The lawman will be programmed to impart false information under interrogation -- and U.S. intelligence will leak word that McGarrett knows the identity of "Control," the man who has direct supervision of U.S. agents in the region. McGarrett, as planned, is captured and subjected to Wo Fat's "cocoon." He also uncovers the traitor who has been helping Wo Fat.
