Steve, put it on the speakerphone. I want to listen. Catherine said.
Steve put the phone on the speakerphone.
What you want? Steve asked the man.
Marcus Carsy free, and your mother and kids will back home.
What? But that doesn't depend on me. I'm not the person to decide that. Steve said.
That's your problem! Said the man.
Who is this man? Catherine asked Danny.
He's an international trafficker that we arrested a few months ago. Danny said.
I want to talk to my kids. Steve said.
You are in no position to demand anything. But I'll let you talk to one of them.
Bring the girl! The man said, screaming.
The other men went to get Annye.
You, come and talk to your father. One of the men said, pointing at Annye.
No, I don't want to go with him, Grandma. Annye said, clinging to Doris.
They tried to pull her, but she clutched her grandmother even more.
Please, don't take her. I'll talk to my dad. Jimmy said.
Ask the boss if can be the boy.
The man went and went back to take Jimmy.
It can be you. Let's go. But you'll not tell where you're. If you say something, your little sister will suffer the consequences. The man said to Jimmy.
It's all right. I'll not say anything. Jimmy said, scared.
Jimmy was taken to the boat cabin to talk to Steve.
Hi Dad! Jimmy said.
Jimmy! How are you, son?
We're all good, Dad.
I'll get you guys home, Jimmy. Tell that to James, to Annye and your grandmother.
Okay, Dad.
Let me talk to him, Steve. Catherine asked.
Jimmy!
Hi mom!
Enough. Take him away! Said the man.
Let me talk to my son! Catherine pleaded.
I suggest you start acting. We'll get in touch! Said the man hanging up the phone.
I wanted to talk to my son so much, Steve. I wanted so much! Catherine said, hugging him.
I know. I know. Steve said, stroking her hair.
Sorry, I couldn't track the call. Tani said.
What are you going to do, man? Lou asked.
I'll talk to the Governor. But I already imagine what the answer will be. It will be no.
Catherine, who was still holding him, lifted her face and looked at Steve scared.
What do you mean, Steve? He can't say no. It's our children, it's Doris. He can't do that to us. Catherine said.
Are you going with me, Danny? Steve asked.
Yes, of course.
Danny said yes, but he was also distressed.
I want to go too. Catherine said, releasing Steve.
No, Cath. Stay here and keep checking the city's cameras.
No, Steve.
Cath, please? Do what I'm asking you to do.
Catherine breathed deep.
Okay. Said Catherine, upset.
Steve left with Danny to go see the Governor.
Why didn't you let Catherine come with us? Danny asked.
Because I know he's going to tell me no, Danny. She wants to be strong, but she is not. Not when it comes to our children.
You're not being strong either, are you? Danny asked.
No, Danny. I'm very afraid of losing my children and my mother. My children are my life. They're the reason I come home every day, and the Catherine, of course. What about my mother? After so many years I am having the opportunity to live with her again. I can't lose them Danny, I'll not bear it.
Steve stopped the car and let the tears fall.
Switch places with me, Steve. Let me drive.
Okay. Said Steve getting out of the car.
They traded places and Danny didn't know what to say to comfort Steve.
We'll find a way, my friend. Danny said.
I don't see a way, Danny. I don't see.
Steve and Danny arrived to speak with the Governor and his secretary asked them to wait.
They sat down to wait.
Steve was waiting and getting more and more nervous. He got up and went to the desk again.
Can you tell him it's urgent? Steve said angrily.
He already knows that you're here. Just wait.
Okay. Steve said that and walked into the Governor's office.
Wait, you can't go in like this. Said the secretary.
I don't think he heard you. Danny said, being ironic.
The Governor was talking to a man and was startled when Steve came in abruptly.
Commander, what is this?
I need to talk to you. Is urgent! Steve said.
Can we resume meeting later? I need to talk to Commander McGarrett. The Governor said to his guest.
Of course. Excuse. He said, leaving the office.
What is so urgent, Commander?
Marcus Carsy. His henchmen kidnapped my mother and my three children. And they want to trade them for Marcus.
The Governor was thoughtful.
I'm so sorry, Commander. As a father I understand your despair. But as the Ruler of that state, you know I can't do that.
I dedicated years of my life to keep this island safe. And what do I get in return? The death of my family? My daughter is only four years old.
Get all the cops available to help you search for your children. That's all I can do.
Steve looked incredulous to the Governor, and left his office defeated.
And then, Steve. Danny asked.
He said no, Danny. Of course he said no. It is not his children who are in danger. How am I going to tell Catherine this?
Let's go get them, Steve. We can't give up.
I'll get help from HPD and SWAT. Steve said, discouraged.
Steve asked for help and then returned to headquarters to join the team.
Catherine was anxious.
Thank God you're back, Steve. What did he say? She asked.
He said no.
What? No, Steve. He can't do this to my babies.
We're going to look for them. Let's find them.
So let's go. What are we waiting for? Catherine said. She was very nervous.
Steve went out with Catherine and the team to look for the children.
At the end of the day, Steve received another call.
And then, Comander? What do you have to tell me?
I need more time. Steve said.
We aren't very patient. And no use looking for them. You'll not find them. We'll call again tomorrow.
On the boat, Doris heard people coming.
Listen, Jimmy. They are taking turns. I think there will be only two now.
The boat is moving, Grandma. Jimmy said.
Yes, Jimmy. I need to think of something. Do like James and Annye and try to sleep now.
I can't do it, Grandma. I'm missing my Dad and my Mom so much. I'm afraid I'll never see them again.
I know. But you'll see them again. I guarantee it. And I know they'll not sleep tonight either, looking for us. Said Doris.
Steve and Catherine returned to the headquarters with a feeling of emptiness as if they were missing a piece of their heart.
What are we going to do, Steve? We have no clue.
I'm going to prison tomorrow, Cath. I'm going to beg for our kids back to that bastard, if I have to. Steve said.
Hug me, Steve. Catherine asked.
Come here! He said, hugging her affectionately.
