Summary:
 “Oia’i’o*” – When Five-0 gets too close to the truth about Wo Fat and his associates, the criminal mastermind retaliates by trying to destroy the team.  They’ve always played by their own rules, but when the Governor can no longer protect them, it’s time for Five-0 to pay the consequences of their actions.

*”Oia’i’o*” is Hawaiian for “Trust.”

Trivia:
  • Shooting for this episode – and season 1 – wrapped in the early hours of April 15.
  • The warrant for McGarrett’s arrest is for “premeditated assassination/murder 1.” It comes with the warning: “Commander McGarrett has training as a Navy SEAL and is to be considered a lethal weapon.”
  • It’s the first time that we see McGarrett’s first name spelled with a “v”. In earlier drafts of the teleplay for the pilot, it was spelled “Stephen”.
  • According to the warrant, McGarrett is 6’1″ tall and weighs 190 lbs. His date of birth is March 10, 1977, which would make him over a year younger than Alex O’Loughlin.
  • Music tracks: Hawaiian Wedding Song (Elvis Presley), Girls Got Rhythm (AC/DC).
Memorable Quotes:
Danny:
[To Rachel] The King’s hair game was flawless. I mean: amazing. Look at that suit. White shirt, white pants, a red lei. Two people on earth could pull that off, okay, I’m the other one. Just so you know.

Chin Ho:
[To Chief Mahaka] I truly appreciate the offer, Sir. But we’re doing great work at Five-0. That’s my home now.

Steve:
Are you gonna ask her out?
Chin Ho:
Who, Miss Hills?
Steve:
No, the Governor. Who do you think? Every time we see her she’s just sexting you with her eyes.
+++

Danny:
[To Steve, in the army dump store] Well, I hope you like it. This is what it’s gonna look like when you die, this is your heaven.
+++

Danny:
You want anything while we’re here? A new ammo belt, night vision goggles? Ooh, powdered eggs.
Steve:
Let me tell you something, I’ll take powdered eggs over your eggs any day.
Danny:
You love my eggs.
Steve:
They’re terrible, Daniel.

Steve:
[To his team] The rest of you are forgetting that Five-0 is not a democracy, it’s a benevolent dictatorship. Got it?
+++
+++
Danny:
What the hell is the matter with you?
Steve:
Would it kill you to knock on this door just once?
Danny:
Do I ever knock on that door? Why? What’s with the ambush? Why are you dressed like a ninja? What are you doing?

Jenna:
That’s crazy.
Danny:
Welcome to my world.
Jenna:
I like it. What do we do now?
