52. Indizien gegen die Geliebte

Time and Memories***
Original air date: 10/7/70

This episode could be subtitled "Flashback City." An old girl friend of McGarrett, Cathy Wallis (Diana Muldaur) is the number one suspect in the murder of her lawyer husband Frank, and McGarrett ends up arresting her for lack of any other evidence. There are numerous glimpses into McGarrett's past relationship with Cathy, especially during the "third act." Interestingly, McGarrett doesn't look a day younger! Steve is so emotionally wrapped up that Danno even asks him to let the Five-O team handle the case for his own good, a suggestion which Steve rejects. It turns out the real killer is Martin Sheen, giving yet another snotty performance (see #43) as Arthur Dixon, a lawyer who was given the heave-o from Cathy's husband Frank's practice because he had the hots for Frank's daughter Joan (Kathy Cannon, who looks about 16). Sheen pulled off a scam with something called a "tie line" from Frank's San Francisco office to give the impression that he was on the mainland, then knocked off Frank and took a plane back to California and then returned immediately to Hawaii. When Dixon returns to Hawaii and greets Joan, he says "It's all right, baby," but his mouth isn't moving. I guess McGarrett is too involved with the case to consider Dixon a suspect -- why didn't McGarrett check Dixon's supposed departure time several days previously, which would no doubt have cracked the case immediately? There is mention of a real phone number -- 734-2211. At one point McGarrett plays his guitar.
