'''''Hawaii Five-0''''' (with a zero) is a [[The Remake|re-imagining]] of the 1968-1980 series ''[[Hawaii Five
Starring Alex O'Loughlin (Steve McGarret), Scott Caan (Danny Williams), Grace Park (Kono Kalakaua), Daniel Dae Kim (Chin Ho Kelly), Jean Smart (Governor Pat Jameson) and Masi Oka (Max Bergman). In the new setting, McGarrett is a Navy SEAL whose father is murdered by an international terrorist he had been tracking, triggering the formation of what becomes the Five-0 unit, a special police force that operates above the normal state jurisdictions.
Put character tropes in the [[Hawaii Five
----
=== ''Hawaii Five-0'' provides examples of the following tropes: ===
Line 25:
'''Danno:''' I dare you to tell me what he just said. }}
** Danno has a very strong [[Joisey]] accent, which is pretty accurate for the region he claims to be from.
* [[Anti
** SWO2 Graham Wilson, the SEAL with PTSD in "Ho'apono."
** The bad guy in "Loa Aloha" is quite sympathetic at the end.
Line 43:
** In "I Helu Pu," we learn that Danny knows a few Russian phrases, including "I'm a police officer" and "Your vodka tastes like urine."
* [[Bulletproof Vest]]: The team is VERY consistent about putting these on when shooting is likely.
* [[By
* [[Cain and Abel]]: {{spoiler|Danny, a straight cop, is the Abel; his brother, Matt, is a Wall Street fraudster, savings thief, and drug money launderer}}
* [[Canon Dis Continuity]]: Doubles as a [[Retcon]]. In "Kalele", August March tells Steve that a "young officer" that was ALSO named McGarrett arrested him 30 years ago. Steve nods and acknowledges that the other McGarrett is his father, the same father who died in the pilot episode. Apparently, this show wants us to forget that Steve's father was named "John" and now wants us to pass him off as "Steve McGarrett Sr.".
Line 67:
** What McGarrett becomes, on the implicit approval of the Governor, with his new unit. Justified, or at least justifiable, in that McGarrett was trained as a special forces officer, and not as a police officer. He approaches a criminal suspect as an enemy to be defeated and not as an offender to be arrested and tried, and he has little or no appreciation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments because they don't apply to SEAL teams in combat.
{{quote| '''Danno:''' If you're going to be one of those "shoot first, ask questions later" types, I would like to be consulted, ''so I'll know when to duck!''}}
** Though normally a [[By
* [[Crossover]]: With ''[[NCIS Los Angeles]]'', which puts it and the original (thanks to Ed Asner's reprisal of August March) into the ''[[JAG (TV)|JAG]]''-[[The Verse|verse]].
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Chin Ho's backstory. Accused of embezzlement, he was dismissed from the Honolulu PD, disowned by his cop-pride family (except Kono), and separated from his fiancée. In "Ma Ke Kahakai" it is revealed that {{spoiler|Chin Ho's Uncle Keako took the money to pay for Aunt Mele's black-market kidney transplant, and Chin Ho took the blame for him. Unlike the rest of the family, Uncle's disfavor towards Chin Ho is for taking the fall and not letting the old man own up to what he did.}}
* [[Darkest Hour]]: Season 1 finale.
* [[Dating Catwoman]] & [[Star
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: In the snark-infested waters of ''Hawaii Five-0'', Danno is the undisputed champ, but pretty much everybody gets their turn. See the [[Hawaii Five
* [[Designated Girl Fight]]: While men might injure Kono, if there's a female villain to beat down, Kono will be the one doing it. Because [[Double Standard|we can't have male cops hitting girls]]. Averted in "Ma'eme'e": Kono goes toe-to-toe with a male [[Mook]].
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|Kono}} reaches this after Episode 2 of Season 2.
Line 101:
** Dr. Max, when driving Danny's car in the Season 2 opener, "Ha'i'ole".
* [[Driving Question]]: Who is Shelburne? Answered, apparently, in the second season finale, "Ua Hala":{{spoiler|1=McGarrett's mother, whom he (and we) thought had died years ago in a car bombing}}.
* [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu]]: In "Powa Maka Moana", a [[Added Alliterative Appeal|bitchy stolen goods buyer barricades himself behind bulletproof bars]]. Steve gives him five seconds to come out peacefully and talk about the case. [[What an Idiot!|Danny literally begs that guy to yield, but he still refuses]]. Steve then opens the bars -- with a ''hand grenade.''
* [[Dynamic Entry]]
** "Ke Kinohi": Steve enters a Yakuza biker bar by breaking the door down with a sportbike.
Line 167:
** In "Nalowale", McGarrett and Danno witness a suspect drug a girl's drink in a club. Danno tells the suspect to drink it, if he "didn't do anything to it", and if he doesn't drink it, Danno will break his teeth and make him drink it. He drinks it, and passes out. McGarrett wakes him up in an interrogation room with ''an air horn''.
** In "Mana'o," Danno ''ties a suspect to the hood of his car'', then proceeds to drive around the streets of Honolulu like a madman to get information out of him.
{{quote| '''<nowiki>McGarrett:</nowiki>''' Just for the record, if I pulled something like this, [[What the Hell, Hero?|you would be reading me the riot act on proper police procedure]].<br />
'''Danno:''' No. I'd probably just arrest you.<br />
'''<nowiki>McGarrett:</nowiki>''' Compared to this, hanging a guy off a roof and throwing a guy in a shark tank is pretty tame.<br />
'''Danno:''' You know what? I disagree. Shark cage is way worse.<br />
'''<nowiki>McGarrett:</nowiki>''' Whatever. You're wrong. I'm just saying, to be clear, next time I get a free pass, okay? }}
** In "Alaheo Pauʻole", Chin and Danno discover a small cache of weapons in a murder suspect's home. When the suspect tells them that the grenades in the cache are fakes, Danno makes him hold one and takes the pin out, which immediately makes the suspect start talking. Also elicits a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] from Chin:
{{quote| '''Chin:''' You've been hanging out with McGarrett too long!}}
* [[Genre Savvy]]
Line 189:
* [[Halloween Episode]]: "Ka Iwi Kapu". Five-0 investigates the murders of two college kids out [[First Person Camera|shooting video]] for a [[The Blair Witch Project (Film)|documentary]] on [[Army of the Dead|legendary Hawaiian ghost warriors]] in an [[Ancient Tomb|ancient Hawaiian graveyard]] at [[Tempting Fate|midnight]] on [[All Hallows Eve|Halloween]].
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: McGarrett and Danno catch a suspect putting a roofie into a girl's drink. They force ''him'' to drink it before carting him off. [[Captain Obvious|He passes out.]] They then awaken him with an air horn.
* [[I Call Her "Vera"]]: Sam Hanna dubs Danno's Camaro "Winifred". "Winnie" for short.
* [[I Can See You]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leW-co14MOo&NR=1 At 1:20]. "Should have taken the deal. By the way, that's a nasty cut on your eye."
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: All the episode titles (except for the pilot episode) are Hawaiian words or phrases. (The pilot episode is named [[Captain Obvious|"Pilot"]].)
Line 200:
** The Governor, whom Jack McGarrett has been investigating, authorizes the creation of Five-0 so she can keep an eye on Steve who subsequently takes up his father's investigation. We see how that finally works out in the Season 1 finale, "Oia'i'o".
* [[It Got Worse]]: "Oia'i'o"
* [[
** McGarrett in the [[Story Arc]] concerning the murders of his parents ("Pilot", "Hana 'a'a Makehewa", "Ke Kinohi", "Ne Me'e Laua Na Paio", "Ua Hiki Mai Kapalena Pau", "Oia'i'o").
** Danno in "Mana'o", "E Malama", and "Loa Aloha".
Line 212:
** Vince Fryer in "Ua Hala", the second season finale.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]
** McGarrett describes [[Book
** In this series, as the odd haole (non local) out, he is the king of the Lampshade Hanging, especially when it comes to McGarrett's ridiculously illegal interrogation techniques.
* [[Like an Old Married Couple]]: McGarrett and Danno. Lampshaded in "Ua Lawe Wale":
Line 232:
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: The boys of the Five-0 team. [[In Universe]], too: Kensi Blye apparently got a little hot and bothered when Danno and Chin Ho showed up in L.A. in part two of the big crossover.
* [[Mugging the Monster]]: In "Ke Kinohi", the Five-0 team discuss on how untouchable the Yakuza in Hawaii is. The next scene is Steve entering Yakuza bar by ramming the door with a motorbike. In the blink of an eye his team follow and line up the dumbstruck Yakuza guys.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Said almost word by word from a victim's parent during one episode. In the episode, college students partying on a boat are captured by pirates. When the Hawaii Five-0 team informs the parents that negotiating with the pirates' demands is a surefire way to get their children killed, one kid's father doesn't listen and secretly gives the pirates 400K to spare his son, despite his wife's reluctance to disobey the Five-0 team. When the pirate group's leader got impatient with the Five-0 team not complying with the ransom demands, he kills a kid and dumps him onto the beach. [[Irony|Guess who's the slain kid?]] The other students? They eventually get rescued, and were unharmed.
* [[Myth Arc]]: Five-0 vs. Wo Fat, and the related mystery of {{spoiler|1=John McGarrett's past}}.
* [[Mythology Gag]]
Line 272:
** In the 1968 original, the team was called "Five-O" from the very start, with no in-show explanation of how the name came about. The re-imagined version provides one. At the end of "Pilot", the characters are sitting around the office trying to come up with something better to call themselves than the prosaic "[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Governor's Task Force]]", but [[Averted Trope|can't think of anything.]] Two episodes later, at the end of "Malama Ka Aina", Kono derives the nickname from {{spoiler|1=McGarrett's high school football jersey number}}.
** "Pilot" also has an origin story of sorts for Danny's nickname "Danno".
* [[Pre
** "Pilot"
{{quote| '''<nowiki>McGarrett:</nowiki>''' There's something you should know about your brother.<br />
Line 312:
* [[Revealing Coverup]]: Chin barters his house's deed for 200k cash, which he hopes can obstruct HPD investigation to his uncle's embezzlement, believing that the storage records have been lost. It turns out that HPD have serial numbers on the money stolen, and they ascertain that Chin's money isn't the drug money.
* [[Rewarded As a Traitor Deserves]]: {{spoiler|The Governor and Jena Kaye}}, both by Wo Fat.
* [[Ripped
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]
** The bad guys in "Lanakila" and "Loa Aloha".
Line 320:
** McGarrett goes on one in "Oia'i'o", confronting {{spoiler|the Governor}} at gunpoint.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Yes, Hawaii is beautiful, but the way the show portrays it, it's like paradise on Earth.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: The Yakuza boss in "Ke Kinohi" is the state's primary benefactor. Averted in a sense, because while Steve cannot prove his involvement in his parents' death, {{spoiler|he manages to arrest the boss for breaking in to his house, kidnapping his sister, and stealing the Champ box}}.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: The whole point of the new unit.
{{quote| '''Governor Jameson:''' ...Your task force will have blanket authority to go after guys like Hesse, and ''get them the'' '''''HELL''''' ''off my island''. Your rules, my backing, no red tape....}}
** And this is being deconstructed slightly in Season 2, as the fallout from the Season 1 finale is coming back to haunt Five-0. The new Governor is keeping them on a much tighter leash, assigning them a team member of his choosing to keep an eye on them. And it turns out that Captain Fryer {{spoiler|used a full police investigation of Five-0's behavior as leverage to get Kono to work for him}}.
Line 347:
** Kono's dismissal from the force, and {{spoiler|her resulting involvement with a shady group of ex-cops}} ("Hana 'a'a Makehewa", "Oia'i'o", "Ua Lawe Wale", "Kame'e", "Mea Makamae") {{spoiler|before it was revealed that she was not going corrupt after all.}}
* [[Teeth Clenched Teamwork]]: Steve and Danny have very different approaches to the law, though they establish something of an understanding over the course of the pilot.
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: Invoked by Danny to Steve regarding ''Ms. [[Pac-Man (Video Game)|Pac-Man]],'' of all things:
{{quote| '''Steve:''' You ever make it to Double-Pretzel level?<br />
'''Danny:''' Triple-banana, bitch. }}
Line 360:
'''McGarrett:''' You got an I.D.?<br />
'''Danno:''' No Ja -- his head was in a box. Jack.<br />
'''Chin Ho:''' [[Dude, Not Funny|That ain't right, bro.]]<br />
'''Danno:''' Too soon?<br />
'''McGarrett:''' Little bit. }}
Line 372:
{{quote| '''Danny:''' If a suspect dies, he no longer has the ability to speak! Ergo, he's useless to us!<br />
'''Steve:''' ''([[High Altitude Interrogation|to guy he's hanging off roof]])'' You think anybody's gonna care? You just killed two people, buddy! I'd be doing the world a favor!]]<br />
'''Danny:''' [[What the Hell, Hero?|That's enough!]] }}
* [[True Companions]]: Invoked in show in "Ohana", which is the Hawaiian word for Family.
* [[Undercover Cop Reveal]]
Line 390:
* [[Wham Line]]: In "Ua Hala":
{{quote| '''McGarrett:''' {{spoiler|Mom!}}}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Danno does this to Steve on regular basis. (Example: see the dialogue under [[Deadpan Snarker]] and [[Gene Hunt Interrogation Technique]] above.)
* [[Witness Protection]]: "E Malama"
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]
