The team soon discover that Pauline Lucero, Sinclair's daughter from a previous relationship and who was an assistant is the killer. When they arrest her, Pauline states that Sinclair never cared about her or her mother with Pauline unaware that Sinclair did care given that he was going to give her a lot of money for her future.

Quotes
Danny Williams: I'm going to talk to these models.

Steve McGarrett: Okay, well just stay with the questions that relate to the case.

Danny Williams: What's that supposed to mean?

Steve McGarrett: That means I know you. Just stick to the case.

Danny Williams: Hey. Hey. They're just women.

Chin Ho Kelly: Who happen to be insanely hot and make millions of dollars.

Danny Williams: No, relax, okay? I had H.P.D. run Renny's financials and his phone records. Look at this. The guy's like a 15 year-old girl. All text messages. No phone calls.

Steve McGarrett: Why is a fashion photographer sending coded texts? All right, you know what, I'm gonna send this to Catherine. She can have, ah, the boys in intel run it

Danny Williams: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Steve McGarrett: What?

Danny Williams: Not coded text. Okay, no need for your little Rambo-ette. Okay, this is not your, uh, cloak-and-dagger spook speak. This is daddy's world. Okay. These are bets.

Steve McGarrett: Bets? What are you talking about, bets?

Danny Williams: Guy had action all over the place. "Bos minus eight," that's Boston Celtics minus eight points. "NYK, 2.5," that's the Knicks minus two and a half points.

Steve McGarrett: Check you out.

Danny Williams: The guy was an animal. Had bets all over the place.

Derek Marcum: What use would I have for the deed to your home?

Chin Ho Kelly: I need $200,000 and I need it now.
