1
00:00:07,578 --> 00:00:09,671
...stumble on these thieves,
you could get hurt.
2
00:00:09,747 --> 00:00:12,807
This Torah,
this piece of parchment,
3
00:00:12,883 --> 00:00:15,044
is something that I would
risk anything for.
4
00:00:16,287 --> 00:00:19,518
I don't wanna hear anymore
about stolen Torahs.
5
00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:22,252
Do you have a plan?
Of course,
we have a plan.
6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,496
It appears that things
are starting to go our way.
7
00:03:11,995 --> 00:03:14,259
T. C: Maybe a little
more hot sauce.
8
00:03:14,331 --> 00:03:15,355
More hot sauce.
9
00:03:15,432 --> 00:03:16,421
Mmm-hmm.
10
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:18,866
Don't you think you
ought to taste it first?
Mmm-mmm.
11
00:03:18,936 --> 00:03:23,430
A truly great chef
can identify the missing
ingredients merely by smell.
12
00:03:25,976 --> 00:03:27,273
Can I?
13
00:03:42,426 --> 00:03:43,654
Magnum,
14
00:03:44,261 --> 00:03:48,630
I need you to drive
to the airport and meet
Flight 42 from Taipei.
15
00:03:48,699 --> 00:03:52,362
It arrives at 2:05, and
if you leave immediately,
you'll be on time.
16
00:03:52,536 --> 00:03:55,130
A very dear friend of mine,
Asher Solomon, is arriving.
17
00:03:55,205 --> 00:03:57,435
Naturally, I had planned
to pick him up myself.
18
00:03:57,508 --> 00:04:01,410
But unfortunately, I received
an urgent telephone call from
Mr. Masters regarding some
19
00:04:01,478 --> 00:04:03,946
business I need to take care
of for him on the North Shore.
20
00:04:04,014 --> 00:04:06,107
I don't have time
to go over the details.
Suffice it to say
21
00:04:06,183 --> 00:04:09,050
that I wouldn't ask this
of you unless it were
absolutely necessary.
22
00:04:09,119 --> 00:04:10,484
Maybe a dash more hot sauce.
23
00:04:10,554 --> 00:04:13,148
I hope I can
count on you to help me out
in this emergency.
24
00:04:13,223 --> 00:04:14,554
No!
25
00:04:15,025 --> 00:04:18,256
Magnum, I have no time
for your childish obstinance.
26
00:04:20,230 --> 00:04:21,891
My God, what is that odor?
27
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,401
Higgie baby,
you are talking about my
Uncle Roland's original
28
00:04:26,470 --> 00:04:29,064
Creole Flaming
Bayou Blaster chili.
29
00:04:30,207 --> 00:04:31,606
Wanna try a little taste?
30
00:04:31,875 --> 00:04:34,207
Not without a paramedic
in attendance.
31
00:04:34,445 --> 00:04:36,379
Well, you don't know
what you're missing.
32
00:04:36,713 --> 00:04:39,045
Oh, hey, I gotta go.
33
00:04:39,550 --> 00:04:40,915
Thomas.
34
00:04:42,186 --> 00:04:44,450
Look, I'll be back
after my charter.
35
00:04:44,688 --> 00:04:47,987
You've got to stir that chili
constantly for two hours.
36
00:04:48,058 --> 00:04:49,787
Two hours?
Yes.
37
00:04:49,993 --> 00:04:53,292
And then prepare yourself
for a culinary event.
38
00:04:55,032 --> 00:04:56,192
Oh.
39
00:04:56,767 --> 00:04:58,758
Whatever you do,
don't quit stirring,
40
00:04:58,836 --> 00:05:01,031
or else you'll end up
with Creole cement.
41
00:05:01,104 --> 00:05:02,696
Later, Higgie baby.
42
00:05:08,812 --> 00:05:09,972
Cement.
43
00:05:13,150 --> 00:05:14,310
And chili.
44
00:05:14,384 --> 00:05:17,751
Genuine Creole bayou.
45
00:05:20,791 --> 00:05:23,658
Magnum, I very seldom
ask a favor of you,
46
00:05:23,727 --> 00:05:25,524
but this is
very important to me.
47
00:05:25,596 --> 00:05:27,791
In all honesty, there is
no one else I would trust
48
00:05:27,865 --> 00:05:31,301
to pick up my old,
dear friend, Asher Solomon.
49
00:05:32,302 --> 00:05:33,997
Will you go?
50
00:05:34,137 --> 00:05:35,900
Will you stir?
I can't.
51
00:05:46,416 --> 00:05:49,943
Flight 42 from Taipei
now arriving at Gate 27.
52
00:05:52,823 --> 00:05:55,451
I was all the way
to the airport
before I realized
53
00:05:55,526 --> 00:05:58,723
Higgins had left
without telling me what
Asher Solomon looked like.
54
00:05:59,196 --> 00:06:01,357
I figured
I'd have to improvise.
55
00:06:04,001 --> 00:06:06,765
Mr. Yamashiro to a
white courtesy phone.
56
00:06:06,837 --> 00:06:09,135
Mr. Yamashiro to a
white courtesy phone.
57
00:06:09,206 --> 00:06:10,503
Aloha.
58
00:06:11,975 --> 00:06:13,306
Hello.
59
00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:19,110
I am Rabbi Asher Solomon.
60
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,387
Welcome to Hawaii.
61
00:06:29,726 --> 00:06:32,786
At first,
I was really annoyed with
Higgins for not telling me
62
00:06:32,863 --> 00:06:34,262
Asher Solomon was a Rabbi.
63
00:06:34,831 --> 00:06:36,992
But as we drove along,
I realized
64
00:06:37,334 --> 00:06:41,430
I couldn't stay annoyed
at Higgins or anybody else
with Rabbi Solomon around.
65
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,997
It wasn't exactly
the stories he told,
66
00:06:44,641 --> 00:06:47,576
though, as he talked, I almost
felt I'd been there with him
67
00:06:47,644 --> 00:06:51,080
as he fled from Poland
to Shanghai, fought with
the Haganah in Israel,
68
00:06:51,448 --> 00:06:54,144
coached the Maccabiah
soccer team in New York.
69
00:06:54,251 --> 00:06:55,616
But more than that,
70
00:06:56,219 --> 00:06:58,881
he just had a knack for
making you like him.
71
00:06:59,256 --> 00:07:02,020
I've been thinking, Thomas,
of the Polynesians.
72
00:07:02,426 --> 00:07:05,156
Journeying over vast
stretches of this
73
00:07:05,228 --> 00:07:08,026
beautiful and often
treacherous Pacific Ocean
74
00:07:08,098 --> 00:07:10,828
in open boats
no bigger than this car,
75
00:07:11,068 --> 00:07:14,003
seeking paradise
as foretold by their god.
76
00:07:14,071 --> 00:07:16,005
Not unlike the early Hebrews.
77
00:07:16,106 --> 00:07:18,165
Traveling in the desert,
wandering there,
78
00:07:18,241 --> 00:07:21,574
looking for the Promised Land,
for the land of Canaan.
79
00:07:21,979 --> 00:07:26,109
Or even the European Jews
seeking refuge in Shanghai
in 1945?
80
00:07:26,183 --> 00:07:29,914
Ah, yes, Shanghai.
Nice, beautiful people.
81
00:07:30,387 --> 00:07:33,788
It was a refuge of peace,
until the Japanese set up
82
00:07:33,857 --> 00:07:36,985
the munitions dumps and
the Allies came and bombed.
83
00:07:37,060 --> 00:07:40,860
The temple was destroyed.
It was laid in waste
completely.
84
00:07:41,164 --> 00:07:43,792
And this poor Torah
was buried under the rubble.
85
00:07:43,867 --> 00:07:47,325
Oh, but that's all the past.
It's history.
86
00:07:47,771 --> 00:07:51,798
Now, to be here, in Hawaii,
for a reunion
87
00:07:51,875 --> 00:07:54,935
with the many families
who came from Shanghai.
88
00:07:55,412 --> 00:07:58,006
And this poor Torah
that we gave up for lost,
89
00:07:58,315 --> 00:08:02,376
returned to us by
the Taiwanese Department
of Antiquities.
90
00:08:12,829 --> 00:08:14,490
Perhaps he needs assistance.
91
00:08:15,332 --> 00:08:16,560
Maybe.
92
00:08:28,345 --> 00:08:29,710
Hold it. Don't move.
93
00:08:32,582 --> 00:08:35,073
Hey! What's going on here?
94
00:08:40,223 --> 00:08:41,850
Come on! Let's go!
95
00:08:59,009 --> 00:09:00,271
You all right?
96
00:09:02,979 --> 00:09:04,173
The Torah.
97
00:09:07,084 --> 00:09:10,417
That filthy pig
took my Torah.
98
00:09:13,857 --> 00:09:16,621
I was shocked to hear of this
senseless, violent act,
99
00:09:16,693 --> 00:09:19,594
and I take personal
responsibility
for your tragic loss.
100
00:09:19,696 --> 00:09:22,688
Please, Miss Chou,
it was nobody's fault.
101
00:09:23,166 --> 00:09:25,464
No, no.
If I had met you
at the airport
102
00:09:25,535 --> 00:09:27,662
perhaps none of this
would have happened.
103
00:09:27,738 --> 00:09:30,070
I regret that other
obligations kept me away.
104
00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:33,701
If it weren't for you
and your friends in
the Department of Antiquities,
105
00:09:33,944 --> 00:09:37,345
the Torah would never have
been found or turned over
to me in the first place.
106
00:09:37,414 --> 00:09:40,941
But...
I cannot believe that God
has brought us this far
107
00:09:41,017 --> 00:09:43,212
only to have
the Torah lost again.
108
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,454
So, I thank you for
your concern
109
00:09:45,522 --> 00:09:47,649
and I thank you
for your generosity
110
00:09:47,724 --> 00:09:50,056
in bringing the car
for me to use.
111
00:09:50,527 --> 00:09:52,085
It is the least
we could do.
112
00:09:52,662 --> 00:09:54,926
Well, I'm afraid
I must be on my way.
113
00:09:57,934 --> 00:09:59,868
Good night, Rabbi.
Good night.
114
00:10:00,137 --> 00:10:01,536
I do hope you feel better.
115
00:10:01,605 --> 00:10:02,902
Nice meeting you.
116
00:10:07,344 --> 00:10:09,335
Good night, Mr. Higgins.
Good night.
117
00:10:09,412 --> 00:10:11,243
Good night. Drive carefully.
118
00:10:14,217 --> 00:10:15,479
Honestly, Magnum.
119
00:10:15,685 --> 00:10:17,744
How could you allow something
like this to happen?
120
00:10:17,821 --> 00:10:21,313
Me? I was the one doing
the favor, remember?
121
00:10:21,391 --> 00:10:24,690
If you hadn't been chasing
around the North Shore trying
to track down some
122
00:10:24,761 --> 00:10:27,423
art forger-mercenary-soldier
Frank What's-his-name?
123
00:10:27,497 --> 00:10:30,022
Franz Wallen,
and I was hardly chasing.
124
00:10:30,100 --> 00:10:34,332
I was sent by Mr. Masters
to find the man and secure
the rights to his life story
125
00:10:34,404 --> 00:10:36,463
before he sold them
to someone else.
Gentlemen...
126
00:10:36,540 --> 00:10:39,168
The proceeds from the sale
of a best seller
based upon his life
127
00:10:39,242 --> 00:10:40,732
would have insured
construction of a
128
00:10:40,811 --> 00:10:42,938
desperately needed new wing
at the Children's Hospital.
129
00:10:43,013 --> 00:10:44,844
Fine, that's just
fine, Higgins,
130
00:10:44,915 --> 00:10:46,473
but the least you could've
done is warn me
131
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:48,575
I'd be walking into
a potentially dangerous
situation.
132
00:10:48,652 --> 00:10:50,643
Gentlemen...
I would think that,
in your line of work,
133
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,711
you would keep an eye out
for that sort of thing.
134
00:10:52,789 --> 00:10:55,519
Gentlemen, please,
you're giving me a headache.
135
00:10:55,592 --> 00:10:58,493
Now, Thomas, there is no way
you could have known
136
00:10:58,562 --> 00:11:01,531
that somebody organizing
a very clever plan
to steal the Torah.
137
00:11:01,598 --> 00:11:03,998
And Jonathan, even if
you had been there,
138
00:11:04,067 --> 00:11:07,195
there was nothing
you could have done
that Thomas did not do.
139
00:11:09,139 --> 00:11:10,538
Perhaps you're right.
140
00:11:11,741 --> 00:11:13,470
What do the police
have to say?
141
00:11:13,643 --> 00:11:15,372
They said
they'd do their best.
142
00:11:15,545 --> 00:11:19,641
Well, why should a piece
of parchment and some ink
be of any importance to them?
143
00:11:19,716 --> 00:11:21,047
No importance at all.
144
00:11:21,117 --> 00:11:24,712
But now, I have a car.
I will track down the Torah.
145
00:11:24,788 --> 00:11:26,153
Magnum and I
will go with you.
146
00:11:26,223 --> 00:11:28,418
No, no, you still have
this Franz Wallen to find,
147
00:11:28,491 --> 00:11:31,221
and the children need
their hospital. You must not
worry about me.
148
00:11:31,294 --> 00:11:32,784
But you know
nothing of Honolulu,
149
00:11:32,863 --> 00:11:34,956
or of tracking down
criminals, for that matter.
150
00:11:35,031 --> 00:11:36,589
Mmm, I could learn.
151
00:11:37,167 --> 00:11:41,331
With all due respect,
if I am not for myself,
who will be?
152
00:11:43,106 --> 00:11:46,269
Look, I'm afraid
it's just not that easy.
153
00:11:46,343 --> 00:11:49,835
Even if you happen to
stumble on these thieves,
you could get hurt.
154
00:11:49,946 --> 00:11:52,210
Hurt? Pish-posh.
155
00:11:54,284 --> 00:11:59,221
You must realize
that this Torah,
this piece of parchment,
156
00:12:00,056 --> 00:12:02,456
is something that I would
risk anything for.
157
00:12:03,426 --> 00:12:06,452
It is a tangible reminder
158
00:12:06,529 --> 00:12:09,430
of where we come from
and what we have
lived through.
159
00:12:10,066 --> 00:12:11,192
Look,
160
00:12:11,668 --> 00:12:14,865
my wife and son
were killed in Poland
before we could escape,
161
00:12:15,071 --> 00:12:18,006
the temple in Shanghai
has been long in ruins,
162
00:12:18,141 --> 00:12:21,838
but this Torah
has been reborn.
163
00:12:22,379 --> 00:12:24,210
It has been resurrected.
164
00:12:24,581 --> 00:12:27,641
You think I will let it
get lost again?
165
00:12:28,084 --> 00:12:29,244
No, sir.
166
00:12:32,088 --> 00:12:33,180
Well,
167
00:12:34,691 --> 00:12:37,888
if you wouldn't mind
a slightly battered
168
00:12:37,961 --> 00:12:40,623
old private investigator
tagging along,
169
00:12:41,798 --> 00:12:44,631
I would consider it
an honor to help you
in your search.
170
00:12:47,570 --> 00:12:49,037
That would be fine.
171
00:12:52,876 --> 00:12:56,676
Yeah, okay. All right.
I expect I owe you one.
172
00:12:58,882 --> 00:13:00,144
What's he mumbling about?
173
00:13:00,216 --> 00:13:02,446
He's not mumbling,
he's saying his daily prayers.
174
00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:05,420
Oh, come on.
You don't expect me to fall
for that rabbi bit, do you?
175
00:13:05,488 --> 00:13:06,853
I mean, what are you
doing with a Rab...
176
00:13:06,923 --> 00:13:09,551
He is a rabbi. He's got a cap
on the back of his head.
177
00:13:09,626 --> 00:13:11,150
It's not a cap, Rick, it's...
178
00:13:11,528 --> 00:13:13,621
Will you just give me
the address, please?
179
00:13:13,697 --> 00:13:15,221
If I would've known
he was a rabbi, I mean,
180
00:13:15,298 --> 00:13:18,324
I would've had a Bible here,
or at least I would've
straightened the office up
181
00:13:18,401 --> 00:13:20,733
and made it look
more appropriate.
Rick, the address.
182
00:13:22,238 --> 00:13:23,330
Okay.
183
00:13:24,541 --> 00:13:27,942
You know, do me a favor.
Next time, when you give me
the details,
184
00:13:28,011 --> 00:13:31,708
at least give me a little bit
more than, "The big van
was painted the same color
185
00:13:31,781 --> 00:13:35,114
"as the boys' locker room
in junior high," will you?
Here.
186
00:13:35,418 --> 00:13:38,114
You don't have to whisper.
He knows about the case.
187
00:13:38,188 --> 00:13:40,383
Oi, do I know it.
188
00:13:40,623 --> 00:13:43,717
But, Thomas, there's one thing
I don't understand.
189
00:13:44,094 --> 00:13:46,324
How do you know that
the van was rented?
190
00:13:46,396 --> 00:13:49,661
Because most of those
rental trucks have those
mileage counters
191
00:13:49,733 --> 00:13:51,325
on the rear wheels
to prevent cheating.
192
00:13:51,401 --> 00:13:53,494
Oh. I've learnt something.
193
00:13:53,937 --> 00:13:56,405
But, you know,
I'm sure that those
rental agency people
194
00:13:56,473 --> 00:13:59,533
will be very much
impressed by
your observation.
195
00:14:01,878 --> 00:14:04,642
I don't know what you're
talking about, pal,
196
00:14:05,115 --> 00:14:06,343
and I don't care.
197
00:14:06,983 --> 00:14:08,814
We only got two trucks
like you're describing,
198
00:14:08,885 --> 00:14:10,546
and I would've known
either one of them went out,
199
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:11,814
'cause I would've
dispatched them.
200
00:14:11,888 --> 00:14:13,719
There is a saying
I've heard, sir.
201
00:14:13,790 --> 00:14:18,284
"Sometimes a child has
a mind of his own, even if
forbidden by the parent."
202
00:14:19,162 --> 00:14:20,686
What's he talking about?
203
00:14:20,830 --> 00:14:24,095
Mechanic to the
loading dock. The mechanic
to the front loading dock.
204
00:14:24,167 --> 00:14:28,433
Look, all we wanna do is
talk to anybody who worked
the yard yesterday.
205
00:14:28,505 --> 00:14:31,099
Maybe look at those two
trucks that you mentioned,
206
00:14:31,174 --> 00:14:34,075
and see if one of them
has a little red paint
on it, that's all.
207
00:14:35,145 --> 00:14:36,635
Sure. Why not?
208
00:14:36,713 --> 00:14:38,840
It's no skin
off of my nose.
209
00:14:39,215 --> 00:14:41,615
Hey, Vic!
Get your butt in here.
210
00:14:42,986 --> 00:14:46,046
These guys want to know
about a van and a pickup.
211
00:15:05,842 --> 00:15:07,104
Hold it!
212
00:15:07,944 --> 00:15:09,969
Freeze! Police!
213
00:15:23,126 --> 00:15:25,492
What the hell
are you doing here?
214
00:15:29,032 --> 00:15:30,192
Gesundheit.
215
00:15:35,038 --> 00:15:36,767
A stolen Torah?
216
00:15:40,577 --> 00:15:42,442
Come on, Magnum,
you can do better than that.
217
00:15:42,512 --> 00:15:45,413
Well, strange as it sounds,
he's telling you the truth.
218
00:15:45,882 --> 00:15:48,180
Two guys in a van
ambush you,
219
00:15:48,251 --> 00:15:51,846
steal a Torah, and stash it
at a truck-rental agency?
220
00:15:51,921 --> 00:15:53,479
It's a van and a pickup.
221
00:15:53,890 --> 00:15:56,290
Magnum, I'm in no mood
to play games.
222
00:15:56,426 --> 00:15:58,894
I got four officers out
with this damn flu.
223
00:15:59,062 --> 00:16:02,964
And I personally feel
like I've been dragged over
the Hana Road after a flood.
224
00:16:03,266 --> 00:16:06,258
Don't aggravate me.
Just answer my questions.
225
00:16:06,970 --> 00:16:09,996
What were you doing
at Rent-a-Junker?
226
00:16:10,306 --> 00:16:13,241
We just wanted to talk
to this kid, Vic Makula,
227
00:16:13,309 --> 00:16:14,742
about the stolen Torah.
- Lieutenant.
228
00:16:14,811 --> 00:16:18,144
I don't wanna hear anymore
about stolen Torahs.
229
00:16:22,152 --> 00:16:26,282
All right, it looks like
you actually did file
a report on the stolen Torah.
230
00:16:26,356 --> 00:16:30,156
Forgive me,
Lieutenant, but may I ask,
what were you doing there?
231
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,452
I'm afraid that's official
police business, Rabbi.
232
00:16:34,531 --> 00:16:38,433
Well, I certainly would not
want to interfere with
official police business.
233
00:16:38,501 --> 00:16:41,231
I only asked because
Thomas here thought
234
00:16:41,304 --> 00:16:44,137
that you might
be able to give us
some information.
235
00:16:50,046 --> 00:16:53,880
I just thought you might
be able to give us
something on Vic Makula.
236
00:16:54,450 --> 00:16:58,216
If I had anything on him,
what makes you think
I could give it to you?
237
00:16:59,589 --> 00:17:02,251
Oh, Lieutenant,
you're not a well man.
238
00:17:02,325 --> 00:17:03,986
If I may make a suggestion...
239
00:17:04,060 --> 00:17:06,620
I know. Chicken soup, right?
240
00:17:06,696 --> 00:17:10,894
No, actually, chicken soup
has never worked
very well for me.
241
00:17:10,967 --> 00:17:14,130
And from what I read of
the canned variety,
with the chemicals and all,
242
00:17:14,204 --> 00:17:15,728
it's worse than
the cold itself.
243
00:17:15,805 --> 00:17:18,774
No, I have always liked
244
00:17:19,075 --> 00:17:21,805
some hot peppermint schnapps,
245
00:17:21,878 --> 00:17:25,814
together with the juice
of two limes and a teaspoonful
of baking soda.
246
00:17:25,882 --> 00:17:28,578
It works every time. Here,
I'll write it down for you.
247
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,810
You say it works every time?
248
00:17:31,888 --> 00:17:33,583
Well, most times.
249
00:17:33,656 --> 00:17:37,023
But if you take enough,
you don't care so much
that you are sick.
250
00:17:39,062 --> 00:17:41,121
That's very nice of you.
251
00:17:42,365 --> 00:17:46,199
If there's nothing else,
then we won't trouble you
any further.
252
00:17:52,008 --> 00:17:53,635
Rabbi, wait a minute.
253
00:17:55,178 --> 00:17:59,137
A few weeks ago, we got wind
that a major international
smuggling ring
254
00:17:59,215 --> 00:18:02,013
had added a Honolulu leg
to its circuit.
255
00:18:02,118 --> 00:18:06,214
But then, after hundreds
of man-hours of work,
not much else surfaced.
256
00:18:07,557 --> 00:18:08,922
Until?
257
00:18:08,992 --> 00:18:10,323
Until yesterday.
258
00:18:10,393 --> 00:18:15,228
Interpol cabled us information
that led us to this
car-and-truck-rental agency,
259
00:18:15,298 --> 00:18:17,789
and to Vic Makula
in particular.
260
00:18:18,134 --> 00:18:21,262
So, the smugglers were
using the rental agency
for transportation?
261
00:18:21,337 --> 00:18:23,100
That's what we figured.
262
00:18:23,172 --> 00:18:25,970
But we'd only had the place
staked out for two hours,
263
00:18:26,342 --> 00:18:29,277
and the two of you showed up
and blew the whole thing.
264
00:18:29,345 --> 00:18:31,506
Now, Makula's tipped off.
265
00:18:33,216 --> 00:18:34,376
Gesundheit.
266
00:18:34,450 --> 00:18:37,942
Thank you. Rabbi,
I'm only telling you
all of this
267
00:18:38,021 --> 00:18:40,751
so you'll understand
these smugglers are dangerous.
268
00:18:40,923 --> 00:18:42,857
That's why homicide
is on the case.
269
00:18:43,326 --> 00:18:46,853
We know of at least
two murders here
in Honolulu alone.
270
00:18:47,297 --> 00:18:49,959
So, be careful
where you step, huh?
271
00:18:50,533 --> 00:18:54,629
Thank you, Lieutenant,
for your concern, and aloha.
272
00:18:55,271 --> 00:18:57,466
Shalom, Rabbi. Shalom.
273
00:18:59,575 --> 00:19:02,806
I'll put some pressure
on the boys downstairs
about your Torah.
274
00:19:03,513 --> 00:19:07,916
Magnum, here's all the stuff
the police garage crew
took out of the Ferrari.
275
00:19:09,152 --> 00:19:10,449
Thanks.
276
00:19:11,220 --> 00:19:13,780
I heard there's
a lot of body damage.
277
00:19:13,856 --> 00:19:16,154
Higgins should be
real pleased about that.
278
00:19:33,776 --> 00:19:35,243
Here's your glasses, Rabbi.
279
00:19:35,311 --> 00:19:36,972
Those are not mine.
280
00:19:43,753 --> 00:19:47,621
How would you like
to take a little trip down to
Honolulu's merchant district?
281
00:19:50,493 --> 00:19:53,860
That was terrible, what
somebody did to your shop.
282
00:19:53,930 --> 00:19:55,955
This is great.
Is this you, Doctor?
283
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,225
One of my last fights,
over 20 years ago.
284
00:19:59,302 --> 00:20:01,998
I keep that there
to remind me of why
I became an optician.
285
00:20:02,071 --> 00:20:04,505
I take it you are the one
receiving the punch.
286
00:20:04,574 --> 00:20:06,007
You take it right, uncle.
287
00:20:06,075 --> 00:20:09,238
Now, what is this
information I'm supposed
to be interested in?
288
00:20:09,479 --> 00:20:11,572
I was wondering
if you ever seen
those before?
289
00:20:11,647 --> 00:20:14,207
Of course. I made them.
That's what
I used to do here.
290
00:20:14,283 --> 00:20:16,751
We were hoping
you could tell us for whom.
291
00:20:16,819 --> 00:20:19,117
Well, if I had my files,
it'd be no problem.
292
00:20:19,188 --> 00:20:21,554
I could look up the
frame registration number.
293
00:20:21,624 --> 00:20:23,683
Can you imagine?
They come in here,
they do this,
294
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,421
and all they take
are my files.
295
00:20:25,495 --> 00:20:26,826
Who'd want files?
296
00:20:28,364 --> 00:20:31,629
You think these
belong to the guy that
broke into my store?
297
00:20:31,968 --> 00:20:33,333
Yes, it's possible.
298
00:20:33,403 --> 00:20:34,836
If I ever get
my hands on him,
299
00:20:34,904 --> 00:20:37,202
he'll need more than glasses,
I can promise you that.
300
00:20:37,273 --> 00:20:40,174
Just look at them.
I mean, this lens here
301
00:20:40,243 --> 00:20:43,838
is ground real thick
and the other one's perfectly
clear. Isn't that unusual?
302
00:20:43,913 --> 00:20:47,440
Not in this shop.
I do a lot of work for
the Cauliflower Club.
303
00:20:47,517 --> 00:20:49,508
You know, old boxers
down on their luck.
304
00:20:49,585 --> 00:20:51,678
I give them a big
price break on glasses.
305
00:20:51,754 --> 00:20:54,245
Over the years, I've ground
a lot of lenses like these,
306
00:20:54,323 --> 00:20:57,019
for guys blinded in one eye
from punches or whatever.
307
00:20:57,093 --> 00:20:59,220
And you don't keep
a duplicate set of files?
308
00:20:59,295 --> 00:21:02,128
No, not really.
Wait a minute.
309
00:21:02,198 --> 00:21:04,132
Unless he paid cash.
310
00:21:04,534 --> 00:21:06,900
Hey, if I made these for
who I'm thinking of.
311
00:21:11,574 --> 00:21:14,475
Ah, here it is.
I remember him now.
312
00:21:14,544 --> 00:21:16,637
A skinhead,
mean left jab.
313
00:21:16,712 --> 00:21:18,976
Got blinded
in his right eye
in his last fight.
314
00:21:19,916 --> 00:21:23,079
T. C: Yeah, in his prime,
that Dick Ling packed
quite a wallop.
315
00:21:24,153 --> 00:21:26,815
Sort of like my Uncle Roland's
Bayou Blaster chili.
316
00:21:26,889 --> 00:21:29,722
Oh, what a wonderful aroma.
317
00:21:29,792 --> 00:21:32,226
Maui onions,
if I don't miss my guess.
318
00:21:32,662 --> 00:21:34,596
Yeah, that's right.
319
00:21:35,898 --> 00:21:39,197
Oh, you got to chop up
about six big ones real fine.
320
00:21:39,469 --> 00:21:42,905
And then, stir them
thoroughly into the chili.
321
00:21:42,972 --> 00:21:44,132
Naturally.
322
00:21:44,207 --> 00:21:48,940
Guys, do you think
you could swap recipes after
we find Dick Ling? Hmm?
323
00:21:49,011 --> 00:21:52,606
Well, like I said,
Dick Ling was real good.
324
00:21:53,449 --> 00:21:55,280
Probably could've
been world class.
325
00:21:55,651 --> 00:21:58,313
He was Island
Featherweight Champ,
as it was.
326
00:21:59,055 --> 00:22:01,990
But then he ran into
this 18-year-old kid,
327
00:22:02,058 --> 00:22:03,355
a real buzzsaw.
328
00:22:03,426 --> 00:22:05,986
Man, this kid cut
Dick Ling up so bad,
329
00:22:06,062 --> 00:22:08,553
the doctors were lucky
to save even one eye.
330
00:22:09,065 --> 00:22:12,398
You know, you got to
keep the cooking temperature
constant.
331
00:22:12,835 --> 00:22:15,565
That is why stirring
is so important.
332
00:22:15,638 --> 00:22:18,869
T.C., if I had kept
stirring yesterday,
333
00:22:18,941 --> 00:22:22,138
no one would have been
able to pick up Rabbi Solomon
at the airport.
334
00:22:22,211 --> 00:22:26,272
Then Uncle Roland's chili
would've been wasted on
a culinary rookie like me.
335
00:22:26,349 --> 00:22:28,510
Instead, you have
a real gourmet here.
336
00:22:28,584 --> 00:22:30,643
Please, Thomas, I'm
anything but a gourmet.
337
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,210
Come on, don't be
so modest, Rabbi.
338
00:22:32,288 --> 00:22:34,222
How many people could
recognize Maui onions?
339
00:22:34,290 --> 00:22:37,020
So, don't you think
it worked out
for the best, T. C?
340
00:22:40,329 --> 00:22:41,694
Well, I sure do.
341
00:22:42,765 --> 00:22:44,494
So, what about Dick Ling?
342
00:22:47,870 --> 00:22:50,100
I talked to this sports writer
buddy of mine.
343
00:22:50,172 --> 00:22:53,573
He said that Ling was working
at a meat-packing plant
downtown.
344
00:22:54,343 --> 00:22:58,302
Some guy named Shelby
gives ex-cons a break,
hires them there.
345
00:22:58,814 --> 00:23:00,475
That is most commendable.
346
00:23:00,550 --> 00:23:03,849
Yeah. Cheaper, too.
The state subsidizes them.
347
00:23:06,789 --> 00:23:08,279
Oh, Rabbi.
348
00:23:08,357 --> 00:23:10,325
Come here. Look.
349
00:23:10,393 --> 00:23:14,022
Ah, what a wonderful aroma.
350
00:23:16,832 --> 00:23:19,858
So, our Mr. Ling
is an ex-convict?
351
00:23:20,970 --> 00:23:22,494
Yeah, armed robbery.
352
00:23:23,506 --> 00:23:26,031
Mmm, mmm.
353
00:23:26,208 --> 00:23:29,075
It's almost done.
You are going to
love this chili, Rabbi.
354
00:23:29,145 --> 00:23:33,104
Oh, I'm certain I would
if I were only permitted
to eat it.
355
00:23:33,182 --> 00:23:35,548
What do you mean,
if you were permitted to...
356
00:23:38,254 --> 00:23:40,051
Oh, it's not kosher.
357
00:23:40,623 --> 00:23:43,558
But please, T.C.,
you and Thomas eat, enjoy.
358
00:23:43,626 --> 00:23:45,491
The chili smells delicious.
359
00:23:45,628 --> 00:23:47,118
Don't mind me.
360
00:23:47,196 --> 00:23:50,188
No, Ling's shift is
probably up by now.
361
00:23:50,266 --> 00:23:53,565
If we're gonna go,
we better go now.
I'll see you later, T.C.
362
00:23:54,804 --> 00:23:55,998
Keep stirring.
363
00:23:56,072 --> 00:23:58,097
It's that late already?
Oh, wait, wait a minute,
Thomas.
364
00:23:58,174 --> 00:23:59,971
Hey, I got little league
practice in 20 minutes.
365
00:24:00,042 --> 00:24:01,669
You can't... I need you
366
00:24:01,744 --> 00:24:03,735
to stir.
367
00:24:18,995 --> 00:24:20,428
Are you Dick Ling?
368
00:24:23,466 --> 00:24:24,660
How'd you find me?
369
00:24:24,734 --> 00:24:26,929
Hey, now, just...
Wait a minute.
We just want...
370
00:24:27,003 --> 00:24:28,129
Over there!
371
00:24:28,204 --> 00:24:29,831
Take it easy.
Come on, move it.
372
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,501
No funny stuff, now.
373
00:24:42,752 --> 00:24:44,049
Get in.
374
00:25:02,505 --> 00:25:05,167
Ah, he must have
jammed the handle.
375
00:25:05,241 --> 00:25:09,143
There's got to be
a floor pedal or
an emergency release
376
00:25:09,211 --> 00:25:10,678
or something, somewhere.
377
00:25:13,649 --> 00:25:15,014
We have a saying.
378
00:25:15,351 --> 00:25:18,411
"If you're in the dark,
you can't see
what's in the light.
379
00:25:18,487 --> 00:25:21,752
"But if you're in the light,
you can't see
what's in the..."
380
00:25:21,824 --> 00:25:24,418
Actually, I'm not certain that
this saying applies here.
381
00:25:24,493 --> 00:25:26,552
I like it anyway.
Here, Thomas, have a coat.
382
00:25:26,629 --> 00:25:28,119
I think you
must be freezing.
383
00:25:28,197 --> 00:25:30,290
No, no. We're not gonna
be here that long.
384
00:25:30,366 --> 00:25:33,062
You know,
this is the first time
I've been properly dressed
385
00:25:33,135 --> 00:25:35,262
since I arrived in Hawaii.
386
00:25:39,542 --> 00:25:41,373
That's quite an idea.
387
00:25:41,744 --> 00:25:43,006
There we go.
388
00:25:44,346 --> 00:25:45,506
Here we are.
389
00:25:48,684 --> 00:25:49,776
All right.
390
00:25:50,252 --> 00:25:51,344
Now...
391
00:25:51,854 --> 00:25:54,322
One, two, three.
392
00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:05,198
It's unlatched,
but it won't open.
393
00:26:05,267 --> 00:26:06,928
He must've blocked
the door with something.
394
00:26:07,002 --> 00:26:09,197
Thomas, there's
a bright side here.
395
00:26:09,271 --> 00:26:11,637
If Mr. Ling has blocked
the door shut,
396
00:26:11,774 --> 00:26:14,140
then it has to mean that
he's not standing out there
397
00:26:14,210 --> 00:26:15,905
with a gun waiting for us.
398
00:26:15,978 --> 00:26:19,072
That's a very good
deduction, Rabbi.
Let's try this again.
399
00:26:19,548 --> 00:26:22,517
Yes, but this time you have
to put your heart into it.
400
00:26:22,585 --> 00:26:24,746
You have to have faith.
Wait a minute.
401
00:26:26,956 --> 00:26:28,287
Amen!
402
00:26:40,369 --> 00:26:41,529
Gesundheit.
403
00:26:41,604 --> 00:26:44,072
All right, Magnum,
you're off the hook again.
404
00:26:44,140 --> 00:26:46,734
Ballistics says the.38
they found you with
405
00:26:46,809 --> 00:26:48,777
was not the gun
that killed Ling.
406
00:26:48,844 --> 00:26:51,108
Wait a minute,
what do you mean
I'm off the hook?
407
00:26:51,180 --> 00:26:52,442
Didn't you guys
shoot Ling?
408
00:26:52,515 --> 00:26:53,914
Don't be ridiculous.
409
00:26:53,983 --> 00:26:57,350
They just answered an
anonymous shots-fired
call in,
410
00:26:57,419 --> 00:27:00,650
and found you and the Rabbi
there with Ling's body.
411
00:27:01,223 --> 00:27:05,319
They're checking both
bullets against the one
that killed Vic Makula.
412
00:27:07,229 --> 00:27:08,696
Makula's dead, too?
413
00:27:09,498 --> 00:27:12,228
Fished his body out of
the Ala Wai this morning.
414
00:27:12,334 --> 00:27:14,632
What a horrible
waste of youth.
415
00:27:15,004 --> 00:27:18,906
Believe me, Lieutenant,
Thomas and I are just
as puzzled as you.
416
00:27:20,042 --> 00:27:22,442
I guess we're back
to square one.
417
00:27:22,545 --> 00:27:23,842
Well, yeah. I mean,
418
00:27:23,913 --> 00:27:26,438
unless we could
find out who the
419
00:27:26,849 --> 00:27:29,181
gun that killed Ling
was registered to.
420
00:27:29,251 --> 00:27:31,412
I mean, that would be
a place for us to start.
421
00:27:31,487 --> 00:27:32,647
Now, wait a minute.
422
00:27:32,721 --> 00:27:33,813
It didn't belong
to Dick Ling?
423
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:35,948
No. Ex-cons
can't own firearms.
424
00:27:36,158 --> 00:27:39,025
You know I can't give
you that information.
425
00:27:39,094 --> 00:27:42,086
We couldn't ask the Lieutenant
to give us that, no.
426
00:27:42,164 --> 00:27:43,688
I'm sure it would be
against regulations.
427
00:27:43,766 --> 00:27:45,063
That's right.
- Yeah, yeah.
428
00:27:45,134 --> 00:27:48,570
But regulations could
be bent. I mean, as long as
nobody got hurt.
429
00:27:48,637 --> 00:27:51,731
If it would lead us a step
closer to finding the Torah.
430
00:27:51,807 --> 00:27:53,468
Maybe even Ling's killer.
431
00:27:53,542 --> 00:27:54,804
That's police business.
432
00:27:54,877 --> 00:27:56,674
- No, we can't ask.
- No.
433
00:27:56,745 --> 00:27:57,973
Good.
434
00:27:58,047 --> 00:28:01,744
I will just have to
accept the fact that
the sacred Torah,
435
00:28:01,817 --> 00:28:05,651
symbol of faith and courage
of countless generations
of my people,
436
00:28:05,721 --> 00:28:10,522
has been irrevocably lost,
under the nose of Hawaii's
finest detective.
437
00:28:18,934 --> 00:28:20,401
Excuse me.
438
00:28:22,037 --> 00:28:24,904
I left something
in the copy room.
I'll be right back.
439
00:28:30,579 --> 00:28:32,046
I'll be right back.
440
00:28:55,337 --> 00:28:58,829
Well, Thomas,
what's our next move?
441
00:28:59,742 --> 00:29:01,642
A surprise visit to Shelby.
442
00:29:02,544 --> 00:29:05,138
But, if as
Lieutenant Tanaka says,
443
00:29:05,214 --> 00:29:08,274
he has already been cleared
of the Ling murder.
444
00:29:08,717 --> 00:29:12,414
Yeah, well, Ling was carrying
a gun registered to Shelby,
445
00:29:12,488 --> 00:29:14,080
Ling works
at Shelby's factory,
446
00:29:14,156 --> 00:29:16,681
and Ling was one of the guys
who attacked us
and took the Torah.
447
00:29:16,759 --> 00:29:19,421
I would think
that Shelby might know
something about that.
448
00:29:19,495 --> 00:29:20,757
Yes.
449
00:29:20,996 --> 00:29:25,763
So, it appears that things
are starting to go our way.
450
00:29:50,159 --> 00:29:54,892
Oh, don't worry, Thomas.
I'll have it fixed in no time.
451
00:29:55,764 --> 00:29:59,598
If you can find me a jack.
452
00:30:00,970 --> 00:30:02,597
Oh, that's okay, Rabbi.
453
00:30:04,540 --> 00:30:06,201
You just get the next one.
454
00:30:07,142 --> 00:30:09,372
Oh, all right.
455
00:30:10,212 --> 00:30:13,579
Maybe a story could make
the task seem faster.
456
00:30:13,649 --> 00:30:14,877
You know something?
457
00:30:14,950 --> 00:30:17,714
You know what
I would like to hear is how
you and Higgins met.
458
00:30:17,786 --> 00:30:19,378
I couldn't. No.
459
00:30:19,455 --> 00:30:22,515
Jonathan doesn't like
to have the story repeated.
460
00:30:23,058 --> 00:30:25,390
Oh, I don't think he'd mind
you telling me.
461
00:30:25,461 --> 00:30:27,520
All right.
It's a good story.
462
00:30:27,863 --> 00:30:30,195
It was in Palestine,
after the war.
463
00:30:30,866 --> 00:30:33,357
You know that Palestine
was then ruled by the British,
464
00:30:33,435 --> 00:30:36,734
and for Jews,
it was impossible
for them to emigrate.
465
00:30:36,805 --> 00:30:39,399
They wouldn't allow it.
Naturally, it didn't stop us.
466
00:30:40,075 --> 00:30:41,303
Naturally.
467
00:30:41,377 --> 00:30:45,177
A few of my friends and I,
we liberated a lifeboat
468
00:30:45,247 --> 00:30:47,545
from that tramp steamer
that we were on,
469
00:30:47,616 --> 00:30:51,643
and under cover of night,
we rowed all the way
to the shore.
470
00:30:52,321 --> 00:30:56,087
When we got there,
there was a British patrol
standing there.
471
00:30:58,594 --> 00:30:59,652
Higgins.
472
00:30:59,728 --> 00:31:03,323
What could we do?
Row out into the sea?
Jump into the water?
473
00:31:03,399 --> 00:31:07,062
You must understand that
the British had a standing
order to shoot on sight.
474
00:31:07,136 --> 00:31:11,835
Well, we landed the boat
and put our fate
in the hands of God.
475
00:31:12,708 --> 00:31:14,801
We sat there for what
seemed like an eternity.
476
00:31:14,877 --> 00:31:17,641
I was looking straight into
that British soldier's face.
477
00:31:18,213 --> 00:31:20,738
I could see the struggle
in his eyes.
478
00:31:21,283 --> 00:31:25,219
And all of a sudden,
he made a smart left turn,
as if he never saw us.
479
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,721
And walked away,
leaving us free to scatter
into the dark, to freedom.
480
00:31:32,528 --> 00:31:35,326
So, Higgins disobeyed
a direct standing order.
481
00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:38,164
Years later,
482
00:31:38,233 --> 00:31:41,066
it was in London,
on Trafalgar Square,
right outside the museum.
483
00:31:41,136 --> 00:31:42,865
I see a face in the crowd.
484
00:31:44,073 --> 00:31:47,270
I get goose pimples all over.
My palms begin to sweat.
485
00:31:47,776 --> 00:31:51,234
I wanted to throw my arms
around him and thank him.
486
00:31:51,313 --> 00:31:53,008
He must've thought
I was meshugge!
487
00:31:53,082 --> 00:31:56,176
I said,
"You were in Palestine!"
He said, "Yes."
488
00:31:56,618 --> 00:31:57,983
This, that,
the other thing, I said,
489
00:31:58,053 --> 00:32:00,749
"How could a British soldier
disobey a standing order?"
490
00:32:00,823 --> 00:32:03,485
And he answered, very calmly,
you know how he speaks.
491
00:32:04,159 --> 00:32:08,027
He said, "I was obeying
a higher law
492
00:32:08,097 --> 00:32:11,089
"that does not
permit me to shoot
493
00:32:11,166 --> 00:32:14,329
"unarmed refugees
looking for a home."
494
00:32:29,852 --> 00:32:34,050
A little piece of that Torah
will always belong
to Jonathan Higgins.
495
00:32:36,859 --> 00:32:38,884
Torah?
Who would steal a Torah?
496
00:32:38,961 --> 00:32:40,895
Well, that's why
we're here, Mr. Shelby.
497
00:32:40,963 --> 00:32:44,091
We were kind of hoping
you could help us
figure that out.
498
00:32:46,902 --> 00:32:49,666
If I may make a suggestion,
Mr. Shelby.
499
00:32:50,139 --> 00:32:53,506
If you keep
your left foot square with
the line of the ball,
500
00:32:53,575 --> 00:32:56,043
keep your head down,
and follow through,
501
00:32:56,111 --> 00:32:57,840
you'll have
much more success.
502
00:32:58,514 --> 00:33:00,038
Yeah?
Mmm-hmm.
503
00:33:14,863 --> 00:33:16,023
Hmm.
504
00:33:17,566 --> 00:33:18,965
Thanks for the tip.
505
00:33:19,034 --> 00:33:20,365
Not at all.
506
00:33:20,435 --> 00:33:22,665
Now, perhaps you'd like
to return the favor?
507
00:33:23,438 --> 00:33:26,134
Maybe.
What do you have in mind?
508
00:33:26,208 --> 00:33:27,675
We were wondering, Mr. Shelby,
509
00:33:27,743 --> 00:33:32,271
why you would give a man
with Mr. Ling's background
access to your handgun?
510
00:33:33,916 --> 00:33:35,440
Believe me, I didn't.
511
00:33:35,884 --> 00:33:39,411
Ling stole the gun
out of my office drawer,
512
00:33:40,255 --> 00:33:42,849
and I don't use it,
so I never realized
it was missing.
513
00:33:42,925 --> 00:33:44,756
I wouldn't trust Dick Ling
with a gun
514
00:33:44,826 --> 00:33:46,691
or much of anything else,
for that matter.
515
00:33:46,762 --> 00:33:48,889
Yeah, but you
gave him a job.
516
00:33:49,298 --> 00:33:50,492
Sure I did.
517
00:33:50,566 --> 00:33:53,729
I give a lot of ex-cons jobs.
Got to give them
a helping hand.
518
00:33:53,802 --> 00:33:56,032
I know it's tough
for them out there.
519
00:33:56,104 --> 00:33:58,334
But I also know
which ones to trust.
520
00:33:59,208 --> 00:34:01,142
Now, you'll have to
pardon me, I'm afraid,
521
00:34:01,210 --> 00:34:04,737
because I have
a very important golf date.
With my banker, no less.
522
00:34:04,813 --> 00:34:06,940
Now, please, hang around,
enjoy yourselves.
523
00:34:07,015 --> 00:34:08,539
Have a drink if you'd like.
524
00:34:09,618 --> 00:34:10,880
Bye-bye, now.
525
00:34:14,790 --> 00:34:16,052
Don't wait up for me.
526
00:34:17,459 --> 00:34:19,484
I don't trust that man.
527
00:34:20,095 --> 00:34:22,563
I'm sorry,
but I don't.
528
00:34:42,084 --> 00:34:44,314
Thomas, please pull over
and stop the car.
529
00:34:44,386 --> 00:34:45,648
What's wrong?
530
00:34:45,721 --> 00:34:48,053
Thomas, please, stop the car.
Pull over, please.
531
00:34:57,699 --> 00:34:59,064
There, now stop.
532
00:34:59,401 --> 00:35:00,663
All right.
533
00:35:01,036 --> 00:35:02,333
Thank you.
534
00:35:02,771 --> 00:35:05,399
Wait a minute, Rabbi,
what's the matter?
535
00:35:05,474 --> 00:35:08,841
It's almost sundown,
and our Sabbath
is about to begin.
536
00:35:08,910 --> 00:35:11,879
Our tradition does not
permit me to ride in the car
on the Sabbath.
537
00:35:11,947 --> 00:35:13,209
I'll see you over
at the estate.
538
00:35:13,282 --> 00:35:16,012
But that's over two miles.
You can't walk all that way.
539
00:35:16,084 --> 00:35:18,018
I'm not an invalid,
thank you.
540
00:35:18,086 --> 00:35:20,714
You see, the Sabbath
is a pillar of our faith,
541
00:35:20,889 --> 00:35:23,881
and we're obligated to honor
the day and keep it holy.
542
00:35:23,959 --> 00:35:25,688
I'll see you over
at the estate.
543
00:35:33,669 --> 00:35:35,136
Wait a minute!
544
00:35:48,884 --> 00:35:50,215
I'll walk with you.
545
00:36:10,038 --> 00:36:11,403
Here, Rabbi.
546
00:36:16,078 --> 00:36:17,272
Amen.
547
00:36:19,014 --> 00:36:20,174
Amen.
548
00:36:36,932 --> 00:36:39,526
Rabbi Solomon, Mr. Magnum,
are you all right?
549
00:36:39,801 --> 00:36:43,259
I think so. I don't suppose
you know anything
about that explosion?
550
00:36:43,772 --> 00:36:44,898
No. What do you mean?
551
00:36:44,973 --> 00:36:47,407
Come on, Miss Chou,
you've been following us
around all day.
552
00:36:47,476 --> 00:36:50,502
Now, that could be
a huge coincidence,
but somehow I doubt it.
553
00:36:51,046 --> 00:36:54,015
It is not what you think.
Would you please
get into the car?
554
00:36:54,082 --> 00:36:56,050
That is very gracious,
Miss Chou,
555
00:36:56,118 --> 00:37:00,179
but the Sabbath has begun,
and I'm not permitted to ride
in a car on the Sabbath.
556
00:37:00,255 --> 00:37:03,224
Rabbi, I must insist
you accept my invitation.
557
00:37:03,291 --> 00:37:06,089
If you want your Torah back,
you must come with me.
558
00:37:06,161 --> 00:37:07,890
We have many thing
to discuss,
559
00:37:07,963 --> 00:37:11,524
including how you smuggled
the Shen Wa rubies
into this country.
560
00:37:23,245 --> 00:37:25,679
The Shen Wa's rubies
are among my country's
561
00:37:25,747 --> 00:37:29,012
most treasured and valuable
historical antiquities.
562
00:37:29,284 --> 00:37:32,253
And you accuse me
of smuggling them
out of Taiwan?
563
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,584
I could never do
such a terrible thing.
564
00:37:34,656 --> 00:37:39,184
You simply
do not understand my feeling
about the legacy of our past.
565
00:37:39,628 --> 00:37:41,289
I think maybe I do.
566
00:37:44,566 --> 00:37:46,158
Do you see this?
567
00:37:46,835 --> 00:37:49,963
It's over 600 years old,
from the Ming dynasty.
568
00:37:50,939 --> 00:37:54,375
Just touching it gives me
a feeling of being connected.
569
00:37:55,277 --> 00:37:57,575
A direct link to my ancestors.
570
00:37:57,679 --> 00:38:00,876
That's very nice.
Is that why you put
a bomb in our car?
571
00:38:01,383 --> 00:38:03,783
Mr. Magnum, if I had
wanted to kill you,
572
00:38:04,052 --> 00:38:06,816
you must admit,
I could have done it
before this.
573
00:38:07,489 --> 00:38:10,856
Over the last few years,
many precious antiquities
574
00:38:10,926 --> 00:38:12,917
have disappeared
from our museum.
575
00:38:14,095 --> 00:38:19,055
Gems, pictures, statues,
and many other objets d'art.
576
00:38:19,267 --> 00:38:22,100
All of which brave men
like my own father
577
00:38:22,170 --> 00:38:24,832
risked their lives to rescue
out of the mainland
578
00:38:24,906 --> 00:38:28,205
before Mao's cultural purge
destroyed them forever.
579
00:38:29,110 --> 00:38:33,137
We have tried desperately
to find the men responsible
for this terrible loss.
580
00:38:33,548 --> 00:38:36,073
And until recently,
we have failed.
581
00:38:36,718 --> 00:38:39,812
So, you see, Rabbi,
I do understand how you feel.
582
00:38:42,624 --> 00:38:45,320
You said,
"Until recently."
583
00:38:45,393 --> 00:38:49,454
That must mean that
you know who they are.
584
00:38:49,531 --> 00:38:52,125
One of them.
Their contact in Taiwan.
585
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,636
And that was the same man
who arranged for your Torah
to be returned to you
586
00:38:55,704 --> 00:38:57,797
with the Shen Wa rubies
inside.
587
00:38:58,573 --> 00:39:02,441
What we didn't know is,
who was on this side?
588
00:39:02,677 --> 00:39:05,077
Who was going to receive
the stolen gems?
589
00:39:06,047 --> 00:39:09,073
So, you knew about
the smuggling operation
and you let it happen.
590
00:39:09,150 --> 00:39:10,777
We had to get
to the key man,
591
00:39:10,852 --> 00:39:14,447
and we thought that
if we exchanged the rubies
with copies and follow them...
592
00:39:14,523 --> 00:39:17,117
And you didn't think
it was all that important
to tell the Rabbi
593
00:39:17,192 --> 00:39:19,251
that the Torah and his life
was in danger?
594
00:39:19,327 --> 00:39:21,386
We never meant to lose
sight of the Torah,
595
00:39:21,463 --> 00:39:23,863
and I'm terribly sorry
it is lost.
596
00:39:24,065 --> 00:39:26,625
Well, the important thing is
to get the Torah back.
597
00:39:26,701 --> 00:39:30,364
We have heard a rumor that
a buyer is in Honolulu,
598
00:39:30,438 --> 00:39:32,668
and tonight he will see
the rubies.
599
00:39:32,741 --> 00:39:37,405
And I had hoped that perhaps
you would find out where
the location is going to be.
600
00:39:37,579 --> 00:39:42,448
And perhaps
we could stop the smugglers
and retrieve the Torah.
601
00:39:43,018 --> 00:39:44,349
Will you help us?
602
00:39:48,657 --> 00:39:50,090
What could it hurt?
603
00:39:51,826 --> 00:39:53,316
Why should we?
604
00:39:53,495 --> 00:39:55,588
We have a saying,
605
00:39:55,664 --> 00:39:59,100
"In order to learn
from the past,
606
00:39:59,935 --> 00:40:02,995
"a man must forgive it."
607
00:40:03,738 --> 00:40:06,536
Thank you.
We have the same saying.
608
00:40:06,808 --> 00:40:08,605
We have a saying, too.
609
00:40:09,444 --> 00:40:11,469
"Once burned, twice shy."
610
00:40:16,952 --> 00:40:19,113
T. C: What makes you think
Shelby put a bomb in your car?
611
00:40:19,187 --> 00:40:20,950
And give me my gun out of
the glove compartment.
612
00:40:21,022 --> 00:40:24,583
Deduction.
It wasn't there when we left
the police department.
613
00:40:24,659 --> 00:40:26,058
That we know for sure.
614
00:40:26,127 --> 00:40:29,494
Yeah. And so, naturally,
you couldn't call the police.
615
00:40:29,564 --> 00:40:32,158
I didn't say that I couldn't
call the police, T.C.
616
00:40:32,233 --> 00:40:34,861
What I said was, if Mia Chou's
information was correct,
617
00:40:34,936 --> 00:40:36,801
the exchange would take
place about midnight.
618
00:40:36,871 --> 00:40:39,305
And they couldn't have
a search warrant by then.
619
00:40:39,374 --> 00:40:40,966
Right. That's what I said.
620
00:40:41,042 --> 00:40:44,102
Yeah. Even if the guy
even has the jewels.
621
00:40:44,179 --> 00:40:46,113
Well, if he didn't
have the jewels,
622
00:40:46,181 --> 00:40:49,150
then why would he
kill Ling and Makula?
623
00:40:49,217 --> 00:40:51,481
The two people who could
have led us to them.
624
00:40:51,553 --> 00:40:52,713
Deduction.
625
00:40:52,787 --> 00:40:54,118
Deductions.
626
00:40:56,658 --> 00:40:58,091
T. C: Thomas, look.
627
00:41:25,887 --> 00:41:28,651
Okay, Rabbi, you wait here
for half an hour.
628
00:41:28,723 --> 00:41:31,021
If we're not out,
call Tanaka.
629
00:41:31,393 --> 00:41:32,587
Do you have a plan?
630
00:41:32,661 --> 00:41:33,889
Of course we have a plan.
631
00:41:35,130 --> 00:41:36,427
Sort of.
632
00:42:02,223 --> 00:42:03,315
It's locked.
633
00:42:08,396 --> 00:42:09,829
Rabbi.
634
00:42:11,099 --> 00:42:12,930
I couldn't wait in the car.
635
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,335
Don't make me ask
again, Shelby.
636
00:42:20,408 --> 00:42:21,773
Where are the rubies?
637
00:42:25,513 --> 00:42:27,504
The Torah, what are they
doing to the Torah?
638
00:42:27,582 --> 00:42:28,913
Shh, they might hear us.
639
00:42:28,983 --> 00:42:30,848
They'll hear you
better inside.
640
00:42:31,553 --> 00:42:32,781
Drop them.
641
00:42:52,507 --> 00:42:53,667
Good work.
642
00:42:54,209 --> 00:42:57,770
Well, Magnum,
may I be so bold as to ask
what you're doing here?
643
00:42:58,279 --> 00:43:01,544
Well, we were just trying to
make sure you wouldn't cut us
out of the rubies deal,
644
00:43:01,616 --> 00:43:04,346
and from the looks of things,
that's exactly what
you're trying to do.
645
00:43:04,419 --> 00:43:07,445
Shelby, what is this stupid
game you're trying to pull?
646
00:43:07,889 --> 00:43:09,413
These gems are
all counterfeit.
647
00:43:09,491 --> 00:43:11,186
What? What are you
talking about?
648
00:43:11,259 --> 00:43:12,590
Look.
649
00:43:12,660 --> 00:43:14,958
I told you they wouldn't
fall for it, Shelby.
650
00:43:15,029 --> 00:43:16,121
You shut up!
651
00:43:16,197 --> 00:43:17,630
Yeah, we tried
to warn him.
652
00:43:17,699 --> 00:43:20,099
Don't listen to them.
These rubies can't be fake.
653
00:43:20,168 --> 00:43:22,193
I've had that Torah
ever since
it got to Hawaii.
654
00:43:22,270 --> 00:43:23,862
Well, what're you
pulling a gun for? Look.
655
00:43:23,938 --> 00:43:25,769
Rabbi, you remember
what they say?
656
00:43:26,374 --> 00:43:29,241
"If you're in the dark,
you can see
what's in the light,
657
00:43:29,310 --> 00:43:32,575
"but if you're in the light,
you can't see
what's in the dark."
658
00:43:32,647 --> 00:43:34,615
They have been in my control
ever since they got here.
659
00:43:34,682 --> 00:43:35,706
What the hell?
660
00:44:10,018 --> 00:44:11,246
Mr. Magnum,
661
00:44:11,452 --> 00:44:13,249
I want to thank you
for all your help,
662
00:44:13,321 --> 00:44:15,516
and for referring me
to Lieutenant Tanaka.
663
00:44:16,057 --> 00:44:17,319
Thank you.
664
00:44:19,127 --> 00:44:23,723
Yeah, but, Magnum,
next time you get into
a mess like this,
665
00:44:23,832 --> 00:44:25,959
don't expect me
to bail you out again.
666
00:44:46,354 --> 00:44:48,788
And just as I was
about to close the deal,
667
00:44:48,857 --> 00:44:51,883
this sniveling reporter
from American Star magazine
668
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,360
tricked Wallen into
signing with them.
669
00:44:54,662 --> 00:44:56,493
It took every ounce
of wile in me
670
00:44:56,564 --> 00:44:59,897
to extract a promise
from them to donate
part of their royalties
671
00:44:59,968 --> 00:45:01,765
to the Children's Hospital.
672
00:45:01,970 --> 00:45:03,801
I mean, I'm most exhausted.
673
00:45:05,173 --> 00:45:06,663
You missed the turn.
674
00:45:06,908 --> 00:45:08,307
No, I didn't.
675
00:45:09,744 --> 00:45:11,041
Where are we going?
676
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,360
Magnum?
677
00:45:33,434 --> 00:45:37,097
Your friend, Asher Solomon,
has something
he'd like to tell you.
678
00:45:53,421 --> 00:45:54,854
Jonathan, come here.
679
00:45:58,293 --> 00:45:59,885
Abraham Pressman.
680
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:06,890
I don't understand.
681
00:46:07,101 --> 00:46:09,001
There's no reason
why you should.
682
00:46:09,704 --> 00:46:12,867
But 40 years ago,
this Abraham
683
00:46:13,341 --> 00:46:17,505
was on a jammed,
leaking lifeboat off
the coast of Palestine.
684
00:46:18,179 --> 00:46:22,013
Abraham, together
with 20 homeless Jews,
including myself.
685
00:46:22,083 --> 00:46:25,018
Fortunately
for Abraham, and for me,
and for the others,
686
00:46:25,086 --> 00:46:29,716
we landed on a beach in
Palestine that was patrolled
by a British soldier called
687
00:46:30,358 --> 00:46:33,521
Jonathan Quayle Higgins.
688
00:46:36,397 --> 00:46:39,798
Oi, Abraham and I
go back many years.
689
00:46:40,501 --> 00:46:41,729
Shanghai.
690
00:46:42,337 --> 00:46:43,429
Yes, he died.
691
00:46:43,504 --> 00:46:45,870
He passed away on a visit
to his family
692
00:46:46,174 --> 00:46:48,574
before I recovered the Torah.
693
00:46:49,077 --> 00:46:51,170
I wanted you to be here
694
00:46:51,579 --> 00:46:53,843
at the time when I
shared it with him.
695
00:46:54,749 --> 00:46:56,683
Asher, I'm deeply touched.
696
00:46:58,052 --> 00:47:01,852
But bringing the Torah
into a cemetery...
697
00:47:01,923 --> 00:47:05,017
I know, is against the highest
Jewish tradition,
698
00:47:05,860 --> 00:47:08,590
but after all this
Torah has been through,
699
00:47:08,663 --> 00:47:11,257
I think the good Lord above
will forgive us.
700
00:47:12,333 --> 00:47:13,561
Abraham,
701
00:47:13,634 --> 00:47:15,101
Avremele,
702
00:47:15,269 --> 00:47:19,899
this is for you,
and for all of you,
my friends.
703
00:47:23,244 --> 00:47:25,644
And now, we will take
this Torah
704
00:47:26,047 --> 00:47:29,483
to the living.
L'Chaim, Jonathan.
705
00:47:30,318 --> 00:47:31,751
L'Chaim, Asher.
706
00:47:34,022 --> 00:47:35,080
You.
707
00:47:36,391 --> 00:47:37,688
Goodbye, Abraham.
