Journey out of Limbo
Journey out of Limbo. Season 5, episode 104. Originally aired: Oct. 31 1972.
What's funnier than Dan-o with amnesia? Chin Ho's and Ben's disbelieving laughter at his murky suggestions as to what he remembers. "A boat indoors! Ha!" This ep starts out with Dan-o being dumped out in a truck full of sand, suffering a brain concussion. As he slowly regains his memory, he realized he was being hunted down by a group of people who were planning the assassination of a Chinese official (played by Philip Ahn, famous for his turn as the demanding Master Kan on Kung Fu) who was visiting Hawaii. The chase of Dan-o is great: he's in slo-mo on a horse, pursued by maniacs in a jeep. Naturally, it turns out Dan-o ended up in the snad truck because he dove right into it as it was passing by. There may have even been ethnic dimension to Dan-o's recovery as Steve kind of calls Chin Ho and Ben off from their disbelief and has in faith in Dan-o as he peels away the plot by a father (Keenan Wynn) of a soldier killed in Korea by the Communist Chinese "dignitary." It's one of the more odd-ball turns in Five-O, but a good turn all the same.
Highlight: When McGarrett starts interrogating Dan-o as if he was held under indictment--McGarrett's famous impatience with psychology.
