Run, Johnny, Run**** Original air date: 1/14/70
AWOL sailor John Mala (Nephi Hanneman) seemingly shoots an MP, but McGarrett -- who helped Mala in the past -- refuses to accept this as an "open and shut case." Christopher Walken gives an exceptional performance as Walt Kramer, the shot MP's buddy. McGarrett has to quell tensions between the navy and the local community -- when sailors bust heads while searching for the escaped Mala, McGarrett tells their commander, "Your boys almost started a riot ... a race riot," and suggests the navy better watch it when "pushing 'my people' around." Kramer tells McGarrett, "You appointed yourself Big White Daddy to John Mala," and later says "You're trying to get your Kanaka boy off the hook." There's a comic scene when Kono and Chin Ho are trying to figure out the trajectory of the fatal bullet. Kono points his gun at Chin who freaks, asking if the gun is loaded. Kono replies, "Sure it's loaded!" Effective camera work and music ("stock") during a knock-down fight between McGarrett and Mala. McGarrett spends the last part of the show looking very bruised. A closeup shows that Jack Lord had very hairy hands! Overall, an excellent episode.
