Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 11, Episode 16 - The Bark and the Bite - full transcript

You know, there's an
old Hindustani saying

that the, uh, master
can learn from the dog,

- just as dog learns from the master.
- Really?

Harry Clive's real
name is Howard Caine.

He's suspected of being

one of the top society
burglars on mainland.

Why is it so hard for you
to accept a simple warning?

Because you are implying
that my judgment is no good.

I know when a
man's in love with me.

Okay. Put out an
all-points bulletin

on the bloodhound.



Uh-oh.

Shh, Daphne, lie down.

Daphne, you wanna get
us in trouble or something.

Announcing Flight 4D from
New York and Los Angeles.

Now arriving at...

Excuse me, ma'am. That
wouldn't be a dog in there?

Who would keep a
dog in a $300 bag?

- May I look?
- How dare you?

She's not real. She's stuffed.

Uh, besides, what makes you
think we were on this flight, anyway?

As a matter of fact, I was
just here meeting someone.

Hope you enjoyed
your flight, Ms. Conover.

Ma'am, we have a
quarantine law here in Hawaii.

Arriving animals must be
isolated here for four months.



Her youth will be
gone in four months.

Come on, Daphne.

I wouldn't do
that if I were you.

They're very strict
about that quarantine.

They've never had a case
of rabies on the islands.

Yeah. Where's their
sense of adventure?

- Right. I know how you feel, Miss...
- Conover.

Ms. Conover, Harry Clive.

I know how you feel. They
just took my dog off the plane.

I wouldn't have let them
do it, but I checked first.

They have over a 1000
animals in quarantine.

They treat them so well, that it's
almost like a canine country club.

I'll bet they stage a
luau for them every night.

But really, the kennels are clean,
and they feed them very well.

And you can visit yours
as often as you like.

Besides,

you don't have to worry about, uh,
taking care of them when you're busy.

Here on Honolulu, a
young lady like yourself

is obviously gonna be very busy.

Well...

Aloha, Daphne, beautiful.

McGARRETT: Yes, sir.
Yes, sir, I understand.

Yes, Governor. I
understand that, Governor.

But playing host and tour guide to
an heiress is a little out of my line.

I'm not asking you to
be a tour guide, Steve.

I'm just asking you
to keep an eye on her.

Her mother, Harriet Conover,
was one of my dearest friends.

Well, frankly she spoiled the girl,
but Dilys was the baby of the family.

Well, she doesn't look
like a baby anymore.

Wait a minute, haven't I read
about some famous Conover jewels?

Yes. A matched pair of
Burmese rubies worth a fortune.

Harriet bequeathed one to Dilys,
one to Dilys' older sister Laura.

Yeah, and one of them
was stolen recently.

Right, Laura's. Just a few
weeks ago, in San Francisco.

Now if Dilys has brought
the other ruby to the islands,

you'd better have
a talk with her.

Governor, I've got to
testify in that H.P.D. lawsuit,

I've got to give a
deposition in the Miller Case,

and I have to appear before
League of Women Voters.

Just have a talk
with her, Steve.

Tell her to be careful.
Consider it a favor to me.

You'll find she's a very attractive,
though headstrong, young woman.

Yes, sir.

It's nonsense. Nonsense.

Look, you are the law.

The law has my dog.

You give me back my dog,
then we'll talk about the ruby.

I'm not here to
make any tradeoffs.

Besides, the dog is
not my department.

Are you going to tell me that
a great big 180 pound officer

can't do something about
a little 4-pound yorkie?

Ever hear of rabies?

- Ever hear of fascism?
- Yeah.

And fortunately, we
don't have either one here.

Ms. Conover, let's be
serious for a moment.

If those rubies you
and your sister inherited

are worth a quarter of
a million dollars each,

and as a matched pair,
they're easily worth a million.

Now a smart thief may
come back for seconds.

If he does, you'll be the
first person I scream at.

Save your voice.
Take a few precautions.

I have. I'm not a
fool, Mr. McGarrett.

The ruby's in a safe place.

I only wear it when
I'm dressed formally.

And frankly, I don't expect
a lot of that over here.

- Slumming?
- No. Retreating.

I came over here to forget
a very forgettable man.

All I expect to do is sunbathe,
skin dive, and miss my dog.

You can always visit him.

Sure.

- Now if you'll excuse me.
- Of course. Thank you.

She's made a
beautiful adjustment.

Obviously, she has a
very healthy self-image.

And her social skills
are extraordinary.

I mean, she's already developed a
meaningful relationship with Dudley.

Yes, I hope you're not letting it
get too meaningful, Ms. Finch.

Call me Eudora.

I like to think that
they call me Eudora.

- You know each other.
- Yes. We met at the airport.

He's so devoted.

He's been here every
day to visit Dudley.

Poor baby, who knows,

he's probably the
victim of a broken home.

- Mr. Clive?
- Dudley.

- Good morning, Mr. Clive.
- Ms. Eudora.

- Ms. Conover. Hi.
- Hello.

Dudley! Dudley! Oh, Dudley.

Hi. Hi.

Snack time. I don't like to
tamper with their schedules,

so if you'll excuse me.

- Is she for real? Ha, ha.
- Oh, she's sweet.

I suspect she thinks she's
running a nursery, but she's sweet.

- Well, how's the vacation?
- Oh, quiet. Restful.

Not too restful, I hope.

That all depends on
your standards, Mr. Clive.

And how are you
doing without Daphne?

You remembered her name.

I remembered her mistress too.

Well, it seems that Dudley and
Daphne have become fast friends.

Yeah, that it does.

You know, there's an
old Hindustani saying

that the, uh,

master can learn from the dog, just
as the dog learns from the master.

Really?

And what does that
sound like in Hindustani?

I don't know. But in
English, it sounds like

"How'd you like to have
dinner with me tonight?"

Okay.

- Good morning, Danno.
- Good morning, Steve.

Since when did you start
reading gossip columns.

Sometimes it pays. You
catch up with familiar people.

- Who, for instance?
- The Governor's friend, Dilys Conover.

"Who's the hot-tempered stranger

who's been secretly
squiring heiress Dilys Conover

all over the islands
the last few days.

Whoever he is, he threw a
mean punch at our photographer

for trying to take
their picture."

That man does seem
to like his privacy.

I wonder if he has
something to hide.

- Shall I check him out?
- Yeah, you'd better.

Especially since I promised
the Governor I would.

You realize tomorrow
is an anniversary?

What?

I'll be a week since we met.

- Oh, you are sentimental.
- You bet I am.

I think we should celebrate.

- How?
- I don't know.

Let's get dressed up.
Make it a special evening.

Well, I really didn't bring
over anything very dressy.

I'm sure you can
think of something.

- Excuse me. Here you go, sir.
- Thank you.

Nothing unusual, Steve.
Just like any ordinary couple.

Except for the hours they keep.

Schedule getting to you, Danno?

Racketeers don't burn the
candle the way these two do.

- Did Duke check out that car?
- Yeah. It's a rental. Uh...

According to the agency,
the man's name is Harry Clive.

He gave a permanent
address in Bel Air, California,

and a temporary
one here in Honolulu.

It's a house he's renting
out in the Kohla area.

Wait a minute. I've got an idea.

Why don't you pick up
the check he handled,

take it to the lab tonight,

when they lift a few prints,

have them put them on
the wire to the bureau.

We can have a positive
ID on Clive by morning.

Will do.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you, sir.

Mei Lou.

You're just about to
make a major contribution

to law and order in Hawaii.

Hey, what about my tip?

I guess you'll have
to call me at the office.

- Steve? McGARRETT:
What've you got?

Here's the story on those
prints we sent to the bureau.

Harry Clive's real
name is Howard Caine.

He's suspected of being

one of the top society
burglars on the mainland.

- What do you mean?
- He never had a conviction.

They haven't been able
to catch him with the goods.

You think he might be over here
to try to match a pair of rubies?

Could be, Danno. Could be.

Which puts this whole Conover
operation in a different light.

Let me see that.

Yeah.

Yes, Mr. McGarrett?

Luana, get in touch
with Captain Steve Mills,

San Francisco Police Department.

See if he can come up with a
mug shot of, uh, Howard Caine,

also known as Harry Clive.

If so, I'd like him to show it to
Dilys Conover's sister, Laura.

She may not be
in the phone book,

but he can find her
in the Social Register.

Right away.

Come on, Danno.
I've got an idea.

- How straight do we play it, Steve?
- What do you mean?

Do we tell Clive we
know he's Howard Caine?

No. Let's give him enough
rope and see if he'll hang himself.

He doesn't deny himself
any luxuries, does he?

McGARRETT: Well, if you're gonna
play with the rich, you've gotta look rich.

Maybe we should've phoned
ahead for an appointment.

A pretty messy housekeeper.

Let's try the back.

Boy, it looks like a twister
went through this room.

Halt!

You've gotta admit it's a switch.
Second-story man gets ransacked.

Maybe Clive did it himself.
Practicing his craft, huh.

May I help you?

- Mr. Clive?
- Yes.

McGarrett. Hawaii Five-0.
My associate, Dan Williams.

You, uh, gentlemen seem
a bit mature to be trainees.

- Beg your pardon?
- This search.

If I were grading you on it,
I might give you a Q minus

if I felt charitable.

Mr. Clive, we didn't do it.

And I must admit, we usually hear
that from the other side of the desk.

Do you really expect me to
believe that you didn't do it?

Well, it would certainly
move things along.

All right. Consider them moved.

Now, uh, would you like to
tell me what you're doing here?

First, would you like to tell us
what you're doing in Hawaii?

A little business.
A little pleasure.

- What kind of business?
- I'm in imports.

- What kind of pleasure?
- Whatever I can find.

How long have you
known Dilys Conover?

About a week. Why?

Well, from what we've heard,
it's been a rather full week.

She's a very attractive lady.

But you know the
laws better than I.

Is there a local ordinance against
spending time with an attractive lady?

Need I answer that?

You're certain you have no idea
who might have ransacked this room?

Hmm, no, not the faintest.

Well, when you find out...

Oh, you'll be the first to know.

I don't think I'll hold my
breath waiting for his call.

- Wanna put a tail on him?
- Not now, Danno. He'll be expecting it.

Uh, this is McGarrett. Patch me
through to the Five-0 office, please.

Are you gonna tell Ms.
Conover about Caine?

No, not quite yet, Danno.
You haven't met the lady.

If you're gonna tangle with her,

you better have all the
ammunition you can muster.

Five-0.

Yeah, Luana.

Did San Francisco PD get a
mug shot of Howard Caine?

Yes, sir. And they're showing
it to Miss Conover's sister.

Good. Get me Laura Conover's
phone number in San Francisco.

As soon as I get
back, I wanna call her.

McGARRETT: Ms.
Conover, are you telling me

you haven't looked
at the picture yet?

Why should I?

Why should I care if Dilys is
mixed up again with some riffraff?

Let it be a lesson to her.

It could be a very expensive
lesson, Ms. Conover. For both of you.

I'm not just concerned
about your sister.

This may be an opportunity
to recover your ruby.

Well, I don't suppose there's
any harm in taking a second look.

He does look rather familiar.

No. No, the man I'm
thinking of was different.

- Different? How?
- He looked older.

He was bald, and he
had a grey moustache.

The moustache
might've been a fake.

I really didn't tweak
it, Mr. McGarrett.

I didn't assume that you had.

Where did you meet the
man you just mentioned?

He came to my home, for a
meeting of the Civic Purity League.

I formed it, you know.

Do you remember who brought him?

He came on his own.

The meeting's open to anyone.

Anyone, that is,
who has an interest

in improving the moral
climate here in San Francisco.

If it was Caine, he must've
leaped at that invitation.

I don't suppose you were
wearing the ruby on that occasion?

Hardly. It was in the
safe, in the library.

When did you
discover it was missing?

A few days later. When I came
back from a weekend in the country.

Very well, Ms.
Conover. Thank you.

By the way, is there anything
you would like me to tell your sister?

You can tell that
supercilious, sanctimonious,

insidious, insensitive,
spoiled, silly, slip of a simp,

that if the devil had her
hindmost, I wouldn't lift a finger.

She was the baby of the family.

A condition that still
lingers in her soiled psyche,

which is about the dankest
place in the continent.

If I never see her again, I shall
hold a celebration in my honor.

Have a good day, Ms. Conover.

Boy, I've seen more family affection
in a cage full of starving pythons.

No wonder Dilys is so cool
about her sister losing the ruby.

You know, there may even be a
better reason for her attitude, Danno.

You think Dilys was in on the
heist? She knew Caine before?

Who knows? She's
such an obvious kook.

She's harder to read
than a wet newspaper.

Come on, Danno. I
wanna check something.

Leaving? Oh!

But he's just gotten over his
separation anxieties about you.

Now he'll have separation
anxieties about me. And them.

Oh, poor Dudley.
Iddy-biddy-storm-tossed baby.

Well, sometimes these
things can't be helped.

There was an
illness in the family.

Nothing rabid?

The two-legged family.

Oh! I see.

I was, uh, hoping to leave
Honolulu tomorrow, Ms. Eudora.

So quickly? That could
be traumatic for Dudley.

I'll make it up to him, somehow.

How much are you
gonna tell Ms. Conover?

McGARRETT: I think I'll tell
her that her friend, Mr. Clive,

may be dangerous.

That you know he's
really Howard Caine?

No. If they are
working together,

that might be just enough to
send them underground, Danno.

- Wait for me, will you?
- Yeah.

Our manager, Ms. Hughes,

didn't tell me to expect a
journalist, Mr. Armitage.

- What kind of article are you writing?
- Human interest.

You know, what
the owners are like.

- Oh!
- That sort of thing.

Well, our dogs come from
some of the finest families.

Daphne, the yorkie, she
belongs to an heiress.

I can't reveal names,
you understand.

- Oh, and the poodle?
- Mahomet?

- Mm-hm.
- Mahomet, he belongs to a sheik.

Actually the sheik was very
unhappy about the quarantine.

He tried to buy the
islands to get around it.

Poor Mahomet. I wonder what
kind of values he'll grow up with.

What about the man who
was leaving as I came in?

- Oh! he belongs to Dudley.
- Oh.

Yes. The gentleman
is terribly devoted,

- but I think there's a stability problem.
- What do you mean?

Well, poor Dudley
only arrived a week ago,

and his owner's going to
take him away tomorrow.

Poor baby. It's so traumatic.

How dare you drag that
dreary sister of mine into this.

How dare I? What does that mean?

It means, I think you and Laura
would make a lovely couple.

Mr. and Mrs. Clean.

You could help her with
that purity league of hers.

You enjoy practicing
your backhand on me?

Why not?

Are you so different
than any other man?

Let me get to the
point, Ms. Conover.

Your sister thinks that
your friend, Mr. Clive,

may have been at her
home in San Francisco

a few days before
her ruby was stolen.

My sister would say
anything to spoil my vacation.

- You know, I think you would too.
- I'm not trying to spoil your vacation.

I just want it to be
safe and pleasant.

Your concern overwhelms me.

Why is it so hard for you
to accept a simple warning?

Because you are implying
that my judgment is no good.

I know when a
man's in love with me.

I don't tell you how
to catch crooks.

I do not expect you to
tell me how to run my life.

Okay. This is my office phone number,
just in case you should ever need it.

It would be a pleasure
to hear from you.

Thank you.

- Hello?
- Well, hello there.

- Is there something wrong?
- No. Hello.

Just checking. Are we still
gonna dress for this evening?

Of course.

Good. I'm really
looking forward to it.

Bye-bye.

- I think you better leave, Mr. Armitage.
- Leave?

I checked with the manager, Ms.
Hughes. You are not a reporter.

I don't know what
game you're playing.

Ms. Finch, I have a
confession to make.

Mr. Clive may be
Dudley's legal owner.

But, I'm his natural owner.

- Are you saying...?
- I was young.

Foolish.

I had no one to turn to.

Are you saying you let
Mr. Clive adopt Dudley?

You understand.

And I've felt so
alone, until now.

If I could just hold him.

Nuzzle him, just once.

I don't believe
you, Mr. Armitage.

- And, if you don't leave this instant...
- You'll do what I tell you to do.

I'm not afraid of
you, Mr. Armitage.

Furthermore, I intend
to scream my head off...

Ah, too late.

One sound out of you.

Hmm.

You wouldn't.

I guess you would.

Better.

This is what we're gonna do.

Shh.

Shh. Shh. Shh.

It's all right,
Moses. Thank you.

Open the door.

- Get the dog in. Let's go.
- Get in, Dudley. Get in.

I never thought I'd say
this, but I hope you bite him.

- If you hurt...
- You can have him back in an hour.

If you behave.

Count to ten before
you move from there.

One, two, four, six, eight, ten.

H.P.D. This is Central.

Officer, this is Eudora Finch,

of the Animal
Quarantine Station.

I want to report a kidnapping.

Uh, name and description
of the victim, please?

His name is Dudley. He is male.

He's three years old, sort of
reddish brown. Has big floppy ears.

Okay, that's, uh, Dudley, male,
three years old, reddish brown...

big floppy ears? EUDORA: Yes.

He weighs about 90 pounds
and his eyes are very sad.

Just what're we
talking about, ma'am.

One of my charges, of
course. A bloodhound.

Don't you understand,
it's a dog-napping!

I see.

And the culprit used a gun.

He even threatened to shoot
Dudley, if I didn't surrender to him.

Please. Please. Put your
best men to work on this.

Immediately!

Lady, let's start
from the beginning.

Come on, boy. Come.

Hey, Dudley!

Come here, boy!

Dudley! Come here!

Williams.

OFFICER: Uh, Williams,

I don't know if
it matters to you,

but, uh, a dog was stolen
from Animal Quarantine.

And it belonged to that guy you
were checking on, uh, Harry Clive.

I have a full report
here, if you wanna hear it.

But I hope you're sitting down.

When they begin the beguine

It brings back a night
Of tropical splendor

It brings back a sound
Of music so tender

When they begin The beguine

- You have anything against doors?
- I told you tonight

would be a special
night. Happy anniversary.

Guess what just showed
up on the police blotter?

Mr. Clive's dog was stolen.

- His dog?
- Yes. His bloodhound.

Somebody sprung him from the
Quarantine kennel at gunpoint.

I think I've had
this case, Danno.

Why would anyone go to all
that trouble to steal a mutt?

Well, heh, maybe
somebody was lonely, ha, ha.

Uh, well, it must mean
something, Steve.

Why?

- Another call from the Governor?
- Oh, boy.

Doesn't it worry you, to
wear a ruby like this in public?

Well, I didn't want
to embarrass you.

But, it must be worth
at least $20,000.

Even a bit more.

Come in.

You can put it right there.

Yes, sir.

So where are we
having dinner tonight?

- At Michelle's.
- Mm.

I got us a table by the water.

The moonlight will
shine in your wine glass.

- Ah, you are romantic.
- Heh.

- Are you waiting for something?
- My tip.

I'll settle for the ruby.

Um...

I knew this hotel
had help trouble.

There.

And I hope it causes you as
much aggravation as it's caused me.

Thank you.

Now you can do
me one more favor.

Get me some
towels. Lots of them.

By the way, Ms. Conover.

Any funny stuff,

and your boyfriend here's
gonna wind up without a head.

- You understand?
- Yes, I understand.

Um...

This is a very critical
moment of your life.

Is there any chance I could
convince you that crime doesn't pay?

And I called the police.

Oh, dear, I am in trouble.

No, no, on the contrary, you
acted with intelligence and courage.

Can you describe him?

Oh, well, he weighs
about a 100 pounds,

he has brindle
coloring, and long ears.

No, no, no. Not the dog,
Ms. Finch. The man. Armitage.

Oh. Well, he had
brown hair and freckles.

Lots of freckles.

McGARRETT: Hey, watch it.
- Oh, ha, ha.

Hey, I think I know
whose dog this is.

Okay, girl. Okay, honey.
- Daphne!

Armitage and the dog
could be anywhere by now.

Danno, there has to be a reason

that someone would risk
a felony rap to steal a dog.

Central calling Steve McGarrett.

Central calling Steve McGarrett.

Yeah. McGarrett. Go ahead.

Steve, H.P.D. picked
up the getaway truck.

Uh, from examination
of the scene,

it appears the hound
made a clean getaway.

That'll cheer up Eudora.

- How did they figure that one out?
- Uh, the tracks were clean.

A man's footprints, and paw
prints leading away from the truck,

and only a man's
prints coming back.

Okay. Put out an
all-points bulletin

on the bloodhound.

Yeah, and I don't
want any comments.

Can you get me a good
description of the mutt?

He's a bloodhound, pal. He's
tawny, long-eared, you know?

You know how bloodhounds look.

You've seen them all in those
chain-gang pictures, haven't you?

That's got to be Dudley.

Hold on a minute, Steve.

H.P.D.

This is Dilys Conover.

- I want to speak to Mr. McGarrett.
- Yeah. Just a minute, lady.

Uh, someone trying to reach
you, Steve. A, uh, Ms. Conover.

Okay. Patch her through.

McGarrett?

McGARRETT: Yes, Ms. Conover?

I suppose you know, there
is only one possible reason

that I would be calling you.

Yes. Something happened.
- Right.

Someone stole your ruby.
- Right.

- Mr. Clive.
- Wrong.

Uh... Who did it?

Well, how should I know. He
didn't sign my memory book.

McGARRETT: Could you give me a
description of the man, Ms. Conover?

He had brown hair, and freckles.

Lots of freckles.

Old Freckle face
has had a busy day.

How about his age?

I don't know, uh, 30.

- Height? DILYS: Uh,
five-ten and a half. 5'1 1".

- Weight?
- A 165 pounds.

Uh, he said by the time I got through
to you, ugh, you'd never catch him.

Okay, Ms. Conover.
We'll get on it right away.

- Shall I check the airport?
- Yeah, you better, Danno.

Steve?

This is McGarrett, again.

Yes. Anything further?

I've got another APB.

- Suspect's name is Armitage.
- Armitage?

What kind of a
dog is that, Steve?

Oh, it's not a dog this time.

Name: Armitage.

- Wait. Hold it.
- Unh. Unh. Unh.

Now, what was that again?

I said you sure are cool for somebody
who's just lost a precious ruby.

Well, confession.
Freckles got himself a fake.

- But I thought you said...
- I know.

I couldn't tell you I was wearing
a fake. Not on our anniversary.

It's tacky.

Besides, McGarrett made
me so nervous about the jewel.

- Well, thank heaven for McGarrett.
- Well, he's not so smart.

He thought that you are a thief.

- Me? Ha, ha.
- Heh, yeah.

- Dumb cop.
- Yeah, dumb cop.

There.

Well, unh, where
is the, uh, real ruby?

Close your eyes.

Don't peek.

Ta-da.

I would've never
known the difference.

Yeah, I know. And,
McGarrett thought, well...

Dumb cop.

Close your eyes.

- What?
- Close your eyes.

I've got something for you.

Okay.

- Don't peek.
- I won't.

- Just a second.
- Ha, ha.

Just so I can sleep tonight.

Why'd you steal that bloodhound?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Let me know if anything turns up,
chief. I'd appreciate that. Thank you.

Mr. McGarrett. Mr. Armitage.

He was about to hop
a flight for Hong Kong.

And he doesn't know
what we're talking about.

He doesn't, huh?

Hmm.

He doesn't know much
about rubies, either.

Short course, Mr. Armitage.

Nature doesn't make them
this bright. Or, this clean.

Even the best have
what they call, inclusions.

But this is a very
good imitation.

Then that daffy Dilys sent
us all on a wild goose chase.

Sit down.

Two charges of armed robbery,

transporting a person against
her will, which is kidnapping.

It'd be a shame to spend
the rest of your life in prison.

But a little friendly
cooperation might help.

Okay.

I was a waiter for a catering
service in San Francisco.

I was working a meeting one
night at Laura Conover's house.

I happened to spot Harry Clive
alone in the library studying the safe.

And a few days later, when
Laura Conover's ruby was stolen,

you decided Harry
Clive was the man, huh?

I started watching him.

When he booked the same
flight to Hawaii as Dilys Conover,

you bought a ticket too.

I suppose you figured
you could get your hands on

at least one of the rubies,
and make a deal with Clive?

That's about it.

Not quite. What about that dog?

What's this?

Oh. Oh!

Oh, okay. Okay.
All right. All right.

Oh, okay. All right, fella.

- Okay, doggie. Okay.
- Ha, ha.

That's enough. I like
you too. I like you too.

Oh, dear, Mr. Clive. Oh, dear.

Oh, Ms. Eudora, I told you yesterday
that we might be leaving today. Didn't I?

That's just it.

You see, Dudley is...

Brace yourself.

He's gone.

Gone?

You see, Mr. Clive,
he had a gun.

What're you talking about?

Keep the faith, Mr. Clive.
Our people are looking for him.

- So is Hawaii Five-0.
- Hawaii Five-0?

That nice Mr. McGarrett
and his friend were down here

asking me all sorts of questions.
- Oh.

Keep the faith.

Oh.

McGARRETT: Whoever put
this lei around the dog's neck

almost obstructed
justice, Danno.

- The collar?
- Yeah.

Hand me that ruby.

Now, if this is the
fake one, look at this,

couldn't that be the real one?

The one Harry Clive stole from
Laura Conover in San Francisco.

The problem law enforcement
has had with Mr. Clive

is that they haven't been
able to catch him with the loot.

Boy, it sure looks real to me.

This could be the most
expensive dog collar in the world.

Five-0.

Give me McGarrett.

Hold on a minute.
Steve, it's Dilys the Dilly.

Sounds like she just woke up.

- Hello?
- McGarrett, so help me,

if you tell me
"I told you so"...

- What's wrong?
- Wrong?

Harry Clive is a no
good, dirty, lousy, creep.

That's what's wrong.

- And I want you to get him.
McGARRETT: Thank you.

Thank you, for the
apology, Ms. Conover.

Another lady.

Where do you think
you're going with that dog?

Our Animal Quarantine
Superintendent, Ms. Hughes.

That dog is AWOL, McGarrett.

He should've been
taken back to quarantine

the moment he was found.

I'm sorry, Ms. Hughes, but there's
special circumstances in this case.

Rules are rules.

There are no special
circumstances.

Not on my turf.

I need this dog to
complete a criminal case.

Do I have to read The Revised
Hawaii Statutes relating to animals?

- Now, I'll take that leash.
- No, you won't.

Mr. McGarrett, you have
broken the law once already.

That dog goes
back into quarantine.

If I, uh, oh... I may make
a suggestion, Ms. Hughes.

- How could you.
- I think you should allow them...

Let's just take the dog...

Now, listen. Ms. Finch, I
don't care whether this man

happens to be a
policeman, or not.

He's not going to come in
here and take over my authority.

Now, you can take that,
you can show that to him,

and you can stuff
it, and that's that.

Now, stay.

For a second. Stay. Over here.

Come here. Come here, Dudley.

Sit. Sit.

Stay. Stay.

Stay. Over there.

Eudora, will you please
come and make him obey?

Of course, Steve.

Now, Dudley, come
on. Come on. Come on.

You get back where you
were like a good little boy.

- She's something special.
- Yeah, she sure is.

Sit. Good boy.

Now, this could prove
dangerous, Eudora. So be careful.

Steve, until Dudley is returned
to quarantine, he's in my charge.

No matter what the danger to me.

I don't know how you found me,
but I am certainly glad you did.

Dudley, you have just
earned us half a million dollars

by bringing this back home.

McGARRETT: I don't
think so, Mr. Caine.

You're not gonna have a
chance to fence that stone.

You're under arrest.
Book him, Danno.

Come on, Dudley.
Hey, Dudley, come on.

No, no, this way.
Dudley, come on.

I think we should have H.P.D.
cover that Kahlii affair, Danno.

- Can we come in?
McGARRETT: Oh, of course.

Good morning, ladies.

Recovered from your
nap the other night?

Actually, that's the most restful
time I've had on this vacation.

I just wanted to thank
you for looking after me.

You did a wonderful job.

Don't thank me,
thank the Governor

for assigning me to this case.

Well, I guess this is Aloha.

My four-legged friends and I
are flying home this afternoon.

Friends? Is that plural?

My little Yorkie was just miserable
without him, so with Eudora's help...

And the help of my boss, Ms. Hughes,
we arranged for Dilys to adopt Dudley.

At least, while
his master's in jail.

I'm glad you're here, Ms.
Finch. I have something for you.

On behalf of the State of
Hawaii and Hawaii Five-0,

may I present this
certificate of merit

for outstanding
achievement and cooperation.

For me? McGARRETT: For you.

Oh.

Thank you, Mr. McGarrett.

I shall cherish it.

Oh. I have something
for you too, Mr. McGarrett.

I'm sorry, we're not
permitted to accept gifts.

You'll have to accept this one.

What is it? A summons?

McGARRETT: Yeah. It is.

It says that I broke Regulation
105 of the Animal Quarantine Code.

"Removing animal from quarantine
station without permission," unquote.

Ms. Finch, I did not
remove the animal.

But you had Dudley
in your possession.

And you did not return him.

Ignorance of the law is
no excuse, Mr. McGarrett.

Ms. Finch, surely, in this case
there are, extenuating circumstances?

But, surely, Ms.
Finch, you could...

Uh-uh-uh. Now you are
tampering, Mr. Williams.

Ms. Finch, you're
absolutely right.

Book me, Danno.
