Thomas Magnum : It says here that HPD never found Libby's phone. That's kind of odd. Can you maybe...?
Juliett Higgins : Yeah, I already tried pinging it. The last signal it emitted was from inside their apartment on the day she died.
Thomas Magnum : Must've broke when Josh threw it. Maybe it's still in the apartment. Oh, uh, Josh told me about this creepy guy that worked at the bank that Libby was at.
Juliett Higgins : Yeah, it's in the file. A "creepy stalker" was the term he used.
Thomas Magnum : But no name?
Juliett Higgins : No, there's no other mention of him other than in Josh's police interview. They never followed up or questioned him.
Thomas Magnum : Why not?
Juliett Higgins : Well, no need. They already had a solid case against Josh.
Thomas Magnum : Well, got to start somewhere. I guess I'll go check out the bank.
[standing to leave]
Thomas Magnum : I know you want to ask to come along. Well, we're running out of time. Two heads is better than one. Come on.
Juliett Higgins : Or one and a half.
Thomas Magnum : Very funny.
Juliett Higgins : I thought so.
-
Juliett Higgins : Your self-congratulatory demeanor is repugnant, Magnum. You lied under oath to be dismissed.
Thomas Magnum : Not exactly. I wouldn't have made a good juror. That wasn't a lie.
Juliett Higgins : Has anyone ever explained karma to you?
Thomas Magnum : Yeah, I'm not worried.
-
Thomas Magnum : My name is Thomas Magnum. I reside at the estate of Robin Masters, where I'm in charge of security, which means I am... uh, basically a-a peer of the... well, kind of pretty close to the HPD.
Orville 'Rick' Wright : [poking him with a foam finger] No! Not specific enough.
Thomas Magnum : What do you mean?
Orville 'Rick' Wright : I mean, you've got to name-check Katsumoto. All right? He is your ace in the hole and your best friend.
Thomas Magnum : Yeah, I don't think we're quite there yet.
Orville 'Rick' Wright : Do you want my help or not?
-
Theodore 'TC' Calvin : What the hell are y'all doing?
Orville 'Rick' Wright : Well, I'm-I'm prepping Thomas to get him out of jury duty, but it's not going very well. You know, maybe I should go in your place. If you recall, I did a pretty good impersonation of you not long ago.
Thomas Magnum : Oh, that time you broke up a wedding, lost the venue, and almost got me sued? No, thanks.
-
Thomas Magnum : [narrating] I'm gonna call my best friend and see what HPD knows that isn't in the file.
[Magnum calls Katsumoto. Katsumoto answers the phone, immediately recognizing who is the caller]
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : [sourly] Whatever you want, my answer's no.
Thomas Magnum : But a life is on the line.
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : Detective Dole already investigated Libby Conner's murder.
Thomas Magnum : How did you know...
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : He painstakingly collected evidence and brought it to the P.A., who decided to prosecute Josh Healy because the case was solid.
Thomas Magnum : Yeah, but there was another suspect who was never interviewed.
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : Police work 101: you follow leads. When one pans out, you don't then follow the other hundred. That would waste time and resources.
Thomas Magnum : What if Josh is innocent?
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : I'm certain you'll prove it.
Thomas Magnum : Really?
-
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : Leo Cho. Worked for the Company.
Thomas Magnum : The Hawaiian Syndicate? Thought they were done decades ago.
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : They were. 'Till they thought it was safe to re-engage. Now they hide behind clean businesses. You made some pretty bad enemies, Magnum.
Juliett Higgins : Actually, uh, I was responsible for this body.
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : This body? Is there another I should be aware of?
Thomas Magnum : Well, funny you should ask. Rudy Wong is no longer with us.
[indicating the body]
Thomas Magnum : But that's all him.
-
Brianna Healy : Do you think there's time for you to find anything?
Thomas Magnum : If there's something to find, I'm gonna find it.
Brianna Healy : You know, um, all these years, I've been both mother and father to Josh. But his-his drinking just really got in the way. And I'm wondering maybe if I had done more...
Thomas Magnum : You know none of this is your fault.
Brianna Healy : You don't know that.
Thomas Magnum : You know, when I was... when I was six, I lost my father, and I miss him every day. I turned out pretty good. And most of the credit goes to my mom. She was... she was enough. My bet is you are, too.
Brianna Healy : That's why you took this case, isn't it? I thought it was 'cause you felt guilty about getting out of jury duty.
Thomas Magnum : No, I took this case because you needed help.
-
Thomas Magnum : Where the hell were you?
Juliett Higgins : Tone.
Thomas Magnum : I'm sorry. I was worried about you.
Juliett Higgins : Well, that sounded almost genuine. I was out front with Kumu. What's wrong?
Thomas Magnum : I was just threatened at a gas station to back off the investigation.
Juliett Higgins : By who?
Thomas Magnum : I don't know. It was an Asian guy, he was well-dressed, drove a black Mercedes G-Wagen with tinted windows and no plates.
Juliett Higgins : Okay, I'll see if I can find any security footage. The station on Liliha?
Thomas Magnum : How'd you know that?
Juliett Higgins : They sell the cheapest petrol, and you pay with coins you find under the floor mat.
-
Thomas Magnum : I need your help.
Juliett Higgins : What number is this? Where are you?
Thomas Magnum : I am in jail.
Juliett Higgins : Why?
Thomas Magnum : I tried to get a delay on the trial, judge held me in contempt.
Juliett Higgins : I know the feeling.
-
Thomas Magnum : Honestly, I can't thank you enough.
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : Turns out, Higgins can be even more annoying than you.
Thomas Magnum : [laughing] Right?
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : Now I have to take the judge to dinner. She's a... complicated woman.
Thomas Magnum : Wait. Hold on, you and Judge Kamaka dated?
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : Contrary to what you tried to sell in court this morning - perjury, by the way - we are not best friends. My personal life is none of your business.
Thomas Magnum : When did it end? Or-or did it end? I don't know.
Detective Gordon Katsumoto : I was wrong. You and Higgins are equally annoying.
Thomas Magnum : Yeah, well, I've been called worse.
-
Juliett Higgins : How was your stay in the big house?
Thomas Magnum : Thanks for getting me out.
Juliett Higgins : Josh's future depends on it.
Thomas Magnum : Yeah, but also because you didn't want me locked up in jail, right?
[Higgins just stares]
