Go To

Figures. The one time Magnum actually has money, and it isn't even real.
Juliette Higgins

When Magnum finds himself in trouble with the Feds for using counterfeit currency his client paid him, the investigation reveals his client has been murdered... and his traitorous ex Hannah is involved. Then the lady herself turns up, needing Magnum's help.

Tropes:

  • Back for the Dead: Hannah returns and dies in Magnum's arms.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Hannah's father is freed from years of captivity, just in time to see his daughter die.
  • Call-Back: Hannah is back.
  • Did Not Think This Through: The gang discuss why Hannah betrayed them instead of simply asking for their help rescuing her father.
    T.C.: Why didn't she just ask us for help?
    Magnum: 'Cause we would have broken a dozen military laws and ended up in the brig.
    Higgins: What, so instead, she sells you out knowing full well that you're gonna end up in a Taliban POW camp?
  • I Have Your Wife: It turns out Hannah betrayed the gang to the Taliban to find the gold she needed to ransom her kidnapped father.
    Magnum: You remember Hannah telling us about her father?
    T.C.: Yeah. He was CIA. Went missing years ago. Presumed dead.
    Magnum: He's alive. Being held prisoner by a group of ex-CIA spooks. All dirty. On top of the food chain is this guy Jason Coburn. She found out about it when she was embedded with us, and... the ransom was a huge hoard of Iraqi gold. She got Intel on its location, but that Intel came at a price.
    Rick: Yeah, giving our location to the Taliban.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: The gang are baffled to say the least by Magnum's decision to harbour Hannah and treat her wound rather than call 911 (which to be fair was his initial response to seeing her, until she promised to explain why she betrayed them).
    Rick: That woman betrayed us. Got us sent to hell. She should be in jail.
