We got your recording star.
What you're gonna do
is bring half a million to Honolulu.
They're irrational and unpredictable, the most dangerous kind of kidnapper.
I want you to know that, Mr. Ducco.
Hey, cop, one more shot from you, I'm gonna blow her away.
- How do you know you can find her? - We don't.
But there's hope if you tell us what's going on.
- Every move they make, every contact. - Hold it.
Hey! Now I got you, pig.
- Bobbie Jo, would you sign this? - Sure.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
- Airport? - Right.
Thank you.
Are we talking about the same airport?
Honolulu International?
Yeah, they're repairing the regular route.
It's all torn up.
You're headed in the opposite direction.
Yeah, I took the wrong turn, this will get us there.
Just pull over here. I can't waste any more time.
I know where we are.
Well, I don't, and I want out.
I'll pay you, don't worry.
- Come on, we're changing cars. - Is this some kind of kidnapping?
You're very perceptive. Now move.
If it is, you're gonna draw insufficient funds.
- I loaned all my money to friends. - Just get your body in that wagon.
You can bargain all you want in there.
- Come on. - Okay.
Okay, Bobbie.
You don't wanna be a hard case, because my partner's got no manners.
You understand that?
Look, I do have some money in the bank.
You can have all of it. Just let me go. Please?
Here's a cassette recorder.
You're gonna do a request number.
Come on, move.
Any problems?
Eh, she's no pussycat. You gotta watch her.
I told you you should've let me pick her up.
I have a way with tough young ladies.
- Yeah. - There you go.
I'll make the phone call.
Well, welcome aboard.
Right.
I'm telling you, that song is a smash.
Okay, I'll see you at the studio on Tuesday.
Okay.
Mr. Ducco?
The operator has been holding an urgent call
from Bobbie Jo Bell in Hawaii.
Hey, Bobbie.
Hey, listen, honey, I have a song for you.
You're gonna love it.
- Ducco? - Who's this?
We got your recording star, Bobbie Jo, "the Southern Belle," Mr. Ducco.
Now, what you're gonna do
is bring half a million in cash to Honolulu.
That is, if you wanna see her alive again.
Sure, sure, whatever you say, but, uh...
Hey, how do I know that you're on the level?
Stanley, it's no joke.
They've got me, and they're very serious about this.
Your three minutes are up.
Please signal when you are through.
We'll contact you tomorrow at the Hawaiian Regent Hotel.
Be there with 500,000, Mr. Ducco.
Don't do anything stupid like call someone.
I guess you know the small-craft warnings are up.
Oh, hey, no problem.
This thing's got plenty of power. We'll just chop right through.
Is this your boat?
- It's a friend's. - What's his name?
Let's go, come on.
They picked up two suspects on that savings-and-loan holdup.
One has a homicide warrant in Colorado.
- Anything else from H.P. D? - The rest is pretty much routine.
- Morning, Danno. - Morning.
You got something?
Yeah, country singer named Bobbie Jo Bell
was reported missing by her manager in L.A.
She was last seen taking a cab to the airport here yesterday at 3 p.m.
She never arrived.
You mean she's never missed a plane before?
Not without calling her manager.
She's got a big recording date set up for tomorrow in L.A.
- She traveling alone? - Yeah.
Apparently she was over here writing a couple of songs for her new album.
That wasn't an Islandia cab she took, was it?
Yeah, it was.
A cab was stolen out of the Islandia company
yesterday around 2 p.m.
- Any ransom demand made? - No.
Well, if somebody did grab her,
they're not gonna use that cab for very long.
Duke, go over that list of stolen cars again.
Cars stolen, say, within the last 24 hours.
Right.
This window was broken before the cab got here.
I'd say so. There's no glass on the ground here.
It appears to have been broken from the inside.
I wouldn't count on any quick leads from fingerprints.
There will be an abundance. This cab hasn't been washed in days.
Let us have them as soon as you get them.
- It's all we have. - Was this a kidnapping?
It has all the symptoms, but no ransom note yet.
What's up?
A van was stolen from a garage not far from here.
Let's check it out.
Hey, Quince.
- Quincy, wake up. - Huh? Yeah, what?
What's happening? What?
You ought to be in the demolition derby.
- What are you talking about? - The boat.
It broke up on the rocks last night.
Now, look, don't put that on me, captain.
I set the compass right where you told me.
It's perfect. I love it. Nobody knows where we are.
Dennis, I could sure go for some bacon and eggs.
You got it.
The highway can't be too far. Come on, let's go.
- Well, where are we? - Don't worry about a thing.
We got everything under control. Just on your feet, huh?
- Come on. - Get your shoes.
Come on.
You said something about a highway, Dennis?
I think we're on private property.
What can I do for you?
Anybody asks questions, we're all friends, right?
No problem.
I wouldn't want you to miss your next birthday.
Good day.
- We're looking for the highway. - Highway?
Yeah, we lost our boat on the reef last night.
We have a cabin on the other side of the island.
Well, you're headed the wrong way.
Unless you wanna try a Native trail that goes up the face of those cliffs.
I wouldn't recommend it.
Uh, excuse me, Mr. Navigator, what is the right way?
The Na Pali trail.
Goes along the bluffs by the ocean.
You'll have to wait a day for the path to dry out from last night's storm.
It rains a lot here.
We got all kinds of wonderful choices.
Say, why do you need an alarm system up here?
- My garden. - Your garden?
Twenty-two kinds of vegetables.
If you crave cholesterol,
there's wild pigs and goats up in the mountains.
Oh, good, thanks.
There's a shack not far from here with a roof and a bed.
The owners won't be back for a few weeks.
They went out to have a baby.
Uh, do you have a radio?
Heh. No need.
That will be Room 1211, Mr. Ducco. Hope you have an enjoyable stay.
Well, thank you very much.
Please tell the switchboard that I've just checked in.
- I'm expecting a very important call. - Yes, sir.
Uh, just a minute. I'll, uh... I'll carry that.
Danno? What have we got?
This is Jack Tonoa, Steve. He's on security here.
He saw two men and a woman board a powerboat here
about 4:40 yesterday afternoon.
Well, the guy in the boat was the only one I really saw close.
The other guy, the shorter one,
must have gotten off the boat and used the phone over there.
- He used that payphone? - Well, I'm sort of guessing.
After I got knocked in the water and crawled out, it was ringing.
If you feel up to it, I'd like you to come downtown
and give a description to our police artist.
I'll try.
Let's hope they made it to wherever they were going, huh?
Dennis, this is really the pits, you know.
No, it's not bad.
Lookit here.
Yes.
The side of a hill.
Look at that view, huh? What more could you ask for?
Yeah.
- It isn't bad, isn't bad at all. - Come on, Bobbie. No.
No TV.
An icebox. A real icebox.
Lookie here, a monkey's delight.
Lookit here, Quince.
Air conditioning. Yes.
- What is that? - Ha-ha-ha.
Hey, now we are talking.
We are gonna have ourselves a feast tonight.
How about a mai tai?
If Bobbie Jo can sing and cook, we are gonna have a feast.
She's gone.
Dennis, look, wait a minute.
She's pure hassle, right? Well, let's get rid of her.
- We don't need her anymore. - Aah!
Quince, we need her.
Ducco's gonna wanna talk to her.
That's right. Without me, you'll get nothing.
You're right. You're right.
Come on.
Oh. Oh, my ankle.
I did something terrible to it.
You are pure hassle!
Come on.
We had a busy day with that storm.
Our cutter was assisting a vessel
to the east of the marina about that time.
Our crew would've noticed a boat that small heading east
and recommended they turn back.
Well, we'll assume that they headed northwest, then.
Well, from the marina here, Kauai is just over a hundred miles.
And, uh, another 20 to Niihau.
With 40-knot winds and 8-foot swells, they'd have done well to make Kauai.
Our station over there is doing a marina and harbor check.
- The boat could've gone down at sea. - Quite easily.
Course, if they made Kauai before dawn,
they'd probably abandon the boat,
which means you wouldn't find anything.
If they're up one of those high valleys,
we're gonna have a long, slow search ahead of us, Steve.
Danno, you used to surf over there, didn't you?
Yeah, great place to camp and hide. Plenty of isolation, very few roads.
And a very small police force.
It's not broken or anything.
- Oh. - Maybe a little swelling, that's all.
It hurts like hell. Here, let me try it.
Oh, no, I can't. Aah.
You see? You see, Dennis? I told you. Now, we could've done without this.
Well, you wouldn't get any money without me.
I know Stanley Ducco,
and he doesn't pay for anything unless he sees the product.
Dennis, I'm hungry. Now, what is the plan?
Because I'm not carrying her out of here.
One of us has gotta go for a boat.
The Coast Guard is gonna be watching for boats.
Then, we, uh, go at night.
Yeah, how do we get around the reef?
Huh.
What's wrong with a helicopter?
Well, what do we tell the pilot?
We tell him we went camping with a fragile little female,
and she sprained her dainty little ankle.
- That's what we tell him. - Uh-huh.
- I like it. - Yeah.
And you can call Ducco and tell him to sit tight.
Oh, I can call him?
All right, we'll flip for it.
Yeah, I think it would be a very good idea to flip for it.
All right. Call it.
Heads.
Get me some cigarettes. Low-tar filter type.
We need some shells too.
- What are you looking for? - Something to smoke.
Natural-food freaks usually have something stashed away.
- Lookit here. - A genuine ukulele. Hey, here.
Oh. Here you go.
Why don't you tune that up and maybe play yourself something?
Well, I don't know what the acoustics are like
in this recording studio of yours, but, um, I'll give it a try.
All right.
I remember Mama
Always mendin' broken clothes
John and I would play in mud That oozed between our toes
Daddy was a preacher man When preaching didn't pay
There were hungry times But he knew what to say
He'd say Keep your circle round, child
Keep your wheel a-turnin'
Keep your candle burnin' Through the darkness of the night
Don't let disappointments tie you up And put you down
Hear his sound And keep your circle round
Pretty good. Pretty good.
Did you, uh, ever think about doing a record? Huh?
How come you happened to nominate little old me for your kidnappee?
- Aw. Come on. - Wait a second.
- There you go. - Okay.
- A long and dull story. - Not to me, it isn't.
Come on, sit down.
We were in a pretty good business.
We were making eight-tracks and cassettes
off the top-ten chart in Chicago.
- Chicago? What company? - Heh. Our own.
- Oh, underground tapes, you mean. - Yeah, yeah.
We were selling them for $4 per in the gas stations and drive-ins.
Gonna make a hundred thousand dollars, split it between us.
We weren't hurting anybody.
And then your Stanley Ducco hired some investigators,
and the police zeroed in on us.
He put you in the pokey, huh?
Yeah, he put us in the pokey. Eighteen months.
Of course, Ducco, he wanted to keep us in there five years.
Well, I don't blame you for being ticked.
I'd ask for a half-million too. You've earned it.
Damn right.
He makes more than that just off of me.
You putting me on?
- No. - Oh.
Here comes the Organic Man.
You might have a taste for these by now.
- I'm ready. - Hunger never saw bad bread.
You got any pizza or lasagna or anything in that bag?
No.
But I do have something for that ankle.
I saw you limping on the trail.
One of the old regulars up here had a football knee.
This should help keep the swelling down and relieve the pain.
I'll buy that.
- My name's Josie. - Colin. Colin Lamb.
That's a nice name.
I hope he's got malpractice insurance.
Colin, anybody else live in this valley besides you?
Two others.
Bible Jim and Amanda live a couple miles higher.
He's a preacher. She plays the flute and sings a little.
- But not as nice as you. - Thank you.
Anyone else?
In the summer, we get some campers, nudies,
looking for a wilderness experience.
They stay on the beach mainly. They miss the real beauty of this place.
This is what Hawaii is supposed to be, what paradise was.
You can have it.
It's Pearl Harbor to me.
They don't even have a cigarette machine.
That's why some people like it here.
You know, Colin,
I think I just heard your early-warning system.
Yep, as a matter of fact, I did.
It's probably some urban guerrillas up here,
making a sneak attack on your radishes.
I'll have a look. Might be goat hunters.
See you later.
Yeah.
You know, if you're not careful, you're gonna get him killed.
Wreckage from that stolen boat was picked up off the coast of Niihau.
There were some pieces from a guitar.
- Off Niihau? - Southwest of Kauai.
But your original hunch may still be valid.
The flotsam was on a current
that swings down from the north coast of Kauai.
That current is very consistent at this time of year.
Hmm.
- Steve? - Yeah, Chin?
A long-distance call was made
from the marina phone booth to a Stanley Ducco,
president of Lucky Label Records in Los Angeles.
- Get Mr. Ducco on the phone for me. - I already tried.
His secretary said he was out of town, doesn't know where he is,
and has no knowledge of the call.
Okay, call her back.
See if you can get the name of his bank and his travel agent.
Now, if she refuses to cooperate, go through the airlines.
Right.
I hope this Ducco will cooperate with us.
I think he might when he finds out his top recording star
might have gone down with that boat.
The Dow Jones average has closed
four points higher today, responding to the...
- Say, how far is the nearest airport? - Lihue, 30 miles.
Oh.
Oh, aren't there some, uh, helicopters that land at hotels around here?
That is so at Princeville, three miles.
- Princeville? - Mm-hm.
Could I get some change for the phone booth?
Okay.
The low-pressure area
which brought storm conditions has moved westward,
and temperatures on the Garden Island
will range between 72 degrees during the day
and 64 at night.
Now, here's a late news bulletin on the mysterious disappearance
of recording star Bobbie Jo Bell.
The Coast Guard has found debris
from a boat that was carrying two men...
Two beers is $1. You still want change?
Oh, yeah, sorry.
Authorities fear that she, as well as her alleged abductors,
were lost at sea.
Every available military and private helicopter on Kauai
is being employed in the search.
I don't think you'll get a helicopter for a few days.
No, it sure doesn't sound like it, does it?
Eh, they're too expensive anyway.
- Hello? - Oh, Mr. Ducco?
Right.
Just wanted to let you know that your star is nice and healthy.
Oh, boy, am I glad to hear that.
Just five minutes ago, I was watching a newscast.
Uh, Mr. Ducco, the question is, do you have the money?
Yeah, yeah, I got all of it. It's right here.
Good, good. Uh... Well, this is the plan, Mr. Ducco.
We want you to come to Kauai,
check in at the Princeville Hotel under the name of Frank Carter,
and then we'll call you.
Princeville, Frank Carter, I've got it.
Look, I wanna talk to Bobbie.
Oh, you will. You will, Mr. Ducco.
So long as you don't make the mistake of bringing anybody with you.
Operator, get me Aloha Airlines.
Hello, I'd like to make a reservation.
Who is it?
McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0, state police.
State police?
- Come on in. - Thank you.
To what do I owe this visit?
Bobbie Jo Bell, Mr. Ducco.
And the half-million dollars in cash you got from the Federal Reserve.
Now, wait a minute, heh.
Bobbie is very special to me. I've known her a long time.
I discovered her.
Right now her life depends on me, not you.
- Have you been following the news? - Yes, I have.
If the Coast Guard thinks she may have drowned,
how do you know she's alive?
These kidnappers trust me, Mr. McGarrett.
- Trust you? - Please, sit down.
Playing by the kidnapper's rules guarantees a satisfied kidnapper,
not a live victim, Mr. Ducco.
Now, when did you hear from them last?
I haven't.
Except for the one call to be here.
- You're sure of that? - Of course.
Hey, you're not gonna tap my phone now, are you?
I can understand your excessive caution
if you were dealing with pros.
But these two halfwits have lost their boat,
they've almost drowned,
and now that their feeble-minded plan is falling apart,
they don't even have the sense to call it off.
They're irrational and unpredictable, the most dangerous kind of kidnapper.
I want you to know that, Mr. Ducco.
How do you know you can find her safely?
We don't.
But there's hope if you tell us what's going on.
Every move they make, every contact.
Okay.
I'll let you know when they call.
Danno.
Operator says he made one local phone call this morning
and one just now to Aloha Airlines.
Ah.
So much for Ducco's cooperation and integrity.
From what the Coast Guard says,
we can assume they're on Kauai, if they're still alive.
Well, the way Ducco talked, they are alive.
We can't send a search force over there.
The kidnappers may want us to believe they all went down with the boat.
It's got to be handled quietly.
I know that island pretty well, Steve.
I think I might know where they'd be hiding out.
You mean one of those isolated valleys?
I think so.
Okay, Danno, get your hiking gear, grab the next plane.
If you come up with anything, I'll join you.
Right.
Thirty-eight dollars for the groceries, 46 for the pack, 32 for the boots.
- That's $106. - Okay.
Oh, yeah, by the way, I need some shells
for my M-1 carbine, 30 caliber.
- Going hunting? - Yeah.
- Wild goats or pigs? - Uh, pigs.
Hey.
You had me sweating.
Oh, I shrunk 2 inches and you're sweating.
- Well, you were gone long enough. - Oh. Sorry, please forgive me.
Hey, uh, what you got in the bag there?
Food.
We're not going anywhere for a couple days.
See, the, uh...
The helicopters are looking for our bodies.
Great. You mean they found the boat?
That's right.
At least parts of it. It seems that we are lost at sea.
Well, that's great.
We don't have to worry about the cops.
Did you call Ducco?
Sure, I called Ducco.
I told him to bring the money to the Princeville Hotel
and wait for our call.
And, uh, he wants to speak to her before he pays us.
Well, it's almost like our original plan.
Get her to the phone, we'll arrange a pickup.
And then?
And then we deliver you
to the open arms of Mr. Stanley Ducco.
You make another gold record, recoup the half-million.
It's that simple.
Hey, uh, Quincy, did you get any peanut butter?
These are hard times.
Yeah, well, as long as you got the cigarettes.
Where are they?
You forgot them, you dummy.
Well, big deal.
Look, you want cigarettes, you go walk 20 miles for them.
I notice you had time to buy yourself a new pair of boots.
Another grand and glorious day
in the fine green valley of the good Lord.
We are mutually blessed, my friends. My name's Jim. We live up the way.
- Jim. And who's on flute? - This is my helpmate, Amanda.
- Hello. - Hi.
I'm Dick. That's Jane. This here's Spot.
- What's happening, Jim? - We're on our way to Hanalei.
But we'd be glad to take orders
for goods from Yang's store if you're needing anything.
Yeah, we could use some cigarettes.
I'm sorry, brother, but I'm a friend of Jesus.
And to traffic in that vile substance
is contrary to the sanctity of the human body.
Besides which, the surgeon general may just know what he's talking about.
Say, Jim, how long you lived up here?
- Five beautiful years, brother. - Do you have a radio?
I was wondering who was gonna be in the playoffs.
Radios bring news of a violent world.
If you have no further requests, we'll be on our way.
Peace and love. Amanda.
They didn't even notice Bobbie.
Those nature freaks have been up here so long,
they wouldn't even notice the president.
- McGarrett. - Steve?
- Yeah, Danno. - I got a possible make on the sketch.
Store owner in Hanalei said
he hiked up one of the valleys up the Na Pali trail.
- You need any help? - Not yet.
I have to figure out which valley, make sure it's our guy.
- Do you have a radio, Danno? - Yeah.
I'll call in on the local police channel and have them pass the word.
Good, good, and we'll advise police headquarters in Lihue.
We'll be standing by.
- Well, afternoon, brother. - Hi.
How's the trail down at your end? Any rain down there?
No, it's high and dry.
You've got good trucking all the way to Kalalau
if you're going that far.
Yeah, I might.
Got some friends up one of these valleys.
Two guys and a gal. You might have seen them.
Maybe so, in Kalalau. Sounds like our strangers.
One of them's Spot.
Yeah, they're in the big shack by the macadamia-nut grove.
- Thanks. Save me some walking. - Afternoon, brother.
I'm in 1211, Stanley Ducco.
If anyone calls, I'll be at the Kahuna Recording Studios.
I'll be there all afternoon cutting a record.
Oh, very well, Mr. Ducco.
Airport, please.
Central?
Officer Kelly. Patch me through to McGarrett.
Go ahead, Chin.
Yeah, Chin.
Yeah, I got it.
Okay, I'll take it from here. Thank you.
If someone will get water, I'll start dinner.
I'm for that.
Hi, Colin.
This might help you get around a little better.
Oh, thanks. You're just the man I wanted to see.
Hey, Colin.
This bandage is loose, and I can't get it tight enough.
- You have to start it at the bottom. - Oh.
Well, that's much better, doctor.
Colin, how would you like to hustle into town
and buy me some cigarettes for 20 bucks?
Uh, I'll be going in a few days. I'll pick some up for you.
No charge.
Tell you what. I'll make it 30 if you go right now.
- That'll buy a lot of garden seed. - It sure would.
I'll think about it.
Bye.
You sure we want him to go to town?
What? I wanna get rid of him, that's all.
Ninety-three, what's your location?
Ninety-three. On Makiki, heading for the airport.
You have a 10-16 priority at the Dolphin Motel.
- Why are we stopping here, driver? - Another guy is hot to make a plane.
But I'm paying for this cab.
Don't worry, Mr. Ducco.
We'll split the fare.
Hi, Colin.
I see you decided to go into town after all.
For 30 bucks, I'd swim to town.
Well, you sure you have enough money for the cigarettes?
Yeah.
Well, you know, that is quite a long way to go.
Maybe we'd better make sure.
Now, I want you to empty your pockets inside out.
Now.
Hello.
Howdy.
- Wow. Great place you got here. - Thank you.
It used to be a lot nicer before it turned into a bus stop.
We came up here to meditate, you understand.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
There's some nice campsites up the valley there.
Guess I'll wander on up.
You do a lot of hunting up here?
Oh, we've seen some wild goats and pigs.
Guess my partner just got us some fresh meat.
Yeah.
- So long. - Bye.
This is Dan Williams, Five-0, calling Lihue Dispatch.
This is Williams, Five-0, calling Lihue Dispatch.
Can you read me?
- Hey, Quince. - Yeah?
I found a map of Nature Boy's.
- You're kidding. - No.
Lookit here, there's some caves.
You go on a trail all along the way to a scenic turnout point for tourists.
Well, that's, uh... That's up there.
That means there must be a highway on top.
Yeah, Highway 53. It goes down the other side of the mountain.
- That's about a mile or two away. - Yeah.
Why don't we just walk up and have a look?
According to the map, there's a mule trail there.
- That can't be too hard to follow. - Beautiful.
You guys really think you're smart enough
to follow a mule trail?
- We don't have to be nice to you. - Unh.
Well, come to think of it, I think it's high time
she did something nice for us.
- You bet. - Freeze.
I'm a police officer. You're under arrest.
Lie face down. Both of you.
Don't move.
This is the Lord's valley!
Guns are an abomination in the eyes of God!
Dennis, I'm hit, I'm hit.
Hey, cop.
One more shot from you, I'm gonna blow her away.
You hear me?
Come on, Quincy. Get the rifle, get up.
- Can you make it? - Yeah.
All right, cover us. Come on.
I'll get you.
My name's Williams, Five-0.
Those two men kidnapped that woman in Honolulu three days ago.
My deepest apologies, brother. I had no idea you were...
I know.
You wanna help now, brother?
They're headed for these caves above the falls.
Is there any place to land a helicopter in this area?
Uh-uh. Too steep and too many trees. You have to land on the beach.
They'd have a clear view of your arrival for an hour
before you reached the caves.
The trail goes on up past the falls.
Now, could they get out of the valley that way?
Maybe.
That's an old pack trail, but rock slides have cut it.
Oh, they might try. They're hungry for that half-million.
You could land on the other side of the top,
but you wouldn't get down that trail without being seen.
And I wouldn't try it. That's a 4,000-foot drop.
Captain, I'll need a chopper, unmarked and fast.
Right, let's go.
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
How many more caves? We've already passed two.
It's not important. We're going all the way to the top.
We got an appointment with Mr. Ducco.
That cop, he probably went back to get help.
How do we know that he hasn't followed us?
I've been watching.
Dennis...
You go on ahead. I'm gonna catch up.
I wanna make sure that he hasn't.
Go on. I owe him one anyway.
Come on.
It's been a long time since any mules have been up this trail.
Maybe there's a reason. Look, I'm tired and my foot hurts.
Shut up. Come on.
Come on.
We made it.
We made it! The road's right here!
- All right! All...! - Hold it right there.
Don't move. Don't say a word.
