Quotes 

• [In the next scene after the death of Chin Ho Kelly, Steve is staring out the window with the shades closed. There's a knock on the door] 

  Det. Steve McGarrett : [solemn]  Come in.

  [Danno and Duke Lukela walk inside Steve's office] 

  Det. Steve McGarrett : I've just phoned Chin's daughter in San Francisco. She'll be here for the funeral.

  Dan Williams : How did Suzy take it?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : How would any daughter take it, Danno, and yet, to tell her that her old man's just been murdered? It broke her heart. I shouldn't have let him go undercover. He was too well known.

  Duke : Steve... don't blame yourself. Chin wanted the job.

  Dan Williams : He was the only one who could get any cooperation with the Chinese community.

  Duke : The tip about the new protection racket came from one of Chin's snitches.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : [sadly]  Yeah.

  [sighs] 

  Det. Steve McGarrett : I should've had a back-up on it at all times.

  Dan Williams : It wouldn't have worked, Steve. You know how suspicious those Chinese merchants are? One man... alone... had a chance.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Did he, Danno?

  [voice breaks whilst furious] 

  Det. Steve McGarrett : So help me God... I will not rest... until I get the man who killed him.

  [Steve sobs in tears]
