The Flip Side is Death***
Original air date: 12/18/73
McGarrett spends most of this episode at the office in Honolulu while the Five-O Team investigate a bank robbery at Kahuku on the north of Oahu. After the bank robbers cut through iron bars with a special orthopedic saw, McGarrett tells Ben to "check the medical supply houses and hospital supply departments." The case could have been solved when the cop on the roadblock checked the 8-track tapes in the pineapple truck (license number B6-398). One of them is Santana's Abraxas with a "Walker Music Company" sticker on it, suggesting a bootleg! When the police computer can't come up with a suspect from the hotel's guest list, McGarrett tells the computer operator, "It's got the Iron Brain stumped." A woman screams -- probably one of the loudest screams in the entire series -- when the hotel elevator opens, revealing the body of Lou Pahia (Frank Liu) . The body is removed in a Physician's Ambulance. The score is allegedly by Ray, but the music in the first half of the show is almost all from #121, Hookman, by Morton Stevens. Several shots are repeated -- the closeup of the hands stuffing the money in the 8-track cartridges, the label on the box of tapes (the address is Art Walker, P.O. Box 3352, Los Angeles), and a black cop car racing past a roadblock. When Danno checks a tape in the pineapple truck near the end (which results in a brainstorm as to the "gimmick" in the case), the contents of the tape are as follows: 1 -- New Morning, The Man in Me, Father of Night; 2 -- If Not For You, Day of the Locusts, Winterlude; 3 -- Time Passes Slowly, Went to See the Gypsy, Sign on the Window; 4 -- If Dogs Run Free; One More Weekend, Three Angels. These contents are identical to Bob Dylan's "New Morning" and if you look closely when Danno knocks the tape on the dashboard you can see Dylan's face on the cover and the title on the flip side as well (this latter info is not visible in the frame when the contents are displayed). Thanks to Dan Stomierosky for pointing out the info about Dylan.

Musikproduzent Walker war in letzter Zeit nicht besonders erfolgreich: Seine Produktionen erwiesen sich alle als Flops. Deshalb kostet es den Ex-Hftling Green nur wenig berzeugungskraft, den erfolglosen Musikproduzenten zu einem Coup zu berreden. Nach einem Bankberfall knnen die beiden mit ihrer Beute, die in Walkers Musikcassetten versteckt ist, entkommen. Whrend sich die Gangster gegenseitig in die Haare kriegen, findet McGarrett einen wichtigen Hinweis.
