Ep 12. Desperate Measures

Magnum P.I. season 2 episode 12, titled "Desperate Measures," follows the adventures of Thomas Magnum, a private investigator, who is once again caught up in a complex case. This time, he is hired to investigate a diamond heist at a jewelry store. The owner of the store claims that the burglars stole a valuable diamond, known as the "Desperate Measures," and demands Magnum's help in finding it.

As Magnum begins his investigation, he realizes that the case is not as simple as it seems. The jewelry store owner, Albert Stanburry, seems to have a lot of secrets, and the detectives assigned to investigate the case are not willing to cooperate with Magnum. Moreover, there are several other interested parties involved in the case, including the insurance agency and the previous owner of the diamond.

Magnum's investigation leads him and his team to a wealthy businessman who seems to be suspiciously interested in the diamond. The businessman, named Wallace Larkin Jr., claims to have no knowledge of the heist or the diamond but is willing to purchase it from the detective. Magnum is convinced that Larkin knows more than he is letting on and decides to dig deeper.

Meanwhile, Higgins, Magnum's trusted ally and confidante, is dealing with her own troubles. She is forced to confront Thomas about his recent flakiness when it comes to their partnership and asks him to make a commitment to their work and friendship. Magnum is taken aback by Higgins' frankness and realizes that he needs to step up and become a more dependable partner.

As the investigation deepens, Magnum learns that there is more to the heist than just a diamond theft. The diamond was a part of a much larger scheme involving international smuggling and money laundering. The criminals involved are ruthless and are willing to do anything to get their hands on the diamond.

Magnum and his team race against time to find the diamond and bring the criminals to justice. Their journey takes them through a series of adventures and dangers, culminating in a thrilling showdown where they come face-to-face with the dangerous criminals.
