Plot: Private investigator Walter Hale is killed in an apparent hit and run in Hawaii. His sons, estranged half-brothers US Navy SEAL James and suspended police detective Jonny, are informed of his passing. Yakuza thugs attack Jonny at his Oklahoma home, believing that Walter had sent him a package. Although initially ambivalent about Walter’s passing because of their non-existent relationship, Jonny decides to head to Hawaii to attend the funeral and investigate his death. There, he is reunited with James and meets his wife Leila and their children, as well as their cousin Nani who works for Governor Peter Mahoe, also a longtime family friend.
Both Jonny and James investigate Walter’s death separately, converging on his ransacked apartment. They work with Walter’s assistant Pika and find plans for a casino and resort hidden in a surfboard. With Nani’s help, they discover the casino is to be built on Hawaiian home lands, with the site already home to a small community. Jonny and James infiltrate a party held at casino developer Marcus Robichaux’s house. Jonny discovers that Walter had been hired by both Marcus and his wife Monica to investigate each other, while James encounters yakuza leader Nakamura, whose shell company owns the vehicle involved in Walter’s death. Jonny goes to meet Monica the next day but finds her dead; believing Marcus to be responsible, he returns to the house to confront him, but is beat up by Marcus’ security and locked up in jail.
After Jonny is released, James and Jonny fight each other to settle their differences, with Jonny revealing that he is motivated to investigate Walter’s death because he was unable to solve the murder of his own mother, while James reveals that he sent Jonny away to save his life from the Syndicate, a local crime group that Jonny blames for his mother’s death, leading to their estrangement. Jonny’s ex-girlfriend Valentina calls him from Oklahoma, telling him that a package from Walter had arrived at his house. After Valentina personally delivers the package to Hawaii, they find it contains a flash drive that acts as a security key to a digital wallet owned by Walter before they are attacked by more yakuza. After fighting them off, they discover the digital wallet contains millions of dollars as well as transaction information relating to offshore bank accounts owned by Governor Mahoe. They come to the conclusion that Robichaux, in league with the yakuza, has been bribing the Governor to legalize gambling and to give him permission to build a casino on Hawaiian home land, and that Walter was murdered after he uncovered the plot and sent the flash drive to Jonny.
James and Jonny receive a call from Robichaux revealing that he has kidnapped Leila and Nani, and demands the flash drive for their lives. James and Jonny assault his house, rescue Leila and Nani, and kill Nakamura and Robichaux. Mahoe is arrested for corruption while the leader of the Syndicate gives Jonny the name of the man who killed his mother in appreciation for dealing with the yakuza; however Jonny burns the paper with the killer’s name in a barbecue. Jonny decides to stay in Hawaii with James and they make plans to spend the millions left to them by Walter in the digital wallet.

I really don’t know how many are gonna make it, though.
You’ll get ’em there. You always do.

Also, Walter finally managed to get himself killed.
Hitandrun.
Had to go down to the morgue, I.D. the body.
Wait. Your father died?
Traffic down there is out of control, with all that roadwork.
Took me an extra 45 minutes to get home.
Babe, I’m so sorry.
Do you want to talk about it?
[grill sizzling]
Not really.
Well, did you at least call your brother in Oklahoma?
Jonny doesn’t take my calls.
So leave a message.
Damn it.
The tank’s empty.
He needs to know his father died.

Now he wants to talk. [laughs]
We talk all the time.
No, no. I talk.
And talk and talk and talk and talk, but you don’t hear me.
Ooh. So weird.
[sighs]
I’m a grownup, Jonny.
I manage a bank.
And… you’re dicking around.
I am a police officer who just had a really shitty day at work.
I’m sorry that I’m late, but I’m still the same guy that you fell in love with.
You know, I haven’t changed.
Yeah, and you never will change.
Oh, fuck.
This is that, uh… this is that boundaries shit, right?
Uh, I’m sorry.
Valentina, please look at me.
I am sorry.

I’m so sorry, xuxu.

Today’s Friday, by the way.
And I don’t speak Spanish, ’cause I’m from Brazil.
I speak Portuguese.

Ah, they’re just so similar.

I mean, Portuguese is basically…

Hi, James’ wife.
Yeah, it’s kind of crazy we’ve never met.
♪ And I know when to let you loose…
Crazy.
Listen.
Your father Walter…
I’m afraid he’s passed away.
Figured he died years ago.
He died yesterday.
The funeral’s tomorrow.
We’re hoping you’ll come.
I know it’s been a long time.
[sighs] So James couldn’t call me himself.
You two have a complicated history with a lot of shared trauma.
Mm. You sound like a shrink.
Child psychologist, actually.
I’m not a child.
And I haven’t talked to James in ten years, and I haven’t been to Hawaii in 20, so I’m good.
That’s not how it sounds to me.
Mm.
[phone beeps] I am a very respected police officer on the reservation,
and, you know…
[urinating] I’ve had Eat Pray Love explained to me numerous times, and I have many audiobooks that I’m excited to listen to.
Like, you know, I’ll be there, but-but I’m…
Oh…
[door closes]
What the fuck?
[continues urinating] Hello? Jonny?
[continues urinating]
You guys got the wrong house, man.
[urine splattering]
Oh, shit.
Ah, fuck.
[groans] Oopsie. [chuckles] Detective Jonny Hale, 26 Arrowwood Lane.
[urinating slows to a stop]
Two-six… Okay, it’s the right house.
Your father Walter sent you a package.
Where is it?
Walter’s dead, man.
And you’ll join him right now if you don’t give me the package.
[Jonny sighs]
[urine splashes briefly]
I haven’t talked to Walter since I was a kid, and whatever you’re looking for, he wouldn’t have sent it to me, okay?
So just…
[urine splashes briefly] Fuck, I can’t go when you’re watching me.
Fucking weirdos.
Okay, hey, hey, hey.
Ooh, easy. It’s sharp.
Whoa.
Sword fight. [chuckles]
[slapping]
[groaning]
[speaks Japanese] Be cool, man, all right?
Be cool.
You know what this is?
A badly drawn horse.
It’s a dragon.
Looks like an angry horsey.
It’s a dragon, asshole.
It’s a dragon’s asshole?
You know what these tattoos mean?
Hai.
Yakuza.
That’s right.
And even an idiot like you knows you don’t want to fuck with us.
Listen, you broke into my house, Naruto over here put a sword to my neck, and now, legally, I’m allowed to kill both of you.
Just give us the fucking package!
Bro, I’ve had the worst day ever.
My girl just broke up with me, okay?
Shut up.
This other lady’s trying to tell me I have daddy issues.
I said just shut up.
Now you fucking clowns are…

[kahuna speaking Hawaiian]
[kahuna] …Walter Hale.
[kahuna continues in Hawaiian]
[continues in Hawaiian]
[James] Hmm.
Mr. K’s Syndicate boys.
Interesting crowd.
Yakuza, Syndicate.
Walter was a private detective.
I guess he walked a fine line.
There was no line.
Not with him.
So no Jonny?
Nah. Wrote Walter off years ago.
It’s his father.
Something in him must want to be here.
You don’t know Jonny like I do.
And you don’t know him like you think you do.
[squeals excitedly] Cousin!
[laughing]
Hey, Nani.
I missed you so much.
[Jonny] Oh, you grew up.
[Haunani] Ooh!
You called him?
It’s for your own good. Family’s family.
Jonny, hi.
Hey.
I’m Leila. We spoke on the phone.
Yeah.
Lani, Kai.
This is your Uncle Keo.
So you’re my dad’s brother?
[Jonny] Half.
How come I never met you?
‘Cause your father doesn’t like me.
Why not?
Because I’m better-looking.
You have more hair.
So much more.
Can I braid it?
No.
Aw. Man.
[Jonny grunts]
Jonny.
James.
[kahuna continues speaking Hawaiian]
Oh, good.
I was worried this would be awkward.
I’m sorry, I know your wife actually does the talking for you.
Oh. If she did, she’d probably ask why you’re dressed like a gorilla at a gay bar.
Oh, shit.
You got sand in your vagina.
[kahuna stops talking]
[both] Sorry.
[sighs]
Please. I’m sorry.
[groans] You got old.
You got fat.
I can lose weight.
You’re still gonna be old as fuck.
Oh, are we gonna keep measuring dicks, or can we be civil for a minute?
Haven’t decided yet.
Tell him.
I should’ve called. I’m happy you’re here.
Couldn’t hear. You were mumbling. What?
I should’ve called. I’m happy you’re here.
Oh. Thanks, Jimmy.
No, I’m not. Leila told me to say that.
Can we just get on with the fucking funeral?
You’re the puppet.
Just have her shove her hand up your ass
and tell you what to say.
It’s a fucking funeral. Shut up.
Gentlemen. Please.
Sorry.
A close family friend, Governor Peter Mahoe, has come here to share a few words of remembrance about Walter.
[both inhale deeply]
Mahalo. [speaks Hawaiian]
Aloha.
[speaking Hawaiian]
My dear ‘ohana…
Oh, Keo.
You got pretty, brah.
Long time, brah.
Thank you all for taking the time to mark the end of one journey and the start of another.
Walter Hale was by no means a simple man.
And I’d be lying if I said he hadn’t made mistakes.
But since he has departed so suddenly, the families still face many challenges, one being that sacred code of ho’oponopono, or forgiveness.
[gentle music playing]
You kept Malia’s house?
[James] Yeah, I took over the mortgage after she passed.
It’s a lot smaller than I remember.
Nah, it was always small.
She made room for you anyway.
[scoffs] Yeah, and you fucking hated that.
What are you talking about?
Jonny the Bastard.
What?
Yeah, I’m the walking reminder that he fucked around on your mother, and you never let me forget it.
Oh, Jesus Christ. This again?
That’s not what I was saying.
What are you saying?
Walter left Malia for Kim.
It broke up my family.
All right? I was just a kid.
I’m sorry if it took me a fucking minute to get over it.
Yeah, maybe you still haven’t.
And maybe you’re still a bastard.
Mm.
Well, this should be fun.
Yeah, I’m fucking pumped.
[belches]
[gasps] Well, it’s nice to have you boys under the one roof.
Your mother would’ve been very happy.
Yeah, I was sorry to hear that Malia had passed on.
Yeah, you should’ve come back, then.
You were like a son to her.
I wasn’t her son.
[Haunani] I know that, asshole.
That’s what “like a son” means.
[kids laughing]
Oh, my God, Haunani. Every damn…
[Lani] “Asshole.”
[Haunani] Literally, you fucking dumbass.
“Like a son.” That’s what it means.
[Leila] Loves to talk rubbish.
What? What? Oh, shit.
[Haunani] Don’t copy Auntie.
[laughter]
Uh, so… are you seeing anyone, Jonny?
Hmm?
Yes.
No. I-I don’t know.
Sounds serious.
Well, I think Walter would have really appreciated you being here.
I’m not here for him.
I came to find out who killed him.
Killed him?
What are you talking about?
Yeah, it was a hit-and-run.
I don’t think so.
Okay, kids, go get ready for bed.
It’s just getting interesting.
Hey! Don’t talk back to your mother.
Whoa.
Good boy.
What the hell are you talking about?
They came into my house last night,
and they tried to kill me.
Who tried to kill you?
I’m betting half of Oklahoma wants to kill you.
There’s not a lot of yakuza in Oklahoma.
There we go. I knew it.
I knew you couldn’t come back here without stirring shit up.
Oh, f…
Wait, wait, James.
Nothing changes with you.
Even after all these years, you’re still looking for new ways to get yourself killed.
Mālie. Mālie.
Yeah, don’t worry about it.
I don’t expect you to help me.
Nothing to help with.
That’s the same thing you said about my mother.
[clears throat]
[sighs] Let me talk to you outside for a second.
Nah, I’m good right here.
No, you’re not.
Go.
[softly] Go.
[Jonny groans softly]
[somber music playing]
Wow.
[Haunani] Mm.
I see he still knows how to be a real dick.
Just cut him some slack, Nan.
He’s… you know he’s been through a lot.
[wind gusting]
Sure you don’t want to go any further?
What’s the matter? Truth hurt?
You need to get your head out of your ass.
Oh, that’s a great note, James.
Someone killed Walter?
You haven’t seen or talked to the guy in over 20 years, and all of a sudden, you want to go sniff around in his business?
You’re just gonna stir up trouble.
That’s what you do.
It’s like your fucking superpower.
That’s what I do because I’m a cop.
Not here you’re not.
You don’t have to worry about it.
I see it. You got your… your beautiful wife and your kids and your job with the Navy.
I’m sure you’re real fucking popular around here.
Fuck you. You’re not gonna make me apologize for that.
Why don’t you trust me just fucking once?
You couldn’t find the guy who killed your mother, so now all of a sudden, you decided someone killed your father.
Fuck you.
So you got to find that guy.
Fuck you, man. You don’t get it.
There’s nothing to get.
Just go back to your life.
It was a hit-and-run.
I’ll figure it out myself.
At least I got a fucking life to go back to.

I like that, bruddah. That’s pono.
I respect that.
Thank you.
And that is why you can still take a piss standing up, brah.
You know, the Syndicate has a long memory, bruddah, and you hurt a lot of my guys.
You killed my mother.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
And, brah, if you think you’re gonna hang around over here… [speaks Hawaiian], my guys are gonna take that personally.
It’s not gonna be good for you, Jonny.
It’s not gonna be good for them, either.
And that is why I am here right now offering you free passage.
It’s a better deal than you’ll get from the yakuza.
I mean, if you send your men for me, I’m gonna put ’em in bags.
Except for the fat shit over there, you know, because he won’t fit.
[chuckles]
I’m trying to do you a favor, Jonny boy.
Why don’t you just go back home to where you came from?
I’m from here.
No, you’re not from here, brah.
Not anymore.
Let’s go, boys.
Get him. Let’s go.
Ah, f… Come on, man.
All right, all right, listen.
Oh, no. Shit.
Come on.
Goddamn it.
Hold him down!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

You don’t listen, brah.

You like doing your own kind of thing.
Yeah, bruddah.
Oh, fuck! Come on!

You’re gonna wear my mark now, brah.
You’re gonna wear my mark.

Walter’s son.
Yeah.
I’m sorry for your loss, truly.
Thank you.
But I am late for a briefing.
You mind if I walk with you?
Sure.
I was hoping to get a look at the police report.
You can, but I can tell you you’re not gonna find anything in it.
Why’s that?
‘Cause he was hit in Kalihi.
No one talks to the cops over there.
No witnesses, no forensics, no nothing.
Traffic cams?
Uh, one. Wasn’t working.
That’s pretty convenient, isn’t it?
[chuckles] Half of them are out across the island.
We got, like, what, two guys in a truck fixing ’em?
Budget cuts.
So a private detective with known ties to the criminal underworld gets killed in a dead zone, and no one’s giving it another look?
There is no reason to believe that this was anything other than a straight hit-and-run.
You guys don’t investigate hit-and-runs?
Sure, we do. All 46 of them.
[sighs]
What about his personal effects?
You can stop by the desk sergeant on the way out, sign for ’em.
All right. Thanks.
Commander Hale.
I know who you are.
Navy SEALs and all that.
Let’s just say your brother’s reputation precedes him.
Now I got two badass sons looking into their father’s death.
Guy like Walter, well, it would be a big mistake.
I can almost guarantee you that you’ll end up poking a bear that doesn’t want to be poked.
Detective Rennert… with all due respect, you don’t really know who I am.
So you’re gonna have to take my word for it when I tell you that I’m the fucking bear.

Walter was like a father to me.
Walter wasn’t a father to anyone.
Yeah, how the fuck would you know?
Because I’m his son.
Oh.
Oh, shit.
You’re Jonny.
Wow. Uh, hey, look.
I just worked for your dad, okay?
Hacked emails and tapped the phones and took fuck-pics of people. That’s it.
You know who would’ve wanted him killed?
[scoffs] How much time you got?
Walter was a fucking disruptor, brah.
What’s the last thing he had you doing?
[sighs] Uh, get a job with Nui Loa.
Who’s that?
No, no, it’s a fucking catering company.
Like, a high-end kind.
You know, like, I’ve been carrying around shrimp toast on trays for the last two weeks.
Why would he want you doing that?

I was thinking maybe the camera out front probably has a pretty good view of the street.
I was hoping… I could get a look at it.

[Peter] The Hawaiian people have been waiting far too long to be given what is rightfully yours.
[crowd] Yes!
Good turnout, considering the weather.
Yeah, the governor’s been trending up in low-income neighborhoods.
Hawaiian people are living in tent cities when they should be living in their own homes on their own land,
on their own ‘aina.
[cheering] Uh, I’m gonna take this.
You go up and stand by with him.
Copy that.
[Peter] So I need each and every one of you to come…
I’m at work. What do you want?
Hey. What is it you actually do for Peter again?
Uh, PR, emails, plan events, dinners.
Pretty much wipe his ass at this point.
Why?
So you’re an assistant. Listen.
I found some plans or a survey or something in Walter’s apartment, and it’s got this government seal on it, but I have no idea what it is,
so…
And this matters because?
Because they were jerry-rigged into a fucking surfboard.
He was hiding them.
I can access the database when I get back to the office.
There should be an eight-digit file number on the plans… text them to me.
I got it. Okay. Listen, I see it.
I just need you to do it as fast as you can because I-I was…

When someone crosses your path, your natural reaction is brake and swerve.
Unless you’re aiming for him.
Yeah.
Did Walter have any connections at the DMV?
Uh, yeah, but I don’t know who it was.
All right, well, ask around. I need a list of every blue van on the island.
What was the name of the caterer?

Uh, Nui Loa.

Grab your little peepee.
[mocking] “Grab your little peepee.”
Bro, you said it yourself: The van never even slowed down.
That just means it was a hitandrun.
That’s not the same as saying it was a targeted assassination.
Walter’s apartment was just torn apart by someone.
Yeah, or Walter was a fucking slob.

It’ll give you the make and model of the van you’re looking for.
How the hell’d you get this?

Yeah.

So you consider this your final warning.

[James] It’s like you’re getting paid by the fucking hour.
What?! Say what?!
What do you charge to not talk?
[Haunani] Uh, I tracked down the original architect and found that these were for a property on the east side of the island, up north.
They were commissioned by the Robichaux firm.
Who’s that?
Marcus Robichaux is a big haole developer.
Hotels and resorts are all over here, Asia, Europe.
His family controlled the sugarcane industry on the island for generations.
So you think Walter was working with Vampire Lestat here?
[Haunani] Mm, Robichaux is bigtime.
If he needed P.I. work, he’d hire, like, I don’t know, exCIA or Mossad, not a bottomfeeder like Walter.
No offense.
So Lestat’s building more hotels. So what?
It’s not a hotel. It’s a casino.
What?
What do you know about casinos?
Nothing. I just know how to read.
It says Sacred Princess Casino on the back.
Hot damn. Look at that.
Showoff.
That makes no sense.
Gambling is illegal here.
I think we should have a talk with Mr. Robichaux.
[Jonny clicks tongue]
He’s actually hosting his annual fundraiser for the art museum tomorrow.
[James] Sweet.
Mm.
No, you can’t. You can’t go.
Sounds like fun.
It’s invitation only, for big donors.
And you two big fuckers don’t exactly blend in.
Oh, we’re big donors, and, uh…
[Haunani] N-No.
Ew.
[Jonny] Don’t worry.
We blend.
Where do you think you’re going?
I’m going to a motel so I can get some rest.
No, you should stay here.

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Not on my bike.
That’s the bus, just like the olden days.
Jonny, get off my bike.
Forget a tie?
You look good, though. Good job.
You want to tell me why you got suspended?
Nah.
Uh, I shot a dealer who was selling meth to kids on the rez.
Okay.
Okay?
Yeah.
Still can’t ride my bike.
You can ride this one.
[Jonny] Oh.
Walter’s old piece of shit.
Yeah.
It’s from, like, the ’40s.
Mmhmm.
[Jonny] It’s all rusty and probably doesn’t even run.
He used to call it a knucklehead.
Like a dime a dozen.
Yeah.
It’s pretty crowded in here.
I could get it off your hands for like, I don’t know…
300 bucks.
No chance. Nice try, though.

For ten centuries, the Aha Moku have been responsible for this land.
They think we live here because we don’t have any homes.
But the haoles, they will come for this land.
And when that happens, we’ll be ready to sound the alarm.

Cops pulled a blue van out of the surf off Makapu’u.
[Rennert] So, our John Doe is Simi Iona, lowlevel accountant in the governor’s office.
Went missing a few days ago.
Uh, does that mean anything?
No?
Nope.
Damage to the front grill of the van makes it a contender for our hitandrun.
Yeah, not to mention someone went through the trouble of dumping it in the ocean.
Yeah. No plates.
But I do have a list of all the blue vans registered on the island.
Any… any familiar names leap out to you?
Can we keep this?
No!
It’s police business, as in my business, as in not yours because… andand this bears repeating… you’re not a cop here.
And you, you are not a cop anywhere.
Yes? Yes?
Yes? What?
Pika.
[indistinct conversation]
Pika.
Hey. Focus.
Ow. Whoa, what? What?
I’m right here.
We need you to find out what you can about this Hayashi Imports.

It was the only Japanese name on Rennert’s blue van list.
We can at least start there.
Whoa. Hey, come on, guys.
We got… we got the Robichaux party in a few hours.

Yakuza.
So it’s a front?
Doesn’t have to be.
[partygoer] Oh, thank you.

Violently.
Howhow did you know my father?
Look, please, can you…
I hired him to look into my husband’s activities.
Who’s your husband?
I’m sorry. I…
I assumed.
I’m Monica Robichaux.
You’re Marcus Robichaux’s wife.
Awesome.
Yo. Can I help you?
Hey.
Hey. Dropped that.
Hayashi Imports. Small world.
What do you know about it?
I know that you guys misplaced a blue van.
Are you a cop?
No.
U.S. Navy.
You’re the frogman.
You got a little something.
[sniffs]
So, why would you hire Walter to investigate your husband?
We’re getting a divorce.
Without some leverage, things won’t go well for me.
You mean financially?
No, Jonny.
I do not mean financially.
So, what does a frogman want with a blue van?
What does the yakuza want with a guy like Robichaux?
[chuckles softly] I don’t know anything about yakuza, but a man who works at Pearl Harbor should know better than to fuck with the Japanese.
I think you’re forgetting how that story ended.
[chuckling]
[speaking Japanese]
[others chuckling]
[Jonny] Well, if you’re getting divorced, what the hell are you doing at this party?
Look…
[hushed] I can’t talk here, okay?
It’s not safe.
Come and see me tomorrow.
I’m staying at the penthouse of Kiani Towers in Waikiki.
You know, there’s a famous Japanese saying: “The child of frog is still just a frog.”
Huh.
Interesting.
What’s that mean?
It means that frogs never look both ways when crossing the street.
[phone vibrating]
Oh.
I got to go, frogman.
See you around.
I look forward to it.
[Nakamura sniffs]
Sir?
Come with us.
Whoa. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
[tense music playing]
[under breath] Oh, fuck.
What’s up, fellas? Get you a drink?
Would you please come with us, sir.
Uh, I still got a stack of dishes.
Mr. Robichaux would like a word with you.
Yeah.
[Jonny exhales loudly]
[glass shatters]
[Jonny inhales sharply, clears throat]
[belches]
Fucking prick.
[Robichaux] Ah. Gentlemen.
[door closes]
Come in.
This is very exciting.
We never have gatecrashers at these events, and I think you can understand why.
Because, honestly, who the fuck would want to go to a fundraiser if they didn’t have to?
I don’t know. Food’s pretty good.
Open bar.
Yeah.
Looking at you, the two of you, big men, big muscles, but I assume that most people, when they see you, will think, “What a pair of lumbering idiots.”
Hmm.
Am I right?
But not me. Not me.
I look into your eyes, and I can see that you are smarter than you look.
[Jonny] Well, not him.
Well, that’s obvious.
You are the clever one.
Mr. Robichaux, I’m James Hale.
This is my brother Jonny.
We’re Walter Hale’s sons.
I hope there’s not a problem.
I paid Walter in full, and I even gave him a bonus for his… for his discretion.
You hired Walter?
I did, yes.
Walter’s dead.
I’m awfully sorry to hear that.
Are you?
I don’t think you are, ’cause I think you knew, and I think you knew who we were the moment we showed up.
That’s why you invited us down here, so you can see what is what.
Now, I know he’s the clever one, but is he implying that I had something to do with Walter’s death?
No.
No?
Mr. Robichaux…
‘Cause that would be absurd, my friend.
I’m not implying shit.
I’m saying it direct to you, “Robicocks.”
Jonny. [sighs] If you don’t mind me asking, what was the nature of your business with Walter?
Not that it’s any of your business, but my beautiful wife here, I suspected she was cheating on me, so I had Walter tail her.
There’s a lot of that going around. [laughs]
[Robichaux] Well, it turned out that she was not.
He presented a quite comprehensive report.
Can I please ask you to put that down?
That is a French F1 grenade from World War I.
Sacrebleu!
Who cares?
Well, you might when your hand’s been blown off.
Oh.
Is that, uh… how you ended up with those fingers?
Oh, my.
I guess the help has forgotten to take out the trash.
[Robichaux chuckles]
I-Is that all?
I really need to get back to my guests, so is there anything else I can do for you?
Uh, yeah, actually…
That was a rhetorical question.
All righty, then. Thanks for your time.
Please, feel free to exit the way you came in.
[scoffs]
That was the wife?
Yeah, well, the exwife.
Interesting.
Did you finish the dishes?
No, I was interrupted by some coked-up yakuza.
Well, that explains the fingers.
Right.

Sweet dick, bro.
Mr. Hale…
I’m starting to develop a very strong dislike for you.
You killed her…
I know you fucking killed her.
Who is it I’m supposed to have killed today?
You killed your wife.
You killed my father, you fucking asshole.
Mmhmm.
Mr. Hale, I think perhaps you’re confused.
Call the police.
[thud]
[song stops abruptly]
[distant door rattling]
[keys jingling]

Let me guess.
James sent you.
Nani called me.
Oh. She shouldn’t have.
Well, lucky for you, she saw it differently.
I managed to convince Mr. Robichaux to drop the charges.
He killed his wife.
If that’s true, it’s none of your business.
Let the cops handle it.
That’s their job, not yours.
I loved Walter.
But there was something inside him.
A darkness.
Caused him to destroy everything good in his life over and over again.
He did it to Malia, to Kim, to you.
Himself.
And that darkness, it lives in you, too.
And James.
But the two of you, you have something he never had.
A brother.
[melancholy music playing]
It’ll take a few minutes to process you out.
Love you, Jonny.
Uncle.
Mahalo.
Just like old times.
Asshole.
Jonny.
[thunder rumbling]
Hey! I’m talking to you!
You can’t just come back here tearing shit up, doing whatever the fuck you want.
Leave me alone, James.
This is my home.
Fucking shit up is not gonna bring your mother back.
Hey! What the…
Motherfucker.

[groaning]
What kind of man abandons his little brother when he needs him the most?
That’s not what happened.
No?
No!
You sent me away, James.
You were going to prison.
The Syndicate was gonna fucking kill you!
If they didn’t do it when you were on the inside, they would’ve got you the fucking moment you got out.
Goddamn.
I was trying to fucking protect you.
I didn’t know what else to do.
You wouldn’t fucking listen to me.
It was, uh… it was the only thing I could think of to save your life.
You have no idea what it’s like to look at your mother, dead in the streets, and she’s staring into your eyes.
Fucking haunts me.
I couldn’t protect her.
I couldn’t do anything.
You were all that I had left, and you fucking…
[somber music playing]
[sighs]
I know I let you down.
I fucked up.
I’m your big brother, and I fucking gave up on you.
If I could, I’d…
I’d do everything differently.
I’m really sorry, Jonny.
I’m really… really fucking sorry.
I’m so fucking angry.
It’s all I got.
Why are you chasing this so hard?
Walter wasn’t any kind of father to you.
I never found the man that killed my mom.
Now someone killed my father.
It…
Someone’s got to give them justice.
I’m all they have.
No, they got me, too.
So do you.
I’m not gonna lie to you, man.
You hit, like, fucking hard
for an old fucker.
[chuckling] You think I punch hard?
You have no idea what’s coming.
You got to be kidding me.
He started it.
Seriously?
You’re supposed to be the adult here.
Hey. What about me?
You’re a developmentally arrested narcissist
with anger issues.
[James snickering] And do you really want to pull my focus right now?
No, don’t laugh.
Don’t get me started on you.
You’re a passive-aggressive control freak.
I’m passive?
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Shut up.
You’re both juggling enough crippling daddy issues to keep you in therapy for the rest of your lives, but instead, you just pound on each other like fucking cavemen.
[Kai] Mom, guess what. I just…
[Leila] Oh, Kai.
Whoa. What happened?
Me and your dad just beat up on the bad guys.
Looks like they beat you up.
Nah, we wrecked those guys.
Your mother did this to us.
No, you don’t get to do that.
Yuck. Get a room.

[Valentina] Why is your house a crime scene?
Oh, shit. I forgot about that.
[scoffs] You know what? I don’t want to know.
Millie said your mail was piling up, so I stopped by to pick it up.
You have a package and… a bunch of overdue bills… no surprise there.
There’s a package? Who’s it from?
Uh, someone… from Hawaii?
Holy shit.
It’s the package the yakuza was looking for.
What’s in it?
You think I’d open your mail?
Nenê.
It’s a thumb drive.
Okay, baby, listen.
Don’t call me that.
I need you to bring me the thumb drive.
I’m gonna send you a ticket to Oahu.
You’re in Hawaii?
This whole time?
I wanted to go there with you.
You told me you were never going back.
I will explain everything once you get here.
I promise.
Oh, okay. Great.
[drops mail on seat]
Except I’m not going to Hawaii.
Nenê.
I’ll FedEx it to you.
No, listen. It’s too important.
You have no idea what’s going on here.
And I don’t want to know.

We’re in Hawaii, and I got a leather coat on.
I look stupid. Do I look stupid?
[James] Just take it off.
Take it off? Take it off, right.
The muscles. How do my muscles look?
Yeah, you’re good.
Show the muscles?
You’re good. You look jacked.

I’m staying for a day, I’m going to the beach,
and then I’m gonna go home.
Okay.
Is that your brother?
Yeah.
Hey. James. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
He looks like you, only smarter.
[chuckles]
Hey, aloha, beautiful.
I just want to introduce myself.
My name is Pika.
If you need anything, let me know.
I’m your guy.
Bro, she’s not your guy.
Did you bring the flash drive?
[woman over speakers] Welcome to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.
[announcement continues indistinctly]
I can’t thank you enough.
This is… lifesaver. Got it.
You can handle this?
Yes, no worry.
You look so beautiful. I just…
[Valentina] Nope.
Not gonna happen.
Damn, right in the olos, huh?
[James] I like her.
Might want to pick up your balls.
Get my balls? Yeah?
Just our love language, bro.
Treats me like shit, and I love it.
[♪ Player sings “Baby Come Back”]
♪ Baby, come back, oh, baby…
[Valentina] So, you’re telling me your estranged father, who you haven’t even spoken to in 20 years, was murdered by the yakuza for this thumb drive?
[Jonny] Did I tell you it’s really good to see you?
Like, really good.
Can you get in?
Of course I can get in.
Fuck me.
I can’t get in. Shit.
Why? What’s up?
[sighs] I don’t know, some kind of banking firewall or something.
It’s a cold wallet.
It’s digitally encrypted.
The drive is the key.
So whoever’s account this is, they need the drive in order to access their money.
And Pika, if he hacks it, then we’ll be able to get the money, we’ll find out who it is.
Yep. Except he can’t.
He needs the seed phrase… randomly generated 12 words that only the account holder has.
How many words?
Twelve.
Try these.
Where’d you get that?
It was in Walter’s stuff.
So, uh, you two been chasing murderers in a minivan?
Yeah.
Yeah, he blew up my other car.
Yeah, doesn’t surprise me at all.
That’s not what happened.
Literally what happened.
No, it’s not. I actually saved your life.
Remember when I saved your life,
how cool that was?
No, you didn’t.
[Pika] Can you two shut up, please?
Remember?
I’m trying to focus back here.
This is what I’ve been dealing with.
Oh, dude, trust me, I know.
I lived with him.

[Pika] Mm.
Wow, $12 million going into the same account over three years?
Whose account?
I’m trying to see.
It went through several offshore accounts and then into the same account in the Cayman Islands, uh, belonging to a…
[sounding out] “Mayhoe” P.A.
Peter Mahoe. No fucking way.
Bro.
You know him?
Know him? Brah, everybody knows him.
He’s the governor.
Holy shit.
[Haunani] Governor.
[suspenseful music playing]
Governor.
Hey.
Hey.
How’s Jonny doing?
Ah, he’s Jonny.
Thank you, by the way, for getting him out of jail.
Well, the trick is not getting him out, it’s keeping him out.
Right?
What was he thinking, attacking Robichaux like that?
That’s what I wanted to talk to you about.
I think there might be more to Robichaux then we first thought.
Robicocks wants to build a casino resort in Hawaii but he needs someone to legalize gambling and he wants to build it on Hawaiian Home Lands.
Right, so for $12 million he buys himself a governor and then he brings in the yakuza for extra muscle.
But Walter’s kicking up dirt for Robicocks’s wife and stumbles across the freaking motherlode.
These are plans for a resort and casino to be built on Hawaiian Home Lands no less.
Well, he can draw up whatever plans he wants but I’m telling you, Nani, it’s not going to happen on my watch.
Tomorrow, I’m gonna ask for a comprehensive review of all Robichaux’s projects on the island.
Okay.
Good work, Nani.
I’ll take these.
Oh. Thank you, Uncle.
♪ ♪
[James] And then that kid, the one that Rennert brought up from the ocean…
Simi Iona.
Right, the government accountant.
Walter must’ve found him, and he got him to download all those dirty transactions.
Maybe blackmail?
Maybe he’s a whistleblower?
Snitch witch.
Either way, he gave Walter that drive.
Right.
Peter figures it out so he’s got to get it back before everything comes out.
He calls Robichaux, Robichaux calls the yakuza…
Then they torture the accountant who gives up Walter.
And then they kill Walter.
Then they kill Walter.

I’ve had a long day of fucking up all your businesses so why don’t we skip the foreplay and just get right to the banging.
Sure.
Ready? Fuck.

[laughing] Did you really think you could stop me?
That meatheads like the two of you can stop a man like me?
You stopped nothing, Jonny, ’cause you are nothing.
That’s what you are.
All you ever did was annoy me, like a mosquito buzzing in my ear.
[buzzing]
In a minute, you’ll be dead, Jonny.
And within a year, my casino will be built.
And there’s no one on this island to get in my way.
[laughing] So you and your brother and your pathetic father… you all died for nothing, Jonny.
[gun clicks]
You tried to take something that’s mine.
But nobody takes anything from me.
[panting]
Fuck.
I did take one thing from you.
Yeah, and what’s that?

You are under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder.
What they hell are you talking about?
[handcuffs rattling]
[Rennert] Yeah, we also got you for bribery, but, uh, we can get into all that
back at the station, yeah?
[handcuffs clicking]
This is ridiculous.
Let’s go.
The audacity of it all.
Uh-huh. Mmhmm.
All of this mess, it’s all Robichaux.
Mmhmm.
I was set up.
[quiet, tense music playing]
Nani. James.
Jonny.
You’ve known me all your lives.
I was trying to protect you.
I’ve given everything I have for you!
I was more of a father to the two of you than Walter ever was!
So don’t stand there and judge me!
Nani.
Please, Nani.
Don’t turn your back on me now.
Nani.
I will clear all this mess up!
Nani! We’re family!
All right, that’s enough.
Get him in there.

Hey, Mom.
I’m sorry it took me so long to come home.
I’m sorry about a lot of things.
I think…
I think maybe staying angry this whole time was my way of just, um… holding on to you.
But I know that’s not what you would’ve wanted for me.
[sighs]
[James] Who’s hungry?
[Valentina] Yes!
[Jonny] She’s a great woman.
You would’ve liked her a lot.
I don’t know if I’ll get another chance with her… because she’s stubborn, like you.
But if I do…
…I’m gonna try to get it right this time.
[Mr. K] Hey, Jonny boy.
I see you still on my island, brah.
Yeah, well, it turns out it’s my island, too.
Everything’s cool, Jonny.
Much aloha.
Mm.
[Mr. K chuckling]
Oh, that healed up really good, brah.
Do you like it?
I like it.
Yeah, that’s cool.
[feigns laughing]
You know, brah, all the illegal gambling here in Hawaii nei goes through the Syndicate.
But then there’s the yakuza, brah, who make a deal with Robichaux’s team.
So what am I to do, brah?
Well, I could pick a fight with the yakuza, a war, and plenty of my people die, they make.
So you let us do it for you.
Right.
You could’ve helped.
Yeah. I let you live.
[paper rustling]
What’s this?
A little token of my aloha, brah.
It’s the name of the man who killed your mother.
And it wasn’t one of mine.
This does not make us friends.
I think it does.
Fuck you, fat shit.
Sorry, Mama.
