The Five-0 Task Force investigates the explosion and finds remnants of a claymore mine. Jenna recognizes it as work of Wo Fat. Charlie Fong matches a writing sample on the envelopes to Laura's. Jenna finds out that a shipment of military supplies containing claymore's were stolen and that the main suspect was Dale O'Riley. Steve and Danny visit Dale, who claims that he sold the mine to Steve McGarrett.

Chin tells Steve, Danny, and Jenna that when HPD processed Laura's house Steve's fingerprints were found inside. Dale is offered a deal, and is offered leniency in exchange for testimony that he actually sold the mine to Wo Fat.

Steve comes up with a plan to break into the Governor's mansion and when he does he finds more items from the toolbox along with photos of Laura delivering envelopes to him.
