Previously on Hawaii Five-O...
What are you doing in my house? Who are you?
I'm Marco Reyes.
When your brother disappeared,
he was in possession of a significant amount my money.
Okay. How much money?
18-and-a-half million dollars.
You have until Monday to bring my money to this address.
What happens if I don't bring you the money?
You'll get a package with your brother's head in it.
Three years ago, Matt gets on that plane.
Not a single piece of luggage,
but he's supposed to have 18-and-a-half million dollars.
If that's the case, then it's here on the island.
So, what? How you supposed to find it?
About a month after he disappeared,
he sent me a postcard.
Yeah? What'd it say? Did it mention the money?
No, he didn't mention the money.
He just wrote, “Wish you were here.”
It was a picture of this remote area
on Oahu with a rock formation and a couple of palm trees.
Danny!
Hey, Danny?
In here.
Whoa.
You were right.
Yeah. Um...
Except for the fact that, uh, Reyes said that Matty owed him
18-and-a-half million dollars.
You see, this is only $13 million.
Are you sure?
Yes, I am positive-- I counted it three times.
So, Matty must have taken some to help himself disappear.
Yeah.
And now I am, uh,
five-and-a-half million dollars short.
And I have two days to come up with all of it,
or, um... my brother's dead.

Hey, I'm here to see Ko.
He doesn't like talking to cops.
I understand.
Uh, I'm not here as a cop, though.
I'll get back to you.
What is he doing here?
I, uh... I need a favor.
Hey.
Listen, Steve told me about the money.
Ah.
I figured you'd come here first.
Uh... well, he turned me down.
Danny, that's a good thing.
The last thing you want in this world is
to owe a man like Ko.
Right. Well, if it meant saving my brother,
I'd go for it, you know?
I hear that.
But there are other ways.
Really?
I'm short five-and-a-half million dollars.
I really don't see any other ways.
I may have one.
Aloha and welcome
to Honolulu International Airport.
Please proceed to baggage claim to collect all checked bags.
We hope you enjoy a wonderful stay in our island paradise.
Mahalo.
Excuse me, Mr. Bristol? Gordon Bristol?
I'm Gordon Bristol.
Sir, can you please come with us?
What's going on?
Have I done something wrong?
Why did you come to Hawaii, Mr. Bristol?
Why does anyone come to Hawaii?
See the ocean, work on my tan.
Is that a problem?
Is this your bag, sir?
Yes.
Mr. Bristol, we randomly search luggage for security reasons,
and your bag came to our attention.
Would you like to explain
why you were transporting a weapon onto the island of Oahu?
There's been a mistake.
I... have never seen that before in my life.
I don't even own a gun.
Mr. Bristol,
illegal transportation of an unregistered firearm,
as well as being in possession of a sound suppressor
are felonies in the state of Hawaii,
as well as being a violation of Federal statutes.
I'm afraid we're gonna be detaining you,
pending Federal arrest.
If you'll please stand up,
place your hands behind your back.
Was fur ein spiel.
Unglaublich, wie wir zuruckkamen,
um zu gewinnen.
What a match.
I am surprised we came back to win.
All right.
Coconut shrimp.
Sweet and sour sauce?
All you can dip.
Mmm.
From the ocean to the deep fryer,
to your sophisticated palate.
I am most pleased
that our midfielders played with aggression.
Surveillance suspect sounds like a robot.
That's a computer program.
The guy in the bookstore is speaking German,
and I don't speak German.
It is also fortuitous that the keeper cleared the foot
to prevent the equalizer from drinking.
And your robot needs to work on its English.
So, I take it there's been no chatter
about the counterfeiting?
No, just a bunch of talk about soccer.
But I'm convinced our guy's gonna broker a deal
with the German to unload his counterfeit money any day now.
Or... maybe they just like soccer.
You know, in other countries, they call it football?
Doesn't seem right.
Trust me, he's just luring his buyer
with a mutual affection for sports.
Just laying the groundwork for the deal.
And when he makes it, I'll be listening.
So I take it you're gonna need more shrimp.
I'll just throw it on your tab.
In my experience,
the key to surveillance is patience and stamina.
Your experience?
Trust me.
It's only a matter of time
before he slips up and proves me right.
Got a real mess in there.
Our suspect is traveling under the name Gordon Bristol.
That's an alias.
We know that he boarded the red eye from Detroit last night.
His luggage gets flagged...
because of this.
Beretta 92FS,
with an extra 15-round clip and a cobra sound suppressor.
That's not exactly a sportsman's gun.
Where is this guy Bristol now? What happened?
Oh, he escaped.
But not before he took down five guys in the TSA holding room.
Five guys? Took down five guys by himself?
With his bare hands.
All right, Lou, listen to me:
Contact Detroit PD.
Let's get them prints, surveillance photos,
whatever we can of this guy,
see if they can tell us who he really is.
All right, you got it.
Gas must be cheap these days, 'cause this is the second time
that you've come out here for nothing.
I'm not here about my problem with IA.
Right.
Because if you were, you'd be on your knees,
begging me to tell them you didn't take my bribe.
Well, if the truth still matters,
I've got nothing to worry about.
Good luck with that.
Looks like you've been having trouble making friends in here.
I got enough friends on the outside.
So do I.
I'm here about one of them.
Let me guess.
This pal of yours is in trouble.
Needs some sort of financial assistance.
This isn't for me.
And there's a clock on this.
He's almost out of options.
How much help does your friend need?
Five-and-a-half million dollars' worth.
Oh, is that all?
And if the money isn't there?
My friend's brother dies.
Tell your friend I'll give him 500 for a black suit.
We're done here.
Guy's real name is Stegner, first name Joseph.
38 years old.
No known employment history
outside the construction business.
He owns a house in West Bloomfield, Michigan--
tony little suburb outside of Detroit.
This guy lives pretty high on the hog for somebody
who supposedly spent his whole life swinging a hammer.
Got a criminal record?
Well, according to Detroit PD,
Stegner's name's been connected
to a few beat-downs and a couple homicides,
the first being a gunned-down
union boss, and the second
a juror who was killed in a hit and run.
Now, Stegner has been brought in a few times
for questioning on both these murders.
Never charged.
Okay, so organized crime
is alive and well up in the Motor City.
Yes, sir.
And according to his jacket,
Stegner is supposed to have close ties
with the Bagosa family.
And what do we know about them?
The Bagosa family is one of
the 24 original crime families.
Now, most people, when they think of Detroit,
they think about either cars
or being the murder capitol of the country.
The Bagosa family is one of the most active
crime syndicates in the country.
And that is because of this guy.
Albert Bagosa,
third-generation crime boss.
Rules with an iron fist.
The guy simply will not tolerate dissent.
Okay, so Bagosa sends
Stegner down here to do a job,
with his tools.
He gets snagged by a random bag check,
is detained and then escapes, right?
Right. The question is, who is the target,
and is Stegner still planning on taking them out?
Hey, security cameras at the Ward Center
just picked up our suspect.
Well... you gotta give the guy some credit.
He ain't scared of too much.
Well, he left the airport in a hurry.
He's probably trying to drain all of his accounts
before they get shut down.
All right, that ATM is in the center of the mall.
Kono, use those security cameras to track him out of there.
And call HPD, tell them to secure the perimeter.
Every street. We're on our way.
Kono, you got him?
He's heading east, past the movie theaters.
HPD has the perimeter locked down.
Hey, I got him.
I got him. Easy, easy.
A lot of collateral.
We've been compromised.
Kono, don't lose him.
He's headed for Ala Moana.
Hold it right there! Hold it right there!
Don't move!
Get down on the ground!
On your knees, put your hands behind your head.
Okay, okay...
I don't have him.
Does this make any sense to you?
A contract killer comes into town
to do a piece of work,
and then he's the one who gets taken out.
Could be the intended target finds out about Stegner,
decides to get preemptive and gets the jump on him.
If that's the case,
our man is no ordinary mark.
He took out a major bad-ass from 100 yards away
and then escaped a police cordon.
Yeah.
Great. So we traded up.
Commander, HPD just found the suspect's vehicle
abandoned at George Street.
Detective Williams is already on the way.
Go, go ahead. I got this.
You find anything?
Blood.
Look like you hit him.
Hey, Pua?
Have CSU process this vehicle
and get officers searching every hospital on the island.
All right? Yes, Commander.
You really think this is the kind of guy
that's going to go to the hospital?
Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll drop dead
before it's a consideration.
I'm starving.
What did you end up getting?
Same as always. Can't go wrong.
You try the spicy?
Take it to go.
Still no word from Chin?
No.
You know what, partner?
We can get on a plane right now and settle this.
You see, that is why I love you, buddy.
You're always willing to risk both of our lives
at any given moment, huh?
Listen, man, I'll go through the door first
if it makes you feel better. Oh, you would?
What's up?
Danny, I'm sorry.
Look, you're just gonna have to set new terms.
Go down there in a couple of days,
give Reyes half the money, and then tell him
he'll get the other half when Matty's released.
That's great. That's great.
What happens when he finds out I do not have the other half?
That I am five and a half million dollars short?
And what does he do?
He comes here, and he takes Grace?
I can't do that. Okay, this thing ends,
and that son of a bitch gets every penny, okay?
Thank you for trying.
So I ran that blood you guys found
in your gunman's car and got a hit.
Meet Nick Mercer.
Michigan authorities say he is a highly skilled and proficient
contract killer for the Bagosa family.
That's the same
crime family Stegner worked for.
Okay, so we got one hit man killing another hit man.
What are we looking at here?
Family feud? Personal vendetta?
Maybe Stegner offended Bagosa in some way,
or there's an internal power struggle amongst the help.
Or maybe Mercer wanted a contract
that was given to Stegner.
Oh. If you're right,
then we need to identify who the target is.
Unless the job's already been done.
Man you're looking for is a ruthless,
stone-cold contract killer.
I've worked organized crime all over the country--
New York, Chicago, Miami.
Never seen anything like Mercer.
He's a world-class house painter
whose expertise is the “White Death,”
that is, making people disappear.
Mostly jurors, witnesses, cops trying to do their job,
anyone who can potentially hurt the Bagosa family.
He's rumored to have over 100 kills,
and we've never been able to touch him.
He's that good. You just know he's been there
because his victims are never seen or heard from again.
On the street, they call him “Valentine.”
- Oh, that's cute. - Why Valentine?
Because people who know him say he doesn't have a heart.
100 kills means he has a lot of enemies.
Killing Stegner must have just put
the Bagosa family at the top of that list.
Unless the hit was sanctioned,
Valentine's going to have to pay for it.
All right, Agent Chapman, what have you got
on this man's personal life?
Not much. A surveillance package was assigned to him,
but the judge wouldn't renew the request
after it yielded no suspicious activity.
We do know he spent some time at a hospital recently,
following a car accident,
but we can't get the medical records.
Bagosa brought in his own team of doctors
to perform the surgery.
You said the accident was recent?
Yeah, two years ago.
After that, Valentine dropped off the grid,
then presumably returned back to work, never skipping a beat.
And here's what you need to know:
This man's efficient.
He doesn't linger, he doesn't collect trophies.
There's no ego involved in what he does.
And if he's still on your island,
you can expect some more bodies.
There's too much blood.
I can't even see the bullet,
let alone assess the damage.
If it hit an artery, and I extract it, you could bleed out.
Let us give you something for the pain.
Do I look like someone who cares about pain?
She's trying to help.
Focus.
Donna, stabilize this.
You want to tell me who shot you?
Maybe where it happened?
Anyone you want us to contact?
Look, I can't get to the slug
without a CAT scan or an X-ray.
Let us take you to the hospital.
Straub Clinic is only a few miles down the road.
We can be there in ten minutes.
Dumb move, slick.
We found him. He's on the move.
HPD received a 911 call, and they got a lock
on the ambulance he stole.
I got him. Hold on.
Oh, no.
I was hoping he wouldn't do that.
Punch it! He's getting away!
I got my foot on the floor here.
Seriously?
Seriously! All right, you know what?
Let's get something straight here, Chicago. I don't like it
when Danny criticizes my driving, the same goes for you.
You got it? Would you relax your giggle hole?
My what? Listen.
It's not a criticism.
I think you drive fine. I'm just saying
I think the Camaro would come in handy right about now.
You don't say.
He's slowing down!
What the hell's he doing?
Hands! Let me see your hands!
Moving.
Get out of the vehicle right now!
He's lost a lot of blood.
Call an ambulance.
Isn't this ironic?
How you doing?
I'm Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett, Five-O.
This is Lieutenant Kelly, Captain Grover.
Now we know who you are, Valentine.
And we also know that you work for Albert Bagosa.
See, the thing we can't figure out
is, uh, is why you would kill your,
your associate Joseph Stegner.
Was it business or was it personal?
A little of both.
Well, you could've whacked Stegner back in Detroit,
saved yourself the airfare.
Why fly all the way out here to do it?
Have you ever been to Detroit in the wintertime?
Yeah.
Walked right into that one.
All right, how many more people on your list?
I'm not here to kill anyone.
I'm here to protect people.
What people?
The ones Bagosa hid me to take out.
That doesn't make any sense.
So you expect us to believe
that you didn't fulfill those contracts?
If you wanted the truth,
that's it.
All right.
Why the change of heart?
Sometimes things happen that...
...change a person's perspective on life.
Well, that's...
that's some deep and soulful stuff
for a man who's killed over a hundred people.
Two years ago...
middle of a thunderstorm,
I got into a head-on with a moving van
with bad brakes.
Doctors said I suffered
a traumatic ventricular
failure.
That there was a 100% certainty I would die
if I didn't get a new heart.
Okay, how'd you get to the top of the list?
You gentlemen forget who I work for.
Man like Albert Bagosa doesn't get wait-listed.
I needed a new heart.
He got me one.
Not that he had any great affection for me.
He just needed me to get back to work.
I was told...
that my heart belonged to a very special young man.
He taught at about
the worst school in the city.
Served meals at the local soup kitchen.
Built houses for the homeless
during his summer break.
Then one day, this solid citizen,
this... man who lived
to make a difference,
got hit by a drunk driver while crossing the street.
And it was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me.
'Cause I got a piece of him.
After that, things changed.
Went about my business
the way I always done it.
But when it came to the moment of truth,
couldn't go through with it.
Just couldn't pull the trigger.
And it kept happening contract after contract.
Something happened when I got that new heart.
I began thinking of the people
I was asked to kill.
Their loved ones.
Their families.
What did they do to deserve me?
Okay. Well, if your story's true,
that can't have made Mr. Bagosa happy.
I never told Bagosa.
Every contract I got,
I pretended to fill it.
So, what about all the people you're supposed to kill?
What happened to them?
I found a safe place to hide them.
You created
your own witness protection program.
That's right.
An entire community
made up of people that didn't deserve to die.
But somehow Bagosa found out.
Then how is it that you're still walking around?
I'm that good.
That's why Bagosa
sent Stegner to Hawaii, huh?
To kill those people that you've been hiding?
Those people are innocent.
I couldn't let Stegner end their lives.
- You think I'm lying? - I think
you just told a really great campfire story.
The only things missing are the marshmallows.
The only way we can know if you're telling the truth
is if you tell us where you stashed those people.
So where are they?
If I tell you, I put those people at risk.
That's just not gonna happen.
Boy, I have heard some fairy tales
in 30 years as a cop,
but this one beats all of 'em.
It's out there.
But I give him points for originality.
If he made it up,
it was well-rehearsed.
Come on... you're not buying this, are you?
Every gun-for-hire
has an exit strategy, in case he gets pinched.
This guy's story is probably just something to distract us
from what he's really here to do.
Yeah, or it's real and he's telling the truth.
We gotta dig into this. We gotta dig into this.
Let's see if Detroit can corroborate.
Lieutenant Kelly.
I've been thinking about your friend's situation.
And?
Maybe we can do a little quid pro quo.
That is, if my welfare means anything to you.
It doesn't.
Just keep talking.
Turns out some of the guys in general pop
don't like the fact that I'm related to Five-O.
Well, maybe you should have thought of that
before you killed my father.
Look, what's done is done.
Nothing can change that.
But what can change is your friend's situation.
Tell me what you want.
Immediate transfer to the special holding unit
at the high security facility.
There I'll get a private cell
and private rec time, and for that,
I am willing to pay five and a half
million dollars.
So I was able to track down paperwork
from a surgical supply company
verifying Valentine's heart transplant.
It was all paid for by Bagosa.
But there's not much more post-surgery.
Valentine said he stashed those people somewhere,
which means he could've bought land.
The problem with Valentine is that he's in a cash business.
Right? Right. So it's unlikely
he's the kind of guy that's gonna use his real name
on anything, so there's no financials,
no way to trace any real estate transactions.
Then where the hell
is Valentine hiding all these people he was supposed to kill?
My assistant said you rang.
Yeah, your mom didn't sound too happy when I called.
Is everything all right?
- Eh, she's got seller's remorse. - Hey, congrats
on selling your house. Not my house.
It's my mom's.
Which means I'm in the market for a new basement,
if any of you are looking for
a friendly nonsmoker willing
to trade light housework for room and board.
Well, if you hear of anything then.
Cool. How can I help?
So, listen, if somebody wanted to live off the grid,
Jerry, and I'm talking like Big Brother-fearing,
income tax-avoiding, way, way off the grid,
- where would they go? - We're talking no phone service,
no nosey tourists, no contact with the outside world.
What they're trying to say is where do
your like-minded friends all live?
How many people we looking at?
Maybe a dozen, possibly more.
Right. And it'd need to be a place
that has the resources
to sustain a community like that
for a long period of time.
So you're saying,
like, if Amelia Earhart had come to Hawaii to fake her death
instead of Howland Island?
Ye... Sure, Jerry.
Well, that's easy.
Two places: west coast of Molokai
or the Lanai rainforest.
If you wanted to disappear, either place would work.
Right.
Special Agent Chapman.
Any progress on your end?
I'm afraid we have a new development, Commander.
What's that?
One of my most reliable C.I.s
just told me a plane chartered
by one of Bagosa's front companies
left Detroit four hours ago
headed west with a manifest of six.
And they just lost contact with the plane.
We're pretty sure they're avoiding radar contact.
You got trouble headed your way.
Six guys, a lot of muscle.
They're not just coming for Valentine.
They're coming for the people he's hiding, too.
We gotta move.
Listen to me very carefully--
if you care about those people that you're hiding,
you need to tell us where they are right now.
What's going on?
There's a plane in the air,
with six guys on it-- they're coming here
to finish the job your pal Stegner couldn't.
All right, so I'm gonna say it one more time:
if they mean anything to you, anything at all,
you need to give us their location, you understand?
How do I know you're not lying?
You tell us where they are, you can help us save them.
They're five miles from here.
In an abandoned summer camp.
I made a map for you.
All right, thanks.
It's all there, just like we agreed on.
Okay. Mahalo.
Alright. Let's go.
Spread out.
Generator is running out of fuel.
Somebody's gonna have to go into town for supplies.
I can do that tomorrow morning before it gets too busy.
I'll tell the others, get them to make their lists.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're running low
on some of the essentials.
We're gonna need some more batteries,
and I think we're pretty low on fishing line.
It worked.
Told you.
Hey, how about a little love for the maestro?
Good work, Jerry.
Thanks, sistah.
I got movement, Jerry.
One diversion, coming right up.
Hey, have you seen my pocket knife?
Did you lose it again?
Maybe one of the kids took it.
I don't believe it-- toaster's broken again.
Little help, here.
Freeze!
Hello, boss.
Do you have any idea what you're doing, Valentine?
Asking you politely to put down your gun.
You know me better than anyone.
I'll blow your damn head off right here.
Take him away.
My pleasure.
I saved your life.
In ways you'll never know.
All right, you want to step this way, sir?
Got a nice little cage for you.
Thank you.
Let's go.
All right, it's all here-- five-and-a-half million.
You're gonna maybe tell me where, uh, where it came from?
Anonymous donor.
That donor wouldn't
happen to, uh, be somebody who's related to you, would it?
He was, once.
He means nothing to me now.
This is gonna cost you in ways
that you could not possibly predict.
You know that, right?
Why don't you let me worry about that.
You just worry about getting your brother back.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you, brother. Yeah.
I mean it.
You made it with an hour to spare.
You brought a little friend, too-- that's nice.
Look, it's-it's all there, okay?
Just, uh, let me see my brother now.
Please.
You're right.
Deal's a deal.
Matty!
It's Danny. I'm here!
Do you want to take him with you
or would you prefer that we ship him?
Danny...
Danny!
Get up... get up!
Okay, all right. Okay, all right.
All right. Listen to me.
Do yourself a favor and kill me now,
'cause I promise you-- I promise you, I'm gonna
put you in the ground the first chance I get.
No, you listen to me:
Take some advice: go home.
And if you love your daughter,
you won't ever come back to Colombia
again, do you understand?
Yeah.
Fernando!
What'd I just tell you, huh?
What'd I say?
Huh?
What'd I tell you? Huh?
What'd I say?
Okay. Look at me.
You look at me, look at me, look at me.
That's it.
