The task force knew they were being investigated on tonight’s episode of “Hawaii 5-0”, but they didn’t know if the federal prosecutor that was in charge of the investigation was doing so because he believed he had a case or if it was just a vendetta?
Apparently the prosecutor’s name was Robert Coughlin and the late Rex Coughlin had been his brother. So that called Robert’s actions with 5-0 into question. For his brother had also made it his mission in life to take down Chin and his organization. And that had led to Rex cutting so many corners that eventually his own informant against them, killed him.
Only, Abby hadn’t known about Rex. She had merely been informed, when she accepted to be informant that would spy on the 5-0, that the task force has crossed too many lines in the past and that they could do so again at any moment. Thus Abby had believed herself to be in the right with her own secret investigation because her logic told her that the guys had nothing to worry about if they continued to tow the line.
But, once she learned about Rex and his history with the 5-0, she questioned if could be on the wrong side of things and needed some reassurances before she could continue. So she called Robert to meet her in some secluded area. And there she asked what her real mission was.
Meaning she didn’t want to accuse him of carrying out a witch hunt with her as the main prop. Though it was looking that way and so she needed to know the specifics behind the Robert’s investigation. And, when he refused to give anything that wasn’t remotely vague, she told him that if he couldn’t trust her with the answers then maybe he should pull her out.
However, Robert didn’t want to pull her away from her mission. It seems that he’s had people following her from day one and therefore he knew when things had gotten to be personal for her. And yet he still wanted to keep her around for some strange reason even if meant forcing her to take orders.
So Abby did have to continue to spy on her friends and while she hadn’t liked it – she paid close attention when they got their latest case. A young man that had allegedly walked into heavy traffic had been taken to the emergency room where both he and the medical team treating him were all executed by a young woman pretending to be his surgeon. Though truthfully she had knocked out the real surgeon and had gone into that operating room to steal a USB that the victim had implanted in his skin.
And so to find out what this woman stole, the task force first had to make Dr. Yang cooperate. Dr. Yang was a surgeon and it’s a common secret that he’s willing to operate on just about anyone for the right price. Thus their victim, Tommy Luana, must have gone to him.
Yet, Dr. Yang was a stickler. He didn’t want answer any questions until he knew that he wouldn’t be arrested and that word around town wouldn’t name as a narc. So it’s safe to say that Yang made sure he was covered from all angles. And once the 5-0 agreed to that, he gave them information.
Such as the USB he had implanted as well as the fact Tommy Luana had paid him in cash even though Yang doesn’t come cheap. But according to Yang, Tommy hadn’t come in alone and so they traced Tommy’s “friend” back to a nerdy government contractor who just happens to be dating a young woman that matched a certain assassin’s criteria. And therefore the guys knew that Chris Dalton was involved in everything.
Only Dalton had escaped by time they had showed up at his work. Apparently Dalton’s bosses had found out that he had stolen something from and they locked in a room to be questioned, but then 5-0 showed up. And that distracted Dalton’s bosses just long enough for him to go out a window.
Although, later his employers were finally able to reveal just what was on that flash drive. It turns out that Dalton’s company handled classified information for the NSA and so the team was no longer looking for just murderers. They were also hunting spies.
And the one person that didn’t know Dalton was turned into a spy by his lovely Russian girlfriend, had been Dalton himself.
When 5-0 were finally able to catch up to him, Dalton was interrogated and he told McGarrett that he loved his country which why he had stolen files from the NSA in the first place. He wanted to use those files as a way to stop the NSA from continuing to spy on their own people.
Yet his girlfriend Anna wasn’t the patriot that Dalton thought she was. For one, 5-0 had to tell him that she wasn’t from Seattle and that she was using him to get her hands on those files. All so that Russia can use them to find operatives all over the world.
But most of the operatives were taken to safety following Dalton’s maneuver and the only ones still at risk had been those hadn’t gotten in touch with their handler. Like McGarrett’s Catherine for instance. Who he found out was Kiev when the government chose to inform about her whereabouts.
So McGarrett threatened Dalton until he revealed that USB had been encrypted and that he was only the one that could get sort of information off of that USB. And unfortunately Anna knew that as well because she drugged the entire palace to get her hands on Dalton.
And she would have killed him not long after he gave her what she needed if McGarrett hadn’t used some unconventional methods to find her. Thus there was a reason Abby decided to tell Chin what she really doing in Hawaii and it could be because she had recently reported McGarrett for shooting man in police custody. Even though it had been for the CIA.
THE END!
