Magnum, P.I. (1980) s04e09 Episode Script
The Look
Everybody had some idea of about who I was, who they wanted me to be.
They hear my voice on the radio, they think they know me.
They want to know you.
We got the obscene phone caIIer.
He's not your pervert.
He's a private eye.
Do you have a request? See, HoIIy Fox.
There's one way to find out.
CaII the station and ask.
$20 says you're wrong.
Is she more Iike CiceIy Tyson or Chaka Khan? What difference does it make what she Iooks Iike? (man) Get out of Hawaii.
[engine revving.]
(Holly on radio) Good morning, Honolulu.
I'm coming to you on KTDE.
Rock and rolling with golden oldies, Remember when? **[Sitting on the Dock of the Bay pIaying on radio.]
(Magnum) Interesting fact about life, number 32 things are not always what they seem.
Take for instance the collection of stuff I was carrying in the back.
Looked at individually, it was just lumber, nails, and paint.
Put together with just the right touches it was going to be a work of art.
It was Robin Masters' idea.
He had called me from Zurich and told me to spare no expense.
I couldn't decide if I was having more fun planning the party or watching Higgins try to figure out what I was up to.
(Holly on radio) Otis Redding's Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.
What a nice day for it too.
It's 70 degrees and clear in Honolulu.
Nothing new about that or this next tune for that matter.
But I think we can all relate to it.
I know I can.
Can you? **[rock music pIaying on radio.]
It's not HoIIy Fox.
HoIIy Fox has dark hair.
Oh, man, now you see what ignorance does to a guy.
Never even seen the Iady, trying to teII me she got dark hair.
She's a redhead, man.
A naturaI.
How do you know, Griff? Griff's trying to pass this off as HoIIy Fox.
That's not HoIIy.
That's Ann Margret.
Ann Margret! You ain't the onIy guy to see Bob Hope's Christmas show, you know.
This ain't Ann Margaret.
No one eIse has a smiIe Iike that.
Besides, HoIIy Fox is a brunette.
See? Oh, man, I'm teIIing you-- She's about six feet taII, with Iegs up to here.
You're crazy.
She's 5 foot 2.
Where'd you hear that? (Rick) I got it at very good authority.
Oh, man.
(T.
C.
) No, no, no.
OnIy someone who's taII, bIack and beautifuI wouId caII themseIves a fox.
Oh, now, you dreaming the wrong coIor, brother.
Listen, you guys gotta trust me here.
This is her.
Wait, wait.
Just Iisten.
(Holly) I can imagine what it makes some guys so hard to satisfy.
Holly Fox, back here with you.
Dedicating this next one to PFC Michael Forest Hyman in the fourth squad, second platoon, Bravo company.
Second of the Seventh.
Brunette.
Short! BIack.
Redhead.
Go get them guys.
Listen, guys, they're teIIing you that HoIIy Hudson on KTDE is reaIIy HoIIy Fox.
Not a chance.
I heard HoIIy Fox married an Air Force generaI after the war.
What an Air Force generaI's wife be doing on an oIdies-but-goodies station out here? WeII, maybe she got divorced, or changed her name.
(T.
C.
) Hey, he's got a point there.
UnIess a DJ changes his image, he's yesterday's news.
I knew this guy once, on the mainIand, DJ he used to caII himseIf, ''The Shah of SouI.
'' Then we got in aII this troubIe with Iran.
Hey, maybe that's what happened to HoIIy.
Got tired of being caIIed the Saigon Fox.
I never caIIed her that.
I used to caII her the queen of my dreams.
Hey, don't overexert yourseIf.
(Holly) I know that one will always be.
Listen.
TeII me that isn't her.
Words like those just seem to be timeless, don't they? That was dedicated to a special friend of my very own, Mr.
Don Cassidy from Holly.
Remember me? If you're out there listening, Don do like the lady says and call me at the station.
Coming up, the news.
See? HoIIy Fox.
(Rick) No.
It can't be.
(T.
C.
) WeII, there's one way to find out.
CaII the station and ask.
$20 says you're wrong.
Even money.
$20? Put your money where your mouth is.
WeII, I'm a IittIe tapped out right now.
(T.
C.
) Now there's a newsfIash.
What, with aII the party expenses and aII? I'II teII you what.
I'm expecting a check from a cIient.
If you can trust me, you got a bet.
Okay, you're on.
[Iaughing.]
Great.
I'm gonna caII her.
What kind of a sucker bet is that? You're gonna trust him? Oh, he's good for it.
When was the Iast time you heard of him coIIecting from a cIient? [birds chirping.]
[whistIes.]
Hey, Thomas! Wait! Wait a minute.
No, he's good for it.
[Higgins coughing.]
[door opening.]
Hi, Higgins.
You're Iooking chipper.
Chipper? Chipper? This is how he describes the countenance of a man in anguish.
''Chipper.
'' You're not feeIing chipper? On the contrary my coId's taken a decided turn for the worse.
What is it that you're Iooking for? Phone number.
There are at Ieast in this house.
Why must you come in here to make a caII? You know, maybe you shouId take some sun.
That might fix you right up.
Busy.
Sun? Yeah.
You know, Iook better, feeI better.
are psychosomatic.
How reassuring.
When I want your medicaI diagnosis, I'II ask for it and I assure you, that won't happen.
Gee, Higgins, I've never seen you Iike this before.
You've been moping around for days.
What happened to that oId stiff upper Iip? Stiff upper Iip? How am I to keep a stiff upper Iip when my own empIoyer has demonstrated that he has Iost aII faith in my administrative abiIities? What are you taIking about? For some reason, Mr.
Masters seems unwiIIing to divuIge to me the nature of that monstrosity you're constructing-- Monstrosity? It happens to be-- ObviousIy, he no Ionger trusts my judgment in matters pertaining to the running of the estate.
Oh, Higgins.
You don't reaIIy have a coId at aII, do you? You're feeIing Ieft out.
[scoffs.]
Left out.
HardIy.
Okay.
If you reaIIy must know I'II teII you what I'm buiIding.
Just as soon as I've finished it.
But now, I've got to go on a personaI mission.
Can I pick anything up for you? [typewriter cyIinder whirring.]
Thank you.
Throat spray atomizer, six ounce.
Two tins coId Iozenges.
Tins? Two tins? Mrs.
Cywanowitz's canned chicken soup, honey, tea, three bottIes rose water one bottIe cognac, pop up tissues, nasaI decongestant one Iarge tin uncIe size sweetened succotash? Succotash, Higgins? [Higgins coughing.]
Mr.
Magnum! Long time no see.
[Iaughing.]
Since I Iet you break into that computer pIace I was guarding.
Chinese New Year's.
I'm surprised to see you here, RaIph.
Oh, I've been working here a coupIe of months.
[poIice radio chattering.]
You here about HoIIy Hudson? Yeah.
I am.
Shame, isn't it? Nice Iady Iike that shouIdn't have to be subjected to some sicko caIIing in, threatening her.
But you'II catch him, Mr.
Magnum.
I know you wiII.
Oh, yeah.
WeII.
Meantime, I'm here to see no one gets through that door doesn't have business here.
Great.
Keep up the good work, RaIph.
**[soft rock music pIaying on radio.]
Hi.
Yes? Oh I just wanted to say heIIo.
HeIIo.
You know what, I mean, I drove up here to meet you.
I tried caIIing.
You caIIed? Yeah, after I heard you on the radio.
I'm sorry.
I'm Thomas Magnum.
And you're HoIIy Fox.
Benny, get RaIph in here.
I mean, of course, you're HoIIy Hudson.
But I remembered you as HoIIy Fox in Nam.
On the radio.
Benny, the guy who's been caIIing HoIIy is here.
You're not HoIIy? (Lori) No, don't come near me! Don't move.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
AII right, sIeazo, hoId it right there.
Don't try anything funny.
Security's on its way.
No.
You don't understand.
No, I understand you were making phone caIIs to the station.
No, not those phone calls.
I don't see how he couId've got past me, Mr.
Bryant.
We got the obscene phone caIIer.
No, you don't.
You got the wrong guy.
RaIph, wiII you expIain? You got the wrong guy here, Mr.
Bryant.
He's not your pervert.
He's a private eye.
Investigator.
(Benny) Yeah? Yeah.
This here's Mr.
Bryant, the station manager.
Hey, I thought you was working for him.
Sorry, no.
I'm Iooking for HoIIy Hudson.
Forget it, she's not seeing anybody.
(HoIIy) I'II handIe this, Benny.
You sure? Okay.
I'm sorry.
Sorry about the misunderstanding.
Come on in.
Benny's been getting a IittIe worried about me IateIy.
I've been getting some pretty freaky phone caIIs.
**[She's Not There pIaying on radio.]
You mean you're.
Here it comes.
No, you're not.
Right on scheduIe.
You're HoIIy Fox? And there it is.
That Iook.
What Iook? [HoIIy Iaughing.]
That Iook.
The Iook that's on your face right now.
The Iook I stopped counting about the 1000th time I saw it.
The Iook that says ''Hey, Iady, you can't be HoIIy Fox.
''HoIIy Fox takes your breath away.
She's an angeI.
''A tiger ''a geisha girI, a centerfoId.
'' Did I Ieave out your fantasy? No.
I mean, I didn't have one.
[Iaughing.]
I'm sure you did.
Everyone does.
WouId you Iike some coffee? No, thanks.
Everyone is Iooking for the provocative aIIuring, appeaIing unbeIievabIe Nighttime Edition of HoIIy Fox.
I'm the Morning Edition.
I've aIso gone back to my reaI name HoIIy Hudson.
Thomas Magnum.
And I think the Morning Edition is just terrific as is.
Listen, is there anything I can do to heIp you find this guy who's been caIIing in? Oh, you can't take crank phone caIIs too seriousIy.
Sort of comes with the territory.
No big deaI.
WeII It's nice meeting you.
Wait a minute.
Maybe there is something you couId heIp me with.
There is somebody I've been Iooking for for a Iong time.
Don Cassidy.
Saigon.
'7 1 .
He was an Army SuppIy Sergeant.
Just after that picture was taken, he dropped out of sight.
WeII, Army SuppIy sergeants don't just drop out of sight.
Did he see action? Maybe he got hurt.
Not a scratch.
He ran a depot.
We were in Iove, you know.
We were going to be married before the end of the war.
And then he got in troubIe with the Army.
He toId me he was gonna drop out of sight just untiI his name got cIeared.
Of what? Army said he stoIe things.
He didn't.
He was set up.
It was 1 2 years ago.
I've been Iooking for him ever since.
Can I keep this? Sure.
I got another copy.
Excuse me.
What? Excuse me.
Oh! I'm sorry.
(HoIIy) WeII, she may not be there, but you'II aIways have me.
HoIIy Hudson back here with you and I'd Iike to dedicate this next one to oId friends who've just met.
**[Yesterday pIaying on radio.]
This is great! Oh, just a minute.
[Iaughing.]
It's okay.
Everything is prerecorded.
We don't do much Iive anymore.
Oh.
Listen, what makes you think he's in Hawaii? A good friend of mine, Joanie Mead, said she saw him.
She's a traveI agent.
[teIephone buzzing.]
KTDE, wouId you Iike to make a request? (man) Get off the air.
I beg your pardon? Unless you wanna find out how hard it is to broadcast with your throat cut get out of Hawaii.
(Magnum) Being threatened on the telephone is kind of like being attacked in the middle of the night.
It's all the more frightening because you can't see your enemy.
But Holly insisted the caller was harmless.
Her only concern was finding Cassidy.
I told her I'd do what I could.
But first, I had to find a way to convince Rick and T.
C to finish Higgins' surprise without me.
Hi, Higgins.
GIad to see you took my advice.
Which advice was that? To get some sun.
You're Iooking much better aIready.
[scoffs.]
Am I? How crueI fate can be.
Just when a man is at his Iowest ebb to give others the deceitfuI appearance that he's returning to the pink of heaIth.
Come on, Higgins.
You're Iaying it on a IittIe thick, aren't you? I mean, it's just a coId.
Indeed.
Just a coId.
[hammer tapping.]
I got the things you asked me to pick up for you.
I even got succotash.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find tins of sweetened succotash these days? Thank you, Magnum.
That reaIIy is most kind of you even though it is probabIy too IittIe too Iate.
I hope you're feeIing better soon.
I say, Magnum? This edifice you're constructing, the.
What did you caII it again? I didn't.
Quite.
Say, Magnum I mereIy wanted to teII you not to, under any circumstances, feeI any guiIt or remorse over bIocking the view.
AII right.
Nor shouId it concern you that in my aIready weakened state I am unabIe to get the rest I so desperateIy need due to the sound of construction.
Good.
Anything eIse? Not for the moment.
A cIue.
It's a kind of commemorative.
Commemorative.
Hi, guys.
It's about time you showed up, Thomas.
Higgins has been badgering us ever since you Ieft.
Yeah.
But not to worry, Thomas.
We did not crack.
WeII, what do you think? What can I teII you, guys? You're reaIIy doing a terrific job here.
ReaIIy.
Oh, yeah.
That's enough about the Iumber for a minute.
And I wish I couId stay here and heIp you finish.
Did you see her? [Rick Iaughing.]
I toId you my $20 was safe.
It wasn't her, was it? Wait a minute.
What do you mean, you wish you couId stay? You're not trying to run out on us again, are you? I'm sorry, but a big case has come up.
I wouIdn't Ieave you here unIess it was reaI important.
What big case? What about HoIIy? HoIIy? Yes, HoIIy Fox a.
k.
a.
HoIIy Hudson? Oh, that HoIIy? WeII, I'm bringing her by here to meet you two at 4:00.
See, I figure you'II be through here by then.
You met HoIIy Fox? Yeah, what's she Iike? It's reaI important that you finish here today.
She isn't taII, is she? Because the guys from ScaIe ModeIs UnIimited are coming here in the morning.
Is she Iook more Iike CiceIy Tyson or Chaka Khan? What difference does it make what she Iooks Iike? If she's taII or short, or bIonde or.
Look, she's an attractive, funny interesting woman.
And she's reaIIy down to earth.
And she's in Iove.
With you, I suppose.
No.
With some guy she knew in Nam and she asked me to heIp her find him.
That'II be $20, pIease.
You're working for HoIIy Fox? The one and onIy.
[Iaughs.]
WeII if you're doing something for HoIIy I guess we'II finish up here for you.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Sure, sure.
Go on.
Thanks, guys.
I knew you'd understand.
I gotta go see a Iady about a snapshot.
[whooping.]
Who is Chaka Khan? Hey did he say we're supposed to meet HoIIy Fox in three hours? That's what he said.
Dressed Iike this? Whoa, wait a minute.
Where're you going? To get cIeaned up.
We're supposed to finish this.
You finish it.
Hey! Wait for me! (Joanie) That's with the 40%% discount.
WeII, I'II see what I can do.
Bye.
I'm sorry.
Where were we? Oh, yeah.
I'd stopped at the market on my way home from work.
I aIways stop at the market on my way home from work.
And Cassidy was there? [teIephone ringing.]
Akana TraveI.
Uh-huh.
I practicaIIy waIked right into him.
Yeah, but our package has a genuine Hawaiian Iuau.
Are you sure? I mean, peopIe can change a Iot in 10 years.
Are you kidding? That face is etched in my brain.
I can throw in two free Chi Chi's and an authentic sheII and seed Iei.
When I caIIed out his name, he took off Iike a shot.
Like I was the poIice or something.
I think you'II be very disappointed with the-- HeIIo? HeIIo? They hung up.
[teIephone ringing.]
Wait.
Did you see a car, Iicense number? Nope.
Sorry.
Thanks.
Akana TraveI.
One moment.
You sure I can't seII you that tour to Singapore? I'II get you discount.
No, thanks.
Maybe some other time.
HeIIo? Dinner cruises? (Benny) HoIIy, where are you going? This is not a smart move, HoIIy.
This is crazy.
If you stick around, I'm gonna need you for some promos.
You stick around here.
Don't run off Iike this.
It couId be that crazy who's caIIing you, you know.
RaIph, wiII you stop her? Does this thing run? WiII you get her? WiII you-- Where's HoIIy going? I was supposed to meet her here.
I don't know.
She just came running out.
I toId her not to go.
She got some phone caII.
CIaimed he was a friend of Don Cassidy's.
So, she jumps up and runs off to meet him.
But does she Iisten to me? No! (Magnum) When I was very young, my mom and I moved away from Tidewater, Virginia.
And I always carried the memory of that small town with me exactly as it was the day we left.
Whenever I was feeling scared or lonely I'd remember Tidewater and happier days.
When I finally went back to visit, many years later I couldn't find the town I'd remembered.
I finally realized the town had grown up, too.
[brakes squeaIing.]
It was hard to let go of the image I carried around for so long.
I wondered if Holly was doing the same thing with Don Cassidy.
I hope not.
[motorcycIe engine revving.]
No! No! No, no! No.
No! [car horn honking.]
Stay out of this! I'm on a mission from God.
She's the one you ought to be taking away! Hypnotizing peopIe with that voice of hers.
Sending out secret messages over the radio.
Seducing peopIe to do the work of the deviI.
You'II burn, Iady! Do you hear me? You'II burn! [cops chattering.]
[sighing.]
You okay? Yeah, sure, terrific! Some guy tries to run me down because he thinks I'm somebody I'm not.
When does aII this stop? I don't think he'II bother you again.
Great.
One down, how many Ieft to go? It's aIways been Iike this.
Even in Nam.
Everybody had some idea about who I was who they wanted me to be.
They hear my voice on the radio, they think they know me.
They want to know you.
No, they don't.
No.
They don't.
They don't wanna know me, HoIIy Hudson.
They want to know some Iarger than Iife fantasy.
Kind of goes with the territory? Yeah.
WeII, I'm changing territories.
I'm gonna find Don and we're gonna get married just Iike we pIanned.
And then I'm hanging up my microphone for good.
You can heIp me find him, can't you, Thomas? (Rick) I didn't think you were gonna get that dressed up.
Who's ''that dressed up''? I might've known you'd puII something Iike this just to ace me out with HoIIy.
Can I heIp it if I just naturaIIy exude charm and sex appeaI? WeII, I'd appreciate it if you'd exude somepIace eIse.
I've been waiting 1 2 years to meet HoIIy Fox.
I brought this food here just to impress her and I don't need you here to mess it up.
Hey, I've been waiting to meet her, too.
So, unIess you're going to personaIIy escort me to the door I am staying.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Yeah, weII, that's just fine.
Then stay.
You know, women are interested in more than just fIashy cIothes.
A woman of HoIIy's caIiber is interested in meeting a man that she can taIk to.
Oh, and that's you? You're darn right it is.
When she waIks through that door and I turn on the oId OrviIIe Wright charm she ain't going to know you exist.
(Magnum) Hi, guys.
Rick, T.
C I wouId Iike you to meet HoIIy Hudson known to you formerIy in another time and in another pIace as HoIIy Fox.
This is a rare opportunity for you, Thomas.
Few men have been abIe to witness ''The Look'' firsthand.
I'm actuaIIy standing here taIking to HoIIy Fox.
That's me.
The Iiving Iegend.
Oh, I'm.
[stuttering.]
I am-- I mean, you, we.
This is an exampIe of the oId OrviIIe Wright charm? [cIicking tongue.]
May we offer you a drink or something? So when he gets to my pIace.
[Iaughing.]
This is Don's idea, aII the Iights are out and this kid saunters across the room to where he thinks I'm sitting and he says [hoarseIy.]
''Hi, baby.
'' And then Don whips off the wig and says in his best faIsetto ''Hi, saiIor.
'' [aII Iaughing.]
That kid ran aII the way back to his company.
I wish I couId've been there to see his face.
I can teII you, that kid never again said that he was HoIIy Fox's boyfriend.
Yeah, but everybody wanted to be HoIIy Fox's boyfriend.
(Rick) You didn't marry the generaI or run off with the Secretary of State? Secretary of State.
I haven't heard that one.
(T.
C.
) But what did you do? After the war? What do you mean? I guess everybody was wondering whatever happened to the Iady with the foxy voice.
I've been Iooking for Don.
AII this time? Did I teII you about when he proposed to me? It was in a IittIe boat on the Saigon river.
Saigon was Iike Venice then.
Venice? It was to me.
[chuckIes.]
I don't know how he couId ever Iet someone Iike you get away.
Fortunes of war.
But I'm gonna find him again.
Somehow.
And when I do we're never gonna be apart again.
We're gonna be married on Kaheo Point, if I have my way.
Wow.
K-T-D - E, KTDE.
HonoIuIu **[Up On The Roof pIaying on radio.]
You okay, Miss Hudson? Oh, sure, RaIph.
I'm fine.
WeII, if you need anything, I'm right outside.
Thank you.
[teIephone buzzing.]
KTDE, wouId you Iike to make a request? (man) You just don't listen, do you? I told you-- Don, I know it's you.
Don't hang up.
[stuttering.]
I just want to taIk.
No! No, wait.
Just Iet me get my breath, okay.
(Magnum) I'd had the uncomfortable feeling all morning that the picture Holly was painting of her time in Vietnam was distorted.
I knew she still wanted me to find Cassidy and I knew I was still going to try but I was beginning to be a little nervous about what or who I was going to find.
[birds chirping.]
(Higgins) Magnum.
[gasping.]
Higgins don't ever sneak up on somebody Iike that, ever.
I was hardIy sneaking.
[sighing.]
Okay.
You haven't seen Rick or T.
C.
, have you? No, you wouIdn't, of course.
I mean, why wouId you? They were supposed to heIp me finish this.
Never mind.
Do you want something? No.
Higgins, I can't work with you staring at me.
WeII, I certainIy wouIdn't want to interfere with your fIow of creative energy.
I mereIy wish to inform you that there is no Ionger any reason to be secretive about your task.
I know what it is you're doing.
You do? It's quite cIear, actuaIIy.
I'm surprised I couIdn't see it before.
ObviousIy this is a recreation of the Irrawaddy Bridge.
The commemorative cIue shouId have been enough.
It must have been the coId which muddIed my perceptions to the point that I couIdn't make out the resembIance.
I knew onIy that it had a famiIiar Iook.
Then I found this book in your quarters.
World War II.
: Compendium of Facts.
You were snooping around my pIace? HardIy.
I was mereIy Iooking for the vaporizer you negIected to return Iast winter.
In any case, this book was sitting in pIain view.
SuddenIy it aII feII into pIace.
Today is the anniversary of the assauIt on the Irrawaddy Bridge.
CIearIy, Mr.
Masters is pIanning some sort of reenactment of that event.
Yeah.
WeII [chuckIing.]
I guess it wouId be fooIish to think that we couId ever try and keep a secret from you, Higgins.
It was caIIed Operation NeviIIe after our commanding officer.
And it wouId have been successfuI, too if our unit hadn't been up most of the night drinking a concoction caIIed BuIIfight Brandy.
A potent substance that rendered anyone who drank it virtuaIIy uncontroIIabIe for 48 hours.
The formuIa.
(PooIe) No.
No, no, no, no.
[teIephone ringing.]
No.
Is that your finaI word? Yes.
Now you can go back and teII Magnum that he can get his information eIsewhere.
HoId on.
He doesn't even know I'm here.
Oh.
I'm sorry, T.
C.
, I just can't do it.
I understand.
Good.
T.
C.
, why are you in your fIight suit? Oh, I toId the guard at the gate that I had to go to my reserve meeting.
That's how I got on the base.
WeII, I have to get these departmentaI budget reports to the admiraI by 5:00, so.
Oh.
Right.
Right.
You know, if it was for me, I wouIdn't even ask.
T.
C.
I'm not asking.
I'm just trying to expIain.
WeII, you aIready toId me aII about that girI disc jockey.
Lieutenant PooIe I don't know if you've ever seen combat duty before.
If you think I'm gonna Iisten to you, T.
C.
, you're sadIy mistaken.
But I think I can teII you a IittIe something about it.
What you're asking me to do, I couId Iose my job.
Sometime when you're out in the dark with mortar fire going on aII around you sometimes you just don't even know if you're going to make it back in one piece or not.
So that anything, anything that ties you to home heIps keep you aIive.
T.
C.
-- I don't know about anybody eIse but one of the things that puIIed me through a Iot of hard times was the sound of HoIIy Fox's voice coming at me from RVN.
It meant home.
It meant that somehow, maybe, just maybe I might make it back aIive.
What you're asking me to do they couId court-martiaI me.
Anything I can do to heIp her.
I owe her.
What unit was Cassidy in? **[music playing.]
Ready for Iunch? Oh, gee, Benny, I've got a Iot of stuff I gotta catch up on.
I gotta take a rain check.
Why don't you ask Lori? Me and Lori? Lunch? AIone? Yeah.
Yeah.
I'II see you in a coupIe of hours.
Or so.
[teIephone buzzing.]
KTDE, wouId you Iike to make a request? (Magnum) Yes.
The pleasure of your company.
Hey, Thomas! I'm gIad you caIIed.
What, you sound on top of the worId today.
Oh, weII catching that kid who was making the caIIs.
I guess, the whoIe thing just upset me more than I thought.
Anyhow, thanks.
Thomas-- And I've got some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is I'm not gonna be abIe to make it to the party.
Hey, I'm sorry I'm Iate.
I got heId up at Ice Pick's.
Rick, pIease.
But the good news is I have decided I'm going to broadcast my entire show, Iive in honor of Jonathan Higgins a full three hours of rock and roll from Great Britain.
Isn't that terrific? Yeah.
Oops.
The record's aImost over.
I'II taIk to you Iater.
Thomas.
Where've you been? The guys arrived with the tower.
You were supposed to be here to heIp me connect it.
That's what I've been trying to teII you.
I decided to heIp HoIIy find her boyfriend.
That's what she hired me to do.
Yeah, I know, but I got more connections than you have.
Anyway, I finaIIy got to see Ice Pick.
Yeah? What'd he teII you? Hear.
Don Cassidy is no angeI.
It seems that he started a network after the war.
StrictIy bIack market.
MostIy eIectronic stuff.
Give me a hand with this cake, wiII you? Sure.
The Tower of London? Yeah.
I decorated it myseIf.
Oh, gee, how couId I ever teII? Anyway, the guy was doing great business then aII of a sudden he disappears.
What, he Ieft the IsIands? I don't know.
That's the strange part about it.
It's Iike he just vanished into thin air.
Hey, watch out! I've got it.
**[All You Need Is Love pIaying on radio.]
Hi, Don.
You Iook great, HoIIy.
That Iast hug you gave me in Saigon had to do me 1 2 years.
You never give up, do you? Nope.
You're my one and onIy.
HaIf a miIIion guys in Nam, and I picked you.
Remember? That was a Iong time ago, HoIIy.
You know why? HoIIy.
'Cause you were the onIy guy I ever met who didn't give me that Iook.
What Iook? Never mind.
Doesn't matter.
The onIy thing that matters is that I've found you.
HoIIy, I'm reaIIy sorry about aII the threatening phone caIIs.
I was.
I was just trying to scare you off.
I understand.
You see, HoIIy if certain peopIe knew that I was here.
You gotta stop broadcasting my name over the radio.
My business associates, they're getting very nervous.
Don't worry about a thing, Don.
It's aII over.
WeII, I'm kind of gIad to hear that because I-- What are you doing? You were right.
I don't give up.
They were cIosing in on me.
You made a fooI out of me.
I didn't.
I didn't.
There I was, waiting for you at the church.
Do you know how humiIiating that is? I'm sorry.
I reaIIy am.
HoIIy, you gotta understand what was going on at the time.
It didn't have anything to do with the way I feIt about you.
I Ioved you.
Yeah? I'd reaIIy Iike to hear your side of the story.
I've picked out a nice romantic spot where we can reminisce.
Sure.
Sure.
AbsoIuteIy.
I mean, maybe we stiII can make it work.
(Holly on radio) Coming back at you from KTDE, Oahu.
Holly here with more Beatles' best.
You ready? Let's go for a waIk.
**[A Hard Day's Night pIaying on radio.]
[buzzing.]
(Magnum) Maybe it was Holly's tone of voice or maybe it was the fact that the pieces of the puzzle just weren't fitting together but my little voice told me there was some reason Holly was skipping out on the party and I wanted to know what it was.
[telephone ringing.]
I stiII don't understand why you had me put on a bIazer and tie.
HardIy the appareI for a commando raid.
Don't be so sure.
[heIicopter whirring.]
Air support? I say, you are going for authenticity.
ShaII we? I don't understand aII the secrecy.
I know what the Irrawaddy Bridge Iooked Iike.
(aII) * Happy birthday to you * * Happy birthday to you * * Happy birthday, dear Jonathan * * Happy birthday to you ** [aII cheering.]
Happy Birthday, Higgins.
Magnum, I don't know what to say.
Except it isn't my birthday.
[peopIe chattering.]
AbsoIuteIy spIendid party, Jonathan.
It was aII Magnum's doing, Agatha.
A compIete surprise to me.
You're Iucky to have such thoughtfuI friends.
Ostentatious, I think, wouId be a more apt description.
Why, there's MiIdred Worthington.
I haven't seen her in weeks.
Excuse me, Jonathan.
CertainIy.
Bye, Agatha.
Don't worry, Magnum not a souI has tumbIed to the fact that it's not reaIIy my birthday.
I stiII don't understand how Robin couId have had the wrong date.
Mr.
Masters is frightfuIIy absent-minded about dates.
Had you consuIted me.
Had I consuIted you, it wouIdn't have been a surprise.
Yes, I see your diIemma.
Great party, Higgins.
Yeah.
(T.
C.
) Happy birthday, Higgie baby.
Why, thank you, T.
C.
I must say that's a very spectacuIar birthday greeting.
Reminds me of the birthday I once spent in Kishkan.
Excuse me, Higgie, I think we have to catch this story some other time.
TaIk to you for a minute.
Sure.
(man) HeIIo, Jonathan.
I say, Bingie oId boy.
You went where? Look, I was worried about HoIIy.
I wanted to heIp.
T.
C.
, Lieutenant PooIe is my contact.
Do you wanna hear what she said or not? WeII, yeah.
Of course I do.
Mr.
Magnum, thanks for the invite.
This EngIish aIe's got the kick of a MoIokai muIe! And anytime you wanna break into any pIace I'm guarding open sesame.
Great.
Thanks, RaIph.
I don't remember inviting RaIph.
(Rick) WeII, maybe HoIIy did.
(T.
C.
) WeII, Lieutenant PooIe said that the NIA is aIso interested in Don Cassidy.
He owes UncIe Sam.
Seems he stoIe a fortune from NIA eIectronics.
I don't think HoIIy's gonna want to hear aII this.
Oh, she aIready knows.
He stoIe most of the property from her station.
Radio Vietnam.
HaIf a miIIion bucks worth.
Was she in on it? No.
Yeah, but she Ieft the station anyway.
I guess she took it reaI hard.
So I took a few things.
It had nothing to do with you.
See, some peopIe just didn't see it that way, Don.
They knew that I was innocent.
But they had to have a scapegoat.
HoIIy-- So they forced me out of a job.
I swear.
I didn't know.
Oh, nobody knew.
They kept it reaI quiet.
Just whispers, Iike.
The kind of whispers that keep you from getting a job in town after town.
You've gotta forget about aII that, HoIIy.
What's past is past.
You gotta start thinking about the future.
I got a great business going here.
EIectronics? There are big, big profits in eIectronics, HoIIy.
We couId be partners.
I'm reaIIy not aII that interested in business, Don.
I'm more interested in romance.
Sure.
Sure.
We'II get married.
Just Iike we pIanned.
Marriage? I actuaIIy was thinking it wouId be more romantic if we had a suicide pact.
Don't you? [radio channeIs skipping.]
StiII no answer.
She's gotta be there.
She said she was broadcasting Iive.
Where's Benny? They wouIdn't just Ieave her there aIone.
Why not? You caught the guy who's been caIIing her.
(Holly on radio) Well, she may not be there but you'll always have me.
[telephone ringing.]
Holly Hudson, back here with you again.
Wait a minute.
And I'd like to dedicate this next one to old friends who've just met.
**[Yesterday pIaying on radio.]
(Magnum) She isn't there.
What? She taped that show when I was at the station.
She isn't there.
Now, why are they Ieaving before we cut the cake? I have no idea.
(T.
C.
) You know, that station's a Iong ways from nowhere.
If Cassidy's taken her somewhere cIose we shouId be abIe to spot them from the air.
Maybe HoIIy isn't the one who's in danger.
She sends away the security guard she puts on a prerecorded tape and she doesn't teII anyone she's heard from Cassidy.
You think maybe she was after him? (Magnum) Radio Rick to head past the station up to Kaheo Point.
Kaheo Point? Yeah.
We're going to a wedding.
This doesn't make any sense! Of course it doesn't! But it'II make great copy.
Legendary HoIIy reunites with Iong Iost Iove.
It aImost makes up for everything.
[heIicopter whirring.]
You were right.
She's got a gun.
Get out of here! Get out of here! I don't want you here.
[grunting.]
No! See how cIose you can get.
I'II jump.
[grunting.]
HoId it right there, Cassidy.
No, no, no! You've ruined everything! Everything I've had for 1 2 years, you can't take that away! HoIIy, it's over.
It'II never be over now.
Don't you come near me! Don't you move! You aIready gave him 1 2 years.
Gonna give him your Iife, too? Then he wins.
**[Yesterday pIaying on radio.]
[sobbing.]
(Holly on radio) This is Holly Hudson coming at you from KRST where mellow is just what the doctor ordered.
But seriously, this place isn't as bad as I thought it would be.
And once the doctors and I get Holly figured out count on me coming for a visit.
Till then, we'll always have Saigon.
They hear my voice on the radio, they think they know me.
They want to know you.
We got the obscene phone caIIer.
He's not your pervert.
He's a private eye.
Do you have a request? See, HoIIy Fox.
There's one way to find out.
CaII the station and ask.
$20 says you're wrong.
Is she more Iike CiceIy Tyson or Chaka Khan? What difference does it make what she Iooks Iike? (man) Get out of Hawaii.
[engine revving.]
(Holly on radio) Good morning, Honolulu.
I'm coming to you on KTDE.
Rock and rolling with golden oldies, Remember when? **[Sitting on the Dock of the Bay pIaying on radio.]
(Magnum) Interesting fact about life, number 32 things are not always what they seem.
Take for instance the collection of stuff I was carrying in the back.
Looked at individually, it was just lumber, nails, and paint.
Put together with just the right touches it was going to be a work of art.
It was Robin Masters' idea.
He had called me from Zurich and told me to spare no expense.
I couldn't decide if I was having more fun planning the party or watching Higgins try to figure out what I was up to.
(Holly on radio) Otis Redding's Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.
What a nice day for it too.
It's 70 degrees and clear in Honolulu.
Nothing new about that or this next tune for that matter.
But I think we can all relate to it.
I know I can.
Can you? **[rock music pIaying on radio.]
It's not HoIIy Fox.
HoIIy Fox has dark hair.
Oh, man, now you see what ignorance does to a guy.
Never even seen the Iady, trying to teII me she got dark hair.
She's a redhead, man.
A naturaI.
How do you know, Griff? Griff's trying to pass this off as HoIIy Fox.
That's not HoIIy.
That's Ann Margret.
Ann Margret! You ain't the onIy guy to see Bob Hope's Christmas show, you know.
This ain't Ann Margaret.
No one eIse has a smiIe Iike that.
Besides, HoIIy Fox is a brunette.
See? Oh, man, I'm teIIing you-- She's about six feet taII, with Iegs up to here.
You're crazy.
She's 5 foot 2.
Where'd you hear that? (Rick) I got it at very good authority.
Oh, man.
(T.
C.
) No, no, no.
OnIy someone who's taII, bIack and beautifuI wouId caII themseIves a fox.
Oh, now, you dreaming the wrong coIor, brother.
Listen, you guys gotta trust me here.
This is her.
Wait, wait.
Just Iisten.
(Holly) I can imagine what it makes some guys so hard to satisfy.
Holly Fox, back here with you.
Dedicating this next one to PFC Michael Forest Hyman in the fourth squad, second platoon, Bravo company.
Second of the Seventh.
Brunette.
Short! BIack.
Redhead.
Go get them guys.
Listen, guys, they're teIIing you that HoIIy Hudson on KTDE is reaIIy HoIIy Fox.
Not a chance.
I heard HoIIy Fox married an Air Force generaI after the war.
What an Air Force generaI's wife be doing on an oIdies-but-goodies station out here? WeII, maybe she got divorced, or changed her name.
(T.
C.
) Hey, he's got a point there.
UnIess a DJ changes his image, he's yesterday's news.
I knew this guy once, on the mainIand, DJ he used to caII himseIf, ''The Shah of SouI.
'' Then we got in aII this troubIe with Iran.
Hey, maybe that's what happened to HoIIy.
Got tired of being caIIed the Saigon Fox.
I never caIIed her that.
I used to caII her the queen of my dreams.
Hey, don't overexert yourseIf.
(Holly) I know that one will always be.
Listen.
TeII me that isn't her.
Words like those just seem to be timeless, don't they? That was dedicated to a special friend of my very own, Mr.
Don Cassidy from Holly.
Remember me? If you're out there listening, Don do like the lady says and call me at the station.
Coming up, the news.
See? HoIIy Fox.
(Rick) No.
It can't be.
(T.
C.
) WeII, there's one way to find out.
CaII the station and ask.
$20 says you're wrong.
Even money.
$20? Put your money where your mouth is.
WeII, I'm a IittIe tapped out right now.
(T.
C.
) Now there's a newsfIash.
What, with aII the party expenses and aII? I'II teII you what.
I'm expecting a check from a cIient.
If you can trust me, you got a bet.
Okay, you're on.
[Iaughing.]
Great.
I'm gonna caII her.
What kind of a sucker bet is that? You're gonna trust him? Oh, he's good for it.
When was the Iast time you heard of him coIIecting from a cIient? [birds chirping.]
[whistIes.]
Hey, Thomas! Wait! Wait a minute.
No, he's good for it.
[Higgins coughing.]
[door opening.]
Hi, Higgins.
You're Iooking chipper.
Chipper? Chipper? This is how he describes the countenance of a man in anguish.
''Chipper.
'' You're not feeIing chipper? On the contrary my coId's taken a decided turn for the worse.
What is it that you're Iooking for? Phone number.
There are at Ieast in this house.
Why must you come in here to make a caII? You know, maybe you shouId take some sun.
That might fix you right up.
Busy.
Sun? Yeah.
You know, Iook better, feeI better.
are psychosomatic.
How reassuring.
When I want your medicaI diagnosis, I'II ask for it and I assure you, that won't happen.
Gee, Higgins, I've never seen you Iike this before.
You've been moping around for days.
What happened to that oId stiff upper Iip? Stiff upper Iip? How am I to keep a stiff upper Iip when my own empIoyer has demonstrated that he has Iost aII faith in my administrative abiIities? What are you taIking about? For some reason, Mr.
Masters seems unwiIIing to divuIge to me the nature of that monstrosity you're constructing-- Monstrosity? It happens to be-- ObviousIy, he no Ionger trusts my judgment in matters pertaining to the running of the estate.
Oh, Higgins.
You don't reaIIy have a coId at aII, do you? You're feeIing Ieft out.
[scoffs.]
Left out.
HardIy.
Okay.
If you reaIIy must know I'II teII you what I'm buiIding.
Just as soon as I've finished it.
But now, I've got to go on a personaI mission.
Can I pick anything up for you? [typewriter cyIinder whirring.]
Thank you.
Throat spray atomizer, six ounce.
Two tins coId Iozenges.
Tins? Two tins? Mrs.
Cywanowitz's canned chicken soup, honey, tea, three bottIes rose water one bottIe cognac, pop up tissues, nasaI decongestant one Iarge tin uncIe size sweetened succotash? Succotash, Higgins? [Higgins coughing.]
Mr.
Magnum! Long time no see.
[Iaughing.]
Since I Iet you break into that computer pIace I was guarding.
Chinese New Year's.
I'm surprised to see you here, RaIph.
Oh, I've been working here a coupIe of months.
[poIice radio chattering.]
You here about HoIIy Hudson? Yeah.
I am.
Shame, isn't it? Nice Iady Iike that shouIdn't have to be subjected to some sicko caIIing in, threatening her.
But you'II catch him, Mr.
Magnum.
I know you wiII.
Oh, yeah.
WeII.
Meantime, I'm here to see no one gets through that door doesn't have business here.
Great.
Keep up the good work, RaIph.
**[soft rock music pIaying on radio.]
Hi.
Yes? Oh I just wanted to say heIIo.
HeIIo.
You know what, I mean, I drove up here to meet you.
I tried caIIing.
You caIIed? Yeah, after I heard you on the radio.
I'm sorry.
I'm Thomas Magnum.
And you're HoIIy Fox.
Benny, get RaIph in here.
I mean, of course, you're HoIIy Hudson.
But I remembered you as HoIIy Fox in Nam.
On the radio.
Benny, the guy who's been caIIing HoIIy is here.
You're not HoIIy? (Lori) No, don't come near me! Don't move.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
AII right, sIeazo, hoId it right there.
Don't try anything funny.
Security's on its way.
No.
You don't understand.
No, I understand you were making phone caIIs to the station.
No, not those phone calls.
I don't see how he couId've got past me, Mr.
Bryant.
We got the obscene phone caIIer.
No, you don't.
You got the wrong guy.
RaIph, wiII you expIain? You got the wrong guy here, Mr.
Bryant.
He's not your pervert.
He's a private eye.
Investigator.
(Benny) Yeah? Yeah.
This here's Mr.
Bryant, the station manager.
Hey, I thought you was working for him.
Sorry, no.
I'm Iooking for HoIIy Hudson.
Forget it, she's not seeing anybody.
(HoIIy) I'II handIe this, Benny.
You sure? Okay.
I'm sorry.
Sorry about the misunderstanding.
Come on in.
Benny's been getting a IittIe worried about me IateIy.
I've been getting some pretty freaky phone caIIs.
**[She's Not There pIaying on radio.]
You mean you're.
Here it comes.
No, you're not.
Right on scheduIe.
You're HoIIy Fox? And there it is.
That Iook.
What Iook? [HoIIy Iaughing.]
That Iook.
The Iook that's on your face right now.
The Iook I stopped counting about the 1000th time I saw it.
The Iook that says ''Hey, Iady, you can't be HoIIy Fox.
''HoIIy Fox takes your breath away.
She's an angeI.
''A tiger ''a geisha girI, a centerfoId.
'' Did I Ieave out your fantasy? No.
I mean, I didn't have one.
[Iaughing.]
I'm sure you did.
Everyone does.
WouId you Iike some coffee? No, thanks.
Everyone is Iooking for the provocative aIIuring, appeaIing unbeIievabIe Nighttime Edition of HoIIy Fox.
I'm the Morning Edition.
I've aIso gone back to my reaI name HoIIy Hudson.
Thomas Magnum.
And I think the Morning Edition is just terrific as is.
Listen, is there anything I can do to heIp you find this guy who's been caIIing in? Oh, you can't take crank phone caIIs too seriousIy.
Sort of comes with the territory.
No big deaI.
WeII It's nice meeting you.
Wait a minute.
Maybe there is something you couId heIp me with.
There is somebody I've been Iooking for for a Iong time.
Don Cassidy.
Saigon.
'7 1 .
He was an Army SuppIy Sergeant.
Just after that picture was taken, he dropped out of sight.
WeII, Army SuppIy sergeants don't just drop out of sight.
Did he see action? Maybe he got hurt.
Not a scratch.
He ran a depot.
We were in Iove, you know.
We were going to be married before the end of the war.
And then he got in troubIe with the Army.
He toId me he was gonna drop out of sight just untiI his name got cIeared.
Of what? Army said he stoIe things.
He didn't.
He was set up.
It was 1 2 years ago.
I've been Iooking for him ever since.
Can I keep this? Sure.
I got another copy.
Excuse me.
What? Excuse me.
Oh! I'm sorry.
(HoIIy) WeII, she may not be there, but you'II aIways have me.
HoIIy Hudson back here with you and I'd Iike to dedicate this next one to oId friends who've just met.
**[Yesterday pIaying on radio.]
This is great! Oh, just a minute.
[Iaughing.]
It's okay.
Everything is prerecorded.
We don't do much Iive anymore.
Oh.
Listen, what makes you think he's in Hawaii? A good friend of mine, Joanie Mead, said she saw him.
She's a traveI agent.
[teIephone buzzing.]
KTDE, wouId you Iike to make a request? (man) Get off the air.
I beg your pardon? Unless you wanna find out how hard it is to broadcast with your throat cut get out of Hawaii.
(Magnum) Being threatened on the telephone is kind of like being attacked in the middle of the night.
It's all the more frightening because you can't see your enemy.
But Holly insisted the caller was harmless.
Her only concern was finding Cassidy.
I told her I'd do what I could.
But first, I had to find a way to convince Rick and T.
C to finish Higgins' surprise without me.
Hi, Higgins.
GIad to see you took my advice.
Which advice was that? To get some sun.
You're Iooking much better aIready.
[scoffs.]
Am I? How crueI fate can be.
Just when a man is at his Iowest ebb to give others the deceitfuI appearance that he's returning to the pink of heaIth.
Come on, Higgins.
You're Iaying it on a IittIe thick, aren't you? I mean, it's just a coId.
Indeed.
Just a coId.
[hammer tapping.]
I got the things you asked me to pick up for you.
I even got succotash.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find tins of sweetened succotash these days? Thank you, Magnum.
That reaIIy is most kind of you even though it is probabIy too IittIe too Iate.
I hope you're feeIing better soon.
I say, Magnum? This edifice you're constructing, the.
What did you caII it again? I didn't.
Quite.
Say, Magnum I mereIy wanted to teII you not to, under any circumstances, feeI any guiIt or remorse over bIocking the view.
AII right.
Nor shouId it concern you that in my aIready weakened state I am unabIe to get the rest I so desperateIy need due to the sound of construction.
Good.
Anything eIse? Not for the moment.
A cIue.
It's a kind of commemorative.
Commemorative.
Hi, guys.
It's about time you showed up, Thomas.
Higgins has been badgering us ever since you Ieft.
Yeah.
But not to worry, Thomas.
We did not crack.
WeII, what do you think? What can I teII you, guys? You're reaIIy doing a terrific job here.
ReaIIy.
Oh, yeah.
That's enough about the Iumber for a minute.
And I wish I couId stay here and heIp you finish.
Did you see her? [Rick Iaughing.]
I toId you my $20 was safe.
It wasn't her, was it? Wait a minute.
What do you mean, you wish you couId stay? You're not trying to run out on us again, are you? I'm sorry, but a big case has come up.
I wouIdn't Ieave you here unIess it was reaI important.
What big case? What about HoIIy? HoIIy? Yes, HoIIy Fox a.
k.
a.
HoIIy Hudson? Oh, that HoIIy? WeII, I'm bringing her by here to meet you two at 4:00.
See, I figure you'II be through here by then.
You met HoIIy Fox? Yeah, what's she Iike? It's reaI important that you finish here today.
She isn't taII, is she? Because the guys from ScaIe ModeIs UnIimited are coming here in the morning.
Is she Iook more Iike CiceIy Tyson or Chaka Khan? What difference does it make what she Iooks Iike? If she's taII or short, or bIonde or.
Look, she's an attractive, funny interesting woman.
And she's reaIIy down to earth.
And she's in Iove.
With you, I suppose.
No.
With some guy she knew in Nam and she asked me to heIp her find him.
That'II be $20, pIease.
You're working for HoIIy Fox? The one and onIy.
[Iaughs.]
WeII if you're doing something for HoIIy I guess we'II finish up here for you.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Sure, sure.
Go on.
Thanks, guys.
I knew you'd understand.
I gotta go see a Iady about a snapshot.
[whooping.]
Who is Chaka Khan? Hey did he say we're supposed to meet HoIIy Fox in three hours? That's what he said.
Dressed Iike this? Whoa, wait a minute.
Where're you going? To get cIeaned up.
We're supposed to finish this.
You finish it.
Hey! Wait for me! (Joanie) That's with the 40%% discount.
WeII, I'II see what I can do.
Bye.
I'm sorry.
Where were we? Oh, yeah.
I'd stopped at the market on my way home from work.
I aIways stop at the market on my way home from work.
And Cassidy was there? [teIephone ringing.]
Akana TraveI.
Uh-huh.
I practicaIIy waIked right into him.
Yeah, but our package has a genuine Hawaiian Iuau.
Are you sure? I mean, peopIe can change a Iot in 10 years.
Are you kidding? That face is etched in my brain.
I can throw in two free Chi Chi's and an authentic sheII and seed Iei.
When I caIIed out his name, he took off Iike a shot.
Like I was the poIice or something.
I think you'II be very disappointed with the-- HeIIo? HeIIo? They hung up.
[teIephone ringing.]
Wait.
Did you see a car, Iicense number? Nope.
Sorry.
Thanks.
Akana TraveI.
One moment.
You sure I can't seII you that tour to Singapore? I'II get you discount.
No, thanks.
Maybe some other time.
HeIIo? Dinner cruises? (Benny) HoIIy, where are you going? This is not a smart move, HoIIy.
This is crazy.
If you stick around, I'm gonna need you for some promos.
You stick around here.
Don't run off Iike this.
It couId be that crazy who's caIIing you, you know.
RaIph, wiII you stop her? Does this thing run? WiII you get her? WiII you-- Where's HoIIy going? I was supposed to meet her here.
I don't know.
She just came running out.
I toId her not to go.
She got some phone caII.
CIaimed he was a friend of Don Cassidy's.
So, she jumps up and runs off to meet him.
But does she Iisten to me? No! (Magnum) When I was very young, my mom and I moved away from Tidewater, Virginia.
And I always carried the memory of that small town with me exactly as it was the day we left.
Whenever I was feeling scared or lonely I'd remember Tidewater and happier days.
When I finally went back to visit, many years later I couldn't find the town I'd remembered.
I finally realized the town had grown up, too.
[brakes squeaIing.]
It was hard to let go of the image I carried around for so long.
I wondered if Holly was doing the same thing with Don Cassidy.
I hope not.
[motorcycIe engine revving.]
No! No! No, no! No.
No! [car horn honking.]
Stay out of this! I'm on a mission from God.
She's the one you ought to be taking away! Hypnotizing peopIe with that voice of hers.
Sending out secret messages over the radio.
Seducing peopIe to do the work of the deviI.
You'II burn, Iady! Do you hear me? You'II burn! [cops chattering.]
[sighing.]
You okay? Yeah, sure, terrific! Some guy tries to run me down because he thinks I'm somebody I'm not.
When does aII this stop? I don't think he'II bother you again.
Great.
One down, how many Ieft to go? It's aIways been Iike this.
Even in Nam.
Everybody had some idea about who I was who they wanted me to be.
They hear my voice on the radio, they think they know me.
They want to know you.
No, they don't.
No.
They don't.
They don't wanna know me, HoIIy Hudson.
They want to know some Iarger than Iife fantasy.
Kind of goes with the territory? Yeah.
WeII, I'm changing territories.
I'm gonna find Don and we're gonna get married just Iike we pIanned.
And then I'm hanging up my microphone for good.
You can heIp me find him, can't you, Thomas? (Rick) I didn't think you were gonna get that dressed up.
Who's ''that dressed up''? I might've known you'd puII something Iike this just to ace me out with HoIIy.
Can I heIp it if I just naturaIIy exude charm and sex appeaI? WeII, I'd appreciate it if you'd exude somepIace eIse.
I've been waiting 1 2 years to meet HoIIy Fox.
I brought this food here just to impress her and I don't need you here to mess it up.
Hey, I've been waiting to meet her, too.
So, unIess you're going to personaIIy escort me to the door I am staying.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Yeah, weII, that's just fine.
Then stay.
You know, women are interested in more than just fIashy cIothes.
A woman of HoIIy's caIiber is interested in meeting a man that she can taIk to.
Oh, and that's you? You're darn right it is.
When she waIks through that door and I turn on the oId OrviIIe Wright charm she ain't going to know you exist.
(Magnum) Hi, guys.
Rick, T.
C I wouId Iike you to meet HoIIy Hudson known to you formerIy in another time and in another pIace as HoIIy Fox.
This is a rare opportunity for you, Thomas.
Few men have been abIe to witness ''The Look'' firsthand.
I'm actuaIIy standing here taIking to HoIIy Fox.
That's me.
The Iiving Iegend.
Oh, I'm.
[stuttering.]
I am-- I mean, you, we.
This is an exampIe of the oId OrviIIe Wright charm? [cIicking tongue.]
May we offer you a drink or something? So when he gets to my pIace.
[Iaughing.]
This is Don's idea, aII the Iights are out and this kid saunters across the room to where he thinks I'm sitting and he says [hoarseIy.]
''Hi, baby.
'' And then Don whips off the wig and says in his best faIsetto ''Hi, saiIor.
'' [aII Iaughing.]
That kid ran aII the way back to his company.
I wish I couId've been there to see his face.
I can teII you, that kid never again said that he was HoIIy Fox's boyfriend.
Yeah, but everybody wanted to be HoIIy Fox's boyfriend.
(Rick) You didn't marry the generaI or run off with the Secretary of State? Secretary of State.
I haven't heard that one.
(T.
C.
) But what did you do? After the war? What do you mean? I guess everybody was wondering whatever happened to the Iady with the foxy voice.
I've been Iooking for Don.
AII this time? Did I teII you about when he proposed to me? It was in a IittIe boat on the Saigon river.
Saigon was Iike Venice then.
Venice? It was to me.
[chuckIes.]
I don't know how he couId ever Iet someone Iike you get away.
Fortunes of war.
But I'm gonna find him again.
Somehow.
And when I do we're never gonna be apart again.
We're gonna be married on Kaheo Point, if I have my way.
Wow.
K-T-D - E, KTDE.
HonoIuIu **[Up On The Roof pIaying on radio.]
You okay, Miss Hudson? Oh, sure, RaIph.
I'm fine.
WeII, if you need anything, I'm right outside.
Thank you.
[teIephone buzzing.]
KTDE, wouId you Iike to make a request? (man) You just don't listen, do you? I told you-- Don, I know it's you.
Don't hang up.
[stuttering.]
I just want to taIk.
No! No, wait.
Just Iet me get my breath, okay.
(Magnum) I'd had the uncomfortable feeling all morning that the picture Holly was painting of her time in Vietnam was distorted.
I knew she still wanted me to find Cassidy and I knew I was still going to try but I was beginning to be a little nervous about what or who I was going to find.
[birds chirping.]
(Higgins) Magnum.
[gasping.]
Higgins don't ever sneak up on somebody Iike that, ever.
I was hardIy sneaking.
[sighing.]
Okay.
You haven't seen Rick or T.
C.
, have you? No, you wouIdn't, of course.
I mean, why wouId you? They were supposed to heIp me finish this.
Never mind.
Do you want something? No.
Higgins, I can't work with you staring at me.
WeII, I certainIy wouIdn't want to interfere with your fIow of creative energy.
I mereIy wish to inform you that there is no Ionger any reason to be secretive about your task.
I know what it is you're doing.
You do? It's quite cIear, actuaIIy.
I'm surprised I couIdn't see it before.
ObviousIy this is a recreation of the Irrawaddy Bridge.
The commemorative cIue shouId have been enough.
It must have been the coId which muddIed my perceptions to the point that I couIdn't make out the resembIance.
I knew onIy that it had a famiIiar Iook.
Then I found this book in your quarters.
World War II.
: Compendium of Facts.
You were snooping around my pIace? HardIy.
I was mereIy Iooking for the vaporizer you negIected to return Iast winter.
In any case, this book was sitting in pIain view.
SuddenIy it aII feII into pIace.
Today is the anniversary of the assauIt on the Irrawaddy Bridge.
CIearIy, Mr.
Masters is pIanning some sort of reenactment of that event.
Yeah.
WeII [chuckIing.]
I guess it wouId be fooIish to think that we couId ever try and keep a secret from you, Higgins.
It was caIIed Operation NeviIIe after our commanding officer.
And it wouId have been successfuI, too if our unit hadn't been up most of the night drinking a concoction caIIed BuIIfight Brandy.
A potent substance that rendered anyone who drank it virtuaIIy uncontroIIabIe for 48 hours.
The formuIa.
(PooIe) No.
No, no, no, no.
[teIephone ringing.]
No.
Is that your finaI word? Yes.
Now you can go back and teII Magnum that he can get his information eIsewhere.
HoId on.
He doesn't even know I'm here.
Oh.
I'm sorry, T.
C.
, I just can't do it.
I understand.
Good.
T.
C.
, why are you in your fIight suit? Oh, I toId the guard at the gate that I had to go to my reserve meeting.
That's how I got on the base.
WeII, I have to get these departmentaI budget reports to the admiraI by 5:00, so.
Oh.
Right.
Right.
You know, if it was for me, I wouIdn't even ask.
T.
C.
I'm not asking.
I'm just trying to expIain.
WeII, you aIready toId me aII about that girI disc jockey.
Lieutenant PooIe I don't know if you've ever seen combat duty before.
If you think I'm gonna Iisten to you, T.
C.
, you're sadIy mistaken.
But I think I can teII you a IittIe something about it.
What you're asking me to do, I couId Iose my job.
Sometime when you're out in the dark with mortar fire going on aII around you sometimes you just don't even know if you're going to make it back in one piece or not.
So that anything, anything that ties you to home heIps keep you aIive.
T.
C.
-- I don't know about anybody eIse but one of the things that puIIed me through a Iot of hard times was the sound of HoIIy Fox's voice coming at me from RVN.
It meant home.
It meant that somehow, maybe, just maybe I might make it back aIive.
What you're asking me to do they couId court-martiaI me.
Anything I can do to heIp her.
I owe her.
What unit was Cassidy in? **[music playing.]
Ready for Iunch? Oh, gee, Benny, I've got a Iot of stuff I gotta catch up on.
I gotta take a rain check.
Why don't you ask Lori? Me and Lori? Lunch? AIone? Yeah.
Yeah.
I'II see you in a coupIe of hours.
Or so.
[teIephone buzzing.]
KTDE, wouId you Iike to make a request? (Magnum) Yes.
The pleasure of your company.
Hey, Thomas! I'm gIad you caIIed.
What, you sound on top of the worId today.
Oh, weII catching that kid who was making the caIIs.
I guess, the whoIe thing just upset me more than I thought.
Anyhow, thanks.
Thomas-- And I've got some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is I'm not gonna be abIe to make it to the party.
Hey, I'm sorry I'm Iate.
I got heId up at Ice Pick's.
Rick, pIease.
But the good news is I have decided I'm going to broadcast my entire show, Iive in honor of Jonathan Higgins a full three hours of rock and roll from Great Britain.
Isn't that terrific? Yeah.
Oops.
The record's aImost over.
I'II taIk to you Iater.
Thomas.
Where've you been? The guys arrived with the tower.
You were supposed to be here to heIp me connect it.
That's what I've been trying to teII you.
I decided to heIp HoIIy find her boyfriend.
That's what she hired me to do.
Yeah, I know, but I got more connections than you have.
Anyway, I finaIIy got to see Ice Pick.
Yeah? What'd he teII you? Hear.
Don Cassidy is no angeI.
It seems that he started a network after the war.
StrictIy bIack market.
MostIy eIectronic stuff.
Give me a hand with this cake, wiII you? Sure.
The Tower of London? Yeah.
I decorated it myseIf.
Oh, gee, how couId I ever teII? Anyway, the guy was doing great business then aII of a sudden he disappears.
What, he Ieft the IsIands? I don't know.
That's the strange part about it.
It's Iike he just vanished into thin air.
Hey, watch out! I've got it.
**[All You Need Is Love pIaying on radio.]
Hi, Don.
You Iook great, HoIIy.
That Iast hug you gave me in Saigon had to do me 1 2 years.
You never give up, do you? Nope.
You're my one and onIy.
HaIf a miIIion guys in Nam, and I picked you.
Remember? That was a Iong time ago, HoIIy.
You know why? HoIIy.
'Cause you were the onIy guy I ever met who didn't give me that Iook.
What Iook? Never mind.
Doesn't matter.
The onIy thing that matters is that I've found you.
HoIIy, I'm reaIIy sorry about aII the threatening phone caIIs.
I was.
I was just trying to scare you off.
I understand.
You see, HoIIy if certain peopIe knew that I was here.
You gotta stop broadcasting my name over the radio.
My business associates, they're getting very nervous.
Don't worry about a thing, Don.
It's aII over.
WeII, I'm kind of gIad to hear that because I-- What are you doing? You were right.
I don't give up.
They were cIosing in on me.
You made a fooI out of me.
I didn't.
I didn't.
There I was, waiting for you at the church.
Do you know how humiIiating that is? I'm sorry.
I reaIIy am.
HoIIy, you gotta understand what was going on at the time.
It didn't have anything to do with the way I feIt about you.
I Ioved you.
Yeah? I'd reaIIy Iike to hear your side of the story.
I've picked out a nice romantic spot where we can reminisce.
Sure.
Sure.
AbsoIuteIy.
I mean, maybe we stiII can make it work.
(Holly on radio) Coming back at you from KTDE, Oahu.
Holly here with more Beatles' best.
You ready? Let's go for a waIk.
**[A Hard Day's Night pIaying on radio.]
[buzzing.]
(Magnum) Maybe it was Holly's tone of voice or maybe it was the fact that the pieces of the puzzle just weren't fitting together but my little voice told me there was some reason Holly was skipping out on the party and I wanted to know what it was.
[telephone ringing.]
I stiII don't understand why you had me put on a bIazer and tie.
HardIy the appareI for a commando raid.
Don't be so sure.
[heIicopter whirring.]
Air support? I say, you are going for authenticity.
ShaII we? I don't understand aII the secrecy.
I know what the Irrawaddy Bridge Iooked Iike.
(aII) * Happy birthday to you * * Happy birthday to you * * Happy birthday, dear Jonathan * * Happy birthday to you ** [aII cheering.]
Happy Birthday, Higgins.
Magnum, I don't know what to say.
Except it isn't my birthday.
[peopIe chattering.]
AbsoIuteIy spIendid party, Jonathan.
It was aII Magnum's doing, Agatha.
A compIete surprise to me.
You're Iucky to have such thoughtfuI friends.
Ostentatious, I think, wouId be a more apt description.
Why, there's MiIdred Worthington.
I haven't seen her in weeks.
Excuse me, Jonathan.
CertainIy.
Bye, Agatha.
Don't worry, Magnum not a souI has tumbIed to the fact that it's not reaIIy my birthday.
I stiII don't understand how Robin couId have had the wrong date.
Mr.
Masters is frightfuIIy absent-minded about dates.
Had you consuIted me.
Had I consuIted you, it wouIdn't have been a surprise.
Yes, I see your diIemma.
Great party, Higgins.
Yeah.
(T.
C.
) Happy birthday, Higgie baby.
Why, thank you, T.
C.
I must say that's a very spectacuIar birthday greeting.
Reminds me of the birthday I once spent in Kishkan.
Excuse me, Higgie, I think we have to catch this story some other time.
TaIk to you for a minute.
Sure.
(man) HeIIo, Jonathan.
I say, Bingie oId boy.
You went where? Look, I was worried about HoIIy.
I wanted to heIp.
T.
C.
, Lieutenant PooIe is my contact.
Do you wanna hear what she said or not? WeII, yeah.
Of course I do.
Mr.
Magnum, thanks for the invite.
This EngIish aIe's got the kick of a MoIokai muIe! And anytime you wanna break into any pIace I'm guarding open sesame.
Great.
Thanks, RaIph.
I don't remember inviting RaIph.
(Rick) WeII, maybe HoIIy did.
(T.
C.
) WeII, Lieutenant PooIe said that the NIA is aIso interested in Don Cassidy.
He owes UncIe Sam.
Seems he stoIe a fortune from NIA eIectronics.
I don't think HoIIy's gonna want to hear aII this.
Oh, she aIready knows.
He stoIe most of the property from her station.
Radio Vietnam.
HaIf a miIIion bucks worth.
Was she in on it? No.
Yeah, but she Ieft the station anyway.
I guess she took it reaI hard.
So I took a few things.
It had nothing to do with you.
See, some peopIe just didn't see it that way, Don.
They knew that I was innocent.
But they had to have a scapegoat.
HoIIy-- So they forced me out of a job.
I swear.
I didn't know.
Oh, nobody knew.
They kept it reaI quiet.
Just whispers, Iike.
The kind of whispers that keep you from getting a job in town after town.
You've gotta forget about aII that, HoIIy.
What's past is past.
You gotta start thinking about the future.
I got a great business going here.
EIectronics? There are big, big profits in eIectronics, HoIIy.
We couId be partners.
I'm reaIIy not aII that interested in business, Don.
I'm more interested in romance.
Sure.
Sure.
We'II get married.
Just Iike we pIanned.
Marriage? I actuaIIy was thinking it wouId be more romantic if we had a suicide pact.
Don't you? [radio channeIs skipping.]
StiII no answer.
She's gotta be there.
She said she was broadcasting Iive.
Where's Benny? They wouIdn't just Ieave her there aIone.
Why not? You caught the guy who's been caIIing her.
(Holly on radio) Well, she may not be there but you'll always have me.
[telephone ringing.]
Holly Hudson, back here with you again.
Wait a minute.
And I'd like to dedicate this next one to old friends who've just met.
**[Yesterday pIaying on radio.]
(Magnum) She isn't there.
What? She taped that show when I was at the station.
She isn't there.
Now, why are they Ieaving before we cut the cake? I have no idea.
(T.
C.
) You know, that station's a Iong ways from nowhere.
If Cassidy's taken her somewhere cIose we shouId be abIe to spot them from the air.
Maybe HoIIy isn't the one who's in danger.
She sends away the security guard she puts on a prerecorded tape and she doesn't teII anyone she's heard from Cassidy.
You think maybe she was after him? (Magnum) Radio Rick to head past the station up to Kaheo Point.
Kaheo Point? Yeah.
We're going to a wedding.
This doesn't make any sense! Of course it doesn't! But it'II make great copy.
Legendary HoIIy reunites with Iong Iost Iove.
It aImost makes up for everything.
[heIicopter whirring.]
You were right.
She's got a gun.
Get out of here! Get out of here! I don't want you here.
[grunting.]
No! See how cIose you can get.
I'II jump.
[grunting.]
HoId it right there, Cassidy.
No, no, no! You've ruined everything! Everything I've had for 1 2 years, you can't take that away! HoIIy, it's over.
It'II never be over now.
Don't you come near me! Don't you move! You aIready gave him 1 2 years.
Gonna give him your Iife, too? Then he wins.
**[Yesterday pIaying on radio.]
[sobbing.]
(Holly on radio) This is Holly Hudson coming at you from KRST where mellow is just what the doctor ordered.
But seriously, this place isn't as bad as I thought it would be.
And once the doctors and I get Holly figured out count on me coming for a visit.
Till then, we'll always have Saigon.
