Magnum P.I. (2018) s04e03 Episode Script
Texas Wedge
1
I think I'm fallin' for you
(LAUGHING)
And ever since then, I've had to
keep my cats in separate rooms.
(LAUGHS) Well, you see, that would never happen with dogs.
Which brings us to my original argument All dogs are boys, - and all cats are girls.
- (LAUGHS) I don't think this debate is gonna end anytime soon, and, um, I think that this bar closes in, like, ten minutes.
What are you suggesting? Just because the bar is closed doesn't mean we have to stop drinking.
Great point.
(LIQUID SLOSHES, GLASS CLINKS) (GASPING) (THUDDING) The target has been secured.
Prints? Very well.
Secure Mr.
Grimshaw's mobile, stay with him.
Someone from our team will grab him within the hour.
Does this assignment settle our arrangement? I'm afraid the assignment's barely just begun.
What's next? We'll be in touch.
(GIGGLING) - I'm famished.
- (LAUGHS) I'm gonna take that as a compliment.
(LAUGHS) Go ahead and help yourself out to anything in the fridge.
I get to pick between week-old leftovers from Pig & the Lady and an open box of baking soda? Hmm, is that what you think? Just check it out.
No way.
Oh, hey.
Uh, I was just texting you.
Oh.
You're not Well, I wasn't texting you, obviously.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Hi.
Uh, I figured you didn't mean me.
- You don't have my number.
- MAGNUM: Impressed with the groceries? I went a little ham, no pun intended.
Higgins.
I tried calling you and texting you, but you weren't picking up, so here I am.
Yeah.
Uh, I was busy.
(LAUGHS) You're busy? Yeah.
(SUCKS IN THROUGH TEETH) Paperwork.
- (CLEARS THROAT) - Why were you calling? We have a case.
The client wants to meet really soon.
I did try texting you about it.
Okay, well, I will, uh, get dressed and, uh, see you in a minute.
Very well.
I will see you in the car.
Mm-hmm.
Do you have time for breakfast? Now, when you say "breakfast," do you mean breakfast, or breakfast? - (LAUGHS) - HIGGINS: Guys, I'm leaving, but I'm still here.
Just But I'm I'm going.
(ENGINE REVVING) So, did you end up having breakfast? We talking about food or sex? Food! Magnum, I'm talking about food.
Well, you're the one who barged in unannounced.
Barged in? I called and texted first.
Yeah, but you didn't knock.
Who doesn't knock when they enter a house? Well, you never knock when you come into the main house.
And why is she sneaking over anyway? I know about her.
You knew about her, but she didn't know that you knew about her until today.
Right.
She's a very private person, okay? I mean, I know that.
I think I pretty much have her figured out.
(LAUGHING): Oh, really? Okay, let's hear it.
All right.
She's 30.
She's street smart but not book smart.
She comes from a long line of cops.
And you obviously met her on a case.
Wow.
That's actually pretty impressive how completely wrong you are.
First of all, she's 35.
Uh, graduated top of her class in college and the Academy.
Her mother was a waitress.
Her father left before she was born.
And we actually met at a shooting range.
It was really kind of sexy.
Bullets were whizzing by, and that long hair, you know.
So, you really have no idea what you're talking about.
Of course I don't.
That was just the best way to get you to tell me about your secret girlfriend.
Ah, okay.
Clever.
(LAUGHS) (VEHICLE APPROACHING) - Did you? - Obviously not.
Did you? No.
Ah.
Jin.
Wow, looking sharper than usual.
Oh, that's very offensive, but thanks.
That means a lot.
I am spending the day with my niece, and I wanted to look nice.
And by the way, she has no idea that I was ever a criminal, so no one say a word.
And just go along with it if she's under the impression that I own the place.
And why would she have that impression? - Okay, but - HIGGINS: Hello, gents.
TC, how are you feeling? Oh, the skyjackers were kind enough to avoid any organs when they shot me, so I'm healing up just fine.
Really, Magnum? Not gonna say anything? Uh, yeah.
Why'd you put me and Higgins on a mobile billboard? That's driving around already? Nice.
I mean surprise.
(LAUGHS) Hey, what are you talking about? Yeah.
How'd you know it was me? Well, we called the leasing company.
Why on earth would you do something like this? After I shut down my cash-cleaning business, I had six months left on the lease for my billboard.
I was gonna blow it up, you know, get out of the contract, but I realized that wasn't gonna work out.
RICK: Okay, wait.
So, just to be clear Blowing up your own billboard is not helpful.
Got it.
Okay, also, I figured out that I'd give you guys free advertisement.
You get new clients rolling in, and you're gonna throw old Jin some cheddar.
Jin, I know you mean well, but you got to take the billboard down.
We actually do really well just by word of mouth.
Yeah.
Plus, you two work under the radar, so having your faces on a billboard is the last thing you would want.
Geez.
All right, I'll take care of it.
Man, I got to shake off these bad vibes before my niece gets here.
And by the way, she has no idea I was ever in prison.
Oh, and, Higgins, if she's under the impression that you and I used to date, and also that you're still heartbroken, and also you have a pet name Juju Higgy-bear Just go with it.
Uh, you know what? I don't have time for this.
- Our client's here.
- You never do.
That's why it didn't work out between us, Juju.
I'm a caddie at Ko 'Opua Country Club.
Or, well, I was.
Two sets of golf clubs went missing recently, and they're saying I stole 'em, so I was suspended without pay.
Unless I can prove I didn't do it, my entire future is in jeopardy.
- Your entire future? - I know.
Sounds dramatic, but I play on the amateur circuit, and they say I have a real shot at going pro.
Losing this job means losing everything I've been working towards.
So, I understand what you're saying, but why did they think you stole the clubs? They said a witness saw me taking them out of the storage locker, but whoever that is, they're either lying or mistaken 'cause I didn't do it.
But they believed 'em enough to report it to HPD.
HIGGINS: So, on top of everything, you're looking at a possible felony conviction.
Yeah.
When I was six, my parents saw I had a passion for golf and sacrificed everything for me.
Even took on second jobs so I could join league play.
I-I'd never jeopardize my future and all that they sacrificed.
You got to believe me.
Great.
Okay.
Thanks, Tatty.
Your fridge.
There's food in it.
- It's a fridge.
- But there's never food.
HIGGINS: I finally demanded that if we were gonna keep meeting here, that, uh, Thomas stock his refrigerator, like an adult.
KUMU: Ooh, nice call.
- We all win.
- Mm-hmm.
Did Tatty ever send that police report? Yes, the two sets of stolen clubs were worth $5,000.
The witness who supposedly saw Trevor steal them is a member named Stan Peters.
Well, Ko 'Opua must have security cameras.
Maybe they caught something.
They do, but they only cover the main areas, and not the storage locker where the clubs were actually stolen from.
Still think we should get the footage.
I mean, if we can put Trevor elsewhere at the time of the theft, that'll exonerate him.
It's a good idea.
And at some point, we ought to check if anyone tried to sell the stolen clubs - to any local pawnshops.
- I can do that for you.
Well, that would be a huge help.
Thank you.
Uh, so what's the plan here? Because Ko 'Opua is notoriously uptight.
I can't imagine they'd cooperate with any investigation if it'd create any sense of alarm.
Yeah, they're not gonna want to cooperate with investigators hired by the kid that they just suspended.
Which is why we are going undercover.
And what's your in? Rick's buddy runs the food and beverage side of things, and he's agreed to hire us as fill-in bartenders.
And I will be going in as a member.
Well, the wait list at Ko 'Opua is six months, uh, if not longer.
Yes, but clubs like Ko 'Opua have reciprocal member programs with other country clubs, so I'm going to assume the identity of a mainland guest who has access.
It's kind of a small program, so there aren't that many members to choose from, but after narrowing it down to age, race, and sex, looks like there is one viable member.
Hmm.
You think you can pull it off? Quite sure.
Oh, this'll be fun.
("DO YOUR WORST" BY RIVAL SONS PLAYING) See that stranger coming up the hill Oh, my, oh, my baby Devil's gonna get you if I don't first Take my body and do your worst.
Welcome to Ko 'Opua, Miss Halstead.
Can we help you with your clubs? (SOUTHERN ACCENT): Well, they ain't gonna unload themselves now, sugar, are they? - (LAUGHS SOFTLY) - And "Miss Halstead" sounds like a second-grade teacher.
Call me Harper.
Well, this ain't too shabby.
Your home course is just as nice.
Treesdale? It's fine, but the Texas heat is brutal.
I mean, you can just fry an egg right there on the cart path.
I've heard.
I'm actually friends with the golf pro there.
Oh, you-you don't say.
Well, best pro in the Lone Star State.
We are very lucky to have him.
Well, "her.
" Becky's the golf pro there.
Oh, sweetie pie, you haven't heard? Becky was just fired.
What? Oh, my God, we just texted, and she didn't mention anything.
Well, we are letting her finish out the month until the new guy arrives.
Um, you know, she's probably just embarrassed.
I would let her bring it up.
- Thank you for the heads-up.
- It's no problem.
So, who have I got to massage around here to get a tee time? I'd be happy to get you one.
Tubby Love got your backs, yeah, all right - Hey, um, what's in a sidecar? - Ah, come on.
Even a fake bartender should know what's in that.
Well, I know what's in a sidecar, but do you know what's in a sidecar? Orange liqueur, cognac, lemon juice.
You want to know what's in a gin and tonic, too? - (LAUGHS) - (PHONE DINGS) - Well, these days it's hard to be - You good? Yeah, yeah, uh, Higgy's about - to tee off with the suspects.
- WOMAN: Yoo-hoo! Um - Psst.
- Hey, I think someone's trying to get your attention.
Hey.
You know what? Cover for me.
I'm gonna go meander for a little bit, - check things out.
- Got it.
- Hi.
What can I get you? - Erin.
And I'll have another vodka soda, your phone number, and some maraschino cherries.
Got it.
Uh, I can get you two of the three things.
I pick your number and your number.
I'm not really giving out my number right now.
I kind of just got out of something.
I'm cool with that.
I've grabbed more rebounds than LeBron James.
(CHUCKLES) Okay.
Thanks.
It's okay.
Tell your niece I said it's nice to meet her.
I don't need to, dude.
She understood every word you just said.
Joon here is an expert at reading lips.
So I just wanted to meet here to show her the place.
Uh, we'll be at my booth.
Just bring me my usual? And your usual is what? (LAUGHING): That's a that's a good one, TC.
Uh, and Joon here will have a virgin Lava Flow.
Chop-chop! Aloha.
I saw the "Help Wanted" sign out front.
Oh, yeah, that sign is for a bartender, so, come back in a few years when you turn 18.
Yeah, I'm 18 now.
You don't look 18.
I get that a lot.
I just turned 18 in August.
Oh, so what year were you born? Two thousand and, um (LAUGHS) Nice try, kid, but no dice.
What about a different job? You got a bar, ten booths, 20 tables.
This place isn't even half full, and almost every table needs bussing.
What, are you casing the joint? Just observant.
Yeah, well, we ain't hiring.
How about a car washing service? - I could wash cars while customers - Kid, stop.
Look, I respect the hustle, but, for the last time, no.
Sorry, but we're good.
All right, then.
(TIRES SQUEAK) Hi! Y'all Stan and Ollie? I'm your third.
Now, boys, don't look too excited.
Sorry, it's-it's not like that.
It's just, we're gonna play a serious round for money.
Oh.
Well, why didn't you say so? I'm in.
What are the stakes? Thousand bucks for the round.
A thousand bucks? Really? But you can play and not bet if it's too much for you.
Too much? (CHUCKLES) No.
I'm just surprised that a measly grand is enough to tickle your pickle.
How about a thousand per hole? If that's too much, you can always just play and not bet.
No.
No, we're in.
Of course we're in.
Game on.
You can have the honors.
All right.
FYI, I take cash or PayPal.
Ooh Ah Finally.
Hey, uh, Rick, - could you cover for me? - Yeah, I got it.
Got your drinks.
Something pretty for you.
- Enjoy, guys.
- Thank you.
- MAN: Very nice.
- Appreciate it.
All right.
Ooh! Oh! So sorry.
Oh, my God.
I'm such an idiot.
- You okay? Here, let me - You don't have you don't have - It wasn't your fault No problem.
- Please let me.
No, I-I'm s I turned around, and you were right there.
I'm so sorry.
- I'm new to this, man.
I'm sorry.
- I'm fine I'm fine.
(BEEP) Come on.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
(DING) Unbelievable.
I mean, I can't even keep track - of how much we're down.
- Well, I can help you there, honey.
After nine holes, you're down four grand each.
Yeah, yeah.
Plenty of golf to play.
And that's what I'm worried about.
Yeah.
So, uh, you, uh, thinking about joining here as a full member? Well, you know, I would, but I just can't tolerate riffraff.
I heard there was a couple sets of clubs stolen recently.
Well, that was just an isolated thing.
And they caught the kid that stole 'em, thanks to Stan.
You caught the thief, Stan? Yeah.
Yeah, well, uh, no.
I just witnessed him taking 'em.
He's just being humble.
If it weren't for Stan, they wouldn't have been reported stolen yet.
The owners aren't even on Oahu.
- What do you mean? - They shipped them in ahead of time through Club2Club.
And what is Club2Club? Hey, you want a hot dog, Harper? Uh, no, thanks.
I'm gonna go and flirt with that cutie behind the bar there, and I ain't leaving till I get his number, so take your time.
- (NORMAL VOICE): Hi.
- Hey.
Did I hear you call me a cutie? Well, Harper clearly has questionable taste.
Okay, so I was able to, uh, get the security footage.
I couldn't place Trevor at the time of the theft, but I did find something interesting.
HIGGINS: Hmm.
That is a very nice watch for a caddie.
MAGNUM: That's what I was thinking.
Guy's name is Benji, and I got to get a closer look at the watch to see if it's actually a real Rolex.
If it is, this guy could be worth looking into.
Agreed.
Well, I have something, as well.
So the stolen bags were recently shipped here using Club2Club.
It's a service that transports golf bags between country clubs around the world.
I also learned that those bags are kept in a far more secure area of the storage locker than the members' bags.
That's odd.
If you're gonna steal clubs, why not get the ones that are easier to grab? Right? May I? Yeah, yeah.
It's gonna take just a minute to get past the firewall.
You know, I know you're in character, but, uh, you seem to really fit in here.
Thought you said your dad was like a tough, blue-collar kind of guy.
He was, but, you know, my mum was kind of posh.
So, who do you take after Your mom or your dad? I think I take after them both.
I couldn't agree more.
(COMPUTER CHIRPS) I'm in.
All right, so according to Club2Club, three bags were delivered to Ko 'Opua, but according to Ko 'Opua, those bags were never logged into their system.
That's weird, because only two bags were reported stolen.
Why didn't the owner of the third bag report it missing? - It's just strange.
- It gets stranger.
Most shipments made by Club2Club are round trip, but the stolen bag that wasn't reported missing was only shipped one way.
In fact, that account only ever ships bags one way.
Each time from South Africa to Oahu.
South Africa's one of the world's largest producers of platinum, diamonds, and a bunch of other very expensive things.
My gut is saying that someone is using Club2Club to smuggle a bunch of goods.
Well, the average weight of the bags shipped by that account is 135 pounds.
An actual set of clubs is, what, - 30 pounds? - If that.
Somebody's definitely shipping something other than clubs.
Yeah.
I think your gut is right.
You think the thief knew there was something other than golf clubs in that bag? I'm not sure.
I mean, they could have just been trying to steal clubs and then stumbled upon the smuggled goods.
Do you know who it was addressed to? Because if the thief did know, that could be a lead.
Yeah.
It was addressed to a John Mills, which doesn't match any of the members' names.
I mean, it might just be an alias that the smuggler's using to personally pick up.
Or he could have an inside man.
Or an inside woman.
Why is it always an inside man? Women are just as capable of being inside.
Erin, how long you been listening? Not very.
But it sounds like you're up to something sneaky.
Is this related to why L.
R.
unplugged that security camera earlier? L.
R.
? Latin Rick.
(RICK LAUGHS SOFTLY) Look, I'm happy to keep my mouth shut for whatever it is you're up to if Rick gives me his number.
You ready for the back nine, Harper? (SOUTHERN ACCENT): Uh, yeah.
I'm-I'm coming.
Accent change.
This is getting juicier by the second.
(NORMAL VOICE): Take one for the team.
Right.
I'm gonna keep pressing Stan.
I'm gonna go see if I can track down the Rolex-wearing caddie.
So, how about that number? If you stay quiet about this, I'll give it to you.
- Yeah, you will.
- My number.
Look, I'm not open to dating.
It's not just you.
It's anybody.
You really did get out of something.
It's not an excuse? No, no, it's not.
Somebody very special to me is kind of out of my life right now.
I actually just got out of something, too, but not like you.
I escaped a bad situation with a really possessive guy, and it wasn't good.
I'm sorry you had to go through that.
But I'm happy you're out of it now.
Everyone here thinks I'm just a party girl having a midlife crisis, but the truth is, I missed out on my prime.
I'm just trying to enjoy the life I never got to live.
And after I aced medical school, I was like, "Do I really want to be Oahu's best heart surgeon?" That's when I started investing in Bitcoin.
One day.
It's all tied up in the businesses I own.
La Mariana, my ABC Stores, Island Hoppers.
Yeah, I just don't want to brag about it.
I have a lot of great ideas to make things way better than they are.
Mm.
Virgin Lava Flow for the young lady.
And for you, Jin Your usual half coffee, half orange juice, with a shot of tabasco.
Yay, my usual.
Why don't you go ahead and take a sip, make sure I made it just the way you like it? That's a good idea, TC.
Yeah.
(QUIETLY): Right.
Ah.
"Thursday is Bring Hoa Aloha to School Day.
"Bring in someone special A grown-up, relative or friend To talk about what they do.
" You want to bring me to school? What an honor.
Um, but I'm pretty busy next week.
I probably wouldn't be able to attend.
(SILVERWARE CLINKING) You got to be kidding me.
What are you doing? Plates and cups first.
Terry in the back said I needed to separate the silverware.
Terry in the back? And where'd you get that shirt? It was hanging on the wall.
That's 'cause it's for sale.
Look, dude, you can't just start working somewhere, especially after I told you no, like, six times.
Now take that shirt off and get out of here before I really lay it down.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
What's a kid like you need a job so bad for anyway? There's an old Chevy on sale.
900 bucks.
It's a clunker, but it runs.
Kids like me We got to earn it, so I got to start saving now.
I get where you're coming from.
Believe me.
But you can't just start working somewhere.
That's crazy.
I know.
I'll tell you what.
In the parking lot, there's an orange and brown van.
Now, you mentioned washing cars.
You do a good job detailing it, there's 50 bucks in it for you.
You serious? I said if you do a good job.
Deal.
All right.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Ooh, look at that.
That is a nice-looking replica.
I got a got a knock-off myself.
No, man.
This is real, dude.
- Is that real? - Yeah.
Let me see that.
Got the sapphire dial.
Got the Rolex crown in the back.
Got a Rolex guy you can hook me up with? Nah, man.
It's just a family watch.
Grandad gave it to my dad when he was a kid, and now it's mine.
Well, you are a lucky guy.
Enjoy your round.
(PHONE BUZZES) Hey, where are you? Walking back, and I got some news.
Caddie's Rolex is real, so he's lying about where he got it from.
How do you know? Well, because that Submariner's from the early 2000s, so there's no way it could've been handed down through generations like he said.
Okay, well, we'll keep tabs on him.
My news is better.
You know this isn't a competition, right? True, but my news is objectively bigger.
Kumu called and said that none of the local pawnshops have had anyone try to sell them any golf clubs.
But one guy had a customer come in and try to sell him ivory tusks out of a gold travel bag.
Unfortunately, security camera didn't capture his face.
Oh, ivory would warrant an illegal smuggling operation.
Plus, it would explain the weight of the bag.
Mm-hmm.
We have to notify HPD.
(PHONE RINGING) What do you need, Magnum? So, uh, we're working a case, and we uncovered an illegal smuggling operation.
Who are the major players in ivory dealing? There's only one.
Zev Marker.
He's as slippery as he is dangerous.
Never been able to pin anything on him because we could never figure out how he got his shipments in.
They got something on Zev? HIGGINS: We're trying to track down a bag with 135 pounds' worth of ivory in it.
I'm gonna look into this Zev guy and see if there's any connection.
Great.
The black market price for ivory's about $1,500 a pound.
So that bag's worth over 200 grand.
If that's just one shipment, th-this guy's a big part of the illegal ivory trade here.
I mean, these people are awful.
Tens of thousands of elephants are killed every year for their tusks.
Yeah, definitely keep us in the loop on this one.
If your case is connected to Zev, we need to know.
Yeah, we will, absolutely.
Thank you.
(PHONE BEEPS OFF) What's that look? I like your girlfriend.
All right.
Looks like Zev is trying to hide his financials using accounts with aliases, but he made all his transactions on his laptop, including payments to Club2Club for multiple shipping orders.
- That's our guy.
- Yeah, and he landed in Oahu today from South Africa via Los Angeles.
I'm gonna ping him now.
Wait.
Looks like he's close to Trevor's apartment.
Yeah, and he's moving closer.
HIGGINS: If Zev is trying to track down his ivory, and he's found out that the club is pinning the stolen bag on Trevor - Then Trevor's in danger.
- Yeah.
(SPORTSCASTER SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ON TV) - SPORTSCASTER: Ah, that's a great stroke.
- (PHONE DINGING) 220 yards right on the green Hello? - Trevor, listen to me carefully.
- Mr.
Magnum? Armed men are pulling up to your house any second now.
What? Why? They think you have something of theirs, right? But tell 'em you don't have it, but you know who does.
What do you mean? Who? Me.
Tell 'em I have what they're looking for.
That is the only thing that's gonna keep you alive.
Oh, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, no, no, no.
What are you doing? What are you doing?! No, no, no! No! (TIRES SQUEALING) (TIRES SCREECH) He's gone.
(PHONE RINGING) It's Trevor.
Don't bother tracing this.
I'm tossing his cell right after you agree to give me back my ivory.
As long as you return our friend unharmed, we can work something out, but I'm gonna need time.
I'll call you in four hours.
Nah.
Nah, nah, nah.
I call you.
You make sure you have my bag.
And you got two hours.
(CLICKS) We have two hours to trade Trevor for the ivory.
Great.
Only problem is, we don't have the ivory.
(SIGHS) You got to be kidding me.
Nope.
Did the exterior trim, dressed the tires, and treated the vinyl.
Check under the hood.
(TRUCK DOOR CLOSES) Damn! You could eat off this engine.
I'm still not done.
Haven't even shampooed the mats yet.
You know what? You got the job.
I know.
We already shook on it.
You owe me 50 bucks.
No, I'm talking about the job at La Mariana.
You're kidding.
(SCOFFS) Nope.
You keep up this level of hustling and attention to detail, we'll find something for you to do.
Yes! (LAUGHS) Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay, kid.
Just don't let me down.
(LAUGHS) Hey, you all right? Yeah, yeah.
Joon is playing pool, and I wanted to catch some fresh air.
I'm fine.
Okay.
Hey, where are you going? Said you were fine.
Yeah, but I said it in a way that was obvious that I'm not.
It's called a cry for help, TC.
(SIGHS) Jin, what's on your mind? (SIGHS) I remember when I used to send my sister money.
I couldn't tell Joon that the money was from pulling shady jobs, so I lied about what I did.
And then she started looking up to me, and I lied some more, and I lied some more.
And it's finally caught up to me.
That's why you didn't want to go to her school thing Hoa Aloha.
I mean, I want to, but I have to clear the air first, and that's heavy.
It is, but if there's one thing I learned today, it's that you'd be surprised at what these kids are capable of.
Look, Joon's a strong girl.
I'm sure if you told her the truth, she'll be able to handle it.
Whoa.
Coming in hot.
This about our bet? (NORMAL VOICE): No, you can keep your money.
We just want to ask you some questions.
What questions? And what's with your voice? I've dropped the act, and now so should you.
We're private investigators working on a case that you are now in the middle of since you claimed to have seen Trevor steal some golf clubs.
You're doing an investigation over stolen clubs? Look, I just thought he'd get a slap on the wrist.
I didn't think he'd lose his job.
No, this is about a lot more than somebody losing their job.
- What do you mean? - There was something else in that bag that belongs to somebody who you don't want to mess with.
And now Trevor's life is at stake, so you have to tell us what you know.
Okay.
Uh, look, w-work's been slow.
I was behind on my golf dues and on the brink of losing my membership.
I actually saw who stole the clubs.
It was Jaime, the manager, so I texted him, and we worked out a deal that if I threw Trevor under the bus, that he'd wipe out my dues and put me in good standing.
I didn't think it'd get this serious.
Look, if there's anything else I can do MAGNUM: Yeah.
Unlock your phone.
- Look, I really am sorry.
- Well, you better hope we get what we need from Jaime for Trevor's sake.
- He's running.
- Yeah.
(CAR ENGINE STARTS) (ENGINE REVS, TIRES SQUEAL) MAN: Wait, wait, wait.
What are you doing? Oh, my God.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (HORNS HONKING) You know, that's a surprisingly good look for you.
- Blue car? - MAGNUM: Stolen car.
I didn't have a choice.
(TIRES SQUEALING) Well, let's hope the owner has good insurance.
Why? You're the reckless one.
Remind me how many blemishes the 488 has suffered.
That were my fault? None.
(TIRES SQUEALING) Okay, I have an idea.
Does it involve hoping the car has full coverage? Unfortunately, yes.
Okay, I'm coming up next to him.
All right.
I'll clear the cars behind us.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (GROANING) (GROANING) Where's the ivory? I don't have it.
I swear to God.
- Please don't kill me.
- Kill you? You're with the smugglers, right? No, but those men took Trevor because of you, so we need that ivory.
(PANTING) - Now! - I honestly don't have it.
When I couldn't unload it and learned how much heat there was, I threw it in the ocean.
It's gone, I swear.
Okay, come on.
Sit down.
(GROANING) - I believe him.
- Yeah.
Thing is, we have 30 minutes to make the trade, and nothing to trade with.
- We're out of moves.
- No, maybe not.
We get back to the club, we got to find Benji.
The caddie with the Rolex we saw on the security footage? Yeah.
Hey, it's me.
I need a favor.
So, where is my bag? Did you expect me to bring 135 pounds of ivory? I mean, have you seen the trunk space in these things? You can barely fit groceries in 'em.
You know, if you want your friend back alive, you need to give me my bag.
I don't think so.
You're gonna give me Trevor, and we're gonna drive out of here.
(LAUGHS) And what makes you think I'd do that? Because my partner's at your stash house.
If I'm not out of here in 58 seconds with Trevor, she's gonna burn your mother lode of ivory down to the ground.
Yeah, nice try.
I got a man on guard.
You mean, uh, this guy? How did you? Find your place? We talked to your inside guy at the club.
Benji, I believe his name is.
Very helpful.
You got 30 seconds.
You're bluffing.
You won't burn anything down as long as I got the kid.
You want to find out, you're working with 20 seconds now.
Look, I just want Trevor.
All right? I don't care about your ivory.
Now text your partner.
It's done.
Like I said, I don't care about your ivory.
- They might.
- (SIRENS CHIRPING) (SIRENS WAILING) Hands! Hey! Look, let me see your hands.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING) Go, go, go! (INDISTINCT SHOUTING) Hands! Keep your hands up! Move! (GRUNTING) That's it.
Don't move.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING) I have something important to tell you, and I want to enunciate it clearly.
Okay, so, a lot of the stories that I told you about what I do Well, they're just that stories.
Uh, the the truth is, when I helped you and your mother out back in the day, I had to do a lot of jobs that I'm not proud of.
Jobs that you might not want your Uncle Jin telling your classmates.
Why are you smiling? You still want me to come? That will never change.
You know, I don't know what I'm gonna tell your class.
I'm out of work, I literally have nothing.
All I have is that stupid mobile billboard thing.
That's right.
I'm in advertising.
Imagine all the things that I could advertise.
Like, you know, um, toothpaste or a law firm or, you know, exotic animals, like a honey badger, or, like, high-tech oven mitts.
Who knows? ("AIN'T LOOKIN'" BY THE WILD FEATHERS PLAYING) Love is what you find when it ain't what you're looking for I ain't looking for love no more I ain't looking for love no more 'Cause love is what you find When it ain't what you're looking for How's Ethan? Oh, he's great.
He's so great that he's gonna stay in Kenya for another six months.
Oh.
Are you serious? You okay? I'm fine.
But I would be better with a drink in my hand.
I'm on it.
TREVOR: Hey, guys.
MAGNUM: Hey, how you doing? - Good to see you, man.
- What's up, man? - Have a beer.
- Oh, thank you.
Appreciate it.
Um, just wanted to say thanks.
Not only is Ko 'Opua my sponsor again.
They felt so bad about what happened that they gifted me a full membership to the club.
- Oh! - That is amazing! - Congratulations.
- Cheers.
- Congratulations.
- KUMU: Nice.
Congratulations.
- HIGGINS: That's so exciting.
- Ooh.
Yo, table nine's asking for another round.
Okay, copy that.
Also, who the hell are you? Cade.
TC hired me.
It was nice to meet you.
- (LAUGHTER) - MAGNUM: There you go.
- I've been meaning to tell you.
- Uh-huh.
Huh.
Rick, I tried to warn him not to hire anybody without your permission.
Oh, thank you, Jin.
Thank you.
Are you serious? Oh, I tried You know, now is not the time.
My friend Erin's here.
Erin! - HIGGINS: Erin, hi! - MAGNUM: Hey, there she is.
Me! Oh, my God, this place is amazing.
This is great, Rick.
Thank you for the invite.
Oh, come on.
Of course.
I mean, why settle for one number when you can have 20, am I right? - So much fresh meat.
- Uh-oh.
I feel like The Bachelorette.
(LAUGHTER) Okay, I'm going in.
Easy, tiger.
- Easy, tiger.
- (WHOOPING) This I got to see.
- Somebody should warn them.
- (HIGGINS LAUGHS) - Cheers to The Bachelorette.
- (LAUGHTER)
(LAUGHS) Well, you see, that would never happen with dogs.
Which brings us to my original argument All dogs are boys, - and all cats are girls.
- (LAUGHS) I don't think this debate is gonna end anytime soon, and, um, I think that this bar closes in, like, ten minutes.
What are you suggesting? Just because the bar is closed doesn't mean we have to stop drinking.
Great point.
(LIQUID SLOSHES, GLASS CLINKS) (GASPING) (THUDDING) The target has been secured.
Prints? Very well.
Secure Mr.
Grimshaw's mobile, stay with him.
Someone from our team will grab him within the hour.
Does this assignment settle our arrangement? I'm afraid the assignment's barely just begun.
What's next? We'll be in touch.
(GIGGLING) - I'm famished.
- (LAUGHS) I'm gonna take that as a compliment.
(LAUGHS) Go ahead and help yourself out to anything in the fridge.
I get to pick between week-old leftovers from Pig & the Lady and an open box of baking soda? Hmm, is that what you think? Just check it out.
No way.
Oh, hey.
Uh, I was just texting you.
Oh.
You're not Well, I wasn't texting you, obviously.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Hi.
Uh, I figured you didn't mean me.
- You don't have my number.
- MAGNUM: Impressed with the groceries? I went a little ham, no pun intended.
Higgins.
I tried calling you and texting you, but you weren't picking up, so here I am.
Yeah.
Uh, I was busy.
(LAUGHS) You're busy? Yeah.
(SUCKS IN THROUGH TEETH) Paperwork.
- (CLEARS THROAT) - Why were you calling? We have a case.
The client wants to meet really soon.
I did try texting you about it.
Okay, well, I will, uh, get dressed and, uh, see you in a minute.
Very well.
I will see you in the car.
Mm-hmm.
Do you have time for breakfast? Now, when you say "breakfast," do you mean breakfast, or breakfast? - (LAUGHS) - HIGGINS: Guys, I'm leaving, but I'm still here.
Just But I'm I'm going.
(ENGINE REVVING) So, did you end up having breakfast? We talking about food or sex? Food! Magnum, I'm talking about food.
Well, you're the one who barged in unannounced.
Barged in? I called and texted first.
Yeah, but you didn't knock.
Who doesn't knock when they enter a house? Well, you never knock when you come into the main house.
And why is she sneaking over anyway? I know about her.
You knew about her, but she didn't know that you knew about her until today.
Right.
She's a very private person, okay? I mean, I know that.
I think I pretty much have her figured out.
(LAUGHING): Oh, really? Okay, let's hear it.
All right.
She's 30.
She's street smart but not book smart.
She comes from a long line of cops.
And you obviously met her on a case.
Wow.
That's actually pretty impressive how completely wrong you are.
First of all, she's 35.
Uh, graduated top of her class in college and the Academy.
Her mother was a waitress.
Her father left before she was born.
And we actually met at a shooting range.
It was really kind of sexy.
Bullets were whizzing by, and that long hair, you know.
So, you really have no idea what you're talking about.
Of course I don't.
That was just the best way to get you to tell me about your secret girlfriend.
Ah, okay.
Clever.
(LAUGHS) (VEHICLE APPROACHING) - Did you? - Obviously not.
Did you? No.
Ah.
Jin.
Wow, looking sharper than usual.
Oh, that's very offensive, but thanks.
That means a lot.
I am spending the day with my niece, and I wanted to look nice.
And by the way, she has no idea that I was ever a criminal, so no one say a word.
And just go along with it if she's under the impression that I own the place.
And why would she have that impression? - Okay, but - HIGGINS: Hello, gents.
TC, how are you feeling? Oh, the skyjackers were kind enough to avoid any organs when they shot me, so I'm healing up just fine.
Really, Magnum? Not gonna say anything? Uh, yeah.
Why'd you put me and Higgins on a mobile billboard? That's driving around already? Nice.
I mean surprise.
(LAUGHS) Hey, what are you talking about? Yeah.
How'd you know it was me? Well, we called the leasing company.
Why on earth would you do something like this? After I shut down my cash-cleaning business, I had six months left on the lease for my billboard.
I was gonna blow it up, you know, get out of the contract, but I realized that wasn't gonna work out.
RICK: Okay, wait.
So, just to be clear Blowing up your own billboard is not helpful.
Got it.
Okay, also, I figured out that I'd give you guys free advertisement.
You get new clients rolling in, and you're gonna throw old Jin some cheddar.
Jin, I know you mean well, but you got to take the billboard down.
We actually do really well just by word of mouth.
Yeah.
Plus, you two work under the radar, so having your faces on a billboard is the last thing you would want.
Geez.
All right, I'll take care of it.
Man, I got to shake off these bad vibes before my niece gets here.
And by the way, she has no idea I was ever in prison.
Oh, and, Higgins, if she's under the impression that you and I used to date, and also that you're still heartbroken, and also you have a pet name Juju Higgy-bear Just go with it.
Uh, you know what? I don't have time for this.
- Our client's here.
- You never do.
That's why it didn't work out between us, Juju.
I'm a caddie at Ko 'Opua Country Club.
Or, well, I was.
Two sets of golf clubs went missing recently, and they're saying I stole 'em, so I was suspended without pay.
Unless I can prove I didn't do it, my entire future is in jeopardy.
- Your entire future? - I know.
Sounds dramatic, but I play on the amateur circuit, and they say I have a real shot at going pro.
Losing this job means losing everything I've been working towards.
So, I understand what you're saying, but why did they think you stole the clubs? They said a witness saw me taking them out of the storage locker, but whoever that is, they're either lying or mistaken 'cause I didn't do it.
But they believed 'em enough to report it to HPD.
HIGGINS: So, on top of everything, you're looking at a possible felony conviction.
Yeah.
When I was six, my parents saw I had a passion for golf and sacrificed everything for me.
Even took on second jobs so I could join league play.
I-I'd never jeopardize my future and all that they sacrificed.
You got to believe me.
Great.
Okay.
Thanks, Tatty.
Your fridge.
There's food in it.
- It's a fridge.
- But there's never food.
HIGGINS: I finally demanded that if we were gonna keep meeting here, that, uh, Thomas stock his refrigerator, like an adult.
KUMU: Ooh, nice call.
- We all win.
- Mm-hmm.
Did Tatty ever send that police report? Yes, the two sets of stolen clubs were worth $5,000.
The witness who supposedly saw Trevor steal them is a member named Stan Peters.
Well, Ko 'Opua must have security cameras.
Maybe they caught something.
They do, but they only cover the main areas, and not the storage locker where the clubs were actually stolen from.
Still think we should get the footage.
I mean, if we can put Trevor elsewhere at the time of the theft, that'll exonerate him.
It's a good idea.
And at some point, we ought to check if anyone tried to sell the stolen clubs - to any local pawnshops.
- I can do that for you.
Well, that would be a huge help.
Thank you.
Uh, so what's the plan here? Because Ko 'Opua is notoriously uptight.
I can't imagine they'd cooperate with any investigation if it'd create any sense of alarm.
Yeah, they're not gonna want to cooperate with investigators hired by the kid that they just suspended.
Which is why we are going undercover.
And what's your in? Rick's buddy runs the food and beverage side of things, and he's agreed to hire us as fill-in bartenders.
And I will be going in as a member.
Well, the wait list at Ko 'Opua is six months, uh, if not longer.
Yes, but clubs like Ko 'Opua have reciprocal member programs with other country clubs, so I'm going to assume the identity of a mainland guest who has access.
It's kind of a small program, so there aren't that many members to choose from, but after narrowing it down to age, race, and sex, looks like there is one viable member.
Hmm.
You think you can pull it off? Quite sure.
Oh, this'll be fun.
("DO YOUR WORST" BY RIVAL SONS PLAYING) See that stranger coming up the hill Oh, my, oh, my baby Devil's gonna get you if I don't first Take my body and do your worst.
Welcome to Ko 'Opua, Miss Halstead.
Can we help you with your clubs? (SOUTHERN ACCENT): Well, they ain't gonna unload themselves now, sugar, are they? - (LAUGHS SOFTLY) - And "Miss Halstead" sounds like a second-grade teacher.
Call me Harper.
Well, this ain't too shabby.
Your home course is just as nice.
Treesdale? It's fine, but the Texas heat is brutal.
I mean, you can just fry an egg right there on the cart path.
I've heard.
I'm actually friends with the golf pro there.
Oh, you-you don't say.
Well, best pro in the Lone Star State.
We are very lucky to have him.
Well, "her.
" Becky's the golf pro there.
Oh, sweetie pie, you haven't heard? Becky was just fired.
What? Oh, my God, we just texted, and she didn't mention anything.
Well, we are letting her finish out the month until the new guy arrives.
Um, you know, she's probably just embarrassed.
I would let her bring it up.
- Thank you for the heads-up.
- It's no problem.
So, who have I got to massage around here to get a tee time? I'd be happy to get you one.
Tubby Love got your backs, yeah, all right - Hey, um, what's in a sidecar? - Ah, come on.
Even a fake bartender should know what's in that.
Well, I know what's in a sidecar, but do you know what's in a sidecar? Orange liqueur, cognac, lemon juice.
You want to know what's in a gin and tonic, too? - (LAUGHS) - (PHONE DINGS) - Well, these days it's hard to be - You good? Yeah, yeah, uh, Higgy's about - to tee off with the suspects.
- WOMAN: Yoo-hoo! Um - Psst.
- Hey, I think someone's trying to get your attention.
Hey.
You know what? Cover for me.
I'm gonna go meander for a little bit, - check things out.
- Got it.
- Hi.
What can I get you? - Erin.
And I'll have another vodka soda, your phone number, and some maraschino cherries.
Got it.
Uh, I can get you two of the three things.
I pick your number and your number.
I'm not really giving out my number right now.
I kind of just got out of something.
I'm cool with that.
I've grabbed more rebounds than LeBron James.
(CHUCKLES) Okay.
Thanks.
It's okay.
Tell your niece I said it's nice to meet her.
I don't need to, dude.
She understood every word you just said.
Joon here is an expert at reading lips.
So I just wanted to meet here to show her the place.
Uh, we'll be at my booth.
Just bring me my usual? And your usual is what? (LAUGHING): That's a that's a good one, TC.
Uh, and Joon here will have a virgin Lava Flow.
Chop-chop! Aloha.
I saw the "Help Wanted" sign out front.
Oh, yeah, that sign is for a bartender, so, come back in a few years when you turn 18.
Yeah, I'm 18 now.
You don't look 18.
I get that a lot.
I just turned 18 in August.
Oh, so what year were you born? Two thousand and, um (LAUGHS) Nice try, kid, but no dice.
What about a different job? You got a bar, ten booths, 20 tables.
This place isn't even half full, and almost every table needs bussing.
What, are you casing the joint? Just observant.
Yeah, well, we ain't hiring.
How about a car washing service? - I could wash cars while customers - Kid, stop.
Look, I respect the hustle, but, for the last time, no.
Sorry, but we're good.
All right, then.
(TIRES SQUEAK) Hi! Y'all Stan and Ollie? I'm your third.
Now, boys, don't look too excited.
Sorry, it's-it's not like that.
It's just, we're gonna play a serious round for money.
Oh.
Well, why didn't you say so? I'm in.
What are the stakes? Thousand bucks for the round.
A thousand bucks? Really? But you can play and not bet if it's too much for you.
Too much? (CHUCKLES) No.
I'm just surprised that a measly grand is enough to tickle your pickle.
How about a thousand per hole? If that's too much, you can always just play and not bet.
No.
No, we're in.
Of course we're in.
Game on.
You can have the honors.
All right.
FYI, I take cash or PayPal.
Ooh Ah Finally.
Hey, uh, Rick, - could you cover for me? - Yeah, I got it.
Got your drinks.
Something pretty for you.
- Enjoy, guys.
- Thank you.
- MAN: Very nice.
- Appreciate it.
All right.
Ooh! Oh! So sorry.
Oh, my God.
I'm such an idiot.
- You okay? Here, let me - You don't have you don't have - It wasn't your fault No problem.
- Please let me.
No, I-I'm s I turned around, and you were right there.
I'm so sorry.
- I'm new to this, man.
I'm sorry.
- I'm fine I'm fine.
(BEEP) Come on.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
(DING) Unbelievable.
I mean, I can't even keep track - of how much we're down.
- Well, I can help you there, honey.
After nine holes, you're down four grand each.
Yeah, yeah.
Plenty of golf to play.
And that's what I'm worried about.
Yeah.
So, uh, you, uh, thinking about joining here as a full member? Well, you know, I would, but I just can't tolerate riffraff.
I heard there was a couple sets of clubs stolen recently.
Well, that was just an isolated thing.
And they caught the kid that stole 'em, thanks to Stan.
You caught the thief, Stan? Yeah.
Yeah, well, uh, no.
I just witnessed him taking 'em.
He's just being humble.
If it weren't for Stan, they wouldn't have been reported stolen yet.
The owners aren't even on Oahu.
- What do you mean? - They shipped them in ahead of time through Club2Club.
And what is Club2Club? Hey, you want a hot dog, Harper? Uh, no, thanks.
I'm gonna go and flirt with that cutie behind the bar there, and I ain't leaving till I get his number, so take your time.
- (NORMAL VOICE): Hi.
- Hey.
Did I hear you call me a cutie? Well, Harper clearly has questionable taste.
Okay, so I was able to, uh, get the security footage.
I couldn't place Trevor at the time of the theft, but I did find something interesting.
HIGGINS: Hmm.
That is a very nice watch for a caddie.
MAGNUM: That's what I was thinking.
Guy's name is Benji, and I got to get a closer look at the watch to see if it's actually a real Rolex.
If it is, this guy could be worth looking into.
Agreed.
Well, I have something, as well.
So the stolen bags were recently shipped here using Club2Club.
It's a service that transports golf bags between country clubs around the world.
I also learned that those bags are kept in a far more secure area of the storage locker than the members' bags.
That's odd.
If you're gonna steal clubs, why not get the ones that are easier to grab? Right? May I? Yeah, yeah.
It's gonna take just a minute to get past the firewall.
You know, I know you're in character, but, uh, you seem to really fit in here.
Thought you said your dad was like a tough, blue-collar kind of guy.
He was, but, you know, my mum was kind of posh.
So, who do you take after Your mom or your dad? I think I take after them both.
I couldn't agree more.
(COMPUTER CHIRPS) I'm in.
All right, so according to Club2Club, three bags were delivered to Ko 'Opua, but according to Ko 'Opua, those bags were never logged into their system.
That's weird, because only two bags were reported stolen.
Why didn't the owner of the third bag report it missing? - It's just strange.
- It gets stranger.
Most shipments made by Club2Club are round trip, but the stolen bag that wasn't reported missing was only shipped one way.
In fact, that account only ever ships bags one way.
Each time from South Africa to Oahu.
South Africa's one of the world's largest producers of platinum, diamonds, and a bunch of other very expensive things.
My gut is saying that someone is using Club2Club to smuggle a bunch of goods.
Well, the average weight of the bags shipped by that account is 135 pounds.
An actual set of clubs is, what, - 30 pounds? - If that.
Somebody's definitely shipping something other than clubs.
Yeah.
I think your gut is right.
You think the thief knew there was something other than golf clubs in that bag? I'm not sure.
I mean, they could have just been trying to steal clubs and then stumbled upon the smuggled goods.
Do you know who it was addressed to? Because if the thief did know, that could be a lead.
Yeah.
It was addressed to a John Mills, which doesn't match any of the members' names.
I mean, it might just be an alias that the smuggler's using to personally pick up.
Or he could have an inside man.
Or an inside woman.
Why is it always an inside man? Women are just as capable of being inside.
Erin, how long you been listening? Not very.
But it sounds like you're up to something sneaky.
Is this related to why L.
R.
unplugged that security camera earlier? L.
R.
? Latin Rick.
(RICK LAUGHS SOFTLY) Look, I'm happy to keep my mouth shut for whatever it is you're up to if Rick gives me his number.
You ready for the back nine, Harper? (SOUTHERN ACCENT): Uh, yeah.
I'm-I'm coming.
Accent change.
This is getting juicier by the second.
(NORMAL VOICE): Take one for the team.
Right.
I'm gonna keep pressing Stan.
I'm gonna go see if I can track down the Rolex-wearing caddie.
So, how about that number? If you stay quiet about this, I'll give it to you.
- Yeah, you will.
- My number.
Look, I'm not open to dating.
It's not just you.
It's anybody.
You really did get out of something.
It's not an excuse? No, no, it's not.
Somebody very special to me is kind of out of my life right now.
I actually just got out of something, too, but not like you.
I escaped a bad situation with a really possessive guy, and it wasn't good.
I'm sorry you had to go through that.
But I'm happy you're out of it now.
Everyone here thinks I'm just a party girl having a midlife crisis, but the truth is, I missed out on my prime.
I'm just trying to enjoy the life I never got to live.
And after I aced medical school, I was like, "Do I really want to be Oahu's best heart surgeon?" That's when I started investing in Bitcoin.
One day.
It's all tied up in the businesses I own.
La Mariana, my ABC Stores, Island Hoppers.
Yeah, I just don't want to brag about it.
I have a lot of great ideas to make things way better than they are.
Mm.
Virgin Lava Flow for the young lady.
And for you, Jin Your usual half coffee, half orange juice, with a shot of tabasco.
Yay, my usual.
Why don't you go ahead and take a sip, make sure I made it just the way you like it? That's a good idea, TC.
Yeah.
(QUIETLY): Right.
Ah.
"Thursday is Bring Hoa Aloha to School Day.
"Bring in someone special A grown-up, relative or friend To talk about what they do.
" You want to bring me to school? What an honor.
Um, but I'm pretty busy next week.
I probably wouldn't be able to attend.
(SILVERWARE CLINKING) You got to be kidding me.
What are you doing? Plates and cups first.
Terry in the back said I needed to separate the silverware.
Terry in the back? And where'd you get that shirt? It was hanging on the wall.
That's 'cause it's for sale.
Look, dude, you can't just start working somewhere, especially after I told you no, like, six times.
Now take that shirt off and get out of here before I really lay it down.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
What's a kid like you need a job so bad for anyway? There's an old Chevy on sale.
900 bucks.
It's a clunker, but it runs.
Kids like me We got to earn it, so I got to start saving now.
I get where you're coming from.
Believe me.
But you can't just start working somewhere.
That's crazy.
I know.
I'll tell you what.
In the parking lot, there's an orange and brown van.
Now, you mentioned washing cars.
You do a good job detailing it, there's 50 bucks in it for you.
You serious? I said if you do a good job.
Deal.
All right.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Ooh, look at that.
That is a nice-looking replica.
I got a got a knock-off myself.
No, man.
This is real, dude.
- Is that real? - Yeah.
Let me see that.
Got the sapphire dial.
Got the Rolex crown in the back.
Got a Rolex guy you can hook me up with? Nah, man.
It's just a family watch.
Grandad gave it to my dad when he was a kid, and now it's mine.
Well, you are a lucky guy.
Enjoy your round.
(PHONE BUZZES) Hey, where are you? Walking back, and I got some news.
Caddie's Rolex is real, so he's lying about where he got it from.
How do you know? Well, because that Submariner's from the early 2000s, so there's no way it could've been handed down through generations like he said.
Okay, well, we'll keep tabs on him.
My news is better.
You know this isn't a competition, right? True, but my news is objectively bigger.
Kumu called and said that none of the local pawnshops have had anyone try to sell them any golf clubs.
But one guy had a customer come in and try to sell him ivory tusks out of a gold travel bag.
Unfortunately, security camera didn't capture his face.
Oh, ivory would warrant an illegal smuggling operation.
Plus, it would explain the weight of the bag.
Mm-hmm.
We have to notify HPD.
(PHONE RINGING) What do you need, Magnum? So, uh, we're working a case, and we uncovered an illegal smuggling operation.
Who are the major players in ivory dealing? There's only one.
Zev Marker.
He's as slippery as he is dangerous.
Never been able to pin anything on him because we could never figure out how he got his shipments in.
They got something on Zev? HIGGINS: We're trying to track down a bag with 135 pounds' worth of ivory in it.
I'm gonna look into this Zev guy and see if there's any connection.
Great.
The black market price for ivory's about $1,500 a pound.
So that bag's worth over 200 grand.
If that's just one shipment, th-this guy's a big part of the illegal ivory trade here.
I mean, these people are awful.
Tens of thousands of elephants are killed every year for their tusks.
Yeah, definitely keep us in the loop on this one.
If your case is connected to Zev, we need to know.
Yeah, we will, absolutely.
Thank you.
(PHONE BEEPS OFF) What's that look? I like your girlfriend.
All right.
Looks like Zev is trying to hide his financials using accounts with aliases, but he made all his transactions on his laptop, including payments to Club2Club for multiple shipping orders.
- That's our guy.
- Yeah, and he landed in Oahu today from South Africa via Los Angeles.
I'm gonna ping him now.
Wait.
Looks like he's close to Trevor's apartment.
Yeah, and he's moving closer.
HIGGINS: If Zev is trying to track down his ivory, and he's found out that the club is pinning the stolen bag on Trevor - Then Trevor's in danger.
- Yeah.
(SPORTSCASTER SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ON TV) - SPORTSCASTER: Ah, that's a great stroke.
- (PHONE DINGING) 220 yards right on the green Hello? - Trevor, listen to me carefully.
- Mr.
Magnum? Armed men are pulling up to your house any second now.
What? Why? They think you have something of theirs, right? But tell 'em you don't have it, but you know who does.
What do you mean? Who? Me.
Tell 'em I have what they're looking for.
That is the only thing that's gonna keep you alive.
Oh, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, no, no, no.
What are you doing? What are you doing?! No, no, no! No! (TIRES SQUEALING) (TIRES SCREECH) He's gone.
(PHONE RINGING) It's Trevor.
Don't bother tracing this.
I'm tossing his cell right after you agree to give me back my ivory.
As long as you return our friend unharmed, we can work something out, but I'm gonna need time.
I'll call you in four hours.
Nah.
Nah, nah, nah.
I call you.
You make sure you have my bag.
And you got two hours.
(CLICKS) We have two hours to trade Trevor for the ivory.
Great.
Only problem is, we don't have the ivory.
(SIGHS) You got to be kidding me.
Nope.
Did the exterior trim, dressed the tires, and treated the vinyl.
Check under the hood.
(TRUCK DOOR CLOSES) Damn! You could eat off this engine.
I'm still not done.
Haven't even shampooed the mats yet.
You know what? You got the job.
I know.
We already shook on it.
You owe me 50 bucks.
No, I'm talking about the job at La Mariana.
You're kidding.
(SCOFFS) Nope.
You keep up this level of hustling and attention to detail, we'll find something for you to do.
Yes! (LAUGHS) Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay, kid.
Just don't let me down.
(LAUGHS) Hey, you all right? Yeah, yeah.
Joon is playing pool, and I wanted to catch some fresh air.
I'm fine.
Okay.
Hey, where are you going? Said you were fine.
Yeah, but I said it in a way that was obvious that I'm not.
It's called a cry for help, TC.
(SIGHS) Jin, what's on your mind? (SIGHS) I remember when I used to send my sister money.
I couldn't tell Joon that the money was from pulling shady jobs, so I lied about what I did.
And then she started looking up to me, and I lied some more, and I lied some more.
And it's finally caught up to me.
That's why you didn't want to go to her school thing Hoa Aloha.
I mean, I want to, but I have to clear the air first, and that's heavy.
It is, but if there's one thing I learned today, it's that you'd be surprised at what these kids are capable of.
Look, Joon's a strong girl.
I'm sure if you told her the truth, she'll be able to handle it.
Whoa.
Coming in hot.
This about our bet? (NORMAL VOICE): No, you can keep your money.
We just want to ask you some questions.
What questions? And what's with your voice? I've dropped the act, and now so should you.
We're private investigators working on a case that you are now in the middle of since you claimed to have seen Trevor steal some golf clubs.
You're doing an investigation over stolen clubs? Look, I just thought he'd get a slap on the wrist.
I didn't think he'd lose his job.
No, this is about a lot more than somebody losing their job.
- What do you mean? - There was something else in that bag that belongs to somebody who you don't want to mess with.
And now Trevor's life is at stake, so you have to tell us what you know.
Okay.
Uh, look, w-work's been slow.
I was behind on my golf dues and on the brink of losing my membership.
I actually saw who stole the clubs.
It was Jaime, the manager, so I texted him, and we worked out a deal that if I threw Trevor under the bus, that he'd wipe out my dues and put me in good standing.
I didn't think it'd get this serious.
Look, if there's anything else I can do MAGNUM: Yeah.
Unlock your phone.
- Look, I really am sorry.
- Well, you better hope we get what we need from Jaime for Trevor's sake.
- He's running.
- Yeah.
(CAR ENGINE STARTS) (ENGINE REVS, TIRES SQUEAL) MAN: Wait, wait, wait.
What are you doing? Oh, my God.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (HORNS HONKING) You know, that's a surprisingly good look for you.
- Blue car? - MAGNUM: Stolen car.
I didn't have a choice.
(TIRES SQUEALING) Well, let's hope the owner has good insurance.
Why? You're the reckless one.
Remind me how many blemishes the 488 has suffered.
That were my fault? None.
(TIRES SQUEALING) Okay, I have an idea.
Does it involve hoping the car has full coverage? Unfortunately, yes.
Okay, I'm coming up next to him.
All right.
I'll clear the cars behind us.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (GROANING) (GROANING) Where's the ivory? I don't have it.
I swear to God.
- Please don't kill me.
- Kill you? You're with the smugglers, right? No, but those men took Trevor because of you, so we need that ivory.
(PANTING) - Now! - I honestly don't have it.
When I couldn't unload it and learned how much heat there was, I threw it in the ocean.
It's gone, I swear.
Okay, come on.
Sit down.
(GROANING) - I believe him.
- Yeah.
Thing is, we have 30 minutes to make the trade, and nothing to trade with.
- We're out of moves.
- No, maybe not.
We get back to the club, we got to find Benji.
The caddie with the Rolex we saw on the security footage? Yeah.
Hey, it's me.
I need a favor.
So, where is my bag? Did you expect me to bring 135 pounds of ivory? I mean, have you seen the trunk space in these things? You can barely fit groceries in 'em.
You know, if you want your friend back alive, you need to give me my bag.
I don't think so.
You're gonna give me Trevor, and we're gonna drive out of here.
(LAUGHS) And what makes you think I'd do that? Because my partner's at your stash house.
If I'm not out of here in 58 seconds with Trevor, she's gonna burn your mother lode of ivory down to the ground.
Yeah, nice try.
I got a man on guard.
You mean, uh, this guy? How did you? Find your place? We talked to your inside guy at the club.
Benji, I believe his name is.
Very helpful.
You got 30 seconds.
You're bluffing.
You won't burn anything down as long as I got the kid.
You want to find out, you're working with 20 seconds now.
Look, I just want Trevor.
All right? I don't care about your ivory.
Now text your partner.
It's done.
Like I said, I don't care about your ivory.
- They might.
- (SIRENS CHIRPING) (SIRENS WAILING) Hands! Hey! Look, let me see your hands.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING) Go, go, go! (INDISTINCT SHOUTING) Hands! Keep your hands up! Move! (GRUNTING) That's it.
Don't move.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING) I have something important to tell you, and I want to enunciate it clearly.
Okay, so, a lot of the stories that I told you about what I do Well, they're just that stories.
Uh, the the truth is, when I helped you and your mother out back in the day, I had to do a lot of jobs that I'm not proud of.
Jobs that you might not want your Uncle Jin telling your classmates.
Why are you smiling? You still want me to come? That will never change.
You know, I don't know what I'm gonna tell your class.
I'm out of work, I literally have nothing.
All I have is that stupid mobile billboard thing.
That's right.
I'm in advertising.
Imagine all the things that I could advertise.
Like, you know, um, toothpaste or a law firm or, you know, exotic animals, like a honey badger, or, like, high-tech oven mitts.
Who knows? ("AIN'T LOOKIN'" BY THE WILD FEATHERS PLAYING) Love is what you find when it ain't what you're looking for I ain't looking for love no more I ain't looking for love no more 'Cause love is what you find When it ain't what you're looking for How's Ethan? Oh, he's great.
He's so great that he's gonna stay in Kenya for another six months.
Oh.
Are you serious? You okay? I'm fine.
But I would be better with a drink in my hand.
I'm on it.
TREVOR: Hey, guys.
MAGNUM: Hey, how you doing? - Good to see you, man.
- What's up, man? - Have a beer.
- Oh, thank you.
Appreciate it.
Um, just wanted to say thanks.
Not only is Ko 'Opua my sponsor again.
They felt so bad about what happened that they gifted me a full membership to the club.
- Oh! - That is amazing! - Congratulations.
- Cheers.
- Congratulations.
- KUMU: Nice.
Congratulations.
- HIGGINS: That's so exciting.
- Ooh.
Yo, table nine's asking for another round.
Okay, copy that.
Also, who the hell are you? Cade.

It was nice to meet you.
- (LAUGHTER) - MAGNUM: There you go.
- I've been meaning to tell you.
- Uh-huh.
Huh.

Oh, thank you, Jin.
Thank you.
Are you serious? Oh, I tried You know, now is not the time.

Me! Oh, my God, this place is amazing.
This is great, Rick.
Thank you for the invite.
Oh, come on.
Of course.
I mean, why settle for one number when you can have 20, am I right? - So much fresh meat.
- Uh-oh.
I feel like The Bachelorette.
(LAUGHTER) Okay, I'm going in.
Easy, tiger.
- Easy, tiger.
- (WHOOPING) This I got to see.
- Somebody should warn them.
