1A Thousand Pardons - Youre Dead!

In a show with several similarities to the previous season opener, a series of swindlings are covers for serial murder. An Army sergeant who lost his brother in Vietnam because of the latter's infatuation with a bar girl, uses Honolulu bar girls as patsies to "marry" dead soldiers and collect on their $10,000 apiece insurance policies -- then murders them and keeps the money. The sergeant is absolutely coldblooded and utters the episode's title when his partner (who has been forging the marriage certificates and the insurance papers) has a heart attack and can't get to his nitro tablets. An unusually violent ending. From this point, all series closing credits are played over shots of men paddling an outrigger canoe through the ocean (replacing the first-season end title of a flashing police light on a car driving through Honolulu); the color and size of the credit cards is also altered.

2To Hell with Babe Ruth

Nagata escapes from a mental institution, thinking it is December 1941. He had been part of a group called Black Dragons, a Japanese group that engaged in "fifth column" activities.

4Just Lucky, I Guess

A businessman at a convention in Honolulu decides to indulge himself just a little bit more and plans a one-night stand with a prostitute. When he gets to her apartment, he hears a knock on the door and is told to hide on the terrace. The woman's new guest is a brutal mobster who throws her off the balcony to her death. The businessman has a Hobson's choice of reporting the crime and facing repercussions from his Kiwanish-like home town, not reporting it and having a guilty conscience, or what actually happens -- he doesn't report it, but the mobster's goons figure out there was a witness to the crime and go after him anyway. Will the businessman 'fess up to his indiscretion (pretty rank even now, think about what it was in 1969) or face getting blown away by a shotgun in a parking garage (which is just what happens at the two-thirds mark of the show; they miss but plan to try again)?

5Savage Sunday

A group of revolutionaries from a Latin American country have entered Hawaii illegally, raided an armory and stolen weapons and ammunition. Their leader is wounded and captured by McGarrett but his men manage to whisk him away from the hospital where he is being held.

McGarrett and the Five-O team piece together Karen`s presence and go to confront her, but she has trance flashbacks and runs into the path of a truck, and dies before giving any real evidence except Farrar`s name.McGarrett decides to put a woman detective Joyce Bennett (Marianne McAndrew) undercover in Farrar`s class.Meanwhile, Wo Fat (Khigh Dhiegh) is seen meeting with Farrar and reveals the Five-O plan, and urges Farrar to use Joyce as his next hypnosis subject, to plant a post-suggestion in her to kill McGarrett with a bullet (the episode`s title). Wo Fat reveals that during Farrar`s POW time spent in southeast Asia, he taught his prize pupil all his skills of hypnosis.Farrar starts his brainwash of Joyce by casually probing her past on a beach-date, and under a drug-induced state of consciousness with accompanying etherial music, discovers a childhood memory of a man that hurt her mother. Farrar convinces Joyce via a post-hypnotic implant that McGarrett is her mother`s nemesis and must be killed.Joyce lures McGarrett to the college campus late one evening and when they are leaving she sees a gun in her purse and shoots McGarrett in the left shoulder once, missing on four other attempts to fatally wound him. McGarrett hides and sees Farrar coaxing on Joyce, and trys to sneak behind him. Alas he loses his gun in the manoeuver thus has to fight Farrar hand-to-hand. It is dark and Joyce is confused watching the two fight, finally shooting Farrar with her last shot. As McGarrett approaches her she repeatedly tries to fire upon him but her gun is empty (six shots). They leave the campus as the episode ends.

7Sweet Terror

On a plane bound for Hawaii, Prof Stoss kills a federal agent that is tracking him just as the plane starts to land. When McGarrett and the Five-O team arrive at the scene, the medical examiner explains the death and coupled with another federal agent`s explanation of the assignment, they conclude an act of terrorism is about to happen.The only clue left by the dead agent is a sketch of a woman, Mariana, that the Five-O team traces to a hotel. They follow her to a chemicals shop but she elludes them out the back, only to become a victim of an automobile accident. The detectives get the chemical list from the shop proprietor and piece together what she is planning on making, a medium to cultivate a fungus.Meanwhile, Stoss sends a henchman Lao to the hospital to get the chemical formula from Mariana, and to offer her a poison to take her life so she does not reveal the terrorist plot. She takes the poison before McGarrett arrives but manages to help him by connecting Stoss.With a team assembled by the governor, they all conclude the Hawaiian sugar fields are the target of the fungus. The state produces about 40% of the world`s sugar supply, a tidy profit for other countries to take a firm hold of with the Hawaiian crops damaged for 5 years. In particular is Esteban`s South American country with a large surplus of sugar but no where to sell it.The Five-O team races to find anyone with ties to the plot and access to a means to deliver the fungus such as aircraft or helicoptors. A small test batch of the fungus infects a crop and the agricultural agent orders the field burned down to prevent spreading. McGarrett traces the clues to an old island resident who owns crop dusting equipment and confronts Stoss only to be taken captive.Stoss knows his plan is unravelling and decides to escape, but leaves a henchman with orders to kill McGarrett. The henchman is distracted by the Hawaiian farmer and McGarrett overpowers him, taking his rifle and follows Stoss, Lao and Esteban. Lao is sacrificed by Stoss as there is not room for him on the helicoptor for three to escape from the villa. McGarrett arrive and shoots Esteban, cornering Stoss, who tries to use the trick cane he has (the same weapon he killed the government agent on the plane with) to kill McGarrett. The trick almost works but McGarrett holds on and the rest of Five-O arrive to "book" Stoss. The sugar crops are safe.

Meanwhile, the "syndicate" on the mainland, nervous that Finney is being investigated, sends a hitman to Hawaii to kill Finney.

11Leopard on the Rock

A president of an South American country, Savang, is en route to an Asian conference by plane when it has to divert to Hawaii for fuel problems (actually the pilot rigs the emergency). The president is disliked by his people and many reside on the island and seek revenge.

12The Devil and Mr. Frog

Just as the ransom money has been delivered, the kidnap victim escapes; one of his two kidnappers falls to his death trying to chase him. The surviving kidnapper concocts another scheme: he holds the ransom money (which is hot) hostage and tries to coax the kidnapped boy's greedy father into laundering it for him. The kidnapper, an accomplished scuba diver (the source of the episode's title) plans to swim underwater to and from the dropoff point. Five-O identifies the kidnapper and tails him, at one point donning frog masks in an attempt to rub his nose in his activities, but the kidnapper relies on the father to shake any tails and deliver the money to him at 25 cents on the dollar, the standard rate for laundered money. It sounds like a great bargain for the father and he holds up his end of the deal -- but that's not the end of it.

13The Jokers Wild, Man, Wild!

17Run, Johnny, Run

John Mala was a local Hawaiian boy headed for big time trouble until McGarrett, using his US Navy background, got Johnny to enlist in the USN. But Johnny could not cope with the structure and rules and went AWOL. He is spotted by USN Shore Patrol (SP`s the police for the Navy) and chased. In a struggle with one of the SPs at a ballpark, Johnny gets a hold of the SP`s 45 handgun and off camera a shot is heard, Johnny runs and the other SP, Walt Kramer (Christopher Walken) comes to the body of his fallen comrade laying dead.The word gets out to Five-O since this happened on Hawaiian soil and he goes to visit Mrs. Mala to ask about her son. She distrusts everything she knows about the history of McGarrett and Johnny fearing for her son`s safety knowing the SP was killed. Young Tommy Mala, seeing this, remains silent as well.Back at Five-O HQ, Steve is troubled by the incident, he does not think Johnny could be capable of shooting someone. Tommy sneaks into McGarrett`s office with a message from his mother, he is to take McGarrett to get Johnny in a sugar cane field. They bring in Johnny and McGarrett questions him, he does not remember firing the gun, but he remembers hearing the shot whistle past his ear. McGarrett introduces an attorney who tries to start putting together a defense for Johnny, but Johnny sees this as betrayal by McGarrett, he is stuck in the system and doomed for prison.Back at Five-O HQ, McGarrett gets the whole team together and gives them assignments to investigate the shooting, including going over the entire crime scene at the ballpark to find the missing 45 slug. Chin and Kono are looking for the slug at the park, and try to recreate the angles that the lab has for the murder, a shot from above the head piercing through and deflecting out under the left shoulder. Each angle they try seems to have holes in the balistics path, until Chin goes high up a ramp and with a trash can moved, he and Kono see where the shot was from above and ricoched off the pavement into a wooden support beam--they have the badly deformed slug for McGarrett.Meanwhile Johnny overpowers a prison guard and steals his sidearm escaping to a military area. The SP want to move in but McGarrett convinces them to let him try first to prevent unnecessary loss of life, armed Johnny`s and the SPs. Johnny and McGarrett meet and Johnny warns him off, even shooting at his feet, but Steve keeps coming. They fight all over the bluff top until McGarrett convinces Johnny to come in.Back at Five-O HQ, McGarrett is concerned about the ballistics and the fatal wound for SP Waters. Using chalk and a crude drawing of the ballpark ramp with paper cutouts for Johnny and the SP Waters, he sees where it was impossible for a close range shot because there were NO gunpowder burns on Waters, thus the shot scientifically had to be from further away than Johnny could have fired with Waters 45 gun.He follows Kramer with Water`s widow Sue to her apartment, and after watching an exchange where Kramer tries to sooth Sue, confronts Kramers alone. He asks to take a ride, and Kramer is suspicious but takes McGarrett to the ballpark. En route they discuss Sue and Kramer admits they were very close once, before the Navy, but then Sue fell in love with Waters and married him instead.At the ballpark, McGarrett goes over the evidence with Kramer, discussing angles and the lack of powder burns, and even the connection Sue has with Kramer. He hints that maybe there was an accident that day of the shooting, that Johnny did not shoot Waters but Kramer did. Kramer points out his 45 was returned to the armory with a full clip, but that Waters gun was missing one shot. McGarrett proposes that Kramer switched clips when he was standing over his friend`s body to cover the evidence, and after some more interrogation Kramer admits he shot Waters from above when he saw the struggle trying to hit Johnny, but killing the SP instead.The show ends with McGarrett bringing Johnny back to his family, and a smile as he watches the reunion.

19The One with the Gun

A poker game ends with a tourist losing a lot of money and leaving the house. While getting in his car he notices a van behind some trees, looks inside to see a lot of eavesdropping equipment and heads back to the house and the game.

The tourist is found mortally wounded but still alive.Five-O arrive and the tourist is taken to a hospital while the team investigates the room. McGarrett follows the ambulance and is told at the hospital the tourist is dying. His new bride, Maggie, arrives and is distraught but allowed to talk to him. He whispers *Left handed...* to her and dies. She does NOT tell McGarrett this fact when questioned.Maggie`s brother in law, Lorenzo (John Colicos, who played Klingons during Star Trek), is due to arrive on a flight from the mainland and she meets it. She tells Lorenzo about the "left handed" death statement and Lorenzo starts his own investigation.McGarrett knows there were 5 men in the poker game, that the dead tourist smoked menthol cigarettes, Mr A (since they do not know names) chewed gum, Mr. B wore glasses, Mr. C smoked cigars and Mr. D a different cigarette. The house the game was in was apparently not owned or related to anyone that can be traced, but the video equipment for spying is found and the technician located and questioned. He does not volunteer anything to Five-O.Lorenzo slowly locates the players himself, trying to find the left-handed one. He dismisses George Byas (the other smoker) since he is not left handed, but that leads to Lilo (the gum chewer) and finds he is not left handed, but that leads to Del Enright (glasses).McGarrett trys pressing Maggie to stop Lorenzo from interferring with the investigation, and she does not cooperate. McGarrett and Five-O are about a step behind in each player`s identification.At Enright`s house, Lorenzo wants him to throw a tennis ball to see if he is left handed but Quong (Jack Soo of "Barney Miller" fame) hiding in the bushes kills Enright before he throws, and wounds Lorenzo before fleeing. Now Lorenzo believes it is Quong (the cigar smoker and only one that remains) so he tracks him down, first calling Maggie to try and get some medical help and a message to McGarrett.McGarrett arrives as Maggie is on the phone with Lorenzo, telling her that Lorenzo is wanted for murder (Enright) and she would be an accessory if she keeps hiding the truth, Maggie finally tells McGarrett that her husband shared the "left handed..." comment with her, but when she hands the phone to McGarrett to talk to Lorenzo, he has hung up.HPD spots Lorenzo in Quong`s neighborhood and Five-O speed to the scene. Lorenzo is not 100% sure it was Quong so he forces his way in confronting him. Quong makes a drink for Lorenzo and uses his left hand to offer it confirming finally he was the shooter of Lorenzo at Enright`s house, the killer of Enright, and he killed Lorenzo`s brother.Quong distracts Lorenzo with some false evidence that it was instead Enright who shot his brother and pulls his own gun (in his left hand).

They find the Enright murder weapon still in Quong`s hands solving that case, but there is the matter of Lorenzo.

Chin has no solid alibi for the time frame involved.Garland at the newpaper gets an annonymous tip about a bank account for an oriental named Sung. Danny gets a court order to view the activity with bank manager Summers. He sees evidence for the last six weeks showing $200 deposits and when Summers is questioned by McGarrett at Five-O HQ, he identifies Chin as Mr. Sung, but his story has holes especially when McGarrett questions him why he remembers so much about the new account for Sung (Chin) but little about over 70 other new accounts opened at the bank since the Sung account. The business suit Summers said Sung wore that day, blue, matches one Chin has, but his is heavy wool for winter wear, and it was hot and humid the day the account was openned. Summers is nervous after the interrogation, and followed by Danny he goes to see Calhao.With the connection to Calhao, Danny and Five-O investigate his background and discover he works for Brohme. McGarrett decides to press forward with heat on Brohme so Danny makes a call at Brohme`s house, telling him that all his network is being leaned on and arrests were occurring and his phone will start ringing, which it does.

As he leaves to get into his car, a shot rings out and strikes the pavement in front of him.Calhao runs across the street into a building under construction, followed by two men in trench coats. He is shot again and starts going further up into the building still followed by the two men in trench coats. As he gets to another floor he hears sirens coming and runs to the front of the building spotting McGarrett and an HPD car showing up. He yells to them and reverses his tracks to get out onto the street and comes up to McGarrett, he wants protection because he thinks Brohme has sent the two men to kill him.McGarrett tells Calhao the only way he can protect him is if he is in police custody and reveals all the details of the frame in a sworn statement. Calhao agrees to go down to police HQ and is taken off by the HPD officer. When it is clear, out walk Danny and Kono in trench coats, and McGarrett teases them they must have shot pretty close to Calhao to spook him so.

1And a Time to Die...

Wo Fat brings in an assassin to kill a man who made a tour of Communist China and got a good look at its nuclear facilities. The spy freaks out and runs just before the sniper pulls the trigger, and it takes three shots to bring him down. When the man is still alive with a bullet next to his brain, Wo Fat and his goons contact the top neurosurgeon in Hawaii with a request to make sure the spy dies on the operating table. To ensure his "cooperation," the goons kidnap the doctor's daughter and hold her on a boat. McGarrett and a Federal agent embark on an elaborate case of counter-espionage to trick Wo Fat into going back to Peking/Beijing and getting the Party bosses to tear down their nuclear reactors -- and to find the girl, her kidnappers and the mole who tipped off Wo Fat in the first place.

2Trouble in Mind

3The Second Shot

A German journalist, in Honolulu to interview an exile from the Greek military junta's rule, is shot down as he exits the airplane. The journalist survives, but barely, as the bullet came within an eighth of an inch of his heart. The exile, a doctor, takes an interest in the case and secretly moves the journalist into his fortress-like mansion to take care of him himself. But McGarrett becomes suspicious as various details to the shooting don't add up, and comes to think the shooting was a setup for a very different assassination attempt.

4Time and Memories

McGarrett is awakened at 3:00 A.M. by a phone call from a past girlfriend, who hangs up before he is fully awake. The girlfriend then goes back to her husband's beach house and finds him dead from multiple blows to the head. Pieces of evidence around the crime scene implicate the woman, and eventually McGarrett is forced to arrest her (amid numerous flashbacks to their romance when McGarrett was a Navy lieutenant -- there are scenes filmed at the U.S.S. Arizona memorial where the woman's brother drowned on December 7, 1941). But not only does McGarrett have to fight his own emotional involvement, he has to check out at least three other possible suspects in the killing: the husband's law partner, his daughter from a previous marriage and the daughter's hot-shot attorney fiancé' who knows a great deal about crime scenes.

The punks steal the violin back and kill the teacher. They decide to ask $30,000 for the return of the violin, which the Russian quickly agree to. When the money is delivered, the men decide to kill the Russian violinist, just as McGarret and his men show up.

8The Reunion

"Respectable" Japanese-American businessmen and the former POWs in camps who recognize their tormentors. In this case, three men reunite at the Ilkai Hotel in Honolulu 25 years after they were liberated from a Philippine prison camp. One of the three is relatively healthy, but another drags himself on crutches with a hopelessly mangled leg and another floats through life with a permanent brain injury. The man on crutches spots a businessman, calls him by a very different name and wallops him over the head with the crutches. The name the man utters is that of the prison-camp commandant, who selectively tortured the three men into losing what they wanted the most. It's not long before things begin to escalate. First, the Japanese businessman is trapped in his car with a time bomb ticking down in the engine. Five-O is on the scene and gets him out in the nick of time, and later figures out the bomb plant was a plot to terrorize him. But then s sharpshooter blazes away at the businessman and the third prisoner, who is tormented by being unable to save the other two. The third prisoner finds eternal peace, but the second prisoner is imprisoned because the rifle is in his room and he doesn't have the mind to explain it. So who is guilty of all the crimes?

9The Late John Louisiana

10The Last Eden

11Over Fifty? Steal

Lewis Avery Filer had been an insurance investigator forced to retire when his company was taken over by a conglomerate.

Filer also is gaining publicity as he outwits the police.

12Beautiful Screamer

Two women are strangled and portions of a poem are written, in lipstick, on their legs. The second is the girlfriend of Dan Williams. He is on edge, wanting to work on the case "or else it's going to work on me." Danno, however, beats up a person who knew his girlfriend before Kono and Chin Ho can stop him. It turns out the real killer is Walter Gregson, who really wants to kill his wife (a friend of the two dead women) and make it appear all the deaths were committed by a psychopath.

13The Payoff

McGarrett receives a call from a Skid Row bum who says he has vital evidence in a mainland case. When McGarrett and Danno arrive at the man's fleabag apartment, he's disappeared, with a trail of blood indicating he was robbed and shot but managed to escape. In his mattress, the investigators find some silver certificates which they recognize were used as ransom money in a mainland kidnapping eight years ago where the victim was murdered and the kidnappers escaped. In the interval, silver certificates were removed from circulation and are therefore now "hot money." Five-O figures out that the man who called them was the bagman for the killers and took off with the loot, and they've finally tracked him down. When a woman spends two $20 certificates at a dry-cleaning establishment, Five-O realizes she's one of the killers, but can't find her yet. They do find the dying man, though, and he tells Five-O that a husband-and-wife duo shot him and took off with most of the certificates -- and that the duo's mainland accomplices, whom they also stiffed, are in Hawaii looking for them as well.

14The Double Wall

A prison lifer working in the infirmary as an orderly gets the shock of his life when a dying fellow inmate confesses that he himself committed the murder that the orderly, a businessman on the outside, was convicted of three years earlier. Nobody else heard the confession, and there is no evidence tying the now-dead hit man to the murder. The orderly freaks out and grabs a guard's riot shotgun, tapes it to the throat of the prison doctor and sends out the word -- reopen his case and find the person who ordered the hit, or get the doctor's head on a plate. Skeptical at first, McGarrett soon finds evidence that contradicts statements made at the businessman's trial and renders his "motive" for the murder meaningless. He still doesn't know who could have ordered the hit, though. A professional colleague of suspect, victim and the suspect's lawyer is found to have perjured at the trial -- coached by the lawyer, who DID order the hit. The lawyer's two hired thugs waste the colleague in traffic as he goes to talk to McGarrett, then go after the colleague's wife. The scene switches back to the infirmary, where the doctor persuades the increasingly sleepy convict to cut the tape holding the shotgun, in case it goes off accidentally. The doctor, though, believes the convict's story and refuses to alert guards that he's cut the other half of the tape while the convict was sleeping and now has the shotgun in his own hands. McGarrett, still lacking a firm case, tries to find the business partner's wife -- the last possible witness -- before the lawyer and his thugs do.

15Paniolo

A Maui cowboy (the episode title means "cowboy" in Hawaiian) kills a real-estate developer who's trying to take over the ranch where the cowboy has worked. The cowboy tries to escape into the island's rugged highlands while McGarrett pursues, trying to get him to surrender.

16Ten Thousand Diamonds and a Heart

A notorious thief is sprung from prison by a criminal gang who wants him to teach them how to rob a diamond exchange and escape undetected.

17To Kill or Be Killed

18F.O.B. Honolulu: Part I

Jonathan Kaye enlists Five-O's help to track down the plates and a Navy intelligence officer, and a friend of McGarrett's, also is part of the probe. However, the Navy man is secretly working with Nicole Fleming, one of the criminals after the plates.

19F.O.B. Honolulu: Part II

U.S. Commander Nicholson now has the perfect counterfeit plates. His price: $2 million and amnesty for all crimes (including the murder of the man he got the plates from).

3Wednesday, Ladies Free

Several women have been strangled in Honolulu. The pattern in all of the cases was that after each killing, the killer would put make-up and a wig on each victim as if he wanted them to look like a prostitute.

Meanwhile, Edmonds has summoned a hit man from the Mainland to kill Willy.

13Is This Any Way to Run a Paradise?

Someone calling himself "Kahili" (the Hawaiian god of battle) wages his own personal war against polluters. At first the pranks are bad but not dangerous, like climbing a ladder to the top of a huge chimney with a 125-pound ceremonial shield and capping the chimney (thus blowing out the furnace inside and chasing everyone out of the factory). However, Kahili's actions get steadily more violent. After blasting a crop-dusting plane with a shotgun (he pulls the pilot to safety), Kahili types up a list of the five worst polluters in Hawaii and entitles it "Kahili Death List." One of the five suffers a heart attack and another flees, so Kahili goes after the most heavily guarded of the three and breaks his neck with one hand.

24R & R & R

1Hookman

Curt Stoner lost his hands many years ago when dynamite he was holding to extort money from a bank exploded literally in his face. In prison, he acquired prosthetic hands which he uses with remarkable dexterity. On the outside, he acquired four rifles -- one for each of the four cops who were on the scene, ending with McGarrett. Stoner uses a lettering kit and gold plates to stamp each officer's name on his rifle, which he then uses to gun them down from a distance. When McGarrett and Danno survive a blaze of gunfire and Stoner escapes in his car, Stoner takes off one hook, rigs it to the steering wheel, and jumps out so the car will drive itself into the ocean. (Stoner seems to have at least three sets of hooks.) That gives McGarrett his final clue, but also leads him into Stoner's next trap.

3Charter for Death

In the second series episode to deal with bubonic plague, the U.S. Coast Guard finds a schooner adrift off the coast of Oahu, and calls Five-O when it also finds three crew members murdered. McGarrett is called in, and finds the boat is rat-infested -- the crew members had all caught bubonic plague. McGarrett is also exposed to the disease, and is taken to an isolation ward. Further investigation reveals that three people -- a Corsican gangster named Paoli, his daughter Theresa and Theresa's husband Thomas Brown -- had charted the schooner to take them across the Pacific from Asia, where Paoli had recently withdrawn $5 million in mob funds. The trio goes underground in Honolulu's seedy netherworld and can't be located, so the Governor declares the whole island in a state of quarantine -- no flights can depart Honolulu International Airport and no boats can leave without all passengers being checked out. As Theresa goes downhill steadily, Thomas Brown gets a shot of a plague vaccine (Danno, to a mobster who met Brown): "Tetracycline isn't worth a damn for someone who already has the plague ... by the way, have you had your shot?") and searches for a clandestine way to get off the island. Theresa dies of the disease and Brown shoots Paoli, who goes down literally spitting curses at him. Brown then manages to get a helicopter to come from Hilo to an isolated part of Oahu, where he can fly to the Big Island and get to the mainland via the Hilo airport. After interrogating the mobster and revealing Brown's true nature to him ("That lying son of a ...!") Danno gets directions to the takeoff point and it becomes a race against time.

A family of white trash drifters arrive in Honolulu and take up residence in a suite at one of the most expensive hotels in town. However, when their money is about to run out the the father of the family, Sam Fergusson, takes a job at a local café as a dishwasher. However, at the end of the week Sam and his son Jeb murder the owner and the cook and steal a small amount of money. Soon they move from job to job repeating the same pattern of taking menial jobs and murdering the owners of the businesses for menial amount of money. They are soon linked to several similar murders on the mainland where over 150 other people were killed. Now Five-O must find the Fergussons before they escape and continue their bloody path.

5The Sunday Torch

A series of arson fires has Honolulu on edge. Each fire occurs on Sunday and despite patrols by Hawaii Five-O and HPD, authorities haven't been able to catch the arsonist. So far, no one has been injured. It turns out the fires are part of a plan by a businessman who is going to have his own company burned down so he can collect the insurance money. The earlier blazes were to establish "the Sunday Torch" M.O. and to find a suitable dupe.

6Murder Is a Taxing Affair

A rogue IRS agent on the trail of a tax evader catches him in an airplane lavatory - and strangles him. The agent's real motive for the murder was to find and keep $600,000 the dead man was carrying in a suitcase. Then the suitcase is mistakenly picked up at Honolulu Airport by a flight attendant. The agent tracks her down and murders her as well, but once again it's the wrong suitcase. Two mainland tourists have the money and the IRS agent - who has joined Five-O as a special agent on the trail of the hot money - uses the police resources to go after them.

7Tricks Are Not Treats

8Why Wait Until Uncle Kevin Dies?

Five-O investigates a company that promises heirs an early payout from wills of rich, elderly relatives. The company has been taken over by new owners in recent years and a trail of abrupt deaths has developed. McGarrett recruits a lawyer to go undercover as a high-living heir as Five-O seeks to end the killings.

9Flash of Color, Flash of Death

Hobbs, a miner from the Australian Outback, comes to Hawaii to sell opals he has dug up. Hobbs' secret is that he is actually carrying a much larger and immensely more valuable cache, which he smuggled through customs after showing them his display items. When he negotiates with a jeweler, a robber bursts in and steals all of the gems. Hobbs tells Five-O about the theft of his small items, leaving out the bigger picture. He suspects (correctly) that the robbery was an inside job pulled off by associates of the jewelry-store owner. Hobbs finds the holdup man and kills him, only to find out that the jewels in the man's possession aren't Hobbs'. He launches a violent quest to find the top-grade jewels before Five-O does.

10A Bullet for El Diablo

The daughter of a dictator is kidnapped from the University of Hawaii campus. The conspirators are young people committed to overthrowing the dictator, known as El Diablo. One of the conspirators is El Diablo's illegitimate daughter from an affair and resembles the daughter. After El Diablo is assassinated, the question is whether Five-O can save the daughter.

11The Finishing Touch

12Anybody Can Build a Bomb

An entity calling itself Mercury threatens to explode an atomic bomb in Honolulu unless it's paid $100 million. Five-O enlists the aid of a nuclear physicist, unaware he's working with Mercury. The physicist comes to realize he has been played for a fool. The realization, though, may have come too late.

13Try to Die on Time

A chronic gambler, pretending he has cancer, sells chances on the hour of the day he will die at $10,000 apiece. The winner gets all 24 tickets. The gambler actually doesn't have cancer (he has Lou Gehrig's disease, ALS, instead), and plans to commit suicide at an appointed time so that a specific person will get the money. But as the gambler talks to his doctor outside a party, the doctor is gunned down and the gambler is forced to take his fatal drug. The gambler's corpse is then placed in a car and driven to a remote location, where the hot sun makes it impossible to tell the exact time of his death. The killer then works on eliminating the others who bought a chance, and figuring out to whom the gambler planned to leave the money.

14The $100,000 Nickel

Ex-con Arnie (Eugene Troobnick) is hired by European criminal Eric Damien (Victor Buono) to swap a counterfeit coin with a genuine one worth $100,000, which he successful does with some "leg work" by his wife, Millie (Hildy Brooks). To evade police, he sticks it into a newspaper vending machine, then waits for it to be emptied. They tail the man until he's a mile away, then ambush him, scattering the coins, but putting the vendor in a coma. When they return, Millie's lucky enough to overhear and to see a little boy pick up the coin; they follow the path of the coin takes in an effort to get a chance to recover it, with it later, coincidentally. being given back to them as change. McGarrett's on to him, though, and Arnie helps him set up Damien. As Eric is confronted en route to leaving Hawaii, another counterfeit is presented, but Damien's "magic" fails to fool McGarrett. Next flight: in about 20 years...

15The Flip Side Is Death

Four men, posing as Army specialists whose Jeep overturned and blew out cannisters of deadly poison gas, evacuate a small town on Oahu's remote north coast. That evacuation includes the bank, which the criminals then saw into and knock over for a fortune. McGarrett immediately orders a roadblock on the only highway up that side of the island, stranding the bank robbers far from any point of escape. McGarrett mans Five-O headquarters (he's absent from the action for most of this show) while Danny, Chin and Ben go op to investigate. The two mainland "haoles," a music-company owner and his buddy, have prepared for this by breaking down hundreds of old 8-track cassettes, stuffing the money inside them and giving them, a few at a time, to one of the locals, a driver for the resort hotel where they are staying, who can take them out in his van on supply runs and stash them elsewhere. The question, though, is whether the other local, a bellman at the same hotel, will crack under the stress of the investigation. He does, and is murdered. Soon the other local is slain as well. Five-O has a pretty good idea who committed the murders, but still has to catch them in the act of transporting the last of the money on their own. A good shootout at the end.

16Banzai Pipeline

Rick McDivitt, an aspiring filmmaker, and his buddy Roger, a champion surfer, hope to make a killing by showing Roger ride breathtaking waves on Oahu's North Beach and the Banzai Pipeline. When Rick runs out of film for the day, he goes back toward his car, and finds another unlocked car nearby with a businessman's jacket draped over the front seat. Rick reaches inside and lifts the wallet from the jacket, then drives to pick up Roger, evading a runaway car driven by a thug named Koa on the way. What Rick and Roger don't know is that Koa has just shoved a knife in the back of the businessman, who was involved with a crooked real-estate deal. Rick and Roger plan to use the businessman's credit cards to finance the rest of the movie, unaware that he's dead and that Koa has seen Rick. When Five-O cops go to interrogate Koa, he tries to use another knife and his kickboxing skills on them, leading to his arrest. However, Five-O can't tie him to the murder. When Rick starts purchasing camera equipment and film with the credit cards, Five-O realizes he may be a murder witness without even knowing it. So do the real-estate developer and his henchman, who go after Rick and Roger themselves.

17One Born Every Minute

Con-artists arrive in Hawaii and meet up with local thieves to plan a phony diamond con. When a wealthy tourist devastated by the con leaps to his death, McGarrett discovers he is one of many victims. As another angry victim seeking revenge and Five-O close in on the gang; the crooks turn on one another.

18Secret Witness

Five-O races to find the witness to a hit on a bagman of a local mob. The witness, who narrowly escaped being killed himself, had dropped a library book with his library card inside, providing the hitman with the name of the witness. The witness's wife doesn't want him to go to the police. Five-O's main clue is a letter the witness wrote to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin's "Secret Witness" feature that seeks tips for unsolved crimes.

19Death with Father

McGarrett joins a group of operatives trying to take down a major drug lab in the hills. The raid succeeds, but a young man smashes through a cordon in a truck and escapes. Word of the raid soon reaches a retired HPD cop, who realizes the escapee is his own son. The cop starts sneaking into evidence rooms and destroying or stealing anything which can implicate the son. Meanwhile, the son is still working as a drug dealer and holes up in another lab used to make methamphetamine. The title of this show is to be taken literally.

20Murder with a Golden Touch

A private detective, and former HPD officer, turns up dead. Following his trail, Five-O discovers the private detective was investigating whether a businessman's son-in-law was being faithful in his marriage. It turns out the son-in-law is up to his neck in a scheme to steal gold from the businessman, melt it and recast it and make it appear to be a treasure find. Things will turn more deadly before Five-O can crack the case.

21Nightmare in Blue

A rapist/killer is terrorizing Honolulu. He has already killed four women and attacked a fifth but she managed to survive. However, she is reluctant to file a report due to the fact that he claimed to be a police officer and her husband convinces her that the police won't go after their own. In fact, during a stakeout, a female police officer encounters him but due to the fact he was so convincing she lets him go. As it turns out he was a police academy washout and now McGarrett and the rest of the Five-O team must find him before he strikes again.

22Mothers Deadly Helper

A vicious law-and-order zealot becomes inflamed by various thugs getting off the hook in court on technicalities. So, using an alias, the man sends a letter to McGarrett promising to blow away the next criminal who takes a walk -- naming a specific hood in particular. The criminal walks and is drilled right in front of the courthouse. As a public debate rages on vigilante "justice," the killer sends McGarrett another note, expanding his hate list to the judges who order charges quashed on technicalities. A judge (Frank Cady of Hooterville fame in a very rare serious role) does just that and is promptly kidnapped from the courthouse by the zealot. McGarrett must pretend to appease the zealot while tracking him down.

23Killer at Sea

2430,000 Rooms and I Have the Key

Five-O matches wits with a brilliant thief who's a master of disguise and able to manufacture his own pass keys to Honolulu hotels. The thief has information on guests with valuables and how they try to hide them in their rooms. He even calls the police while disguised as a priest claiming to be robbed himself. The question is whether McGarrett & Co. can catch up to the thief.

1The Young Assassins

2A Hawaiian Nightmare

A man who's an expert in both geology and explosives, owes loan sharks more than $72,000. He has planted explosives that, if set off, will cause volcanic eruptions and is demanding $500,000 from the state of Hawaii. He has killed accomplices and is prepared to go through with his threats. But he doesn't know his fed-up wife is preparing to double cross him.

3Ill Kill Em Again

A nerdy bookstore clerk with an obsession of McGarrett turns deadly as he re-creates some of Five-O's most famous cases that were covered in a series of magazine articles. He is so brazen that he even calls McGarrett to brag about his crimes and sends him notes. Now McGarrett and the rest of the Five-O team must find the killer before he strikes again.

4Steal Now -- Pay Later

Colby runs an operation that fences stolen goods with retailers enticed by too-good-to-be-true prices. Five-O enters the case when the body of a federal law-enforcement agent -- killed during a robbery on the Mainland -- is discovered in a refrigerator shipped to Hawaii. McGarrett & Co. turn up the heat as the body count increases.

5Bomb, Bomb, Whos Got the Bomb?

A series of bomb threats against a state senator culminate in a car-bomb blast that kills his secretary. But Five-O realizes that the only tie-in to the threats and explosions is the senator himself. Five-O calls in a psychologist who determines that the senator has multiple-personality disorder -- one side of him is threatening the other, when the senator, as a young boy, fatally shot his own father in a rage, the guilt over the incident gradually caused the senator to lose his mind, making him two people, one normal and one consumed with destroying the other. The "bad" senator rigs up another bomb for the "good" senator to pick up and carry in an outdoor elevator, figuring the blast will annihilate him and much of the hotel where he's staying. McGarrett must get to the senator and get the bomb away from him before the senator -- and McGarrett himself -- go out in a blaze of glory.

6Right Grave, Wrong Body

7We Hang Our Own

A politically powerful Big Island rancher learns that his son was killed by a blow to the head. The son was involved in a fight outside a barroom with a local. The local is arrested and, over the rancher's strenuous objections, charged only with manslaughter. The rancher plots to break into the jail and kidnap the suspect, hide him on the huge ranch and ceremoniously hang him from a tree. While Five-O frantically searches for the unlucky suspect, McGarrett finds a rock at the crime scene with blood on it. "This wasn't manslaughter, Danno ... this was murder one!" He means that after the local shoved the rancher's son to the ground, knocking him unconscious, and then fled, someone else -- the rancher's other son, in fact -- finished the job. Five-O scours the ranch to capture the rancher before he can murder an innocent man.

8The Two-Faced Corpse

A Honolulu businessman is found murdered on a land tract he was trying to develop. The case has all the earmarks of a syndicate hit. Five-O traces the dead man and finds that he was, in fact, a former thug who had testified and gone into the Federal witness protection program. But they find this out so easily that McGarrett begins to suspect that the mob had nothing at all to do with the murder -- someone close to the witness, who knew all about his history, killed him and pinned it on the mob. Suspicion soon falls on the dead man's wife and her lover, who were to be the beneficiaries of a $100,000 insurance policy paid by Uncle Sam if the witness was indeed whacked (the money seems like chump change when you look at the lavish mansion where the dead man lived). McGarrett and the Federal agent overseeing the witness protection program plan in Hawaii, who have often been at odds in the past, begin to collaborate in trying to fool the killer or killers into thinking the mob is after them -- because the dead man had a surgically altered face, he could be anyone, including the wife's lover.

9How to Steal a Masterpiece

Thugs break into the heavily-guarded art room of a multimillionaire and steal a Gaugain painting worth a fortune. When Five-O comes to investigate, the millionaire, his secretary and his grandson (who are the only inhabitants of the mansion) are surprisingly uncooperative. It turns out that the old man had been planning to sell the painting and had hired two art appraisers to market it. Soon, the group receives a ransom demand. The grandson figures out a way to pay the ransom despite intense Five-O surveillance -- with grandfather, grandson and secretary all leaving to "drop off" the $250,000, leading Five-O members on a wild goose chase, and arriving at the Iolani Palace at the exact same moment. The art appraiser, who wasn't under surveillance, paid the money and got the painting back himself. This bit of mass nose-thumbing really doesn't go over well with McGarrett, who suspects the grandson of stealing the painting to get the ransom money for his own lavish lifestyle. All is not what it seems, however. When the appraisers look over the returned painting and pronounce it genuine, the grandson promptly says it's a fake. How does he know? In a roughhousing bout with a buddy, he fell onto the real painting and damaged it. That means the real painting was stolen long before; the burglary was an elaborate scheme to steal a forgery. The grandson figures out immediately who was behind the theft of the painting (and the ransom money, presumably split among the thieves and their hired burglars), but is murdered before he can tell Five-O. McGarrett knows the appraisers did the dirty work, but has no way of charging them unless somehow he can find the real painting in their hands.

10A Gun for McGarrett

11Welcome to Our Branch Office

12Presenting... in the Center Ring... Murder

A top Chinese official is visiting Hawaii for an important conference. He wants to visit the circus, creating a massive security headache for Five-O. Meanwhile, Wo Fat has now broken from the Chinese government. He opposes how China is "on bended knee" to negotiate with the United States. As a result, Wo Far has organized a complicated assassination plot.

16A Womans Work Is with a Gun

After killing a drug dealer who stiffed her, an impoverished psychotic woman asks her friends (who are in similar dire financial straits) to go with her on a scheme to rob tour buses for the valuables the tourists are carrying. The other two women agree, but things go south when the leader, Dina, starts using her big .45 automatic far too many times.

22The Hostage

A paranoid Korean War veteran, thinking a policeman is about to arrest him for a crime he didn't commit, grabs the officer's gun and shoots him. More cops appear, so the vet pulls the wounded officer's ammunition belt free and runs into an apartment occupied by a teenage girl, locking himself and the girl inside. McGarrett and HPD's SWAT team arrive at the same time, and the leader of the SWAT team wants to blast his way into the apartment and take down the gunman, who blazes away at targets all over the place. Because somehow the gunman hasn't killed anybody yet, and because McGarrett thinks the gunman might be better off in a mental hospital, McGarrett butts heads with the HPD officer and stalls to buy time to negotiate a peaceful surrender -- although the media circus surrounding the hostage situation immensely complicates the negotiation.

23Diary of a Gun

One of the better of far too many TV-series episodes advocating gun control, as four owners of a single Saturday Night Special automatic use it for death and destruction (including, in one case, a child shooting himself). Ramon Bieri, the lone credited "guest star" imported from the mainland, plays a postal worker who finds the weapon and goes postal with the gun on his wife and her lover. Stuntman and many-time bit player Beau Van Den Ecker has the second-largest role as a thug who uses the weapon in the last 15 minutes of the show to rob and shoot up convenience stores, leading to a massive manhunt and a final shootout on a freeway under construction.

246,000 Deadly Tickets

A criminal syndicate has stolen 6,000 airline, cruise and attraction tickets and is now shoving them down the throats of travel agencies, forcing them to pay for them and then "eat" them to avoid taking the blame for stealing stolen merchandise. To make sure the travel agencies stay in line, one of them is bombed, killing three people. An undercover agent from the mainland helps Five-O infiltrate the gang. The only chance you will get to see similarly-named actors Jack Hogan (who gets top billing because he was a regular on "Sierra" at the time of filming; he plays the gang's main enforcer) and Jack Kosslyn (as the Federal agent) at the same time, and one of the few times Kwan Hi Lim (as the gang boss) get guest-star billing. Features an incredibly wild chase where McGarrett, in a car driving along the edge of a canal, ducks bullets from Hogan's character in a speedboat (and they drive to one end of the canal and back up the other).

Wo Fat poses as a Chinese scientist as part of a plot to steal a deadly toxin from the University of Hawaii. After the theft McGarrett is hot on his trail to Hong Kong where he finds out that his longtime foe is in league with a triad group known as the Nine Dragons. However, McGarrett is soon captured and after he escapes he soon discovers that the theft was just a small part of a a bigger plot which could lead to nuclear Armageddon for the United States.

2Assault on the Palace

The operator of a Honolulu museum devises a scheme: use the premier Hawaiian parade as the cover for the biggest bank robbery in Hawaiian history. First he kills a history expert who would know he was fudging the details of the recreation of the 1889 Wilcox rebellion. He also recruits criminals who can execute his plan. Once the caper occurs, can McGarrett & Co. rebound to bring the criminals to justice?

3Oldest Profession: Latest Price

The wages of sin are death for prostitutes who are being murdered by a pimp and his totally psycho helper in an effort to get the survivors to join his "stable." The women organize on their own and try to fight back, but are reluctant to go to the police because they could spend a long time in jail. But as the frequency and viciousness of the attacks increase, McGarrett establishes a tenuous pipeline to the women's leader to try to trap the enforcer.

4Man on Fire

A group of university students and their professor are examining a volcanic crater when they discover the bodies of five men in an inconspicuous location. Doc Bergman is initially unable to determine the cause of their deaths, so he enlists the aid of cantankerous physicist Grant Ormsbee, with whom McGarrett and Five-O are already familiar (from the previous season's "The Defector"). Five-O eventually learns that most of the dead men came from a variety of foreign countries, and that all of them died from exposure to radiation - creating an even bigger mystery for Five-O, because there is no lawful source of radioactive material, nor a facility working with it, in Hawaii that could have led to this exposure.

5Tour de Force - Killer Aboard

A plane arrives in Hawaii with 300 passengers aboard, including a tour group of 40. After everyone has left the plane, however, a stewardess discovers that one remaining passenger is dead, the victim of a stabbing with a thin instrument of some kind. Then a woman is discovered dead in a tropical park with a similar wound. Because the victim on the plane turns out to have been a CIA agent, McGarrett contacts Jonathan Kaye in Washington, and learns that the killer may be a mysterious hit man known only as "Raymond." With little information about either the killer or his intended victim, McGarrett assigns officer Sandi Welles (seen in the previous season's "Loose Ends Get Hit") to go undercover as a guide with the tour group from the plane, hoping that she can discover something.

6The Last of the Great Paperhangers

Someone breaks into Five-O's temporary offices at the Territorial Building and, for the most part, manages to avoid the burglar alarms. When the alarm is triggered, the guard who responds is decoyed by a small music-playing souvenir doll long enough for the burglar to escape. The next day, however, Five-O's staff can find nothing missing, even though there is evidence that the lock to one of the cabinets was picked. What was taken they only learn later -- a single sheet official requisition form that is used to steal about $14,000 in state money -- the first step in an elaborate scheme by a check forger whom McGarrett once helped put in jail.

7Heads, You're Dead

In an episode based on a real-life case (the villains on this show are even WORSE than their real-life counterparts), a gang of hijackers sign on as crew members of luxury yachts, then murder the owners and steal the boats to sell in South America. Danno and Sandi Welles go undercover to track them down, but Sandi is taken hostage on one of the boats. The title of the episode comes from the particularly sadistic gang leader flipping a coin to decide whether Sandi and the other hostages, whom he's going to throw overboard, will be given a life raft (this is also taken from the real-life case; both times the life raft won the toss).

8Let Death Do Us Part

A man named Jim Spier breaks out of prison, shortly after refusing to accept parole for the second time. Spier had been convicted of the murder of his wife, but had always claimed to be innocent of the crime. With assistance from a beautician friend of his, Spier changes his appearance and begins to investigate the case against himself anew. McGarrett and Five-O also look into the crime again, even as they search for Spier - and find that upon re-examination, at least some of the evidence against Spier doesn't appear to be that solid.

9Double Exposure

An extremely violent episode in which two seriously loco mobsters wage war on each other, with Danny's photographer girlfriend -- who snapped a picture of one of the two sneaking back into the Islands -- caught in the middle. The only show for which Seth Sakai received guest-star credit (he plays the second mobster, who snaps his fingers to get ice cream literally on call) is the one that debuts his shaved head (it was filmed after "Target: A Cop"); he would use the cue-ball look for the rest of the series.

10Yes, My Deadly Daughter

The top financial aide to Chang Liu, the head of one of the islands' crime syndicates, is ambushed and killed when he tries to return to Hawaii surreptitiously via helicopter. The killers are all members of a street gang that normally wouldn't take on a criminal organization like Chang Liu's, but the gang members have inside information given by someone close to Chang Liu - his daughter. Then Chang Liu and Five-O each try to find the $4 million in laundered money that Chang Liu's aide was bringing with him when he was ambushed.

11Target - A Cop

12The Bells Toll at Noon

After a young woman has died from a drug overdose, Johnny Kling moves to avenge the death by killing those who sold and distributed the drugs. Kling performs the killings in such a way to evoke scenes from old movies. For his final target, he intends to copy the explosive ending from "White Heat."

13Man in a Steel Frame

McGarrett has been dating a fashion designer named Cathi Ryan. He receives an urgent telephone call from her one afternoon, and arrives at her house to find her apparently having just been killed. Then he is hit on the back of the head, and awakens to find neither the telephone nor his police radio working. He manages to report the crime, but then discovers that there are a number of clues suggesting either that he committed the crime -- or that he has been the victim of an elaborate plot to frame him for murder.

14Ready... Aim...

Because the country of Japan has very strong restrictions on handguns, smugglers can turn huge profits by buying or stealing them in Hawaii and seeking them on the Tokyo black market. A Tokyo police officer, who narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on the Tokyo street and picked up the assailant's weapon, traces it to Honolulu. He arrives there and tells McGarrett of his find, and the two of them form a task force to find the leaders of a Hawaiian smuggling ring.

15Elegy in a Rain Forest

Glenn Cannon's final episode as Attorney General John Manicote gives him a major role as his daughter disappears into a rain forest on the windward side of Oahu, just as a maniacal serial killer breaks the prison van and heads into the same area with a shotgun.

16Dealer's Choice - Blackmail

Officer Sandi Welles has a younger brother about whom she is VERY protective. With good reason: the brother is a chronic gambler fighting a losing battle with addiction and heavily in debt. While trying to sneak into an illegal casino through a back garage, the brother hears a policeman coming in to cover the escape route. The brother hides in the bushes -- and watches in horror as a mobster and his car barrel through the door and run over the cop, who is fatally injured. The brother runs away as McGarrett, Sandi, and others arrive on the scene. The brother does not want to let Sandi know that he has relapsed into his old gambling habits, so he contacts the mobster and demands hush money to cover his debts. The mobster agrees, but then goes after the brother with a gun.

17A Capitol Crime

A retired chemical engineer, after fighting City Hall and the state government over the proposed demolition of his housing complex for the elderly, wears a bomb into a Jimmy Borges concert and demands that the Governor cut through the red tape -- but doesn't count on the psycho girlfriend of a mobster about to be shipped to the mainland crashing the party and taking HIM hostage. This episode features Richard Denning in a larger-than-usual role and is the only acting role for director Sutton Roley, who appears at the beginning as the judge signing the extradition order.

18To Die in Paradise

Thugs kidnap a singer and spirit her off in a boat - but then the boat is caught in a violent storm and driven northwestward, where it wrecks on the north coast of Kauai. The coastline there is known as the Na Pali Cliff region and is so rugged that there are no roads and only a few trails. Everybody survives the wreck, but the kidnappers realize (from their radio) that the boat has been reported missing and is presumed destroyed -- and the kidnappers and the victim with it. To avoid losing out on the half-million-dollar ransom, the kidnappers engage the help of a nature lover who can lead them to a general store he frequents (they then kill him when he finds out too much), and make a call to Honolulu to tell the singer's manager how to leave off the ransom money. McGarrett sends Danno to the cliffs area (Danno used to surf there) to find the paths the kidnappers are using, and himself goes to Kauai and the end of the road to help drop off the ransom.

19Blood Money Is Hard to Wash

A mainland mobster arrives in the Islands planning to buy a semi-pro football team and skim the profits. When his brother, who has lived in Hawaii for some years, warns him that "they do things differently here," the mobster sneers: "This place is just Cleveland with coconuts!" Big mistake. McGarrett puts surveillance people on the mobster's trail and tells them to make the surveillance so obvious that anyone the mobster tries to threaten can just point to the cops and laugh in the mobster's face (sometimes the trackers do it too). The mobster tries to bribe Chin Ho and winds up with a lovely thank-you letter from the charity Chin donated the check to. And on and on and on, until the mobster brings in a hired gun to go after McGarrett, then gets hold of a weapon and tries to finish the job himself. Finally the mobster, having lapsed into diabetic shock and been admitted to McGarrett's hospital, fakes a fire alarm to get into McGarrett's room and shoots his "body" on the bed -- only to have the lights come on and McGarrett (who was propped up in a closet) tell him that Five-O "made" him with one look at his MedicAlert bracelet.

20To Kill a Mind

A year after a Soviet submarine was sunk near Hawaii, pieces of what appear to be key components of the sub's computer begin washing ashore.

Sunny's father has meanwhile arrived in Honolulu and consulted with McGarrett about the connection. With the unlikely help of a Peeping Tom who witnessed the murder with his telescope, they clear Sunny of the murder but can't find her - she ditched the killer and went panhandling on the streets, where the leader of a weird cult found her and offered her refuge in the cult's group home while indoctrinating her. It becomes a race against time and a battle of wills as McGarrett, the cult leader and the murderer all compete to get Sunny under his control.

1Up the Rebels

Stephen Boyd, in his last role (he died three weeks after this episode wrapped filming) plays a member of a Northern Irish splinter terrorist group who disguises himself as a priest in order to buy weapons and bombs in Hawaii. He meets a gullible Catholic United Ireland supporter and uses her as a pawn to finance his buys and witness his murder of the supplier, all the while muttering platitudes in her ear to conceal the fact that his group has been disavowed by the IRA and is dedicated to causing as much mayhem on the Emerald Isle as possible -- such as blowing up a school bus full of children.

2You Don't See Many Pirates These Days

When the first mate of a cargo ship abruptly hijacks his own vessel, leading to the murder of a crew member and several woundings, McGarrett begins to suspect the oily shipping-company boss of possibly ordering the hijacking and apparent subsequent scuttling of the ship to keep its real cargo -- intercontinental ballistic missiles he is selling to the highest bidder -- secret.

3The Cop on the Cover

Over McGarrett's strong objections, the Governor orders him to allow Terri O'Brien, a reporter for a popular new weekly magazine, to shadow him and the other members of Five-O for a story about their organization. As O'Brien follows the developments of the kidnapping of a scientist's two children, she becomes convinced that McGarrett has rushed to judge the culpability of a bus driver accused of the crime.

4The Friends of Joey Kalima

A music-loving rookie cop frequents a record store next to a bank. What he doesn't know is that the music-store owner and two henchman are tunneling into the bank through a shared basement. After one of the thugs is killed in a cave-in, the remaining thieves "invite" the cop to a party where an old friend is busy making book via telephone, and then call HPD to bust the cop on departmental corruption charges to get him out of the way.

5The Descent of the Torches

In a rare episode to delve deeply into native-Hawaiian culture (the last episode for Alvin Sapinsley, the show's most daring writer and perhaps its best), McGarrett and company are called in when an archaeological dig on The Big Island reveals secret tunnels headed underneath the ocean, which could lead to the grave of King Kamehameha I. Or at least somebody believes so, donning a royal robe and mask to frighten off -- and later kill -- two members of the archaeological dig. This is a rare episode in which the killer is not revealed until the end; in fact, McGarrett has to mark the case as unsolved because the killer cannot be brought to justice. (See also "Invitation to a Murder," episode #10.20, from later this season.)

6The Ninth Step

An ex-cop who's a recovering alcoholic returns to Hawaii after a long stint on the mainland in order to make amends to McGarrett (the "ninth step" of Alcoholics Anonymous) -- he was drunk on duty and failed to stop an armored-car heist which led to the theft of a fortune and the death of the car's driver. But McGarrett discovers that the cop's drink was drugged in advance by the thieves and their accomplice (the ex-cop's ex-girlfriend) -- and they are planning still another heist to replace the money, lost in a car explosion at the beginning of the show. When the disgraced cop launches an investigation of his own, he puts his life in grave danger.

7Shake Hands with the Man on the Moon

A crusading journalist is murdered, and McGarrett suspects that the killing was ordered by Frank Devlin, a sleazy real estate developer from the mainland, who was the target of a series of articles by the journalist. McGarrett focuses his attention on Richard Royce, a down-on-his-luck former astronaut who has gone to work for Devlin to help generate interest in Devlin's new Hawaiian subdivision. Royce gradually comes to suspect that Devlin might just have been capable of murder -- especially when another person whose land Devlin wants also ends up dead.

8Deadly Doubles

When a Soviet tennis team visits Hawaii, a young female star decides to defect in order to be with her American boyfriend. What she doesn't know is that just before she made a break for it, one of her teammates brained a KGB man with a wrench over a diamond-smuggling operation, and now both she and her boyfriend are patsies in the murder and face far sterner justice than Hawaii can offer if they are captured.

10Tsunami

A group of geology students known as "The Brain Trust" engineer a fake tsunami warning, which is taken seriously because of memories of a devastating real-life tsunami in the islands. Their motives are to make all of the population of Honolulu run for the hills; then, posing as rescue workers, they will knock over a jewelry store for $6 million in gems. When one of the students, guilt-ridden over injuring a passer-by during the theft of an ambulance, decides to go to Five-O and spill the beans, he is followed to the Iolani Palace and gunned down (with a silenced pistol) within fifty steps of the Five-0 offices -- which sends an irate McGarrett on the trail of the rest of the Brain Trust.

19When Does a War End?

The answer to the title question is never for a fanatic who recently lost his best friend, a Jap-hunter determined to track down the commander of a brutal Philippine prison camp in World War II.
