- Colonel Farraday: [speaking to Jay Farraday] Then you're gonna have to start to do some thinking, like you've never done before. It's not gonna be enough that you know how to rope a cow. Not anymore. You're gonna have to have brains, education. Two of the things that you've had no respect for.
- [first lines]
- Airport Guard: Hey, hold it, brother. Can't you read signs? Oh, sorry, Mister Farraday. Didn't recognize you right off.
- [last lines]
- [Colonel Farraday is aiming a rifle at his son, Jay]
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Colonel... That's cold-blooded murder. Give me that rifle. Give me the rifle. Let the law take it from here, Colonel.
- [Colonel Farraday relents and tosses the rifle to McGarrett]
- Colonel Farraday: [referring to his son, Jay] Get him off my land!
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [referring to Colonel Farraday] Book him too, Danno. Kidnapping.
- Cam Farraday: [walking over to Carmen Kahela] See you around, big brother.
- Jay Farraday: Hey, Cam... You're forgetting the Colonel.
- Cam Farraday: Who's the Colonel?
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Danno? Have you ever met Colonel Farraday?
- Dan Williams: Never had the pleasure.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: He owns and operates one of the largest cattle ranches in the world, over 200,000 acres. It's an empire and he's often been accused of running it like an emperor. Don't let him intimidate anybody.
- Dan Williams: Gotcha.
- [slams the desk with his hand]
- Colonel Farraday: Let the courts decide. Damn well better decide it was murder.
- Carmen Kahela: I guess it was all my fault. I mean, I... I let Cam sort of... Well, I mean... I went across the way with him. I guess I didn't know how to tell him I was married.
- [long pause]
- Judge Hing: Go on, Mrs. Kahela.
- Carmen Kahela: Well... then Larry came out and... And saw us and... And he and Cam... Well, they fought.
- Judge Hing: It is the opinion of this court that sufficient grounds for a trial have been established. Lawrence Edward Kahela... The court finds a criminal offense has been committed and there is probable cause that the defendant has committed that offense. The defendant will be held to answer in the Circuit Court on the charge of manslaughter in the death of Kenneth Andrew Farraday.
- Colonel Farraday: Talk about a government of laws, not of men. What's a law when they turn a murderer free. Put him in prison for a year or two at best, so he can kill again whenever he's so moved.
- Pete Leone: It never used to be that way.
- Colonel Farraday: Well, it's all changed, Pete... and not for the better.
- [Jay Farraday shuts the ranch gate on Chin Ho and Dan Williams, preventing them from entering]
- Jay Farraday: Just McGarrett.
- Jay Farraday: The Colonel's at the stallion barn. You can only get there by riding a horse, or you can walk... Walking is about five miles on that road. Riding's maybe three.
- [Steve McGarrett takes off his tie and unbuttons the top button of his shirt]
- Det. Steve McGarrett: I'll ride.
- [inspecting a horse]
- Colonel Farraday: He's got good hindquarters. What do you think, Pete?
- Pete Leone: Back's a little long though.
- Colonel Farraday: Well, hell, we're not trying to breed blooded Arabians. Just want horseflesh that'll last, that's all.
- Pete Leone: Yes, sir.
- Colonel Farraday: Good chest... I'd say he's got staying power. We'll use him first to service Arabella.
- Colonel Farraday: And by what authority do you come on my land and ask me anything?
- Det. Steve McGarrett: In case it missed your notice, your land is still part of the sovereign state of Hawaii whether you like it or not.
- Colonel Farraday: In case it missed your notice, McGarrett, my land was here a long time before the state of Hawaii. It was a royal grant from King Kamehameha, dating back to 1810.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Thanks for the history lesson, Colonel, but my question is still unanswered.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: You're a rich and powerful man, Colonel. But no one... no one is rich or powerful enough to take the law into his own hands.
- Colonel Farraday: You told me nothing but lies. I want to hear the truth spoken. Now you killed him and you meant to do it, didn't you? He was dead before you left him.
- Larry Kahela: He was alive when I left him and that's the truth!
- Colonel Farraday: [referring to Jay Farraday] That's not what he says.
- Colonel Farraday: All right, Kahela. We're going to hold our own preliminary hearing right here: you, me, Pete, and Jay. Out there, in the open, under the eyes of God, where nobody can hide and I want to hear the truth spoken!
