Jack Lord: Det. Steve McGarrett

Quotes 

• Doc Bergman : [Doc wants to remove Mrs. Syzmanski's body]  Can we take her now?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yeah, Doc... But as soon as you can, tell me something... Will you?

  Doc Bergman : I can tell you something right now, about the murder weapon... A bayonet.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : How do you figure?

  Doc Bergman : Four years in the Medical Corps, that's how I figure... You see quite a few of these punctures in a field hospital.

• Doc Bergman : Steve, your guy's cool under fire... Look at that

  [a towel in the bathroom has blood on it] 

  Doc Bergman : He took the time to wipe the blade.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Thanks, Doc... I noticed.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Che is going over the door lock]  Che, what have you got?

  Che Fong : Crude job... Tried to jimmy the lock, but didn't know how.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : What do you think?... Random kill, psycho, What?

  Che Fong : Random, maybe... But he knew enough to wear gloves.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Steve has just told Augie that his wife was murdered]  How was the marriage going?

  Augie Syzmanski : Strong... Strong, beautiful and forever.

• Doc Bergman : [Doc his giving his autopsy report on Mrs. Syzmanski to Steve]  Stabbed her once, just below the sternum, using an upward thrust, penetrating the right ventricle, right atrium and aorta... The main chambers of the heart,.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Quick and sure, huh?

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Steve is discussing Mrs. Syzmanski's murder]  It's as if she was struck by lightning... No rhyme or reason... If the guy was a psycho, where's his ego?... His mark?

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Colonel Hart has arrived]  Victim was Ella Syzmanski... She was waiting for her husband to arrive on rest-and-recouperation leave from Vietnam.

  Colonel Ken Hart : How long had she been waiting?

  Betty Hurlburt : Four days... Four long days.

• Colonel Ken Hart : [Looking over Mrs. NIchols' body]  Why stab her.?... It would have been easier to make it look like suicide here.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : This way, he leaves us his message... Premeditated murder.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Steve is getting really frustrated with the case]  We're getting everything but leads.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Lt. Nichols]  The killer knew that your name on that cable would bring Mrs. Carter here... Now, what is it that ties you and you and Lieutenant Carter together?

  Augie Syzmanski : We were in the same outfit.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : No, something more than that... and we've got two hours and 40 minutes to find out what it is.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Lt. Nichols]  I'd say you were more interested in keeping your sharp outfit looking sharp... The guy needed a head doctor, and you give him a transfer... And you pass that off as an error in judgement?

  Captain Dan Nichols : [Slams his fist on the table]  That's what is was, McGarrett, and I've paid for it!... All right, maybe he did start flipping out; when you and Victor Charlie are out in the boonies every night trying to kill each other, we all get pretty weird!

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Mrs. Carter;s plane lands, and she finds out from McGarrett that her husband was killed in action]  What can I say, Mrs. Carter?... My deepest sympathy and my apology for being so brusque, but your own life is in danger right now.

• Danny Williams : [Ralston called Mrs. Carter and hung up]  Steve, why do you suppose he called, and didn't show up?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yeah, that's just what's on my mind, and I don't like it.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Steve and his men are escorting Cathy, posing as Mrs. Carter to the R and R center]  Kono, when you get to De Russy, you make two rights to the R and R center.

  Kono : Right... I know the place.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : I want you at the door of that cab when Cathy gets out... And remember, Chin is going to the south door.

  Kono : I remember exactly... I've got a photogenic memory.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : That's photographic, Kono.

  Kono : That's what I said.

  [This triggers something Mrs. Carter said to Steve, and he turns his car around, and goes back to the airport] 

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Steve enters the plane, and Ralston has a gun on Mrs. Carter]  Is that the way you won the DSC?... By killing women?

  Thomas Robert Ralston : That sounds like the lint-free round-mouthed voice of justice... Where's that little handgun you dudes carry?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : [Opening his jacket]  I don't need one.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Ralston is holdting a gun on Mrs. Carter]  Lieutenant Carter is dead.

  Thomas Robert Ralston : That's what I call an outright Sunday lie.
