Aloha Page #2

---

- He got married and divorced...

- I lived a full life.

...from a fake heiress.

Oh, yeah. Homegirl took him down.

But before that all came apart,

there was greatness in this guy.

Oh, now you're gonna compliment me?

He's got kind of...

...like a chilly presence.

Like, you look into his eyes

and it's miles of blue.

He's just a brilliant...

...compelling, innovative...

...commanding...

Stop it.

...fricking wreck of a guy.

He's like a...

A sad city coyote.

You know?

- Okay. I love you too, Mom.

- Wow. A great relation with your mother.

Hey, look up at 10:37 tonight because

there is a Jupiter-moon conjunction...

...that you will not wanna miss.

Okay, good night.

A double espresso.

Morning, sir. I'm so jacked for today.

Make that a triple.

Thank you for the camaraderie, sir.

- I didn't say anything, captain.

- No, it's your manner.

I find your manner very down-to-earth.

You have links to the National

Reconnaissance Office, don't you?

Even if I was NRC), captain,

I couldn't tell you, but I'm not.

You were trained top to bottom...

...on every aspect

of maintaining these birds.

How did you end up supervising

a gate blessing? If I may.

I'm sad.

You were listening?

I mean, honey--

I'm not even a guy who says "honey."

--- you got a baritone built for Broadway.

- Sh*t.

- Oh, shoot. Shoot, shoot, sh*t.

- Well, which is it?

- Is it "sh*t" or "shoot"?

- I am deeply offended by myself, sir.

Let me ease you off

the sh*t-shoot mountain, captain.

I work for Global One.

Carson Welch is a private citizen...

...who outfits struggling countries

with communications and freedom.

- Private citizen?

- Mm-hm.

Communications and freedom?

- L'll withhold my comment, sir.

- Good.

Don't text your father about

the washer, honey. He's in Kuwait.

Why is he always in the places

where the war is over?

Oh, I don't know, sweetie.

That's why

your mom takes long walks.

Mitchell, time to put the camera down

and join the land of the living here.

- What's different about you, Mom?

- Hmm?

Your bad mood's not convincing.

Okay, drink water, not soda,

and I don't want you to eat too late.

Gracie, work on your formal dress like

we talked about. Mitchell, camera down.

Next sign of the Arrival:

Ancient Hawaiian spirits

begin to appear.

This place has a lot of mana.

That's Hawaiian for--

I know what it means, captain.

Power and spirit.

Mm-hm.

- We're stuck.

- No, we're not. I know a shortcut.

- Yeah?

- Right up that hill.

- Can you make that, captain?

- Oh, I can make that.

Do you need help?

- Watch your step.

- Ah.

Do I need help? Heh.

Super good, captain.

Super, super good.

You hung around the bush I

Like you were woodsmoke I

Spirits playing spoons

With your bones a'

And I could feel you in the air a'

You taught me how to be

A working man N

- Captain.

- Yes?

When we get to the Kingdom, I'm gonna

need Bumpy all to myself, you know that.

It'll be a beautiful dance, sir.

You know, I was once a dancer.

- I broke my tibia. Joined the Air Force.

- Yeah, well, I dance alone.

I'll back you up.

We all work together. It's life.

We got three wars going on right now.

We're not in Coachella...

...waiting for the Molly to kick in

so we can writhe in the mud...

...and wait for Tupac's hologram

to come on and make us feel things.

- Understood.

- Good.

You're cynical. I get it. I really do.

Call it what you will, captain. I go hard,

I go deep, sometimes I break things.

Okay?

- Okay.

- There will come a point...

...I'm gonna give you a look.

That means it's Brian's time.

Who's Brian?

I'm Brian!

"Miles of blue," remember?

You never had a partner?

I know your ex-wife gave you

the heave a year ago.

Hey. That'd be off-limits repartee for us,

captain. I lone-wolfed it all the way.

- That's who I am. End of speech.

- Understood.

By the way,

my ex-spouse did not give me the heave.

She met some rich guy

who sold comic books.

In this economy,

that's enough to vaporize a marriage.

You get replaced

by a comic book version of yourself.

Nobody wants to live where they are.

They wanna be in a fantasy. All right?

She gave me the heave.

Boy, did she blow it.

- If I may. And you have to know that.

- I know what you're doing.

You're not gonna pick my brains.

They're unpickable.

And your attempt to get under my hood

and ask barbed questions is, frankly...

Fantastic.

Thank you.

What is that?

I'm tempted to say menehune.

They're like Hawaiian leprechauns.

Or chipmunks. It's something.

Ah!

There is a lot of mana up here.

Upside-down flag.

Symbol of a nation in distress.

We're here.

Nice shortcut, by the way.

Who this?

- You lost?

- Afternoon. Ahem. Here to see the king.

You can stop right there.

- We're--

- Ha.

I'm Brian Gilcrest.

That name will carry weight

with the king.

No?

There he is.

Love of country.

- So you're a paycheck warrior now.

- Ah.

Plaything of billionaires,

in bed with the military.

I just need a little help.

This is Captain Ng.

- Aloha, Captain Ng.

- Aloha.

Heard you blew up in Afghanistan.

You looked better

when you were younger.

- Oh, thank you.

- So pale now.

Keith Richards looks like a teenager

next to you.

Okay. Okay.

BUMPY". One year, I went out and

played poker. Didn't do anything else.

Like, maybe five, six years ago.

First game was on a military base.

This black guy,

could've been 20-something years old...

...and I'm like all anti-military, U.S.,

the whole thing, right?

He comes to me and goes,

"Uncle, you like warm water?"

Ha-ha-ha.

- And I go, "Right on, brother."

And that was it. That changed

my whole turn on military.

So a military? Bigtime respect for them

when they're doing the right things.

It's an honor to be here.

It's just a budget thing, Bumpy.

We're combining two bases

and moving the pedestrian gate...

...and you can move the bones wherever,

not one tibia will be out of place.

We just need a 20-minute blessing.

My people respect you, and they want

your approval for the community.

- Carson Welch is--

- Sir--

Ooh. Your people are crooks.

Children of white missionary that

stole our country in 1893. You get it.

Bumpy, mohe, my old friend, this

is your nation, but we are in America.

Yeah, under military occupation.

You're on the wrong side, brah.

You hungry?

Great to see you. Aloha.

Come on, brah.

The word is,

something big coming through.

Gonna threaten the whole world.

Something in the sky.

Weapons, maybe.

- Don't know anything about that.

- No. No, king.

- Captain.

- That would be a violation...

...of the Outer Space Peace Treaty

of 1967.

The sky belongs to no one country

and no weapons shall exist in the sky.

The sky is sacred.

The shelter over all of us.

Working for the military here,

I am authorized to offer the Kingdom this.

Fourteen agriculturally-perfect acres

on the other side of this mountain.

- Now, Sunday--

- Ahem.

Hmm?

Sunday at 10, we swing a ceremony.
