MAGNUM: Hey, Higgy.
Everything okay?
Fine.
Your fridge is empty again.
Oh, yeah, I just started...
eating out more.
It also smells different in here.
Is that a new scented candle?
[CHUCKLES]: No.
No, that was a Lia thing.
Um...
I guess that's just, uh, ocean mist.
Well, whilst I, of course,
respect your decision
in regards to Lia,
I must say, I am gonna miss
some of the good habits
you acquired during her tenure.
Well, if I can give it up so quickly,
was it every really a habit?
And whilst we ponder that zen koan,
do you want to change out of
those board shorts?
Kumu's taking our new client
to the study as we speak.
Got it.
Hi, sorry to keep you waiting.
- Hello.
- Thomas, this is...
Hi, Judge Rachel Park.
We've met.
Last summer, in her courtroom,
when she held me in contempt.
- You were in Kenya.
- Oh.
Mr. Magnum was testifying on trial,
and I asked him to disclose some
sensitive information
about his client,
and he patently refused.
And she threw me in jail
for a couple days.
Uh, sorry, is this gonna be
an issue for us?
MAGNUM: No. No, no.
She was doing her job. I was doing mine.
But I am a little curious as to why
you would want to hire me after that.
Actually, that's exactly
why I want to hire you.
You proved how far you'd go
to protect your clients' secrets,
and I need someone I can trust
with mine.
HIGGINS: Okay, uh, tell us
- how we can help you.
- [SIGHS]
Last week, I was nominated for a seat
on Hawaii's Supreme Court.
- Congratulations.
- That's quite an honor.
Thank you.
Unfortunately...
someone's trying to blackmail me.
"I know the truth about you. Keep quiet
and I'll be in touch."
Right, well, I mean,
we can certainly look into this number,
but it is likely a burner phone.
I'm sorry, we have to ask.
What is this about?
I grew up very poor.
I had to scrape and fight for everything
I've achieved in my life.
In my last semester of law school,
my scholarship just fell through.
I was devastated.
But I wasn't gonna quit,
not when I was that close.
When my student loans maxed out,
I just couldn't make that kind of money.
I went to work as an escort.
It was three months, years ago,
and I thought I'd left it behind me.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Until now.
This appears to have been taken
from an old videotape.
Do you know if any of your
encounters were ever recorded?
[SIGHS] No. I didn't think so.
And I have... I have no idea
where this is coming from,
and I can't go to HPD.
I have a husband and I have children,
and I have spent two decades
building my career.
I want you to find this video,
and I want you to destroy it.
Can you do that?
Well, we'll do what we can,
but being that this is a screengrab,
it's most likely been digitized.
Nothing on the Internet
is ever truly deleted,
so it might be impossible
to destroy every copy.
I was afraid you were gonna say that.
What we can do is
track down the blackmailer,
and maybe find some leverage
we can use against them
to stop them from releasing the video.
They haven't asked me for anything.
They haven't made any demands.
Well, often times
what they first want is silence.
They want to know if you can keep quiet
before they make a demand
that can lead back to them.
Do you have any idea
who this might have been?
No.
Obviously I'm a judge,
and I've made enemies.
This nomination has
put me front and center
in the public eye.
So our blackmailer could be
somebody who doesn't want you
on the High Court,
somebody you ruled against,
or just somebody who's after money.
I think the best place to start is with
whoever made the original videotape.
Where would you meet your clients?
Hotels. Suites.
There was a madam
who would book the services.
Okay, so she could have hidden
cameras before you arrived.
Do you happen to remember her name?
Halia Hickam.
I'm pretty sure that was an alias,
and I have no idea where to find her
after all these years.
You can leave that to us.
Okay, their arms, you pin down the arms,
you wrap this around,
you gotta tuck it in tight.
And then you do the feet.
I think it's the feet.
Maybe it's...
Rick, uh, you all right?
Hey. Uh, yeah, yeah. I'm just...
learning to swaddle a baby.
I guess papayas are supposed to
be around the same size.
True, but it isn't squirming,
crying or soiling itself.
Well, listen, baby steps, Higgins.
All right, fatherhood is
a serious thing.
I just want to be ready for it.
I also have a restaurant
efficiency expert coming by here
to show me how a few
small changes can help me
increase profits at this place.
What kind of changes
are we talking about?
I'm not really sure, but you know,
after two and a half years
of running this place
and just breaking even,
well, I gotta level up if
I'm gonna raise this kid right.
Do you have any idea how much it costs
to raise a child from birth to age ?
Uh...
$ , !
Okay, but I mean, you know
it isn't all due
on delivery, right?
Well, no. You're right.
And that's why you have to be ready.
So it's like baby swaddling.
You learn, you get good,
you become an expert,
and then you're ready
for when the time comes.
Uh...
Well, that is smart,
once you learn how to do it.
But, you know, aside from
all the swaddling stuff,
were you able to get
the information we requested?
Yes, about that, you know,
it's not cool to ask a guy
who's about to become a dad
to find an escort service.
Now, what do you two want
with this madam, anyway?
- Well, that's not really...
- Let's not get into it.
I mean, I know you're both single now,
but it seems like a weird
way to meet people.
Rick. I will literally m*rder you.
Understood.
Here's what I got.
Her name is Halia Hickam.
She was a high-end madam who catered to
an exclusive clientele.
She had an escort service
that went dark a few years back,
and my source says
her real name is Sheila Adams.
Apparently she has
a very lovely house in Portlock.
- Okay, can you send me the address?
- I already did.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a papaya to put down for a nap.
[SHUSHING]
- [PHONE VIBRATES]
- Well, you'd have to blackmail a lot of people
to afford a house in Portlock.
You up for a house call?
[PLAYFUL SHOUTING AND LAUGHTER]
Hey.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[WATER SPLASHES]
Hi there.
Sorry, we don't mean to intrude.
We did knock and there was no answer,
and then we spied him.
That is a beautiful view, by the way.
Thanks. Now, can I
help you with something?
Well, we certainly hope so, Halia.
[LAUGHS]
I'm afraid you have me
confused with someone else.
No. Actually, Sheila,
I don't think we do.
Why don't you two go wash up,
and I'll make us some lunch.
You're trespassing on private property.
Hmm, private property that was paid for
in millions of illicit income,
none of which you disclosed
to the IRS, by the way.
We don't want them
or your grandkids to know
where you got the money
to pay for all this.
What do you want then?
Well, for starters, we want to know why
you're blackmailing a judge.
I was Halia Hickam.
I've been retired for years.
While you were in business,
you secretly videotaped
your clients with your escorts;
did you not?
I made those tapes to negotiate
additional payments
from my clients,
but I would never do that
to one of my girls.
And I'm not the one
who's blackmailing the judge.
But you know who is.
About two weeks ago,
a woman came to see me.
Just like you, she knew
all about my former business.
And just like you, she threatened to
destroy my life unless
I turned over one of my tapes.
A -year-old video of
Rachel Park with a client.
- Did you get her name?
- No.
But she was s,
intimidating, with a snake
tattoo on her neck.
That's all I can tell you.
Now, are we done?
Yes.
Tell Rachel I'm sorry.
So she said neck tattoo came to see her
- about two weeks ago, right?
- Yeah. And?
Well, she just got nominated
to the Hawaii Supreme Court
last week.
So the blackmail isn't about that.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hey, Judge Park. Good timing.
Um, we're beginning to think
that this blackmail
has nothing to do with the nomination.
I know it doesn't.
I just got another text.
What does it say?
They want me to throw a m*rder trial.
[RACHEL SIGHS SHARPLY]
"Throw out the emails in the Reed trial
or the full video goes online.
Choice is yours."
I took an oath to uphold the law.
I am not letting some k*ller run free.
This gives you guys hours
to find them,
or this destroys my life.
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
It's another burner phone.
It was used and then immediately
turned off like last time.
It's a dead end, I'm afraid.
Actually, I don't think so.
The blackmailer gave us a major clue
as to who they are.
They have a vested interest in
this trial, so we need to know
everything you do.
Trial started this morning.
Owen Reed stands accused of murdering
his business partner Kendall Parsons.
The m*rder came as a shock
to everyone who knew them.
Reed had been friends with Parsons
and his wife Anna since college.
Five years ago, the two men started
a small hedge fund together.
HIGGINS: Sharks Cove Capital.
Parsons managed the clients,
but Reed was the golden goose.
He's a quant analyst
delivering k*ller returns.
So what happened
the night of the m*rder?
Reed claims they were working
late at the office.
He goes out to dinner,
he comes back to the office.
He found Parsons bleeding out,
struck in the head
with a statue from his desk.
Reed claims he immediately called
and tried to save Parsons' life.
But when police arrived,
they found him covered in blood
with the m*rder w*apon
right next to him.
There's no sign of forced entry.
Reed's the only one with the other key,
and when the detectives
discovered that the two of them
are exchanging angry emails
about Reed's compensation package,
it's all over.
So those are the emails
that the blackmailer
wants you to throw out?
Yes. And his attorney
tried to toss it out on a technicality.
I ruled it in.
But soon as it's presented
in court as evidence,
he will absolutely try to object again
so that he can lay
the groundwork for an appeal.
And whoever sent the text
wants you to sustain the objection
and exclude the emails.
MAGNUM: And without evidence
of motive, it's gonna be
extremely hard to get
a conviction from the jury.
Exactly.
Prosecution is going to enter
them into evidence tomorrow.
I can buy you guys
as much time as I can,
but : p.m. is my limit.
Well, at least we now have two suspects.
I mean, both Reed and his attorney
stand to benefit from the blackmail.
MAGNUM: And the woman who
acquired the video
from Halia Hickam.
She's probably a fixer for the defense.
You did get the description
I sent you, right?
The neck tattoo? It sounds familiar.
I think I've seen her at the courthouse.
Look, guys, I gotta get back.
Trial's about to resume.
All right, well, just stay calm,
do your job. We'll do ours.
So if neck tattoo was in the courthouse,
she had to have passed through security.
KATSUMOTO: Taken by courthouse
security yesterday
for a visitor ID badge.
MAGNUM: That's got to be her.
KATSUMOTO: Name and address
are both fake.
No photo in the Hawaii DMV database,
but I can tell you she goes by Maya.
- You know her?
- Not exactly.
A few months back, I was
testifying on a double m*rder.
Case was a slam dunk,
then she starts showing up.
Next thing I know,
evidence goes missing,
witnesses change their stories.
The whole thing goes up in smoke.
Seems you were right
about her being a fixer.
Do you know how to find her?
After the trial,
I tried to track her down.
Word is she used to be
a lawyer on the mainland
till she got disbarred.
But that's as far as I got.
People like Maya,
they don't have business cards.
What's this all about, anyway?
You know I'm gonna find out eventually.
To be honest, Gordie,
I really hope you don't.
Sorry.
- Thanks.
- Yep.
♪ No matter where I go... ♪
Wow, last week I had never even heard
of a restaurant efficiency expert.
Now, mind blown.
Thanks so much for coming in.
Great meeting you. Give me a buzz
if you have any questions
about the plan.
I'm ready to start whenever you are.
We'll be in touch.
Yeah, we ain't doing any of that.
I'm not so sure about that, TC.
There are some good ideas in here.
Are you kidding me?
This guy's talking about
knocking out walls,
losing the pool table,
raising prices, shrinking portions.
And what the hell is a -minute chair?
That's one of the best
things about it, okay.
So right now we have
two-hour chairs, okay.
We swap those out for -minute chairs,
we'll more than double our turnover.
By making customers more uncomfortable?
Do you even hear yourself right now?
They're just suggestions.
We don't have to do everything in here.
Okay, which one of these
bad ideas do you want to do?
Listen, this is your side hustle,
but I got all my eggs in this basket.
And now I got another egg
in another basket.
You know what I mean?
I knew that's what this was all about.
Hey, it's not just me. I mean,
you got Cade to support now.
You know, we both need to think
about making real money.
So a customer doesn't get
to park it at their table
for quite as long;
I guess I'm okay with that.
Yeah.
I have called Rick, Jin and every lawyer
and street person I know,
and still so far
no one's been able to get us
any closer to finding Maya.
Yeah, I've also hit a wall, I'm afraid.
I did a deep and thorough dive
on our fixer,
and I can't find anything
about Maya online.
Her operation is
completely off the books.
What about Reed and the attorney?
If they're behind this,
maybe we can use them to get to Maya.
No, no luck there either, I'm afraid.
Reed was considered a flight risk,
so Judge Park had him held
pending trial.
All his calls are monitored,
and the visitor logs
don't show anyone matching
- Maya's description.
- And the attorney?
Blake Garcia, Esquire.
I got into his emails.
He's pretty old school,
to say the least.
MAGNUM: "Call me." "Call me."
I guess that's his
response to everything.
In thread after thread. Just "Call me."
I mean, he never puts anything
down in an email,
so he's certainly not going to
be f*ring off messages
talking about blackmailing a judge.
Maybe he didn't leave a digital trail.
But if he's as old school as you say,
maybe he left a paper one.
You're not seriously suggesting
that we break into an attorney's office
in the middle of a m*rder trial?
All I'm saying is that he's
the only person we know
who could have a direct line to Maya.
And we are running out of time.
You know, now that
we're actually doing this,
I'm even more convinced it's a bad idea.
Which is why we need to find what
we're looking for and get out
of here as quickly as possible.
Anything that ties Garcia
to the blackmail or Maya.
Yep.
MAGNUM: Higgins.
Yeah?
MAGNUM: "Negligent homicide,
two to four.
"Manslaughter, five to seven.
"Second-degree m*rder, ten to .
But the P.A. wants m*rder one."
Garcia's trying to make
a plea deal for Owen Reed.
Why try to make a deal
if you're already blackmailing the
judge, though?
[SIRENS APPROACHING]
We must have tripped an alarm.
We did not trip an alarm.
Go out back. I'll draw 'em off.
HIGGINS: Okay.
- [TIRES SCREECH]
- Don't let him get away!
[HORN HONKING]
HPD! Stop where you are!
All right. Hold it!
[SIREN STOPS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
All right, get 'em in.
How'd you get onto us, anyway?
Anonymous tip.
♪
[KEYS JANGLE]
Hmm.
Ah...
So [CHUCKLES] what are you in for?
You may find this amusing, Magnum,
but it isn't exactly
my idea of a good time.
Hey, that photo booth was pretty fun.
Oh, yeah. Maybe they'll let me
use the mug sh*t on my new passport.
I'm sure all of this is
gonna do just wonders
for my citizenship application.
Hey, I'm as frustrated
as you are, all right.
The judge is counting on us,
and we're sitting in here
while the clock ticks down.
That poor woman.
I've had my close calls
with secrets coming out,
but to have something so personal...
I just can't imagine it.
Which is why we have to stop
that video from coming out.
All right, so I guess Maya
was watching the judge,
who she then tailed to Robin's Nest,
and then followed us to
the defense attorney's office.
And then calls in the B&E
to take us off the board.
Must mean we're getting
close to something, right?
Well, I don't know. I mean, just because
she followed us to Garcia's office
doesn't mean that she's
necessarily working for him.
We haven't found anything to
suggest that they're in touch.
Yeah. And then there's the question
why Reed's attorney is
still trying to cut a deal
if they're blackmailing the judge.
Maybe it's insurance, in case
the judge doesn't comply.
Or maybe they're not
behind the blackmail.
Reed was the hedge fund's golden goose.
Maybe one of the investors
was willing to
help a m*rder*r go free
if it meant it kept
bringing in those k*ller returns.
Yeah, we gotta get the investors list.
Yeah. Well, why don't I
just Google that for you
from the stainless steel toilet?
Are you... You sitting on the toilet?
You know what, Higgy,
don't talk to me while you're
on the toilet, all right?
I'm gonna work on getting us bailed out.
Hey, guard, how 'bout that phone call?

I expect this sort of thing
from you, Thomas,

You were right. Rick would

- Mm-hmm.
- What I want to know is
why didn't you ask Gordon
to bail you out?
Well, uh, Gordon's the judgiest of all.
Plus, he's very curious about this case,
and it's not something
we can talk about.
Well, then, I won't ask.
Here's the tablet you asked for,

KUMU: Mm-hmm.
Looks like I missed a bunch of calls

- Oh.
[LINE RINGING]
Hey, it's Thomas Magnum.
Everything okay?
Apparently not. I was just in court
with Owen Reed's attorney who's claiming
prosecutorial misconduct
because two private investigators
with close ties to HPD broke
into his office last night.
Yeah, yeah.
- I can explain.
- Please don't.
The less I know the better.
I denied his motion for a mistrial,
- but this can't happen again.
- No, it won't.
Look, we're just trying to
find out who the blackmailer is,
and we are running out of time.
Sooner than we thought.
The P.A. just rearranged
her witness list, moving
the email evidence up an hour.
I understand.
We have until : to stop
that video from coming out.
HIGGINS: Okay, I'm already
into the hedge fund's computers.
They had several hundred investors,
including some immediate suspects,
like Yakuza boss Osi Shima.
It's gonna take hours to
sift through all this data
- to find some connection to Maya.
- It's time we don't have.
What we need to do is
find Maya herself, immediately.
- Done.
- What?
Thomas, Juliet...
Let's talk.
Thank you.
Sure you don't want something?
It's on me.
That's very generous
of Mr. Shima, but I'll pass.
Nice try, but you're not gonna
get a name that easy.
I protect my clients, same as you.
Then why are we here?
So I can give you some
professional advice.
You two are out of your league.
I'm very good at what I do.
We did track you down
in less than hours.
Really, how good are you?
Did you? What's my last name?
It's really not gonna be
that hard to find out.
Disbarred lawyers are pretty rare.
True, but state bar associations
are easy to hack,
and records are easy to change.
Mm.
Since you're in a talkative mood,
why don't you tell us how you lost
your license.
What, did you try to pull some
shady tricks as an attorney,
got caught?
The only tricks you should be
concerned with right now
are the ones your client was turning.
Look, she either does
what we want, or the truth comes out.
So let's be real.
I can promise you
this case is gonna cost you more
than you're gonna make.
But if you walk away now...
That more than covers your usual fee.
Plus a little extra for bail.
You're gonna have to do better
than that.
$ , . Final offer.
Sorry. Not gonna do it.
Hmm. Interesting.
You really think this is gonna end well?
Threatening a judge,
trying to get a k*ller off?
You don't know he's a k*ller.
Innocent until proven guilty, right?
And don't even think about tailing me.
I catch you around my business again,
that video hits the web.
HIGGINS: She was lovely.
You weren't seriously
considering taking her bribe?
No, I'm trying to get her to tell us
how much money she's making.
You think she was offering us
a portion of her fee.
With an ego that big, you think
she's gonna go to her client
and say, "You know, hey,
can I have some money
for these people that
are screwing up my plan?"
If I was cutting somebody in on my fee,
I wouldn't do more than %,
and I'm a nice guy.
All right? She-She's not
going higher than ten.
So Maya's making at least $ , .
Yeah. That kind of payout,
whoever she's working
with has deep pockets.
So maybe we're right about
it being one of the investors.
And we now have
less than three hours
to figure out which one.
All right, I'm into
Hans Nakamura's phone records.
I'm sending you the link now.
I'll start hacking the next investor.
MAGNUM: Got it.
I'm seeing if there's any
connection between Hans and Maya.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hey, Judge. You're on speaker.
You got me and Higgins.
Please tell me you have news.
Well, we do, but I wish it was better.
HIGGINS: We've narrowed
the list of suspects down
to investors with a history
of shady business dealings,
but so far, no connection with Maya.
[EXHALES] Okay.
I'm due back in court in minutes,
for the prosecution
to enter emails into evidence,
so I doubt we're gonna make it in time.
Uh, hold on, uh, Judge.
Rachel, look, we are very close
to cracking this.
Is there any way you can get us
a little more time?
Nothing that wouldn't violate
the Hawaii Code of Judicial Conduct.
If this tape comes out, it comes out.
I have to do what's right.
Thank you both for trying.
[PHONE BEEPS]
All right, we've got
minutes. Let's make them count.
KUMU: What did you call these again?
" -minute chairs."
- Oh.
- RICK: These are just samples
that the efficiency expert brought by.
I'm sure there's others that are more...
More comfortable?
Well, yeah, comfy
but not so comfortable.
[KUMU EXHALES]
Okay, that is a -minute chair at best.
So, you don't like any of them?
Hell no.
But my bigger issue
is that you're about to make
a huge mistake, Rick.
The chairs are horrible,
and the contractors are about to gut
everything that makes
this place special.
Excuse me.

These tikis are
from the Sheraton Kon-Tiki Room.
This is a replica of the winning canoe

La Mariana is a landmark.
I know. That's why I bought the place.
Then why would you change a thing?
[EXHALES]
Is this the real reason why you
invited her to test the chairs?
Uh, little bit.
Look, come on, man,
I know you're trying
to stay positive about all this,
but we both know your heart's not in it.
Well, maybe it's time
I start listening to my head.
Look, you guys know I love this place
just as it is, but if we don't start
squeezing some serious profit out of it,
I'm gonna have to go through
with this remodel.
Come on, man.
There's got to be another way.
No, no. It's the smart thing to do. It's
the responsible thing to do.
But it's not the you thing to do.
RICK: Just because I've been
a dumb-ass my whole life
doesn't mean I got to keep being one.
Now, look,
things are changing, all right?
I'm changing. A-And if I don't change,
I'm not gonna be ready for...
Curtis. What are you doing?
- What'd I do?
- [RICK EXHALES]
Nothing. You're fine. I'm sorry.
Look, man, why don't we just...
No, I-I need to go talk
to these contractors.
[TC SCOFFS SOFTLY]
[SIGHS]
Well, that went well.
Don't panic yet. I have an idea.
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
[SIGHS]
Four minutes to : .
We need a miracle.
Well, I don't know
if it counts as a miracle,
but I have found something odd.
To make sure that we hadn't missed
anyone off the list of suspects,
I hacked into the fund's
transaction records,
and I found this.
MAGNUM: $ , withdrawal.
That's the same
amount we think Maya's getting.
Yeah, and it was taken out two days
before Maya went to see the madam.
- From whose account?
- Well, that's where it gets really odd.
The money was withdrawn
from Kendall Parson's account
over a year after he was k*lled.
What about his wife, Anna? I mean,
she would have access
to the account, right?
HIGGINS: Most likely,
but why would the victim's wife
want her husband's k*ller to go free?
I mean, they've all known
each other since college.
Maybe they had something
going on. Some kind of affair?
I feel like HPD would have found
evidence of something like that.
Anna would still be
her husband's beneficiary,
which makes her an investor in the fund.
Maybe she just didn't want
to lose her golden goose?
Or maybe she somehow knows
Reed's not guilty.
Remember what Maya said?
"You don't know he's the k*ller."
Could you, uh, look...
Yeah, get into Anna's
cell records? I'm on it.
Pull up the location data
for the night of the m*rder.
HIGGINS:
Anna was at her husband's office
minutes before Owen Reed called .
HPD questioned her the night of,
but ever since they found Reed's emails,
they zeroed in on him
and never looked back.
So maybe Reed is telling the truth.
He did find Kendall dying.
And Anna just doesn't want him
to go to prison
for something that she did.
Which means we have to stop the judge
before it's too late.

PARK: You've reached Judge Rachel Park.
Voice mail.
She's got to be in session already.
Okay. Better get down there.
[LINE RINGING]
PARK: You've reached Judge Rachel Park.
I can't come to the phone right now.
Even if we could reach her,
I'm not exactly sure what we would say.
Well, that Anna may be the k*ller
and she's about to help
convict an innocent man.
Yes, but it's all
still conjecture at this point.
We still don't have enough
to actually arrest Anna
or to stop the video coming out.
- [PHONE BEEPS]
- [LINE RINGING]
- KATSUMOTO: Katsumoto.
- Hey, Gordie.
I think it's time we told you
what this whole thing is about.
BAILIFF: All rise.
Be seated.
[PARK SIGHS]
In response to the defense's objection,
I've reviewed my ruling
on the admissibility
of email evidence obtained
from the defendant's computer.
[PAPER RUSTLES]
[EXHALES]
For the past few days, an outside party
has been trying to illegally influence
my decision on this key evidence.
Fortunately, HPD is close
to identifying the people behind this.
As soon as they're in custody,
this trial shall resume.
Until then, this court is in recess.
BAILIFF: All rise.
- [PHONE BEEPS]
- [LINE RINGING]
ANNA: Where the hell are you?
Anna? What's going on?
What's going on is I paid you
way too much money to go down for this.
MAYA: What the hell
are you talking about?
ANNA: The judge.
She just said HPD's onto us.
Hang up the phone right now
and don't call me again.
Got a lock on Maya's burner.
Team , move in.
Team , suspect is moving northwest
across Alakea Plaza.
Anna Parsons, you're under arrest.
[SIREN APPROACHING]
[TIRES SCREECH]
Hey, Maya. You remember me?
You're under arrest,
for conspiracy, extortion,
obstruction of justice.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney...
Peace offering.

[CHUCKLES] I'm sorry about earlier.
This whole "being a dad" thing
- has kind of got me freaked out.
- "Kind of"?
Okay, it's really freaking me out.
Of course it is.
You'd be crazy if you weren't.
But the fact that you're nervous
just means you care.
Yeah, well, it's just I didn't have
a lot of family support
or financial security when I was a kid.
I want to make sure
that my kid never has to deal
with any of that.
TC: Look, I get it, man.
You know I do. But being a good dad
has nothing to do with
what's in your wallet.
It's about what's in there.
And you got that already.
KUMU: Besides, I think we
found another way
to make this place more profitable.
RICK: Who's that?
[KUMU CHUCKLES]
That is my friend Kea,
an architectural historian
with the Hawaii Register
of Historical Places.
And like you two were
saying, this place is loaded
with historic furniture and decor.
And it's been in business
two years longer
than Hawaii's been a state.
TC: So,
if we can get La Mariana declared
as a historic landmark,
we'll get a hefty tax break,
and we'll be in all the tour
books and online guides.
And that'll definitely
drive up business.
And without tearing down one wall
or buying any of those god-awful chairs.
Okay. All right. You guys, I'm sold.
- Kea? Rick Wright.
- KEA: Nice to meet you.
RICK: Very nice to meet you.
TC: Mm-hmm.
- Boom.
- Boom.
[TC AND KUMU LAUGH]
[DOOR CLOSES]
She may have been hard to catch,
but as soon as I told her
we'd frozen her accounts,
she immediately flipped on her client.
And like any good fixer,
she recorded everything.
ANNA: Just couldn't take it anymore.
The late nights. Early mornings.
Always feeling like I
came second to the markets.
So I went to the office,
and told Kendall
I was leaving him.
We argued,
and when I tried to go,
he grabbed my arm. Hard.
I panicked. Saw the statue on his desk.
I never meant to hurt him,
and I never meant
for Owen to get blamed.
I'm not a bad person.
P.A.'s dropping
all charges against Owen Reed
and charging Anna Parsons
with her husband's m*rder.
What about Maya?
We've got her on multiple felony counts,
but since she's cooperating,
I'm guessing she walks
with six months' probation.
After Maya was arrested, we managed
to find her place before HPD got there.
We destroyed every copy of
the video that we could find.
MAGNUM: Like we said, once something's
on the Internet,
there's no way to make sure
that it's gonna be gone forever,
so there's no telling whether or not
this could surface
at some point in the future.
Yeah, I've thought a lot about that
since you guys first warned me.
I've spent years living in fear
of this secret coming out.
For the last two days, I've realized
I'm done living in fear.
[CAMERAS CLICKING]
Earlier today,
two individuals were arrested
for attempting to extort me
into subverting justice.
To ensure that this never happens again,
after consulting with my family,
I made the difficult decision
to disclose the reason
behind the blackmail.
I grew up very poor.
In my final semester of law school,
my scholarship fell through.
There was no other way
to make enough money.
I went to work as an escort
for three months.
[REPORTERS CLAMORING]
MAGNUM: I know this
is the right choice for her,
but I can't help but worry
that this is gonna hurt
her professionally.
Some people will judge her harshly,
but for my part, what she's doing takes
integrity, honesty
and a huge amount of courage.
Well, that just makes me trust her more.
Okay, that's great.
Thanks for letting me know.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So, Reed's attorney
has agreed to drop
all the charges against us,
which means that the arrest
will be expunged
before it can affect
my citizenship application.
That's great.
Glad everything worked out.
HIGGINS: You are...
restocking the fridge.
And...
- What is that smell?
- Oh,
that's, uh... [CHUCKLES]
Uh, vanilla tobacco.
- Like it?
- Yeah. It's not bad, actually.
So, uh, I guess this means
that you and Lia
are gonna give it another go?
No, no. I just figured
Lia's not the only person
that comes here, right?
So I should probably
make it nice for everybody.
Well, that's very considerate of you.
Appreciate it.
Hey, um, I'm gonna have a Coops,
maybe watch a movie.
I don't know,
want to hang out for a bit?
Uh... Yeah, I would.
I... I'll just take a rain check.
I, uh, got to look through the books.
Maya was right about one thing.
This-this job cost us a lot of money.
Yeah, well, it was worth it.
But if I need to cut back
on scented candles, let me know.
[CHUCKLES]: Okay. Will do.
- I'll, uh, see you later.
- See you, Higgy.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
Hello, Thomas.
MAGNUM: Is this the
part where you tell me
I screwed up
and now you're coming after me?
Now, why would I do that?
Because you seem
like the vindictive type.
Mm, I can be.
But in general, I only go
after people when I'm paid to.
I was actually calling
to congratulate you
on a game well-played.
Given the fact
that you call this "a game,"
I'm pretty sure
we're not gonna be friends.
We'll see about that.
You guys took this round,
but I have a feeling
our paths will cross again.
Yeah. It is a small island.
That it is.
I'll see you soon, Thomas.
