Jack Lord: Det. Steve McGarrett

Quotes 

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to himself after Filer has disappeared]  Okay, Filer... Score one for you.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to his men when he finds out Goro Shibata was in Hong Kong]  You can buy anything in Hong Kong... Cocaine included.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [McGarrett gets a phone call from Filer]  McGarrett.

  Lewis Avery Filer : There you are, McGarrett... Tell me, have you got your tape going?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : You better believe it... What's the game this time, Filer?

  Lewis Avery Filer : Oh, I wouldn't think of telling you... You'd much rather work it out for yourself, but I will give you a hint... Exactly 2.3 miles off Kaena Point on Route 93. Have you got that?... Just where the blacktop begins.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yeah, go on.

  Lewis Avery Filer : I suggest you be there by 4:15 this afternoon... Look for a red and white helicopter flying low under radar... That would be roughly northeast.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yeah, and why should I do that?

  Lewis Avery Filer : Because you've kept this island remarkably clean of hard stuff, McGarrett... I'm sure you want it to stay that way.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Look, Filer... Don't con me, just get to the point.

  Lewis Avery Filer : The point is narcotics... A thoroughly rotten business. I'm sure we can agree on that.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yeah, and that's about all.

  Lewis Avery Filer : Perhaps, but that is enough because it means you'll be there. I know you, McGarrett... You can't sit still and watch $4 million worth of cocaine land on this island, can you?... Well. aloha.

  [Filer hangs up] 

• Danny Williams : [Filer has disappeared]  No trace of him, Steve.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : No... Of course not.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Dan]  Goro Shibata... How long have we been trying to nail him?

• Danny Williams : [to Steve]  I wonder if Filer knows what he's getting into.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : He better, Danno... Or he'll end up dead.

• Lewis Avery Filer : [McGarrett gets another phone call from Filer]  Ah, there you are McGarrett.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yeah, and getting closer all the time.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Dan after talking to Filer]  He's not after the cocaine... Apparently he never was. It's the money he wants, all of it... All four million.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Filer holding the money intended for the warden]  This did you in, you know... You could have mailed it.

  Lewis Avery Filer : What?... and trust the mails?

• Lewis Avery Filer : [McGarrett is about to take Filer into custody]  I'm surprised at you, Mr. McGarrett.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : I'm surprised at you, Mr. Filer.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [McGarrett is taking Filer into custody]  Federal prisons are harder to break out of, you know.

  Lewis Avery Filer : Yes... I'm rather looking forward to that.

• Danny Williams : [to Steve]  Why would Filer impersonate Zeigler?... I mean, considering the risks... What's the point?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Maybe Shibata is in the market for a trouble shooter... Zeigler was the best.
