Up until the last minute or so of the show, I would have scored this one a 6. But, the last minute...ugggh! See the show and see what I mean.
Some nut is blowing up various companies owned by Mr. Muromoto. And, oddly, they are using WWII vintage supplies--like land mines and grenades! Muromoto is very tight-lipped and McGarrett thinks there's more to the story.
The theme in this show is a bit familiar to folks who have seen a bunch of episodes of the series. An American who THINKS they have identified a Japanese war criminal living under an assumed identity has been used at least three times on "Hawaii Five-O". In season one they used this theme in "Samurai" (with, of all people, Ricardo Montalban playing a Japanese man!!) as well as in the episode "The Reunion". However, it hadn't been used in a while--so I could forgive this. What I had trouble with was how near the very end there was a surprise twist--a totally unnecessary surprise twist. Then, following the apprehension of the criminals, McGarrett begins pontificating about hate and world peace--and the show really lost me!
