INT-MAGGIES QUARTERS-NIGHT

Captain Margaret (Maggie) Poole steps inside her quarters shutting the door

behind her. Dressed in her Blue uniform, takes her hat off sets her hat and

purse down on the stand by the door, puts the briefcase under her left arm.

With her right hand while walking over to the couch, takes the pins that held

her hair back out as her reddish blond hair falls to just below her shoulders.

She sat the briefcase down on the couch takes her jacket off and sat down on

the couch dropping the coat beside her, with right hand puts it on the back

of her neck, rubbing it moving her head up and down, it had been a long day,

she was tired the going away party, and the farewells brought a tear to her

eyes.

Her assignment at NSA London was over, now she would return to Washington for

her new assignment, with the rank of Captain.

She reached over and picks up the briefcase, opens the lid and takes out her

orders, reading them for a second time, she lays them down on the coffee table,

she gets up walks to the bedroom and a short time passed as water is running

in the shower, the sound of the shower being turn off, a few minutes passed,

Maggie walked out of her bedroom, her hair wet and dressed in a bathrobe, and

no shoes, drying her hair with a towel. She walks over to her window and looks

through the blinds to the street below, its was night in London and her last.

INT-AIRPORT TERMINAL-BAGGAGE-GATE-DAY

Maggie walked from the Baggage checkin to gate 31A for her flight to Washington,

she looks at the wall clock, it was ten a.m. she has an hour to wait.

People walked through the terminal to different gates meeting and saying goodbye

to friends and families who came to see them off.

Maggie walked to her waiting area, several people sat waiting for the call to

board flight 723. Nervous she looked again at the clock twenty minutes passed,

soon there should be the call for her to board.

Her thoughts were of the trip over three years ago, and how it felt when she

stepped off the plane and stood in the same airport.

The sound of a voice brought her back to now.

VOICE

HIGGINS

Yes....it should be opening.

At that moment there was a knock on the door, Higgins is somewhat aggrivated,

MAGGIE

Just to say thank you.

MAGNUM

MAGGIE

Maggie takes a pad and a pen, writes down her phone number, hands Magnum the paper.

MAGNUM

Magnum steps back from the door as Maggie starts to close the door, Magnum starts

to turn.

MAGNUM

Maggie if you need anything call me, my number

Maggie shuts the door, turns and walked to the phone looking at her watch, she

would have to wait till Monday.

Jackie turns and leaves the office shutting the door behind her.

INT-NIA BUILDING-OFFICE OF CAPTAIN MAGGIE POOLE

Maggie hangs the phone up, gets up and walked to the window looks down on the

parked cars, She goes over in her mind just how the plan was to go together.

*******************************************************************************

INT KING KAMEHAMEHA CLUB

It was just five pm, Magnum had left the estate, he had some clean up work to do

on a small case he was working on. This would finish it he was taking a break

before going back to the estate and typing up the report.

He takes his note pad out, checks off the list he only could find that the guy

he was looking for had no police record, but guy had been dead for three months.

Rick walked over to Magnum, stands for a moment, looking down at the note pad.

RICK

Whats up Thomas?

MAGNUM

Nothing Rick, plenty its this case its full of

mistakes about this guy I have been running all

over this town looking for.

RICK

So whats the problem maybe I can help?

MAGNUM

No that won't work the guy has been dead for

three months, I know since the death record's

on file and the cemetary show his grave.

RICK

Why did you have to find him?

MAGNUM

Child support case, the ex-wife states he hasn't

been paying...Carol found out I was back here...

she called me to find out why...This guy ran out

on his wife and two year old son...Can't very well

pay if your dead.

RICK

No not really.

MAGNUM

Now I have to send this report to Carol...Bad news

since the ex-wife was left with nothing.

RICK

Feel sorry for them both....Want a beer?

MAGNUM

Sure why not.

RICK

Be Right Back.

Rick walked back to the bar and gets two beers one for Magnum and one for himself.

Starts walking back to the table looking towards the door, He sees a man standing

by the door, he set the beer down on the table and walks by without saying a word.

MAGNUM

Thanks Rick.

Magnum not thinking as he finished his check off list, closed the pad puts it in

his shirt pocket along with the pen, and now don't see Rick anywhere.

He remembers that he walked by in the direction of the door, so he follows, he

looks outside up and down the beach.

Wouldn't have done that and left his beer on the table, Maybe he went to his

office, so he turns and walks to Ricks office opens the door, looks in and no

Rick, the leadger he had been working on was still sitting on the desk as was

the cash box.

Seeing this Magnum gets worried. Shuts the door and walks back to the bar and

waits for the bartender.

MAGNUM

Have you seen Rick?

BARTENDER

No Magnum!

MAGNUM

Then you didn't see him leave?

BARTENDER

Sure he isn't in his office?

MAGNUM

No, just checked, never mind.

Magnum turned and walked to the front door, time, to much time passed from when

he set the beer down and he didn't come back.

*******************************************************************************

EXT-KING KAMEHAMEHA CLUB BEACH-PARKING LOT-MARINA

Magnum walked to the beach looks up and down sees nothing walks back to the

parking lot, looks for ricks car, its still parked in its space, then the only

place left was the Marina.

He walked down the walkway to the piers, to the space the Club boat should be

tied up. as he looks the space is empty.

INT-KING KAMEHAMEHA III

The Cabin Cruiser was making way through the water Rick knew he was moving as he

felt the rocking and pitching of the boat, his hands were tied behind his back

and he was on his stomach or face down.

He tried to work his hands loose but he was tied to tight.

Where was he going,and why was his thought, and by who? But since he took over for

Ice Pick maybe someone was with the interest of taking him down.

EXT KING KAMEHAMEHA III

A man with his back turned has his hands on the steering wheel has long black

hair, and maybe Asian. And on deck two other guys. In the chart room another man

older with greying hair marking off a course on the chart. He turns and walked

over to the man steering the boat.

LEO

Turn north west.

ZACK

OK boss, what about our guest?

LEO

Keep him tied till me beach this tub.

ZACK

Right boss.

The cabin cruiser makes a slight turn to port, Rick feels the shift, being tied

up and in the forward cabin he knew from rideing in the compartment, knew the

boat turned.

He can hear someone walking above him on deck, he again feels the boat turn again

to port, very slight turn.

Just enough to know that there must be land or something waiting for the cabin

cruiser.

EXT-ISLAND CHARTERS-OFFICE

Magnum walks in and looks around for TC, doesn't see him and walked to TC's

private office starts to open the door then he here's TC's voice.

TC

Hey Thomas what are you doing here?

MAGNUM

Ricks in trouble TC,

TC

What you mean Ricks in trouble.

MAGNUM

I was at the club, he went to get us a beer,

he brought the beer back, then he vanished...

Along with the clubs cabin cruiser.

TC

Any leads?

MAGNUM

One...a fisherman saw the boat heading out, Rick

wasn't at the wheel. Turning Northeast once it got

out to sea.

TC

That I don't understand, the boat don't have a large

enough fule supply to go to far even if the tanks were

full.....Lets look at the map and see where it is going.

They walk over to the wall map, TC marks of the course he thought the boat may

have gone.

TC

Well looks like to me Thomas its Maui, Maui may be where

it's heading, north then northwest.

MAGNUM

How long to fly up there and be able to still catch them

before they make some beach.

TC

They have a good head start, it will be real close and

maybe not close enough.

*******************************************************************************

EXT- HELICOPTER- OCEAN-MAUI

TC walked around the helicopter checks the pre-flight readiness of the helicopter.

TC

Ok Thomas she checks out, time to find Rick, once we are

in the air, I'll radio the Coast Guard.

MAGNUM

What has Rick been into, I mean I know that may not be a

question you can give an answer to..

(pause)

But whats he been up to? (looking at TC)

TC

Not really that much, just his business and the KK club

manager thats it.

MAGNUM

What about the other?

TC

Don't know about that Thomas, he never talks about it.

(pause)

You think this was a hit don't you?

MAGNUM

Well.....yeah maybe......but I'm just looking for a

good reason that Rick was, we don't know if even he

was taken.......thats all TC.

TC

Then what are we doing here If he wasn't...kidnapped?

There Thomas..........I used the word that you been

dancing around all day.

MAGNUN

Yeah, I know, we are almost to Maui better start looking

for the boat.

EXT KING KAMEHAMEHA III

The gray hairded man walks to the man on the wheel he looks towards the sandy

beach and smiles.

GREY HAIRED MAN

Put her in there.

MAN ON WHEEL

Right boss, then we get rid of the boat.

The man on the wheel looks at his compass and turns the wheel to line up with

the point on the beach as he figured the best way in his mind to get rid of the

boat would be send it back to sea and it would just run till it ran out of gas.



The boat was just about 50 feet from a floating dock, the man turned the wheel

and the bow moved in the direction and point of the landing, the engine was cut

the lines from the boat were tied.

INT KING KAMEHAMEHA III

Two men walk to the cabin where Rick was tied up, they go in put a blindfold

over his eyes and then lead him to the deck topside. They are on deck and lead

Rick off the boat to a large black sedan parked with the left rear door open as

they push Rick inside.

RICK

Where are we?.....Where are we going?

MAN WITH TATOO

Keep your mouth shut and enjoy.

RICK

Sure, anything you say.

Two men were standing in front of the car as Rick was trying to hear what they

were going to do next all he heard was the word Maui.

GREY HAIRED MAN

Once we get out of here take this boat out, best take

the motor boat with you that way you can get back.....

The breakers will be far enough..lash the wheel down put

her in gear and get off she will be far away from here

and so will we.

SNAKEMAN

No problem boss.

Snakeman walked back to the boat and takes the lines off, starts the engine and

pulls away from the dock, he heads out to the breaker, ties the wheel as he was

told, then walks over to the ladder that leads down to the water, turns around

and goes down the steps of the ladder backwards to the platform where he can

step to the motor boat that was tied off.

He knows he had only one chance to board while the cruiser and small motor boat

was moving through the water at a very fast speed. He takes the rope lose leaving

it slip from the cleat on the deck of the boat, still holding the other end of

the rope in his hand.

He steps from the platform onto the boat and lost his balance but falls into the

boat, as the cabin cruiser pulls away leaving motor boat in its wake.

INT-HELICOPTER OCEAN

TC

Nothing, I am turning around and going back.

Magnum nods in agreement and the Helicopter turns banking to the left moving in

the direction that they came, both men looking for the cabin cruiser.



********************************************************************************

EXT-SMALL FRAME HOUSE-DRIVEWAY- LARGE SEDAN

The large sedan pulls up to the side of the small house two men get out of the

back seat bringing Rick with them the driver backs out of the driveway and returns

to the boat pier to pick up Snakeman who should be back and on the beach.

Rick is lead from the driveway to the house the Gray Haired man puts his hand on

Ricks back.

GRAY HAIRED MAN

Lets go you will have plenty of time to sleep

once we get what we want.

RICK

Yeah, then what is it you want?

GRAY HAIRED MAN

Don't worry about that, If I were you I would

worry more about when the hammer was going to

drop, not what we want.

RICK

By now people are looking for me, you can bet

that these guys are close right now.

GRAY HAIRED MAN

Get in the house now! (pissed)

INT SMALL FRAME HOUSE LIVING ROOM

Rick and the two other men were in the living room, one of the men walk up to the

gray haired man.

THUG #1

Boss now what?

GRAY HAIRED MAN

Put our guest in the bedroom make sure he's tied

good we don't want to lose him.

THUG #1

Ok buddy in the bedroom, turn around face the wall.

RICK

Why should I?

THUG #1

Because if you don't I will just have to give you a

tap on the head with the butt of this gun...is that

clear, face the wall.

*******************************************************************************

The door goes shut Ricks still tied the ropes on his wrists by now were cutting

into his skin.

RICK

One thing could you losen these ropes a ittle

they are cutting pretty deep.

THUG#1

Yeah but don't try anything if you do, I'll drop you.

Got that?

RICK

Yeah I got it.

INT BEDROOM-LIVING ROOM

Ricks feels better the ropes had been loosened a little at least they were not

cutting, Rick walks over to the bed and sat down and then lays back, and began

to relax.

From the crack between the boards that were nailed over the outside of the window

Rick new that the sun was about to go down.

INT HELICOPTER-OCEAN-DAY

TC is just about to land the helicopter, he called the coast guard, now they

would wait for someone to get the news to them if and when the cabin cruiser was

found. TC sets the helicopter down at the heloport.

EXT-HELOPORT-ISLAND CHARTER SERVICE BUILDING

Magnum and TC walk in the direction of the office.



MAGNUM

Lets go back to the club and see if there have

been any calls TC.

TC

Yeah, and I will leave the clubs phone number for

the Coast Guard.

INT TC'S PRIVATE OFFICE

Magnum sits on the edge of TC's desk as TC talks on the phone with the Coast

Guard command center.

TC

That at least some news, anyone on board?

VOICE(over phone)

No just found it drifting, the wheel was lashed....

it would run till out of fule.

TC

Thanks....Can you give me again the position that you

found it?...I'll write it down.

TC looks at Magnum and walks over to the map on the wall picks up a ruler and a

pencil.

TC

Coast Guard found the boat.

MAGNUM

Where show me?

TC looks at the paper in his hand and marks the latitude and longitude down lays

off a course in the opposite direction. Steps back and looks at Magnum.

MAGNUM

MAUI TC.

TC

From the time he gave me if we had been a little

sooner we may have found Rick, now I don't, I think

we should try again.

MAGNUM

To late tonight first light, we need to take some

firepower with us.

TC

See you at daybreak.

*******************************************************************************

INT GUESTHOUSE-LIVINGROOM

Magnum takes his 45 out of the drawer and loads a clip into it slid it forward

loads a shell in the chamber, lays the gun on the table, picks up the phone dials

TC. The phone rings and there is an answer.

TC(over phone)

Hello.

MAGNUM

Pick me up here.

TC

On my way.

Magnum hangs the phone up and looks at his watch, just past 5 am, still a little

dark outside but by the time TC is in the air and picks him up it will be light

enough, and they would get Rick back before lunch, Magnum was determined.



********************************************************************************

INT-SMALL FRAME HOUSE-RICKS ROOM

He listens as the men in the other room talk about how they were going to get

out of there, once they took care of Rick.

GREY HAIRED MAN

We only got paid to bring him here so we leave

him here tied up, and thats it.

Snakeman walks in the room.

SNAKEMAN

Hey boss the coast guard found the boat....

The Coast Guard's looking for that guys body.

INT-SMALL FRAME HOUSE-BEDROOM

Rick hears that and knows now for sure someone will be looking for him.

He works some more with the ropes and feels one of his hands skip the rope, then

pulls the other off, he was free, now to figure how to get a gun and shoot his

way out, but where was he, it wouldn't do any good to break out, not knowing where

he was.

INT HELICOPTER-OCEAN-LAND MASS-MAUI

Magnum pulls the chart out from the small shelf that sticks up from the floor

and under the dash.

MAGNUM

Here is where it left from TC.

TC

Yeah, we better just look around first, do a fly over

of the area.

INT-SMALL FRAME HOUSE-BEDROOM

Rick listens, he hears or thinks he hears the sound of a helicopter, now he knew

he had to get out of there. He looks for something he can use to take the boards

off the windows, finds nothing. Then he would have to get one of the guys in the

other room to come in.

EXT-SMALL FRAME HOUSE

Magnum and TC fly over the small frame house, Magnum points to it, and TC looks

down, shakes his head in agreement.

TC

We'll land over there.

INT SMALL FRAME HOUSE-LIVINGROOM-KITCHEN

The men in the house started going to different rooms as they also heard the

helicopter fly over.

EXT-HELICOPTER-FIELD- YARD-SMALL FRAME HOUSE.

Magnum and TC walk from the Helicopter through a sugar cane field, in view was

the small frame house, this wasn't going to be easy, two doors front and back,

one would have to go in the front door the other in the back door.

They knew it was risky to try it on their own but it had to be done.

INT SMALL FRAME HOUSE-BEDROOM

In the noise Rick got one of the boards off and there was another one he was

working with, and just about had that one off. Rick had the boards off and now

it was time for him to get out.

*******************************************************************************

EXT-SMALL FRAME HOUSE-BEDROOM WINDOW-CANE FIELD

Ricks slides through the window and steps down on the ground which way to go?

He could see through the trees the Ocean.

He looked up to see where the sun was it was to the east so he knew from that he

had to be facing the ocean. He would have to keep low to the ground and make his

way across the cane field in his view.

If he could make it to the cane field he could make it. He got down on his hands

and knees and crawled to the edge of the field and into the sugar cane.

He was safe, he heard a noise from behind him. He waited till the person was

close enough leaped out and brought them to the ground.

TC

What the heck do you think you are doing?

RICK

Boy am I gald to see you.....Is Thomas with you?

TC

How many are there? and I just felt your glad to

see you hello.

RICK

There are four of them TC.

Rick and TC here footsteps, turn as Magnum walked towards them.

MAGNUM

Hi guys, see you made it Rick..

TC

Yeah, but I almost didn't.

MAGNUM

Why what happen?

RICK

I jumped TC I didn't know it was him.

MAGNUM

How many in the house?

RICK

Four Thomas.

MAGNUM

Well there's three of us, hey look so maybe

someone will get the extra guy.

Rick, TC and Magnum Walk towards the house.

INT SMALL FRAME HOUSE-LIVING ROOM, KITCHEN-BACK DOOR

The men were at different windows looking out, they saw no one, the man in the

kitchen came back to the living room.

SNAKEMAN

Nothing that eggbeater went on.

GRAY HAIRED MAN

Sounds like it did.

SNAKEMAN

Now what?

GRAY HAIRED MAN

We'll get out of here.

Magnum is now at the back of the house, has his 45 pulled looks down at his watch,

Rick was back in the room again, the idea was to make alot of noise, which one of

the guys would be checking it out.

Rick goes behind the door tossed a small stool across the room where it crashed

against the wall, here comes the guy that calls himself the Snakeman, he takes

the key out unlocks the door and opens it, seeing nothing he steps inside the

room. He feels something in his back.

RICK

OK monkey face give me the gun.

SNAKEMAN

Sure man here's the gun.

Like a dummy, Rick reaches for the gun the man jumps Rick knocking him to the

floor, but it also knocked the gun out of Snakeman's hand and on the floor, Rick

kicks it away, then with his right hand drives his fist into Snakemans left Jaw,

knocking him on his back, hitting his head on the wall between the bedroom and

living room knocking him out.

RICK(to Himself out loud)

Have a nice nap garbage bag.

Rick looks towards the door thinking the noise may bring the others, which would

be good that would put them in a cross fire if they decided to shoot it out,

picking up the snakemans gun.

TC comes in the back door, moving slow with his gun in his left hand, listens as

he heard the fight in the bedroom, not knowing who would come out, Magnum also

is in the house, he came in the front door with his 45 drawn, moves slow as he

doesn't know who will be seen first.

*******************************************************************************

INT-SMALL FRAME HOUSE-OTHER BEDROOM

The gray haired man, with the other two men walk in the second bedroom, there

they would wait.

Magnum and TC meet.

MAGNUM

Hey Rick where are you?

RICK

Thomas?

MAGNUM

Yeah, come out TC's here.

The door opens, Rick steps out of the bedroom holding Snakemans gun.

RICK

There were at least four I got one in here.

TC

Yeah, and the leaves three.

MAGNUM

We didn't pass them on the way in, so they're

still in the house.



The men in the bedroom raise the window in an attempt to get out Magnum stops

talking hearing the sound of the window opening.

He turns to the door, taking the door nob, turns it, pushed it open, a shot buzzs

by and hits the wall by his head, takes a deep breath, steps in the doorway fires

sveral shots the gray haired man returns fire striking the wall beside Magnum,

who fires and hit the gray haired man he falls to the floor holding his chest.

MAGNUM

Its over drop your guns.

TC

Better listen there are only two ways out of here

drop your guns take your chance with the law or dead.

VOICE

Ok, here are our guns, don't shoot.

MAGNUM

Cover me TC, Rick get that other guy, maybe you can

bring him to the party, after all we don't want to

leave anyone out.(smiles)

EXT KING KAMEHAMEHA CLUB-BEACH

Rick walked along the beach thinking back to the last few days, he hadn't told the

agent that he knew who was the one that had him picked up, Magnum and TC sat at

a table, they watched Rick.

TC

Think he will be alright Thomas?

MAGNUM

Yeah, but he didn't tell everything TC, he left

something out.

TC

MAGNUM

The name of the person who was behind this.

TC

MAGNUM

in the corner of the couch and the arm, and fell asleep, the TV was on and the

newspaper he was reading sliped off his lap and fell to his feet.

saying his name he opens his eyes and looks up.
