[Steve McGarrett has finally met his mother - and he wants some answers]
Yeah, why don't we start with Shelburne.
Shelburne was the code name the agency gave me. I'm s -I'm sorry.
Agency? What agency?
Before I met your father, I worked for an intelligence program that reported directly to the Pentagon.
You were a spy?
Yes.
So, all those years that I thought you were a a schoolteacher, that was just a cover. And, um, were me and Mary just a cover, too?
Shelburne was way before you and Mary.
How'd you meet Wo Fat's father?
He was an assignment.
So, you were ordered to kill him.
It was a little more complicated than that.
Well, we got some time, so why don't you why don't you uncomplicate it?
Okay. Like you, I served my country, but after I got married, I left the agency because I wanted to be a mother. Unfortunately, I could change my name, but not my past.
That's why you pretended to be dead?
When I made that choice, I knew that my life would never be the same. I knew that I would have to give up the only thing that meant anything to me- my family.
So, why'd you do it, Doris? If that's even your real name.
It was the name I was born with, and the name the name I went back to the day I met your father. [indignant at son's tone] And since when does a son call his mother by her first name?
Since you failed to be one, 20 years ago.
I didn't see any other options, Steve. [pause] Wo Fat was looking for the person who murdered his father and he was willing to kill anyone who stood in his way.
So you faked your own death?!?
Yeah, I did what I had to do to protect my family.
