Magnum, P.I. S7E22 - English Transcript

You can't die. You have to take care of our daughter. Thomas. It's good to see you again. I should've known you and him were going to get together. I mean, you just had to T. C. , stop it! That's not why I'm here. She came here to talk to me and I'm going to find out what she has to say. Does anybody know anything about this guy? Operatives know Michelle's on the island and they know where she's staying. I love you, Michelle. More than anyone I've ever known. Rick? Carmella? Mac? Hey, Magnum, great to see you! Hey, you want some ice cream? I'd like a beer, if I could get one. Where is everybody? You really ought to try this ice cream. I'm telling you, it's heaven. What're you doing here? Waiting for you. Me? What made you think I was gonna be here? Everybody comes through here eventually. Oh! You wanted a beer. You won't believe what happened to me. Yeah. I have been feeling so good lately. I've been paying off old debts, I'm down in the warehouse district checking on some parts for T. C. 's chopper Did you shave off your mustache? What happened in the warehouse? Yeah Well, these guys started following me. I don't know who they were or why they were tailing me, but luckily I had my gun in the car. You'd have been even luckier if you'd have taken along a couple of extra magazines for it. Well, yeah, when I got down How do you know that I didn't? Well, that doesn't matter. Now, you say these guys were following you? Yeah. Anyway, here I am in this firefight, I'm down to my last couple of rounds. I decided to make a break for the door, you know, figuring the best defense is a good offense. I've done that dozens of times. You have to, in my line of work. Anyway I go out blasting, I get the guy with the shotgun, and then And then? I'm not sure. I don't know. Well, don't let it bother you. It's perfectly natural at first. Start again at the part where they had you cornered in the warehouse? I didn't say they had me cornered. Whatever. How do you know all this? Old Düsseldorf in a long neck. You know, I never even heard of this stuff till that night at Luau Louie's. Boy, did we have a good time that night, huh? Well, up to the point where your Ferrari blew up with me in it. Oh, no. No, you're not going to do this to me. You can't shave off your mustache and make me think you're Mac, the real Mac. Well, yeah, I call you Mac, but you're Jim Bonig. And I don't know what you want, but it's not gonna work, and it's not funny! Ha! You're telling me! I was there one minute, then I wasn't. What's going on? Life. For some people. Like two of those guys you fought it out with this morning. If they're alive, and you're the real Mac, and you're not alive, you're telling me I'm I get it. I'm dreaming. I always tend to do this when I'm full of anticipation about something. Well, never mind, because I couldn't be not dreaming. The timing would be all wrong. I've never met anybody yet who thought the timing was right. Who were you expecting? If you were really the old Mac, you'd know. Now, that really makes me nuts. Why is it that people always think that when people are gone, they know everything? I don't know. Good. Well, I've really kind of enjoyed this in a way, but I have to wake up now. Bye, Mac. He arose quite early this morning. I tracked him down to the beach shortly after sunrise, where I reprimanded him for forgetting to have the Ferrari serviced. Forget it, Higgins. You couldn't have known it'd be the last time you'd talk to him. No. I mention the incident only because of his unusual mood. An air of complete calm tranquility. Most odd for Magnum in the morning hours. It's a phenomenon that happens, you know. Lincoln People who were with him that day all talked about how he seemed to know what was coming. And how he was at peace with it. He say anything about a case he was working on? No, apparently he had elected to clear his schedule. Has anyone told Rick? Oh. I'll go to the prison this afternoon. I may have some good news for him about the weapons charge, but Now when he hears about this It'*** us all very hard. Higgins? I have to talk to you about something. Hi, guys. What's everybody doing here? I have no idea what to tell his guest when she arrives. Higgins, I asked you not to mention it to anybody. What guest? He can't tell you, Carol. It's confidential. A Miss Barrington. She's due any moment. Higgins! I think I should stick around and talk to her. She may have something to do with what happened. What happened to "I am the very soul of discretion"? Yes? What happened to, "You may depend on my silence"? A Miss Barrington to see Thomas Magnum. All right. You can't all go on ignoring me forever, you know. This is turning out to be the worst dream I've ever had. If you'll excuse me. I'll take care of it. Lads, what is it? Well, thank God. At least somebody knows I'm here. Keep it up, guys. Zeus, Apollo, heel. Jonathan, can't you make them stop? Apparently not. I'll admit Miss Barrington. Higgins, no! Yes, I'm coming. Michelle. You're Miss Barrington. Uh, come in. Come in. Thomas didn't tell you? No, no. Only that a Miss Barrington would be arriving. Well, of course, he would do nothing to jeopardize your safety by Something has happened. What's wrong? It's Thomas? There's been an accident. A shooting. I'm terribly sorry. I'm quite certain there are several children's books in French, which Magnum kept after you and your mother left. Although finding anything in this junk heap Magnum refers to as a closet Odd. Everything's all tidy. You don't suppose Hi. I guess you can't see me either, huh? Well, it's good to see you again. I wonder if you'd remember me, if you could see me I bet you would. We had a pretty good time when you were here before, remember? You lost your two front teeth, huh? You look just like I did when Look I want you to do me a favor. I want you to think about me. Just think about Thomas, okay? See, I have this feeling that you could see me if you tried real hard. Wouldn't you like that? So let's do it like a game, all right? I'll close my eyes And I'll think of nothing but you And that's gonna make you think about me And then you'll see me. Okay? You ready? Thomas. Here we are. This should do. I don't know exactly how to tell you where Thomas is. I wish I did. I should have known you were coming. That's why Thomas was acting so strange. I mean, paying off old debts, wrapping up old business. He was gonna leave with you. That was it, wasn't it? T. C The Navy was gonna make him part of the witness relocation program. That's why he couldn't talk about it. No, he I didn't You know, I should've known you and him were going to get together. I mean, you just had to T. C. , stop it! That's not why I'm here. Well, why are you here? I had to talk to Thomas. There was something I had to tell him. You came out of hiding and risked your life, not to mention Lily's, just to say hello? What difference does it make now? It's okay No, it isn't. It isn't. Yeah, I know. I'm all right now. I better see about gettin' you and Lily on a plane. Well? Well, what? Ready to leave? Well, I'm a little busy right now. If you're not dead, how come nobody can see you or hear you? If I am dead, how come I don't feel like it? How come I feel like staying and fighting this? It's all a part of the process. No. No, there's something else. And I'm not just gonna fold up and go away because you say so. Tell me something. How come you didn't go after Michelle just now? How come you didn't try to hug her? Or the little girl Weren't you glad to see her? I wanted to hold her. I guess I was just afraid. Of what? That you're right. Okay, I'll admit this much, I'm either dead or dreaming. Well, that's a start. Where did that come from? This? Oh, I suppose you brought it to me once when you needed a favor on the computer. Or were going to bring it, and didn't. Time has little to do with infinity and jelly donuts. Well, she came here to talk to me and I'm going to find out what she has to say. Everybody denies it at first. It's perfectly natural. The best thing you can do for Michelle is to let her get on with things. I let her go before. I'm not gonna do it again. You're making things very difficult. I don't care! You just have a certain amount of time to do this, you know. Do what? Say goodbye. Hey, you can't just walk away from this, you know. Wait a minute. You recognize that guy? Not really. Who were the men who were following me? I told you before, being dead doesn't mean being omniscient. Enough of your games, Mac! I wanna know what you know. I'm telling you, I actually had more access to really secret information when I was with NIA than I do now. No, wait! Wait! I certainly didn't mean to imply that the Navy knew more than I wouldn't even want it to get out that I even thought that they knew Hey, wait a minute. Are we going to Buck Greene's office? Hey, wait. I refuse to be civil to the man that's responsible for my death. I'll make a deal with you. No deals. That's part of the deal. Listen to me, those guys probably knew Michelle was on her way here. That's why they shot at me, to get me out of the way before she got here. They knew I would never let them get near her. Now, she could be in real danger. She could be in worse danger if you get involved in this. You just stay out of this. I have to let somebody know she's in trouble. That's all I'm asking. Just give me enough time to get through to somebody, that's all. How much time do you need? I don't know. Time has little to do with infinity and jelly donuts. Well, I guess I could look the other way for a little while. Hi, Maggie. Ron? Maggie Poole. Yeah, yeah, I just got it. Do you have a name to go with this face? Durant? D- U-R-A-N-T? Edward T. Thanks, Ron. It means a lot to me. No, I can't give you any more details right now. All I'm sure of is that it may be trouble for somebody that meant a lot to Thomas. You're onto them already. I knew I could count on you, Maggie. No, I don't No, I don't think that's a good idea. I thought you wanted to help! All right, fine. Dinner. But not at your place. At a restaurant. A crowded restaurant. Attagirl, Maggie. Don't do anything you don't wanna do. All right, your place. Yeah. Oh, Thomas Oh, Maggie And you've got confirmation of the cablegram? Yes, Colonel Greene. From Paris, delivered to Thomas five days ago. And a K. Barrington and a C. Barrington arrived here today on a flight from Paris. She brought the little girl with her? Yes. I guess she thought that Lily would be safer here with her. Damn it. He promised. Magnum gave me his word he'd let me know if he had any contact with Michelle. This Edward Durant tried to get the airline to give him a number for her locally, and he's been asking around at some of the hotels about her. I've alerted them to notify me if he should inquire further. Is the Navy paying you to play private investigator? I just want to help. I mean, if this has any connection to Thomas Thomas Magnum is no longer your concern. We gave Michelle all the protection we promised. We can't help her if she's gonna go flying around the world, risking exposure of her identity. Thomas was a friend of ours. Intelligence has no knowledge of this Durant. There's no file. I got that photograph from CIA. They only know about him because he's in international trade. He's a very clean, very respected businessman, based in Paris. Now, he is either a brand new agent or a very good one. Anything else? He's at the Carlyle Hotel. Room 305. Look, Buck I realize we haven't exactly seen eye to eye over the years. But I know basically you're a good man. I've never asked you for anything before, ever. And it's beginning to look like I'm not gonna get a chance to ask you for anything ever again. I'd look after Michelle myself But I just can't right now. Please listen to me. What am I doing? I couldn't communicate with you when I could communicate. Michelle! You promised you wouldn't follow me to the Islands. I also promised I wouldn't worry. And did you really think I wouldn't? You shouldn't have come here. If they find out you're here, you could be in danger. I just wanna take you home. I can't leave yet. You haven't talked to Magnum? Edward, please. What, is he being difficult? Or is it just that you're not sure, now that you've seen him again? I haven't seen him. Well, look, if the problem is some indecision on your No, no That isn't it. Well, then what? What is it? Don't you know how to tell him that we're getting married? Edward Do you know that I love you? Yes. Then, please, give me some time to work all this out. Please. I'll be at the Carlyle until tomorrow night. Now, don't take any chances you don't have to. Michelle. I kind of hoped all along we just needed a couple of minutes alone to talk. But I guess it's too late for that now. I don't believe it! I'm getting out of here? A few signatures and it's all over. Oh, Carol, I don't know how you pulled it off, but thanks. I didn't. Apparently somebody else has been helping you out. Look. Look on the back page here. A copy of my birth certificate. Mmm-hmm. And some affidavits from some residents of Cook County, Illinois, that swear that your given name is Orville. See, the warrant that was sworn out against you for altering the weapons was made out to Rick Wright, not Orville. And that's enough to spring me? And overturn the conviction. It's a technicality that all of us had overlooked, including me. Well, somebody caught it. Yeah. And that somebody took all the evidence down to the courthouse yesterday morning before he Before the shooting. Gee, I never even got a chance to thank him. Forget it. That's what friends are for. Listen I don't exactly know how to tell you this, but I thought I was having a weird dream, but it's beginning to look like Well Just in case it's not I just wanted to say I just wanted to say that I'm really gonna miss you guys, and I guess I'll be seeing you. You know, I never got a chance to tell you, I think I understand what it's like for you to be up here, above the world, all alone. You can breathe better. Slow down a little bit, get things into focus. Figure out what it is you need to do. There's this place that I So, I guess this is probably the last flight we're gonna take together, for a while at least. I just don't see what she sees in the guy. I mean, who is he? Does anybody know anything about this guy? It just bugs me that she's gonna go off with him, and I don't get to talk to her about it. Most extraordinary. That's what I think. What is it? What is that? Oh, something I felt like playing. I don't really quite know why. I've just received a generous advance from the Remington-Lordes publishing house in London. They wish to secure the rights to my memoirs. Oh, yeah, I meant to tell you about that. Why, Jonathan, I didn't know you'd even submitted them to anyone. I didn't, and certainly not to Remington-Lordes. That would have been too much to hope for. They're a most selective publisher. Magnum once encouraged me to take the plunge, but I Magnum. What a very generous thing for him to do. Well, why not? It's about time you got published in your own name, because you are Robin Masters, aren't you? Or rather, he's you. Yes. I knew it! Wait a minute, you talking to me or Agatha? An interesting query. But are the memoirs ready for publication? Well, that's not what I wanted to talk to you about anyway. "The balmy breezes brushed the war "gently from our minds, from time to time, "yet we were never far from the awful truth. " I'm just not gonna take this lying down. This is Edward Durant. I'd like you to draw up my final bill, please. Thank you. I don't get it. I don't know what she sees in you. I mean, no offense, but you're so serious. You don't seem to have any sense of humor at all. Oh, you're not gonna call her again, are you? She asked for a little time, don't you think you could give her that? Well, at least you've got a little common sense. Boy, it's a good thing you didn't call her. No, wait a minute Wait a minute. Maybe you should give her a piece of your mind. And don't call her, go see her. Get real aggressive, she likes that in a man. Tell her she's being stupid and stubborn. Tell her you're giving her an ultimatum, go back to France with you, or else. Oh, she'll like that. Oh, sure, it's a little white lie, but it's for her own good. Congratulations. You got through. What? I hope you're proud of yourself. What are you talking about? There's no way Michelle will stay with him after he delivers his little ultimatum. Well Is that what you want? You want her to be alone and pine away for you her whole life? Don't you want her to be happy? Of course I do. I didn't mean I guess I never looked at it that way. Okay, maybe that was a cheap shot. Let me go try and stop it. Can't. You got through to one person. Time's up. That was our deal. Now, wait a minute. By one person I didn't mean Durant. You made the choice. I can't believe you'd do this. Hey, we got rules, too, you know. How much time would a dozen Napoleons buy me? You pick this stuff up pretty quick. How much time? Michelle! I don't think we have to worry. As soon as she calms down, she'll come back. Well, I don't know what came over me. I wasn't even acting like myself. And you can tell her that. I'm sure that she'll understand. Where's Michelle? Colonel Greene! I don't know. We had an argument and she left. I'm Edward Durant. Yeah, we figured out who you are. You're unimportant at the moment. Yeah, I guess you're probably right. Mr. Durant, I'm Lieutenant Commander Poole. We've just found out that operatives know Michelle's on the Island, and they know where she's staying. Can you think of any place she might have gone? I think I know where she might be. Have the doctors His condition seems to be getting worse. There's not much chance of his coming out of the coma. Michelle, your safety was of utmost concern to him. I know he would have understood why you can't stay. You talk as if he's already gone. The men who shot him believed he was dead when they left him. The fact that he's survived this long is more than anyone could have hoped for. But, uh, his doctors believe that we should now begin to accept the inevitability of No. I can't. It can't happen like this. I think that you should consider that if you leave like this, you'll never know the truth of who Robin Masters is. If you would indulge me in one more story. I think perhaps you would find this useful. "After five days, "the medical unit had given up hope, "and a runner was sent for Father Kirkpatrick. "The runner had only been gone a scant 10 minutes "when the most miraculous event occurred. "Private Channing, "whom everyone had given up for dead, "opened his eyes, looked around, "and asked for a pint of stout. " Michelle. You have to go back to the estate. This isn't safe. You have to go back. What happened with Durant, that was my fault. I put him up to it. You have to go back and talk to him. Buck Greene's there. He'll help you. Don't panic! They've got a faster car than you. You can't outrun them. Listen to me! Now, shift down and you'll stay in control. No, no brakes! Michelle, listen to me! You can't die. You have to take care of our daughter. Now, shift down. That's it. Don't let them pass you. Use the whole road. Pour on a little gas. You can accelerate into the corners. No brakes. You're doing great. After this turn there's a straightaway. Gear down. Now, we're gonna surprise them. You'll have to take this next turn fast. Stay off the brakes. That's it. You're doing fine. Okay, get ready. Hit the brakes! Hit them! That's my girl. I love this place. I don't know how you knew to come here. But maybe I know why. I've always liked to be up here alone. You can breathe better here. Slow down a little bit. Try to get things into focus. Kind of figure out what it is you need to do. I love you, Michelle. More than anyone I've ever known. And I'm letting you go. Magnum I demand you come back immediately. Magnum!
