139. Hass und Gift

Death with Father***1/2
Original air date: 1/22/74

During the opening drug raid, McGarrett says he was in Marseille the year before where the Surt showed him a drug "factory." Ernie Fallon (Richard Rivera), who is wounded during the raid, has the number 53984 on his police mug shot -- the date is 9/25/73. "Doctor Freeman" is paged in the hospital. Duke freaks out after a cop lets an assassin into Fallon's hospital room. Kwan Hi Lim plays the slimy druglord Lee Song, who smokes in a weird upside-down manner reminiscent of Laugh-In's Arte Johnson. Seth Sakai is his assistant, Luu Se Ngu. When Ben tails suspect Tom Morgan (Peter Strauss), it's in the usual Five-O manner and the photos Ben takes of Tom meeting the two dopelords at the War Memorial Natatorium are at the usual wrong angles. Danny refers to "[qual]ludes" when he finds Tom's girl friend Janice Wong (Luella Costello) OD'd at her apartment (211-275 Pele St.). When Danny is accompanying her to the hospital in the ambulance, there is a peculiar insert edit. When Tom's father, former treasury agent Cliff Morgan (Andrew Duggan) is breaking into the police evidence room (far too easily), the score by Stevens reverts to that composer's music from "Hookman." Duke puts his hand on Danno's knee during the final surveillance. The ending of this episode is very disturbing. Tom turns on the propane tank while talking to his father and then ignites it and the latter does nothing to stop him. The first Five-O episode directed by Jack Lord.
