- Surfers Henry Ford, Freddy Pfhaler, Kemp Aaberg, Del Cannon, and Dick Thomas decide to leave California so they can embark on a dream trip to Hawaii. While in Hawaii the carefree quintet ride all kinds of waves at various top Hawaiian surfing spots and live together in a rundown shack on the North Shore of Oahu on only a hundred dollars a day.
- Al Harrington's first episode as Ben also introduces Duke Lukela and John Manicote as semi-regulars. Manicote launches an investigation of Five-O when Duke, an HPD sergeant who sometimes joins Five-O on investigations, is accused of being on the take. McGarrett does what would be now called an intensive database search, with numerous records on all Five-O team members transferred to projection slides and put up on the screen (if you can freeze-frame or slow your player to catch all of them, there is a wealth of information on the characters -- including McGarrett's birthday, which is in the wrong month!). Convinced that Duke was set up by someone, McGarrett repeats the process with members of Manicote's office and finds that one of the Assistant District Attorneys is a mole planted long before by the mob to discredit the office. Guest star Michael Ansara, playing the mob boss, forsakes his toupee (he's shown swimming) and is very bald.
- 1968–198051mNot Rated7.6 (207)TV EpisodeIn 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.
- Greggs, a land developer, has a zoning man, Huffman, in his pocket. As Huffman has started offering his services to other developers, 5-0 has built a case against him. Greggs, knowing that Huffman will turn on him to save himself, calls him telling him to meet him. Greggs sends one of his men, Koa, to kill Huffman. Koa was about to leave when a car drives off. A filmmaker had seen Huffman's car and taken the dead man's wallet but dropped one of his film cans. Koa finds it and gives it to Greggs, who has it developed and sees that it is footage of the area near the murder. He sends one of his men to find the filmmaker based on the info from the dropped film can. McGarrett, on learning of Huffman's death, investigates. He sends Danny Williams to pick him up but Koa resists. Koa is arrested for assaulting Danny. While trying to gather more evidence, the Five-0 learn that the late Huffman's credit cards are being used so they try to find the ones using them, the filmmaker and his buddy, before the two young men are killed.
- To the horror of workers at a construction site, the truck of sand they are unloading contains Danny Williams in the back, unconscious and just moments away from having smothered to death. Danny awakens, but can't remember anything about how he got there. McGarrett grills the sand-truck driver, but eventually abandons him as a dead end. The only other way Danny could have gotten into the dump truck was to jump in from a height as the truck passed below him. Danny remembers he was going horseback riding on his day off, so the Five-O team heads out to a ranch that rents horses for pleasure rides. Eventually they find the body of the horse he was riding, shot multiple times and leaving a long trail of blood. That means Danny was fleeing from gunmen and made his leap as a last resort. But what did he see that made the gunmen chase him. The answer turns out to be a literal suicide bomber, the ranch owner, who is getting revenge on a Chinese visitor by having a bomb-laden boat (with mannequins at the helm, which is what Danny saw being loaded into a truck headed for the harbor) "steering" it by remote control straight into the man's yacht with the dignitaries aboard. (Presumably the thugs got paid in advance). McGarrett and the Five-O crew must race the clock to destroy the bombers' boat before it can complete the madman's mission.
