Magnum P.I.

And I want a bike, an electric keyboard,

walkie-talkies, a smartwatch,

a basketball hoop and a PS5.

Mm.

You want to write this down?

Eh, it's all up here. We'll see what we can do.

Ain't that right, Twinkles?

Just might need a bigger sleigh.

Okay, should we take this photo

so the other children have some time with Santa?

How about you let me finish?

Careful. That's how you end up on the Naughty List.

Please. There's no such thing.

Great.

Okay, "Christmas tree" on three, right?

One, two, three.

- Christmas tree. - Christmas tree.

Great! Off you pop.

There you go.

Lovely kid you got there.

Okay, everybody,

sorry, but Santa needs a ten-minute cookie break.

You know how hangry he gets.

We'll be back in a jiff.

Oh, man.

They don't make kids

- like they used to. - Mm-hmm.

Plus, I think this... this beard's getting me a rash.

I'm sorry.

The pawnshop is in a blind spot on the mall security cameras,

so going incognito is the only way we can keep an eye on it

without drawing suspicion.

Well, I hope your ridiculous plan works,

because I've been sitting here for hours

and no sign of our guy yet.

He's a bail jumper, right?

So punctuality isn't exactly his forte.

The texts that I hacked were perfectly clear...

He was gonna be here by 10:00.

So it's nearly 10:00, so...

Well, whatever contraband he's buying,

it was worth it to skip court for,

so you would think the guy would show up.

Ah, speak of the devil.

Okay, I'll approach. You cover.

Hey, Barry.

They missed you in court today.

You're here to take me in?

Yeah, yeah. 'Fraid so.

Okay.

Well, you got me.

Excuse me... I'm so sorry, man.

I'm so sorry. Merry Christmas.

I'm so sorry.

I told you.

Naughty List.

Okay, Kumu, give it to me straight.

How bad is it?

Well, on the bright side,

Um, there's less to decorate.

Well, what'd you expect? It's Christmas Eve.

I didn't exactly have the pick of the litter.

Damn, Charlie Brown.

Is that the only tree you could find?

And a Merry Christmas to you, sir.

Oh, I'm just kidding, man.

Place looks great.

And we come bearing gifts.

- Yes. - And groceries.

- Oh. - Ooh!

Were you able to find the banana leaves okay?

Yeah, at store number three. But it's the least we could do

with you making dinner for the whole crew.

Hey, I was telling TC

that kalua pork's my favorite.

Oh, well, then you're in for a treat.

Assuming I can actually, uh,

start cooking anytime soon.

Wait. You ain't dig the firepit yet?

I've been trimming this tree, man.

You know...

I'm just gonna say it.

Let's order pizza.

- Or save some of the digging for Thomas. - True that.

Hey, man.

Can I ask how you're doing?

You can ask. I'm not sure I can answer.

Look, we lost a lot of people before.

What happened to Robbie,

now, that's just... different.

Yeah. I miss him. Every day.

And I'm sad that he's gone, but, uh...

I'm just grateful to be surrounded by family right now.

You know we're here for you, right?

Yeah, and I'm happy you brought this kid along, too.

You come to help?

Uh... no.

Ms. Tuileta just wanted me to bring you some lemonade.

- Take that. - Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

And, uh, and to tell you that if the imu isn't ready soon,

there'll be no pig tonight.

Roger that.

Loud and clear.

So, you guys do this every year?

The decorations? The pig roast?

The secret Santa?

Well, there is one tradition

we should probably warn you about.

Oh, nah, he's just a kid.

Yeah, but it's a rite of passage.

I don't know if he needs to suffer through that.

What is it?

I call it a Higgy pudding.

This year, I decided to make a few extra

- and hand them out to people. - Right. And it's...

- black licorice and... - Basil.

It's an unusual flavor profile, but, you know,

no risk, no reward.

And it always goes down really well, doesn't it, Magnum?

Yeah, they are always... memorable.

Gordie!

Whatever this is, I don't have time for it.

Gordon, what about your holiday spirit?

This is my holiday spirit. Take it in.

The most wonderful time of the year.

The crime rate spikes,

and half the force is off duty.

Wow, you really do have your hands full.

Yet, somehow, I sense you're about to ask me for a favor.

Good instincts.

This is our skip, Barry.

I'd shake your hand, but...

Oahu Correctional is full,

so we were hoping maybe you could process and hold him?

Give me a minute, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, Gordie.

All right, come on, Barry. This way.

What are you still doing here?

Thought you were gonna cook dinner for your mom.

Gordon asked for backup, and I could use the overtime.

Suddenly Christmas dinner

is looking a lot like Chinese takeout.

No, no, you don't have to do that.

Have dinner with us at La Mariana.

You want to do the whole "meet the family" thing

on Christmas Eve?

Why not?

Is it weird?

Uh, no.

I mean...

it's a big step, but we've been dating

for a little while.

Come on, it'll be casual and fun.

There'll be tons of food.

Plus, I can get to meet your mom.

And I promise I will change out of the Santa suit.

It actually sounds kind of nice.

Can I let you know?

Yeah, sure. Just, uh, think about it.

I will.

I got to deal with some things.

Talk later?

Mm-hmm.

That was hard to watch.

It was... kind of a brush-off.

It wasn't a brush-off. She said she's considering it.

Nope. That was definitely a brush-off.

Barry, keep your mouth shut.

Yeah, he's right. Mind your business, Barry.

It was you two that wanted to hang out with me, remember?

Hey, can we get I.T. in here?

- Something's up with the network. - Hey. I got a guy

in interrogation about to turn state's witness,

and I can't access our system.

Can anyone pull case files?

No, I'm locked out.

Me, too.

Whoa.

What the hell's going on?

It's a ransomware attack.

$5 million in Bitcoin?

In four hours, or they're gonna delete all your files.

Including all electronic evidence.

Which means we can kiss every active investigation goodbye.

What'd the lieutenant say?

Sit tight, wait for tech support.

That's the plan?

That's the protocol. No way we get access

to $5 million in crypto that fast.

And even if we could, doesn't mean we should.

Yeah, if you do, you could incentivize further attacks.

But if you don't...

Your whole caseload's in jeopardy.

Hundreds of man-hours wasted,

and maybe dozens of people back on the streets.

Deadline's in four hours,

and this hack could be coming from anywhere.

Higgins, this is right in your wheelhouse.

Is there anything you can do?
