Hawaii Five-0/WMG
Steve's iPhone has Checkhov's Digital Recording App installed.
In the climactic confrontation at the end of "Oia'i'o," Steve uses his phone to record the Governor's confession that she's tied in to Wo Fat and ordered the murder of Laura Hills. After he's tasered, Wo Fat directs the Governor to hit the "delete" key, then shoots her dead almost immediately. The file's been deleted, but that doesn't mean that a person skilled in computer forensics (like, say, oh, maybe CIA intelligence analyst Jenna Kaye or the newly-reinstated Lt. Chin Ho Kelly of the Honolulu Police Department) can't recover the data and reconstruct the file. We should find out this fall.
- Jossed; nothing was recovered from Steve's phone, but there's new evidence which clears him.
Wo Fat replaced the $10 million the team "borrowed" from the HPD evidence locker for Chin Ho's ransom in "Hana 'a'a Makehewa."
He'll use the threat of exposing the team's unauthorized appropriation to try to blackmail McGarrett and/or expose the "borrowing" to destroy Five-0.
- And is it mere coincidence that Danny's brother Matt was to receive $10 million for the interrupted money-laundering deal in "Loa Aloha"?

Chin Ho: You know what they say about coincidences? |

RESOLVED: In "Ua Hiki Mai Kapalena Pau," we learn that the "missing" serial number list for the cash in the evidence locker isn't missing after all. Then in the Season 1 finale, "Oia'i'o, it is revealed that HPD has found fragments of the cash that Hesse burned and is going to check the readable serial numbers, so it's only a matter of time before they put two and two together. Then, in the climactic confrontation scene that ends Season 1, the Governor tells McGarrett that she replaced the $10 million to protect Five-0--and confesses that she's been working for Wo Fat the whole time! Wo Fat then kills her and makes it look like McGarrett pulled the trigger, leading to his arrest. So, in a sense, Wo Fat does use the missing money to bring down Five-0.
Jenna Kaye is dirty.
Wo Fat has sent her to Five-0 to mislead our guys. Remember when he and McGarrett meet face-to-face for the first time, he threatens to kill her so Steve backs down? No wonder that works so well. CONFIRMED: The Season 2 pilot shows her driving Wo Fat away after the latter clears up a loose end.
Kono is The Mole
Internal Affairs recruited her to infiltrate the dirty cop organization. That's why her removal from the force was made so public and so devastating; to make the bad guys think she was the end of her rope and ready to join them. CONFIRMED: In "Maʻemaʻe", it was revealed that Kono was working for Captain Fryer, who was looking to take down his former partner's money-laundering operation.
Danno is an atheist.
In Ka Iwi Kapu, Danno trespasses onto ancient Hawaiian burial grounds. While this may leave room for him following a religion, he responds to Steve telling him off with "I only believe what is in front of my face, and sometimes not even then."
"Shelburne" is Gamera
Consider the evidence:
- "Shelburne" has something to do with the Yakuza, so he must be from Japan. Gamera is from Japan.
- The name fits. Gamera has a shell, and he burns things.
- Wo Fat fears "Shelburne." A fire-breathing turtle the size of a federal courthouse? Who wouldn't be afraid of that?
- JOSSED: Shelburne is an alias that Joe White shared with Steve's father.
- And in addition to that, McGarret's mother
