Most Likely to Murder****
Original air date: 2/11/70
A powerhouse episode, with Tom Skerritt as Lew Morgan, a cop whose wife is murdered. Dannois a long-time friend of both, and events test Danno's loyalty to both Lew and Five-O. Danno gets very emotional during this show -- one of James MacArthur's best performances. We get to see inside Danno's apartment, where he has a bar. He says he will make Lew a "wild Spanish omelet," and drinks a beer. Chin Ho smokes a pipe in McGarrett's office -- compare this with episode #175, The Defector, where such pollution is a no-no. When Danno issues an APB after the main suspect Gary Oliver (Sam Melville) escapes, the footage of the cop car approaching the Royal Hawaiian Bank is an out-take from #36 -- you can even see Beverlee McKinsey coming out of the building! The scene where a cop car enters a street and backs up and another where a cop car rounds a corner by a church are also cribbed from #36. When hot babe and Oliver's former girlfriend Gloria Warren (Linda Ryan) visits the Five-O office, McGarrett tells his receptionist "Thank you, Jenny," meaning "Get lost!" Gloria gets flirty with McGarrett, and on the way out gives her phone number to Jenny -- 737-7913. When Warren leaves, Kono is salivating, and he tells the curious McGarrett he was "just watching for the mailman." Later Gloria is seen running around in a slip and necking heavily with Oliver (there is a freeze frame during their kiss). Another witness, Mrs. Shivley (Alice Lemon) comes to the Five-O office where she tells Chin Ho, "You don't look Irish!" Arthur Hee appears uncredited as a servant, Lanikai is Lonnie (it sounds like "Lonnie Kaikili"), one of Lew's wife's boyfriends. He drives a Mustang with license number W-3470. The "memories" musical theme is used effectively. This is an unusually tense show, no doubt thanks to the extraordinary number of closeups. The tragic ending has the focus on Danno instead of McGarrett for a change. The music suffers a momentary lapse (rather banal under the circumstances) into the usual big climax as the final act comes to a close.
-------------------------------------------
Whrend der Streifenpolizist Lew Morgan seine Runden dreht, wird seine Frau ermordet. Die Mnner von "Hawaii 5 - 0" bernehmen den Fall. Bei seinen Nachforschungen stellt McGarrett fest, dass die Frau zahllose Liebhaber hatte. Hauptverdchtiger fr den Mord ist der vorbestrafte Oliver, den Lew Morgan rasend vor Zorn prompt erschiet. Aber was zunchst wie eine Affekthandlung aussah, entpuppt sich bald als vorstzlicher Mord. Fr McGarrett beginnt der Fall erst.
