The Grandstand Play****
Original air date: 3/3/71
A surprisingly good episode, with Pernell Roberts playing baseball player Lon Phillips who abandons the big leagues to bring his "slow" son Gary (Elliot Street, in the first of two "developmentally challenged" Five-O roles) to supposedly safer Hawaii. The "memories" theme makes an appearance when the two engage in arm-wrestling, and Lon says "we're gonna make it here." A shot of people playing tennis is taken from Beautiful Screamer. A newspaper headline -- "woman socialite slain at stadium" -- is in lower case letters as are the subheadings (rather unusual style). One of the murder witnesses, a hot dog vendor is said to notice "good-looking chicks." In one scene, McGarrett enters his car through the passenger side and slides over to the steering wheel. A stock shot of the palace is rather scratchy. When the bad guy, Lou Horton (Don Chastain), visits Lon's apartment, Ed Fernandez as the apartment manager appears and asks if he can be of assistance. Horton asks for "Mr. Johnson," and Fernandez says there is no one by that name staying there. But later when Fernandez meets Lon, he addresses him as "Mr. Johnson," presumably trying to be funny or something. A good fight at the end. The music for part one is stock, part two is Richard Shores.

Emily Workman wird whrend ihres Besuches bei einem Baseballspiel ermordet. Der Sohn des Baseballstars Lon Philips, Gary Philips, hat als Letzter mit ihr gesprochen, was er der Polizei jedoch verschweigt. Unter dringenden Mordverdacht gert schlielich Lester Workman, der Ex-Mann Emilys. Gary, der sich versteckt hat, wird von der Polizei als Zeuge verzweifelt gesucht - und vom Mrder, der den Augenzeugen beseitigen will. Dem Team von "Hawaii 5 - 0" bleibt nicht viel Zeit.
