Steve, I heard the Governor's coming over to see you. You know what that's all about?

No, Danno. I wonder if he is coming over to pay his respects to me.

Respects for what?

Well, that's the question, Danno. I know it's a one-in-a-million shot, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the ceremony they still owe me.

What?

(lost in thought)

Yeah. Yeah. Sure. That time when I pulled that little kid out of that mudslide up on the Kalua Wiki trail. Remember?

I seem to remember a construction worker pulling a child from the mud. You just watched. Something about not wanting to get your new wingtips messed up.

MCGARRETT SHOOTING HIS LIEUTENANT A COLD STARE.

Well, that's what I remember. Chin was there. Why don't you ask him?

Danno, do I detect an undercurrent of insolence?

I don't know. Do you?

(McGarrett, in disbelief.)

Get out! Get out right now! But before you go, Danno, can you turn on the light over there by the sofa, please?

Well, Mr. Governor, I do see the need for a pedestrian crosswalk between the park and the porta-potties you own. But, isn't this subject one that we could let the city decide?

Steve, if we can't see eye to eye on this you leave me no alternative.

What? Alternative? What is this, some sort of intimidation?

(beat)

Hey. Where's my ceremony? Don't I deserve a quasi-ostentatious ceremony for saving that little girl. Remember?

GOVERNOR HAS HAD ENOUGH AND GETS UP TO LEAVE.

Mr. Governor?

(beat)

MCGARRETT SENSING HE MAY HAVE STRUCK A NERVE, ACTING COY

Well then, I guess you're not interested in the new revolutionary secret weapon for crime control I've developed?

GOVERNOR STOPS AND TURNS BACK TO FACE MCGARRETT.

Yeah. Here, let me show it to you.

MCGARRETT GOES TO HIS CLOSET AND PULLS OUT WHAT LOOKS LIKE A HAT BOX

Well, this is it!

What? What is it?

(the governor looks puzzled)

It's my secret weapon that's going to make criminals wish they never saw my great state. Ah, your great state, sir.

(beat)

Here's how it works.

MCGARRETT DONS A NET HELMET AND GLOVES AND REACHES INTO BOX AND PULLS OUT WHAT APPEARS TO BE A HUMMING HORNET'S NEST

Hey! You fool.

(swatting bees)

Ow! Hey, get rid of that thing, you idiot!

(running for the door)

Ow! McGarrett!

But Governor. It's a secret weapon. It's not a bee's nest. It's high tech. Honest.

High tech? Oh. Well, why didn't you say so? I thought it was just a bee's nest. I knew that nobody was stupid enough to try to pass off a bee's nest for new secret weapon.

MCGARRETT LOOKS PUZZLED.

(ready to exit the room)

Where's Danno? He's chief now.

MCGARRETT PUTS THE NEST BACK IN THE BOX AND WINDS UP AND KICKS IT OVER TOWARD THE GOVERNOR. HORNETS ARE EVERYWHERE.

Oh yeah?
