NOSTALGIE CRIME BOARD

And a Time to Die...****
Original air date: 9/16/70

    Another excellent episode starring Khigh Dhiegh as Wo Fat. We learn more about Wo, who kidnaps the daughter of the "top neurosurgeon in Hawaii," Dr. Forbes (Donald Moffat) in an effort to get the doctor not to save the life of an seriously wounded American agent who is carrying sensitive information. Wo plays chess with the doctor's daughter, saying "I knew a little girl once," and nearly lapses into sentimentality. He goes on, "So few women play chess ... they seem to have no grasp for it." When Wo confronts the doctor and his wife, Wo says, "I'm not interested in winning your approval, doctor -- only your co-operation. I'm just as much a victim of this situation ... I would genuinely hate to harm your child," insisting that his own credibility is at stake if he doesn't carry out the plan as ordered. McGarrett has to deal with federal agent Sam Kavanaugh (Gerald S. O'Loughlin -- see #16 and #22). The number of the pay phone one of Kavanaugh's agents uses has the number 819-855. Daniel Kamekona plays Wo's henchman Chung who tries to knock off the agent at the beginning ... one of the views of the rifle scope is totally wrong -- it's from ground level instead of up in the building (the Rainbow Tower, now part of the Hilton hotel complex) from which Chung is aiming. I'd like to know where McGarrett gets the pictures of the boat where the doctor's daughter is being held.
