- Thomas Magnum: Morning, boys.
- Theodore 'TC' Calvin: Oh, hell no. We agreed to help put together your barbecue. You ain't say nothing about slaughtering no damn chickens.
- Thomas Magnum: Relax, we're not gonna kill Beaker and Chick Norris. This is just my payment for the Kawailoa job.
- Orville 'Rick' Wright: Curious, do you even take cash anymore?
- Theodore 'TC' Calvin: [hearing a truck beeping nearby] What's that?
- Thomas Magnum: I have no idea.
- Theodore 'TC' Calvin: Wait a minute. That's four words that the head of security here should never say.
- Thomas Magnum: [turning to leave] I'll be right back.
- Orville 'Rick' Wright: You know what? Twenty bucks says he planned that just to get out of helping us.
- Thomas Magnum: How did the tow truck get ahold of the Ferrari?
- Juliett Higgins: It was simple, really. They just fit brackets to the wheels so that the towing mechanism can safely lift the car onto the back of the truck.
- Kumu: What'd you think? They yank it up with a big hook like in the cartoons?
- Thomas Magnum: No, I mean, like, why did they tow it away?
- Juliett Higgins: Well, that's also simple. After you damaged the Ferrari, the check that you cut for the repairs bounced. So the Ferrari's gonna remain repossessed until you can pay the debt.
- Thomas Magnum: Well, clearly, I just needed a little more time. Why didn't you cover me?
- Juliett Higgins: I think he's missing the point here, Kumu.
- Thomas Magnum: Look, all you had to do was not open the gate and let the tow truck in, right? Kumu?
- Kumu: I'm staying out of this. Think of me as Hawaiian Switzerland.
- Thomas Magnum: The Ferrari is Robin's property. Your job is to literally look after his property.
- Juliett Higgins: With the exception of the Ferrari, which he entrusted to you, making it your responsibility.
- Thomas Magnum: Oh, okay, I get it. This is some, I don't know, bizarro-twisted way of teaching me a lesson.
- Juliett Higgins: A lesson in responsibility that is well-deserved and long overdue. I mean, now you have to tell Robin about why he's got one less Ferrari.
- Thomas Magnum: You know, you're treating me like I'm twelve years old.
- Juliett Higgins: [scoffing laugh] I would never. I mean, you have nowhere near the maturity of a twelve year old.
- Thomas Magnum: She's just doing this to mess with me.
- Juliett Higgins: That's not true. Part of my job as majordomo of this estate is keeping the employees at Robin's Nest accountable. I'm just doing my job.
- Thomas Magnum: Then why are you smiling?
- Travis Leet: Thank you all for coming in today. If you're in this room, it's because you're one of the top bounty hunters or private investigators on the island.
- Luther H. Gillis: Well, Thomas Magnum's here, too.
- [he laughs, but no one else does]
- Luther H. Gillis: Just... tough crowd.
- Travis Leet: Your job is to track down a man named Skip Jenkins. These dossiers have everything you need to know about him. He skipped bail, and I have 24 hours to bring him in.
- Thomas Magnum: Uh, wait, so a guy named Skip skipped bail?
- Luther H. Gillis: [everyone laughs] Really? My joke was way funnier than that.
- Luther H. Gillis: You go from a red Ferrari to a turquoise Vespa? You realize P.I.s are supposed to be inconspicuous, right?
- Thomas Magnum: I take what I can get.
- Luther H. Gillis: Not me. My Honda Accord was voted most boring car by at least four different websites.
- Willa Stone: If you didn't notice, he's proud of that fact.
- Juliett Higgins: Should I even ask how you two got into this predicament?
- Thomas Magnum: Well, long story short, Luther's kind of a terrible mentor.
- Luther H. Gillis: I'm disappointed in Willa, but oddly... also kind of proud.
- Thomas Magnum: Yeah, we gotta ping her cell phone, see if we can get that laptop back. Higgins, could you...
- Juliett Higgins: Happy to help.
- Thomas Magnum: Wow. That was... easier than I thought. It's almost like you actually care.
- Juliett Higgins: I care about Sergeant Howl, Magnum, not about you.
- Thomas Magnum: Whatever works.
- Detective Gordon Katsumoto: [hearing the mayor is on the phone] Hello?
- Thomas Magnum: Katsumoto.
- Detective Gordon Katsumoto: I should've known.
- Thomas Magnum: [snickering] I'm sorry, man. I... I really needed to talk to you, and I didn't want you screening my call.
- Detective Gordon Katsumoto: What do you want, Magnum?
- Thomas Magnum: Well, I am, uh, working on a case...
- Detective Gordon Katsumoto: You're tracking down Skip Jenkins.
- Thomas Magnum: How'd you know?
- Detective Gordon Katsumoto: Because every P.I. and bounty hunter in town is tracking down Skip Jenkins.
- Thomas Magnum: Eh, come on, admit it. Out of all the private investigators on the island, I think you hate me the least.
- Detective Gordon Katsumoto: It's debatable.
- Juliett Higgins: So, what is on this laptop, exactly?
- Thomas Magnum: I don't know.
- Juliett Higgins: You had TC get into an accident for no reason at all?
- Thomas Magnum: No, it's connected to Barry's cloud. I want to see what his recent activity was before he was murdered.
- Juliett Higgins: Why didn't you just say that?
- Thomas Magnum: Hey, Higgy, uh, can you do me a favor and track someone down?
- Juliett Higgins: Again? Who is it this time?
- Thomas Magnum: Me.
- Juliett Higgins: Thomas, what have you gotten yourself into?
- Thomas Magnum: A crate with about 200 pounds of cocaine.
- Juliett Higgins: You kept your promise. I hope that makes up for the fact there's no reward.
- Thomas Magnum: Absolutely.
- Juliett Higgins: Maybe now he'll be able to get a little more closure.
- Thomas Magnum: Yeah. I think so. You know, my, um... my mom passed away when I was in Afghanistan. She had been... sick for a while, but, uh... she passed while I was in captivity.
- Juliett Higgins: You missed her funeral.
- Thomas Magnum: Yeah. I didn't even know she died until after I was released.
- Juliett Higgins: That's why you were willing to sacrifice the reward. You knew how important it was to him.
- Thomas Magnum: [narrating] I have a pretty good track record following my gut, and right now, my gut says Skip could be telling the truth.
- Skip Jenkins: Look, I-I know it's your job to bring me in, but if you care about who really killed Billy, I think the answer's in that warehouse.
- Thomas Magnum: [narrating] I know this job came from a bail bondsman, but the second I made a promise to Sergeant Howl, he became my client. My promise to him wasn't to bring Skip in for a big reward. It was to get justice for his dad.
