Nightmare Road**
Original air date: 2/18/70 -- Opening Credits -- End Credits
Charles Aidman gives a deadpan performance as Royce, a research scientist whose specialty is "hydraulics and chemical detection" who's set up by revolutionaries from some mysterious country and convinced to leave Hawaii with them by submarine. Royce has developed a device which can detect metal in water called NOSE (Nautical Observation of Submerged Enemy). McGarrett finds himself again competing with federal agents under the direction of the pushy Merrill Carson (Fred Beir). Carson's men punch out Kono who's on surveillance (we learn Kono's last name in this scene from his business card -- Kalakaua -- which also has the Five-O office number: 732-5577). Kono later appears in the Five-O office with a bandage on his hair (ouch!). Kono says "It hurts only when I think about it. I think about it a lot." McGarrett expresses his disgust to Carson over this incident, saying "Just remember, this is Hawaii, the fiftieth state ... it is not Cuba, or the Dominican Republic or Vietnam or Laos ... you dig?" When Royce phones Five-O, McGarrett tells Danno to trace the call without putting the call on hold, and Danno gives the phone company instructions in a loud and obvious voice. (The pay phone number -- 287-1299 -- is the same used in episode #37.) McGarrett is far too clever in this episode. He figures out that a gun used to set up Royce with a phony shooting at the beginning of the show was held by a pair of pliers, and also locates where Royce is being held based on the sound of a pile driver in the background noise during Royce's phone call. There are some serious continuity problems as the Five-O team attempt to follow the revolutionaries on the way to the submarine. McGarrett radios to Chin Ho, and the call is taken by Kono, who not only has no bandage on his hair, but wears a darker suit (he was wearing a light grey one in the office) and seems to be answering with Chin Ho's voice. (Furthermore, Kono answers McGarrett by saying, "Got it, Steve." Kono would be more likely to address McGarrett as "Boss.") In the next scene at the beach, Kono again has no bandage, and is wearing the light grey suit again. The "memories" theme is heard at the end after Royce fishes his murdered girl friend (the attractive Pilar Seurat) out of the ocean. There's a few laughs earlier on when Chin Ho asks McGarrett what "cherchez la femme" means. We also learn that Danno made jewellery when he was a kid. Daniel Kamekona, who usually plays cops, appears unbilled as one of the revolutionaries. When Seurat's character, Theresa Dietrich, receives a letter from the Immigration and Naturalization Service, it is signed by "James Heinz" -- an in-joke referring to the episode's associate producer. This letter is addressed to her at 2120 Kaneheohe Drive, not a real address.
