The Listener. Episode #112. Originally aired: Jan 16 1973
Pretty classic episode which features the lunatic babblings of a completely crazy postal worker who is tormenting a local shrink, bugging his home and office. It's a level of audio surveillance which probably surpasses anything the CIA could do and part of the Conversation-era paranoia about bugs. The poodle-permed shrink seems a disaster (his patients one bad call away from suicide) and is played by the character actor Robert Foxworth who has worked forever playing these professional characters--just the other day I saw him as the Gilmore's family lawyer in The Gilmore Girls. With a complex, almost submarine-like mechanism, Che Fong and Dan-o ensnare the psycho, but McGarrett makes the collar with a savage right hook. Again, McGarrett's basic intolerance for psychological "excuse" rules Oahu.
Highlight: McGarrett's visible anger when the shrink finds it hard to heed his command to be quiet.
