S1 E15Unfinished Business

[McGarrett and HPD trap an intelligence agent who tailed McGarrett on Brent’s orders]

Book him.

AAgent

Wait a minute. You can’t do that!

Book him!

[McGarrett drives off]

OOfficer

[grinning] Mister, right now I’d hate to be your boss.

AGAttorney General

You have any idea of the red tape involved in getting an out-of-state body exhumed for autopsy?

Yes, sir. That’s why I came directly to the Attorney General.

AGAttorney General

In that case, the difficult we do immediately. The impossible takes us a little longer.

How much longer?

AGAttorney General

McGarrett, at times I get the distinct impression you think I work for you.

Oh no, sir.

AGAttorney General

You’re certain?

Oh yes, sir.

AGAttorney General

I’m glad one of us is.

You know, it's a funny thing. I'm used to Intelligence playing it cool. Really cool. But you seem more interested in a quiet funeral than in finding out who killed your man.

BBrent

You go ahead and think what you like, McGarrett.

Thanks. I usually do.

MMiller

Everybody knows that Steve McGarrett only takes orders from the Governor and God -- and occasionally even they have trouble.

[Governor sees McGarrett in dirty work clothes]

GGovernor

What’s the get-up for?

Well, sir...

GGovernor

Don’t tell me. Keep those work clothes handy. You may need them on your next job.

I don't like it. One stray shot on that deck and "Pow" -- 250,000 barrels of diesel. All of Honolulu harbor could go up.

You wanna live forever?

Uh-huh. I sure do.

RRRawlings/Reese

{after his latest victim dies} "Boring to the Last Breath....[Slightly misquoting Shakespeare] Full fathom five the widow lies; and Of her bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were her eyes; Nothing of her now that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring her knell: Hark! now I hear them - Ding-dong, bell.

There's no law that can force the rich to get richer.

SSkaggs

Well, there should be.

Anytime we can help you find another missing person, let us know. Peace, brother.

I don't like it.

Nobody asked you. [pause] Make up a complete cover history for her with documents to prove it. Can you have them by noon tomorrow?

Sure. Forgery was my best subject.

And then?

Then use your imagination and training. You’re a rich haole lady, and you want to disappear. What would you do?

Man, that would take a whole lot of imagination!

RRRawlings/Reese

{To his next prospective victim after she drops her poisoned glass}: "The Truth of the matter is...we's getting ready to Kill you"
