Magnum P.I. (TV Series)

Remember Me Tomorrow (2022)

Niall Matter: Cole Vaughn

Quotes 

• Juliet Higgins : I'm truly sorry for this morning. I assure you that I don't normally let children ride shotgun on triple-homicide investigations.

  Cole Vaughn : What do you want?

  Juliet Higgins : Well, for the first time in years, there's been a break in the case.

  Cole Vaughn : I don't believe this.

  Juliet Higgins : Look, I promise, I-I won't keep Ella involved, but if I could just take a look at your wife's early work with fresh eyes...

  Cole Vaughn : No. When my wife was diagnosed with cancer, we were told she had a year to live. One year. We didn't even get that. Why? This case. She was obsessed with it 'til the bitter end. This case stole my wife from me. I'm not about to lose Ella down that same rabbit hole.

  Juliet Higgins : With all due respect, have you asked your daughter why this means so much to her?

  [he shakes his head] 

  Juliet Higgins : I think if you did, you'd find that she's not just looking for answers. She wants to make amends, to get closure, and not just for herself. Adam Akamu lost his whole family five years ago. And to this day, no one's told him why. Please.

  [he moves aside to let her in] 

  Juliet Higgins : Thank you.

• Detective Gordon Katsumoto : I spoke to the P.A. She plans to go for the max.

  Juliet Higgins : Which means, thanks to you, Ella, Clara is going away for a really long time.

  Cole Vaughn : Well, we appreciate the house call. We know you've had a long day.

  Ella Vaughn : So, how much do I owe you, Juliet?

  Juliet Higgins : [short laugh]  Uh, well, Ella, you saved my life today, so I reckon we're square. Thank you.

  Cole Vaughn : Your mom would've been so proud of you today. I know I am.

  Ella Vaughn : [his hug goes on longer than desired]  Okay, now you're just embarrassing me.

• Cole Vaughn : Thank you, again. Both of you.

  Detective Gordon Katsumoto : We're just doing our jobs.

  Cole Vaughn : Oh, not just for solving the case but for looking out for us. Until today, I didn't realize how much anger I was still carrying. That's not the kind of man or father my wife would've wanted me to be.

  Juliet Higgins : Hmm. Well, I didn't know Phoebe, but... I'm certain this case never meant more to her than you and Ella. If she was... anything like me, it would've just been easier to solve the Akamu case than... than to find a way to say goodbye.

• Cole Vaughn : What the hell do you think you're doing?

  Ella Vaughn : Dad, hear me out.

  Cole Vaughn : No. Your school called when you didn't show up.

  Ella Vaughn : W-Wait, Ella. If this is your father, then who did I speak to on the phone earlier?

  Ella Vaughn : I may have paid a guy 20 bucks to answer the phone and do some improv.

• Ella Vaughn : So, what are we looking for?

  Juliet Higgins : So, Adam Akamu said that early on, HPD were investigating a rumor that his mum was having an affair. They moved off it as a motive once robbery became a theory, but now that we know the robbery was staged...

  Ella Vaughn : You think we oughta check it out.

  Juliet Higgins : I do. I mean, if Mrs. Akamu had an angry boyfriend, that could be our killer. I just... I can't find any mention of it in your mum's notes yet.

  Ella Vaughn : That's 'cause we're looking in the wrong place. Older stuff is in the closet, back shelf.

  [opening the closet] 

  Ella Vaughn : Hey, Dad, can you help? It's that one.

  Cole Vaughn : [taking a box off a shelf and setting it down]  Okay. What are we hoping to find?

  Juliet Higgins : Uh, statements. Anyone claiming to have firsthand knowledge of the affair.

  Ella Vaughn : How about gossip?

  Juliet Higgins : Hmm?

  [taking papers from her] 

  Juliet Higgins : This woman says she heard of the affair from Clara, who claims to have seen the couple in the flesh.

  Ella Vaughn : But didn't we already talk to her?

  Juliet Higgins : Yeah, we did. She might be the only person to have ever seen our killer. Time I paid her another visit.

• Ella Vaughn : How's it going?

  Juliet Higgins : I haven't found what I need just yet, but I'm not giving up.

  Ella Vaughn : Dad said I could help.

  Juliet Higgins : Mm, forgive me, but I'm gonna have to hear that from him this time.

  Cole Vaughn : It's okay. We talked, and... well, I think I get why she needs to see this through.
