Hawaii Five-0

McGarret and his team probe a string of killings that mirror the storyline of a 1920s crime novel, navigating the complexities of the case. At the same time, the relationship between Tani and Junior evolves into a significant new phase.

The show titled He kohu puahiohio i ka ho'olele i ka lepo i luna – translated as Like a Whirlwind, Whirling the Dust Upward – is presented as a programme episode and is broadcast as a single episode. It falls within the episode genre, offering a self‑contained narrative within a broader series framework. In this installment, McGarret and his investigative team find themselves drawn into a string of killings that appear to follow the exact outline of a crime novel written in the 1920s. Each murder seems to echo a chapter of the old book, turning the case into a literary‑inspired puzzle for the detectives as they piece together the clues. The detectives must compare the contemporary crime scenes with the fictional plot, using clues from the novel to anticipate the killer’s next move. Their pursuit is complicated by the need to distinguish between artistic coincidence and deliberate imitation, forcing them to scrutinise both historical context and present‑day motives and to prevent further loss of life. Meanwhile, the episode also tracks the evolving bond between Tani and Junior. Their friendship undergoes a significant shift, gaining depth and new meaning as they navigate the unfolding investigation together, and strengthens their resolve. This personal development runs parallel to the main mystery, adding an interpersonal layer to the procedural storyline.
