1.17 - Powa Maka Moana (Pirate)

[Clare]

Summary: ­Our Five-0 team's latest case hits home for McGarrett whose personal experience with a loved one held hostage pushes him even harder to rescue twelve vacationing college students abducted and held for ransom, apparently by local Tongon pirates.
Upon finding the boat, they discover the ship’s captain and one of the pirates dead, and the lone survivor, Susan, a deck hand, still on board.
Kamekona helps them discover the pawn shop that fences for the Tongan pirates and the owner gives us their location. Turns out the pirates were set up as the kidnappers and have an alibi for the kidnapping.
One of the kidnapped kids gets killed but a slip-up by one of the kidnappers leads McGarrett and the team to successfully apprehend the kidnappers, including willing participant, Susan, and her fiancée, Tyler.­

Ok, maybe it's just me but the minute I saw Nick Lachey I knew he was a bag guy. Call it woman's intuition, call it plan old suspicion, but I knew, so I was hardly surprised by the end... but I did love the jump through the window at the back of the bus stunt McGarrett does in order to stop him escaping... although it's tainted a little by knowing Alex didn't actually do the stunt himself because I'm pretty sure, had he been allowed, he would've done it. But our actors are a protected commodity, and I prefer that Alex not be hurt doing crazy sh*t like that - so... nevermind. LOL.

Three words: Tongan. Pirate. Zombies.

Hilarious!!!! I'm still laughing, week later. ;D

And the pawn shop scene? When did Steve start carrying a hand grenade in DANNY's car? Did Danny know???

I loved the pawn shop scene. And Danny's reaction was priceless. I did like it when McGarrett says "I'll be back" and Danny says that he's had better comebacks. LOL.
