Magnum P.I.

Don't lose him!

Not this time.

Reason this dude got away last time

wasn't 'cause he was too fast.

There's just too many

damn white SUVs on this island.

It was like a game of 300-card Monte.

Yo, you got two vehicles

coming up. Hug the corner.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm gaining on him. You better be.

You got half the weight and triple the horsepower.

Wait, are they slowing down?

Yeah, something's not right.

Thomas, get out of there!

Magnum!

What a surprise.

Y-Y-You look horrible.

Thanks. No,

I-I haven't really been sleeping well

the past couple days.

What's keeping you up? Is it hemorrhoids?

If it's grade IV, man,

that can be rough.

No, why would you assume that...?

It's nothing. It's not nothing

if you're losing sleep over it, man. Come on, tell me.

All right.

So, not too long ago,

somebody started following me.

Right? I don't... I don't know who they are or what they want,

but they're out there, and they want me to know that.

Wow. I've never seen you like this.

What can I do to help?

Honestly, I'm-I'm fine, Jin. But thank you.

Appreciate it.

Go ahead. Open it.

I-It's not what it looks like.

Really?

'Cause it looks like you just ran

somewhere around $5,000 through the dryer.Okay.

It is what it looks like, but it's not a scam.

I started this new business, and it's totally legit.

You're laundering money. Literally.

Yeah, I'm "laundering" money,

but I'm not "laundering money."

Since the pandemic, people are freaking out

about germs, and there's nothing filthier than cash.

And since temperatures over 140 degrees

kill germs and viruses,

for a small fee, your business offers

to clean people's cash for them, right?

Yeah. How'd you know that?

I'm plastered all over your website giving quotes

that I never said, like.

"Jin cleaned all my cash."

"Jin is the most honest person

"I know." That's funny.

And my personal favorite

"I'll never date anyone

"with dirty money again." Jin,

I've never said any of these things.

Yes, you have.

You've said those words,

just not in that order or in that context.

Take it down, all right? You can't start your first

honest business by being dishonest.

Okay, I'll take it down first thing next month.

Jin, come on. All right,

I'll take it down today. Thank you. Now,

I-I got a client to meet, but believe me,

the money you make is gonna feel that much sweeter

when you do it honestly.

Okay. Agree to disagree.

Hey, pal.

Want some coffee?

Yeah.

Need a luggage cart?

Why?

For all those bags under your eyes.

Yeah, that's funny.

I've been hearing a lot of that today. Man.

Thanks for keeping me humble.

Well, that's what friends are for.

Thanks for the coffee.

Magnum, this is Maui and Penna,

and they run the neighborhood watch in Kaimuki.

Nice to meet you.

You, too. Thank you for taking the time.

Say hello, Penna.

Hey.

Penna's a man

of few words, but he chooses them wisely.

Isn't that right, Penna?

Yeah.

This guy... We've actually worked with

some neighborhood watch groups before.

We investigated a burglary in Nu'uanu...

And the vandals in Polola.

We have a history with this kind of thing,

so how can we help you?

We think our neighbor's a murderer.

And what makes you think that?

There's a professor who lives across the street from Penna,

and two nights ago we saw him pull a woman out of his trunk.

She was out of it. Couldn't even stand.

We've been watching his house since then.

Even have somebody watching it now.

And as far as we can tell, she hasn't left.

I assume that you've notified the police.

Of course. HPD said they'd look into it.

But we don't have time to waste

if there's a killer on our block.

We pooled our money to hire you.

Everyone we care about lives in our cul-de-sac.

If a woman has been murdered in our neighborhood,

we need to get to the bottom of it.

Yeah, I know that watch group.

They don"t exactly get prioritized

to the top of the list. Why not?

'Cause all they do is cry wolf.

Last week they called us because a delivery guy's uniform

seemed a little too baggy.

They thought he was an imposter casing houses.

I'm guessing he wasn't.

Well, we opened up an investigation

just to learn the guy recently dropped 15 pounds.

Another time, a suspected murderer.

Turned out to be a ride-share driver. Another time...

Okay, we get the picture? Yeah.

The point is, we can't waste any more time or resources on them.

I'm not saying don't take the case.

It's a win-win. You guys get a paid gig.

What's the other win?

We get a couple monkeys off our back.

I still think we should take this case.

I mean, I don't know about the other times

that Maui and Penna spoke to HPD,

but they seem genuinely convinced about this.Agreed.

Plus, we can use a job.

Up all night?

One yawn and I've been up all night? Come on.

I saw the lights on in the guest house at 4:00 a.m.

What were you doing up at 4:00 a.m.?

Ethan had to leave early for the hospital.

The doctor.

Somebody had a nice night last night?

That's not your concern. My love life is not

a topic of conversation, but your sleep deprivation is.

Is it the white SUV?

Magnum, whoever's following you,

you know this is exactly what they want.

You off your game, paranoid and losing sleep.

Yeah, well, it's working.

That's only because you're letting it.

You have to take back control.

And you're gonna tell me how? Yes.

You gotta figure it out. I hate to tell you,

you are a very good detective,

and you will figure out who it is... we will.

Together. Thank you, Higgins,

for admitting how great of a detective I am.

I regretted it as soon as it came out of my mouth.

You said it.

That's it.

2609 Kaipo Circle.

So what else do we know about this guy?

Dr. Roland Bar. Doesn't use any social media accounts,

and he doesn't use the cloud.

Nothing else particularly incriminating.

Tenured professor, teaches international law.

Camry in the driveway. That's got to be

where Maui and Penna saw him

pull that woman out of the trunk.

Might be something in there that will confirm what they saw.

Let's find out.

There's nothing but a blanket. A blanket full of stains.

Could just be grease. Could be DNA.

This one yours or mine?

What?

No, that's yours.

Just making sure.

Let me take another look.

Yeah, this one hooks in the front.

My bra hooks on the back. Plus, I'm a double-D so...

You needed the extra support?

Always have.

Finally, a fellow smart ass.

I'm Oleen.

I'm Jin.

You come around here often? Actually, no.

My machines are dinosaurs.

Finally gave out.

Sorry to hear that, but if they hadn't,

you wouldn't have the pleasure of meeting me.

Yeah, totally worth it to lose a thousand bucks in appliances

to meet a guy I'll never see again.

You know, if you were younger, I'd ask you out on a date.

And if you were a little older,

taller and a lot more handsome,
