Hawaii Five-0 · Season 1
[Danny is questioning a suspect]
We came over here for a boys' weekend, all right? You got to believe me, man, we're good guys.
[laughs] "Good guys"? Good guys? You're a bunch of married, 40-year-old guys come all the way to Hawaii for spring break to hit on college girls. I mean, you must have very understanding wives.
[Chin and Jerry are watching a FBI television broadcast about their suspect, a fugitive wanted for trafficking]
I always thought these shows were scripted propaganda created by huge media conglomerates to brainwash the L.I.V.'s. [Chin looks at him blankly] Low-information viewers. They scare the unwitting public into demanding more police on the street and then use it as an excuse to raise taxes to feed the beast that is Uncle Sam.
[the gang sees off Kono on her solo wa'kaulua voyage, but her parents make it in time]
Dad? [runs up to them] I didn't think you were coming.
You know she wouldn't have missed this for the world.
[to Dr. Shaw] Her mother had an aneurysm a few years back.
She's beautiful, isn't she?
[kneels and faces her mother Nani] I'm doing it, Mom.
She's very proud of you.
Malama pono.
Aloha Au Ia 'oe.
[to Nani] Malama pono.
[Kawika blows his conch shell to signal her launch]
[former meth cook Maka'i Akana is stunned that his recently-arrested son plotted to kidnap him and force him to work again]
My son made up this threat to force me to cook again?
He called it his inheritance. That, as far as he was concerned, you were dead to him.
So, what happens now?
Your son's gonna go to prison. You're gonna walk away from this with your parole intact, no more prison time.
Doesn't really matter. [sighs] When I was in Halawa, there was only one reason to get out. Carter. That second chance kept me going. And now I've got nothing.
Maka'i, I know what it's like to have your family turn their back on you. Let me give you a little bit of advice. Keep moving forward, because you still have a shot at redemption. If not for your son, then for yourself. I'll get you out of here.
[flashback of young Kono practicing her surfing]
You did good, ku'uipo.
I fell.
You're going to get knocked off your board many times, Kono. The only thing that matters is that you get back up.
[glances at a glum-looking Danny] You do something wrong? What'd you do wrong?
I don't know. I've been thinking about it. I'm wracking my brain. I can't figure it out. But Rachel's definitely upset about something.
You think it's Amber-related?
Melissa.
Oh, that's official now?
Well, yes, it is her name, so I think it's official.
[Danny's ex-wife Rachel tries to tell him that her son, Charlie, is suffering from HLH and needs one of his parents as a bone marrow transplant donor]
Why are you telling me this? [catches on and looks at Charlie] That's my kid? [sees Grace staring at him] How long have you known this, Rachel? You've always known.
Danny, I...
Why would keep something like this from me?
Because your life, from the chances that you take.
The chances I take?
See, if anything ever happened to you, I didn't want two kids growing up without a father.
You had no right to do that. You understand that? You had no right to keep that from me, that I got a son. [looks away despondently]
I know that you hate me right now, and I don't blame you for hating me, but I am telling you now. We have a son, and there is something wrong with him, something that could kill him. He needs our help.
Okay. Okay, so what? So, what happens now?
You need to take a blood test. It won't take long, only a few minutes... 24 hours to get the results, and then the doctors can decide how to proceed from there.
And then, they set everything up then?
Yes.
What about Stan? What does he know?
He knows now.
[Danny and Steve discuss the situation with Rachel and Charlie]
Do you know how many times that I've dropped Grace off? You know how many times I've picked her up, and that kid's been sitting in the room? Rachel, too, sitting there?
Danny, no matter how misguided this was..
(angry) Please, don't. Do not say anything that sticks up for this woman, okay? What she did is unforgivable, and that is the bottom line. And because of what she did, I missed out three years of this kid's life. Huh? What about that?
(bringing Danny back from his anger) So what happens now?
Now. Now, I.. I take care of the kid. (frustrated) But Rachel - I don't know what I'm gonna do. No way I get past this.
You're right, man.
I know I'm right. Thank you.
Do me a favor, listen to me for a second, all right? These feelings that you're having, this anger.. you got to put it aside, that's all I'm saying. (Danny turns his head to listen) How many decisions are you guys gonna have to make, from here on in? And you and Rachel, you got to make the decisions together. Danny, it's not gonna do Charlie any good having his parents fighting. That's all I'm trying to say.
I know that. You're right.
All right?
Sir, please. I understand wanting vengeance. I swear to you, I do- but killing Pelham, it'll feel good for a moment, but that's it. Now, we got enough evidence to put this bastard away. I want him in a prison cell, sir, not you.
What makes you think I'm going to prison? When you get here, you're gonna find two bodies.
Think about Jenny. Would she really want this? You're not a killer.
[Chin confronts Adam Noshimuri over meeting Yakuza oyabun Goro Shioma]
It's a one-way plane ticket to Tokyo. Leaves tonight. If your relationship with Shioma is so complicated that you can't explain it, I can't let you marry my cousin tomorrow.
[sets aside ticket] I'm not going anywhere, Chin.
Then you better convince me why I should let you stay.
[sighs] Okay. Goro Shioma was my father's mentor. They were as close as brothers. When my father started his business, Goro was the one who staked him the money to get it off the ground. He's made millions off that initial investment and continues to. Look, you don't just walk away from someone like Goro. It had to be done the right way - face to face.
So what happened?
I offered to buy him out, but he wouldn't accept. Said the only way out was to leave the same way my father came into the business. With nothing.
Adam, are you really willing to give up all of this for Kono?
[chuckles] Yeah, Chin. You know your cousin. She was never one for material things anyway.
Good morning. I have a tuxedo fitting, so I'll be making this quick.
Oh, what are you doing? You doing powder blue, or, uh, crushed velvet?
While both are valid choices, I will be attending Kono's wedding in a more traditional palette.
Pea soup green?
Unlike you, Detective Williams, I have no insecurities when it comes to bold colors.
Insecurities?
He's right-- you hate color.
I hate color? I don't hate color. I like color very much.
[Steve and Danny are discussing the case when Catherine walks in wearing her dress]
Hey.
[looks Catherine up and down] Wow.
So, you approve?
Yeah, no, I think, I think what, uh, my ape-like friend meant to say is that you look, uh, fantastic, right?
[grins] Wow.
He said it again. All right. Well, I'm gonna let you two talk. And maybe he'll come up with more than one syllable.
[Steve and Danny are interrogating Josh Bennett to find out where the warhead is]
You remember where you were when 9/11 happened? Remember what followed? Cause and effect, Commander. We had a chance to neutralize the threat, but we took our boot from off of their throats and now we don't feel safe anywhere. Airplanes, movie theaters, shopping malls... How are we supposed to raise our children in a country when they're constantly looking over their shoulder?
So what are you gonna do? Kill thousands of innocent people to make that point?
It's a small price to pay to ensure the future of this country. Think of all the lives that were lost before Roosevelt finally got us into World War II. And that all started right here, on this island, at Pearl Harbor. What's done is done. By this time tomorrow, we'll be dropping bombs all over the Middle East. Only this time, we're not gonna stop until we turn that place into a parking lot. [Steve is speechless and walks away in anger]
You know what? The military was right. You are insane. Okay? You're insane.
That's been said about a lot of great patriots who had the courage to stand up for what they believe in.
[Steve and Danny are flying out to release a W80 warhead underwater]
Fantastic. Well, I guess the good news is that dying would be better than looking at your bald head for the rest of my life.
What are you rambling about?
I got a nuke at my foot, okay? What am I rambling about? If we don't die, which is a gigantic if, I'm gonna be microwaving eggs with my finger, okay?
Nobody's gonna die, Danny.
Oh, really? Look, it's, uh, it's Dr. Strangelove-- he's back. Aren't you the one who said that residual radiation is-is not so bad, but it's the direct contact that is?
No, I didn't say that exactly.
Oh, well, you implied it. You basically said ...
Listen to me, just listen to me.
that I'm standing on the thing.
Listen to me, all right? One kid is one thing, Danny, but two kids is something else, all right? And g-guess what, you got two kids now. You got two kids now, and one of them needs you to go home and do something really important for him, all right? So you don't get to die today, even though it would make my life a lot quieter.
You just bailed on the proposal?
No, I didn't bail. I've been planning the op.
The op???
Yeah. I secured a ring. I reconned a location. Now I just got to execute.
[sarcastic] Wow. [deadpan] I mean, it just, it sounds so romantic the way you say it, you know? I mean, I could see it now...you and Catherine in matching camouflage cargo pants on some very exotic shooting range, and you get down on one knee, and you say, "Babe, I want you to join my unit for a lifelong mission." I mean, it's every girl's fairy tale.
