10 minutes left. Can I help you?
Yeah, yeah, we're P.I.s,
- here to take the license renewal exam.
- [CLEARS THROAT]
The exam began almost an hour ago.
Oh, yes. And we apologize
for our tardiness.
We were just hoping
that we could commence
the exam period now.
Yeah, yeah. We had a case that ran late.
This, uh This guy skipped bail
and we had to track him down,
or else his grandmother
would have had to pay $30,000.
But, just so you know,
Thomas and I have actually
already passed this test
several times in the past.
So we can assure you that the extra time
would in no way compromise
the integrity of our results.

You okay?
I've, like, never failed
anything in my whole life.
Come on. Never?
No, no, never.
I mean, I
How did I fail and you passed?
- Sorry. That sounded bad.
- Don't worry about it.
I mean, you were basically
an unlicensed P.I.
for a year before we became partners.
Mm, doing favors for you
under the radar is one thing,
but I've been a licensed P.I. for years.
I can't just say
I didn't know any better.
What's the worst that can happen?
What if I get caught
investigating without a license?
Then, I mean, it could
jeopardize my citizenship.
Yeah, that's the worst-case scenario,
but I-I just don't think
I can take the risk.
I think until I get my license back,
you're just gonna have
to work without me.

There he is. Hi.
- Meet the new and improved TC.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hi.
You guys didn't have to come down here.
You kidding? We wouldn't miss it.
This is a big day.
Yeah. Congratulations.
You look great.
Thanks, guys. Really.
- Okay, let's go.
- Okay.
- [CHUCKLES] Wow.
- Look at him go. Man, slow down.
Yeah. What, are you in a rush
to leave or something?
Can you blame me?
I've eaten more Jell-O
in the last six weeks
than I have my entire life.
[LAUGHS] I gotta get
the hell outta here.
[LAUGHTER]
Get your steps in.
Rick said he's sorry
he couldn't make it.
He's at, uh, Oahu Correctional,
of all places.
What'd he do now?
He didn't do anything.
It's one of his regulars.
He's got legal trouble and needs a P.I.
Yeah, so simple that I lose my license
the day we get a new client.
- You lost your license?
- Yeah.
It's a long story.
Eh, it's not that long of a story.

You were totally smiling your head off.
- Yeah, big smile. Big smile.
- Okay. Alright.
Well, if I was smiling,
it's because I'm happy
- TC is is a free man.
- Okay, whatever.
Can you just take me back
to Robin's Nest
so I can sort out this ridiculousness.
We'll see you at La Mariana later.
See you soon, guys. See you later.

We could cruise by Magic Island.

How you doing? Thomas Magnum.
Thank you both for coming. Of course.
How can we help you?
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Man, um, three days ago,
my buddy Adam and I were
headed home from La Mariana.
I had a few, but Adam didn't drink,
so I asked him to drive my car.

Adam.
The other driver was an off-duty cop.
Officer Grant Sadao.
He died in the crash,
and then Adam died
less than an hour later.
After the accident,
I woke up in the hospital
and found out I was being
charged with both their deaths.
Wait, why would they do that?
Well, when the paramedics got there,
they found us lying on the ground
outside the car, unconscious.
There was no way of telling
who was driving,
but since it was my car
They figured you were the one driving
and had been under the influence.
Yeah.
PA is ready to make
an example out of me.
My lawyer worked out a plea deal.
Eight years for negligent homicide,
instead of 25 for
gross vehicular manslaughter.
It's, um
[VOICE BREAKING] it's the best
deal I'll ever get.
I'm about to go away for
eight years when I'm innocent.
I've tried telling the cops
I wasn't the one driving,
but they don't believe me.
And they say based on my injuries,
they can't determine
which seat I was in.
So there's no proof
I wasn't at the wheel.
But there was someone else
at the crash that night.
Someone who knows the truth.
I was fading, and it was dark.
- [GLASS SHATTERS]
- There was this guy.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
♪♪
He pulled us out.
Saved my life.
[WEAKLY] Wait. Come back.
I called to him, but he didn't answer.
And the only thing I remember
is a pair of angel wings
on his back as he was leaving.
Angel wings?
I know, it it sounds crazy,
but you gotta believe me.
Okay? There's someone out there
who can prove I'm innocent.
Look, I know it's a long shot
but do you think you can find him?
MAGNUM: Justin's right.
It's a long shot.
On the plus side, the expiration
date on a plea deal
is normally a couple of months,
so that gives me time.
How long do you have
until you have to accept a plea?
That's the thing.
PA is playing hardball.
The deal expires in five hours.
♪♪
Why wouldn't this man
stay on the scene to give a statement?
Best guess is he had a reason
- not to talk to the cops.
- Well, given my status,
I really shouldn't be
working on this case,
but under the circumstances,
maybe it's better to ask for forgiveness
- than permission.
- Ah, something I would say.
I don't know if I should be
proud or freaked out.
Well, look, there's a lot
at stake here, Thomas.
You're gonna need
all the help you can get.
You just focus on
getting your license back.
I'll be fine, alright?
I'd rather work one case without you
- than lose you as a partner for good.
- Alright.
I was actually about to head out to see
the exam administrator about a retake.
Just offer him a couple tickets
to an Island Hoppers tour.
Thomas, first of all,
I am not going to bribe
a government official,
and second, that is a tired bribe.
[LAUGHS] Yeah, tired because it works.
Look, I'm just going to appeal
to his good nature,
and that will seal the deal.
Alright. Good luck.
Look, I know how this goes, okay?
With Higgins' sidelined,
you're gonna ask me for a favor,
which is probably illegal
and will most likely
end up in me getting shot at.
So let's skip the formalities
and just say I'll tag along, okay?
[LAUGHS] Okay, alright. You're in.
Great. Where do we start?
Well, we basically have
to find a missing person
we know nothing about.
But to exonerate Justin,
all we got to do is prove
he wasn't the one behind
the wheel during the accident.
Okay. How do we do that?
Well, just because Justin's
injuries were inconclusive
doesn't mean Adam's were.
We got to take a look at his body.

♪♪
Hello, again.
It's Jamie, isn't it?
- I know you.
- Yeah.
You were one of the
late-comers this morning.
How'd you find me?
Well, I am a private investigator.
Not anymore, you're not.
You flunked, remember?
Look, Jamie, uh, I came to ask if
if you might allow me
to retake the test.
Sure.
The next exam is in three months.
- I'll see you then.
- Wait. No, hang on.
No. Look, lady, I only
get half an hour for lunch,
and my dog is getting cold.
So, in the future, be on time.
I had to choose between being punctual
and helping somebody who
was desperately in need.
I chose the latter.
I like to think,
were you in the same situation,
you might do the same thing.
Please.
I may not be a private investigator
at this very moment, but
I would very much like to be one again.
♪♪
Adam Webber. 31 years old.
Didn't suffer any noticeable
clavicle injuries
that would indicate where he was sitting
during the crash.
Looks like he has bruising
on both sides of his body.
How is that even possible?
Officer Sadao's vehicle
struck your client's car
at a 90-degree angle.
Since the impact came from the side,
it resulted in lateral
rather than medial injuries.
Okay. So, what now?
What is this black streak on his shirt?
That?
Crime lab tested a sample.
Came back as axle grease.
Axle grease.
Axle grease.
Now, you know, I could understand
melted rubber or brake fluid,
but axle grease?
That only comes from wheel bearings.
Yeah, and hard to believe it would
get on his shirt during the crash.
Unless the grease came
from whoever it was
that pulled Justin out of the crash.
Maybe whoever we're looking for
is a mechanic.
Okay. Alright.
Well, if that's the case,
there are 24 auto body shops on Oahu.
You want to divide and conquer?
[SIGHS]
Actually, remember you said
the guy who pulled
Justin out of the crash
had angel wings on his back?
Yeah.
Angel's Auto Shop.
[TOOL CLICKING]
What's an auto body shop doing closed
in the middle of the day?
I don't know.
Anybody here?
Hello?
Let's see if we can find
a list of employees.
It might help us track down
who could have been at the crash.
Oh, man.

♪♪
Hey, Rick.
MAGNUM: He's got the angel wings.
What the hell happened here?
[SIGHS]
I don't know.
But if this is the guy
who saved Justin
then the only person who can
exonerate him is dead.
♪♪
No ID on our victim,
but Live Scan identified him
as Angel Daniels.
He owns the business.
Only, it turns out it's just a front,
for a chop-shop operation.
You think he could be the
witness from Justin's accident?
That seems unlikely.
Location data on Angel's cell
placed him in Kahuku three nights ago.
He was nowhere near the crash.
Yeah, but I still think it was
somebody who worked here.
May Maybe, you know,
they were driving by the
accident in a stolen car
but decided to get out and help.
Well, that would explain
why they didn't sit around
and talk to the cops.
Yeah, maybe.
What do you mean, maybe?
Well, I mean HPD's not
convinced your friend's
telling the truth about what happened.
To us, it still looks like
he's a drunk driver
who killed two innocent people.
One of whom was a decorated officer.
UNI: Detective?
Yeah, be right there.
Look, before you waste your time,
you might want to consider
that this witness might not even exist.
[SIGHS]
Unbelievable.
I figured Gordie would've had
had our backs on this.
I mean, Gordie's in a tight spot. Right?
If HPD thinks Justin's the killer,
he can't pursue a lead
unless he has hard evidence.
Well, then, we'd better figure out
which one of Angel's guys
is our Good Samaritan.
♪♪
What is it?
Do you remember Angel's body,
the position he was in
when we found him?
Yeah, of course.
He was strung up in a stress position
that's typically used for interrogation.
Exactly. I-It's like somebody
was trying to get
information out of him.
I'm thinking maybe
maybe they're looking
for the same person we are.
Thank you so much, again, for this.
Consider this your lucky day.
Yeah.
- You have 60 minutes.
- Alright.
- Ready?
- Yes.
- [CELLPHONE RINGS]
- Oh, sorry. Uh
I'll I'll silence it.
Oh, um, it's my partner.
I-I'll just
I'll tell him I can't be disturbed.
[INHALES DEEPLY] Hi.
Uh, this is not a good time, Thomas.
I see. Right. Um
[WHISPERS] I'm afraid
I'm gonna have to take this.
I'll be right back.
I'm so sorry.
[WATCH BEEPS]
[KEYBOARD CLACKING, LAPTOP BEEPS]
Okay, so, I accessed Angel's phone
using the number that you provided.
It looks like he
communicated with his crew
using an encrypted messaging app
named Secrecity.
MAGNUM: Encrypted meaning
we can't see the messages?
Ordinarily, but I checked
the guy's auto-fill settings,
and he used the same password
over multiple platforms,
so I was able to access his account.
Any idea who our
Good Samaritan might be?
Well, I found a thread between Angel
and two car thieves named Will and Kai,
who apparently work as a team.
It sounds like Angel hadn't
heard from Will in three days.
The accident was three nights ago.
Will could be our Good Samaritan.
Yeah. After Angel asked about Will,
Kai replied, "Don't worry about him.
I've got you."
Yeah, it sounds like Will's laying low
and his partner might know where.
Yeah. The problem is the Secrecity app
encrypts users' personal
info and location data,
so I'm not going to be
able to track Kai.
Then how do we find him?
Well, we might not be
able to trace messages
back to the source, but
we can still send one.
- SHAMMY: You got this.
- TC: I don't know.
You think flowers are enough?
Quit stalling.
Okay.

I came to bring you flowers.
I'm sorry, Captain.
We can pick this up later.
My bad. I sh should
have gave you a heads up.
I just wanted to know
if you had some time to talk.
Now you want to talk?
I've been trying to reach you
for the last six weeks.
If it weren't for Kumu,
I never would have known
you'd been hurt.
You can't just show up out of the blue
after blowing me off like that.
I-I didn't want you to see me laid up.
I-I didn't think you'd want to.
You don't get to make
those decisions for me.
Not when we're supposed
to be in a relationship.

This is not the place
to have this discussion.
Okay, well, can we meet up
later and talk things out?
There's nothing to say.
I'm done.
♪♪
♪♪
You sure this is a good idea?
It's a little late
to be asking that, right?
We already sent the message
from Angel's Secrecity account.
No, I mean is it a good
idea to use the Ferrari
as bait to lure Kai?
It's not even your car, pal.
You know, you're doing a really
great job filling in for Higgy.
You even sound like her.
You know, I almost got busted
in a sting like this back in Chicago.
Tried to steal a Honda Accord,
but cops were staking it out.
How'd you get out of that one?
Well, one of them owed
Icepick money, so
Why is it that every story of you being
a juvenile delinquent ends
with you getting busted?
What do you mean?
I got away with plenty of stuff.
Okay, well, do tell.
I'd love to hear one story
where you don't get busted.
Well, um
Hold that Hold that thought.
I think this is our guy.

Okay, so, unlike you,
I'd actually take care not to crash it.

Alright, so what do you want?
Well, let's ignore the fact that
you're driving a stolen car.
We're trying to help your partner, Will.
Is he in trouble? Your boss, Angel?
He was murdered.
No. [SCOFFS]
No, 'cause he just reached out
about the Ferrari.
No, he didn't.
That was us, using his account.
We're the ones who sent the message.
Whoever killed Angel
was probably after Will,
so i-is there any way
you can put us in contact with him?
I mean, I just have a number for him.
But it's not gonna do you any good
'cause he hasn't answered
in a couple days.
And I just figured he went off grid.
Do you have any idea
where he might be hiding?
Any information you have
will help us keep him safe.

Yeah. There's
There's a place he goes to lay low
when things get too heated.

- Hello, Gordon.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
Hey. What are you doing here?
Well, I heard about your
murdered chop-shop owner,
and I was just wondering
how your investigation is progressing.
Well, I'll be honest.
There's not much to go on.
None of Angel's associates or rivals
were in the area that night.
But there was a silver SUV
close by around TOD.
Okay, and and were you
able to check the plates?
Yeah, turns out it was being rented
by some Saudi Arabian
nationals staying on the island.
Saudis? What would they want
- with a small-time criminal like Angel?
- I don't know.
I'm not even sure there's a connection.
But, hey, I heard you
flunked your PI exam.
Should you be investigating?
[SCOFFS]
I'm not. I'm not.
I'm just I'm here
entirely out of my own curiosity.
Listen, we believe that
the Good Samaritan that
Magnum is looking for
is actually a car thief named Will.
We also think that whoever killed Angel
is after him, as well.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
I'm trying to retrace Will's steps.
I'm just, uh, wondering
if you might be able
to give me a little help.
What kind of help?
So, Will's phone went offline
about 20 minutes before the accident.
It last pinged off Moanalua Place.
And I was just wondering
if there were any cars
stolen in the area that night.
Let me check the logs.
[KEYBOARD CLACKING, MONITOR BEEPS]
Nothing was called in,
but it might not have been reported yet.
Well, where there any
traffic cameras in the area
that might have spotted him?
Well, I'll pull up the footage.
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
Alright, there are four traffic cams
near Moanalua Place.
- Hang on.
- What?
That's Officer Sadao's car.
The cop that died in
the accident that night?
Yeah, but what was he doing in
the same area as your car thief?
Is it Is it possible
that Will was in the car
with Officer Sadao?
Why would they be in the same car?
Well Well, maybe Officer Sadao
had Will under arrest.
If Will was arrested,
Sadao didn't call it in.
Maybe he just didn't have a chance.
Or Or maybe Will
was a confidential informant.
I mean, either way,
that would explain why
Will fled the scene, right?
Yeah. I'll dig into Sadao's cases,
- see if I can find a connection.
- Okay.
So, this is where old cars go to die.
Hey, you know, maybe we can
find you a side mirror
to replace the one we lost.
I think you mean the one you lost.
- Alright.
- I will head out this way.
Where you going?
I thought we were headed to the office.
Oh. 9 times out of 10,

that got Angel, then there's probably
still some people out there
that want me dead.
- And you still have no idea why?
- [CELLPHONE CHIMES]
Nope.
Well, according to my partner,
you might have stolen the wrong car.
Sadao was using HPD resources
to track down a stolen car
that belonged to Raymond Morris.
Who's that?
A state senator. Deals with land rights.
I-I'm guessing he hired Sadao
off the books to find you.
This is the car. Does it look familiar?
Yeah, I boosted it a few days ago,
and then I turned it over to Angel
and kept the stuff inside
for myself, like I always do.
What What stuff?
A suit, laptop, pair of shoes.
You know, normal things.
Laptop belonging to a state senator?
Might have some incriminating evidence,
maybe something worth killing over.
If we can figure out
what was on that laptop,
maybe we can find out
why he wants you dead.
Sounds like a plan,
but there's only one problem.
I don't have the laptop anymore.
Of course he doesn't have the laptop.
- Where is it?
- I sold it to a fence.
Okay. Alright.
If I can get my partner
to pick up the laptop,
will you go with us to HPD?

MAGNUM: Yeah. What's going on?
Well, unfortunately,
the fence who purchased

If there's something bad
on there, then it's gone now.
Yeah, but they're gonna want
to see for themselves.

at whatever it was first.
Hey, is there any chance we could
recover the lost data?
Look, I-I'm working on it,
but I did find something
else that's of note.
So, it looks like someone else
tried to remotely wipe the laptop,
but they failed to do so because
it wasn't online for long enough.
I'm guessing that was Senator Morris.
And when the wipe failed,
he reached out to Sadao.
HIGGINS: Right. He was
specifically trying to erase files
that mentioned something
called Kenstal Global.
So, I did some digging,
and this is where it gets interesting.
Kenstal Global is in fact
a Saudi Arabian-owned shell corporation.
Wait. Didn't Katsumoto
say a car rented by some Saudis
was near the chop shop
at the time of Angel's murder?
Yeah. Yeah, he did.
I-I-I'm still trying to figure out
how all these pieces fit together.
Hey, uh, what kind of car did Katsumoto
say the Saudis were driving?
It was a silver SUV, I think. Why?
Because I'm pretty sure
they're tailing us right now.
They're coming up fast.
Higgins, call Katsumoto.
Give him our location.
We're gonna try to get to the precinct.
Yeah. O-Okay. I'm on it.

and I was just wondering
how your investigation is progressing.
Well, I'll be honest.
There's not much to go on.
None of Angel's associates or rivals
were in the area that night.
But there was a silver SUV
close by around TOD.
Okay, and and were you
able to check the plates?
Yeah, turns out it was being rented
by some Saudi Arabian

Saudis? What would they want

about 20 minutes before the accident.

traffic cameras in the area

near Moanalua Place.

the same area as your car thief?
Is it Is it possible
that Will was in the car

Well Well, maybe Officer Sadao
had Will under arrest.
If Will was arrested,
Sadao didn't call it in.
Maybe he just didn't have a chance.

you might have stolen the wrong car.
Sadao was using HPD resources
to track down a stolen car
that belonged to Raymond Morris.
Who's that?
A state senator. Deals with land rights.
I-I'm guessing he hired Sadao
off the books to find you.
This is the car. Does it look familiar?
Yeah, I boosted it a few days ago,
and then I turned it over to Angel

Hey, is there any chance we could
recover the lost data?
Look, I-I'm working on it,
but I did find something
else that's of note.
So, it looks like someone else
tried to remotely wipe the laptop,
but they failed to do so because
it wasn't online for long enough.
I'm guessing that was Senator Morris.
And when the wipe failed,
he reached out to Sadao.
HIGGINS: Right. He was
specifically trying to erase files
that mentioned something
called Kenstal Global.
So, I did some digging,
and this is where it gets interesting.
Kenstal Global is in fact
a Saudi Arabian-owned shell corporation.

was near the chop shop
at the time of Angel's murder?
Yeah. Yeah, he did.

their shell corporation
to buy up large swathes
of agricultural land here in Hawaii.
Thing is, the farmland
here was allocated
for Native Hawaiian use.
Morris was receiving a kickback
