Forget it.
DANNO: But, Paul, Steve drew you a picture.
PAUL: All right, it's possible, I admit it. Okay?
But in my personal opinion, it is far-fetched. Is that fair?
Paul, Ben, Ben, cool it.
How would his wife recognize him from that old football picture?
Now, Howard Crystal was sharper than either his wife or Houston.
And tougher. And what have you got for evidence?
Adultery? Man, to these people, that is a status symbol.
Okay, okay, Paul.
You've got a point there, but hear me out.
I wanna pursue this as if Carla and Jack Houston
did indeed make the connection
between Howard Crystal and Julio--
What the hell was his name?
Bocher.
All right. Sure.
Sure, we're in this together, but let's move on it.
It still doesn't rule out a security leak.
All right, let's agree. Have you seen the will?
Here.
Thanks.
Carla Crystal is the sole heir and beneficiary
to all property and insurance.
He wouldn't give her a divorce. You know that.
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
McGARRETT: And in addition to a policy on his wife,
Howard Crystal had a sizable policy
made out to his friend Jack Houston. How come?
Bocher insisted on the policy.
It was part of the original deal.
The government pays off the insurance company,
What about Jack Houston?
Through their company, they purchased a policy
which gives the surviving partner
the face value of the insurance.
Syndicate informer's federal welfare and insurance plan, huh?
( tapping on desk )
Once Houston or Carla, the two of them together,
got the whole story, they must've really figured
they stumbled onto the perfect crime.
They stomp out Howard Crystal.
They make it look like a pro hit.
Kind of neat.
McGARRETT: Yeah, but it gets neater.
Now, to keep us off their backs,
they spoon-feed us the evidence, an item at a time,
to make it look like a syndicate hit,
and to lead to the real identity of Howard Crystal.
Well, that's really shrewd, fellas.
Take tomorrow off.
You've got it all figured out,
and there isn't 6 cents' worth of evidence
to prove one damn thing.
It's theory time, right?
Good night.
( exhales )
He's right, you know. It is all theory.
And we can't get a conviction on theory.
We've got to have the facts. Now, how do we get them?
Let's call it a night, shall we?
