Magnum, P.I. (1980) s01e07 Episode Script

Nazis are after my Saul.
Nazis? Wuh-oh.
Shouldn't have lowered your head, boy.
Why is it when I find out what people hire me to find out, they take it out on me? Saul was a member of something called the Masada Team.
It's a secret Israeli unit that locates and captures war criminals.
They got Eichmann and only they know how many others.
Thomas, I don't know if I'm ready for Nazis.
Just give me five minutes then you make the delivery.
Ahí Sushi Delivery.
Your wish for fish come true.
Don't leave the room under any circumstances.
Halt! I've gotta get Higgins to the hospital.
'Hello?' Hello? 'Kessler?' I was right.
It is him.
'Are you positive?' Yes.
I think he might be on to me.
'Did he recognise you?' I don't know.
I don't wanna take any chances.
We should get him as soon as possible.
'We'll be there in 24 hours.
' I'll pick you up.
You wanna go to the boat first? No.
First show us where he is.
He and his wife own a shirt shop close to Waikiki.
How about his wife? Yes, she's still alive.
We may not have time for them both.
That's OK.
He's our priority.
We're coming up to the shop.
It's busy.
I don't think we can take him here.
Don't linger too long.
He might see us.
OK, I'll take you to the boat now.
With those fancy shirts, that outrigger crew of yours had better win.
Winning ain't important, pop, long as we look good at the luau later.
Typical Hawaiian philosophy.
To win is important too, you know? You and Mrs Greenberg better be there Saturday to cheer us on.
Mama and I will be there.
You just win.
OK, pops.
- What did you see? - I don't have to see.
I feel.
- Here.
It may be nothing.
- Nothing? You're not sure.
I'm sure, Lena.
I know.
I feel them.
- Oh, Saul.
- We close the shop today.
I don't know how he keeps pullin' that mess off.
- Yeah, well, neither does he.
- Hm? It's all in the subconscious, TC.
- Haven't you heard of body language? - Body language? The body can tell you all kinds of stuff without you even knowing.
You don't believe me, huh? You see the way he's lowerin' his head? The body's saying he's vulnerable, and the ladies love it.
Watch.
Any second now, she'll throw her arms around his neck and bury her head right in his chest.
Huh! Well, for a guy that don't know what he's doin', he sure do it good.
Wuh-oh.
Hey, she got a little body language of her own.
Yeah, well, that's obvious.
- Thanks for the coffee, Rick.
- OK.
Take care, TC.
Shouldn't have lowered your head, boy.
Shouldn't have lowered my head? Why is it when I find out what people hire me to find out, they take it out on me? I don't know but, here, put some ice on it.
That's very funny.
Hey, Saul.
Another hard day at the office, eh, boys? What are you two doing in here? - All the pretty ladies are out by the pool.
- Well, it's safer in here.
Are these the waiters' jackets I ordered? Yes.
With those coats, your waiters will look better than your members.
- You look warm.
Mac, get him a drink.
- Er, two cents plain.
That's seltzer.
You got Lena workin' double time on the sewing machine? - These weren't due till Tuesday.
- She has an incentive to finish early.
Mama and me are going on a vacation tomorrow.
A vacation? I don't believe it.
Mm.
Believe it.
For years she's been harping me I should take her somewhere.
Finally, she said, "You don't take me on vacation, I find myself a younger man.
" Yeah, big deal.
At our age, an old man is a younger man.
So, a vacation - what'll it hurt? So, we're going.
It sounds like she's really got you worried.
Worried? What, me? Never.
Of course, she's been acting very nice to old man Bernstein lately.
Where are you gonna go on this vacation? New York City.
Relatives, you know.
Yeah.
Well, you have a good time, anyway.
- Yes.
Is that my cheque? - That is your cheque.
- Good.
- Thanks, Saul.
- Shalom.
- Have a good time.
- I wonder how long he's been planning that.
- I don't know.
You heard him.
Lena's been planning, he's been postponing.
Hey, my new tux is in here.
He didn't even mention it.
It's not on the bill either.
She must've really been anxious to get on that vacation.
I'm goin' that way.
Come with me, pay him and we'll say goodbye to Lena.
OK, that's a good idea.
- Here.
This'll keep you honest.
- Mac.
Will they keep the shop open while they're on vacation? They might have someone part time to take orders.
Out of business? Hey, brahda.
Bet you'd like a ride to Diamond Head.
Ten bucks round trip.
Ten bucks? No, thanks.
I got a car.
Them wheels are yours? Come on.
What do you mean, come on? What's your name? Miko's the name, pedalling's the game.
How can I help? - You know the Greenbergs? - Yeah.
Just yesterday, they takin' tourists I mean, doin' business.
You know what I mean? And today, pau'ana.
- They say anything about taking a vacation? - Saul take a vacation? - You gotta be kidding.
- I know what you mean.
Tom? This guy says that Saul and Lena closed the place early last night.
This morning, the place was for sale.
There was no answer from them this morning.
- Does this kid know anything? - He's as surprised as we are.
- Let's run by their house.
- You find anything, let me know.
- I like them old haoles.
- Mahalo, brah.
Thanks, brah.
Saul said they were taking a vacation.
We're meddling.
We're not.
- We are so.
We're meddling.
- We're not meddling! Oh.
Wait.
Is that an ambulance outside the Greenberg's house? Well, it's not an ice-cream truck.
- Saul! - Stay back, sir.
- What happened? - Is it his heart? Looks like it.
We'll know better at the hospital.
Stand back.
- Er, where's his wife? - I don't know.
- What hospital are you goin' to? - Honolulu General.
Lena? Lena? She's not here.
- Where'd they take him? - Honolulu General.
- That's what his prescription says.
- That's not far.
- Wait.
What about Lena? - We'll leave her a note.
No! What would I say? "Dear Lena, Saul's had a heart attack"? - Stay here and break it to her gently.
- Wait a minute! Wait! Hold it! Wait a second! How do I break it to her gently? I don't know.
You're good at that sort of thing.
I'm not that good at it.
Now, wait a minute! Thomas! Thomas! Break it to her gently.
Break it to her gently.
He did it to me again.
Hi, Lena.
Saul's got this little problem.
His heart attacked him.
No, that's terrible.
'Janet Clark, please report to maternity.
' - Excuse me.
- Yes? Could you tell me the status of a Saul Greenberg? An ambulance brought him in a while ago.
Possible heart attack.
Sure.
I'll check for you.
No ambulances have checked in since this morning and that was a pregnancy.
That's impossible.
The ambulance left about five minutes before I did.
They may have gone to another hospital.
Was it a private ambulance? Yeah.
International Life Support.
- And his doctor? - His doctor? I don't know.
Oh, wait a minute.
It could be a Dr Kessler.
Yeah, Dr Kessler is a cardiologist here.
- Could you check with him, please? - Sure.
Let me check.
'Dr Sigapelli to Cardiology.
Dr Sigapelli.
' I went to the market for five minutes and he's gone! Where is Saul? - Take it easy, Lena.
- Rick won't tell me nothing! - What's happened? - Saul may have had a heart attack.
- Oh, God, no! - It's all right.
We don't know yet.
- Is there any word? - No, not yet.
Dr Kessler will be here in a moment, but he knows nothing of a Mr Greenberg suffering a heart attack.
And International Life Support haven't dispatched an ambulance since last night.
Where is he? What happened to Saul? Where is he? Please, where is my husband? Oh, Thomas.
- Please be calm.
- Why don't you go and find my husband? Why don't you just go and find my Saul instead of torturing me! - Lena! Officer? - Sir? Maybe if I had a couple minutes alone with Mrs Greenberg.
She's not gonna be very helpful when she's this upset.
- Sure.
That's a great idea.
- Thank you.
- I'll be in the doctors' lounge.
- Go ahead.
- Thank you.
- 'Dr Sigapelli to cardiology.
' 'Dr Haywood, you're wanted in paediatrics.
' - Lena, they're just doing their job.
Here.
- I know.
Have some coffee.
Look, Lena, I don't wanna push you, but Here you go.
- I don't want any, thank you.
- You don't want any.
Erm, I get the feeling you know what's going on here.
Lena, talk to me.
'Dr Sigapelli to cardiology.
Dr Sigapelli.
' I thought it was his imagination.
He kept telling me he felt them.
He felt them.
Wait a minute.
Felt who? About two weeks ago, he started to act different, nervous.
This week, it was worse.
He couldn't even sleep.
And then yesterday, he All right.
Is er 'Janet Clark, please report to maternity.
' Lena, sit down.
Is someone after Saul? Lena, you can trust me.
You wouldn't believe me.
Of course I'll believe you.
- You'll think I'm crazy.
- Just try me, OK? Nazis.
Nazis are after my Saul.
You see, I told you you wouldn't believe it.
Wait.
It's not that.
It's just - Nazis? Are you sure? - Yes.
I mean, how do you know? Lena, of course I believe you, but you just don't hear this kind of stuff in Hawaii.
Why would Nazis be after Saul? Saul was a member of something called the Masada Team.
- Saul was an Israeli agent? - Tom, you know of the Masada Team? Yeah.
It's a secret Israeli unit that locates and captures war criminals.
They got Eichmann and only they know how many others.
- I was in naval intelligence.
- Oh, yes.
I forgot.
If the Nazis were gonna murder Saul, why would they bother - I'm sorry.
- No, no.
You're right.
You're right.
Only they want him alive.
They don't want him dead.
You see, before Saul retired from the Masada Team, he was a deputy commander and he knows operating procedures, he knows names, lists.
They will keep him alive at least for a while.
- It's all right.
It's OK.
- 'Dr Sigapelli to cardiology.
' Lena, we're going to have to tell the police.
- No.
No.
- Lena.
No.
Saul knew we were being watched.
Our people are coming.
They will take care of this.
There is nothing for the police to do but stand in their way.
Please.
Please, Tom, trust me.
Please.
I have been through this before.
Please.
Please.
'Dr Haywood, you're wanted in paediatrics.
Dr Haywood to paediatrics.
' Lena, look, you asked me to trust you.
- You're gonna have to trust me, OK? - OK.
Feeling calmer, Lena? 'Janet Clark, please report to maternity.
' Mr Magnum, did you find out why they kidnapped her husband? - They must be meshugina.
- What? That's Yiddish for crazy.
- Will you be at this Lenai Street address? - Yes.
No.
She'll be at Robin Masters' estate with me.
I will be staying at my own house.
You can reach her at the estate or through Rick at the club.
You can reach me at my own house.
Won't you be more comfortable at Robin's Nest until your relatives arrive from the mainland? OK.
Mrs Greenberg, one last thing.
If you think of anything else - I will call you! - Fine.
Thank you.
They make me so nervous.
Now, why do I have to stay at this Robin's Nest? - Why does she have to stay there? - Because they might try and grab her.
They don't want me.
They want Saul.
They don't want her.
They want Saul.
- You know who's got Saul? - No.
Mrs Greenberg? 'Dr Haywood to paediatrics.
' Sorry you had to wait.
I was in surgery.
I'm Dr Kessler.
You are not my husband's doctor.
Are you Saul Greenberg's doctor? - Yes.
Yes, I am.
- No.
Dr Brandon is his physician, but he's on vacation.
I've treated him in the interim.
- Look.
His name's on the prescription.
- I didn't know.
- Did you prescribe those for Saul? - Yes, I did.
- Does he need them? - They're nitroglycerine tablets - only to be taken in case of a heart attack.
Has Mr Greenberg suffered a seizure? - Ruben? - Yeah, I'm back.
- How is he? - He's still out.
His heart seems steadier though.
You have any problems? No, I left the ambulance in a dirt road off the jungle in Koko Head.
But coming back, a coastguard cutter was dropping black flags in the water.
- It must be some kind of a warning.
- Yeah, maybe to keep us in.
Don't worry.
We'll get out of here tomorrow, no matter what.
- And the woman? - We'll get her too.
- Give him an injection! - What about his heart? The hell with his heart! Inject him! Hello.
He tried to escape.
He was pretending to be unconscious.
I gave him another injection.
Now he doesn't have to pretend.
He has a weak heart.
You can only give him 30ccs within Listen, we know what we're doing.
Is there anything else? I've located the woman.
She is at the Robin Masters estate with a man named Magnum.
- Yes, Mr Masters? - 'Higgins, it's me.
' How did you get this number? I had it changed.
'I was lucky, I guess.
I have a little problem.
' - How perceptive of you.
- Higgins, I can't get out of the car.
'The car? You've wrecked the car?' No, I haven't wrecked it.
I just can't get out of it.
- Where are you? - In the Audi.
The Audi? - Very clever, Magnum.
- 'Just get the dogs, Higgins.
'Get the dogs.
' Tommy, this is silly of you to bring me to this fancy house.
You wouldn't want me to take you some place sleazy? That would be more in character.
- More tea, Mrs Greenberg? - Yes, please.
Er, forgive me.
It's been a long time since I've seen anything like that.
Oh, I wear this to hide it.
It's so ugly, you know.
- And may I ask which camp? - Jadwiga, Poland.
It was long ago.
I am sorry.
Don't be sorry for me.
Because Saul and I, we survived.
But it never ends.
Now they got Saul again.
Now, Lena, we'll get him.
Don't worry.
When are your people coming in? I'm not sure.
Tonight, tomorrow.
They don't give you a schedule.
But they will try to contact us at my house.
Rick's working on that.
Calls to your number will be switched here.
- How does he do that? - Illegally, I'll wager.
He has connections.
Tommy, you still have to take me to my home.
Lena, we have been all through that.
I don't have any clothes.
Nothing, not even a toothbrush.
- I'll get whatever you need.
- You don't know what to get.
I'll bring a little bit of everything.
Tommy, my personal stuff.
I'll keep my eyes closed, I promise.
He's such a good man, isn't he? 'I wanted to get Lena's things quickly and get back to the house.
'I don't know what it was - a feeling, I guess - 'but I was bothered by something.
'Maybe I just didn't trust Higgins with her.
'Anyway, I'd feel better the sooner I got back to the estate.
'What I really didn't like was invading the privacy of their home, 'especially since I knew what they'd experienced in the past.
'I felt strange going through Lena's things, which was silly.
'I'd seen this kind of stuff before.
'Well, most of it, anyhow.
'If I couldn't take Saul back to her, 'I could at least take back a pleasant memory.
' We don't know what we're up against.
This was taken in Suez with my messmates.
That was in 1946, right after the war.
Karl.
It's dark.
She must be in the main house.
With how many others? I only have four shots.
Don't worry.
That'll be enough.
The pictures are wonderful, Higgins.
But I have such a headache.
Do you mind? Oh, how inconsiderate of me.
You must be exhausted.
Can I get you anything? An aspirin? Some chicken soup? You're so kind.
Thank you.
Just a little rest.
I'll show you to your room.
What's wrong with them, Higgins? Higgins.
Stay here.
Don't leave the room under any circumstances.
Stay, lads.
Guard.
Go.
Halt! Go! Guard! 'I broke the speed record on the way to Robin's 'but even so, I was too late.
'And my fears were no longer just fears.
' Higgins.
Stop it! Why can't you go after real intruders the way you go after me? TC, it's Magnum.
Don't hang up.
Just get the chopper over to Robin's.
Are you crazy? Do you realise how much it's costing to have this book-keeper come in and work overtime? Plus, I'm tryin' to convince her TC, I've gotta get Higgins to the hospital.
Higgins? - Hey, man, you didn't finally - TC, I need you here now.
Higgins, how are you feeling, anyway? Hopelessly inebriated.
Yeah, well, I know the feeling, boy.
The drugs'll wear off in a couple hours.
I was able to pull the dart out before the full dose penetrated.
It doesn't work that way.
You got the full dose the second it hit.
It just wasn't lethal.
What happened? I was in the living room with Lena when What the bloody hell? TC, you're moving the bed.
TC! Hm? Oh, I'm doin' that? I was tryin' to get the TV to come on.
I wanted to watch the ball game.
But you wouldn't let me watch the ball game, would you? I didn't think you would.
I'll go to the maternity ward and watch the game with some of those expectant fathers down there.
Hey, just holler when you get ready to go, OK? Oh, yeah.
By the way, man.
Watch those gowns when you get up and move around.
They have a tendency to fly open in the back.
You know what I mean? He means well.
Down.
Right.
Thank you.
- They got Lena, didn't they? - Higgins, it's not your fault.
Zeus? Apollo? They're fine.
They're the only ones who didn't get hurt.
They got Lena without taking me lads? They weren't with you? They were with her.
I ordered them to stay to guard her.
She must've let them out herself.
How many people hit the estate? I only saw one but there had to be another - the one who shot me.
Why didn't she stay with the lads? She's pretty tough.
She probably let 'em out to help you.
I'm tired.
Why don't you go? Sure.
Magnum.
Feed the lads, will you? There are steaks in the freezer.
Very well.
You can have one too.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Do you know where Dr Kessler's office is? It's just down the hall.
But he's not there now.
He could be.
He's taking off tomorrow so he might be catching up.
- He's going on vacation? - Sort of a long weekend on his boat.
Well, I'll just check and see if he's in.
'Nurse Emery, admissions desk, please.
' 'The only people who knew Lena was at Robin's Nest were Rick and the police.
'But then I remembered there was someone else in on that conversation.
' 'Nurse Emery, admissions desk, please.
' Hi.
How you doin'? 'And when I thought back on all that had happened 'things began to fall into place.
'Saul's premonitions began about two weeks ago, 'the same time Kessler took over as his doctor.
'And then there was the method of abduction - 'an ambulance 'and a prescription.
' 'Janet Clark, please report to maternity.
Janet Clark.
'Janet Clark, please report to maternity.
Janet Clark.
' 'A medical file wasn't exactly incriminating evidence, 'except the one I found on Saul had a little bit more than just his blood pressure.
'I couldn't make out Kessler's handwriting 'but I only had to see one word to confirm my suspicion.
'Jadwiga.
' - Hello? - 'Dr Kessler?' - Yes.
- I'd like to speak to the Greenbergs.
- Are they there? - Who is this? 'It's an old friend of the Greenbergs.
I heard they're staying with you.
' I don't know what you mean.
Who is this? This is Magnum.
I've been sitting around in your office, - going over some interesting items.
- 'I could have you arrested.
' That's a good idea.
Then you and the cops can come down here and we can all sit around and reminisce about Nazi prison camps.
- Sound like a good time? - You do not understand.
'Then you can explain it to me.
Where are the Greenbergs?' Can you come over to my home in 30 minutes, alone? 'He might bring in some of his friends, but that was OK.
So would I.
' - The gates are open.
- Terrific.
I suppose they got a candle burning in their window for us too.
Thomas, I don't know if I'm ready for Nazis.
Where's TC? - I couldn't get a hold of him.
- Well, maybe I should've tried.
Give me five minutes to work my way round the beach side, then make the delivery.
- I don't like this.
It stinks.
- You should've brought fresh sushi.
Ahí Sushi Delivery.
Your wish for fish come true.
Ahí Sushi Delivery.
Your wish for fish come true.
Couldn't find anything out, huh? OK.
Yeah, thanks.
Nothing.
Not one call to Lena and Saul's number.
It had to be that Masada Team that killed him.
Well, how'd they find him? Besides, his throat was cut.
It's not their style.
Damn.
What? Kessler was a Jew.
Thomas? If you were a Nazi and didn't want anybody to know, how do you convince everybody that you weren't? Put on a yarmulke and stay away from bacon.
Kessler was a Nazi passing as a Jew.
Maybe.
A little older and a little greyer but they still look the same.
Kessler must've recognised Saul the minute he laid eyes on him.
When do you think that picture was taken? I don't know.
Early '50s, maybe.
'52, '53? - After the war? - Oh, yeah, for sure.
Look at Lena's arm.
Her right arm.
So? I don't see nothing.
No.
Not even a tattoo.
Oh, Thomas.
Kessler's a Jew.
Saul and Lena aren't.
It's no good.
Kessler was right.
We gave him too much.
I'm not gonna lose him now.
I think I hear him coming.
- He's waving to us.
- Get him down here quick.
Juden.
Jew.
Ah! I just can't believe it.
I can't believe that Lena and Saul are Nazis.
I know.
I wanted to think that photo was retouched, that Lena was embarrassed about the tattoo but it wasn't.
We'll know for sure if they're at Kessler's boat.
They're on it.
So Lena killed Kessler? It ties in with everything else.
She let the dogs go, then snuck out while Higgins was tangling with the guys who hit the estate.
No wonder she didn't wanna stay at Robin's.
It delayed her plan to get Kessler.
That's Kessler's car.
It's got a hospital sticker.
- It's the guy from the ambulance.
- His throat's cut, just like Kessler's.
Hey! Wait up! Hey, wait up! Wait a minute! Thomas.
What, are you training for the decathlon? I'm gonna call the coastguard! Saul.
Saul.
Saul.
- Oh, my darling.
- Lena.
Tom.
Tommy.
It is too late.
They killed my Saul.
They killed my husband.
They killed my Drop the scalpel.
Don't you understand? They killed my husband.
They killed Saul.
The bracelet that keeps slipping was a nice touch.
When did you buy it? Same time you had the tattoos put on after the war? Tommy, what are you saying? - Where's the tattoos, Lena? - That picture was taken in Salzburg, on my honeymoon.
In Salzburg.
My honeymoon.
They had no right to hunt us like animals.
That's probably what Kessler thought.
- They are different! - How are they different? They are Jews! They are Jews! We never lived like them.
Not in here, not in our hearts! We only pretended to be Jews.
- Like murdering Kessler? - He recognised Saul.
He set them on us.
Why? Because Saul gassed his mother or his father? Is that how he remembered Saul, Lena? Or you? It was war! It was war! Don't you understand? The bombs were falling! It was war! You talk to me about something you know nothing about! You weren't even born then.
- It was war.
- The scalpel, Lena.
Drop it.
Drop it.
It's over, Lena.
Ja.
I guess it finally is.
Hello, lads.
Missed me, did you? Zeus, Apollo, patrol.
Magnum, some friends of Robin Masters, Australian stewardesses, are coming to town this afternoon.
I had promised to show them the town but after my incapacitation, I'm really not quite up to sightseeing.
I thought I might perhaps impose upon you.
Sure.
I was there, you know.
- Where? - Nuremberg, during the trials.
They all had excuses, reasons for doing what they did.
Even the so-called little fish.
But when you saw the films, the camps, you realised there were no little fish.
I just thought you ought to know.
Higgins.
Thank you.
Of course, this changes nothing between us.
I expect you to respect the rules and regulations pertaining to your stay on the estate.
There will be no wild parties, no outrageous liberties, no unauthorised overnight guests.
