Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Five-O obtains a court order to tap the Telex machines of five companies to see if one of them is running a suspected blackmail operation. Dan Williams (James MacArthur) then calls McGarrett to say, "Steve, got a breakthrough on our Veritex." He proceeds to tell McGarrett what the *Telex* taps disclosed about the other four companies. What Williams should have said was, "Steve, got a breakthrough on our Telex"; *Veritex* was the name of the company discovered to be running the blackmail operation.
