[Over dinner with the gang at the Honolulu Hilton, Chin Ho reflects on how he met Malia]
Chin Ho KellyThe very first time I laid eyes on Malia, was right here on this beach. I was, uh, staying here at the Hilton while my apartment was getting repainted. There she was. She was riding these little ankle slappers, and she still managed to lose her board. ... I found her board, of course, but I told her she couldn't get it back until she agreed to go out to dinner with me... It didn't quite work out, though. She told me I could keep it. And then, about a week later, I get a knock on my door from some surf shop saying that the board is actually theirs, and I owe them five days rental...When she heard the news, um, she felt pity on me, and she called me.
[watching a video of one of McGarrett's high school football games]
Chin Ho
Your dad couldn't stop screaming.
You were there with my dad?
CChin
Yeah. I was fresh out of the academy, he was my training officer. I'll tell you, any day that Steve McGarrett was starting at quarterback was an official day off.
[...]
I got one question. What’s a quarterback doing wearing the number fifty?
No, it’s not fifty, it’s five-0. It’s what my dad used to call our family, because we weren’t native Hawaiian. Five-0. I don’t know; it was his way of making us feel like we belonged somewhere I guess.
[Steve insists on Chin coming clean about his corruption charges to the IA review board]
Look Chin, listen this is gonna clear your name.
Chin Ho
Yeah, it will, but at what cost? My uncle was a righteous cop, Steve. In his 25 years, he put away hundreds of criminals. Guys that deserved to be off the streets. And if he's found guilty, they'll enact judicial review. All of his past convictions will be called into question. Guilty men will walk straight out of prison.
Let me call the governor.
Chin Ho
No. This is my problem. I'll handle it.
[Chin Ho receives a call on his cellphone - with Sgt Duke Lukela on the other end]
[sees arrest warrant notice on computer] You sure you don't want your old job back? 'Cause it looks like your current one isn't going to exist much longer. We have a warrant to arrest McGarrett for murder.
Chin Ho Kelly
[Ending the call] We've got a problem. HPD is on the way here right now to arrest you for killing Laura Hills.
[Danny witnesses Chin Ho and the HPD officers bring McGarrett out of the Governor's Mansion]
Hey! What the hell are you doing? What happened? Huh?
What are you talking about?
It was Wo Fat. You understand? It was Wo Fat, Danny.
Chin Ho
He was the only one there. His gun was just discharged. I can't let him go.
Yes, you can. We have jurisdiction. We're Five-0. Get him out.
Chin Ho
You don't understand, Danny. There is no Five-0 anymore.
[Danny sees Chin Ho Kelly back at the now-decommissioned Five-0 office]
What's up, buddy? You've been ducking me for about a week now.
Chin Ho Kelly
I've been a little busy.
You've been busy? What are you doing, putting more of your friends behind bars?
Chin Ho
[miffed] So you think I had a choice?
Chin Ho
McGarrett was standing over the governor's body with a gun in his hand, Danny. I had a full SWAT team right behind me, who saw exactly the same things. Now, what was I supposed to do?
That's a good question. I'm glad you asked. Because what I think that you should have done is let Five-O investigate, instead of dismantling it. Instead of running off and joining HPD.
[the former Five-0 gang try to find McGarrett after he bolts jail]
I can run his ID, trace his cell, run surveillance.
Chin Ho Kelly
How you gonna do that? You don't have access to HPD's database.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's not a good idea.
Chin Ho
You're not carrying a badge anymore, Kono. I can't guarantee HPD backup.
[chuckles] Definitely been hanging out with McGarrett too long now.
[Chin Ho, Danny and Steve talk about Lori Weston]
Chin Ho Kelly
What? Why wouldn't she last?
DDDanny 'Danno' Williams
Well, Let's see what she looks like when she gets done with Sgt. Slaughter's Boot Camp.
What's that supposed to mean?
Let's just try not to get the new girl blown up, kidnapped, or shot on her first day. That's all. Can we do that, Steven?
[Chin Ho Kelly is caught by surprise about Internal Affairs investigating Kono]
Chin Ho Kelly
You're about to kill the career of a good cop because you think she did something wrong.
CVCapt. Vincent Fryer
I know - she did something wrong. The apple doesn't fall far from the family tree.
Chin Ho
This isn't about me.
FFryer
You're right. It isn't. The governor wants to make it very clear that there's a zero-tolerance policy with regards to crime and corruption. He's tasked me with cleaning up this department. Which is exactly what I'm going to do -starting with your cousin.
[Kono sees Chin again after being confronted over using his HPD database account to see her Internal Affairs case file]
Chin, I'm really not up for a lecture right now.
Chin Ho Kelly
Good, because I'm not here to give you one. I'm here to apologize. Everything you're going through right now I've been through myself. Getting kicked off the force, dealing with disappointment, the frustration, the anger. I remember what that felt like. And I also remember that the only person who stood by me through all of it was you. You're not alone in this, Kono. When you want to talk, I'll be here. [Kono embraces him]
[Having seen a big rock hit his Camaro's front windshield after stepping right into the Keiamanu heiau despite warnings from the Five-0 team not to desecrate it, Danny is furious that a bigger rock shattered the rear window]
How does this even happen?
Chin Ho
Maybe it's the result of completely dismissing an entire culture's spiritual beliefs.
[The gang sees Buffett's old Huey chopper]
Chin Ho
We're going up in that?
Is anyone else terrified?
It can't be that bad. [opens door and sees chickens in the passenger compartment] Ok, now I'm terrified.
[at Five-0 HQ, Chin notices Kono checking her phone while they talk about a case]
Chin Ho Kelly
Who was that?
Uh, nothing. I have someone I can just talk to later.
CChin
That somebody have a name?
What, I can't have a private life?
CChin
[giddly] Ooh. Is it a boy? Is he cute?
CChin
I knew something was up. You got that glow.
CChin
Uh-huh. Give it up. What's his name?
You'll find out when the time is right.
CChin
All right, be like that, but just remember who's going to walk you down the aisle.
Okay, that's going to be a very, very long ways away.
[a freshly-released Frank Delano has showed Chin Ho Kelly live videos of Kono and Malia, and Chin Ho wants answers]
'Cause you got away with it.
Chin Ho Kelly
Got away with what? What are you talking about?!
Everybody knows you're a dirty cop, Chin, but instead of having your life ruined like the rest of us, you, uh you get your badge back?
CChin
Hey, I didn't take any of that damn drug money.No.
No, but you knew who did, and you didn't say a word.
CChin
Let 'em go, Frank. Please. They got nothing to do with this.
Well, what happens to them is entirely up to you, Chin. Either one of them are The good news is, you have time to save one of them. Bad news unfortunately, the, uh the other one's gonna die.
CChin
You got what you wanted! You're out of jail. You got your revenge. Fryer is dead! Your cousin set me up, and then sent me to prison.
Want to save Kono, hmm? You get in that boat right there; you head due south. She's in a boat two miles offshore. You want to reach Malia- well she's at home waiting for you with, uh, dinner in the oven. [gasps] Chicken, I think.
CChin
You son of a bitch.
Hey, don't bother stopping to call HPD or your buddies, McGarrett and Williams. I got all the lines covered, you understand? Besides, you don't have time. You better get moving, Ace. Clock's ticking.
