126. Der Koffer des Opfers

[Serpico]

Murder is a Taxing Affair**
Original air date: 10/16/73 -- Plot

    Internal Revenue Service investigator Jonathan Cavel (Don Porter) grabs $600,000 from a guy he is investigating, but the money goes astray. And the guy ends up dead in the airplane washroom. Porter's office in San Francisco has the phone number (415) 392-9069. There's a stock shot of McGarrett and Danno running down the Palace steps. When he's being tailed by Five-O, how much closer can McGarrett and Danno get, judging by Porter's mirror? It looks like they are in the rear seat of Porter's stolen car! (Porter's license is 3E-1934, by the way.) McGarrett wears a weird hat when he confronts Porter at the end ... how can Porter be heard over the noise of the helicopter? James Severson plays the police artist Joe. The violin theme is heard in an arrangement with a French horn taking the solo line. There is something about this episode that I really don't like -- maybe the fact that all the major characters, Cavel, stewardess Alma Saunders (Jenny Sullivan) and the two tourists, Will and Betty Rowan (Jack Dodson and Sally Kirkland) are just so damn greedy and single-minded about the money!

Unter dem Namen Garrison versucht Jason T. Adams 600.000 Dollar Schwarzgeld nach Honolulu zu bringen. Aber die Behrden schicken ihm den Steuerfahnder Cavel hinterher, der McGarrett per Telegramm verstndigt. Garrison kommt jedoch nicht auf Honolulu an: McGarrett findet ihn ermordet in der Toilette des Flughafens. Merkwrdigerweise fehlt auch von Cavel jede Spur. Spielt dieser ein falsches Spiel mit McGarrett? Doch dieser lsst sich nicht so leicht abschtteln.
