I have to say that I always have loved this episode.
In fact despite the technological superiority that shadowy crime syndicate "Mercury" displayed in construction of a circa 1945 era atomic bomb they pretty much demonstrated why no city has ever been hit by nuclear terror.
The plot basically is that mysterious and well-funded gangsters have a nuclear bomb factory somewhere in Honolulu- and will deliver the destructive device by moving van. Yes- you heard me right- an atomic bomb delivered by diesel.
The plot hinges on the watchman for the building at ground-zero signing for a five-ton parcel, which is emanating a loud ticking noise- on a Saturday no less. I bet that HE got fired.
There is a subplot about a radiological test which kills the bomb designer- and Danno giving the order to blow up a plane carrying a hundred million dollars- which is all the money in the West Coast- in cash. I certainly hope that McGarrett wrote down the serial numbers for all those bills.
Now if a nuke could just be made that fits in a suitcase....................................
