The Steve McGarrett Story – No #50

We continue our story from here

Today we hit the halfway mark of our count to 100………… that means in 50 days time, we will see the much anticipated Episode 100, that was filmed last week. Lots of talk about it…….but will it live up to the hype? 😕

 

Steve and Danny is doing some deep-sea fishing for the day.

Danny: Any word on your mother?

Steve: No, she’s still on the island somewhere.

Danny: Doing what?

Steve: I don’t know. I got lines out.

Danny: One of those lines Catherine?

Steve: Maybe.

Danny: Ha. That’s good. Your girlfriend checking up on your mother. That should turn out very well.

Steve: Okay, first of all, she’s not my girlfriend. And second of all, she’s not checking on my mother. She’s using her contacts in Naval Intel to locate my mother. Okay? Nobody is gonna know.

Danny: No, no, no, no. Your mother is a spy and a woman. She will know, trust me.

Steve: That’s a good point.

Danny: Let me ask you another question. What is it with Navy SEAL’s? They’re not allowed to have girlfriends? How would you characterise your relationship?

Steve: Well, I mean….. she’s ……. We have a thing.

Danny: A thing. Yes you have a thing.

Steve: Yeah.

Danny: It’s called a girlfriend. And who by the way, you’re asking to spy on your mother.

Steve: Not spy… Locate, Danny.

Danny: Okay.

Steve: Spy , locate, they’re different.

Danny: Do you have any idea where she’s at?

Steve: No idea at all. Doing everything I can to find her, but you know my mother was a highly trained spy for 20 years and she managed to stay hidden for that whole time, so she’s not gonna make it easy for us.

Danny: What about your sister?

Steve: I mean, I haven’t told her. What I’m I gonna say? I haven’t told her.

Danny: Wow. That should be an interesting conversation.

(Just some criticism on the dialogue here – According to what Doris said to Steve, she was a highly trained spy before he was born. He was born about 36 years ago, and that would make her a spy for more than 40 years already. Depending on her age and when she became a spy, she was active for maybe 5 – 10 years before she was married. Then inactive for about 16 years while she was married to John and had Steve and Mary. Then she disappeared for 20 years, but was apparently not really working for the CIA anymore, because nobody knew she was still alive.

For me it just would have sounded better if Steve said: “My mother’s been a highly trained spy from a very young age (or for more than 40 years) and she also managed to stay hidden for 20 of those years.”)

While stranded at sea after their boat was stolen, Danny shares a story from his youth. As a young boy, his best friend drowned, while they were playing a game at sea. From there his dislike for the water and the sea….

 

While on a stake-out Chin and Kono catches up with what is happening with the other.

Kono: Are you okay?

Chin: Yeah, I’m fine.

Kono: When you’re ready. I’ll come over and help with her things.

Chin: Thanks cuz. How are things with Adam?

Kono: Well, I haven’t seen him for a week. He’s on a business trip.

Chin: What sort of business?

Kono: He’s trying to legitimise his father’s business. That doesn’t happen overnight.

Chin: Is that what he’s telling you?

Kono: Adam’s a good guy, Chin.

Chin: Look, I know how you feel about him, and I know what he did for us, but his father is head of the Yakuza. It’s the family business. If things get ugly, you are a liability to him.

Kono: A liability? What are you talking about? Adam saved my life. He’s never gonna let  whatever you are talking about, happen.

Chin: It’s not Adam I’m worried about.
