Magnum P.I.

Ahmed, repeat after me.

What?

Me worry?

There you go!

Oh! Come on!

Oh!

Come on, that's funny in any language, right?

Bro, you okay? Relax, pal.

- It barely touched me, all right? - "Barely"?

I think it says "Wilson" backwards across your forehead.

You know you don't have to use your face to block the ball?

It's not soccer.

- You can use your hands. - Thank you, Thomas.

I don't have to use my fa... I don't have to use my face?!

Thanks for telling me now!

Getting all worked up.

Yeah, you might want to bow out

while you still got your dignity.

'Cause your boy got too much game for you, baby!

All right, come on,

let's see what you got. I'd listen to TC.

He's just trying to help you save face, man.

Or save his face.

Okay, okay.

All right, let's go, boys! Almost ready over here!

Don't worry, this won't take long.

Come on, serve it up, big guy. Come on, let's go.

Boom goes the dynamite!

Oh!

Yo, I think there might be a stepladder

in the barracks if you need it.

Hey, Paulie!

What's going on with the kid's mom?

Yeah, you two make a love connection yet?

I know he doesn't know much English,

but the kid's right here.

Quick answer is: not yet.

What are you waiting for?

Not the right time!

Right time? If you ain't noticed, we in the 'Stan.

The right time is now.

Kid's mother is the love of my life.

Okay? I don't want to rush things.

Guys, leave my brother alone.

You're messing up his flow.

"Flow"? This guy's got game

like a clogged drain. Are you kidding me?

He's a late bloomer. He'll get there.

Let's go, shrimp is ready! We got some filets,

some surf and turf, let's go!

Come on, move it up!

All right, kid, here we go.

Paulie's barbecue is gonna change your life right here.

Look at that thing.

So, you're telling me

this chap actually barbecued food on a diesel engine?

Well, the technical term is "carbecue,"

and let me tell you, Paulie,

he could do anything with a diesel engine.

So, he didn't actually work for the military?

No, he worked in a motor pool.

See, when Nuzo got sent overseas,

Paulie linked up with a civilian contractor

so he could be closer to his brother.

And none of you have heard from him at all since Nuzo's funeral?

Well, not until he called Thomas the other night

to tell him he's coming back to the Island.

Okay, I just have one more question.

So, you're in the middle of the desert.

How on earth did you get hold of fresh shrimp?

I knew a guy.

Of course you did.

Hey, uh, buddy, we're closed, sorry. Oh, I'm, uh,

Gerard Hirsch.

Oh, congratulations.

I'm Rick, but we don't open till 11:00.

Oh, I'm meeting someone here, and I...

Oh, my appointment.

Guys!

Paulie!

Hey!

Oh, man, what's up?

Get over here.

How we doing, man? Paulie, look at you.

How you guys doing, man? All right, you look great.

Been a while, man, been a while.

- Hi. - Oh, I'm sorry.

Paulie, this is our good friend Juliet Higgins.

- Hi, nice to meet you. - Likewise.

So, so, what's going on, Paulie?

You're never gonna believe this.

Ahmed got in touch with me.

- You're kidding. - He's still alive?

Yeah, crazy, right?

Ahmed is the boy you taught to speak English.

Yeah. He grew up in a village next to the base.

What happened to him?

He was kidnapped by the Taliban,

but he managed to escape.

After a few days he was found by a Kuchi family.

And they raised him in the mountains.

Then, a year later, they refused

shelter to the Taliban and they were killed.

But Ahmed escaped.

Crossed the border, and he contacted me.

Since then, I've been making all kinds of moves

to get him on Oahu.

What kind of moves?

Smuggled him out of Pakistan and into India.

From there I got him onto a container ship,

thanks to this guy.

Right, so you're a human trafficker.

O-Oh, no, not me.

I-I did have an art reclamation business for some time.

Ah, an art thief, cool.

He knows how to get people on and off the island.

Art, vehicles, even people.

Paulie, uh, do you really think this is the best way to...?

Look, I know what you're gonna say.

And I appreciate the spirit of my overprotective bro

living through you guys.

This is the only way.

It's impossible to come here as a refugee.

Not that I'm not condoning Paulie's actions,

but he is right about that,

especially in the last few years.

What do you need from us?

For starters, we need to get him off the container ship.

Then we need to get him to the mainland, where I need

Ricky here to hook him up with the proper paperwork.

That's a nice way of saying "fake IDs."

Paulie, I appreciate your good intentions,

but you do realize that you're asking your friends

to help you commit a crime.

Well, actually, several crimes.

But, look, I know I owe you guys a lot.

But I can't do this alone.

Please.

Hey, batter, batter, batter, batter.

All right, kid, let me see that curveball!

Remember, fingers tight next to each other!

Hold on, hang on, hang on.

- Hang on. - Oh, come on,

he's not gonna have any problem with this guy.

- Let's go. - Come on, Paulie!

Here, this should help, okay?

Let me ask a question.

How do you say "You're very pretty"?

Huh?

What, what'd I say?

I look like a goat.

Your son's got a good sense of humor.

Hey, Sea Bass?

Your big bro's got it real bad.

Think so?

- He's striking out more than Magnum. - Come on, Ahmed.

All right, let's go, strike this bum out. Look at him.

Look at him, the bum.

- Aah! - Yeah, Ahmed, give me five, man!

What's up with that, huh?

Kid's headed for the majors.

Hey, Ahmed, you want to play baseball when you grow up?

Yeah, very much.

That's really good news,

'cause the Tigers could use that arm.

Nice heat on you, kid.

All right, strike him out.

Come on. Right down the middle.

Strike him out.

I wasn't ready, all right?

You swing like a rusty gate.

Last time I saw Ahmed, he was half that size.

Yeah, this kid grew up fast, man.

- When did he send this picture? - Last week.

He's 16 now... you guys know what he's been through,

and he deserves a better life, and I can give it to him.

Okay.

Okay, what?

We'll help.

- Yeah? - Yeah, I'll get the chopper.

Oh, man, you guys are saints.

Hey, free sausage orecchiette for life.

According to my contact, the ship will be anchored

just offshore in two hours.

Then we got to move fast.

I'll make some calls.

Can we talk? Just...

Look...

I know that Nuzo was family and that

makes Paulie family, but that doesn't

automatically mean that you need break the law for him.

Helping Ahmed find a new life is what's known as

"a mitzvah."

You know, it's also what's known as...

oh, what is the word... illegal.

So, what am I supposed to do, turn Ahmed in?

The Feds will send him back... I mean,

he's a 16-year-old kid with no family.

Pretty sure I know the answer to this, but what about Katsumoto?

We're not going to Katsumoto.
