73. Pltzlich, zehn Jahre danach

Highest Castle, Deepest Grave ****
Original air date: 9/14/71

An outstanding episode with an especially good script and powerhouse acting by Herbert Lom as the philanthropic industrialist Mondrago, the babely France Nuyen as his daughter Sirone and Jeff Corey as painter Andrew Duncan (not to mention Jack Lord). Morton Stevens' lyrical theme connected with the alluring painting of Mondrago's wife is also a plus. McGarrett appears in a Hawaiian shirt at the beginning. There is overlapping dialog during the main credits and the Five-O main theme appears in a different arrangement for the first time. "William" Edwards appears briefly as Doctor Ventnor, whose car (licence number 9C-3322) blows up in spectacular fashion. Duncan says that Mondrago's wife wasn't one of those "country club broads." Herman "Duke" Wedemeyer is a judge at an exhumation inquiry. A newspaper shows part of a headline -- "moon landing" which is in lower case type (see #71/72). Wilfred (later Moe) Keale appears as Mondrago's brusque servant Akea who engages in some interesting karate moves with McGarrett near the end of the show.

Bei der Identifizierung der Leichen stoen die Mnner von "Hawaii 5 - 0" auf eine Merkwrdigkeit: Die Frau ist offiziell eines natrlichen Todes gestorben. McGarrett und sein Team sehen sich die Vorgeschichte des Todesfalls genauer an - und erleben eine berraschung.
