HAWAIIAN ICE
By
RMASTERS
***********************************************************
EXT 60 MILES NORTHEAST OAHO MOTER YACHT-DAY
The sails were down as the Moter Yacht lay dead in the water, on deck there
were two men, and below deck three men and one women. The Yacht was enroute
from Hilo to Los Angeles.
The owner of yacht was in the import-export business, Jay Majors was 40 years
of age, on this trip he brought his wife Sarah 35 a Japanese American with him
on this trip to Hawaii.
Things were different once they reached the waters around Hawaii as two of the
crew members was a member of a gang that was after the Jewels.
The diamonds had the worth of five million dollars, and packed in several crates
of small China Dolls.
INT YACHT FORWARD CABIN
THUG#1: Ok you two forward to the master cabin, move.
JAY MAJORS: Why are you doing this?
THUG#1: Shut up, get in there.
SARAH MAJORS: They are going to kill us Jay.
JAY MAJORS: Yes they are ( putting his right arm around her)
THUG#1: Ok in the closet both of you, now.
Jay Majors takes a chance, he grabes the Thugs hand and swings with his
other hand hitting the thug in the Jaw with his fist.
In the short struggle the gun goes off twice both shots stike Sarah Majors she
falls to the deck, beside the bed. Two more shots ring out and Jay Majors is hit
and falls in front of the closet.
THUG#2: Hey Ripper everything alright down there?
THUG#1: Yeah, everthing is fine, just need one of you guys to come down here.
THUG#2: Yeah, be down in a few minutes, we got to put this other box over the
side.
*******************************************************************************
EXT YACHT TOPSIDE STERN.
BOSS(spike): Hey ripper we'll put this box over here with the other one, and
come back later.
RIPPER: Yeah, good as spot as any.
The crates were dropped over the side one at a time the chart was marked to
show the location.
BOSS (spike): Hurry up get that last one over the side, we got company upstairs.
RIPPER: On My way.
The two men were standing on deck, one with a machine gun fires several rounds
at the Helicopter that flies over,
BOSS (spike): I missed that thing can you believe that.
RIPPER: Yeah I can the way you shoot, lets get out of here this is getting to
busy around here.
BOSS (SPIKE): Mickie get this thing moving, now.
Ripper and Spike went below again.
INT LIVING ROOM AREA
Ripper and Spike walking forward to the master cabin and the two bodies laying
in front of the closet.
RIPPER: We ought to just dump them over the side, and be rid of it.
BOSS (SPIKE): No we will stuff them in the forward hold, and no one will find
them....Besides there are sharks...Some could spot the mess from up there.
The two men enter the Masters Cabin, and a small space in the bow of the yacht
that was used for gear stowage, behind the couch. They drug the man first into
the hold, tied him up in netting, then they went and drug Sarah Majors forward
the same way, and then put more netting over them in hopes to hide them.
Once that was done they walked to the bridge.
EXE BRIDGE YACHT
BOSS (SPIKE): Mickie takes us to the cove.
MICKIE: Yeah boss what about the stuff?
BOSS (SPIKE): Its alright where it is....get us out of here.
********************************************************************************
EXT FRONT YARD GUESTHOUSE-DAY
Magnum walks from the front porch of the guesthouse.
(MAGNUM'S VOICE)
Enjoying retirement, being retired offically for a month felt like I wasn't
doing something that I should be doing.
I planned on an easy day, going up with TC and just unwind, after all twelve
years on a wheel its time to take it easy, and take TC up on the Chopper ride
that he had promised me I was going to take him up on.
HIGGINS: Magnum, where are you going?
MAGNUM: Well, since I have the new security system installed and working, well
Higgins you know...I worked on that new system all week, and I can't find a
thing wrong with it.
HIGGINS: Yes, Magnum I know, that isn't what I wanted, the new system works
fine.
MAGNUM: It isn't(puzzled) then what is it?
HIGGINS: There was a phone call for you at the main house LT. Porter.
MAGNUM: LT. Porter!
HIGGINS: Yes, she said to tell you to call her at the NIA office.
MAGNUM: She say why?
HIGGINS: No, just to tell you when I saw you.
MAGNUM: Thanks Higgins...You didn't see me...(grins)
HIGGINS: I wish you would please give her the phone number for the guest house
since that is where you live.
MAGNUM: I will, I didn't think she would be calling this soon, thats why I
didn't give her the number, wait! I did give her the number Higgins, So if you
will excuse me I am leaving.
HIGGINS: To see Lt Porter?
MAGNUM: No, I am going to the Bellows, gotta see TC.
HIGGINS: By the way Magnum I am going shopping, do you need anything?
MAGNUM: No, thanks Higgins for asking.
Magnum turns and walks to the Black vette parked in the driveway.
*****************************************************************************
EXT COAST HIGHWAY-OCEAN
(Wide view) Magnum drives north along the coast highway the ocean on his rigt
and the right turn off.( pan view of ocean) As the sun reflected back in the
face of Magnum.
He turned right on the new paved road that led to the airport, gone were the
days for TC when only had one to keep in the air and rent space to park it, an
office space,
As he neared the parkinglot the view of the ocean was calm and blue with the
surf moving slowly towards the shoreline, and the white sandy beach.
The office building was in sight, and the parking lot had TC's van, a Blue Jeep
Wrangler, and a Tan sedan, he pulled in and parked beside the Jeep.
EXT: CHARTER SERVICE OFFICE BUILDING-PARKING LOT
Magnum opens the car door steped out and walked to the front door, a screen door
and the inner door was open. As he walked in there was a man talking on the phone,
so Magnum walked over to the wall and looked at the picture, it was a Picture of
Magnum, TC, Rick, Lt. Jack Call, BMC J.T. McNabb, and some other members in the
background, who made up Magnums intelligence unit.
Lt. Call was the Commander of the PGR unit as well, when Magnum reported for
duty Call was his CO, just days before Call was killed had been promoted to LTCDR,
and was due to rotate back to the states.
As he looked at the picture flasbacks of that time raced through his mind, and
twenty-five years ago the fall of Saigon, and the pull out the American forces
left Vietnam.
(MAGNUMS VOICE)
The team had split up two weeks before the pullout, now it was time to get all
Americans and Dependants out of Vietnam as the ships stood off from the coast
we waited for the choppers to take the people to the ships. And you know already
the rest of the story. Leaving was a hard thing to have to do.
In deep thought and didn't at first hear the voice.
CHUCK SHAW: Magnum isn't it?
MAGNUM: What....Yes, I am sorry I didn't hear you, just looking back, this
picture brings back alot of memories, things that happen a long time ago.
CHUCK SHAW: You have the same look on your face as TC gets when he looks at it,
you guys must have had a time over there.
MAGNUM: Yeah, it had its moments, by the way where's TC?
We had some good times and some bad times, but that was then and this is now.
(looking out the window)
*******************************************************************************
CHUCK SHAW: Lets see (as he looks at the clipboard) he had a charter and should
be back about anytime now.
MAGNUM: Were you over there?
CHUCK SHAW: Yeah, did two tours, I was in the Seabees.
MAGNUM: Doing what?
CHUCK SHAW: Was an EOH1, dozer's, went a few places, helped set up fire bases,
sometimes the things just come back and hit you in the face, but I try to forget
it you know?
MAGNUM: Yeah, I know what you mean.
CHUCK SHAW: Names Charlie Shaw everyone around here just calls me chuck.
MAGNUM: Thomas Magnun formerly USN, formerly a Captain.
The phone rang again and Magnum set down on the corner of the desk.
( Chuck wrote down on the name of some people who wanted a charter.)
CHUCK SHAW: Some Tourists. (pause) Did you ever go back, for a visit?
To Nam, I mean?
MAGNUM: Was back, spent two years in country to try and find, idenitify and
send back some of the MIA's and had some luck.
CHUCK SHAW: Tried to make a difference?
MAGNUM: Yes, I would like to think so, but now someone else has to do that job.
CHUCK SHAW: Would think so, the families needed to know the answers, right?
Magnum turns and looks out the window the sound of a Helicoptor was getting
louder as it grew closer and going to land.
INT OFFICE MAGNUMS VIEW AS CHOPPER LANDS
The chopper landed and the blades stopped turning, the man inside shut the
switchs off and the blades stopped, two men TC and his passenger stepped out,
TC shut his door and walked around to the front of the Chopper and waited for
his passenger.
EXT LANDING AREA OFFICE BUILDING PARKING LOT
TC: Well that takes care of tour.
PASSENGER: Thank you Mr Calvin, I did find some spots that I really think my
company will be interested in.
TC: Just glad I knew where you wanted to go, your welcome.
The Passenger shook hands with TC as the split up TC starts to walk towards the
building the male passenger towards the parking lot.
********************************************************************************
TC stops and watched the man get into his car, he walked a little slower, the
man backs out and drives off. TC then turns and walks back to his chopper, he
wants to look it over because he knows that he took fire from that boat.
Close on Chopper tail section left side)
TC looks in the area just under the rear rotor, and there it was a hole, he had
been hit, he turns and walks back to the office.
INT OFFICE
TC comes in the office walks over to the desk, lays his clipboard down on the
desk.
TC: Hey Thomas,I was just thinking when you would be around for that ride.
MAGNUM: Well been busy, Higgins has found me things to keep me busy, sware he
saved them up for 12 years (laughing).
TC: Yeah, "old Higgy" by the way Chuck any calls?
CHUCK SHAW: There were several, one I listed for next week just came in some
tourists.
TC: Thats good, business is really up, I had to hire another pilot last month
had so much, a lot of tourists this time of the year.
CHUCK SHAW: These people are in Virginia and will be here next Tuesday and
wanted to see about Thursday, and its was open so I marked them in.
TC: That will work, by the way Thomas ready to fly?
MAGNUM: Yeah, sure ready if you are, thats what I'm here for.
TC: Then lets go, before Higgins calls from the estate and has found you some
more work that needs done now.(laughs)
MAGNUN: Yeah, all kinds of cute little jobs, (both laughing)
They walked to the door and walk towards the hanger TC had already brought the
old Island Hopper out and had washed and waxed it, it looked brand new.
They reached the chopper. TC stops and looks at Magnum.
TC: Thomas someone shot at me, and hit the bird I was flying.
MAGNUM: You sure? Yeah you would know.
TC: Real sure, come I'll show you.
MAGNUM: Did you report it?
TC: No, I wanted to check the bird first, didn't think I was hit till I landed.
They walked to the other chopper across the landing area.
*******************************************************************************
Magnum looking at the tail.
TC: Whats that look like to you?
MAGNUM: Who shot at you?
TC: Some men on a boat.
MAGNUM: What boat...Where?
TC: About 30 miles from here, on my way in.
MAGNUM: I would like to take a look.
TC: I don't know if it would still be be there, but we can fly out there and see.
MAGNUM: Got your camera?
TC: No, but I will go back and get it.
TC walks back to the office to pick up his camera.
INT OFFICE
TC opens the door to the office, and walks to his private office to the desk,
opens a drawer and gets his brand new 35mm super range camera.
TC: Chuck stick by the radio I will tell you why when I get to where I am going.
CHUCK SHAW: Why whats up?
TC: Will tell you later.
TC walks back to the door, and back to the chopper, Magnum was looking the old
bird over.
TC: Ok, Thomas lets get in the air.
INT CHOPPER
Magnum gets in shuts the door, and it really feels good to be in the air again.
TC: We will be over the place pretty soon now.
MAGNUM: TC, what kind of boat are we looking for?
TC: A yacht, a big one, had sails.
MAGNUM: Thats all? just a big yacht?
TC: Yeah, thats it, we should be able to find it as long as the light holds.
Going to be getting dark, should have left the camera in the other charter.
MAGNUM: Well, so you didn't, whats the big deal?
TC: I forgot the chart, I penciled the spot in on that chart, would have helped.
MAGNUM: Who knows TC it could still be there.
**********************************************************************************
EXT-OCEAN
They reach the spot where TC thought they would find the yacht, but all they
found was empty ocean.
MAGNUM: What direction was it heading?
TC: Towards the club marina I would have to say.
MAGNUM: Then lets check out the club marina.
TC changes course and started back in the direction of the club marina, and it
would have to be between them and the boat marina.
MAGNUM: Can you remember anything about the boat, the name or anything that
might help.
TC: No, it was there and I was past it before I realilized I had been shot at.
(TC becomes quiet as he looks for the boat)
EXT VIEW OCEAN AND MOTOR YACHT
In Magnum and TC's view was the yacht it had been drifing with the tide moving
towards the marina.
TC: Better call the coast guard Thomas. That boat is the one that shot at me and
there isn't anyone on the wheel.
MAGNUM: Yeah call the coast guard, and then get me down as close as you can to
the deck.
TC: You didn't go over the edge on me Thomas did you?
MAGNUN: No, take me down, someone may be hurt down there.
TC: Coast Guard, Coast Guard, Island Hoppers Charter ONE.
VOICE (over Radio): Go ahead Charter one.
TC: You have a Dead in the water, yacht position, bearing is about 12 miles
Northeast of the point near the Dolphin Park. May want to send a cutter, will
stand by.
TC lowered the chopper Magnum goes out on the land pad of the chopper and watched
as the boat below tosses and rolls in the ocean below him.
He was less than eight feet from the deck, as close as he would get. He jumps
to the boat below him.
******************************************************************************
EXT-YACHT
Magnum walks to the the hatch and looks down inside and goes below, he finds
it normal. There was no one on board TC had returned to a safer altitude, where
he waited for the cutter, which would take 30 minutes before it would arrive.
INT-BELOW-CABINS
He walked through the boat, looked in all the cabins, and found nothing, the
master cabin, looked as it should, except for a large blood stain on the floor
at the foot of the bed. He touched the blood stain and it was still damp, and
hadn't dried completely. He walks back through the boat forward and back up on
deck where he would wait for the coast guard to arrive.
MAGNUM: TC meet me at the club Marina (he yells)
TC: (Acknowledged with a yeah)
TC turns the chopper and heads back for the airport as he looks down he sees
a coast guard cutter making headway at flank speed, he knew that Magnum wouldn't
be on board to long now till the coast guard would arrive.

has happen here.
MAGNUM: Sure, I will just follow along with you if you don't mind.

picture of what you found here.
MAGNUM: I'll try to help, but there was a sign that something happen in the
masters cabin.
1st OFFICER: Like what?
MAGNUM: Theres a blood stain on that rug, which would suggest that someone was
hurt.
1st OFFICER: By the way for our report we need your name.

MAGNUM: When they leave we are going back on board and do some more looking.
TC: Your on to something aren't you?
MAGNUM: I will know that when I find it.
TC: What do you want to do first?
MAGNUM: The coast guard officers TC, just really didn't seemed interested.
So we do our own search.
Magnum and TC walked towards the club entrance, as the hear the cutter start its
engines and get underway. They stopped, turned, and began to walk back to the
Blue and White Yacht.
MAGNUM: When we on the boat get the boats registration and lets find out who
owns this.
INT YACHT-CABIN LIGHTS
Magnum and TC walked through the boat and split up in the living room, Magnum
walked to the Chart table, as he looked at the chart the naviagation showed that
the boat had left Oaho, and was in route to California.
Now when Magnum got the information on the registration he would know at least
who was the owner was.
Magnum looked at the Boat log, and found that there were some missing pages which
had been cut out, and the last entry crossed out.
MAGNUMS VOICE
I was Satisfied with the Chart room, and went back to see what if TC found.
MAGNUM: ANY luck TC?
TC: No, but it would help if I knew what I was looking for.
MAGNUM: I found the log book, there are missing pages, appear to have been cut
out, and the last entry was crossed out.

They are now in the master cabin the blood stain on the rug in front of the bed
was a puzzle, some body was hurt bad this was what was on Ricks mind.

Magnum puzzled walks slowly through the master cabin forward where the cabin came
to a point as in reference to the shape of the exterior of the boat, in front was
a couch that went up so far from the deck to the overhead.
They spent over and hour looking through the boat, other than the master cabin
which had been trashed the boat was well kept, and from the Log book built in

shot at me.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Thank you Mr. Calvin, now Mr Magnum lets have your statement.
MAGNUM: TC, Mr. Calvin, told me about being shot at, so we flew back to the
scene where the shooting took place, that is where as I had Mr. Calvin inform
the Coast Guard and then found the inside master cabin as it was.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Magnum that name sounds familiar to me, I remember there was a
Thomas Magnum who was a Private Investigator here some years ago, you wouldn't
be that Thomas Magnum by any chance?
MAGNUM: Yes I am that Thomas Magnum.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Ok Mr. Calvin, Mr Magnum we have your statements and we know
where to reach you if we need you, that will do it for now and thanks again for

RICK: Man what took you guys so long?
TC: Rick, you know how police reports have to be so exact.
RICK: Yeah I know and why do you need the boat Thomas, said you would explain.

know after that, so lets get underway.

plotting on the chart where the yacht was when they found it.
INT-CABIN CRUISER BRIDGE
The cabin cruiser was dead in the water over the site where TC and Magnum found
the boat.
MAGNUM: What ever this is about may be on the bottom. So I am going down and
take a look around.
RICK: I did some more checking Thomas seems like about the time you left in 88,
the CHINGS moved into "LITTLE SAIGON", they would be big enough to run this size
of operation, so it was a big buy Thomas.
TC: Drugs from China, and maybe the deal went bad.
MAGNUM: Could be TC, that could be the answer and maybe, just maybe you did see
something, or those guys think you saw something.
TC: Yeah but if I did I don't remember, sorry.
MAGNUM: Rick before we left I forgot to ask, but do you still keep those suba
tanks on board?
RICK: Yeah, there up in the locker, I'll go get them.
Rick leaves the bridge and is walking forward to the gear locker, he opens the
door and gets two tanks and fins, he walks back to just below the bridge.
RICK: Here's the gear Thomas.
MAGNUM: Thanks Rick.
Magnum climbs down the ladder from the bridge, changes from his cloths to a wet
suit cloths and puts the air tanks on. walks to the rail.
MAGNUM: OK I will be back and let you know whats down there.
Magnum flips over the side and swims down near the bottom he can see what he
thinks are crates, he swims towards them and lets a marker raise to the surface.
RICK: Hey, TC, he found something.
TC: Yeah but what?
(MAGNUNS POINT OF VIEW)
Magnum looks the crates over they can be brought aboard the cabin cruiser just
had to rig a way on the boat to pull them up, he swims back to the surface and
to the boat.
MAGNUM: Rick, TC, there are two crates down there, the have MAJORS LTD on them
so thats what we got to bring up, so we have to rig a hoist.
RICK: Why don't we just use the Anchor windless and bring them up that way?
MAGNUM: That might work, you have any rope heavy enough for that job?
RICK: Yeah I'll go get it.
******************************************************************************
TC: They must have thrown them over just as I got there, and they think I saw
them dump the stuff.
MAGNUM: That would be my guess, soon as Rick gets back I will go back over and
see what was so interesting to get you shot at.
Rick returns with some rope and a set of two blocks to hoist the crates from
the water to the deck. Magnum TC and Rick use the next forty five minutes
rigging the means to raise the crates.
MAGNUM: Rick move the boat just up to the marker, that will make it easier.
RICK: Yeah, nods with agreement
Magnum returns to the bottom, and hooks up the crarte, he then pulls on the rope
to signal that those on the boat could bring the first crate up.
TC: There's the signal Rick, lets see what kind of fish we got.
Rick turned the switch on that operates the windless, it began to turn and bring
the first crate up, it breaks the surface.
(Magnum watch's the crate raise and is on the surface.)
Magnum waits for the rope to come back down to him. When it reaches him he hooks
it up as he did the one before, pulls on the rope to signal Rick and TC to bring
the crate up. He follows this one up, and reaches the surface and swims to the
stern ladder that would need to used to board the boat.
EXT CABIN CRUISER
Rick and TC move the crates away from the rail, then restore the windless back to
raising and lowering the anchor. Magnum walks from the stern to the bow where
Rick, TC and the crates were.
MAGNUN: Now that that is done lets take a look inside these crates.
RICK: These lids aren't to tight, need something to lift the lid with.
TC: A hammer or crow bar will do that job, still have that in the gear locker
Rick?
RICK: Same place TC, should be there still.
TC walks to the stern and the gear locker, opens the door and gets the hammer
and crow bar out, shuts the door and walks back to Magnum and Rick, Magnum had
just finished dressing and was checking the gages on the tanks they would need
refilled.
MAGNUM: When TC gets back we will crack one of these crates open.
TC: Shouldn't have to wait much longer I am back.
RICK: Well here goes.
Rick takes the crowbar slips it under the lid and lifts the lid, they look in and
find straw. Rick push the straw around found something guys, pulls out a small
wooden box slids the lid back and in side was a China Doll.
*******************************************************************************
TC: A China Doll Rick?
RICK: I don't believe this.
Rick takes the doll and hands it to Magnum.
MAGNUM: A China Doll, little china dolls.
RICK: Maybe the secret is under the skirt.
MAGNUM: Could be.(sheepish grin)
Magnum takes the doll and raises the skirt, he twists the top of the doll and the
bottom. It comes apart and inside the doll were small cut diamonds.
TC: Diamonds!
MAGNUM: Sure are, and to find out just how many dolls there are like this one.
But we better get out of here for now. So lets head back in.
INT BRIDGE CABIN CRUISER
Rick is at the wheel, and watching Magnum who is in deep thought.
TC: Any Ideas Rick?
RICK: One, throw this stuff back over.
TC: Thomas must be trying to figure this out.
RICK: The police should be told about this.
TC: I will mentioned that to Thomas.
TC leaves the bridge and walks to the stern of the boat the crates were moved
back there.
TC: Thomas what we going to do now that we got this stuff?
MAGNUM: Thats easy, call the police when we get in, and give it to them.
EXT CABIN CRUISERS CLUB MARINA
Rick slows the cabin cruiser to make the port side landing to the dock, TC jumps
over to the dock taking the bow line with him to tie the boat. Rick throws the
stern line over and the boat is tied up.
TC starts to walk up the dock to the phone to call the police to report the find
of the crates.
TC walks slowly back down the dock to the cabin cruiser and steps on board.
Magnum looks up.
TC: The police will be right down.
MAGNUM: Hope they will be interested in what we found.
RICK: Yeah we are getting a bit to old for this.
TC: Who's getting old?
MAGNUM: We are TC, we all are, I was glad when that last crate was brought on
board.
RICK: When are them cops going to be here?
TC: Said right away
RICK: That could mean tomorrow, they don't move here as fast as they use to.
MAGNUM: Speaking of same here they are.
*****************************************************************************
Captain Sharp and two police officers walking down the dock to the cruiser.
TC: Thats Captain Sharp, he was here before when we brought the boat in.
MAGNUM: I Know.
RICK: Think he will believe us after all we found this stuff.
MAGNUN: Just have to run it by them and see what happens after we tell them,
it's a link.
TC: At least I know why I was shot at now, thats something.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Magnum what is it?
MAGNUM: Come on board and we will show you.
Sharp steps on board walks with Magnum back to the stern, Magnum takes the lid
off of one of the crates and takes out one of the small boxes.
CAPTAIN SHARP: China dolls Magnum?(pissed)
MAGNUM: Not just China dolls, they'er filled with diamonds.
CAPTAIN SHARP: What dimonds?
MAGNUM: Here take this one and take it apart.
Captain Sharp took the doll and turned the top and took it apart as Magnum did.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Damn, how many?
MAGNUM: Don't really know, just know there are two crates.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Where did you find this stuff?
MAGNUM: The same place we found the boat.
CAPTAIN SHARP: That fits the owners registration we ran on the boat, the Owner
of the boat was also in the Import Export business.
MAGNUM: I didn't see anything on the bottom that showed the owner was dead.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Ok Magnum thanks, and we have your statement so now all we have
to do is take this stuff in to the station.
Magnum, Rick and TC left the Clubs Cabin Cruiser and started walking back up
the pier to the club.
RICK: Anyone want a cold beer?
MAGNUM: Yeah! Been a long day.
*********************************************************************************
EXT BEACH AT CLUB-OUTSIDE TABLE AREA
Magnum Rick and TC walk to a table close to the Bar, Rick walks to the bar and
orders two beers, an a coffee for TC.
TC: That Blood on the boat Thomas, are we missing something?
MAGNUM: I don't really know, its almost 7 o'clock think we should call it a day.
TC: Maybe now a murder?
MAGNUM: We don't know that TC, besides, this is up to the police to take apart
and find out what happen.
TC: The police what about us Thomas what has happen to you? In the old days you
would have been already two steps ahead of the police.
MAGNUM: I just think that its really up to the police thats all, and we don't
have nothing to go on anyway, at least not that much.
Rick walks back to the table and sets the beer down, he looks at TC and Magnum
with a puzzled look.
RICK: Did I miss something?
TC: Thomas here thinks the police should handle all of this.
RICK: One thing for sure with all that blood on the rug, someone was at least
hurt bad.
MAGNUM: Yes and for all we know maybe at the hospital right now enjoying their
rest, besides someone just maybe looking for those crates. So, what you want to
do put those crates back? Or at least something that will look like the crates that
were dropped over the side, and we will be around when who ever dropped them over
comes to to get them.
EXT KING KAMEHAMEHA CLUB
MAGNUM: Ok, Ok lets go back to the boat and one last time we will just look some
more. (agreeable)
Magnum Rick and TC walk back to the boat.
MAGNUM'S VOICE: Maybe we could have missed something, something that 12 years ago
I would have spotted.
EXT YACHT
They stepped aboard, and this time they walk single file through the boat to the
Master Cabin where the only sign of a fight or murder would have happen.
MAGNUM: Rick your really into boats where should we look?
RICK: I don't know but where ever that smell is coming from would be the best
place to start (pointing to the back of the couch)
TC: Yeah, I already know call the police right?
MAGNUM: Thats right?
******************************************************************************
Magnum looks down at the floor.
RICK: I have smelled that same smell before, and you both have to.
MAGNUM: We better go topside and wait for the police we already know what it is
and well maybe it would be better to wait and on the pier right?
By now the smell was through the boat, and as they stepped on deck and walked
away from the hatch, the smell was still there.
TC phoned the police and walked back to the boat.
TC: The police are on their way and Captain Sharp isn't to happy,
wonders why no
one reported this earlier, told him we just found it ourselves.
MAGNUM: I don't know what the problem is we weren't on the boat today and neither
were they, until now.
RICK: See why we should have done this ourselves. (upset)
TC: Yeah, Rick's right.
MAGNUM: When the police get here we leave, or at least I am.
RICK: Thomas get ready then here are the police coming down the pier.
Captain Sharp and two uniformed police officers reach the boat.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Where is this body?
MAGNUM: Follow us Dectective Sharp.
INT MOTOR SAILOR-LIVING ROOM
CAPTAIN SHARP: See what you ment Mr. Calvin.
RICK: My best bet is the body is in the storage space behind that couch.
CAPTAIN SHARP: You two officers see what we have, and Magnum you and the two
others wait topside for us.
MAGNUM: Sure Captain, on or off the boat?
CAPTAIN SHARP: The pier would work.
Magnum, Rick and TC walk the length of the boat through the living room up the
four steps to the outside of the boat, and walk off the boat to the pier.
EXT BOAT PIER-MOTOR SAILOR
Magnum looks at the concret at his feet, and Rick is watching the boat, TC is
sitting on a crate.
TC: Thomas I got what we can use to look like the crates we brought in here.
MAGNUM: What those crates your sitting on?
********************************************************************************
TC: Yeah I can take two of these crates, paint them up some and they will never
know anything was moved.
RICK: That would work if they haven't already found out the suff was moved.
MAGNUM: That will work we'll just take the fake ones out drop them over, and
wait and see what happens.
A short time later Captain Sharp came up on deck and walks to where Magnum Rick
and TC are waiting.
CAPTAIN SHARP: The two bodies down there looks as if we found the owner Jay
Major's, he and his wife both were shot. Now I have to call medical examiner and
try to put together what happen.
MAGNUM: Do you need us any longer if not we would like to leave.
CAPTAIN SHARP: No I don't need you guys, we have all your statements so that will
do it from this point.
Sharp starts to turn and walk aways stops.
By the way thanks but Magnum, I have to ask you to stay out of this, this is a
police investigation.
MAGNUN: Yeah we know that.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Magnum I was just a rookie and I do remember some of your messes,
don't make any mistakes, I can't figure out first you find the boat, then you
find diamonds and now the bodies.
MAGNUM: So whats the problem?
CAPTAIN SHARP: You Magnum, like I said I still remember you when you were a
Private Investigator here. You did drive the police department crazy, but now
stay out of this we can do our jobs.
MAGNUM: Look Sharp, I just retired from the Navy, I'm just trying to find out
why my friend was shot at, and enjoy my retirement.
POLICE OFFICER: Captain, we found the females purse she is Sarah Majors, and is
the wife of Jay Majors, she was shot at least three times.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Ok, log it in on your report sheet.
Magnum Rick and TC leave the boat and start walking back to the club.
TC: Whats got his back up?
MAGNUM: Maybe we are doing better than the police are on this case.
RICK: How about a beer guys?
MAGNUM: We better first get those crates made up and put back before we have a
party over it.
RICK/TC: Your right.
RICK: Think I have just what we need in the trash, we will just make them up,
put them on the boat, and that part of it is done.
TC: Its getting late, so the first thing in the morning we will get out to the
site and then have to see what happens.

From the enclosed wheel command center to the hatch leading to the cabins below,

he liked what he saw so they walked aft through down the passage way leading to
the other three cabins.
Walking back to the living room and Galley, which had a microwave oven, stove

Magnum takes the turns of the cleat on the boat forward, and flips it over the
ballard on the pier, that was the first bite the forward line was singled up,
goes back to the stern and does the same thing but there takes in all the lines.
walks forward and the boat starts to move with the current, so he takes the line

it up. Spike engages the anchor windless and pulls the first crate up it breaks
the surface, soon they have it on deck.
Spike sends the line back down, and George hooks the second crate up, and the
same procedure was used as with the first one.
George and Ripper follow the last crate up.
MICKEY: These crates don't look right to me.
SPIKE: Could be because they were under water.
RIPPPER: No, Mickey's right they aren't as big.

The sails were down as the Moter Yacht lay dead in the water, on deck there
were two men, and below deck three men and one women. The Yacht was enroute
from Hilo to Los Angeles.
The owner of yacht was in the import-export business, Jay Majors was 40 years
of age, on this trip he brought his wife Sarah 35 a Japanese American with him
on this trip to Hawaii.
Things were different once they reached the waters around Hawaii as two of the
crew members was a member of a gang that was after the Jewels.
The diamonds had the worth of five million dollars, and packed in several crates
of small China Dolls.
INT YACHT FORWARD CABIN

THUG#1: Shut up, get in there.
SARAH MAJORS: They are going to kill us Jay.
JAY MAJORS: Yes they are ( putting his right arm around her)
THUG#1: Ok in the closet both of you, now.
Jay Majors takes a chance, he grabes the Thugs hand and swings with his
other hand hitting the thug in the Jaw with his fist.
In the short struggle the gun goes off twice both shots stike Sarah Majors she
falls to the deck, beside the bed. Two more shots ring out and Jay Majors is hit
and falls in front of the closet.

RIPPER: We ought to just dump them over the side, and be rid of it.
BOSS (SPIKE): No we will stuff them in the forward hold, and no one will find
them....Besides there are sharks...Some could spot the mess from up there.
The two men enter the Masters Cabin, and a small space in the bow of the yacht
that was used for gear stowage, behind the couch. They drug the man first into
the hold, tied him up in netting, then they went and drug Sarah Majors forward
the same way, and then put more netting over them in hopes to hide them.
Once that was done they walked to the bridge.

Enjoying retirement, being retired offically for a month felt like I wasn't
doing something that I should be doing.
I planned on an easy day, going up with TC and just unwind, after all twelve
years on a wheel its time to take it easy, and take TC up on the Chopper ride
that he had promised me I was going to take him up on.
HIGGINS: Magnum, where are you going?
MAGNUM: Well, since I have the new security system installed and working, well
Higgins you know...I worked on that new system all week, and I can't find a
thing wrong with it.
HIGGINS: Yes, Magnum I know, that isn't what I wanted, the new system works
fine.
MAGNUM: It isn't(puzzled) then what is it?
HIGGINS: There was a phone call for you at the main house LT. Porter.

didn't give her the number, wait! I did give her the number Higgins, So if you
will excuse me I am leaving.

EXT COAST HIGHWAY-OCEAN
(Wide view) Magnum drives north along the coast highway the ocean on his rigt
and the right turn off.( pan view of ocean) As the sun reflected back in the
face of Magnum.
He turned right on the new paved road that led to the airport, gone were the
days for TC when only had one to keep in the air and rent space to park it, an
office space,
As he neared the parkinglot the view of the ocean was calm and blue with the
surf moving slowly towards the shoreline, and the white sandy beach.
The office building was in sight, and the parking lot had TC's van, a Blue Jeep
Wrangler, and a Tan sedan, he pulled in and parked beside the Jeep.
EXT: CHARTER SERVICE OFFICE BUILDING-PARKING LOT
Magnum opens the car door steped out and walked to the front door, a screen door
and the inner door was open. As he walked in there was a man talking on the phone,
so Magnum walked over to the wall and looked at the picture, it was a Picture of
Magnum, TC, Rick, Lt. Jack Call, BMC J.T. McNabb, and some other members in the
background, who made up Magnums intelligence unit.
Lt. Call was the Commander of the PGR unit as well, when Magnum reported for
duty Call was his CO, just days before Call was killed had been promoted to LTCDR,
and was due to rotate back to the states.
As he looked at the picture flasbacks of that time raced through his mind, and
twenty-five years ago the fall of Saigon, and the pull out the American forces
left Vietnam.
(MAGNUMS VOICE)
The team had split up two weeks before the pullout, now it was time to get all
Americans and Dependants out of Vietnam as the ships stood off from the coast
we waited for the choppers to take the people to the ships. And you know already
the rest of the story. Leaving was a hard thing to have to do.
In deep thought and didn't at first hear the voice.
CHUCK SHAW: Magnum isn't it?
MAGNUM: What....Yes, I am sorry I didn't hear you, just looking back, this
picture brings back alot of memories, things that happen a long time ago.
CHUCK SHAW: You have the same look on your face as TC gets when he looks at it,
you guys must have had a time over there.
MAGNUM: Yeah, it had its moments, by the way where's TC?
We had some good times and some bad times, but that was then and this is now.
(looking out the window)

it you know?
MAGNUM: Yeah, I know what you mean.
CHUCK SHAW: Names Charlie Shaw everyone around here just calls me chuck.
MAGNUM: Thomas Magnun formerly USN, formerly a Captain.
The phone rang again and Magnum set down on the corner of the desk.
( Chuck wrote down on the name of some people who wanted a charter.)
CHUCK SHAW: Some Tourists. (pause) Did you ever go back, for a visit?
To Nam, I mean?
MAGNUM: Was back, spent two years in country to try and find, idenitify and
send back some of the MIA's and had some luck.
CHUCK SHAW: Tried to make a difference?
MAGNUM: Yes, I would like to think so, but now someone else has to do that job.
CHUCK SHAW: Would think so, the families needed to know the answers, right?
Magnum turns and looks out the window the sound of a Helicoptor was getting
louder as it grew closer and going to land.
INT OFFICE MAGNUMS VIEW AS CHOPPER LANDS

man backs out and drives off. TC then turns and walks back to his chopper, he
wants to look it over because he knows that he took fire from that boat.

They reached the chopper. TC stops and looks at Magnum.
TC: Thomas someone shot at me, and hit the bird I was flying.
MAGNUM: You sure? Yeah you would know.
TC: Real sure, come I'll show you.
MAGNUM: Did you report it?
TC: No, I wanted to check the bird first, didn't think I was hit till I landed.

TC: A yacht, a big one, had sails.
MAGNUM: Thats all? just a big yacht?
TC: Yeah, thats it, we should be able to find it as long as the light holds.
Going to be getting dark, should have left the camera in the other charter.

They reach the spot where TC thought they would find the yacht, but all they
found was empty ocean.
MAGNUM: What direction was it heading?
TC: Towards the club marina I would have to say.
MAGNUM: Then lets check out the club marina.
TC changes course and started back in the direction of the club marina, and it
would have to be between them and the boat marina.
MAGNUM: Can you remember anything about the boat, the name or anything that
might help.
TC: No, it was there and I was past it before I realilized I had been shot at.
(TC becomes quiet as he looks for the boat)
EXT VIEW OCEAN AND MOTOR YACHT
In Magnum and TC's view was the yacht it had been drifing with the tide moving
towards the marina.
TC: Better call the coast guard Thomas. That boat is the one that shot at me and
there isn't anyone on the wheel.
MAGNUM: Yeah call the coast guard, and then get me down as close as you can to
the deck.
TC: You didn't go over the edge on me Thomas did you?
MAGNUN: No, take me down, someone may be hurt down there.

as the boat below tosses and rolls in the ocean below him.
He was less than eight feet from the deck, as close as he would get. He jumps
to the boat below him.

He walked through the boat, looked in all the cabins, and found nothing, the
master cabin, looked as it should, except for a large blood stain on the floor
at the foot of the bed. He touched the blood stain and it was still damp, and
hadn't dried completely. He walks back through the boat forward and back up on
deck where he would wait for the coast guard to arrive.
MAGNUM: TC meet me at the club Marina (he yells)
TC: (Acknowledged with a yeah)
TC turns the chopper and heads back for the airport as he looks down he sees

walked to the Chart table, as he looked at the chart the naviagation showed that
the boat had left Oaho, and was in route to California.
Now when Magnum got the information on the registration he would know at least
who was the owner was.
Magnum looked at the Boat log, and found that there were some missing pages which
had been cut out, and the last entry crossed out.
MAGNUMS VOICE
I was Satisfied with the Chart room, and went back to see what if TC found.
MAGNUM: ANY luck TC?
TC: No, but it would help if I knew what I was looking for.
MAGNUM: I found the log book, there are missing pages, appear to have been cut
out, and the last entry was crossed out.
TC: I don't know man. (puzzled)
MAGNUM: Lets go see Rick, see if he can find anything about this boat.

cabins as the walked the lenght of the boat.
They are now in the master cabin the blood stain on the rug in front of the bed
was a puzzle, some body was hurt bad this was what was on Ricks mind.
MAGNUM: Rick, TC, lets check all the closets.
Magnum puzzled walks slowly through the master cabin forward where the cabin came
to a point as in reference to the shape of the exterior of the boat, in front was
a couch that went up so far from the deck to the overhead.
They spent over and hour looking through the boat, other than the master cabin
which had been trashed the boat was well kept, and from the Log book built in
December 1999. Magnum goes back top side and waits for Rick and TC.

*******************************************************************************
CAPTAIN SHARP: Mr. Calvin, Mr Magnun glad you could make it so quickly.
TC: What can we do for you Captain?
CAPTAIN SHARP: Start at the begining Mr. Calvin, as you can remember.
TC: I was flying in after a charter was about 12 miles out, when I flew over
this motor sailor, a person standing just to the right of the steering wheel
shot at me.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Thank you Mr. Calvin, now Mr Magnum lets have your statement.
MAGNUM: TC, Mr. Calvin, told me about being shot at, so we flew back to the
scene where the shooting took place, that is where as I had Mr. Calvin inform
the Coast Guard and then found the inside master cabin as it was.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Magnum that name sounds familiar to me, I remember there was a
Thomas Magnum who was a Private Investigator here some years ago, you wouldn't
be that Thomas Magnum by any chance?
MAGNUM: Yes I am that Thomas Magnum.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Ok Mr. Calvin, Mr Magnum we have your statements and we know
where to reach you if we need you, that will do it for now and thanks again for
coming down.
TC and Magnum walked to the clubs cabin cruiser, Rick was waiting on board.
EXT CABIN CRUISER
Rick was sitting at the stern of the cruiser when TC and Magnum came aboard.
RICK: Man what took you guys so long?
TC: Rick, you know how police reports have to be so exact.
RICK: Yeah I know and why do you need the boat Thomas, said you would explain.
MAGNUM: We are going back out to that spot where we found the yacht, and I don't
know after that, so lets get underway.
EXT CABIN CRUISER AT SEA
The cruiser was cutting through the water Magnum and TC are looking at the chart,
plotting on the chart where the yacht was when they found it.
INT-CABIN CRUISER BRIDGE
The cabin cruiser was dead in the water over the site where TC and Magnum found
the boat.
MAGNUM: What ever this is about may be on the bottom. So I am going down and
take a look around.
RICK: I did some more checking Thomas seems like about the time you left in 88,
the CHINGS moved into "LITTLE SAIGON", they would be big enough to run this size
of operation, so it was a big buy Thomas.
TC: Drugs from China, and maybe the deal went bad.
MAGNUM: Could be TC, that could be the answer and maybe, just maybe you did see
something, or those guys think you saw something.
TC: Yeah but if I did I don't remember, sorry.
MAGNUM: Rick before we left I forgot to ask, but do you still keep those suba
tanks on board?
RICK: Yeah, there up in the locker, I'll go get them.
Rick leaves the bridge and is walking forward to the gear locker, he opens the
door and gets two tanks and fins, he walks back to just below the bridge.
RICK: Here's the gear Thomas.
MAGNUM: Thanks Rick.
Magnum climbs down the ladder from the bridge, changes from his cloths to a wet
suit cloths and puts the air tanks on. walks to the rail.
MAGNUM: OK I will be back and let you know whats down there.
Magnum flips over the side and swims down near the bottom he can see what he
thinks are crates, he swims towards them and lets a marker raise to the surface.
RICK: Hey, TC, he found something.
TC: Yeah but what?
(MAGNUNS POINT OF VIEW)
Magnum looks the crates over they can be brought aboard the cabin cruiser just
had to rig a way on the boat to pull them up, he swims back to the surface and
to the boat.
MAGNUM: Rick, TC, there are two crates down there, the have MAJORS LTD on them
so thats what we got to bring up, so we have to rig a hoist.
RICK: Why don't we just use the Anchor windless and bring them up that way?
MAGNUM: That might work, you have any rope heavy enough for that job?
RICK: Yeah I'll go get it.
******************************************************************************
TC: They must have thrown them over just as I got there, and they think I saw
them dump the stuff.
MAGNUM: That would be my guess, soon as Rick gets back I will go back over and
see what was so interesting to get you shot at.
Rick returns with some rope and a set of two blocks to hoist the crates from
the water to the deck. Magnum TC and Rick use the next forty five minutes
rigging the means to raise the crates.
MAGNUM: Rick move the boat just up to the marker, that will make it easier.
RICK: Yeah, nods with agreement
Magnum returns to the bottom, and hooks up the crarte, he then pulls on the rope
to signal that those on the boat could bring the first crate up.
TC: There's the signal Rick, lets see what kind of fish we got.
Rick turned the switch on that operates the windless, it began to turn and bring
the first crate up, it breaks the surface.
(Magnum watch's the crate raise and is on the surface.)
Magnum waits for the rope to come back down to him. When it reaches him he hooks
it up as he did the one before, pulls on the rope to signal Rick and TC to bring
the crate up. He follows this one up, and reaches the surface and swims to the
stern ladder that would need to used to board the boat.
EXT CABIN CRUISER
Rick and TC move the crates away from the rail, then restore the windless back to
raising and lowering the anchor. Magnum walks from the stern to the bow where
Rick, TC and the crates were.
MAGNUN: Now that that is done lets take a look inside these crates.
RICK: These lids aren't to tight, need something to lift the lid with.
TC: A hammer or crow bar will do that job, still have that in the gear locker
Rick?
RICK: Same place TC, should be there still.
TC walks to the stern and the gear locker, opens the door and gets the hammer
and crow bar out, shuts the door and walks back to Magnum and Rick, Magnum had
just finished dressing and was checking the gages on the tanks they would need
refilled.
MAGNUM: When TC gets back we will crack one of these crates open.
TC: Shouldn't have to wait much longer I am back.
RICK: Well here goes.
Rick takes the crowbar slips it under the lid and lifts the lid, they look in and
find straw. Rick push the straw around found something guys, pulls out a small
wooden box slids the lid back and in side was a China Doll.
*******************************************************************************
TC: A China Doll Rick?
RICK: I don't believe this.
Rick takes the doll and hands it to Magnum.
MAGNUM: A China Doll, little china dolls.
RICK: Maybe the secret is under the skirt.
MAGNUM: Could be.(sheepish grin)
Magnum takes the doll and raises the skirt, he twists the top of the doll and the
bottom. It comes apart and inside the doll were small cut diamonds.
TC: Diamonds!
MAGNUM: Sure are, and to find out just how many dolls there are like this one.
But we better get out of here for now. So lets head back in.
INT BRIDGE CABIN CRUISER
Rick is at the wheel, and watching Magnum who is in deep thought.
TC: Any Ideas Rick?
RICK: One, throw this stuff back over.
TC: Thomas must be trying to figure this out.
RICK: The police should be told about this.
TC: I will mentioned that to Thomas.
TC leaves the bridge and walks to the stern of the boat the crates were moved
back there.
TC: Thomas what we going to do now that we got this stuff?
MAGNUM: Thats easy, call the police when we get in, and give it to them.
EXT CABIN CRUISERS CLUB MARINA
Rick slows the cabin cruiser to make the port side landing to the dock, TC jumps
over to the dock taking the bow line with him to tie the boat. Rick throws the
stern line over and the boat is tied up.
TC starts to walk up the dock to the phone to call the police to report the find
of the crates.
TC walks slowly back down the dock to the cabin cruiser and steps on board.
Magnum looks up.
TC: The police will be right down.
MAGNUM: Hope they will be interested in what we found.
RICK: Yeah we are getting a bit to old for this.
TC: Who's getting old?
MAGNUM: We are TC, we all are, I was glad when that last crate was brought on
board.
RICK: When are them cops going to be here?
TC: Said right away
RICK: That could mean tomorrow, they don't move here as fast as they use to.
MAGNUM: Speaking of same here they are.
*****************************************************************************
Captain Sharp and two police officers walking down the dock to the cruiser.
TC: Thats Captain Sharp, he was here before when we brought the boat in.
MAGNUM: I Know.
RICK: Think he will believe us after all we found this stuff.
MAGNUN: Just have to run it by them and see what happens after we tell them,
it's a link.
TC: At least I know why I was shot at now, thats something.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Magnum what is it?
MAGNUM: Come on board and we will show you.
Sharp steps on board walks with Magnum back to the stern, Magnum takes the lid
off of one of the crates and takes out one of the small boxes.
CAPTAIN SHARP: China dolls Magnum?(pissed)
MAGNUM: Not just China dolls, they'er filled with diamonds.
CAPTAIN SHARP: What dimonds?
MAGNUM: Here take this one and take it apart.
Captain Sharp took the doll and turned the top and took it apart as Magnum did.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Damn, how many?
MAGNUM: Don't really know, just know there are two crates.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Where did you find this stuff?
MAGNUM: The same place we found the boat.
CAPTAIN SHARP: That fits the owners registration we ran on the boat, the Owner
of the boat was also in the Import Export business.
MAGNUM: I didn't see anything on the bottom that showed the owner was dead.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Ok Magnum thanks, and we have your statement so now all we have
to do is take this stuff in to the station.
Magnum, Rick and TC left the Clubs Cabin Cruiser and started walking back up
the pier to the club.
RICK: Anyone want a cold beer?
MAGNUM: Yeah! Been a long day.
*********************************************************************************
EXT BEACH AT CLUB-OUTSIDE TABLE AREA
Magnum Rick and TC walk to a table close to the Bar, Rick walks to the bar and
orders two beers, an a coffee for TC.
TC: That Blood on the boat Thomas, are we missing something?
MAGNUM: I don't really know, its almost 7 o'clock think we should call it a day.
TC: Maybe now a murder?
MAGNUM: We don't know that TC, besides, this is up to the police to take apart
and find out what happen.
TC: The police what about us Thomas what has happen to you? In the old days you
would have been already two steps ahead of the police.
MAGNUM: I just think that its really up to the police thats all, and we don't
have nothing to go on anyway, at least not that much.
Rick walks back to the table and sets the beer down, he looks at TC and Magnum
with a puzzled look.
RICK: Did I miss something?
TC: Thomas here thinks the police should handle all of this.
RICK: One thing for sure with all that blood on the rug, someone was at least
hurt bad.
MAGNUM: Yes and for all we know maybe at the hospital right now enjoying their
rest, besides someone just maybe looking for those crates. So, what you want to
do put those crates back? Or at least something that will look like the crates that
were dropped over the side, and we will be around when who ever dropped them over
comes to to get them.
EXT KING KAMEHAMEHA CLUB
MAGNUM: Ok, Ok lets go back to the boat and one last time we will just look some
more. (agreeable)
Magnum Rick and TC walk back to the boat.
MAGNUM'S VOICE: Maybe we could have missed something, something that 12 years ago
I would have spotted.
EXT YACHT
They stepped aboard, and this time they walk single file through the boat to the
Master Cabin where the only sign of a fight or murder would have happen.
MAGNUM: Rick your really into boats where should we look?
RICK: I don't know but where ever that smell is coming from would be the best
place to start (pointing to the back of the couch)
TC: Yeah, I already know call the police right?
MAGNUM: Thats right?
******************************************************************************
Magnum looks down at the floor.
RICK: I have smelled that same smell before, and you both have to.
MAGNUM: We better go topside and wait for the police we already know what it is
and well maybe it would be better to wait and on the pier right?
By now the smell was through the boat, and as they stepped on deck and walked
away from the hatch, the smell was still there.
TC phoned the police and walked back to the boat.
TC: The police are on their way and Captain Sharp isn't to happy,
wonders why no
one reported this earlier, told him we just found it ourselves.
MAGNUM: I don't know what the problem is we weren't on the boat today and neither
were they, until now.
RICK: See why we should have done this ourselves. (upset)
TC: Yeah, Rick's right.
MAGNUM: When the police get here we leave, or at least I am.
RICK: Thomas get ready then here are the police coming down the pier.
Captain Sharp and two uniformed police officers reach the boat.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Where is this body?
MAGNUM: Follow us Dectective Sharp.
INT MOTOR SAILOR-LIVING ROOM
CAPTAIN SHARP: See what you ment Mr. Calvin.
RICK: My best bet is the body is in the storage space behind that couch.
CAPTAIN SHARP: You two officers see what we have, and Magnum you and the two
others wait topside for us.
MAGNUM: Sure Captain, on or off the boat?
CAPTAIN SHARP: The pier would work.
Magnum, Rick and TC walk the length of the boat through the living room up the
four steps to the outside of the boat, and walk off the boat to the pier.
EXT BOAT PIER-MOTOR SAILOR
Magnum looks at the concret at his feet, and Rick is watching the boat, TC is
sitting on a crate.
TC: Thomas I got what we can use to look like the crates we brought in here.
MAGNUM: What those crates your sitting on?
********************************************************************************
TC: Yeah I can take two of these crates, paint them up some and they will never
know anything was moved.
RICK: That would work if they haven't already found out the suff was moved.
MAGNUM: That will work we'll just take the fake ones out drop them over, and
wait and see what happens.
A short time later Captain Sharp came up on deck and walks to where Magnum Rick
and TC are waiting.
CAPTAIN SHARP: The two bodies down there looks as if we found the owner Jay
Major's, he and his wife both were shot. Now I have to call medical examiner and
try to put together what happen.
MAGNUM: Do you need us any longer if not we would like to leave.
CAPTAIN SHARP: No I don't need you guys, we have all your statements so that will
do it from this point.
Sharp starts to turn and walk aways stops.
By the way thanks but Magnum, I have to ask you to stay out of this, this is a
police investigation.
MAGNUN: Yeah we know that.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Magnum I was just a rookie and I do remember some of your messes,
don't make any mistakes, I can't figure out first you find the boat, then you
find diamonds and now the bodies.
MAGNUM: So whats the problem?
CAPTAIN SHARP: You Magnum, like I said I still remember you when you were a
Private Investigator here. You did drive the police department crazy, but now
stay out of this we can do our jobs.
MAGNUM: Look Sharp, I just retired from the Navy, I'm just trying to find out
why my friend was shot at, and enjoy my retirement.
POLICE OFFICER: Captain, we found the females purse she is Sarah Majors, and is
the wife of Jay Majors, she was shot at least three times.
CAPTAIN SHARP: Ok, log it in on your report sheet.
Magnum Rick and TC leave the boat and start walking back to the club.
TC: Whats got his back up?
MAGNUM: Maybe we are doing better than the police are on this case.
RICK: How about a beer guys?
MAGNUM: We better first get those crates made up and put back before we have a
party over it.
RICK/TC: Your right.
RICK: Think I have just what we need in the trash, we will just make them up,
put them on the boat, and that part of it is done.
TC: Its getting late, so the first thing in the morning we will get out to the
site and then have to see what happens.

Magnum takes the turns of the cleat on the boat forward, and flips it over the
ballard on the pier, that was the first bite the forward line was singled up,
goes back to the stern and does the same thing but there takes in all the lines.
walks forward and the boat starts to move with the current, so he takes the line
clear in the boat is on its own now.
They walk back to the closed command center, and puts the engine in gear and sets
the speed to slow and the boat moves out of the slip and into the harbor.

switch.

really am sorry things turned out the way they did.
Is that why you never remarried?
MAGNUM: Is this the reason for the picnic?
JACKIE PORTER: Is that why you left a good job and went back in the Navy?
Magnum turns the wheel the boat answers and swings around, turning back in the
direction of the Marina.
JACKIE PORTER: Why are you turning around?
MAGNUM: Some things are better just left alone, some happen here, I had to get
away, start over, and finish something I already started.
JACKIE PORTER: Then you now have closier to your problems?

to find all this. (hands the papers back)
JACKIE PORTER: General Greene is leaving in a few days, I am going to have to
take the NIA over till a replacement can be sent out, and I need your help.
MAGNUM: My help, how?

to do with something you worked on along time ago, and its come back to, thats
all I can tell you.

JACKIE PORTER: I will call you when General Greene leaves.
MAGNUM: OK, now lets get this boat back to the marina, before this storm hits.
