Killer Bee**1/2
Original air date: 1/21/70
This show focuses on the efforts of "psychiatric technician" George Loomis (David Arkin) to drive his fellow Vietnam vet Ted Frazer (Jeff Pomerantz) crazy, since the latter witnessed Loomis massacring his platoon during a combat action. Loomis is kidnapping young boys, trying to put the blame on Frazer, while keeping Frazer constantly doped up and haranguing him about his mother (Doreen Lang), with whom relations are strained, to put it mildly. Loomis's boss, Dr. Wong (Chapman Lam), who's aware of Ted's case, spouts off an amazing amount of psychological mumbo-jumbo and phrases like "acute psychotic breakdown," "schizophrenic," and "state of catatonic stupor" are heard in abundance. McGarrett sends the Five-O team out to investigate, telling Kono to "check every pharmacy on the island" for chloroform, used by the kidnappers (apparently you could buy this without a prescription). McGarrett asks Chin Ho: "How are your corns?" to which Chin replies, "Killing me, boss." McGarrett encounters George in the hospital, and tries to get a rise out of him by yelling, "What did you do to earn those medals, George? Did you make a sweep of some gook-infested hill" while Dr. Wong is standing right beside the two of them! There's a great scene where George falls over a wheelchair being pushed by a nurse while he is trying to escape. Doug Mossman appears as Daniels. Interestingly, of the two families whose sons are kidnapped, the white Emory family is fully mentioned in the end credits, but the Chinese Wing family is totally ignored!
---------------------------------------------
Ein zunchst verwirrender Fall fr McGarrett und seine Mnner von "Hawaii 5 - 0": Sie mssen sich mit einigen komplizierten Fllen von Kindesentfhrung beschftigen. Zwar wird schlielich einer Mutter auch eine Lsegeldforderung berbracht, aber bald stellt sich heraus, dass dies nur Nebensache ist: Der Tter scheint etwas ganz anderes zu bezwecken. Tatschlich geht es ihm vielmehr darum, ein lange zurckliegendes Verbrechen whrend des Vietnamkrieges zu vertuschen.
