"Yeah, that case haunted him." "I found this in his toolbox." "I never understood why." "Then this morning I met" "Clayton's daughter and it started to make some sense." "Apparently, my dad kept in touch with her." "What happened?" "Well, there had been a string of robberie in the neighborhood." "And Clayton was closing up this place when the killer came in and shot him in cold blood." "Grabbed the cash box and took off." "Meanwhile, the daughter was upstairs in the apartment that they shared when the whole thing happened." "Poor kid heard the shot." "What about suspects?" "They ever have any suspects?" "Yeah, for a minute." "Homeless guy." "Uh..." "Ned Burrows." "HPD found him during the canvass." "Lab tested a sweatshirt he was wearing, and it came back with traces of GSR."

"But after they let him go, your dad became convinced that Burrows knew more than he said." "So, he went back into that neighborhood every night for a month, looking for the guy, but never found him." "And over the years, he kept up the search." "The guy was a ghost." "What?" "A couple of days before my dad was killed, he called Paul Clayton's daughter, and told her he might have a new lead." "Maybe he finally tracked him down."

"It's one thing you discover early on, as a prosecutor, is just how often even the most promising leads fail to pan out." "Whatever happens, thank you." "You're welcome." "KONO:" "Hey, so we looked at all the physical evidence in the case." "And it turns out there wasn't much." "There were no prints at the scene, and no usable DNA profiles on the sweatshirt." "What about ballistics?" "Well, there was only one bullet fired, no shell casing found, so more than likely the murder weapon was a revolver." "Now, CSU did recover some bullet fragments." "But ballistics testing at the time was inconclusive." "All right, have the lab test those fragments again." "Technology's come a long way in the last 20 years." "Maybe we'll get (phone ringing) something this time." "Yeah, Chin?" "What do you got?" "Looks like you were right about that lead." "What?" "My dad was closing in on Ned Burrows." "Yup." "Turns out that shortly before your father passed," "Hawaii launched a program to issue state I.D.'s to the homeless, so they could apply for jobs and services." "Your dad checked and found out Burrows got one of those I.D.'s, which put him in the system." "And once that happened, he started leaving a trail." "Right, but my father never got the chance to follow it." "You're right." "But now we can." "BURROWS:" "All right." "Here's the deal." "Uh, that sweatshirt... wasn't the only thing I fished out of the Dumpster." "What do you mean?" "There was, uh, a metal box had about $350 cash in it along with a pretty nice watch." "I figure whoever killed the bar guy stashed the loot and was gonna come back for it later." "STEVE:" "All right, when they picked you up, you had the sweatshirt." "What'd you do with everything else?" "I partied." "I spent most of the money on meth." "And then I put the rest back with the watch and I hid the box in this old building behind Leonard's Bakery." "I figured I'd pawn the watch down the road." "But after the cops let me go," "I figured it was safer to just forget about it." "See?" "There it is." "What is that?" "I'm not sure." "All right, we'll get it back to the lab, see if we can pull some prints off of it." "You guys can take him home now." "I told you." "I didn't have nothing to do with that murder." "This doesn't add up." "It doesn't add up." "The night of the murder, that neighborhood was a ghost town, all right?" "The HPD response time was seven minutes." "Which means the killer had plenty of time to take the loot and disappear without anybody seeing him and long before the cops show up." "Right, so why stash it and risk it being found?" "'Cause I don't think it had anything to do with the money." "I think the killer took this to throw the HPD off and make them think it was robbery." "If you're right, then Paul Clayton's murder was pre-meditated." "This was a hit." "Ellie, there's, uh, there's something I want to talk to you about." "We followed up on the lead that my dad had mentioned." "And based on what we found, we no longer think that your dad's murder was connected to the robbery." "We actually think he was targeted." "You're saying someone went there intending to kill him?" "Ellie, I need you to think back." "Did anything usual happen in the days before the murder?" "Did your dad do anything out of character?" "Was there any strange behavior?" "There was this one incident." "It was maybe a week before the murder." "I saw my dad arguing with this boy." "Jordan." "Jordan who?" "You remember his last name?" "Lewis, I think-- he was a neighborhood kid-- he was 15, maybe 16." "They were arguing behind the bar, and it was, it was intense." "I asked my dad what it was about." "But he wouldn't tell me." "He said it was just a small misunderstanding." "Looking back and knowing what I know now, it could've been more than that." "I need a lawyer here?" "No." "No." "We're just having a conversation." "Hm." "Had a cop say that to me once." "Same way, too." "All casual." "Conversation ended with me in handcuffs." "Paul Clayton." "You remember that name?" "He owned a bar called Aces High in your old neighborhood." "Yeah, I..." "I remember him." "Got killed in a robbery." "CHIN:" "Well, that's the thing." "That was the theory back then, but now we think it might have been premeditated." "Yeah, see, a week before the murder, he had a big blow-out with Paul Clayton." "Yeah, I see where this is going." "But you're way off base." "All right, then, set us straight." "You tell us how you selling meth outside of Aces High didn't put you in conflict with Paul Clayton." "It did." "But Mr. Clayton, man, he was... he was trying to help me get out." "He wanted me to quit dealing." "He said, if I did, he would... he would hook me up with a job." "But I..." "I told him it wasn't so easy." "It's not like I was dealing because I wanted to." "My mom was a junkie." "She... she was in debt to a local dealer named Sykes." "I was working off what she owed." "But Mr. Clayton, man, he... he didn't get it." "He... he thought there was another way." "He didn't get how things worked." "That's what we were arguing about, okay?" "Man was trying to save my life." "I didn't..." "I didn't kill him." "And if you don't believe me... check my medical records... right?" "I got this surfing Yoks."

"Look, give me a call if you get a second, all right?" "I'm thinking about you, buddy." "Bye." "Just got off the phone with the lab." "No usable prints on the cash box." "They also ran ballistics again, but came back with the same result." "Said that if we had more fragments to test, they might have better luck." "Your dad really went at this one hard, didn't he?" "Definitely ran down every lead." "Yeah, he really wanted to get justice for Ellie." "You know, I think that's why he looked after her the way he did, because he never could." "Actually, Steve..."

"Guy by the name of Dominic Alonzo." "But you won't be talking to him, because he's been dead eight years." "That's helpful." "All right, let's find somebody who worked for Dominic, see if they can remember anything about Paul Clayton owing money to the house." "(jukebox music plays faintly, then fades)" "Hey." "I went past your office, they, uh, told me you left early." "I figured you might come down here." "Can never bring myself to sell this place." "Even when I was trying to find money for law school." "How's the investigation coming?" "I want to show you something." "Okay?" "Do you know what that is?" "No." "We found that card in the cash box that we recovered." "That gave your father access to an underground game room." "Ellie, we think it's possible that your father's murder could have been related to illegal gambling." "No, there's no way." "I know it's hard to hear." "We all want to think the best of our fathers." "No, it's not that." "Look, my dad used to gamble." "A lot." "When he was in his 20s, he was a rounder." "That's how he scraped together enough cash to buy this place." "But I know for a fact that he quit playing before I was born." "He might have had that card, but I don't believe he ever used it." "Maybe business was slow." "You know, maybe he needed cash." "Listen, w-we're still looking into it, okay?" "But in the meantime, there's something else I want to try." "All right?" "With your permission..." "I'd like to exhume your father's body, and have our M.E. perform a second autopsy." "Why?" "The bullet that killed your dad, it was shattered, okay?" "And at the time, they only recovered some of the fragments." "Which means pieces were either mishandled, or they were still in your dad's body, and they simply missed them during that first autopsy." "Now, if we can get those other pieces, our lab is gonna have a much better chance at matching ballistics." "Look, I can't imagine how hard this is for you, asking you to relive everything, having to grieve all over again." "And, Ellie, if you want to say no, say no." "That's okay."

"I put a picture of your Vic in front of some card dealers who worked the Paradise Den back in '95." "Turns out one of 'em actually remembered the brother." "So, Paul Clayton, was he a regular there?" "No, just stopped in once." "And your friend remembers him?" "It was a memorable visit." "According to my friend, there was an incident." "He was hazy with the details, but apparently your Vic got into it with some card players one night." "And these guys were some serious trouble."

"They were pretty vicious." "And definitely not the kind of folks you want to antagonize." "Thanks, buddy." "Okay, so we know Paul Clayton was a card shark." "Maybe he was hustling some of these SVL guys and they got wise to him." "All right, so the bullet that killed Paul Clayton was matched to a gun that was used in an attempted homicide five months before Paul's murder." "There were no arrests were made, but the primary suspect in the case was one Tony Malua." "What do we know about him?" "KONO:" "Well, today, he's a legit businessman who builds and sells koa furniture." "But in a previous life, he was a known SVL member who served time for aggravated assault."

"Hang on." "Sykes?" "Yeah." "It was him who got into it with the haole, not me." "They was arguing over some corner boy." "Start at the beginning." "The haole came into the Paradise with five large." "Told Sykes he'd play heads-up poker with him for the kid's freedom, so they did." "And then the guy took Sykes down." "Humiliated him in front of everybody." "Sykes got pissed."
