A few days later someone takes a shot at McGarrett and during a high speed chase the suspect's car crashes into the harbor and he manages to escape and leaves behind a prosthetic hook. McGarrett soon realizes that the suspect in both murders as well as the attempt on his life is Curt Stoner, a bank robber who blamed them for the loss of his arms in a failed bank robbery attempt several years earlier. McGarrett then tries to warn another officer before he is killed but is too late. Now it is a race against time to find the killer before he completes his vendetta and kills McGarrett.

Someone breaks into Five-O's temporary offices at the Territorial Building and, for the most part, manages to avoid the burglar alarms. When the alarm is triggered, the guard who responds is decoyed by a small music-playing souvenir doll long enough for the burglar to escape. The next day, however, Five-O's staff can find nothing missing, even though there is evidence that the lock to one of the cabinets was picked. What was taken they only learn later -- a single sheet official requisition form that is used to steal about $14,000 in state money -- the first step in an elaborate scheme by a check forger whom McGarrett once helped put in jail.
