The Second Shot**
Original air date: 9/30/70
A mundane episode, with John Marley playing Dr. Lemira, "symbol of freedom for the opposition parties" in Greece who's living in exile in Hawaii. Eric Braden is sent to assassinate him, posting as reporter Klaus Marburg. The scheme by which Marburg is himself shot and nearly killed with the intention of sympathetically working his way into Lemira's confidence is interesting, but for most of the show we are just waiting and waiting for the dnouement, with McGarrett predictably saving the day at the last moment. McGarrett is seen driving on the wrong side of the road in a scene seemingly lifted from the previous episode which starred Marley, #23, The Big Kahuna. McGarrett wears some cool sunglasses near the beginning of the show. When McGarrett tells Chin Ho to find the bullet which went through Marburg, Chin protests, "How come I always get stuck with these jobs?" McGarrett replies, "Because you're good at it." McGarrett has to tangle with another Fed, but the confrontation is less intense than usual.
