Why Wait Until Uncle Kevin Dies?

Why Wait Until Uncle Kevin Dies? Episode 128, Season Six. Originally aired Oct. 30, 1973.

A fairly unconvincing boat explosion (looks like flames were painted on the film) which kills the heir to an island fortune leads Five-O to “Reversions Inc.”--a scam / company run by a clearly devious oldtimer--I mean, he has a British accent! The company pays the heirs their fortunes prematurely and then kills them to collect their insurance investment. Five-O set up an elaborate sting with a guy posing as the nephew of a local millionaire, drawing out all the scum of the company before their planned sweet escape to Switzerland.
Naturally, when the English crook is snared he goes directly into quoting, by memory, Alexander Pope’s “Essay on Man,”:

Who sees with equal eye, as God of all,
A hero perish, or a sparrow fall,
Atoms or systems into ruin hurled,

And, yet, of course, McGarrett jumps in and finishes the line:

And now a bubble burst, and now a world

Like in the episode centered around Byron’s The Giaour, McGarrett is a closet man of refined taste in poetry.

Favorite Moment: McGarrett’s Don Corleone-like fake voice in the scam phonecall. Or, Dano’s questioning of busty drunk inheritee on a boat.
