What happened this time, Wo Fat? Your luck run out?
No man is perfect, Mr. McGarrett. Every man's plans and designs are born of imperfect minds.
This is a genuine United States passport?
It is.
You profess to be a U.S. citizen?
I profess to be a citizen of the world... But Specifically for the moment I am as my passport declares.
Oh, that I am glad to hear... Because as a U.S. citizen, I can also charge you with treason... There's an irony for you. And with robbery and murder as well... And those charges, I guarantee, will stick.
Then I should be grateful for the abolition of capital punishment, should I not?
Had our places been exchanged...I would not have taken you alive...given the option however I can always count on you to preserve my life
That I Can believe... There's a man who been waiting longer than I have to see you
That would be Mr Jonathan Kaye
There's a plane waiting to take Mr. Wo Fat to Hong Kong.
[Rage building up] There's a what?
[Wo Fat is being released] Wo Fat is being returned to his government... The decision is firm.
Jonathan, this man is a murderer... There's a string of a dozen bodies tied to him!
Steve, I know that as well as you do... The decision is still irrevocable.
What do you mean it's "irrevocable"?... He committed crimes, capital crimes... This is my jurisdiction... Why is it irrevocable?
[With a smile] Mr. Kaye will explain as soon as I've left. You may keep the passport and the other few items as mementos, Mr. McGarrett... I wish you continued good health.
Steve McGarrett : [after Wo Fat departs] You sold me out, Jonathan... YOU SOLD ME OUT!
Jonathan Kaye : Wait a minute, Steve... Believe me, there was no choice.
THAT I CANNOT ACCEPT!
All right, Steve... You're entitled... There was a U2 incident.
That was under Eisenhower!
Not this one... This was three years ago over China. Only this time, no one banged a shoe on a table... This time the Chinese just took the pilot and threw him into an isolation cell. And they kept him there for three years, incommunicado... Now, Steve, we tried every formal negotion there is. They wouldn't even discuss it... Until today.
They're exchanging that pilot for Wo Fat?
That's right... Captain Ruassell Kempton is on his way home, Steve, today... You made it possible.
