Savage Sunday**1/2
Original air date: 10/22/69
This show, the first directed by Reza S. Badiyi who designed the main title, starts out on the beach where Danno and Kono have just finished surfing. A passing cop makes some cracks about Kono's size, wondering if he needs just one surfboard. (Kono is later abused about his girth by both Danno and Chin Ho in the Five-O office in a scene which is not particularly amusing.) The action quickly jumps to the 72nd Battalion Armory, where Henry Silva as revolutionary leader Elpidio Acuna leads several of his followers as they break in and steal rifles -- "the guns we need for the revolution." In doing so, they overpower a guard, played by Beau Vanden Ecker. Acuna, who has "lived in the shadow of the noose for five years," is from some mysterious country 3500 miles away from Hawaii, where many of his countrymen now reside. McGarrett, dressed casually in white, drops down through the roof during a terrific gun battle, and wounds Acuna after his cohorts escape. There is an interesting dialogue later between the two in the hospital where John Stalker plays a doctor. McGarrett tells Acuna, "I'm gonna close this island tight as a rock." The Honolulu Advertiser with the headline Guerrilla Chieftain Captured at Armory has a subhead on the article which looks like "Barlow Nixed for Police Post." Other headlines on the page include "Moon Orbit Today for Apollo 10" and "Nixon, Thieu Face Moment of Truth." McGarrett uses his transparent map. When McGarrett asks Chin Ho for an estimate of how far the revolutionaries have gotten, Chin says, "I haven't got my abacus with me." McGarrett is predictably annoyed when Acuna escapes from the hospital. When Consul Vallios (Wright Esser) from Acuna's country visits McGarrett, describing Acuna as a "mad dog" and suggesting they should not track the revolutionary down, since he will probably die from his wounds, McGarrett fries the consul with several profound statements about democracy and the American way of justice. The music by Don Ray has some mediocre moments during the break-in at the armory and the final police chase to the docks. At the end, when Acuna's wife Maria (Julie Gregg) tells her husband she is going to have a baby, he asks "A son?" Maria thanks McGarrett for not killing her husband. McGarrett says "We don't like to kill, the decision was easy." A phone number on the revolutionaries' truck has only 6 digits: 898571. Ed Fernandez plays Colonel Tosaki. A shot of a cop car passing a church near the beginning of the show will be used in several subsequent episodes.
-------------------------------------------------
Ausgerechnet am freien Tag der Mnner von "Hawaii 5 - 0" berfllt der Guerillakmpfer Elpidio mit seinen Mnnern ein Militrlager. Dabei wird Elpidio angeschossen und anschlieend in einem Krankenhaus versorgt. Nach seiner gewaltsamen Befreiung riegelt die Mannschaft von "5 - 0" die Insel ab. Die Guerilleros werden am Hafen gestellt - aber Elpidio ergibt sich erst, als er eine fr ihn ganz besondere Nachricht erhlt.
