Paradise City

Hey, let me out.

Open up!

Hey, open up!

This is Ryan. Leave a message.

Little Swann, it's me.

We haven't talked much in a while.

Wanna give you some advice.

You wanna be in this fucked up business,

you need a partner to watch your back.

Yeah, I had a guy once, Robbie Cole.

Wish I trusted him, it's a little late for that now.

You are a good kid.

Yeah, I love you, son.

I gotta go.

Put down your weapon!

Now!

The 1873 Supreme Court ruled when bail is reached,

the bail bondsmen can exercise the rights of the court.

My name is Ian Swann. This man is my prisoner.

Hold your fire!

Thanks.

Here you go.

Wow, beautiful. Thank you.

Hi, Robbie. What are you doing here?

Hey, Nikki. Have a seat.

Just working.

On your bar tab?

That too.

I got a jumper on an auto theft rap.

Supposed to be on the beach today.

Well, if you're looking for Koa Kahale

you're not gonna find him here.

Well, you know him?

I know his family.

His mom works at the club.

You know where he is today?

Well, I might.

But I want something in return.

Oh yeah, what do you have in mind?

Six bullets.

What?

Koa's a good kid.

Getting busted might just be the wake up call he needs

but I don't wanna see him get hurt.

Look, I'm a pro, Nikki. I've never lost a client yet.

The bullets, Robbie.

You serious, huh?

Alright. Here you go. You happy now?

He's trained to fight MMA today.

They're set up down the beach by the banyan trees.

MMA fighter, huh?

This should be interesting.

You can have these back later tonight.

Drink's on me.

That sounds good, but if I have a problem,

unarmed, that's on you too.

It's another beautiful day in paradise.

It's WB Radio Maui.

Morning news local businessman Thomas Kane in today's...

just reminding you all to get out there and vote.

Nobody near the cages unless they want to get their ass beat.

Now, where's your Aloha spirit, bro?

I'm just here to deliver a little something to uh...

Koa Kahale.

Yeah, that's him.

No, no, no. Not now, not today, man.

I know this guy. He's not even a real cop.

Manu. You still collecting outstanding warrants?

Those ain't lotto tickets, buddy.

We're protected.

Take one more step and see what happens.

Well, here I am. And here's my protection.

Your fighter is now under my legal jurisdiction. Period.

How bad do you want him?

Me? Not that bad.

But Maui PD, they want the idiot who uh, skipped bail

before joy-riding in their cruiser.

My mom's got heart problems.

I had to get her to the hospital

and that cop car was just sitting there.

I was like, what's the big difference

between an ambulance and a cop car?

That is so incredibly dumb.

I actually believe it's true.

Come on. There's a UFC scout coming, man. This is my day.

Look, you're either gonna come with me now

or I'm gonna call it in.

But Maui PD ain't gonna let you leave this beach

without tearing your ACL, that's for sure.

Maybe, just maybe, you let the kid fight today.

Then after, he comes in without a fuss.

Think you can do that?

Maybe.

One question. You gonna win in the second?

Get it on.

Let's hear it for our beautiful ring girl.

Round Two. Fighters in position.

Hey.

Put another 20 on Koa.

And let's fight!

Hit him, hit him.

Koa is dancing.

The less experienced fighter feeling the veteran out.

Come on, Koa!

This is the kid I told you about.

Will be good to have on our crew.

Kahale's in trouble.

Let's go! Finish him.

Goddammit, finish him!

Whoa. There it is.

Kahale has broken in a choke hold.

Koa has taken out.

The match goes to Koa Kahale! Let's hear it for Koa.

Nice, Koa.

Beautiful.

I'm so proud.

It's all for you, ma.

- Time to go, Koa. - Police!

Koa Kahale! Hands where I can see them.

Easy, honey. He's my collar.

Don't call me honey, Robbie.

Savannah, you know the drill. Alright?

You can't arrest him if he's already in my custody.

Then why isn't he in cuffs?

I got this under control.

Yeah, I'm with him!

This is bullshit, Robbie!

You give your profession a bad name.

Says the cop pointing a gun at an unarmed perp.

You got a warrant? Show it or get the fuck out of my ring.

If this is your ring,

then you're harboring an escaped felon.

I can pull your license

and shut down this little shit show for good.

Guys, take it down... Look, you spooked him!

Don't even blame me!

Hey! Hey! Stop!

Hey!

Hey, relax. Hey, relax!

One move and I'll light you up like New Year's Eve.

Hey!

I saw you in pursuit. Looked like you needed a hand.

Oh yeah? No, I had him. Thanks.

I'm the arresting officer.

You're Robbie Cole, right? You knew my dad.

Who is this?

You're Ian Swann's son?

Alright, Bernie, Koa Kahale was my bounty.

Tell the paymaster to have my check ready.

Your commission is a standard 10% of bail.

That's 100 bucks, man.

What? 10% of 10,000 is a grand, buddy.

There was a typo. His bail is actually a $1,000.

I mean, the kid is not exactly El Chapo.

Happy now?

No. Barely covered my bar tab.

Ryan, meet Savannah Tui, homicide detective.

Don't get fooled by her pretty face.

She's a real pit-bull.

I love you too, Robbie.

So, you're Ian Swann's son? I'm sorry for your loss.

I've been on the case from the start.

Then you must have some idea who did it.

Look, Ryan, your dad and I used to work together.

He made a lot of enemies on this island.

Yeah. He had that effect on people, so?

If anything, what we've got is too many suspects.

Yeah, well gimme a list, I'll run 'em down.

You're not a cop.

Yeah, I'm better than a cop. Fewer rules.

Oh, shit. Another bounty hunter?

This island's way too small for another ass-kicking cowboy.

Yeah. Well, if that's what you thought of my dad,

then you've got him all wrong,

which means you'll never solve shit.

Hey.

Savannah's the last cop on this island

that actually gives a damn.

You're gonna want her on your side.

Give us a little time, Ryan.

Why don't you take a couple of days off

and enjoy our beaches, okay?

What did dad do to get himself...

Hey, you got daddy issues? Don't talk about him here.

I know a good, quiet place. Hannah's bar.

You're a smart kid, you'll find it.

Meet me there at four.

Go ahead.

Oh, jeez.

I know. Sharks.

That... that isn't much of a body.

It's... it's just...

The body wasn't recovered for at least 24 hours.

The DNA was a match to his Chicago PD records.

They recovered a few things from his car,

including his ID. It's over there.

Yeah. Yeah, that's uh...

that's him.

So, he left you a message same day he got killed?

He must have known he wasn't gonna make it.
