John couldn't act upon his findings due to threats to his family, including his wife's death. Wo Fat later confronted Joe White in his apartment to find out what Joe knew.

Joe retorted by asking what "Shelburne" was. Wo Fat was left troubled, admitting to Joe that he was surprised by how much Joe and Steve know. Wo Fat then attempted to kill Joe with a gun he was carrying but Joe disarmed him. The two men then engaged in a brutal fight in which Wo Fat used his greater skill in martial arts to finally get the upper hand on the well-trained Joe.

Wo Fat had been using her hope that Josh had survived to keep Jenna working for him in order to get to Steve. Devastated, Jenna contacted Danny Williams and told him of what was going on while Kono Kalakaua traced the call, prompting the Hawaii Five-0 team to launch an unofficial rescue operation to save Steve.

Back in Korea, Jenna took some medical pins from Josh's knee and she slipped them to Steve while also apologizing for what had happened. Steve later used the pins to free himself and sought to escape but was recaptured.

They are forced to work together to defeat a clean-up team sent to kill them, culminating in them stealing a helicopter. They are intercepted on landing by the Yakuza, led by Adam Noshimuri , who blames Steve and Wo Fat for the death of Hiro Noshimuri , his father and the Yakuza's original leader.

Wo Fat eventually confronted Doris in Steve's home, resulting in a stand off, holding each other at gunpoint. However, Doris fired three shots into the ground, giving Wo Fat time to escape although it's not known the reason why she allowed this.

Danny exchanged fire with Wo Fat during the rescue, but Wo Fat managed to escape once again. Unaware to her, she inadvertently stopped him for Steve to notice Wo Fat during that interview and gave chase, firing several shots, but Wo Fat evaded capture. Wo Fat was later severely injured during a gunfight, which involved his helicopter being shot down and receiving burns around the left side of his body, in the jungle, where he begged Steve to kill him.

Steve refused to do so, and he opted to send Wo Fat to hospital instead, with prison officers guarding the room while Wo Fat lay handcuffed to the bed.

At the end of the episode, Fat told Steve that he was his protection because the unknown forces currently breaking down Fat's door want Wo Fat dead, ending the episode in a cliffhanger. In O ka Pili'Ohana ka 'Oi , he escapes from prison using a bomb made out of paint thinner, fertiliser and nitroglycerine pills. During that time, Steve was held captive and given drugs, even going so far as to hallucinate an alternate reality where he was still a Navy SEAL , his father John McGarrett was still alive and that as a result of the Hawaii Five-0 Task Force never existing, Danny, Chin and Kono all leading different lives and Jenna being alive.
