Before I submitted my vote, this episode had an inexplicably low score of 4.7--tremendously low for the series. On the other hand, it was based on only 7 votes--so don't be quick to dismiss this one.
The show begins with a group of men breaking into the estate of an arms merchant and kidnapping his wife. To do this seems crazy, as an arms dealer (even a legal one like this) would probably be armed to the teeth. Oddly, the man does NOT report it to the police, but there is now a dead man in the yard--apparently shot in the ordeal. McGarrett isn't content when the man insists that although his wife has been kidnapped but he won't cooperate with the police! So, he bugs the place until he learns that the woman was apparently kidnapped by terrorists who are fighting against one of the man's clients! And, instead of delivering the arms to this government, they want the arms for themselves.
While not a great episode, it had several decent plot twists that kept you guessing. Because the plot is unusual and isn't just some regurgitated show, it's worth seeing--even if the plot seems, at times, a bit far-fetched.
