Bait Once, Bait Twice **
Original air date: 1/11/72
When hitman Rick Marlow (named "The Pro" in the credits) locks his bicycle at the beginning, he just puts a padlock on the chain! The footage showing the outside of the apartment where he sets up his rifle with a tripod is scratchy. When Loretta Swit as Betty appears on an 18th-storey ledge, McGarrett rushes to her aid, as does Danny Kamekona as psychiatrist Dr. Kamekona. The Five-O emergency number is 277-2977 (ostensibly a real number), but the D.A.'s office is 555-9100. This show introduces us to John Manicote, played by Glenn Cannon. McGarrett admits to Manicote, "I blew it!" after a protected witness (Betty's boyfriend) is shot and falls from the 18th floor. A poster on the wall in the city jail says "When flower children go to pot, they become blooming idiots!" There is stock footage of McGarrett arriving at the hospital, and Dr. Freeman is paged. The scene where a white car is hoisted out of the water with a crane looks suspiciously like the one from The Ways of Love (#7) and Which Way Did They Go (#37)? The ending, with the slimy lawyer Mariss (James Olson) revealed as the bad guy, is too abrupt.
----------------------------------------------
Betty Landers will sich durch einen Sprung aus dem achtzehnten Stock das Leben nehmen. Whrend sie auf dem Sims des Hochhauses steht, baut ein Killer im Haus gegenber sein Przisionsgewehr auf. Sein Ziel ist Howard Miller, der Verlobte von Betty Landers. Miller soll in die Falle gelockt und erschossen werden. Aber McGarrett und seine Mnner entdecken eine Lcke in dem teuflischen Plan - und es gelingt ihnen, den Anstifter ihrerseits in eine raffinierte Falle zu locken.
