Storyline

Danny looks forward to 6 hours of Christmas cheer with his daughter, despite a crappy tree. Alex however faces the gate of hell when yakuza contacts lead to the conclusion his father's murder, Victor Hesse, must be alive, having murdered a rival arms dealer. Chin feels the flames when collared with a radio-controlled explosive device as the governor refuses to negotiate, let alone pay Hesse $10,000, ransom in mere hours. The team is reduced to 'borrowing' the cash from an underground evidence room. Hesse however has another hellish surprise in store, and reports to an even darker fiend.

User Reviews

...And Mazel Tov, Too ***

Mazel Tov to Christmas-playing Santa, Scott Caan, for his best supporting Golden Globe nomination as Danno, in this hit series.

Our Asian police officer is strapped with a bomb, thanks to the guy who killed Steve's father. We thought he was dead, but he resurfaces with more mayhem on his mind.

Our Hawaiian governor refuses to negotiate with terrorists, so suddenly our Asian officer knows how to get his hands on $10 million of drug money. Where this money came from is not exactly explained fully.

Even though our terrorist is behind bars at the end of today's segment, he still has plenty on his mind. Watch out Steve.
