Magnum P.I.

Previously on "Magnum P.I..."

You're clear on our arrangement?

MI6 gets to call on me as necessary.

And you can't speak of this to anyone,

- including Mr. Magnum. - But I don't know how long

I'm gonna be able to keep it from him.

He is a detective after all, and a very good one.

You don't have to worry about Robbie. We go way back.

The last time you helped somebody,

you put the rest of us in danger.

You know what? You're so afraid of getting burned,

why don't you stay the hell out of it, huh?

- Who the hell are you? - FBI.

Special Agent Ray Sloane.

Your friend Robbie recently murdered somebody back in Chicago.

You're gonna help us take him down.

You're up early!

Yeah, I was trying to catch you.

Haven't seen you in a couple days.

Well... you know,

you missed me, you could've sent a text.

Is it that easy?

TC says you've been avoiding him, too.

What's going on?

Nothing I can't handle on my own.

Come on, man. It's me.

This fed came to see me the other night.

Special Agent Ray Sloane.

He's investigating Robbie for a murder.

Wants me to wear a wire.

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

Now, Robbie's been in trouble before,

but he's never killed anybody.

Well, if what this guy is saying is true, then I-I get it.

You know? You want to do the right thing,

but you also want to stay loyal to Robbie.

I'll tell you what,

I'll look into it, all right?

I'll see what the feds actually have.

No. It's a hard no.

Do you have a plan?

No, I don't, but I'm not getting you guys involved.

That's why I didn't tell you in the first place.

Come on, man. If you're involved, I'm involved.

The bloodsucking ticks just took and took.

Then when I started slowing down,

they all went M.I.A.

Too damn busy to visit their old man.

Yeah, I-I got lonely by myself,

so I wish I moved here sooner.

Lots of activities here.

No shortage of the ladies, either.

So what brought you here, Teuila?

Oh, funny story, actually.

So, this is Vicki,

our client.

Her father Joseph has been

at Oahu Horizons for six months.

Everything seemed to be going fine,

until recent events had Vicki worried

that he was being mistreated.

What events?

Normally, Vicki and Joseph speak at least once a day,

but for the last week, she hasn't been able

to talk to him or see him.

Also, recently, Joseph's bank account

was drained of his entire life savings, $43,000.

There's a special place in hell for scum

that take advantage of the elderly.

I agree. Anyway, I've started the background checks

on all of the employees at the retirement community...

But if we really want to figure out what's going on,

we're going to need somebody on the inside.

You ask Bookie?

He's the right age.

Um...

Of course I'll do it.

Good to scope out the place

for when I do move in, in 20 years.

But the developer kept coming back and offering more.

I finally had to say yes.

He gave me three times what my home is worth.

You could've held out for more.

Uh, that's it for today, folks.

I have more than I need.

I just, uh, want someone special to share it with.

Like I said, stats aren't in your favor.

But you are very youthful. That's a plus.

You're such an ageist, Ron.

Getting older doesn't mean everything just stops.

I'll have you know, some of my steamiest dalliances

have been on these very premises.

Now, why doesn't that surprise me?

I'm just curious, uh,

that handsome man over there,

anyone know his story?

Uh, I-I don't think Joseph's spoken for,

but, uh, I'd look elsewhere.

He used to be friendly. Now he's different.

Won't make eye contact anymore.

Last few weeks, he's been, uh, withdrawn.

You know why?

The usual.

Depression, new meds?

Or the milk's gone bad.

Once the rot sets in, it can be a pretty rapid decline.

Yeah, I know that sounds cold,

but we all have an expiration date.

On the plus side, if you're old enough

to worry about it, you already dodged a bullet.

Hey.

Hi.

What?

Nothing. Just...

Think you can talk to your boyfriend somewhere else?

How do you even know it's Thomas?

All I said was hi.

No, it's the way you said hi.

If I have to listen to you be all flirty,

I may throw up my burrito.

I-I only have a minute. We're on a case.

No, it's totally fine. I just have a quick favor to ask.

Do you have any FBI contacts on the island?

Um... maybe.

I just need some info on somebody they're looking into.

Would you be able to set up a meeting?

Yeah.

Okay, what's with the one-word answers?

In the spirit of full disclosure,

my contact is an ex-boyfriend.

Is that weird for you?

Uh, no. I don't care. Is it weird for you?

No, we broke up over a year ago.

But you probably shouldn't mention that we're dating, okay?

Okay, I won't. I promise.

Okay. I'll text you the details.

All right. Thanks.

So I've finished the background check on the staff.

All clean records across the board.

No red flags from any past jobs

and no strange financial activity.

Same.

None of the residents seem to have any complaints

about the medical staff, aides or administrators.

Have you learned anything more about Joseph?

Mm, not really.

I've been tailing him, but he keeps to himself.

No one's gone into his bungalow.

My sources do say that he's become withdrawn recently

and that they don't know why.

I'll keep digging.

I looked into Joseph's finances, and that withdrawal

from his account wasn't an online transaction.

Three weeks ago, someone went into a physical bank

and got a cashier's check.

So now you're going to hack into the bank security footage

to try to see who.

Hey,

I've been watching you and Thomas for years.

Oh, I got to go to the rec room.

- It's Joseph's TV time. - Oh, okay,

well, then, I'm gonna get Vicki to call the rec room

and ask to speak to her father.

So I can see who's keeping him

from taking his daughter's calls.

Right.

Hey, glad you're back.

Today, it's all about smothering,

and I'm not talking about the heat or your mother.

I am talking about smothering some food...

Joseph?

Sorry to bother you,

but your daughter's on the phone again.

She really wants to talk to you.

I already told you I don't want to talk to her.

I've got 'em in the oven right now at 37...

So, no one at Oahu Horizons

is keeping Joseph from talking to his daughter.

Nope. He's avoiding her all on his own.

No clue why, though.

Well, I scanned the security footage from the bank

on the day that the withdrawal took place, and I found this.

Whoa. So the person who stole Joseph's life savings...

Was Joseph.

You serious, man?

Yo, if Robbie killed somebody...

No, w-we don't know that for sure yet.

I knew there was something shady about that guy.

Look, I'm gonna reach out to the feds,

see what else I can find out.

I will be in touch.

All right. Thanks, TM.

Oh. Oh, nice.

But you get to practice, like, all the time.

Uh, h-hang on. You forget that I work here.

You know? I'm not a customer.

- All right, all right. - Who's up for cà phê sua dá?

- Yes. - Vietnamese coffee.

Okay, okay.

Yeah, they make it with sweetened condensed milk.
