This episode of "Hawaii Five-O" features a guest appearance by Milton Seltzer--one of the most recognizable actors from the 1960s and 70s but whose name few would remember. He had played in a few previous episodes of the series, but here he was not a bit actor but the most importance guest on the show. If you look at his IMDb entry, it's impressive--he guest starred in at least 1830340123491 different shows during this era.
The show begins with a travel agent being beaten to death. It was intended as a warning to the agent's partner (Seltzer)--a man who organizes junkets to Vegas and South Korea for gamblers. Meantime, a client of Seltzer loses $120,000 and the mob-backed casino owner is ready to kill Seltzer if he doesn't manage to get the guy to pay for his notes--and so far, the jerk refuses. So, now the mob in Hawaii AND South Korea are gunning for Seltzer and he goes to Five-O for help. Where it all goes after that is filled with TONS of surprises--so many that I will say no more, as I don't want to spoil it for you.
Well-written, interesting and filled with great twists, this is an excellent episode of an excellent series. Watch it.
