  Doc : I'm gonna need all the help I can get with this one.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Sally about Peter's murder]  We're investigating right now... Every angle, every possibility.

  Sally : Angles?... It's a straight line, McGarrett... I know it, you know it, everybody knows it.

• Furtado : [to McGarrett]  Got some more questions?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Just one... How many?

  [Last lines]

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Good work, Danno... Good work..

• Benson : [Mr. Benson is briefing McGarrett and the Governor on organized crime taking over in Hawaii]  Now, as you both know, the department is very concerned about the spread of organized crime... In the last 24 hours, we have come into posession of definate information that indicates that Hawaii is the next major target of the organization.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Well, how to you figure they'll start?

  Benson : Well, in prostitution... That always opens the door for the rest.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : And everything comes in after that... Organized gambling, narcotics, loan sharks, protection... The works.

  Benson : Exactly.

  Governor : You say the organization feels the time is ripe for Hawaii.

  Benson : Yes, precisely... Honolulu is the crossroads of the Pacific. The Waikiki district in particular... A hundred square blocks. Every year a million and a half tourists stream in and out. A million and a half... That's bigger than the city of Houston.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Looks like I underestimated the ambitions of Johnny Oporta.

  Benson : Then you know him?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yeah, I know him... Cheap hustler who's been trying to claw his way to the top of the heap in prostitution... but up until now, we figured it was a local problem.

  Benson : Not with the syndicate involved. Once they move in with their money and muscle...

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yeah, Johnny convinced them he's got something to sell.

  Benson : They'll put him in charge if he can deliver.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Well, you've tied it all together, Mr. Benson... Up until now, we figured it was an internal struggle, but today a fifth of Johnny Oporta's competitors disappeared... He's playing for high stakes, and he doesn't care who gets hurt.

  Governor : Steve, we've got to stop them now before this syndicate moves in. Otherwise it will be too late.

  [to Mr Benson] 

  Governor : How much time do we have?

  Benson : Days at most... Oporta has been givin a deadline. He has to deliver total control... Now, I'm flying right back to Washington... This is your territory, Mr. McGarrett. We'll give you all the help we can... But it's your problem. I don't envy you

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Upon walking into Johnny Oporta's office]  Nice office... And this is only the beginning, right Johnny?

  Johnny Oporta : [With a smile]  Yeah.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : It's finished, Johnny... All pau. Because from now on I'm squeezing you so hard it's all gonna crack open... And when it does, you won't have anything or anybody to peddle.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Not quite.

• Negotiator : [to Johnny Oporta concerning McGarrett]  Is he with you?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : No, He's with me.
