HIGGINS: I think you should consider that if you leave like this,
you'll never know the truth of who Robin Masters is.
If you would indulge me in one more story,
I think perhaps you would find this useful.
[SIRENS BLARING]
"After five days, the medical unit had given up hope,
and a runner was sent for Father Kirkpatrick.
The runner had only been gone a scant 10 minutes
when the most miraculous event occurred.
Private Channing, whom everyone had given up for dead,
opened his eyes, looked around
and asked for a pint of stout."
[SIRENS BLARING]
- Thank you, lieutenant. - Glad to help out.
Let me know if there's a change in his condition.
Yes. Thanks.
Mrs. Magnum?
It's Peterson.
Yes, of course. I'm sorry.
I'm Father Timothy. I'll take you to your son.
Thank you.
Katherine.
You must be Jonathan.
- I... - I know.
Tom.
Naturally, I have no way of knowing for certain,
but I believe he can hear us.
I can't believe how long it takes to get from my part of the world to yours.
You'd think someone would have figured out a faster way by now.
No wonder you never come home.
[SIGHS]
Wouldn't you know,
I was leaving for the airport
and Frank had a terrible asthma attack.
They seem to be getting worse every year.
He was really incapacitated.
Oh, why am I telling you all of this?
The last thing you want to hear about is your stepfather's problems.
Anyway, he's fine. He's gonna be just fine.
Oh, Thomas,
this better not be one of your stupid practical jokes,
'cause I don't think I can stand it.
CAROL: Listen to this.
"A woman in Holland was in a coma for eight weeks.
They had completely lost hope when one day her nurse came in
and found her up, dressed and ready to go home."
Carol.
She said that she had been abducted by alien beings
and taken to another planet.
Right.
Okay, don't believe me,
but her doctors couldn't find one thing wrong with her.
Except that sometimes she speaks in this foreign tongue,
and nobody's been able to place it.
I suppose there is a remote possibility.
Stop it! Just stop it!
What do you read this kind of garbage for, anyway?
Rick.
[SIGHS]
Maybe I was just looking for a little hope.
Well, there's no hope.
He's gonna die, and all of you better get it through your head.
You're just sitting around here kidding yourselves.
I don't know what the hell good it's gonna do, anyway.
I'll go talk to him.
I don't know what we haven't thought of.
There's gotta be something we can do.
The doctors are doing everything humanly possible.
There's nothing else we can do.
Unless...
Unless we've overlooked the obvious.
Thomas, I've always tried real hard never to tell you what to do.
But if you want my opinion,
you ought to wake up and get out of this place.
You've been here long enough.
It's time to go home.
Magnum!
HIGGINS: I demand you come back immediately!
Magnum!
[HEART MONITOR FLAT LINING]
My God, what have I done?
[WHISTLING]
Time has little to do with infinity and jelly donuts.
MAGNUM: With this ring I thee wed.
[WHISTLING]
[GUN FIRES]
[WHISTLING CONTINUES]
[WHISTLING STOPS]
MAC: If you're not dead, how come nobody can see you or hear you?
If I am dead, how come I don't feel like it?
How come I feel like staying and fighting this?
- It's all a part of the process. - No. There's something else.
[GUN FIRES]
MAC: Hey, you can't just walk away from this.
It's all part of the process.
MAGNUM: No. There's something else.
Hit the brakes!
MAGNUM: No. There's something else.
[HEART MONITOR FLAT LINING]
INTERN 1: He's not responding.
INTERN 2: That's it. You can turn off the equipment.
[MONITOR TURNS OFF]
I'm sorry. We did everything we could.
Record the time of death.
11:05.
[GRUNTS]
[EXHALES]
A pint of stout.
I'd like a pint of stout.
[MOANING]
What took you so long, sport?
IBOLD: It happens with stroke patients.
The loss of motor skills and the loss of memory.
But all of the tests that the doctors have run on him
have come back negative.
I can't give you any medical reason for the fact
that he hasn't spoken since he asked for that pint of stout.
I thought transferring him to a VA hospital might jar something.
But it's been two weeks.
HIGGINS: Well, he's been through a severe trauma.
Not only the shooting, but the coma.
Perhaps it's still a residual shock effect.
Is it possible he simply doesn't remember how?
His physical condition is improving dramatically.
I've never seen such a rapid recovery.
HIGGINS: The body, at least, wants to mend.
[PAGER BEEPING]
They've rescheduled Mrs. Hutchinson's surgery.
Excuse me.
Thank you for taking time out to go over the doctors' reports with us.
Anything I can do...
I think we should reconsider telling him what happened.
I mean about Michelle.
Michelle and the little girl are gone.
HIGGINS: They're safe.
All of his doctors agree it would be very risky to give him that information.
He may not be able to handle so great a loss at this point in time.
Yo, heads up!
Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?
Playing basketball. Sorry to startle you.
Hey, I've been seeing you around. My name is Nick.
When you feel up to it,
why don't you wander on down to the physical therapy department?
I got some new equipment in. We could try it out.
RICK: We'll let you know, okay?
Sometimes you get the body moving,
it kind of shakes loose everything else that's locked up inside.
Hey, pal, there ain't nothing locked up, all right?
You want your friend to talk again,
don't go around pretending like there's no problem.
MAN: Hey, come on, coach!
NICK: I'll see you. All right, play ball!
Yo, come on, set it up, set it up, come on!
Follow through, come on underneath!
Abromowitz! Oh, you're making me crazy, man!
Back up, set up, set up.
KATHERINE: Tom.
Tom, we're back.
Did you miss me?
Well, of course you did. Why did I even ask?
Wanna go for a walk?
- MAC: You're making things very difficult. - MAGNUM: I don't care.
Well, you just have a certain amount of time to do this, you know.
MAGNUM: Just give me enough time to get through to somebody, that's all.
How much time do you need?
Time has little to do with infinity and jelly donuts.
Let's go take that walk.
HIGGINS: What did he say?
Infinity and jelly donuts, pal.
He probably didn't have anything to say, that's all.
- He's gonna be all right. - Yes.
I talked with Billy on the phone this morning.
He's got this idea
that you're going to coach his little league team this year.
Well, Frank... He offered to help out,
but with his asthma attacks, I...
Well, I don't think it's possible.
I can't go home, Mom.
Just for a little while.
I can't. Well, not yet.
There's something.
Thomas!
What is it?
I'm not sure. There's something I have to do,
but I just can't quite...
Tom, I can understand you're having strange kinds of,
I don't know, premonitions, feelings.
Whatever they are, I'm sure it's perfectly natural.
- No, it's... - After what you've been through.
[STAMMERING] No, it's more than that, Mom.
It isn't more than that.
Okay.
All right.
I know this is gonna sound strange.
[SIGHS] But if you could just try to...
Okay, I was here
when I was gone.
No. I know I was in the hospital room, in ICU, in that bed,
but I was also here.
Tom.
Kind of around.
No, I really was.
Ask the dogs. They saw me.
All right, I know you can't ask the dogs.
They couldn't tell you. But they would if they could.
Now the point is,
I was here,
and I remember some of it
and that's why
I know there's something I have to do.
But I...
I can't remember everything.
I just get the feeling that Michelle is somehow in danger,
and I need to help her.
- Tom, Michelle... - Hey, Thomas!
Boy, I'm glad I caught you. I got all the way to the car.
I realized I forgot to give you this.
Al Kaline, his rookie year.
I bumped into a friend of mine this morning
who was kind of down and out on his luck.
He wanted to sell it, so I bought it, figuring that you'd like to have it.
You were here all morning.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you.
There's a message at the nurses' station.
Something about Frank being a lot better since his attack this morning.
Thank you.
Thomas, look at the back.
The stats and everything. I mean, it's in mint condition.
It's very rare for a card that old.
Thanks, Rick.
Oh, by the way, you're welcome.
For what?
For the birth certificate and the documents that got you out of jail.
Oh, I never got a chance to thank you.
Yes, you did.
CAROL: You were there and you were here.
Right. I guess that's the best way to put it.
At the same time?
Right.
You don't believe me.
No, I wouldn't say exactly that I don't believe you. I just...
All right. All right. You
and T.C. and Agatha and Higgins and...
Stop that. And Tanaka and Ibold
were all at the estate, talking about me,
as if I was already dead, by the way, which I didn't especially appreciate...
- We were in shock. - Aha!
- "Aha" what? - Aha, admit it.
I mean, admit that I was right about you all being there.
Well, of course we were all there.
And how could I have known that if I wasn't there?
Because Higgins told you, Thomas.
When you were in your coma he told you everything.
Are you saying that I heard all of that from the hospital?
And then you imagined it.
You have a very vivid imagination.
Listen, Thomas,
I'm just happy that you're alive,
and whatever happened or whatever you think happened,
it's all over and done with anyway.
Something happened.
- I'm talking about the shooting. - Something happened.
Something you don't wanna tell me about.
- Oh, Thomas... - What is it?
Hey, Thomas, I'm gonna put an end to that theory of yours once and for all.
[WHISTLES]
Come on.
Hey, Magnum, great to see you!
Mac?
No. Jim Boning. He just looks like Mac.
- This is Jim Boning? - Yeah.
How you doing?
The guy that Thomas thinks looks like MacReynolds?
Yeah. You see, you must've had dealings with Mac.
I mean, with Jim and when you went into the coma...
- I don't think he looks like Mac. - What are you talking about?
He looks exactly like Mac, except for the mustache.
Anyway, when you went into the coma,
you thought you were having a conversation with Mac,
but you couldn't have been because Mac is dead.
No, it isn't just the mustache,
it's the eyes and the hair and the smile.
Look, I was kind of in the middle of a very important business meeting, so...
RICK: Yeah, jacks are better to open.
So as much as I'm enjoying...
[MOANING]
What the hell do you think you're doing?
RICK: Well, do you believe me now?
Well, it was worth a try.
[KEYS JINGLING]
[EXHALES]
[SIGHS]
Hello, Tina Calvin, this is Theodore Calvin.
Yeah, I know it's late.
I had three charters today,
a whole week's worth of paperwork waiting for me.
How are the kids?
I just wanted to say good night to them.
No, I haven't talked to Thomas today.
I've been busy. I told you...
Yeah, okay.
Good night.
Thomas Magnum, please. Yeah, I'll hold. Thank you.
NICK: Now, I tag you for a baseball fan
more than basketball am I right?
I knew it.
And I knew you'd show up here today.
Sooner or later, anyway.
You know, I have this funny ability to read you guys.
"Us guys"?
Now, you, for instance, are some serious stubborn, but curious.
Probably worked real well for you in the war, but on the outside...
You aren't going to talk about the war.
Are you one of those guys who still can't talk about it?
I can talk about it just fine.
I'm just not gonna talk about it with you.
Did you ever try these free weights?
Some friends of mine were dying over there
when you were playing high school basketball,
or celebrating the fact you had a high lottery number.
You know, I really think you're gonna get to whatever's bugging you
with these free weights faster than on that bicycle.
Stubborn.
But curious.
You're right.
I didn't get to Vietnam until it was over.
You know, the Chinese believe we lock unpleasant memories in various muscles.
What is it?
Come on, you saw something.
Yeah. I'm real close.
Hey, Thomas, I've been looking all over for you.
Father Timothy here said you might be over here.
I thought we were gonna watch old movies.
I picked up Stalag 17, A Thousand Clowns...
What were you doing in Vietnam?
I was at the Club Med.
Actually, I was in the Merchant Marine.
I wouldn't mind seeing Stalag 17 again myself.
Unfortunately, I have a noon service in the chapel,
which I wanted to make sure you knew about.
RICK: Yeah, well, we might be a little tied up, Father.
The Magnificent Seven. So, what do you think?
There were three men in the warehouse.
Thomas, you're not gonna start on that again.
On what?
Thomas has this idea that when he was unconscious
that he was floating around, and he was talking to all of us.
That's a very interesting theory.
Well, that's just what it is, Father.
Oh, I don't know.
What did you see?
Three men in the warehouse.
Two of them went over the cliff. That leaves a third man.
No, it doesn't. There was another body in the warehouse.
Lieutenant Tanaka said you must have shot him.
You are close.
There's something I missed.
All right, Thomas, I'm gonna tell you something for your own good.
We all agreed not to tell you, because we figured you couldn't handle it,
but I'm gonna tell you anyway,
just so you can take all of this business and put it behind you, where it belongs.
- Michelle... - I know.
She was here.
RICK: What?
Your cousin, Michelle. Yeah, I know all about it.
You know she was here?
I saw her.
Thomas.
After the shooting,
in the car when the guys went over the cliff
I was with her.
But if the third guy was killed in the warehouse...
RICK: Which he was.
Well, that means...
That means that she's out of danger, my cousin.
No.
It means there's a fourth man still out there.
RICK: Thomas, if you know where she is, then why don't you warn her?
Thomas!
I don't know where she is.
I knew she was here, but I don't know where she went.
Why should I know that? She's your cousin.
Hey, wait.
I'm sorry I brought Michelle up in front of them.
Your Uncle Rudy still work in the Merchant Marine?
- Yeah. - Well, call him and ask him
if Nick Patrelli ever went to the Orient on one of their ships.
Come on, Thomas, I admit that I didn't I like the guy when I first met him either,
but you're chasing your own ghost.
I happened to have an interesting conversation with a nice lady
in personnel this morning.
It seems Nick Patrelli just happened to volunteer his services here
the day after I was admitted.
So that makes him a mastermind in a plot to kill you and Michelle?
It makes him the most likely candidate I've got.
See what you can find out for me, will you?
Please?
RICK: I'm telling you, you've been avoiding this whole situation
ever since Thomas entered the VA Hospital.
Hey, what do you want me to do?
You think you're gonna personally change anything
by hanging around him 24 hours a day?
I can try. That's a hell of a lot more than you're willing to do.
- Rick... - I come to you for a little help,
but suddenly you got charters to Maui, you're going to the Big Island...
Hey! What's gonna happen if I'm gone?
I mean, I've just gotten to know my kids again.
I mean, who's gonna take care of them if I'm not around?
I gotta make sure they're gonna be okay before...
- Before... - Look, T.C.
we're all gonna die someday.
I mean, I've been thinking about it a lot, too,
ever since this happened to Thomas.
But you don't have to think about it every day of your life.
Right now, Thomas is the one who needs our help.
All right. Forget it!
[SIGHS]
MAGGIE: The three guys who were after you
were pros with no particular political leanings.
So there's no motive.
There's no reason.
There's got to be a reason.
Maggie?
I'm sorry, Thomas.
It's just that I...
Well, I mean I can't believe that we're actually sitting here talking.
- I almost gave you up for... - Me, too.
Anyway, whoever hired these guys
obviously knew that Michelle was on her way here.
Now, we haven't been able to determine through Navy sources
who that might have been, but I have a friend over at CIA...
- Ron. - Ron.
How do you know about Ron?
Well, I...
You must have told me.
Well, he's doing everything he can to try and find an ID for us.
- I gave him the number here. - How was dinner?
Oh, it was pretty terrible.
Lucky guess.
[PHONE RINGING]
Commander Poole.
Oh, hi, Rick. Yes, he's right here.
Rick, what do you got?
The Merchant Marine never heard of Nick Patrelli.
Neither did the CIA.
- Ron... - Right again, Magpie.
Yeah, thanks, Rick. Goodbye.
MAGGIE: Ron Templeton, Thomas Magnum.
His name is Quang Ki.
Colonel Ki's brother?
Thomas!
Traitor!
[SCREAMING]
No. There's something else.
MAGGIE: Thomas.
Thomas?
MAGGIE: He's trying to avenge his brother's death.
NICK: I haven't seen him since this morning.
It's funny you should be looking for him too, though.
Why are you looking for him?
One of the guys wanted to talk to him.
Said he didn't show up for noon service.
- I called the rectory. They said... - They never heard of him.
Right.
Why'd you lie about being in the Merchant Marine?
What is this?
You checked up on me?
I'm just wondering what you haven't told us about Father Timothy.
He said he had some business to take care of.
That he'd be back in time for noon service.
He wasn't. That's all I know about the good priest.
Excuse me. I got work to do.
Thomas, you can't go after Quang Ki.
You don't understand, Maggie. I killed his brother.
As long as he's alive, he won't stop at anything.
I understand that!
You think he's gonna avenge his brother's death by killing Michelle?
He thought he had her.
Once Michelle was on the way to Hawaii, he knew he could kill me.
He just hadn't counted on Michelle getting away.
Or on you.
Hey, you're a professional. I appreciate that.
- Ron... - Let me handle this, Magpie.
Let's face it. You've been out of the field a while.
You should leave it to younger guys to find Quang.
Where did this come from?
MAGGIE: I don't know. Rick? T.C.? Your mom?
You didn't bring it?
Thomas.
This is just what I was telling you.
First you think that the physical therapy coach is out to get you,
and now you think there's something sinister about the photograph.
Ron, he didn't make all this up.
All right, let's not even look at the fact
that your body's just been through a tremendous trauma.
Suppose you were in the peak of health.
You have an emotional investment here that could get in your way.
I don't think that's any of your business.
Thomas, I know you want to help Michelle,
but maybe the best way to do that right now is to just stay out of it.
Just give me 24 hours.
Okay.
Really, Thomas.
KATHERINE: Now you listen to me, Frank Peterson.
I know you're having problems with these asthma attacks,
but my son is in real trouble,
and I'm not leaving till I know he's okay.
And you'll do just fine without me till I get there.
And I love you, too. All right.
I can't find T.C. anywhere.
Perhaps it's just as well he's busy.
There's nothing he can do.
Lieutenant Commander Poole has assured me they'll find Quang Ki.
And you believe that?
Me either.
What'll we do?
HIGGINS: Well, it started in Little Saigon.
MAGNUM: Michelle!
Thomas!
NICK: Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
What do you want, Patrelli?
I wanted to tell you that you're wrong.
I never played basketball in high school,
and I never celebrated over my lottery number.
Forget it.
Really.
Oh. Merchant Marine.
It usually gives me a little credibility with the guys I work with.
- I never saw any harm in it. - What did you say he said to you?
- [PHONE RINGING] - Father Timothy?
He said he had some... What was it?
Unfinished business to take care of.
If he wanted me here, he'd leave me an invitation.
I beg your pardon?
Are you gonna get that?
Sorry, Maggie.
Yep?
Nope.
He just left.
Left? Left for where?
[GUN FIRES]
Thomas!
[GRUNTING]
[SHOUTING]
MAN: Thomas!
There's another way, man.
I love you, Michelle.
More than anyone I've ever known.
And I'm letting you go.
Well, see you in another 40 or 50 years.
[GRUNTS]
[EXHALES]
