Follow the White Brick Road
Follow the White Brick Road. Episode 95, season 4. Original air date: 3/7/72.
Why would anyone suspect a tattoo parlor called "The White Horse" of being a front front for a heroin ring? Next thing you know, they'll be raiding massage parlors. It's amazing how many junkies there are in the world of 5-0. If you measured the cases in the 5-O files (esp. the incidental cases where a junkie turns out to be an important stoolie etc.) vs. the population, Honolulu would make Seattle look like Prince Edward Island.
Good shot of Chinatown in Honolulu circa 1972. The staggering junkie falls in the street which sets in motion an elaborate sting where Dan-o, and eventually McGarrett, are undercover on a naval ship being used to import smack. The science angle seemed strange (all that fingernail stuff) but you got to love old 70s shows with lots of drug slang. "I thought I was just chippin' but I'm hooked!"
Highlight: The final scene, where McGarrett sngrily slams the wad of bills into the heroin powder, is one of my favorites of the entire series.
