

and T.C. and Agatha
and Higgins and...

Stop that.
And Tanaka and Ibold

were all at the estate,
talking about me,

as if l was already dead,
by the way, which l didn't
especially appreciate...

We were in shock.
Aha!

''Aha'' what?
Aha, admit it.

l mean, admit that
l was right about you
all being there.

Well, of course
we were all there.

And how could
l have known that
if l wasn't there?

Because Higgins
told you, Thomas.

When you were
in your coma
he told you everything.

Are you saying that
l heard all of that
from the hospital?

And then you imagined it.

You have a very
vivid imagination.

Listen, Thomas,

l'm iust happy
that you're alive,

and whatever happened or
whatever you think happened,

it's all over
and done with anyway.

Something happened.

l'm talking about
the shooting.
Something happened.

Something you don't
wanna tell me about.

Oh, Thomas...
What is it?

Hey, Thomas, l'm gonna
put an end to that theory
of yours once and for all.

(WHISTLES)

Come on.

Hey, Magnum,
great to see you!

Mac?

No. Jim Boning.
He just looks like Mac.

This is Jim Boning?
Yeah.

How you doing?
The guy that Thomas thinks
Iooks like MacReynolds?

Yeah. You see,
you must've had
dealings with Mac.

l mean, with Jim
and when you went
into the coma...

l don't think
he looks like Mac.

What are you talking about?
He looks exactly like Mac,
except for the mustache.

Anyway, when you went
into the coma,

you thought you were having
a conversation with Mac,

but you couldn't have been
because Mac is dead.

No, it isn't iust
the mustache,

it's the eyes and the hair
and the smile.

Look, l was kind of in
the middle of a very important
business meeting, so...

RICK: Yeah,
jacks are better
to open.

So as much
as l'm enjoying...

(MOANING)

What the hell
do you think
you're doing?

RICK: Well, do you
believe me now?

Well, it was worth a try.

(KEYS JINGLING)

(EXHALES)

(SIGHS)

Hello, Tina Calvin,
this is Theodore Calvin.

Yeah, l know it's late.

l had three charters today,

a whole week's
worth of paperwork
waiting for me.

How are the kids?

l iust wanted to say
good night to them.

No, l haven't talked
to Thomas today.

l've been busy.
l told you...

Yeah, okay.

Good night.

Thomas Magnum, please.
Yeah, l'll hold. Thank you.

NICK: Now, l tag you
for a baseball fan

J
more than basketball
am l right?

l knew it.

And l knew
you'd show up here today.
Sooner or later, anyway.

You know, l have
this funny ability
to read you guys.

''Us guys''?

Now, you, for instance,
are some serious stubborn,
but curious.

Probably worked real well
for you in the war,
but on the outside...

You aren't going
to talk about the war.

Are you one of those guys
who still can't talk about it?

l can talk about it
just fine.

l'm iust not gonna talk
about it with you.

Did you ever try
these free weights?

Some friends of mine
were dying over there

when you were playing
high school basketball,

or celebrating the fact
you had a high lottery number.

You know, l really think
you're gonna get to
whatever's bugging you

with these free weights
faster than on that bicycle.

Stubborn.

But curious.

You're right.

l didn't get to Vietnam
until it was over.

You know, the Chinese believe
we lock unpleasant memories
in various muscles.

What is it?

Come on,
you saw something.

Yeah. l'm real close.

Hey, Thomas,
l've been looking
all over for you.

Father Timothy here said
you might be over here.

l thought we were
gonna watch old movies.

l picked up Stalag 17,
A Thousand Clowns...

What were you
doing in Vietnam?

l was at the Club Med.

Actually, l was in
the Merchant Marine.

l wouldn't mind seeing
Stalag 17 again myself.

Unfortunately,
l have a noon service
in the chapel,

which l wanted to
make sure
you knew about.

RICK: Yeah, well, we might
be a little tied up, Father.

The Magn?f?cent Seven.
So, what do you think?

There were three men
in the warehouse.

Thomas, you're not gonna
start on that again.

On what?

Thomas has this idea
that when he was unconscious

that he was floating around,
and he was talking
to all of us.

That's a very
interesting theory.

Well, that's iust
what it is, Father.

Oh, l don't know.

What did you see?

Three men in the warehouse.

Two of them went
over the cliff.
That leaves a third man.

No, it doesn't.
There was another body
in the warehouse.

Lieutenant Tanaka said
you must have shot him.

You are close.

There's something l missed.

All right, Thomas,
l'm gonna tell you something
for your own good.

We all agreed not to tell you,
because we figured
you couldn't handle it,

but l'm gonna
tell you anyway,

just so you can take all
of this business and put it
behind you, where it belongs.

Michelle...
l know.

She was here.

RICK: What?

Your cousin, Michelle.
Yeah, l know all about it.

You know she was here?

l saw her.

Thomas.

After the shooting,
in the car

J
when the guys
went over the cliff
l was with her.

But if the third guy was
killed in the warehouse...

RICK: Which he was.

Well, that means...

That means that she's
out of danger, my cousin.

No.

lt means
there's a fourth man
still out there.

RICK: Thomas, if you know
where she is, then why
don't you warn her?

Thomas!

l don't know where she is.

l knew she was here,
but l don't know
where she went.

Why should l know that?
She's your cousin.

Hey, wait.

l'm sorry l brought
Michelle up in front of them.

Your Uncle Rudy
still work in the
Merchant Marine?

Yeah.
Well, call him and ask him

if Nick Patrelli
ever went to the Orient
on one of their ships.

Come on, Thomas, l admit
that l didn't l like the guy

when l first met him either,
but you're chasing
your own ghost.

l happened to have
an interesting conversation
with a nice lady

in personnel this morning.

lt seems Nick Patrelli
just happened to volunteer
his services here

the day after
l was admitted.

So that makes him
a mastermind in a plot
to kill you and Michelle?

lt makes him
the most likely
candidate l've got.

See what you can
find out for me,
will you?

Please?

RICK: l'm telling you,
you've been avoiding
this whole situation

ever since Thomas
entered the VA Hospital.

Hey, what do you
want me to do?

You think
you're gonna personally
change anything

by hanging around him
24 hours a day?

l can try.
That's a hell of a lot more
than you're willing to do.

Rick...
l come to you
for a little help,

but suddenly you got
charters to Maui, you're
going to the Big Island...

Hey! What's gonna
happen if l'm gone?

l mean, l've just
gotten to know
my kids again.

l mean, who's gonna take care
of them if l'm not around?

l gotta make sure
they're gonna be okay
before...

,
Look, T.C.

we're all gonna
die someday.

l mean,
l've been thinking
about it a lot, too,

ever since
this happened
to Thomas.

But you don't have to
think about it
every day of your life.

Right now,
Thomas is the one
who needs our help.

All right. Forget it!

(SIGHS)

MAGGIE: The three guys
who were after you

were pros w?th
no part?cular
pol?t?cal lean?ngs.

So there's no motive.

There's no reason.

There's got to be a reason.

Maggie?

l'm sorry, Thomas.

lt's just that l...

Well, l mean l can't believe
that we're actually
sitting here talking.

l almost
gave you up for...
Me, too.

Anyway,
whoever hired these guys

obviously knew
that Michelle was
on her way here.

Now, we haven't been
able to determine
through Navy sources

who that might have been,
but l have a friend
over at CIA...

Ron.
Ron.

How do you know
about Ron?

Well, l...

You must have told me.

Well, he's doing
everything he can to try
and find an ID for us.

l gave him
the number here.

How was dinner?
Oh, it was pretty terrible.

Lucky guess.

(PHONE RINGING)

Commander Poole.

Oh, hi, Rick.
Yes, he's right here.

Rick, what do you got?

The Merchant Marine
never heard of Nick Patrelli.

Neither did the CIA.

Ron...
Right again, Magpie.

Yeah, thanks,
Rick. Goodbye.

MAGGIE: Ron Templeton,
Thomas Magnum.

His name is Quang Ki.

Colonel Ki's brother?

Thomas!

Traitor!

(SCREAMING)

No. There's something else.

MAGGIE: Thomas.

Thomas?

MAGGIE: He's try?ng to avenge
h?s brother's death.

NICK: l haven't seen
him since this morning.

lt's funny you should be
Iooking for him
too, though.

Why are you
Iooking for him?

One of the guys wanted
to talk to him.

Said he didn't show up
for noon service.

l called the rectory.
They said...
They never heard of him.

Right.

Why'd you lie
about being in
the Merchant Marine?

What is this?

You checked up on me?

l'm just wondering
what you haven't told us
about Father Timothy.

He said he had some
business to take care of.

That he'd be back
in time for noon service.

He wasn't. That's all l know
about the good priest.

Excuse me.

l got work to do.

Thomas, you can't go
after Quang Ki.

You don't understand, Maggie.
l killed his brother.

As long as he's alive,
he won't stop at anything.

l understand that!

You think he's gonna avenge
his brother's death
by killing Michelle?

He thought he had her.

Once Michelle
was on the way to Hawaii,
he knew he could kill me.

He iust hadn't counted
on Michelle getting away.

Or on you.

Hey, you're a professional.
l appreciate that.

Ron...
Let me handle
this, Magpie.

Let's face it.
You've been out
of the field a while.

You should leave it
to younger guys
to find Quang.

Where did this
come from?

MAGGIE: l don't know.
Rick? T.C.? Your mom?

You didn't bring it?

Thomas.
This is just
what l was telling you.

First you think that
the physical therapy coach
is out to get you,

and now you think
there's something sinister
about the photograph.

Ron, he didn't
make all this up.

All right, let's not even
Iook at the fact

that your body's iust been
through a tremendous trauma.

Suppose you were
in the peak of health.

You have an
emotional investment here
that could get in your way.

l don't think
that's any of
your business.

Thomas, l know
you want to
help Michelle,

but maybe the best way
to do that right now
is to just stay out of it.

Just give me 24 hours.

Okay.

Really, Thomas.

KATHERINE:
Now you l?sten to me,
frank Peterson.

l know you're having
problems with these
asthma attacks,

but my son is
in real trouble,

and l'm not leaving
till l know he's okay.

And you'll do iust fine
without me till l get there.

And l love you, too.
All right.

l can't find
T.C. anywhere.

Perhaps it's iust
as well he's busy.

There's nothing
he can do.

Lieutenant Commander Poole
has assured me
they'll find Quang Ki.

And you believe that?

Me either.

What'll we do?

HIGGINS: Well, ?t started
?n L?ttle Sa?gon.

MAGNUM: Michelle!

Thomas!

NICK: Sorry.

l didn't mean
to startle you.

What do you want,
Patrelli?

l wanted to tell you
that you're wrong.

l never played
basketball
in high school,

and l never
celebrated over
my lottery number.

Forget it.

Really.

Oh. Merchant Marine.

lt usually gives me
a little credibility
with the guys l work with.

l never saw
any harm in it.

What did you say
he said to you?

(PHONE RINGING)
Father Timothy?

He said he had some...
What was it?

Unfinished business
to take care of.

lf he wanted me here,
he'd leave me an invitation.

l beg your pardon?

Are you gonna get that?

Sorry, Maggie.

Yep?

Nope.

He just left.

Left? Left for where?

(GUN FIRES)

Thomas!

(GRUNTING)

(SHOUTING)

MAN: Thomas!

There's another way, man.

l love you, Michelle.

More than anyone
l've ever known.

And l'm lett?ng you go.

Well, see you in
another 40 or 50 years.

(GRUNTS)

(EXHALES)
