(SIRENS WAILING)

(HORN HONKS)

OFFICER: - -Central.

Suspect is moving northbound on Diamond Head.

Request air support.

(TIRES SCREECH)

OFFICER: Suspect is on th.

Where's that air support, Central?

OFFICER : Be advised, suspect just ditched an unidentified object out the window.

Hey, I got something over here.

OFFICER: Driver blew a light, took off when a cruiser tried to pull him over.

Unfortunately, he got away.

No plates on the vehicle.

This was in the bag, too?

Yeah.

That name mean something to you?

She's a friend.

Oh, man.

I got to say, this new sauce is something else.

Mm.

The balance of heat and flavor is...

- it's quite masterful.

- It's great.

These bad boys are gonna be a game changer.

(CRUNCHES)

What?

Yeah, what's with the look?

What's with the look?

Did anybody ever teach you guys how to eat a chicken wing?

My God.

Higgins is from England, so I'll give her a pass, but you two?

I expected better.

I didn't realize there was a correct way to eat a chicken wing.

(RICK SIGHS)

Allow me to demonstrate.

Take that.

Now, what you do, you give it a little twist, okay?

You separate the joints, pull out the little bone, and then you lollipop it.

Hmm?

Mmm...

Wow.

Is it possible to be both horrified and impressed at the same time?

Hate to cut this short, but... our client's here.

You know, I really did find the balance between heat and flavor.

That you did.

Sylvia?

Hi, I'm Juliet Higgins.

This is my partner.

Thomas Magnum.

Thank you for meeting me.

There isn't much time.

What's going on?

There's gonna be a m*rder tomorrow afternoon.

I need help stopping it.

How do you know this?

I'm a psychic.

So, you had a vision of your client being m*rder*d by her husband.

Yes.

Her name is Megan McGrady.

I tried to warn her, but that just scared her off.

And when I went to the police...

They had a hard time believing you?

Practically laughed in my face.

And you don't believe me, either.

Oh, we didn't say that.

Well, you might not believe my gift is real, but my money is.

You'll either save a life or make $ , giving me some peace of mind.

Please...

I have no one else to go to, and if something were to happen...

I'd never forgive myself.

Well, Ms. Dupont, we will take the case.

Thank you, truly.

I see great success in your future endeavors.

What have you gotten us into?

Nothing we can't handle.

Everything okay?

That lady seemed a little on edge.

Oh, it's just fantastic.

Well, we've just been hired to prevent a m*rder that our client stumbled upon using her third eye.

She's a psychic.

Oh, really?

Well, I suppose our investigation will determine that.

But if you ask me, it's a load of codswallop.

RICK: Yeah, I-I'm with Higgy on this one.

You give somebody a crystal ball and people believe every word that comes out of their mouths, including, uh...

how-how do you say that?

- "Codswallop"?

Codswallop.

- HIGGINS: Yes.

All right, well, I'm on Megan McGrady's social media right now, which is filled with delightful photos of her and her loving husband, Matt.

See...

Oh, look.

There they are on their wedding day.

Hmm?

Look, Halloween...

Oh, the day they bought their first home.

Well, they seem like a happy couple.

Yeah, see, I still wouldn't be so quick to doubt your psychic.

Why's that?

When I was years old, I lost the money clip my grandpops gave me.

It's been in our family for generations.

If he found out, I'd be dead.

So, anyway, I'm looking for this thing all day long, until I finally retraced my steps for the hundredth time and I got a little desperate.

So, naturally, you went to see a psychic?

Look, I wouldn't have found that clip if not for Lady Della Monroe.

I'm just saying, you guys should maybe have an open mind.

I don't know about psychics, all right, but I do know social media only tells half the story.

Got to see this through.

There was .

million worth of jewels in that bag.

Along with this.

Any idea how your contact info got mixed up in there?

No.

But I've seen this tiara before.

- WOMAN: You must be Teuila.

- Yes.

- Aloha.

- Thank you for seeing me on such short notice.

It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Marcos.

Please, call me First Lady.

In this day and age, a woman's got to be more than just a "missus," don't you agree?

Walk with me, Teuila.

I have a proposition for you.

Did you know I commissioned the Philippines' first cultural center?

Right in the heart of Manila.

I did not.

I admire what you do, Teuila.

The preservation of culture is a most honorable endeavor.

KUMU: Everyone has their own idea of what Hawaii is supposed to be.

Our culture's constantly being redefined, but it's too important to lose.

You'll never know how to move forward if you don't know where you come from.

I could not agree more.

If Hawaii is going to be our new home, I'm going to need a cultural advisor.

I've only worked at the cultural center a short while, I can't just...

This is an opportunity of a lifetime, Teuila.

I need you if I'm going to make a name for myself here.

Why?

Sinta ko, people need to know I'm more than just a shoe collector.

KATSUMOTO: Sinta?

It's a term of affection.

Means "darling." I ain't nobody's darling.

So she offered you the job.

Then what?

I turned it down.

Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos stole billions from the Filipino Treasury.

They lavished in riches while their people starved.

When they were overthrown, they fled to Hawaii.

Of course, they denied causing any suffering, making themselves out to be the victims.

I couldn't work for them, no matter what Imelda offered.

They were never sorry about what they did, only that they got caught.

Exactly.

(SIGHS)

So I can assume you don't know anything else about these jewels?

Like how they might have left her estate?

After that day, I never went back.

(PHONE RINGS)

Katsumoto.

Got it.

No, I'll be right there.

Sorry, another case just came up, but I'll be in touch.

Thank you, Kumu.

Okay.

RICK: Wow, the Imelda Marcos?

The one and only.

Didn't she have, like, , pairs of shoes or something like that?

That's what they say.

Sorry I'm late, had to stop for petrol, traffic coming from Ethan's was a total nightmare, and the Ferrari is taking up two spaces, so I had to park miles away.

Anyway, last night I did a deep dive on the McGradys.

They dated for a year, been married for two.

Both of them work in sales.

Neither of them has a criminal record and they live in Kapolei.

What?

And a good morning to you.

Beg your pardon?

I think he's saying it seems like you may have woken up on the wrong side of the bed.

Hey, if waking up meant leaving the warmth of Ethan's biceps, I'd be in a mood, too.

I-I'm not in a mood, I'm just...

eager to get to work.

We are supposed to be preventing a m*rder today.

She's right.

Guess we'll catch you guys later.

Mm.

(HIGGINS SIGHS)

This is a total waste of time.

Megan doesn't have a life insurance policy and she doesn't come from money.

Well, we can cross money off the list of motives.

What about infidelity?

No, I've-I've looked at her phone records and emails.

Matt's, too.

There's no sign that either of them are having an affair.

There's got to be something.

We have to keep digging.

There isn't something.

Sylvia was wrong.

Yes, but she did pay us up front, which means we have to see this through.

- And if she is wrong...

- Which she most certainly is.

...then we follow Megan around for a day, ease Sylvia of her fears, case closed.

MAN: Hey.

Can I help you folks with something?

Uh...

(CHUCKLING): Yeah.

I'm-I'm sorry.

We don't mean to bother anybody, but my wife is really in love with your house.

Oh, it's my favorite in the neighborhood.

It's so charming.

I-I have to ask, would you guys ever be open to selling?

Oh.

No, sorry, Meg and I got plans to grow old there, but, you know, I-I think there's a four-bedroom on the market just two blocks down.

- (PHONE VIBRATING)

- Oh, okay...

Oh.

- Great.

- Oh, uh, sorry, it's the babysitter.

- Better let you take that.

- Okay.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Gordie.

It's me and Higgins.

How do you two know Sylvia Dupont?

How do you know we know Sylvia Dupont?

Well, her call log indicates you've recently been in contact.

She reached out to us to inquire about our services.

Sylvia is our client.

- Was your client.

- What do you mean?

Sylvia Dupont's just been m*rder*d.

He's right in here.

Gordie.

Body was discovered by a client who showed up for a reading.

M.E. estimates she's been dead about two hours.

Any idea what happened?

Thought it could've been a robbery, but the cashbox was left behind, doesn't look like anything else was taken.

Hey, what kind of case were you guys working on for her?

Sylvia had a vision of a m*rder and hired us to stop it.

- Oh, you're serious.

- HIGGINS: Well, she was convinced that one of her clients was gonna be m*rder*d by her husband this afternoon, but as yet, we haven't found anything to support her claims.

MAGNUM: What's with the rocks?

OFFICER: They're crystals.

You're supposed to carry them with you all the time 'cause they vibrate at frequencies that soothe the mind and body.

My wife's got a collection at home.

KATSUMOTO: Two sh*ts to the chest.

MAGNUM: Somebody wanted to make sure Sylvia wouldn't survive.

Who would want to m*rder a psychic?

Maybe a client who realized she was a fraud.

(PHONE RINGING)

Give me a second.

Yeah.

Katsumoto.

HIGGINS: What are you doing?

Sylvia hired us to prevent a m*rder.

Least we can do is to look into hers.

Hey, babe.

How was it?

I passed.

Turns out, working for a dictator wasn't really for me.

MANUI: Kaipu told me about the interview, cuz.

So, what was she like?

Imelda?

She kept saying how they have nothing, while giving me a tour of the mansion.

People like Imelda Marcos ain't used to being told no.

Think she'll call again?

Ugh, she better lose my number.

MANUI: How was the house?

See any gold toilets?

(LAUGHS)

Didn't check.

But I did see a butler polishing a gold tiara.

Thing was taller than a slice of Hula Pie.

No kidding.

I don't know how you could wear it, though.

Thing must weigh a ton.

Manui.

You okay?

Oh, yeah.

Just wondering if Imelda's butler would be free to wax my board once he's done with the silverware.

(LAUGHTER)

(LINE RINGING)

Hey, Rick?

You guys busy?

(SIGHS)

I hate to sound like Thomas, but I need a favor.

I think I know who stole Imelda's jewels.

MAGNUM: Each of her clients has a three-digit code written next to their name.

What do you make of that?

- Some kind of bookkeeping thing?

- It's possible.

It's hard to know without more context.

What do you have so far?

There's not much to uncover on Sylvia.

No lawsuits, no criminal charges.

Just some bad reviews.

MAGNUM: "Dupont will scam you out of your money." "She's a con artist." "Take your business elsewhere." "Dupont's a charlatan who pretends to have a gift." "Dupont's a charlatan, don't waste your time with her." Poor syntax, some of the same words, similar spelling and grammatical errors.

Sounds like it was written by the same person.

HIGGINS: Mm-hmm.

Ah.

And indeed they were.

They all came from the same I.P. address.

Hmm.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Madame Evanora?

Just one moment.

This place needs a good smudge to clear the energy my last client left behind.

Uh, we're actually not here for a reading.

Well, perhaps a chakra re-alignment, then?

I sense a disturbance that desperately needs to be corrected.

Well, you are not wrong about the disturbance.

What's with all the nasty reviews you've been posting online about Sylvia Dupont?

I did nothing of the sort.

So it was someone else from the very same I.P. address that we traced back to here?

Who are you?

We're private investigators.

Sylvia Dupont is our client.

Or at least she was, until she was m*rder*d this morning.

(GASPS)

Oh, God, how awful.

Do they know who did it?

Well, if anyone was gonna benefit from her death, it's probably gonna be her competition.

I.e., the person trying to sabotage her business.

Well, it wasn't me, I swear.

Where were you between : and : this morning?

I held an aura cleansing meditation from : to : a.m. in Lanikai.

MAGNUM: Okay, still, what's with the nasty reviews?

Oh, I was just trying to keep my business afloat.

Sylvia's readings were so accurate.

Clients were leaving me for her.

So you att*cked her online because she was a better psychic than you?

There's a difference between prophesying and having detailed knowledge of every facet of a person's life.

For example, you, my dear, are once again, on a path toward great heartbreak.

Oh.

No, no, no, we're not...

(CHUCKLES)

We're not together.

I know.

I'm talking about the other man in your life.

Walls keep things out, but not just the bad.

Sometimes a guarded heart is what ends up hurting us most.

And what's that supposed to mean?

That's all I got.

But Sylvia?

It was as if her clients were going through life with her right by their side / .

The only way she could know the things she did is if she was spying on them.

If she was right and Sylvia was spying on her clients, maybe one of them found out and didn't like it.

How would Sylvia even go about doing that?

What?

Remember what that uni said in Sylvia's parlor about the crystals, that their healing properties...

Could only be experienced if you carried them with you all the time.

Got it.

She Trojan Horsed listening devices into the crystals.

If Sylvia was eavesdropping on her clients, she didn't have a vision.

She actually heard Matt planning Megan's m*rder.

(HORNS HONKING)

I pinged Megan's cell...

She's still at home.

What about Matt?

His phone's off-line.

(TIRES SCREECH)

Both their cars are here.

They must be home.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

- Megan?

- Megan?

Megan?

I have Megan's phone.

They left in a hurry.

We have to find them.

The Marcos estate probably had people coming and going all the time.

Any one of them could have robbed the place.

Yeah, but it doesn't make sense that some rando would just go in and swoop Kumu's contact info, right?

It had to be somebody that knew her.

Now, you sure it was Manui, though?

Well, I keep thinking back to that day.

And how he reacted.

What are the odds of the same tiara I mentioned ends up stolen?

Now, Kumu, I got to ask, is there any chance it was your husband?

Kaipu had his flaws, but he wasn't a thief.

Manui, though, he was always in and out of jail.

At the time, he was working construction, but work was sporadic.

He couldn't have been making much.

Then a couple of weeks later, he has enough to start his own business.

Said he won it playing poker.

I had no reason to doubt him then.

But now that you know the jewels were stolen, it's all adding up.

(SIGHS)

How can we help?

I haven't spoken to Manui in over years.

He pulled away with no explanation.

I've had my theories as to why, but...

there's too much history between us.

If I want answers, I can't be the one going after them.

Thomas and Juliet are on a case.

You guys are busy, but can you look into this?

Of course.

I mean, I can't go to Katsumoto without proof.

(SIGHS)

We've grown apart, but Manui is still 'ohana.

Well, we'll let you know what we find out.

We got you.

We have BOLOs out on both Megan and Matt.

So far nothing.

You may have to update your BOLO.

Matt's phone is back online.

It just pinged at Kahului Airport.

He's on Maui?

And he's on the move.

I'll have Maui PD track him down.

In the meantime, it would help if we knew exactly what Sylvia overheard.

We have to find her recordings.

CSU searched her apartment.

Didn't turn up any tapes or hard drives.

I think I may know how to find them.

Most modern listening devices, they don't transmit to a receiver.

The recordings are uploaded to a system that you can access online or through a cell phone.

- Kind of like checking your voice mail.

- How do you know this?

Head of security.

It's my job to know these things.

Can you check Sylvia's phone records and see if there's a number that she calls regularly?

HIGGINS: Right.

Yeah.

There's an number that she calls pretty often.

Sometimes multiple times a day.

(PHONE DIALING)

FEMALE VOICE: Enter security code for access.

The numbers from Sylvia's client list.

- They could be access codes.

- Yeah.

Megan's is - - .

Access granted.

You have one saved recording.

Press "one" to play.

MATT: Hello?

Yeah, hold on.

Sounds like he's on a phone call.

MATT: Okay.

MAN: The Willow comes in on Flight in two days.

Your wife's not gonna get in the way, is she?

- MATT: Nah, don't worry about Megan.

- MAN: If you say so.

- Are you sure you can handle her?

- MATT: Trust me, in two days, she'll be dead.

FEMALE VOICE: End of recording.

Well, it's clear why Sylvia thought that Matt was planning on k*lling Megan.

But there isn't much else to go on.

But you can almost make out the voice on the other end, on Matt's speakerphone.

If we can figure out what they're saying, we might have a lead.

I can isolate and amplify the audio.

You know, for all your doubts, it really seemed like Madame Evanora got to you.

You know she was just trying to get you to pay for a reading, right?

Yeah, probably.

We know she's not afraid to play dirty.

She was right about something, though.

I am keeping secrets in my relationship.

Last night, Ethan asked how Richard d*ed.

And I'm guessing you weren't entirely honest with him.

Well, no.

I mean, I feel awful, but I can't tell him the truth without admitting that I was once an MI operative.

- (COMPUTER CHIMES)

- Okay.

It's done.

Hello?

Yeah, hold on.

Okay.

MAN: The Willow comes in on Flight in two days.

Your wife's not gonna get in the way, is she?

Nah, don't worry about Megan.

If you say so.

You sure you can handle it?

Trust me, in two days, she'll be dead.

This recording was from two days ago.

Sylvia was partially right...

Matt is going to k*ll someone.

Yeah, it just isn't Megan.

Megan must've told Matt about Sylvia's prediction, and that's how he was alerted that they were being spied on.

So Matt takes out Sylvia so she doesn't tell anyone.

But who is Matt going to k*ll?

I don't know.

"The Willow." It's got to be some kind of code name.

(RINGTONE PLAYING): ♪ Why can't we be friends? ♪ Gordie, we have news.

Matt is gonna k*ll somebody, it just isn't his wife.

Can't say I'm surprised by that, given what we just learned.

- Why?

What did you find?

- Well, when we couldn't get any leads on the McGradys' whereabouts, I had the lab run Matt's DNA off a toothbrush we found at the house.

And I'm assuming you got a hit?

To an unsolved m*rder from eight years ago, on the mainland.

Based on the M.O., FBI suspects that the unsub has links to several others.

All the victims had ties to crime syndicates in their area.

- So he's a hit man?

- That's what it looks like.

But acording the fed's he hasn't been active for three years.

Three years ago is when he met Megan.

I guess he decided to go clean.

Except now he's coming out of retirement.

♪ ♪ (SIRENS WAILING)

OFFICER: -Bravo- to Central, advise HPD we're closing in on their suspect's last location.

♪ ♪ Sure you got the location right?

Maui PD searched the area where Matt's phone last pinged...

Nothing but dirt roads and cow pastures.

- His phone must've d*ed.

- Yeah.

And with it, our only lead.

HIGGINS: I'm sending you a map of all the locations where Matt's phone pinged before it was powered off.

If we know where he's been, he might be able to figure out where he's going.

- (COMPUTER BEEPS)

- He made a lot of stops.

Well, hold on.

He started at Kahului Airport and then ended up at Kaupo, right?

But he only made right turns along the way.

He even made those right turns when turning left would have made a more efficient route.

Who does that?

Delivery truck drivers.

It's supposed to be safer for them.

Maybe he mailed his phone to Maui to give himself an alibi.

So odds are he never left Oahu, and the hit's gonna take place here.

I'll figure out where Matt shipped his phone from.

We might be able to track his movements from there.

Okay, we'll work on ID'ing his target.

Manui?

Depends on what you want.


Well, it's a funny story actually.

You see, a bag of stolen jewels that once belonged to Imelda Marcos was found on the side of the road last night.

How's that funny?

Contact info for Teuila Tuileta was found in the bag.

She's your cousin, right?

Look, I don't know nothing about that.

Teuila and I haven't spoken in years.

So don't try to drag me into this crap.

Is it me, or do you get the feeling that that guy's got something to hide?

Yeah, that's the feeling I got.

Hang on.

Now look at this.

There's-there's mud and there's scruff marks on the bars, as if somebody climbed up.

And the window's boarded up.

So you're thinking that somebody could've used this trellis

- as a ladder and broke in?

- Yeah.

Now, listen, what if Manui had the stuff in ' , and held onto it?

Only to have some burglar break in and steal it.

Right?

And if you're Manui, it's not like you're gonna report that.

(SCOFFS)

Not unless you want to expose yourself.

RICK: Buddy of mine from the Department of Transportation pulled the footage.

It's from Manui's neighborhood.

We got a list of cars that are the same make and model as the car HPD was chasing.

One of them belonged to a Kala Vasega.

Kala?

That's Manui's nephew.

Kumu, it seems like Kala robbed Manui of the jewels.

The problem is, Manui won't talk to us.

After all these years, I think it's time I pay him a visit.

The Flight mentioned in the recording must be Gold Sky Airlines Flight .

It arrived in Honolulu an hour ago.

Of the passengers, of them were women, but there is no way to know which of them is the target.

There's got to be some way to narrow it down.

(RINGTONE PLAYING): ♪ Why can't we be friends? ♪

Gordie.

Your hunch paid off.

Security cam footage placed Matt at a pack 'n' ship store in Pearl City.

Plate readers tracked the car he was driving from the store to a nearby motel.

- Which one?

- Ocean Winds Motel, near the airport.

Okay, we'll meet you there.

The front desk says the McGradys are staying in Room around the corner.

Any word from Gordon?

Not yet, but we can't wait for HPD.

How did I know you were gonna say that?

It's key-card access.

You can't pick it.

(CLICKS)

(GASPS)

Who are you?

Easy.

We're private investigators.

Do you know where your husband is?

What...

W-What do you want with him?

Megan, this is a matter of life and death.

Your cooperation is vital.

Is Matt in danger?

- You don't know, do you?

- Know what?

W...

How do you two know Matt?

What-What's going on?

Megan, I'm sorry to tell you this, but your husband is not who you think he is.

Before you two met, he was a contract k*ller on the mainland.

No.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

That's crazy.

Matt is a good man; He wouldn't hurt anybody.

Did you tell Matt what Sylvia Dupont said at your last reading?

Wait, how do you know about...

She warned you about him yesterday, right?

She was m*rder*d this morning.

She thought you were in danger, but you weren't the target of the hit.

Sylvia could've exposed him, so he k*lled her.

No.

- That's not possible.

- Listen to me.

His DNA was found at the scene of a m*rder that the FBI tied to several other killings.

No...

(CRIES)

(SOBBING)

No, this can't be.

(SNIFFLES)

I love Matt.

How can you love someone and have no idea who they are?

Megan...

Megan, I know this is hard.

For what it's worth, I think Matt lied to you because he wanted to hold on to you.

And in order to be with you, he had to erase his past.

I'm afraid there is nothing you can do to help him now.

But you can help us to save a life.

Please.

(SNIFFLES)

This morning, he...

he said he had to leave the country.

But that he had to do something first.

He said I just had to trust him, and that he would tell me everything once it was over.

He booked us this room so that we could leave as soon as he was finished taking care of things.

Did he say where he was going?

No.

But I overheard him on the phone.

He was... he was talking about some woman.

Has to be the target.

"The Willow." Megan, you have to tell us exactly what he said.

He said her husband a-and her son wouldn't be around because they booked tickets to the Atlantis Submarine.

Gotta check the passenger list.

I'm gonna use this laptop.

(TYPING RAPIDLY)

Okay, according to the flight log, there were only six families listed consisting of a father, mother and son.

Five of the families don't have return tickets, which means they were probably locals.

They're not gonna waste time doing touristy things like ride a sub.

HIGGINS: That leaves us with Ellen K.

Travers, from Michigan, who is...

...a criminal defense attorney in Detroit.

That's got to be the target.

Can you find out

- where she's staying?

- Yeah.

- (PHONE RINGING)

- Magnum.

We're at the hotel.

- Any sign of Matt?

- MAGNUM: No.

But we do know who his target is.

Her name is Ellen Travers.

She's staying in a rental home in Aina Haina.

There's no phone number listed, though.

Her family's on a submarine tour, which means she's probably home alone right now.

All right, send me the address.

Decided to meet up with Feds here in Hawaii under the guise of a family vacation.

But her bosses still somehow found out.

They must have talked Matt out of retirement and convinced him to make their problem go away.

Well, it's not like he had a choice.

Mrs. Travers's testimony would have sent him away, too.

So it was in his best interest to make sure she didn't make that meeting.

(MEGAN CRYING)

I can only imagine what she must be feeling right now.

♪ ♪ Figured it was just a matter of time before you showed up.

Nice to see you, too, Manui.

Like I told your friends, I don't know nothing about Imelda Marcos being robbed.

And Kala breaking in here and stealing a bag of jewels?

I haven't seen that kid in weeks.

And if I did, I wouldn't tell you.

Look, if all you guys got is a bunch of crazy accusations, I think we're done here.

Cuz, wait.

What are we doing?

What happened to us?

We just went on living our lives.

Grew apart.

It happens.

There's a difference between growing apart and pulling away, like you did.

So tell me, what happened?

Was it because you knew Kaipu was having an affair?

How could you ever think that?

You two were so close.

How could I not?

Kaipu was my friend, but you, you're my family!

I'd never hurt you by keeping a secret like that.

Well, going from family dinners to never speaking over nothing doesn't happen.

So tell me, if it wasn't the affair, it must have been the jewels.

It was so hard back in the day.

Working long hours, going to bed hungry.

Looking up at that family in that mansion, thinking, "Look how they live.

Why can't I have a piece of that?" If things were so bad, why didn't you tell me?

I would have helped.

You know I'm too proud for that.

I stayed away from you and Kaipu because if I got caught, I didn't want them to think you were involved.

The same reason I grabbed that paper with your name on it.

You didn't get caught, though.

No.

But I was so ashamed.

When I got out of OCC in ' , Kaipu got me that job.

I know it wasn't much, but you were so proud of me, thinking I've gone straight.

But at the end of the day, I was still a thief.

(VOICE BREAKING): I held on to the stash.

Pawned a piece here and there when I needed money.

I didn't want you to find out, didn't want you to be disappointed in me.

So I just...

I just stayed away.

Sometimes family disappoints.

But that doesn't mean I'd ever stop caring about you, Manui.

You know that, right?

(SNIFFLES)

I do.

Okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

We were starting to get worried about you.

Oh...

Yeah, where you been?

I was at HPD with Manui.

Now, that couldn't have been easy.

Oh, we're all right.

He confessed to the burglary in ' , but he won't face any charges.

Well, thank God there's a statute of limitations on burglary.

And since the jewels are being returned to the Filipino Consulate, technically, Manui helped recover stolen assets.

There you go.

And what about Kala's joyride?

Oh, he'll face charges of evading the police, but at least no one got hurt.

Glad everything worked out.

Me, too.

Is that for me?

It was, half an hour ago.

I'll get you a new one.

Okay.

Anybody want a refill?

I'm good.

Thanks.

I'm fine.

Thanks, TC.

I'm okay.

Just thinking about the McGradys.

About how I have more in common with Matt McGrady than I would like.

No, there's a big difference between being a paid k*ller and doing it for Her Majesty's government.

No, no, I-I meant the lying.

His intention was to protect his wife, but he ended up hurting her very deeply.

And I just fear that I'm gonna do the exact same thing to Ethan.

Nah, Ethan can know who you are without knowing every aspect of your past.

Yeah, but it's not fair to him.

He deserves the truth.

Maybe you should tell him.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I have to.

(SIGHS)

I just hope he can forgive my dishonesty.

You kept aspects of your past a secret to protect yourself and the people that you care about.

If Ethan holds that against you...

he's not the one.
