"Any luck?" Kono asked Danny as she sat down on one of the beds in their hotel room. They had arrived in Japan and had managed to book themselves into a hotel not too far from the prison they suspected Steve was in but they were still having trouble in getting in touch with Joe.

Danny shook his head as he sat on the bed next to her and put his phone in his pocket. "No. It's still out of service."

"You think he's gotten rid of it? Got a new phone?" Chin suggested looking to him from the window as he kept an eye on everything outside. They could never be too careful.

Danny shrugged. "I don't know, but until we can get a hold of him we are on our own. What do we know about this prison exactly?"

"They are very strict." Chin commented looking to him with a sigh as he moved to sit down on the chair in the corner. "We need a good solid story for them to even consider letting us in."

"Or we show authority? Demand to see him?" Kono suggested. "We are cops after all."

Chin sighed a little. "I don't know if that's a good idea. They might end up laughing at us and telling us to go do one. This isn't Hawaii anymore. They have their own set of rules here."

"Well let's get down there and see what we can do. See how far we can get. Any problems then we need to try and contact Joe or at least one of his contacts." Danny told them as he headed to the door only to stop in his tracks as he opened the door and Joe was standing there. "Joe…"

"Hello Danny." Joe commented with a soft smile.

"I've been trying to get a hold of you."

"I know. I called The Palace. Lou told me you'd be here. He tracked your cell for me."

"Well why isn't yours on?"

"When in Japan I don't want to be found." He told them with a slight chuckle as he stepped inside and looked to him before smiling to Kono and Chin. "Good to see you guys again."

"You too but when did you get here?" Kono asked looking to him.

"A few hours ago."

"Have you found out who sent you that photo?" Danny asked looking to him.

Joe sighed as he shook his head. "Sadly not, but I've been to the prison…"

"And is he there?" Danny quickly asked to him.

Joe sighed as he looked to him moving his hands to into his pockets. "There is no one there under the name Steve McGarrett…"

"So the photo was a fake…" Kono mumbled with a sigh.

"Not necessarily. I believe he's being held there under a false name to prevent us having access to him because unless you know the name of the inmate you want to talk to they will not let you in." Joe explained looking between them.

Danny sighed a little as he thought for a minute before looking to them. "Let's go."

"Where we going?" Kono asked with a frown.

"We're going to the prison."

"And how are you planning on getting us in Danny?" Kono asked looking to him. "If he's under a fake name then we got no chance of getting to him."

Danny took out the photo from his pocket and showed it to them. "I'm going to show them this picture. Then we'll know for sure if he's in there or not."

"You think they'll let us in with just a picture?" Chin asked looking to him.

Danny shrugged. "We won't know until we try. Let's go." He told him as he folded the picture back up and slid it back into his pocket. He wasn't going anywhere until he knew if Steve was in that prison. Heading down with others following shortly behind him he stepped out into the street and glanced around briefly before looking back to Joe. "How far is the prison from here?"

"Not far. Ten minute walk if that." He told him with a slight shrug as he started walking in the direction of the prison.

Danny nodded as he started to follow, walking beside Chin he looked to him. "If we get in and it is him I want you to record it. I want proof for Sam. She'll need to see that he's alive."

Chin looked to him and nodded. "Of course." He sighed. "Danny if he is there…how are we going to get him out?" He asked quietly.

Danny sighed a little. "I don't know. We'll figure something out. If he's going under a different name then we need to know why and if that is the main reason he is in there. If they think he is someone else that could be our main obstacle in getting him out."

"Well if he's in maximum security they must think he's done something pretty awful. I mean these guys can only talk to cops and lawyers. They're not allowed to see or speak to family members." Chin mumbled looking to him.

He looked to him. "I know…but if it is him then we just got to get him out. No matter who they think he is we've got to rescue him." He sighed before looking to Joe. "These guys speak English Joe?" He asked over to him.

Joe looked back to him. "They understand more than they can speak so we should be okay. I will warn you though they are not the friendliest of prison guards."

"Takes more than some scary prisons guards to put us off." Kono mused to him before she then stopped as they reached outside the main section of the prison where two armed guards stood in front of the main gate.

"Be firm and show them your badges." Joe mumbled to them as he stood with them.

Danny got out his badge. "Hawaii Five-O task force. We need to get inside to question a suspect." He told them firmly. He was getting in. He wouldn't leave.

The two guards looked to each other briefly before stepping aside and opening the gate.

"That was easy…" Chin mumbled before they all then headed inside.

"Too easy…" Kono commented before looking to Joe and Danny in front of them as they headed inside.

Heading inside, Danny looked around briefly before heading over to the desk. It was so dark and dingy in here. It was awful. Taking out the photograph he then showed it to the man behind the desk. "We need to have a word with this man."

Taking the photo the guy looked to it before pushing it back to Danny. "Prisoner not allowed visitors." He simply told him.

"We're not visitors." Chin cut in looking to him before showing his badge. "We need to speak to this man in connection to a number of crimes in the state of Hawaii."

"Prisoner not allowed visitors of any kind. Strict instructions." He told them once more.

"Instructions from who?" Danny asked with a slight frown to the guard.

"That is private." He simply replied. "Please leave."

Joe watched him for a few minutes before he then dug into his pocket and took out a wad of cash as he looked to the guard offering him a large amount. "All we want is five minutes." He slid the money over to him. "No one needs to know that we were here….in fact you let us see him and I'll then double what I've given you if you keep it zipped."

The guard looked to Joe for a few minutes before he took the money and moved it into his pocket. "Fine. But only two of you."

"Danny you and Chin go in." Joe told him. "I'll try and get some more information."

Danny and Chin nodded before looking to the guard as he got up and headed towards a door. Danny could here inmates shouting. As the guard said something to another guard in Japanese Danny looked to Chin. "You understood what he said?"

Chin shook his head. "Sorry but no. Not my strongest language." He admitted before looking to the guard as he came over to them.

"Search then you go in." He told them gesturing to a guard who was waiting by the door. "Five minutes."

Danny nodded before going over to the other guard. Seeing they had to go through a metal detector he looked to Kono and called her over, handing her all of his stuff first before walking through the metal detector. He wanted his stuff left with Kono! As Chin walked through behind them he then looked to the prison. There was prison bars separating them from the inmates. The inmates were going crazy, trying to reach out to grab them. It was like they were in a zoo! Keeping a safe distance they then walked down the prison some more, trying to find who they were looking for.

"I don't see him." Chin whispered to Danny wish a sigh.

Danny sighed. "Neither do…" He began before he then nudged Chin as he saw two guards bringing a guy fitting Steve's description before shoving him into the bars.

"Five minutes." The one told Danny and Chin before walking off.

Danny looked to the guards before he then stepped forward. Looking to the man in front of him. He was scrawny. Covered in dried blood. Cuts and bruises all over his face. Grubby t-shirt, ripped jeans, but it was Steve. It was Steve McGarrett. He was alive.

Chin had the whole thing on record on his phone. Hopefully this would be the evidence enough for Sam!

"Steve…" Danny mumbled as he stepped up to the bars and looked to his brother in law.

Lifting his head, Steve looked to him for a minute. He thought he was dreaming. For a long time he had dreamt of this day. The day that he would be rescued. It wasn't until Danny said his name that it clicked that this time it WAS real. "Danny…" He mumbled to him before he moved his hands around the bars. Even his knuckles were cut and bruised. "Get me out of here." It was a plea. A beg. He needed to get out.
