Killer at Sea**
Original air date: 2/19/74 -- End Credits
At the beginning of the show, one of the deposit slips Vincent Gordon (Keene Curtis) signs has the date of 10 Dec 73. The thug accompanying him (uncredited) has to be the ugliest actor in the entire series. One of the people coming to the kidnapped Gordon's rescue is Hawaiian Congressman Chang, who gets killed. McGarrett's car tires smoke when he skids around a corner on his way to the shooting, and there are stock shots of cop cars. Although there are supposed to be about 600 people on the ocean liner, there doesn't seem to be too many in either the dining room or at the lifeboat drill. John Byner appears as the mundane nightclub comic Duffy Malone. Elena Lewis (Gail Strickland), a feature writer for Transpacific Wire Services, buys McGarrett a bottle of champagne, which he describes as "a friendly ice-breaker at $14 a throw." He asks her why she did this, and she replies, "We're supposed to be the liberated sex." He says, "No, no, honey, I don't buy it ... with your looks, you don't have to give away bubbly." When McGarrett calls the Five-O office from the boat, the number is the familiar 732-5577. At the end where Fallon (William Devane) is escaping up the baggage conveyor, it's obviously not him. The ship is the S.S. Monterey based in San Francisco, presumably owned by Pacific Far East Lines, who are mentioned in the end credits. Peter Leeds appears as Parkins. Les Hutchens sends along an anecdote: "I was with Keene Curtis during the filming of this episode. There was an interesting problem during filming where Mr. Curtis' own suit needed to be 'altered' to make it look as if it had been shot. They had filmed for two days with his suit and now had to put a bullet hole in it. Keene had strong reservations about this so a special effects man sewed some thread into the shoulder, and brushed it with some chalk. The final effect as seen on tv was very effective, and his suit was totally undamaged."
