Previously on "Magnum PI"...
Magnum: There's really no man that had more of an impact
on my life than Greene.
He put the team together.
You're gonna give me their names
so we can hunt them down and kill them.
Seven years ago, Greene sent us into a terrorist stronghold
to take out a high-value target named Ahmad Hadid.
It appears whoever killed Greene wants revenge for that raid,
and he's willing to go to great lengths to get it.
Cane: Guy calling the shots' name is Swayzak.
He was hired to put together the team.
These guys are ex-military, all right?
Highly trained and extremely dangerous.
All right? It'd be better for everybody
if you just stepped away from this one.
Magnum, they know. The mercs ID'd you.
TC: Island Hoppers.
**
Oh!
TC.
[ Light buzzing ]
[ Gasping softly ]
[ Footsteps approaching ]
**
[ Gunshot ]

Shammy: Hold on. Hold on.
TC. TC, come on.
TC, stay with me, buddy.
Come on, look here. Look at me, TC!
Stay with me.
TC!
[ Kettle whistling ]
So, I just add the water, right?
Uh, yeah, with a splash of cream and a teaspoon of sugar.
That's how my mum made it.
Stephanie Lum: Have now declared the death a homicide.
Little bit of sugar.
A spokesman for the Honolulu Police Department
has confirmed that nurse Lily Tanaka
has been arrested and charged with...
I still don't understand why you don't drink tea
like every other Brit.
...worked together.
Hey, I'm watching that.
Well, after everything you've been through,
I just think you could use a little break.
Right, fair enough.
You know, um, I was thinking maybe we could stay in
and watch a movie,
perhaps an old classic or something.
Now you're talking. So what are you thinking?
Uh, "Die Hard," "The Rock," "Pulp Fiction"?
Maybe something a little bit more romantic?
Oh, "Rocky."
[ Both laugh ]
Okay, when I was little, whenever I was ill,
my mum would make me malted milk,
and we would watch "Arthur."
Dudley Moore made quite an impression on me.
Dudley Moore, huh? Mm-hmm.
That is a guy that I have
absolutely nothing in common with.
Oh, no, I'm -- I'm aware.
He was very quick-witted, effortlessly charming.
Hmm.
You at least have your, uh, good looks.
[ Chuckles ] Okay.
[ Chuckles ]
It's not as good as I remember it.
On second thought, you know what would be great?
Is a nice, mature Bordeaux.
Okay. All right.
I will head down to the wine cellar.
You queue up "Arthur." All right.
I'm really curious to know what this --
this guy, old Dudley Moore, has that I don't.
Well, get a pen and paper so you can take notes.
You know what? I'm gonna let that one slide,
but only because you're recovering.
Be right back.
Tanaka will be arraigned tomorrow morning.
A source inside the prosecuting attorney's office
tells us that Tanaka had been overmedicating a patient
in order to keep them under her care...
[ Cellphone buzzing ] ...and that she killed Kahele
to prevent him from exposing that.
A thorough investigation into the hospital
is now expected. [ Telephone ringing ]
**
Rick, hi. Sorry, um, Magnum isn't here.
Higgins, TC's been shot. They've taken him to Kings.
I'm on my way there now.
Oh, my God. Uh, um, how bad is it?
I'm not sure. Shammy was with him.
From what he described,
shooter sounded like a hired gun.
Well, these are probably the same guys who killed Greene.
They must've ID'd you three.
Exactly, which is why you need to tell Thomas right away.
Yeah. These guys are smart.
They're not --
**
Great. No power.
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
Here we are. That's the one.
**
[ Both grunting ]
**
Aah!
**
[ Grunting ]
**
Aah!
**
[ Higgins gasps ]
**
[ Glass shatters ]
**
That's Paul Swayzak.
We ID'd him a while ago.
Apparently he put together the team that --
that killed Greene and came after us.
Well, actually, Rick called
to say that we might be in danger.
Thomas, there's something you have to know.
[ Woman speaks indistinctly over PA ]
[ Cellphone rings ]
Hey, they just, uh, rushed him into surgery.
Yeah, well, what's his condition?
Did they tell you anything?
No, but based on the blood loss, it looked bad.
Magnum, I'm sorry. I --
I saw the alert when the cameras picked up the shooter.
I tried to get to TC as fast as I could, but --
No, no, Shammy, stop. It's not your fault.
The hitter who shot TC wasn't working alone.
Listen, Higgins and I are gonna meet you at the hospital,
but make sure Rick stays put until we get there.
Wait, what are you talking about?
Rick isn't here.
But that doesn't make sense. W-When he called me,
he said that he was heading straight there.
It can't have taken him this long.
I tried calling him a few times.
It went straight to voicemail.
**
[ Engine revs ]
[ Tires screech ]
**
How is it he never even made it to his car?
**
It's Rick's keys.
We're too late.
**
[ Groans softly ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
**
Higgins: Here we go.
Okay, so Rick called you at exactly 9:17 p.m.,
so if I queue up the security video to that time...
Magnum: Right there. [ Computer beeps ]
**
They got him. I-I don't understand.
I mean, the men who came after you and TC
were clearly shooting to kill.
Why did they take Rick alive?
The only thing I can think of
is when we raided Hadid's compound,
Rick was the one who took the kill shot.
So if this is about avenging Hadid's murder,
then maybe they want to take their time
with whoever pulled the trigger.
[ Car door slams ]
**
[ Bell jingles ]
**
Seriously? I almost just shot you.
Gordon, what are you doing here?
Well, I heard about what happened to you guys and TC.
Just wanted to make sure you were safe.
And when I couldn't get in touch, I started looking around.
Yeah, we had to dump our phones in case we're being tracked.
Wait, so you haven't heard about Detective Childs?
What about Childs?
He was looking into the guys who came after you.
Tracked down a safe house they'd been using.
It was rigged with a trip wire.
Went up with Childs inside.
I told him to stay out of it.
But he insisted.
Ah, I should've pushed back more.
It's not your fault, Thomas.
I'm the one who gave him that lead.
Well, now you can be the one who helps us track down his killer.
All right? Now I need to know everything you know.
But we're in the dark about who's behind this.
I mean, whoever they are,
they're racking up quite the body count.
So far they've taken out Nadine Amherst,
her boss at the CIA, Captain Greene,
and now Detective Childs.
Sorry, Nadine who? Nadine Amherst.
She's the CIA expert on Ahmad Hadid.
Couple of months ago, she died in a plane crash,
but now it looks like that was cover for a hit.
Well, if these people can stage a plane crash,
I guess it was just a matter of time
before they uncovered your identities.
Yeah, but we're still unclear as to how they actually did that.
It doesn't really matter unless it helps us find Rick.
Right. Wait, hold on.
I just saw Rick's car outside.
I assumed he was here with you.
Afraid not.
He was on his way to the hospital.
They grabbed him in the parking lot
before he could get to his car.
The car that he was loaded into didn't have plates.
It's a black Chevy Impala.
We'll get a BOLO out. Okay.
In the meantime, Swayzak's probably been processed by now,
and at the moment, he's probably our best chance
at finding out who has Rick. Yeah.
Shammy: Okay.
Okay, look, as soon as you have an update,
you let me know, okay?
All right.
Okay, Magnum says HPD is on it.
They're doing everything they can to find him.
He was just over this morning, dropping off Joy.
Everything was fine, and now he's missing
and TC's been shot?
If there's one thing I know about Rick, he's a survivor.
If anyone can pull through something like this, it's him.
Okay? Okay.

[ Grunts ]

[ Gunshots, glass shattering ]
**
Higgins: All right, I unlocked his phone,
and it looks like Swayzak was in regular contact with someone,
but the number appears to run on a voice-over IP service.
Wait, so it can't be traced? Not easily.
If we can keep the caller on the line long enough,
I can backtrace the signal through the anonymizing service
to get the owner's IP address and location.
Care to do the honors?
[ Sighs ] Yeah.
**
Woman: Where are you?
Is it done?
[ Computer beeping ]
She's gonna hang up.
I've already traced the call through five anonymous servers.
Swayzak, are you there?
How many more are there?
I don't know. I just need more time.
Swayzak?
She's not gonna be on much longer.
Swayzak.
[ Cellphone beeps off ]
Well, whoever we just spoke to, that should put her on notice.
I have an idea.
We can run voice-print analysis on the recording.
If there are any voice samples in any of the databases,
we should get a hit.
[ Distorted voice ] Where are you? Swayzak?
Where are you? Where are you?
You gotta be kidding me.
Well, either we were just talking to a ghost,
or Nadine Amherst is still very much alive.
So she faked her own death. Why would she do that?
Because she wanted us to think that she was the victim
when, actually, all along, she was behind this whole thing.
Exactly. The only question now is, why?
HPD air support, this is Mike Five Five Six Mike Hotel
providing search assistance.
I just finished a flyover of H-2.
No sighting of our suspect vehicle.
Moving on to Pupukea now. Over.
All right, thanks.
Yeah, still no sign of the car.
Well, the department put all available
resources on the search.
We also sent units over to the registered owner
of that make and model.
In the meantime, your CIA contact
just e-mailed over those files.
What'd you learn? Well, for starters,
a CIA black site in Munich was breached three days ago.
Two agents were killed in the process,
but it looks like that's how they finally
uncovered your identities.
They also sent over everything that their agency had
on Nadine Amherst,
including a list of every asset she cultivated,
and guess whose name is on that list.
Ahmad Hadid. Exactly.
So she wasn't just a specialist on Hadid.
She was also his handler.
Yeah, correct.
It seems that back in the day, the CIA wanted to try
to develop a relationship with Hadid.
Look. Here's an interview that she conducted
with Hadid early on in his recruitment.
Let's go back to 2001.
You said that after the invasion,
there was a deep rift within the organization.
How did you consolidate power?
Hadid: By understanding the people,
what they'll fight for, lay their lives down for.
My opponents spoke from here.
I spoke from here.
So you're good at manipulating your followers.
Getting them to do what you want.
No.
They already have these passions inside them.
I just know how to bring it to the surface.
Hang on.
Is it just me, or are you guys
detecting a vibe between these two?
It's not just you. I've seen perps
try to charm their interviewers like that before.
Yeah, and going off her body language,
it looks like it was working.
I mean, you don't think --
Yeah, it would hardly be the first romance
between a handler and an asset.
It would explain why Nadine wants to avenge Hadid's death.
Indeed. I mean, first they have her cultivate
Hadid as an asset, then the political winds change,
and they order him killed.
I mean, if she had fallen for him,
that would definitely send her off the deep end.
Yeah, but we took out Hadid over seven years ago.
Why wait until now to do something about it?
**
[ Birds cawing, wings flapping ]
[ Groans ]

[ Cellphone beeps ]

Come on, come on, come on.
[ Cellphone beeps ]

Suzy, Joy...
Um, it looks like
I've gotten myself into a bit of a situation here.
And, well, if you're seeing this,
I guess it means things didn't really go my way.
**
I've got trail mix, a granola bar,
and an orange soda.
Thanks, but I'm not really hungry.
**
You wanna talk about it?
Talk about what?
It's been over nine hours since he went into surgery,
and they still haven't said anything.
I'm not talking about TC. I'm talking about you.
How are youdoing?
I-I just...
No one else has been there for me the way he has,
and now...
I know. Sweetie, I know.
**
[ Exciting music plays ]
**
[ Gauge beeping ]
Air support, this is Mike Five Five Six Mike Hotel.
I'm heading back to refuel. Over.
HPD Air Support: Copy that.
Air support, Mike Five Five Six Mike Hotel again.
I-I've just spotted our suspect vehicle.
Repeat -- I've got eyes on our suspect vehicle!
**
[ Dogs barking in distance ]
**
Over here.
[ Barking continues ]
They got a scent!
**
[ Exciting music plays ]
**
[ Dogs barking ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] Well, that's interesting.
What is it? Nadine Amherst has a child,
a son born in 2015.
That's, what, a year after she started cultivating Hadid?
Well, based on the timeline, that couldbe Hadid's son.
Yeah, if we're right about them mingling romantically,
that seems so.
I'm gonna see if I can find any photos of the child online
that might confirm our hunch.
[ Cellphone beeps ]
What do you got?
It's an obituary.
Look -- Michael Amherst.
He died last April of MERS.
That is a respiratory illness
that's common in Middle Eastern men.
Well, he looks a hell of a lot like Hadid.
I mean, that's gotta be his son.
Right. I mean, that would explain
why Nadine didn't seek revenge immediately.
She had a son to care for.
Right, and when the kid died,
it must've pushed her over the edge.
Suddenly she didn't have much to live for.
And nothing to lose.
[ Cellphone beeps ]
Yeah, we're coming up on the pin that Shammy sent us.
It's straight ahead.
[ Engine revs ]
[ Police radio chatter ]
**
Hope you know we're joining the search.
Wouldn't expect any less.
Good to see you, sir.
[ Siren wails in distance ]
All right, listen up.
Our subject's name is Orville Wright, goes by Rick.
He's on foot, possibly injured.
Now, taking into account
the approximate time of the car wreck,
we're looking at a search radius of roughly 10 to 20 miles.
It's also likely that we are not the only ones looking for him,
so stay sharp and stay safe.
And remember,
these are the same people that killed Detective Childs.
They are armed and dangerous.
So if you see them, shoot to kill.
Let's go find him.
[ Sirens wailing ]
He's out of surgery and stable.
Oh, thank God.
So he's gonna be okay?
We've managed to extract all of the bullet fragments.
But Mr. Calvin has a lacerated spleen,
fractured ribs, and extensive tissue damage.
The road to recovery will be long and challenging.
That said, he's made it through the worst of it,
so there is reason for cautious optimism.
That's good news, okay?
Can we see him?
We still have a bunch of tests to run,
but as soon as he can take visitors,
we'll let you know, okay?
Thank you, Doctor.
[ Sighs ]
[ Down-tempo music plays ]
[ Monitor beeping ]
**
Hey, how you feeling, Mr. Calvin?
[ Scoffs ] Like I've been shot.
I suppose that's to be expected.
My friends, Thomas Magnum and Orville Wright --
they could've been targeted, too.
I need to find out if they're okay.
I'll try to find someone who can get you that information.
Right now, I need to examine you, okay?
All right.
Lift your arms for me.
Push against my hand.
[ Grunts ]
Good. All right.
Now, take my hand, try to squeeze.
**
Can you feel that?
No. I can't feel anything.
My legs.
I can't move them.
Try not to panic.
Now, there's likely swelling around the spinal cord.
But with the right treatment and physical therapy,
there's a good chance you'll regain mobility.
Good chance?
Are you saying I might not ever walk again?
I realize this is a lot to take in,
but let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay?
**
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
**
Hey, what are you thinking?
That he would've sought the densest cover
to avoid being seen, so we should keep this heading.
No. I mean...
you're clearly agonizing over something.
You should just tell me.
Ah.
You were right.
I should've taken the threat more serious.
I should've done more to protect Rick and TC.
Thomas, they're grown adults.
They can look after themselves.
And -- And in fact, they did.
TC upped his security. Even Rick took precautions.
Yeah, well, the irony's not lost on me.
What irony?
I did next to nothing to protect myself,
and I might be the only one that makes it through this okay.
But, Thomas, it's not your fault.
It's not about that. It's not about blame.
So what is it about?
Back in Afghanistan, after we were captured,
there was no good reason to think
we'd make it out of there alive.
The only thing we had going for us was each other.
If somebody got low, the rest of us would pick him up, right?
Because individually,
there's no way any of us would've survived that,
but as a group, it felt like there was no way we wouldn't.
Now, you form a bond when you go through something like that,
a bond you assume can never be broken.
That bond survived Nuzo dying.
But if Rick or TC don't make it through this,
I-I just...
I don't know what's left of it.
Well, when you put it like that,
yeah, I-I understand completely.
You have to have faith.
Thomas?
You hear that?
[ Water trickling ]
If he heard this stream, he would've come this way
and then walked through the water
to avoid leaving footprints.
Agreed. Upstream or downstream?
I mean, it's gotta be upstream.
Right? He was a Marine Scout Sniper.
Finding the high ground comes as second nature.
[ Knock on door ]
Hey, you up for some visitors?
Of course.
Oh!
Oh, thank God you're okay.
I don't think I've ever been more worried in my life.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
Really, dude?
Kumu just tried to get to second base with me.
The least you could do is dap me up.
Sorry.
It's just a lot to take in, you know?
I do.
I still got a lot of recovering to do.
It's gonna take all I got.
I need you to be strong for me, too.
Think you can do that?
Yeah. Of course.
Do you really have to ask?
Good.
Now, there's something I gotta tell you guys.
**
Footprints.
It's up this way.
**
Looks like the trail ends here.
Somebody dropped a phone.
**
It's -- It's Rick's.
There's two sets of ATV tracks.
**
Look at here.
That's blood.
Rick tried to fend them off, but they grabbed him.
[ Grunting ]
I'm gonna try and radio Gordie, tell them to look out for ATVs.
**
Suzy, Joy...
Um, it looks like
I got myself into a bit of a situation here.
And if you're seeing this,
well, it means things...
well, they didn't go my way.
But whatever happens,
I just need you both to know how important you are to me.
Um, Joy, uh,
I've only been your daddy now for a couple months,
and, um...
you are the greatest accomplishment of my life.
Though I suppose your mom is part of the reason
you turned out as awesome as you did.
And, Suzy...
I love you.
I-I'm in love with you, and --
and I-I'm pretty sure I've been in love with you
since the moment I met you.
My only regret is that
I didn't get a chance to tell you in person.
[ Cellphone beeps off ]
[ Footsteps approaching ]
Thomas?
Yeah, yeah. What did Gordie say?
He said that no one's seen any ATVs as of yet.
But we can't lose hope.
We still have Swayzak in custody,
and he's our best bet at getting to Nadine.
**
[ Tires screech ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]

U.S. Marshall: Come on, let's go.
Nadine sent me.
There's a white SUV parked 100 yards back.
Keys are under the visor.
Take it and go.
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
[ Metal door slams ]
**
You know who I am?
Nadine Amherst.
I gotta say, you're a lot less dead than I expected.
[ Chuckles ]
And you're even more resilient than I expected.
So you fake your own death
and you start going after the people
that are responsible for killing Hadid?
What was he to you?
So many things,
including the father of my son, Michael.
That boy was always so curious about his father.
Wanted to know everything about the man.
But there was one question I could never answer for him.
I read the action report.
I know you're the one that pulled the trigger.
But we both know that those reports are, uh,
light on the details.
You want to know how he died.
That's why I'm still alive.
Who better to answer that than the man that took his life?
So, how'd it happen?
Well, I can't say he didn't suffer.
But he did go out fighting.
Is that so?
That's what you want to hear, right?
He died a hero?
What I want to hear is the truth.
Okay, then.
Magnum: This is team leader.
We just breached the main gate, heading to primary set point.
T.S.: Heads up. Uknowns gathering.

I don't know what you've told yourself to justify
getting into bed with a terrorist.
Maybe you thought he was doing it for his people.
But what kind of a man uses an innocent woman
as a human shield?
You're lying.
If you say so.
I mean, you spent your entire career interrogating people.
If anybody can sniff out a lie, it should be you.
I guess there's only one way to find out.
**
Where to begin?
[ Tires screech in distance ]
What's going on?
A vehicle just pulled up. We may need to move.
Swayzak? Thanks for springing me.
What the hell are you doing here?
They let you escape so they could follow you here.
We need to get out of here!

Thank you.
**
So, you're probably pretty tired of hearing this question,
but, um, how are you doing?
**
Okay, I guess. Kumu's been awesome.
She even offered to let me stay with her until TC can come home.
Well, that's great.
Staying with Kumu will be really fun.
If you can keep up with her, that is.
[ Chuckles ]

Everything is gonna be okay, you know?

People have been telling me that my whole life.
But in my experience, that's not always true.
Sometimes people leave and they never come back.
Sometimes they get hurt and they never get better.
Sometimes things don'tturn out okay,
no matter how much you hope and you pray that they might.
I can't blame you for feeling like that.
But in this case, you're wrong.
Everything is going to be okay.
How can you be so sure?
Because I know these people.
And you yourself know how resilient TC is.
