STEVE MCGARRETT IS POLISHING AN AWARD HE HAS RECENTLY RECEIVED.

THERE IS A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

Yes? Come in.

DANNO ENTERS THE ROOM.

Steve, I have some important news for you.

More important than the shine on this solid brass trophy I have here, Danno?

Well, perhaps not, but it's important.

Well, what's the big important news?

We have received word that Wo Fat has been seen in a Woolworth's on the big island.

So what?! Why is that important?

Ah, maybe because he is supposed to be in, ... JAIL!?

Jail? Now, let's see. ... Who was it that put Mr. Wo Fat in the klink?

... Well, I guess you did, Steve.

And, why is he now not in jail?

Well, that's the question we need to answer.

Who spotted this man?

A reliable person did.

As reliable as, oh, say, this shiny brass trophy I have here? Was this person that reliable, Danno?

DANNO IS LOOKING AT MCGARRETT AS IF HE HAS 3 HEADS.

Your mistress, Steve. Your mistress saw him. ... Candy Samples?

Oh, her. She and I are no longer, ah, associated. So, reliable? I think not.

Why don't we just call the Woolworth's and see if they saw him there?

OK by me.

DANNO PICKS UP A PHONE AND DIALS THE STORE.

Ah, is this the Woolworth's on the big island?

Oh, it's on the other island.

Well, can you transfer the call?

Oh, you can't.

OK. Thank you.

Steve, they weren't the right Woolworth's.

I gathered that, Danno. Look up the right number and call again.

DANNO GRABS THE BIG ISLAND PHONE BOOK AND LOOKS UP THE NUMBER, THEN DIALS THE PHONE.

Ah, yes, is this the Woolworth's on the big island?

OK. Good. Can I speak to the manager please? This is the police.

Thanks.

Hello. Is this the manager of the Woolworth's on the big island?

Good. I wonder if you can tell me whether a Mr. Wo Fat was in your store either today or yesterday.

He was? Great. Thanks. Goodbye.

(to McGarrett)

Looks like your ex-mistress Ms. Daniels was right after all.

If he was in that store, and I know it's a million-to-one shot, but maybe he is not in jail any more!

Do you mean, maybe he got out of jail legitimately, somehow?

Who?

Fat!

See, Danno. It stands to reason. Wo Fat is seen in a Woolworth's but everyone would have thought he would be behind bars. It's the perfect ruse for such a slick mind.

Steve, what are you even talking about?

Danno, please get me four of those yellow pills from the bottle there on my desk. Quickly!
