Hawaii Five-0 - Olelo Pa'a

McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and Catherine (Michelle Borth) head to the North Korean border to complete a prisoner exchange and retrieve the remains off an old friend (Alan Ritchson) which leads McGarrett to think back on his SEAL training and share with Catherine the story of his final two-man mission with the SEALs to stop an arms deal between the Antoine Hesse (Norman Reedus) and the leader of terrorist organization known as Dark Sun in North Korea. That story helps explain the reason why McGarrett believes the body in the pine box can’t be those of his fallen comrade and why he’s dead-set on not leaving without the real remains of his friend.

Hawaii Five-0 - Hoa Pili

Five-0 looks into vandalism, arson, and a series of death threats sent to a company whose shark tours are endangering the local shark population. After the third boat of the tour’s fleet is burned three miles offshore, McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and Danny (Scott Caan) head out in search of the boat’s sunken shark cage still holding the body of the owner’s brother. Five-0 searches for the murderer who they are pretty sure the victim managed to wound with a bang stick (an underwater buckshot shotgun used against sharks) as well as investigating the local Kapu surfer gang who attacked the victim a week before his death when the tour began encroaching on their territory and pushing the sharks further inland.
