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.
