A solid episode...
planktonrules23 October 2011
The film begins with Don Knight torturing a man with his lit cigar. Apparently, the victim had an artifact in his possession---or HAD one. Once he tells Knight where it is, he is murdered.

When Five-O investigates, they are able to piece together a pattern. Three dealers in antiquities have been murdered in the last several months. And, all three were shot with a Wembly revolver and had been tortured. Over time, they are able to determine that the three all had in their possession, at one time, figures belonging to a great Indian treasure called 'The Cashmiri Ring of Life".

About midway through the episode, Knight has assembled all five pieces of The Ring and he calls a man with the Indian Consulate. Apparently, the government has offered a $1,000,000 reward for its return. But not so fast--lots of twists and double-crosses await in this very solid and interesting show. Good acting, a nice plot and not serious plot holes make this one to see.

By the way, Knight was on "Hawaii Five-O" several times. One of these has a lot of similarities to this one--one about stolen opals. Both are well worth seeing.

Rebound

After a weak episode aired about a little boy who saw a hit man after his rifle shot, Hawaii 5-0 gets back to a more solid story. From 5-0's side, they have the murder of an iffy antiquities dealer.

Of course, 5-0 never provided mysteries. It was a procedural with McGarrett often playing cat and mouse with a criminal who thought he was in control.

Here, Don Knight ... several times a ruthless bad guy on 5-0 ... is collecting ancient figurines worth a million dollars when he puts them all together. And he's doing the collecting by hunting down five separate owners, torturing them until they give up their figurine, and the shooting them.

However, he runs into a snag in Honolulu, as the collector who has the last figurine has plans of his own ...

An interesting episode.
