Magnum, P.I.: Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii, Part 2 (1980)

Synopsis of Magnum, P.I.: Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii, Part 2

In the conclusion of Magnum, P.I.'s two-part opening episode (originally telecast as a single two-hour "TV movie"), Magnum (Tom Selleck) and Alice Cook (Pamela Susan Shoop) literally put their lives on the line to prove that Alice's sister, Navy lieutenant Dan Cook, died a hero--contradicting the government's insistence that Cook was part of an international drug-smuggling ring. The trail of clues leads to crime lord Philipe Trusseau (Roger Loggia), with whom Magnum had previously crossed swords in Vietnam. As with most TV pilots, there are significant differences between "Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii" and later Magnum, P.I. episodes. For example, Magnum's wartime buddy Rick (Larry Manetti is the owner of a nitery called "Café Americain" instead of his more familiar stamping grounds at the King Kamehameha club; also, the role of Moki the Bartender, later played by Rene Abillera, is here enacted by Branscombe Richard, while Jeff McKay, later seen on a semi-regular basis as Naval officer "Mac" MacReynolds, is cast on this occasion as "Ski" ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
