03x02 - Easy Money

Post by bunniefuu »

Oh, wait, you were hired to find an urn?

Mm-hmm.

Technically, it was still a missing persons case.



But yes, an urn.

And, uh, how long have you been in Hawaii?

Going on four years now.

How about you?

Three.

I never thought I'd get to practice in a place like this, so when the opportunity came my way, I jumped at the chance.

Yeah.

And, um...

do you ask out a lot of patients on dates?

Uh, only the ones that hit on me while sedated.

Uh, thank you for bringing the wine.

My pleasure.

Thank you for dinner.

Please, a couple of shrimp plates versus an '82 burgundy?

I, uh, think I got the better end of the deal there.

Well, it was very kind of you to offer.

La Mer... well, I just thought it might be a bit much for a first date.

I mean, don't get me wrong, La Mer is...

amazing.

It's just, uh...

committing to a fine-dining experience on a first date seemed to me a risky proposition.

I mean, imagine if you were two courses into a five-course tasting menu when you realize that your date is a total bore, and there's no escape.

Whereas here, you can order, eat and be on your way in under 20 minutes.

Well, it's, uh...

it's been close to an hour, and you're still here.

So I can't be doing that bad.

No, I'd...

say you're doing rather well.

If you keep this up, there might be some dessert in your future.

Just to be clear, that was not innuendo-- I was genuinely talking about dessert.

Yeah, that's, uh, that's how I took it.

Cheers.

Oh, come on, man, tell me she's not a beaut.

You know, summer of sixth grade, my uncle took me to see the Tigers play the Orioles at Memorial Stadium.

All right, I got there two hours early, sat by the dugout so Whitaker could sign that very card.

Maybe you ought to keep it.

Sounds like it has sentimental value.

Well, I'm more interested in the monetary value.

I had to pawn my Rolex the other day to get a new set of tires.

Expensive tires.

Yeah.

Expensive car.

I was hoping to use the money from this card to pay down the loan.

The sooner I get my watch back, the better.

I just kind of feel naked without it.

I hate to break it to you, but the most I can give you is four.

Four?

That's it?

400 bucks?

Come on.

No.

Four dollars.

Wait, for that card?

Are you kidding me?

That's Sweet Lou.

He's, like, a Hall of Fame second baseman.

He's one of the Tigers' all-time greats.

Actually, Whitaker isn't in the Hall.

Yet.

They have yet to come to their senses.

Tell you what, given that it's signed, which does add value...

Quite a bit, I would say.

I'll go up to $20.

Give me the card back.

Mr. Magnum.

Hey.

I didn't realize you were coming in.

You know, I actually tried to get in touch with you last night.

Oh, I'm sorry I missed the call.

Look, one of my guys screwed up.

He put your watch out before it was supposed to be displayed.

It sold.

What-what are you talking about?

I had three weeks to pay down the loan.

I know.

Okay, well, call the guy back and get the watch back.

I wish I could.

Unfortunately, they paid for it in cash.

But of course, I'll have it replaced if it can't be found.

No, this-this was my father's watch.

It can't just be replaced.

I-I'm really sorry.

Look, I'll do my best to get it back.

You have my word.

I know what you're thinking.

It's just a watch, right?

But other than the memories, it's the only part of my dad that I still have.

And wearing it on my wrist made me feel like he was still with me.

Hey, Gordy, what's up?

Got news on that white SUV that was tailing you.

The name on the rental application came back as an alias.

I guess they cover their tracks.

Yeah.

Look, I'm sure your next move is to steal the security footage from the rental lot, but let us handle this, okay?

I'll get officers to pull the video, and with any luck, we'll get an I.D.

All right.

Appreciate it, Gordy.

No problem.

I'll call you when I know more.

What are you doing?

Shh, shh, shh.

I think you need to pull up.

I'll have you know that I've just completed four successful landings in a row, and I do not need you pestering me.

These were, uh, on the other side of the gate.

They're from Dr.

Shah, thanking you for such a wonderful time last night.

Sure, go ahead, read the card, Magnum, why not?

It's not like I can expect any privacy around here.

How was I supposed to know they were for you?

Oh, who else would they have been for?

I like flowers.

Besides, it looks like the date went well.

Yeah, it was, you know, it was fine, I suppose.

It was fine?

Flowers don't say fine.

Unless, I don't know, maybe the doctor had a better night than you did.

Magnum, I'm-I'm trying to concentrate.

What's with the video game anyway?

This is an advanced flight simulator.

I am brushing up on my piloting skills.

You know how to fly?

How did I not know that?

Gee, perhaps because you never bothered to ask.

My grandmother had a Tiger Moth when I was growing up.

She taught me to fly when I was 13.

Which is just as well, because I have booked us a job that will require my expertise.

It's an airplane leasing company.

They want us to locate and repossess a plane here on the island.

Really?

Oh, do try to contain your enthusiasm, Magnum.

It's infectious.

Well, it's just that repos are kind of sketchy.

I mean, people normally don't like letting their property go, plus the pay's not great, which is why those jobs tend to go to the bottom-feeders.

Well, right now, Magnum, I hate to tell you, we are the bottom-feeders.

Plus, the finder's fee is 50K.

Which is why I've already agreed to the assignment.

Well, that is a pretty good payday.

But still, I mean, we're taking on a ton of risk.

We're essentially stealing an aircraft.

And clearly it's been some time since you've flown.

In fact, I think you overcorrected.

What are you talking about?

You're about to overshoot the runway.

Well...

I mean, I wouldn't have crashed if you hadn't distracted me.

Well, I hope that's the case, because that 50K is only gonna mean something if we're alive to spend it.

Excellent.

We'll get on it right away.

Yeah.

No, no, no, no, I can assure you we have ample experience.

Um, we've actually done...

we've done quite a few of these, in fact.

No, I can assure you we will return your plane safely and quickly.

Yeah.

Great.

Ooh, thank you for flying Air Magnum.

May your soul rest in peace.

What did the client say?

Well, it seems that one of their customers submitted fraudulent information in order to lease a Gulfstream G150, and now all attempts at communication have been unsuccessful, so they want us to locate and return the plane ASAP.

Well, it seems like they came to the right place, seeing as we have "ample" experience.

Look, okay, I confess, I don't even enjoy bending the truth.

It's just, I-I really need this job, Magnum.

Okay, is money really that tight?

The operating expenses of Robin's Nest are literally bleeding me dry.

I cannot pass up the opportunity to make a quick $50,000.

I think you're overestimating how easy this job is gonna be.

Am I?

FAA records indicate that the plane is somewhere here on Oahu.

We find it, we fly it from point A to point B, and we collect our money.

I mean, it shouldn't take more than a few hours.

Okay, fine, I'm in.

But I reserve the right to complain about it if it doesn't go as smoothly as you're predicting.

Noted.

Just get out of my chair so we can get to work.

You know, as much as I have reservations about taking this job, it actually comes at a good time.

Because remember I told you I hocked my watch for the new set of tires?

Mm-hmm.

Well, the owner of the pawn shop screwed up and sold my watch.

Oh, that's terrible.

I know how much it meant to you.

Yeah, yeah, it's-- Well, when we get paid, I'm gonna track down the buyer and, I don't know, offer 'em twice what they paid for it.

All right, I'm here.

Lay it on me.

Sorry, lay what on you?

Your date with Ethan.

Dish.

Oh, yeah, it was...

it was fine.

See, that-that's all I got out of her, too.

Well, if you don't want to talk about the date, why did you text me to come here?

I need a favor.

Would you mind running a background check for me?

Well, if that's for the repo case, I-I can handle it.

It's not.

Wait, you want me to run a background check on Dr.

Shah?

After one date?

Yeah, I know, I should have done it before I agreed to have dinner with him, but hey...

Guys, I'm being cautious.

Okay, I mean, Ethan seems great.

He's fantastic, there's just...

something I can't put my finger on.

He's too perfect or something.

Okay.

Now I'm curious.

Give me a couple hours to do a deep dive.

If there's anything shady about the good doctor, I'll find it.

But, you know, keep it, keep it discreet.

Light footprint, please.

You got it.

Okay, what happened on that date?

What are you not telling me?

Can we just focus on the job at hand?

Please.

Right.

All right.

So I've linked the Gulfstream to a series of numbered companies and shell corporations based in the Caymans.

The Caymans.

Okay, that's not sketchy.

In the last year, the registered owner, Alex Dorian, has been making regular trips between the mainland and Oahu.

And according to air traffic control reports, it says that the plane is here on a private airstrip.

And according to a flight plan logged with the FAA, it's due to take off at 11:45.

Gotta get going.

Mm-hmm.

Hey.

Check it out.

Check out what?

The thing that's gonna get people back in here.

That's a joke, right?

No, not at all.

No, everybody loves Jell-O wrestling.

This is the same thing, just with the local flair.

First event is next weekend, and guess who's facing off mano a mano?

Me and you, my friend.

That ain't happening.

What, you scared?

Of rolling around in a gelatinous meat product?

Yes.

Yeah, it sounds pretty gross.

Look, I've been going through the books, and between the take-out business and scaling back our vendors, we're only short a few grand a month.

So we just need to ride this thing out until it gets better.

And we definitely don't need some gimmick when we've got your world-famous mai tais to pack out the house.

I don't know, man, this place is looking pretty bleak lately.

Trust me.

: If you mix it, they will come.

Eventually.

All right.

I'll give it a few more weeks.

Uh...

Calling during business hours?

You know he needs something.

Thomas, you got me and TC.

Hey, listen, Higgins and I need a favor.

We landed a gig repo'ing a plane.

Look, i-if you need a pilot, I know a guy, but he's gonna take a finder's fee.

No, no, we actually got that covered.

Higgins is gonna fly.

Higgins can fly?

Yeah.

I knew that.

Hold on, you told TC you know how to fly?

Magnum, he's a pilot.

It came up organically.

Just get to the point.

All right, well, we're on our way to the airstrip now.

If I sh**t you the address, can you come pick up the Range Rover?

Oh, God, I'd love to, but, you know, the bar, it's slamming right now.

Come on, if you're gonna lie, at least make it believable.

All right, hanging up now.

H-Hey, hold on.

What if I make it worth your while?

If you do me this solid, I will pay up my bar tab in full by closing.

I'll drive.

We're coming right now.

That's it.

Tail number matches.

Hope you brought some bolt cutters.

Of course I didn't.

Cutting the fence would be destruction of property, Magnum.

Okay.

You see?

Hold on, that's my rug.

Magnum, if you had bothered to read the rental agreement that I had you sign, you would know that all the contents of the guesthouse, including decor and furnishings, are not included.

O-Okay, well, just be careful with that thing.

All right?

It really ties the room together.

Once we're in the air, I need you to call the client and let them know we're delivering the plane.

Okay.

Magnum.

Yeah?

That's got to be security.

I don't think security would be wearing ski masks.

Okay, we got to get up in the air now.

Pull up!

I'm working on it!

Pull up, pull up!

We got a problem.

You think one of those sh**t was the owner, Dorian?

Seems a bit extreme, to say the least.

: Yeah.

What is that?

We're losing hydraulic pressure.

H-Higgy, we're dropping.

I'm aware.

Well, do something.

Buckle up.

Brace for impact.

That's not what I was talking about.

Just do it.

I hate to say it, but I don't think we're getting our 50K.

You're bleeding.

Take a seat.

Oh, look at that.

Let's see what's going on.

The stitches opened up.

Go on, you can say it.

Say what?

That you told me so.

I thought this job was gonna be a cinch, and I was wrong.

Well, you knew I was gonna be right.

I mean, uh, I'm supposed to be the one that's impulsive, all right?

Got to stay in your lane.

Although I will hand it to you, being that your flying skills were pretty rusty, you did manage to put us down in the one place that would give us a chance.

Yeah, well, the comms on board are all out.

: Yeah.

No service.

Great.

We can't wait around for rescue.

I know.

The guys who sh*t us, they definitely saw where the plane went down.

Yeah.

I'm thinking there's something on board they didn't want us to leave with.

My guess is dr*gs.

Well, trafficking would explain the plane's shady paper trail and all the trips to the mainland.

Yeah.

If it is dr*gs and they get it back, maybe they'll leave us alone, but that's not a chance I'm willing to take.

Okay, well, judging how long we were airborne, I'd say we're about five to ten miles from civilization?

Yeah.

And if we head due south, it'll be, I don't know, two, three hours.

All right.

All right, you wait here.

I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

Well, we're not gonna get far with you in that condition.

Let me see if there's a first aid kit.

Ugh, well, I hope you're not planning on using a flare g*n.

You're only gonna alert the men who sh*t us down to our location.

What are you doing here?

I told you I got it.

Nonsense.

I can help.

Here.

Take these.

Thanks.

Hey, look at this.

This area is usually reserved for carry-on storage, but this has been retrofitted.

It's sealed off.

Well, if there are dr*gs on board, I think you just found them.

Or not.

Grab the g*n.

Yeah.

He's unconscious.

He must have been injured when we crashed.

That's not Alex Dorian.

No wallet?

Nope.

Cell phone?

Yeah.

See if you can find his contact information.

Okay.

Our stowaway is Renaldo Cassione.

Resides in Waimea.

He's got prison ink.

This guy's done some time.

What's an armed felon doing hiding on this plane?

I don't know, but he's probably the reason why they didn't want us to take off.

Okay, well, we've got to take him with us.

We can't just leave him here.

Okay.

What are you guys doing here?

We're here to pick up Thomas's ride.

He and Higgy were here to repo a plane.

Should've figured they were involved in this somehow.

What's with the big turnout?

Somebody report the plane stolen?

I wish it was that.

HPD got reports of sh*ts fired.

When we showed up, a plane was missing and there were shell casings all over the runway.

We're still trying to piece it together, but it seems someone didn't take too kindly to Magnum and Higgins seizing their plane.

Sir, we got the security footage.

Thanks.

Two sh**t.

Both in masks.

No plates on the vehicle, either.

They knew this place was being monitored by cameras.

They came prepared.

You know, something I don't get, if Thomas and Higgins managed to take off, then why didn't they use the plane's comms to tell somebody what happened?

They're gone.

Split up and search for them.

We go on foot from here.

From that ridge over there...

Yeah?

...we might be able to get service.

We should probably take a minute to rest.

I think you need it.

Whew.

What?

You know, it's okay to say that you're the one that needs to rest for a minute?

I wouldn't hold it against you, okay?

Well, our boy here is deceptively heavy.

How you managing?

No, I'm fine.

The pain reliever helped.

You know, last week, it's a g*nsh*t.

This week, it's a plane crash.

It's a really good thing your new boyfriend is a surgeon, assuming he passes the background check.

Oh, what is the big problem?

I mean, is it so strange that I want to know more about this guy before I take it any further?

Has he given you any reason to be suspicious?

Has he been cagey or dishonest about anything?

No.

Okay, well, I think the fact that you want a background check on the man says more about you than it does about him.

What's that supposed to mean?

You hear that?

It's a helicopter.

It's got to be search and rescue.

No, no, wait.

There's no markings.

That's not a rescue helicopter.

But they're flying low, like they're looking for us.

Let's get back under cover.

I've got signal.

Call 911.

They'll be able to track us.

No, I wouldn't do that.

Guys that are after me, they have somebody inside HPD on the payroll.

Sounds like they're moving on.

Who are you people?

Well, you know, considering I've been carrying your ass through the jungle for the last hour, how about you go first?

Fair enough.

I'm Renaldo.

Yeah, Renaldo Cassione.

We got that much.

What were you doing on Alex Dorian's plane, and who are these guys following us?

They work for my boss Nestor Moreno.

Moreno, he's a nightclub owner, but it's mainly a front for laundering money for his coke business.

Okay, well, if you work for this Moreno guy, then why is he trying to k*ll you?

Well, he thinks I was skimming money off the operation.

Okay, I was.

But Dorian tipped me off before Moreno's hitters could get to me.

Okay, and what is Alex Dorian's involvement in this operation?

He hooked up with Moreno a few months back, running transpo.

But it's just his cover.

Turns out, he plays for the other side.

Dorian's an undercover Fed.

DEA.

Okay, well, that explains why the plane's lease was run through a shell company.

He didn't want it being traced back to law enforcement.

When he found out Moreno was gonna take you out, he risked breaking cover to save you.

Plan was for me to hide on the plane and then we'd fly back to the mainland this morning.

In exchange, I agreed to turn state's.

Well, Moreno must have found out about it somehow, because he knew you were on that plane.

If we hadn't been hired to repo it, you'd be a dead man.

So that's how you got caught up in this.

I guess I owe you.

What time was Dorian supposed to meet you to fly out?

7:00 a.m.

He just had to grab some stuff.

Evidence he'd been gathering.

But he never showed.

Only reason Dorian wouldn't show is if something happened to him.

What do you mean you can't track the plane?

Well, how would the transponder even be disabled?

Well, use satellite imagery to search for it.

I got to call you back.

Magnum, where the hell are you?

Are you guys hurt?

I'm sure you heard about the crash.

We're okay, but we had to abandon the plane.

The guys who sh*t us down are after us.

All right, hold on.

I'll triangulate a signal, get a rescue team out there right now.


No, no, hold on.

Before you do that, there's a lot more you need to know.

Listen, how do you think those hitters managed to track you to the airstrip?

Someone must have told them that you were hiding on the plane.

Other than Dorian, only person I told was my girlfriend.

I called her from the plane this morning.

Thought she was loyal, but...

Personally, I hope it was your girlfriend who told them, because the alternative is that Moreno's men found Agent Dorian and tortured the information out of him.

Okay.

I'll contact DEA, get a BOLO out on Agent Dorian.

Then I'll find out what we've got on Moreno's operation, get HPD to start rounding people up.

Actually, I'm gonna need you to leave HPD out of this.

What are you talking about?

Well, according to our stowaway, Moreno's got a high-level informant inside the department.

We have to assume he's on the comms.

Your source on all this is a drug runner.

What makes you think he's telling the truth?

It's just a gut feeling.

I don't see what incentive he has to lie.

I'm guessing your guy doesn't know who the mole is, which means I'm gonna have to go under the radar, both in coordinating your rescue and tracking down Agent Dorian.

Yeah.

That's no problem, right?

Sit tight.

Help is on the way.

Believe me, I'd prefer to send search and rescue.

But if there's even a chance someone in HPD's feeding the cartel info, we can't risk tipping them off.

Don't worry.

We got you.

Good, 'cause I'm gonna have my hands full tracking this DEA agent.

You got any leads yet?

DEA doesn't have offices in Hawaii.

But Dorian's handlers in L.A. pinged his burner, which put him at a location in Waikane as of two hours ago.

I'll start there.

You're not gonna go alone, are you?

No, in fact, that's my backup right now.

Wait, that's your backup?

Kid looks like he's 12 years old.

I know, but he's a good cop.

Oh, yeah, one last thing.

Ooh.

Didn't think I'd see her ever again.

Don't get too attached.

It's just in case you run into any trouble.

Thanks for coming.

No problem.

Hey.

Detective Palima.

Palima?

You're that kid that took on the k*ller of Waianae last year?

Didn't you take a Kn*fe in the back?

It was to the chest, actually.

Huh.

Okay, we got to roll.

Go get our friends.

Oh, great.

Whilst we've been keeping watch, you've been gathering coconuts.

At least now we'll have something to throw at Moreno's men when they start f*ring g*ns at us.

Okay, let's see your little boo-boo.

Excuse me?

Your wound.

Let me see it.

That's actually not looking great.

I'm gonna have to irrigate it.

With what?

Coconut water.

It's actually an anti-inflammatory.

Plus, it relieves pain.

But I'm not gonna lie, it's probably gonna sting a little bit.

Sorry about that.

Hey, I just saw movement in the trees.

We got to jam, right?

We move from here, the rescue team might not be able to track us.

So what do we do?

Drop the radio.

While you're at it, put the g*n down.

The others probably heard that sh*t.

We need to get out of here now.

So much for being rescued.

Move, move!

Go, go, go!

Go, go.

: We've lost service.

We can't go back.

It's too risky.

We've got to keep moving.

Got to find a spot where we can get a signal.

Come on.

According to DEA, Agent Dorian's cell last pinged here this morning.

Must be where he's been staying.

Sir.

Moreno's guys must have gotten to Dorian before he could leave for the airstrip.

So where's his body?

I got blood here.

The trail ends here.

Car's gone.

Dorian got away.

Yeah, but considering he hasn't contacted DEA, he's got to be badly injured, or worse.

Here we go.

Rendezvous spot should be just up ahead.

Where the hell are they?

They should be here.

They're not.

They're not here.

I don't see 'em.

There's no way Thomas and Higgy moved from that spot unless they were forced to.

Still no service.

I don't think we're gonna get any until we get over that ridge.

: Guys.

Looks deserted.

Hello?

Anyone here?

What?

Now we can be sure it's empty.

I think I know what this place is.

See those plants?

That's cannabis.

Sitting on large amounts of fertilizer and pesticide.

Illegal pot farm on public land.

Great.

What a fitting place to take refuge from drug traffickers.

It's empty.

Probably abandoned.

Black market took a big hit when Hawaii decriminalized this year.

Let's look around, see if we can find anything helpful.

Look, Thomas.

It's dead.

There's no spare batteries.

You know, maybe I could make one.

Okay, thanks.

None of the local ERs have received a patient matching Dorian's description.

I know that look.

What's up?

Closest hospital is Queen's.

Dorian would have driven straight there.

So I'm retracing his route.

In case something kept him from making it.

Mm-hmm.

Over there.

You see that?

Grass has been disturbed.

Something passed through here.

Come on.

His pulse is faint but he's alive.

This is Detective Palima.

I'm gonna need an ambulance at my location right away.

Year ten, science fair, I won second place for building a battery out of common household items.

The acidity in the lemons will help to move the electrical current.

Connecting the wire to the nails should complete the circuit.

Voilà.

Guess when life gives you lemons, you make a battery.

I can't believe that actually worked.

Little Bird, this is White Knight.

Do you copy?

We hear you, White Knight.

What's your position?

Over.

We're five klicks south of the rendezvous point, holed up in a cabin.

We'll find it.

See you in a few.

Over and out.

I've got fresh footprints.

How you feeling?

You know, if the pain's getting to be a little too much, you can always dip into the weed stock.

I'm fine, thanks.

What did you mean earlier?

I'm sorry, you're gonna have to be a little more specific than that.

About the background check.

About how it says more about me than it does about Ethan.

Well, I think you're just...

looking for a reason to pull the rip cord before it even has a chance to be something.

And why would I do that?

You don't want to get hurt.

After everything that's happened, I can't say I blame you.

Look, the law of averages says it's probably not gonna work out with this guy anyway.

But, um, I think you owe it to yourself to at least give it a chance.

Maybe we should circle back to this conversation.

That's a lot of firepower.

Rick and TC are still a few minutes out.

Okay, we'll just have to hold them off until then.

What are they doing?

I don't know.

Maybe we should ask them.

Yeah, I couldn't help but notice you guys out there.

Something we can help you with?

Matter of fact, there is.

We're here for Renaldo.

Send him out, and we'll be on our way.

No can do.

We've actually grown quite fond of him.

Then I guess we're at an impasse.

It appears so.

But, uh, you know, I just want to warn you, you come bursting in here doing something crazy, we are heavily armed, and you're gonna lose a lot of men.

Then maybe we'll stay out here.

Wait for you to come out.

That's not gonna happen.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Over there.

Uh, Thomas.

I think they're about to set the house on fire.

Over there.

Look!

Smoke!

They got the back door covered.

We try to leave, we're dead.

Okay, we stay in here, we are going to burn to death.

I vote we take our chances, right?

I got a better idea.

What the hell are you doing?

This cabin's built on a foundation, right?

There's a crawl space under here.

Okay, so instead of burning to death inside the house, we burn to death underneath it.

Cool.

Look...

They're expecting us to go out the front or the back.

If we have the element of surprise, we stand a chance.

I guess it's the best bad idea we have right now.

Where the hell are they?

That a girl, Betty.

All right, let's take her down.

Roger that.

Impeccable timing as always, chaps.

Let's just hope we got enough gas to get back.

You know what?

Don't even go there.

One plane crash is enough for today.

That smell.

Is that, uh...?

Yep.

Oh...

Yeah, come on.

Is this the...?

I put the doctor under a microscope just like you asked.

Thanks.

I appreciate it.

Should I give you a minute?

No, that won't be necessary.

Um...

Can you do me a favor and-and shred this?

I-I really appreciate all the effort you put in, but, uh, I won't be needing it.

You won't be going out with him again?

No, I-I think I will.

It's just, if there's something I need to know, I am sure I will find out in due time.

I think you're making the right decision.

: Thanks, Kumu.

You've certainly earned that.

The first of many.

It's been a, uh, tough day.

Well, I think it's about to get a little bit better.

Is that...?

Your watch.

Yeah.

You're the one who bought my watch.

I just felt so bad that you had to pawn it to buy the new tires, so I went to the shop and I sweet-talked an employee into letting me buy it.

I was gonna have it cleaned and serviced before I gave it back to you, but then you found out and it just felt too cruel to wait any longer, so...

I don't know how to thank you, or to...

..or to ever repay you.

Well, you actually helped me plenty today.

The advice you gave me earlier was appreciated.

I just called Ethan, thanked him for the flowers, arranged a second date.

That's great.

I'm really happy for you.

I hate to say it, Magnum, but...

for an emotionally stunted man-child, you can occasionally be rather insightful.

Well, I guess I have my moments.

Good night.

Hey, Gordon.

How's, uh, Agent Dorian doing?

He's out of surgery.

Doctors say he'll make a full recovery.

I also got word that Renaldo Cassione is on a plane back to L.A., where he'll be turning state's witness against Moreno.

Speaking of which, we ran Moreno's phone records and were able to I.D.

the HPD mole.

Guy's currently in custody.

Wow.

That is, that is all great.

It is.

But it's actually not why I'm calling.

I just heard back about our white SUV.

And were you able to identify who the driver was?

Unfortunately, no.

This guy was careful to avoid the cameras.

He also disabled a GPS tracker that was installed under the dash.

We did find something, though.

According to the paperwork the company sent over, under "local contact," the renter put down-- and get ready for this-- "Thomas Magnum." So they knew that we'd eventually be onto them.

Yeah.

And I think they're saying that no matter what you do, they'll always be a step ahead.

Whoever's following you, Magnum, they're not your run-of-the-mill stalker.

Which means that you need to watch yourself.

Because whoever this is, I think they're just getting started.
