"Company A. Ten-hut!" "Company, forward, march!" "Surprise!" "One, two, three..." "Happy birthday, Thomas!" "Yeah!" "No, now you promised!" "I didn't promise." "I said I wouldn't throw you a surprise birthday party." "Yes, but she didn't say anything about my throwing you a surprise birthday party!" "Don Eddie." "I was gonna call you." "Oh, yeah." "Sure." "You know, this guy's been in town four days." "The only way I get to see him is to throw him a party." "I'm a year older, as you've all so thoughtfully reminded me." "Thanks, everybody." "I'm really surprised." "Well, we might as well go and finish what's left of the food." "Yeah!" "That way." "Hey, Thomas, happy birthday." "Hi, thanks." "Hey, Thomas, meet my son, Doug." "Thanks, Bill." "Hi, Doug." "How are you?" "Thank you." "Thanks, nice to see you." "Nice to have you home." "You guys..." "Thanks, thanks." "Honestly, Thomas, where have you been?" "You said you'd be back by 6:30, it's nearly 11:" "OO." "No kidding." "I didn't know it was that late." "Where's Billy?" "In bed." "Here, have some of this." "I call it Karen's Cooler." "No, Karen, I'm gonna get a beer in the refrigerator." "OO." "Said that he was sorry he couldn't get back for the celebration." "Isn't he getting a little old to be flying." "That's good." "Tom..." "Okay, Katherine, you've gotta let him go." "His guests are getting restless." "Is there any more dip?" "In the fridge." "Well" "I think this is the big weekend." "Oh, yeah?" "For what?" "Me and Don Eddie..." "You know." "No." "What?" "I think he's getting ready to ask for a certain incredibly wonderful woman's hand in marriage." "No kidding." "I thought he was dating you." "Don't say anything to him." "Okay." "What time are you going to the reunion tomorrow?" "I've decided not to go." "I stopped by Annapolis today." "Stopped by?" "That's some drive." "Did you throw a penny on..." "What's his name?" "Tecumseh." "In his quiver for good luck?" "Yeah." "That's reunion enough for me." "I better get back." "You might as well talk about it now or you'll lust have to talk about it tomorrow." "What?" "Whatever it is you don't wanna be talking about." "What makes you think I'm not talking about something?" "You said you wanted to come home to go to your reunion." "I changed my mind." "Well, you said there were things you wanted to talk about." "Yeah, not maior things." "Just..." "And you're drinking beer like you own the company." "Well it's my birthday after all, and I'm on vacation." "I have been thinking of making some changes." "You remember Maggie Poole?" "I used to work with her at Naval Intelligence." "She brought me this letter." "It's from Michelle." "You can read it." "I know." "Michelle wanted me to know that Lily" "is my daughter." "In case something happened to her." "I have this feeling." "You know me and my hunches." "I've been writing letters to Lily." "Still..." "I lust can't believe she's dead." "That's the first time I've said the word out loud." "After your father died," "I used to go into his closet and close the door." "It was cool and dark, his scent still clung to the clothes." "That's where I did most of my crying, and later, my talking to him," "sitting on the floor in all that blackness, pretending he was there, listening." "I've run out of excuses, Tom." "You'd better get out here!" "Good night, Karen." "Thank you." "Good night, Devon." "Good night, Rosemary." "Good night, Karen." "All right, what's the story?" "About what?" "You lay this bomb on me that my friend is maybe gonna ask you to marry him, and then there's no story that goes along with that?" "Oh, that." "Oh!" "You better get that." "I think it's for you." "Something your mother cooked up." "No." "This is not a singing telegram." "Thomas..." "I hate singing telegrams!" "Answer the door." "Go." "They're embarrassing." "And not just for me, for the poor girl who has to parade around in those skimpy, little outfits." "Hi." "Good evening." "I'm looking for Katherine Peterson." "Oh!" "You made it!" "I'm sorry I'm late." "Tom." "Captain Thomas Magnum," "I'd like you to meet Lieutenant Commander, Thomas Magnum, your grandson." "Sounds like the kind ofiam you're always in, Thomas." "Well, sir, there I was, broke and in Louisville mere days before the Kentucky Derby." "What'd you do?" "Well, what else could I do?" "I sought out the owner of the odds-on favorite." "I bet the man $10,OOO that I could outrun his thoroughbred in a 100-yard dash." "You, on foot, racing a horse?" "Yes." "After I won, I took the money and..." "Whoa..." "You won?" "Well, there's no point in racing if you're not gonna win." "Uh-huh." "How'd you do that?" "I agreed to race at his breeding farm if he gave me the right to pick the exact course." "You lay out a course that's fifty yards long, and by the time the iockey gets the horse turned around, you're home free." "Exactly." "How'd you think of that?" "That's what I would've done." "Why'd you leave the Navy?" "Sadly, I lost over half my winnings the next night on an unfortunate investment." "You had your own ship." "That's a lot to give up." "Well, it's a... it's a bit of a drive back to my hotel." "I thought you were gonna be staying here." "Katherine mentioned that you might be..." "Well, it was gracious of her to offer, but I've got my BOQ setup already." "I'd really like to talk to you." "You know there's nothing I'd like better than to sit around the old cracker barrel, but right now..." "Well, I'll walk you out to the car." "Fine." " Marvelous party." " Oh, I had a lot of help." "Good night, all." "Hey, where are you going?" "Thomas, what're you doing?" "Hey, Thomas!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Hey, it's a long walk home." "I didn't hear you." "Place always gets to me." "Must have been here 20 times over the years." "It always gets to me." "You okay?" "Great." "Except..." "Except nothing." "Come on, we've got a lot to see." "So, what's the story with you and Karen?" "Oh, great." "Right." "You clam up and then you expect me to spill my guts about everything that's going on in my personal life." "Not everything." "Good." "Just about my cousin." "Just about Karen." "So, what's the story?" "I don't know." "I'm thinking of asking her to marry me." "Boy, what's all this wedding stuff?" "You know, I don't know." "The only thing is the logistics and everything." "I mean, you know..." "First Rick, now you." "Here I am, I'm living in Pinehurst and working in D.C. It must be something in the air." "She's over there in Tidewater, her boy's all settled in school and everything..." "Kind of like the Asian flu." "I just..." "You have the flu?" "No." "We're talking about you getting married." "You know, you're right." "I should stop driving myself crazy with the small stuff." "I should ask her to marry me first." "If she says yes, then I worry about the details." "Thanks, Thomas." "I knew talking to you would help me out." "I'll have an Old Düsseldorf in a long neck." "I'm sorry, this party is for military only." "That's okay, I used to be one." "Hi." "Now is it my imagination or you've been ducking out on me?" "There's lot of people to catch up with." "You give any thought to what I said?" "Look, Bryce, I appreciate what you're trying to do." "I'm not trying to do it for you." "I'm trying to do it for the Navy." "Man, with your background, your abilities..." "I mean, hell, man." "I am a captain." "With your skills, you'd have your own ship by now." "I'm telling you," "I can do whatever it takes to get you back in." "No." "Thanks." "Well, at least give it some thought." "I put that behind me for good, Bryce." "That part of my life is over." "Look, I've got an appointment." "It's good to see you again." "Good to see you." "So, how is it you're all dressed up with nowhere to go?" "Oh, I think right here is as good a place to go as any." "Well, you know, if you're gonna eat, you should grab a table." "Kitchen's gonna close in about ten minutes." "Well, that gives me about nine minutes to think about it." "I will have another beer, though." "Okay." "Telephone message for Mr. Magnum." "Oh, I'm Thomas Magnum." "You're Thomas Magnum?" "I'm a little confused." "I thought the telephone message was from a Thomas Magnum." "Oh, that's my grandfather." "He's expecting me." "Oh, I see." "Sandy." "Yeah?" "What's that word?" ""Sorry."" "What's the rest of it say?" "The lights are..." ""I'm afraid I can't make it after all." "Sorry." "Captain Magnum."" "Can you cancel the beer?" "I'll have a scotch instead." "I love you, Michelle, more than anyone I've ever known," "and I'm letting you go." "Dear Thomas, as I wríte thís letter, I pray to god that you wíll never read ít." "For íf you do, ít means that somethíng has happened to separate me from Líly forever." "But íf that should happen, ít ís ímperatíve that she be reuníted wíth her father." "You are that man, Thomas." "I thínk you always knew you were." "Please take care of her and of you." "I always loved you, Míchelle." "Billy." "Mom said I couldn't wake you up." "I told her I'd just wait." "Uh-huh." "I see." "Good." "Thank you." "You feel okay?" "I'm fine." "Guess what." "Don Eddie asked my mom to marry him." "She said yes, and we're gonna move into this new house together." "Isn't that cool?" "That's great." "Teenage Mutant Nínja Turtles?" "I left that for you just in case you wanted to read it when you got home last night." "Oh." "Uh-huh." "I didn't feel like reading." "He woke up all by himself." "Thanks." "Do you want a cup of coffee?" "How was your dinner with the Captain?" "Oh, about what you'd expect." "He didn't show up." "Do you want some breakfast?" "Here's your Turtles." "Do you think being a private investigator is just an excuse not to grow up?" "No." "Not really." "No way!" "Hello." "Oh, I'm so surprised to hear from you." "Oh, are you in for Mr. Higgins?" "Oh, I suppose congratulations are in order." "I assume this is real important, Higgins." "Magnum, I'm terribly sorry, but..." "I think this configuration is absolutely..." "Excuse me." "I'm sorry to interrupt your vacation..." "I'll be outside." "But I've lust received a call from Linda Lee Ellison." "She's a television reporter you dated last year for a short time." "Higgins, I know who I dated." "Then perhaps you also know that she's in the hospital." "Someone tríed to kíll her." "Hey, Thomas." "Oh, geez." "I'm sorry." "Take your time." "Thomas." "What are you doing?" "You came back?" "Well, when somebody tries to kill somebody," "I just automatically jump on a plane and come home." "It's kind of a bad habit of mine." "Besides, you're here for observation." "I thought I'd just observe." "Well, I hope I didn't get you here under false pretenses." "What do you mean?" "I've been working on a tough story about organized crime in the Islands." "I've been tired and a little nervous about some of the people I've been interviewing." "So, I guess my own paranoia made me suspect that someone was following me." "But no one was." "I'm so embarrassed." "The police found absolutely nothing." "Now I know I have a vivid imagination, but I didn't realize it could go that far." "I've also been thinking a lot about you lately." "And when this happened, well, it lust seemed like a good excuse to call you." "I've missed you." "I can't believe you came back." "But I'm glad you did." "So am I." "You remember The Three Musketeers, right?" "Yes." "These guys are so close that you cut one of them, the other one bleeds." "I think that's The Corsícan Brothers." "Whatever." "Look, Thomas, the point is, is I'm getting married..." "To a really special woman." "Which, I'm sure, anyone who met her would realize without having had to get to know her really very well at all, really." "Right." "Well, you see..." "Well..." "I got these two best friends and I don't wanna upset either one of them..." "Say no more." "I know what you're getting at." "You do?" "Sure." "I know T.C. and he'll understand." "And I'd be happy to be your best man." "Oh." "Be right there!" "Thank you." "Thomas." "Listen, don't say anything to T.C. until I tell you, okay?" "Okay." "Sorry I'm late." "Traffic, traffic, traffic." "Emile, this is T.C." "I knew I should've brought my industrial strength tape measure." "Like I said, he's the best in the business." "Now the bride, of course, will be in white." "Oh, I don't know." "I don't think that's a very good idea." "Well, Cleo, you certainly don't have to be bound by outmoded ideas." "What do you mean?" "What she means to say is, is that while white used to be reserved only for young ladies who..." "That is to say young ladies who were not..." "I mean, rather..." "Oh, you thought I meant because I used to be a hooker?" "No." "I just didn't want to overwhelm Rickey." "You see, my color consultant said that white was my power color." "Higgins, I need to see you." "Hi, Thomas." "Hello, Cleo, Carol, everybody." "Welcome back." "Now, if you'll excuse us." "I think it's your turn to be measured, boy." "An experience you wouldn't wanna miss." "Sorry." "It'll have to wait." "Shall we say in the study?" "Now?" "Jet lag." "You know, I think it's a very interesting thought..." "Bad news about Miss Ellison?" "Where is it, Higgins?" "Where is what?" "You know what I'm talking about." "What makes you think I've done anything with it?" "Higgins, I know what you're trying to do, but it's a mistake." "Give it to me." "Magnum..." "I'm trying to make allowances because" "I know you think you're doing the right thing, but I suggest you take a good look at me." "So, Magnum, you probably weren't expectíng to hear from me." "Come on, Líly." "I should pack some thíngs for my husband." "He's brought everythíng he needs from the offíce." "We have no tíme." "Edward, I'm so sorry about all thís." "It's okay, Míchelle." "No, Líly, there's no tíme." "Líly." "Líly!" "The first time I heard this, I was horsing a thunderboat up the Mekong River." "For those of you who were there, and for you youngsters who think the Mekong is some kind of video game, here's the smooth-sounding, high-stepping Temptations with My Gírl." "Thomas!" "How're you doing?" "Come on in." "You're looking good, man." "So are you." "How've you been?" "Great." "So when are you coming over to my stress syndrome at the VA?" "Soon." "No, you're not." "Confession's not good for your soul, secrecy is." "Hell, you're so tight-lipped, you never even told me why you left the Navy." "I told you, Dave." "One day I woke up when I was 33..." "Then, you realized you'd never been 23..." "Exactly." "I rest my case." "So?" "What?" "Come on." "You're never up at this hour unless there's some maior crisis in the works." "Now what is it?" "Well, there is a case that I'm working on." "A car bombing." "The incident was videotaped." "And I stripped the sound off onto this audio." "I need you to clarify all the dialog and background noises, especially just before the explosion." "You have got to be kidding." "Hey, you're the best audio engineer I know." "You're asking the impossible, then giving me a copy of a copy." "You've gotta at least give me the original videotape to work with." "No, I don't." "Okay." "Let me see what I can do." "Hey, you always told me to bring my problems to Uncle Dave." "I meant your problems with beautiful women." "Everything you see here is state of the art." "Yeah." "We like to think we offer the best security in town." "That's great." "Excuse me." "Hi." "Magnum." "You look great." "How are you feeling?" "Better." "Thanks." "Any deliveries or repairs scheduled for today, Miss Ellison?" "Nothing, Mark." "Thanks." "So, how long will it take us to drive to Waimea Falls?" "Who said anything about driving?" "This is wonderful." "Careful." "Thanks." "Oh!" "Ordinarily, people leave breadcrumbs behind to find their way back." "Thank you." "However, there's nothing ordinary about this day." "Come on." "I think you're gonna love the view of the falls." "Hello?" "I didn't wake you, did I?" "Me?" "The orígínal níght person?" "What's up?" "Did your grandfather call?" "No." "Was he supposed to?" "He called after you left and asked for your phone number and address." "I guess he's gonna drop you a note." "Right." "Are you..." "Are you okay?" "Oh, I'm great, Mom." "I'm really great." "There's some things I figured out that" "I really wanna tell you about, but there's somebody else that I have to talk to first." "I lust wanted to let you know that things are gonna be great." "Just great." "Are you there?" "I'm here." "I'll call you tomorrow." "I'll be here." "I love you." "I love you, too." "You saíd you had some changes to make ín your lífe." "Whoever it is you have to talk to," "I know I'm gonna love her, too." "Goodbye, Mom." "Thank you." "I wish you could've seen the look on the waiter's face." "I guess my Thai is a little rusty." "I don't mean my tie is rusty." "I mean..." "I know what you mean." "I wonder what we ordered." "I don't know, but I'm sure it would've been interesting." "I had a terrific time." "It was very nice." "I'd love to invite you in, but..." "I know." "It's a little early." "Well, actually, it's a little late." "You know what I mean." "Yes." "Good night." "Good night." "So how about lunch?" "Maybe breakfast would be better." "Hi, it's me." "Man, where have you been?" "I've been trying to reach you." "You'd better get over here." "You're gonna want to hear thís." "Thomas." "Thomas." "Maggie, is there anything about Lily you haven't told me?" "No." "Okay." "Then I want you to look at this." "It's the tape you told me about?" "Thomas, if I had known when I gave you the letter that it was gonna turn into this, I wouldn't..." "Maggie..." "I can't lust stand by and..." "Maggie, just hear me out." "And then, if you don't wanna help me, I'll understand." "You know," "I still write letters to Lily." "I never questioned it." "It seemed to help me deal with what happened." "But, then, I began to wonder, why?" "Huh?" "I know you might think I'm a little nuts, but you know me and my hunches." "And a lot of times, they pay off." "And so I've done something about it." "And that's why I want you to look at this tape." "Come on, Líly." "I should pack some thíngs for my husband." "He's brought everythíng he needs from the offíce." "We have no tíme." "Edward, I'm so sorry about all thís." "Thomas, how can you watch this?" "No, Líly, there's no tíme." "Líly." "Líly!" "There." "Maggie, she said, "Búp bê. "." "That is "doll" in Vietnamese." "All right." "Now here it is again." "No, Líly, there's no tíme." "Líly." "Líly!" "All right, did you hear the tone in Michelle's voice?" "No, Líly, there's no tíme." "Líly." "Líly!" "She said "Lily, " and then there's a click." "That is the sound of a car door opening." "It's been positively identified." "Lily got out of the car." "She went to get her doll." "Maggie, she's alive somewhere." "I feel it." "And I need you to help me find her." "I don't want you to get your hopes up, Thomas." "I'm going to help you, if for no other reason than the fact that you have to have this resolved." "Just as I promised, a perfect fit." "Yeah, I don't know." "It's still a little tight in the shoulders." "I can take out the darts in the back one more time." "And if that doesn't work, we can always use a Cal COVel." "Yeah." "Oh, by the way, I wanted to ask you if it was all right..." "Don't worry about it, I'm gonna tell him." "I have to wait for the right time." "Rick." "Hi, Thomas." "Emile needs your measurements." "Yeah, I know, but..." "I wasn't talking about Thomas." "Thomas is the other member of the wedding party I was telling you about." "Don't you know any normal-sized people?" "I was talking about Melody." "I can't do this now, Rick." "I have an appointment." "Thomas!" "I'll take care of it!" "When?" "Soon!" "Was that Magnum?" "Yes." "Look, if she gets here early enough, can she come to the wedding?" "I wanted to talk to him." " Who?" " Melody!" "Magnum." "Of course." "These pants don't fit right." "Good evening, Miss Ellison." "Hello." "How are you?" "How are you?" "Fine." "Hello." "Hi." "Sorry I'm late." "I had trouble getting away from the studio." "Thank you." "Have you been waiting long?" "No." "Oh, it feels good to sit down." "You know, I was not having a great day until you called." "L..." "Lee, I have to talk to you about some things." "Thomas, you seem so serious." "I don't know how else to say this except to just say it." "I don't think we should see each other for a while." "What?" "I need some time." "There are some things I have to do." "Wait a minute." "You don't want to see me?" "For a while." "Is there someone else?" "No." "Well, kind of." "The more I say, the worse it sounds and it isn't what you think." "I just..." "I can't talk about it yet." "How do you know what I think?" "Can I get you a cab, Miss Ellison?" "Yes." "I'll be right back." "Somebody's trying to kill me!" "He has a knife!" "It's okay, lady." "Calm down." "Oh, my God, he's gonna kill me!" "Come here." "Come on." "I need backup." "Suspect on foot, armed and dangerous."
