Catherine[opens the door and is shocked to see Steve's sister Mary] Oh! Hi.
Catherine
Um...Steve had to leave for work, and he told me I should just let myself out, so...um...you must be––
The sister. I'm Mary. Yeah, I'm just visiting from L.A.. [smirks at Catherine] Big night last night.
Catherine
Hmm?
Catherine
[covers her face in embarrassment] Oh, God!
[grins at Cath's reaction] Yeah. You said that a lot.
Catherine
It's embarrassing.
Don't sweat it. I just broke up with my boyfriend, so I plan on having a lot of guys over soon. So it'll be a fair fight.
[Catherine has deployment orders to the USS Enterprise, but McGarrett has other ideas, topped by Valentine's Day chocolates]
Catherine Rollins
So, uh what's with the bag and the uniform?
I felt bad that our weekend got blown up by a case. And, uh I figured since I was due for my reserve drill, I'd put in a request to, um, to do it on the Enterprise.
Catherine
Really?
Catherine
Huh. You know, that's, um so much better than chocolate. [embraces] Steve]
I thought you'd like that.
Catherine
Yeah. Now, you know that you will also be doing your reserve with about 3,000 other sailors, right? So, we're not gonna get a whole lot of time together
Right. Yeah but, um it's a really long flight.
Catherine
So, uh, your mom faked her own death and she's Shelburne. Well, if you didn't have mommy issues before this––
Catherine
I try.
Come on, I'll introduce you. Doris, this is Lieutenant Rollins. She's on leave from Naval Intelligence.
He refuses to call me Mom.
Catherine
Nice to meet you, ma'am.
Lieutenant Rollins, I told my son I didn't really need anyone to look out for me.
Catherine
Oh, he's just being overprotective, ma'am. It's a SEAL thing, and please call me Catherine.
[Steve is woken up by a sound from downstairs and Catherine is now awake because of him. Steve gets his gun.]
[sees Catherine taking the baseball bat] What do you think you're doing?
Catherine
There's somebody downstairs.
Which is why you're gonna stay up here where it's safe.
Catherine
[scoffs] Oh, don't be a caveman. I'm coming with you.
[sternly] No. You're not.
Catherine
Then you're coming with me. [tiptoes out of the room]
You look like you're ready to report to SEAL Team Six, pal.
'Cause I was thinking. I know you said no weapons and all?
But if you let me borrow some of those smoke grenades, I'm really gonna look legit.
Catherine
What could possibly go wrong?
You know, no, no. We discussed that earlier. No, no, uh, heavy ordnances, okay?
[Steve and Catherine are watching a movie together on his couch.]
Catherine
[grins] I don't know what's sadder. The fact that you use this lame movie to hook up with girls, or the fact that it actually worked.
[mischievously] Clearly I don't know what you're talking about.
Catherine
Oh please, you put on a scary movie with the girl falling in your arms. It's all just a little bit obvious.
Catherine
Don't beat yourself up about that. Grace is at the age where, you know, she's discovering her independence.
She's 10. What independence? And if I can't compete now, what's gonna happen when she gets to high school?
Catherine
Wait till she starts dating.
Dating? [Catherine nods her head] What, are you trying to make me feel better? You're not doing a very good job.
Catherine
You know, when I was a little girl, my father used to work a lot, too. And he was in the Navy, so sometimes he'd be gone for months at a time.
Catherine
A lot, yeah. But that was the sacrifice that he had to make for his country. Just like your dad's had to make sacrifices for his job, which is keeping this island safe. I know it's really hard to be away from your family, Grace, but that's why it's really important to make the most of the time that you guys have together.
Did you think Danno was sad that I didn't go trick-or-treating with him?
Catherine
Mm, I think maybe a little bit. But I'm sure you can make it up to him.
[While he and Danny are driving to a suspect's house, Steve calls Catherine for a favor.]
Catherine
Lieutenant Catherine Rollins, assistant to Steve McGarrett. How can I help you?
[Danny is chuckling in the background] [embarrassed] Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, I can't live without you?
[whispers to Steve] No, no, she's way too smart to fall for that.
Catherine
You really think I'm gonna fall for that?
Catherine
[joins Steve on the couch] Well, I can't believe that you passed up my grandmother's ragù for a beef stew MRE.
Catherine
For military rations?
Can you do me a favor and pass me that canteen behind you there, please? [points to the canteen on Catherine's side]
Catherine
You know what, I got my camo in the car. If you want, I can throw them on and we can play out this whole "trapped in a foxhole" fantasy thing you got going on right now.
[Steve looks at Catherine for a few seconds and they start making out on the couch.]
Catherine
Hi.
Hey. What the, uh, what the hell is this?
Catherine
What, I can't surprise Steve at work?
No, you can do that. I'm talking about the, uh, the jersey.
Catherine
Oh, oh, well, we moved around a lot when I was a kid, so you know, I never stayed in one place long enough to get tied to a team.
Oh, so you willingly root for the Dallas Cowboys, huh?
Catherine
Yeah. Come on. Who doesn't like America's team?
And, uh, if I recall correctly, my Redskins humiliated your Cowboys the last time they played.
That's very cute. You got a Cowboys fan dating a Redskins fan. That's like the Capulets and the Montagues.
Catherine
(chuckles) That's good. I'm gonna give you an A plus for that literary reference.
Oh, you got that? Thanks. Yeah.
Catherine
But actually, um, I came here with a peace offering for Steve. See, the NFL hooked up my unit with some tickets for the game tomorrow. So, you and I are going to the Pro Bowl. What? (laughs)
I'm already going with Danny.
Catherine
You're...
We got 50 yard line seats. Best seats in the house.
We got them this morning. I'm sorry.
Catherine
That's... that's cool. Okay. Um, you know what, my seats are-are pretty good. So I'm sure I can find someone else to take it. It's good.
I'm gonna just let that awkward moment fade out a little bit. We got a bar to go to.
For a case. We're going to a bar for a case.
Catherine
Okay.
Hey, why don't we do some tailgating before the game together? You and me?
Catherine
Yeah, I would love that. But I don't want to get in the way of your man-date with Danny.
Catherine
[grins] No.
Anyway, Kamekona already invited himself, so it's fine; you're not getting in the way. [smirks and kisses Catherine]
Catherine
Mmm, that's a three-way bromance. Cute.
[Steve is teaching Kamekona how to fly a helicopter using a flight simulator video game at his house]
Ten-year post-parole plan is working out. I got my shave ice, I got my shrimp, and when I officially open Kamekona's Island Tours, that'll be my entrepreneurial peak. Like King Kamehameha landing on Waikiki, I'll rule Oahu.
[Catherine comes back from a surf sporting a bikini. Kamekona and Steve both look at her]
Catherine
Aw boys and their toys. How cute.
This ain't no toy, sistah.
That's right. This is the most technologically advanced flight simulator on the market.
Catherine
Huh. Well, it looks a whole lot like a video game to me.
[Steve and Kamekona turn back to the video game]
SKSteve and Kamekona
[on TV screen, simulator helicopter is about the crash] Oh up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up! What are you doing? Pull up! Pull up! Pull up, up, up, up, - up, up - Oh!
Catherine
[amused at their reaction] Got two words for you: game over!
If you crash a helicopter full of paying customers, it's not gonna be good for your tour business. You understand?
I was distracted, brah. Sistah came in dressed like that. How am I supposed to not look?
Catherine
Aw. Kammy, if you hadn't crashed in the middle of the ocean, I might have taken you out for a drink.
That's the beauty of a flight simulator. When you flame out, just hit restart.
[...]
[after he gets called to a case, to Cath] I got to go. See you later?
Catherine
Hope so.
Don't worry. I'll bring her back in one piece.
Repeat after me: Altitude is my friend.
"Altitude is my friend." Roger that.
[Steve is telling Catherine about Freddie and flashes back to when he had just stopped Freddie from quitting BUD/S training by ringing the chief's bell, then Joe White ordered them to bearcrawl back to barracks in the rain]
Yeah, it was just me and your old man and a bottle of whiskey. All right, and he opened up to me, started giving me this speech about how a man needs something to believe in, something to fight for. And according to him, there was no greater cause than the United States of America.
FFreddie
He said all that, huh?
You know what else he said? He said the proudest moment of his life is when you joined up for SEALs.
[present time]
They say every BUD/S class has its surprises. Freddie was ours. After that night, he was unstoppable. He became the best student, the toughest soldier, the guy that everybody could depend on. He never, ever gave up.
Catherine
I think some of it must have rubbed off on you.
Catherine
What exactly you drinking there?
That is snake's blood and rice wine.
It's also an aphrodisiac.
36 hours of lead in your pencil, and doesn't cost $13 a pill.
You know? That's too much information, Frank.
