Magnum P.I.

Come on, Higgins, pick up.

Come on, pick up the damn phone.

Where is she?

Had enough?

I can do this all day.

Hey, is this really necessary?!

Sorry, Magnum, didn't see you there.

What're you hollering about?

What is with the blower?

Manny's on paternity leave.

And I've got a lot on my mind.

So thought I'd kill two birds with one stone--

do some gardening and clear my head.

Hmm, at a thousand decibels?

It's really rather meditative.

What happened to the therapy sessions?

Well...

Dr. Ogawa kind of...

gave me a little more advice than I was bargaining for.

Oh, yeah?

What'd she say?

Okay, fine, don't talk about it.

But if you're looking

for a little advice, mine is free.

Worth every penny, no doubt.

You know what, there really is no shame

in asking for help every now and again, Higgins.

You know what, if you want to help me,

you could trim those hedges.

I would love to, to be honest.

But we have a client in 30 minutes.

Well, that's plenty of time, so chop-chop.

Or rather snip-snip, Magnum.

I mean, I really can't be doing everything around here.

Manny is away, I need everyone to pitch in.

All right? Thank you.

Of course, if you want something

done right, you got to do it yourself. Well...

Magnum! What was that?

Utterly useless!

Can't hear you.

Where is he?

He's in the back.

I didn't have the heart to wake the kid up.

Do me a favor, can you clarify

that this is a bar and not a B&B?

Look, I'm sorry about that, man.

When I hired Cade,

he said he needed money, not room and board.

I know, but him sleeping on the floor of the bar, that's

a health code violation. I just need you to explain to

him that this was a one-time thing.

I will. And it was.

Good. Here.

Spam, egg, and cheese in case the kid's hungry.

Thanks, man.

Oh, you're up.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be here.

No. But since you are,

I think we should talk.

It's okay, I'll be out of your hair in a minute.

I don't, I don't need a lecture right now.

Whoa. No lecture.

Just breakfast.

Nah, I got plans. Thanks though.

Come on, man.

Rick finds you sleeping by the walk-in,

you really gonna pretend like you got someplace else

to be?

Come on, tell me what's going on.

Is there a problem at home?

Is there a home?

Look, man...

'Cause if you or your mom are in trouble,

there are people I can call.

Just drop it! Okay?

I'm not your problem.

Or your charity case.

You stay out of my life, and I'll stay out of yours.

How can we help you, Aiden?

Well, my fiancée Serena's acting...

a bit strange.

Strange, how?

It's hard to explain.

She's... just not herself.

She's tense, stressed.

Last week, she got an odd phone call,

and she then lied about where she went.

Do you suspect infidelity?

No. Serena would never do that.

Have you asked her directly?

She says that I'm letting my...

family's paranoia get the best of me.

And they aren't keen on this wedding.

No, not exactly.

This is my second marriage.

My first wife, Rebecca, died

last year.

And my family thinks that I'm...

rushing into this and that Serena's just after my money.

And I know that that might be

how it looks.

But it doesn't feel that way.

Love and grief can coexist.

And neither one of them happens on anyone else's schedule.

Exactly.

When Rebecca died, Serena was my...

saving grace; she gave me a new lease on life.

So...

no... I don't want to wait.

'Cause when you know, you know, right?

So the wedding is still on?

Yes.

Unless you give me a reason not to

within the next 24 hours,

I'm getting married tomorrow.

How's the family holding up?

They're doing better.

Dennis left the hospital this morning.

And Beth will be out of the cast in a few weeks.

Could've been a lot worse.

I'm glad everybody's okay.

Unfortunately, that's where the good news ends.

I looked into Cade Jensen for you.

And? No address for him.

Outstanding warrant for her-- child neglect and abandonment.

She left him?

When?

Three years ago. They were living in her car.

She put him on a school bus one morning, skipped town

before he got back.

Cops found him that night at the bus stop.

Alone, in the dark, still waiting for her to show up.

Damn.

The way he talked about her,

she sounded like mom of the year.

It's wishful thinking, I'm afraid.

I need to find him.

TC, look, I know you want to help.

I'm not trying to be a hero here.

It's just...

he took off without... without his paycheck.

And he made it perfectly clear that he's not coming back.

He earned it.

He needs it-- I just want him to have it is all.

All right, start by calling local shelters.

I will get you a list.

Thanks, Gordie.

Oh, she's turning.

What is the opposite

of "time flies when you're having fun"?

Hmm, the case and I boring you?

Well, Serena's done nothing but wedding errands all day.

We've just been cruising around burning petrol.

Yeah, but isn't it... meditative?

It's mind-numbing.

The tailor, the caterer, the florist.

Yeah, a lot goes into planning a wedding.

It may come as a surprise to you since

you didn't really pull your weight when we planned ours.

That hardly counted.

Okay, one, you should be so lucky.

And two, the way things are going with you and Ethan,

you might be walking that plank real soon,

so I would take notes if I were you.

Yeah, well...

I wouldn't dust your tux off just yet.

Look, why don't we

just call it a day and head back to Robin's Nest?

I mean, Serena's background check was clean.

I didn't find any criminal record, no dubious financials,

no suspicious texts, but it's possible

that I missed something.

Or there's nothing to find.

These two get married and live happily ever after.

Oh, please, Magnum, this wedding is a rush job.

And the groom, whether or not he wants to admit it,

has some rightfully cold feet.

Not everyone gets a happy ending.

Oh.

Case in point.

Seedy motel.

Overnight bag.

Ah!

And who's the mystery man?

Well, I hate to say I told you so.

Nah, something's not right.

Look, at the body language-- it's kind of cold.

I don't know, if you ask me, they're not having an affair.

Well, if you would like some more explicit proof,

you are welcome to take the photos yourself.
